DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now
feel fully warranted in offering to pay

they ask is fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.

1t is Not For the Rich Oniy

But it is for the poor, the high
and the low, everyone. Over
fourteen hundred and seventy
five members have Joined the
Harrison Mutual Burial Associa-
ton of Barton county in the last
three weeks. We hope to raise
it to four thousand members be-
fore long.
For ten cents you are insured
a hundred dollar burial, and for
five cents your child is insured a
fifty dollar burial. No assess
are made upon children under
10 years of age. Only twelve
cents is assessed at the time of a
death.
There is no profit, no salary.
and the full profits and proceeds
go to this Association.
How do we keep it up? Why
simply because we don't COM
nence unless we have one thous-
and members. One thousand
members assessed ten cents each
brings one hundred dollars.
How much will it cost you a
year? Eighty four cents to one
dollar and fourty-four cents.
So you see, you can pay for
seventy years and not pay out
on it. 1t is the cheapest kind of
insurance known, and it is all
within your own town and coun-
ty, where the death rate is much
less than in the large cities and
unhealthy localities.
Send us ten cents and become
a member of this association,
and also have your children Join
it. You are given a pass. book
and in it are entered the names
Of the members who die, and just
opposite, the amount you paid
on the assessment, so you have
full workings of the Association
and know exactly where the
money goes.
None but pesons in good health
are allowed to Join so you had
better send in your name now,
for you do not know how soon
you will be stricken down or. a
disease take hold of you so that
can't become a member.
Nearly ali of the larger towns
in this state and Oklahoma have
these associations. Some of
have as many as eight and ten
thousaed members. If the mem
bership is two thousand or more
one assessment does for two or
more deaths. You can take out
a membership in this association
with the E. r. Moses Nero. Co.,
of Great Bend ank Hoisington,
with the kimpler Furniture Co.
of Ellingood. or S. W. Gano at
Pawnee Rock, or with us asslong
as we remain here.

~ 6AoOs '0SA yOo oAO SldO,
think of us. We have something
to make you gladder. We don't
aim to let anyone come into our
store and go out again without
getting something to please them
ii they want to be pleased. five
cannot pleas e them any other
way, we will sit down and play a
piece of music for them, and if it
don't do it we will sing their sor-
rows away. While we are doing
it, we want you to look around
and think out just about what
you ought to get to make the
folks at home glad. Whether it
is wall paper, a carpet or rug,
whether a picture or a piece of
furniture, or a piano or an or
gan. We are quite sure that
most anything you take home
will be acceptable, and we have
heard some of them intimate
that they would like to have a
nice set of dishes, one Of those
nice hand painted sets that we
are selling at $50 to $50, and are
composed of one hundred pieces.
OF course we have them as low
as So, $40 and $12 a set.
Even in these doubtless times
of a big wheat crop, when the
rain is held back and the wind
blows sometimes like a hurricane
you find that, some people are
going to enjoy themselves to-day
at the present time, without
waiting for next year, because
they think next year may never
come.
They can afford it now and
they are going to do it, therefore
they are buying the Moon or
Velie buggy or carriage, and
giving their families a rare treat
in riding to town in it instead of
the old lumber wagon.
They know too well that fixing
up the home with new paper on
the wall, carpets on the floor,
and furniture in the rooms, with
a new buggy or carriage, makes
the home folks work Better, feel
better and they find it is the best
investment they can make.
There is no money in it when
you have to pump water for the
cattle and farm use. You think
you are saving, but you are not,
you are losing your health. You
annot afford to do it because
you are too tired, when you have
all the other. work to do, and
what is the use of it, when you
can have a windmill at most any
price, and if you don't want a
steel tower you get a wood one
for about half the price, of the
steel one. Get the Sampson. or
Ideal windmill and you will get
best. If you want cheaper ones
we have them.
Does your roof leak? If it
does, get some of our roofing
paint. Do you want some new
roofing? If you do we have
most any kind at any price.
We do any kind of plumbing,
tin work; spouting, pipe work,
pump work, putting in bath
tubs and. most anything in this
line that you want done.

An attempt was made some time
Friday night to ruin the plumbing in
the new building of the Amateur Ath-
letic club, on Main avenue at the south
end of the Monroe street bridge. The
damage was fortunately discovered on
Saturday. 1t evidently was the purpose
of the perpetrators of the outrage to
try and conceal their work, in the
hopes that it would not be discovered
before the water was turned into the
building. In that case the damage
would have amountd to thousands of
dollars. Its early discovery makes it
possible to repair the pipes at an ex-
pense of about 800.
Sol Mayer. prominent member of
the S. A. A. c. and one of the building
committeeman, said today that it
would probably delay moving into the
building for three weeks.
Members of the plumbers union,
who are on a strike, indignantly deny
all knowledge of the affair, but mem
bers of the club lay the blame at the
door of the union men.

to be requested to endorse my candi-
dacy for the United States senate. We

cation ought to be instructed by the

ROOT AND CAPTAIN CovERLY
JUST IN TIME TO SAVE THEIR
LIVES.

The lives of probably 80 women of
Che demi monde were saved by few
seconds about IL o'clock this morning.
when, through the industry of an I'M
skilled carpenter, the second floor of
the Main building which is occupied
by 81 notorious apartments came with
IN an ace of giving way and precipita-
ting the occupants, some of whom were
asleep, to the floor below, and probably
killing them.
This building recently came into the
exclusive control of Bruno, an Italian
Of the tenderloin. 1t is his intention
to open up the entire building on a
large plan. He has remodeled the
second and third floors, making room
for 60 more women.
For the past few days he has been

room for pool and billiard tables and

the work was not going along fast
enough for the Italian and he set an
Nnskilled laborer to work tearing out
. partition at the back of the old Jap
cigar store.
He had the partition all torn away
before he noticed that the floor above
his head had commenced to sag in an
alarming manner. He took fright and
rushed over to the city hall to the
Office of Commissioner Root. The
commissioner hurried to the scene of
danger and witnessed sight that made
his blood run cold when the full scope
Of the danger appealed to him. With
out moments hesitency he ran to
q new building on the corner of Ste
vens and Main Washington streets and
ordered all the carpenters at work
there to hasten over to the Main build
ing,
They arrived in the nick of time,
as the only support of the upper floor

sh..ott to the point of giving away.
Had they broken above with its hu-
man beings they would have been
dashed below to frlghttul death.
Without waiting for the men to put
In the needed supports Mr.. Root and
Chief of Police Coverly ran to the up
stairs and hammered on the closed
door and aroused the inmates, who
came trembling out of the building as
fast as they could scamper.
In Their Night Clothes.
Women rushed about in frantic
pianner, some believing the resort was
being raided by the police. Many of
them did not wait to put on anything
more than loose wrapper, while
others rushed out of the building clad
!n less.
Guards were then stationed at each
entrance with orders to allow no one
TO enter until the chief had rescinded
the orders. 49,.
