FORT scorrs PATRIOTISM.
War Relics to Be Stored in Block
House Built in '63.


Fort Scott, Kan, Dec. 5.-An inter
Saturday, the outgrowth of a move
ment to preserve interesting relics of
the civil war.
In 1852 nearly $1,000,000 worth of
commissary and hospital supplies for
the army were stored at Fort Scott
The Confederates learned of this, and
one object of what is popularity known
as Prices raid" was the capture of
these stores. AS a protection to the
city four forts were erected, each con-
tanning four block houses, built of 2x6
lumber spiked together. All except
one of these houses have long since
been destroyed.
DR.. w. S. Mcdonald, a leading
physician. conceived the idea of pre-
serving this as a relic. He accordingly
had it removed to his grounds and
erected in front of il a large fagpole
surmounted by an electric light. The
Grand Army post and the Woman's
Relief corps became interested in the
matter and purchased a fine flag to
be placed on the pole erected by DR..
Mcdonald. Saturday afternoon a pub
lie meeting was held at which the flag
was formally presented DR. McDon-
aid, with resolutions thanking him for
his patriotic act in preserving the
early defenses of the city
Mrs. G. H. Haynes, who was present
during the Price raid, and whose hus-
band, Captain Haynes, helped build
the Notifications, has agreed to donate
and the block house will be fitted up
for their reception and the whole will
be made a permanent display of those
early days.

STARVED TO DEATH.

Our text today is the story of the
miser who taught his ass to live on
straw, of which he gave him smaller
portion every day.
Just as the miser had got him SO
trained as to eat one straw day-the
poor ass died.
He is an ass who starves himself to
death-aS thousands are doing, nnisled
by foolish teachers-because their
stomachs have become too weak,
through neglect or disease, to do the
work which nature has provided for
their stomachs to do.
Because the engine is out of gear.
would you consign it to the junk
heap?
Why, no! Mend it!
Commit slow suicide because your
digestive organs leak?
Certainly not! Take Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets.
One thing is sure as shooting
You can never get a new stomach.
You must mend it, or it will Leaf
you miserable existence.
The only way to mend it is to take
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
This has been practically and scien-
thousands whom Stuarts Dyspepsia
Tablets have positively cured, after
every other treatment of medicine,
mineral waters, pills, and slow, sui
cidal starvation, had failed.
These methods are all unscientific-
therefore false.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sci
entific-therefore true. and successful
Having cured SO many thousands
many of whom doubtless have suf-
fered more than you do-do we claim
too much when we say that Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will surely do good
for you?
Surely not.
Especially when we make it plain
that no promise is made to cure more
than one acknowledgements
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a
positive cure for just this one dis
ease.
They are a scientific combination of
ingredients which search out the weak
spots in all the digestive organs and
make them strong and well.
They have an immediate digestive
action on undigested food. and thus.
hile curing weak organs. they at the
same time help them to do their work.
They thus stand for all that is good
in the medical treatment of Dyspepsia,
and for nothing that is bad.
They are not a fad but a fact.
They are safe, pleasant, certain and
permanent. and can be taken by the
most delicate invalids without fear OF
harmful results.

RABBITS IN THE WE'LL.
Water at Lyon County School Teem-
ing With Bacteria.

Emporia, Kas., Dec. 5.-The ques-
ton as to whether dead rabbits in the
school house we'll was the cause of an
epidemic of diphtheria is worrying the
residents of the south end of Lyon
county.
There has been an unusual amount
of diphtheria in the school district, As
cases, and several deaths have resulted.
The patrons of the school started an
investigation, and finally decided that
the we'll might be to blame. A sample
of the water was brought to Emporia
and the chemist found it to be full of
typhoid and diphtheria germs. Upon
investigation it was found that twelve
dead rabbits, in various stages of de-
composition. had been fished from the
school house well, some time after the
fall term of school opened. The we'll
was thoroughly cleaned, but the I'M
healthy conditions caused by the dead
animals have evidently remained. ~ x

Attention Farmers.

Why remain in the north and stay
indoors six months in the year con-
surning what you raise during the
other six monthsf
GO south where you can work out
doors every month in the year, and
where you are producing something

have to be protected from the rigors
of winter by expensive shelter.
Economical stuck feeding requires

and fat forming foods in certain pro-
portions Alabama and Florida pro-

GOOD TUBER CROP.


A. r. Sheppard of Abilene was on
the Salina market today with a hum
bred bushels of sweet potatoes and he
gave the Union reporter some interest
ing items regarding the business of
raising the tubers, and the years crop
Mr. Sheppard and his two sons are
partners in the business. They live in
Abilene and rent ground about two
miles west of that city. This season
they had IT acres in sweet potatoes.
They put out this ground themselves
and hired one man when it came time
to dig the tubers. The total yield of
the IT acres was 1900 bushels or
about an average of 140 bushels per
acre.
Mr.. Sheppard has been at the bust
ness twelve years and this crop has
been the best he has ever raised. The
first potatoes he marketed this season
brought 50 per bushel. One-third of
the crop was disposed of for 81 per
bushel- They are now. selling for rs
cents retail. He thinks the crop will
sell for an average of about 80 cents
per bushel or a sum total of $4,000.
Thus far in the season Mr.. Sheppard
and his two sons have disposed of
about 1900 bushels of the crop.
There are only small tracts of land
here and there that is good for the
tubers. which requires very sandy,
warm soil. Gumbo soil is ufitted for
the crop, but unless too wet is good
for the Irish potato.-SaIina Union.

the college teams. She has played
three years without meeting defeat.

Coursinp at OkIahona CITY.

Oklahoma City, Dec. 5.-The Okla
homa Coursing club has arranged for
a coursing meet to be held at Colcord
park in this city on Christmas day.
Dogs from Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska,
Texas, Indian Territory and Oklahoma
will participate in the sport and the
jack rabbits will be brought here from
Wichita. The main feature of the
meet will be the effort to organize a
coursing association composed of the
states mentioned for the purpose of
h folding an annual meet either about
the holidays or at other times of the
year. The national coursing meet was
held here last year with considerable
success. when a local hound, Bright
Eyes" made very good showing in
the higher grade contests. Excursions
will be run from the places mentioned
at the meet to he held here on Christ

Jockex club i'm Session.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-Race track mag
mates of the middle west are to hold
an important meeting today in this
city. The annual session of the West
ern Jockey club will be called at noon
in the offices of, the Grub in the Ash
land block, All the so-caled '1egiti-
mate" tracks between the Alleghaney
and Rocky Mountains come within
the domain of this organization. A
possible clash over racing dates is the
vital issue at the meeting. Perhaps
the board of stewards, which is the
ruling power in the Western Jockey
club, will be able to come to a deci-
sion in the matter with comparative
ease; on the other hand, a deadlock
may arise. The most important con-
f1ict is at New Orleans. For several
years the Crescent City Jockey club
has held a monopoly of racing at that
point and it's winter meetings have
gradually grown in scope until they
furnish sport comparable with that on
the big northern tracks in summer
time.
