er-Big Yield Expected.

Topeka. Kan, Aug. l7.-No serious
damage has been done to Kansas crops

A PLAGUE OF FLEAS.
Insects Make Life Miserable for People
of Edqewater Park.

Edgewater Park, Pa, Aug. 17-I,ife
Is almost unbearable to the people here
owing to the prevalence of fleas. There
Is no escape from the little insects and
their visitation amounts almost to n
plague Rich and poor suffer alike. rs
they have invaded nearly every house
in the village.
The people spend their time scratch,
ing and hunting for their tormentors
when they are not applying insect pow
der in hopes Of killing them. Cats and
dogs are suffering fortunes. as some OF
them are literally covered with the
pests. Where they cam" from and
how to get rid Of them the people dc
not know.

Permanent Muscular STRENGTH,

There is this to be borne in mind in
these days when so many young men
are giving so much attention to physi-
cal development, in gymnastic and ath-
letic exercises, that there cannot be
pcr;nanent muscular strength where
there is not blood strength.
Uooi's Sarsaparilla gives blood
strength, promotes digestion and as
sanitation, and builds up the whole
system.

would do everything to prevent the
growth of Cosmopolis; but if it does not
take definite action at meeting which

will exist that the council does not in

can be found.

says that Daniel Webster had tire
some habit in his public speeches of
cropping after the most suitable word
after this fashion: "Why is it, Mr..
Chairman, that there has gathered,
congregated; this great number of in
habitants, jewellers, here; that these
roads, avenues, routes of travel, high
ways, converge, meet, come together
here?" When the speech was printed
all the synonyms but the best one
would be left out.

Amsterdam, in Holland, city Of ten
miles in circumference, is mostly built
on piles driven into the sandy subsoil,
but the flowing of the tide and the
debris of the Ainstel river have made
ninety islands, and the city has more
canals than streets. The watery ways
are traversed by over 300 bridges, so
that Amsterdam has earned the desig-
nation of the Venice of the North.

able to compound medicine that would
