A BOON TO FAT MEN.
Tennesseean Wants Bill to Regulate
 Pullman Sleeping Berths.

WASHINGTON, Dec Representa- tive BrownIow of Tennessee is tall and plump and weighs 250 pounds. Last summer he came north in sleeping car. There were only few passen- gers. He had lower berth. The up- per berth was down. Brownlow said it was too hot to sleep in that stuffy little place. He asked the porter to put up the upper berth so he might get some air. The porter told him it was against the rules. Brownlow ap- pealed to the conductor. The rules were quoted again.
 Then Brownlow said things in the choicest Tennessee about monopoly that would make it's patrons suffer when there was no reason for it. He sweltered all night. In the morning, hot and tired, he swore mighty oath that he would get revenge. He is after 1t now with a bill that requires the Pullman company to keep upper berths up when there are no passengers for them. He says he will pass it too.

Fairest Christmas Gift.

If were Santa Claus know
 What would give to every boy And every little maiden. Oh,
 It would not be painted toy, It would not be a blushing doll
 Nor any sugared thing to eat. The same gift would give to all And deem the giving sweet. If were Santa Claus and might To each child give the gift chose, The world would glow with new de- light
 And lose the darkest of It's woes, For I would give to every boy
 And every maiden I could find The grace to gain unbounded joy Through merely being kind. --S. F. Riser in chicaGo Record Herald

ION THE BRIDGE AT MIDNIGHT,

No play has stronger appeal to human sympathy than "On the Bridge at Midnight with its sightless mother looking for her stolen child while the tide of events flows all against her as she gropes about in the heart of d great city. But even the sad side of city life has it's humor and this is very ingeniously introduced in On the Bridge at Midnight" with two characters, among others, that have be- come popular as the famous draw bridge scene. Germany, the professor. and Reddy, the bootblack. Klimt and Gazzolo have not made the mistake often to be noted in some fiamingly advertised plays of relying on a bit of scenery to get the attention and pa tronage of the public. They offer q full and excellent drama with even such a masterpiece as the bridge scene taking its proper place as an aid to the story. The play will be seen at Poli's Saturday afternoon and evening. Prices are p, 8 and 50 cents; mat inee 9 cents.

brated as One Event.


CHERRYVALE, Kan, June 2o.--Prepara-
tions for grand celebration of the opening

zens will take a hand in the merrymaking
Among the important speakers who will
be present is the head of the Kansas Grand
Army of the Republic, Mr. p. II. Coney Of

and the merchants and manufacturers will
Join in n great trades parade.

Cuban Diarrhoea.

United States soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war Know what this
disease is and that ordinary remedies have
little more effect than so much water. Gu
ban diarrhoea is almost as severe and dan
gerous as a mild attack of cholera There
is one remedy, however, that can always
be depended upon, as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Minnie Ja-
cobs of Houston, Tex: Il hereby certify
that Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy cured my husband Of a
severe attack of Cuban diarrhoea, which he
brought home from Cuba. We had several
doctors. but they did him no good. One
bottle of this remedy cured him. as our

The Cotton Situation.

New York, Sept. 23.-In their week.
ly cotton review Miller & Co. say;
"The usual decline at the beginning
Of new season has not occurred and
to that extent the farmer has the ad.
vantage. II is notable that the farmers
are not willing to sell under 10 cents
pound, while the spinners stop buy
ing as soon as the price rises above
the l0ia cent limit. As a result the
market moved between very narrow
limits Opinions are divided as to the
capacity or desire Of the October bull
clique to take up, as predicted, 100000
bales Of cotton on their October longs.
Time alone can decide that point, but it
will soon became clear, rs delivery day
is only few ddys Off. The crop re.
ports from Georgia, Arkansas, Texas
and other sections are rather unfav-
orable and the situation seems to be-
come worse every week. The average
decrease in condition for September is
about Z per cent. Should the decrease
be no more than the average, the con.
dition on October 3 would be about
65.l, or exactly the same as two years
ag when the crop turned out only ten
million bales, Another cold wave
would probably greatly increase the
crop, as the plants, being late in their
development are more susceptible to
injury on that account than under more
favorable conditions.
