A Half Way Hospital.

For many years we have repeatedly
called the attention of cur people to
the practicability of the establishment
of hospital or sanitarium at this
city, for the purpose of treating con-
sumptives and other invalids who
yearly go to the mountains for physical
relief, and who are invariably told to
go by easy stages stop occasion
ally for weeks at time, as they reach
the western country, and become
accustomed to the higher attitudes.
Every year Great Bend has these
visitors, and if the proper effort was
made, and a proper place fitted up,
where the desired food, baths, etc.
could be furnished, with trained
nurses and competent physicians in
charge, this city could be made the
haven of rest and recuperation for
many weary and pain-racked body.
And the Morrison House, long
''white elephant" on the hands of the
owners, would be an ideal building
for such a sanitarium. 1t is a mis-
take that our Commercial Club has
not made strenuous efforts to interest
the right parties in this matter.
There is a good investment in sight,
both for the man who takes hold of
it and for. this city.

A Socialist EgGed.

A man giving his name as S.
Schulberg, and claiming to be a
Socialist, while delivering a ha-
rangue at the street corner Hast Tues
day evening, had a number of eggs
thrown at him. While it is regretted
that any of our citizens should allow
their feelings to override their judg-
ment, it is pretty hard matter to work
up much sympathy for a fellow whose
name looks and sounds so much like
Czolgosch, who lives the life of
tramp by inclination, and who re-
mains just sober enough and liberal
enough in his language to evade the
law, when it is generously construed.
The less said the better for all parties
concerned.-Sterling Journal.
Sterling, Kan, Sept. 3.-The
socialist speaker who was legged" by
some men and boys Tuesday night
has turned the tables on his torment
ers by having them arrested. The
affair was not a very creditable one,
even if the speaker was ranter. He
was entitled to his say, and what he
said was not nearly so violent as the
effort he used in expressing himself

Mrs Norris was trying to unwrap

that amputation was necessary. Mrs.
Norris many friends will be very
sorry to hear of the accident.

WHAT is CATARRH?
Hyomei Only Guaranteed Cure for This
Common and Disa greeable Disease.

Hyomei cures catarrh by the simple
method of breathing it into the air
passages and lungs. 1t kills the
germs of catarrhal poison, heals and
soothes the irritated mucous mem
brane and effectually drives this dis
ease from the system.
If you have any of the following
symptoms, catarrahal. germs are at
work somewhere in the mucous mem
brane of the throat, bronchial tubes
or tissues of the lungs.
offensive breath huskness of voice
dryness of nose discharge from the nose
pain across the noise stoppage of the nose at
pain in the back of night
the head aching of the body

Hyomei will destroy activity of all
catarrhal germs in the respiratory or

be complete.
This is strong statement. but

Fertilizers.
One of the most WOnderfui deVel-
opments of modern times is that or
the manufacture and trade in com
mercial fertilizers The farmers III
the great Mississippi Valley only
few years ago ridiculed the ldea that
their lands would ever need fertlllzliS.
But they have found out that even
their soils, formerly considered mex
haustible, are losing fertility ana heed
help. And now we have before us the
bulletin of the California Experiment
Station, giving the fertilizer law OF
that State and showing that Il COM
panies REGISTERED there 176 brands
of fertilizers and fertlllzlns
materials. And thus from the
Atlantic to the Pacific they
are finding out that the exhausted ele-
mcnts in the soil must be replaced
if success is to be had in the continued
cropping of the land. The danger is
that in these new localities for fertil-
iZers, growers may fall into the same
errors that are common in the South,
of depending on the fertilizers mere
ly to make a sale crop and to over
look their real value in the increase
Of the production of nitrogen fixing
crops that will help the land and feed
stock and enable the farmer to make
more manure at home. The reports
of the fertilizer controls of the vari-
Gus States show an immense number
of brands with fancy names, many OF
them identical in everything but the
brand and others varying only in the
different proportions in which the ma
terials are mixed. And farmers get
In the habit of buying by the brand

ports and finding the exact nature of
the different brands. Hundreds of
brands of complete fertilizers, or those
containing certain percentages of nj
trogen, phosphoric acid and potash
are on the market, and too many
| farmers buy them without Investigate
| ing so as to ascertain whether they
need buy all of these elements or not
| and in most cases there is no need for
the purchase of some of them if the
farmer farms right. We repeat, as
we have often said, that in a grain

put it, and in many soils one of the
E, other two ingredients may not be
needed, though, we note that usually
potash alone may not give as good re-
suits. even in a soil needing it, I'M
less there is due percentage of phos-
phorus added. What we are trying
to impress is the necessity for the
farmer to experiment with his soil and
to find out what it needs and what he
need not buy for it, for thousands of
farmers are annually spending money
for what they need not buy if they
fully understand the needs of their
soil. And no one but the farmer can
find out what these needs are.

CORPSE USED FOR EXPERIMENT.
Ooctors Stab Body to Prove How
Young Was Slain.

Coroners physicians stabbed mo,

ing oo"n through the mans lung and men,
etratihg MS fourth dorsal vertebra. The
oeeo was done at the morgue in the pres
ence ana at the request of two assistant
oistrlct attorneys in New York YESTERDAY
The man died of tuberculosis severa,
days ago. and the purpose Of the exneri-
ment was TO demonstrate whether If was
possible for a man to have inflicted sucb a
wound on himself. The probe that was
employed was directed in exactly the
course taken by the bullet that killed
Caesar Young, who died in a cab with
Nan Patterson. The district attorneys
office maintains that Young could not have
wounded himself in this manner. and that
Nan Patterson or some one else must have
slain him.
a wound could be self-inflicted. and as
bearing out his view cites the fact of a
marx on caesar Young's right hand that
might nave been made by pistol If he
had pulled 1t with his thumb. If you hold
a pistol in your right hand at your left
shoulder. pointing downward and back
ward with your thumb on the trigger and
your myers around the handle. you will
understand DR.. OHanlons theory of how
Young killed himself
DR.. Schultze, however, says that in his
Judgment man could not hold pistol in
position to make such a wound and pull
the trigger.
They argued and measured, and the re-
suit of 1T was that the lawyers and DIR.
Schultze were confirmed in their opinion
that Caesar Youngs wound was not self
inflicted. and DR.. O'Hanlon was fortified in
his position that it was quite possible for
such wound to be self-iniicted, and in
this lies the germ Of much expert testi-
mony that will be given at the trial. which

Roosevelt's Order Disregarded.

dispatch for Philadelphia says: Despite
President Roosevelts order, issued more
than month ago, that soldiers widows and
dependents should get back their work as
seamstresses at the Philadelphia arsenal,
300 of these poor women have ever since
been left in idleness. They comprise those
who made blue kersey trousers. Their en-
forced idleness of seven weeks is said to
have reduced some of them to pitiable des-
titution.
Prompted by personal knowledge of
these painful facts. Miss Eva Houser,
member of the committee representing the
seamstresses, addresses a letter to Presi-
dent Roosevelt. After congratulating the
chief executive upon his reelection, Miss
Houser informed him that the work on blue
trousers had not been restored to the wo-
men.
