Teacher,

That a change, substantially for
the better, has come upon the farmer
and stoeknaa of western Kansas, is
well known TO the close observer.
Many of the early day claim holders
who were too often land grabbers
rather than farmers. have. passed on
and their holdings now belong to the
farmers and stockmen who till and
craze for the money there is in it.
With this change confidence is re
stored. Land is valued for an income
instead of speculation. With this Goa
dition existing capital is seeking
Western securities, not in the way Of
former years, but on conservative
lines. In brief, that portion of thu
globe known as western Kansas, ha:
struck her gait.

.oCHOOL BONDS
ARE DEFEATED
Every Precinct Goes Against the
High School Proposition.
UNOFFICIAL MAJORITY IS POS

The special election held Saturday
in school district number one, to de-
tt rhine whether Great Bend was to
. have thirty thousand dollar high
school building, resulted in an over
whelming defeat of the bonds, every
precinct in the district, except one,
going against the proposition by large
majorities. The unofficial majority
against the bonds in the city was 202
and 4 against them lin the country
or outside territory.
A rather heavy vote, between 700
and 800, was polled in the entire dis
trict. The unofficial majorities in
the various precincts were as follows:
First Ward, SO; Second Ward 81;
Third Ward So; Fourth Ward &c; At
tached Territory 4.
The election has probably settled
the school agitation until after it is
determined what the action of the
legislature will be. 1t is understood
that strong effort is to be made to
get special bill passed through the
legislature to compel the county to
establish county high school.
Some of the members of the Board
ofEducation favor submitting another
Proposition to the voters in the near
future, but it is not thought that such
a plan will be ca, ried out.
The upper floor of the G. A. r.
hall has been rented and equipped
for school purposes and school will
commence there Tuesday morning
Miss Dighton will have charge OF
that department.

Callender.Ewing

Miss Ida Calendar and E. Francis
Ewing were united in marriage Sat
urday night at the home of Miss sCal-
le.der's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. E.
Robe in the east part of town. The
wedding was quiet one, only the i'm
mediate relatives being in attendance.
Rev. Olinger of the Presbyterian
church performed the ceremony. The
contracting parties are two of, Bar
ton county most prominent educators
the groom for many years holding the
position of principal of the Great
Bend high school, and at one time the
Republican candidate for county
superintendent of public instruction
in the days when the Democrats
were thicker than they are now. The
bride has been teacher in variou:
schools IN the county for a number
of years land has proved eminently
successful IN every position. She ha:
resigned as a member of the Pawnet
Rock faculty and will go with hel
husband to Syracuse where he i:
superintendent of the schools. Thu
RUs1LER sincerely wishes them al
the Joy which comes of a congenia
marriage.

Surprise the Visitors.

A new years surprise party was
given at the J. V. Brinkman home
Saturday night to Mrs. Carrie
Humphrey, of Abilene, Miss Hoffman
of Enterprise, Miss Alice Sterl of
Abilene, and Miss Vera Jones OF
Michigan, who are here visiting
Miss Mable Brinkman. The
company passed the evening playing
whist until the bells and whistles
throughout the town marked the
birth of the new year. Suitable re
freShmentS were served.

now over.

? The question now arises: "What
is the school board going to do about
it," Bow TO the apparent will of the
majority, of course. The bonds will
not be issued. And incidentally, the
"paint shop" and ''crow's nest" will
continue to masquerade as the homes
of learning-the scenes of target
practice by the unfortunate young
ideas-until some other plan is devel-
oped that will meet with the approval
of the dissatisfied. Anyway, there
will not be any unseenly scramble to
become a member of the Great Bend
school board by men who have any
other kind of business to attend to.

The advent of the New Year was
accompanied by much noise, shooting
of guns and blowing of whistles
Saturday night. Several citizens
rushed up town very much excited
and hunting for the fire as the result
of the prolonged blowing of the fire
whistle.

new YEAR RESOLUTIONS.
kilograms To The Democrat From
Prominent Americans. :

The HUSTLER Saturday wired in
quiries to several American citizens
who are most prominent in the public
eye, in regard to their intentions
during the coming year. The
following answers have been received:
GOV. ODELL OF NEW YORK.
Albany, Jan. IL have resolved
to quit public life. This thing of
getting credit as peacemaker looks
all right in pint, but privately, as
long as Plat has the upper hand here,
politics in New York it is too.stren-
uous for my delicate cons tuition.
CARTER H. HARRISON.
Chicago. Jan. IL positively
decline. to accept the nomination for
President in 1908, SO kindly rendered
me recently by w. J. Bryan. The
municipal campaign is tco far in the
future for me to give an expression at
the present time.
THOMAS w. LAWSON.
Boston, Jan. 1.-The report that 1
have entered into conspiracy with
the Topeka State Journal to kidnap
T. T. Kelly is erroneous. My one
ambition in 1905 will be to get as much
free advertising as possible, to the
laudable end of advancingthe interests
of Everybody's Magazine and T. w.
Lawson one and inseparable, now
and forever.
DIR. CHADWICK.
Cleveland, O., Jan. 1.-James Cor
don Bennett told me when l started
thatI had better stay in Paris. !
now realize the force of the saying
'fools butt in, where angels get cold
feet" I don't care much what be-
comes of Cassie, but have resolved
to devote the coming year to Earring
loose. Cassie borrowed one thing
that she can pay back, and that's my
name. And I'll bet make her do it.
GOV. vARDAMAN.

port that ] have resolved to use
colored glasses, I stamp as a malici
Gus and vindictive falsehood, and

Tired
Nervous

When you feel languid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tally is low-your supply OF
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the i'm
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with DR..
Miles Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
my wife suffered with nervousness
previous to a recent attack Of typhoid
fever, but after her recovery from the
fever, she was much worse, and could
hardly control herself being exceed
ingly nervous when the least excited.
She was very restless at night, and
never had a good nights rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. DR.. Miles Nervine was recon-
mcnded by a friend. After the first
three doses she had a good nights
rest, and at the end of the first weeks
treatment she was wonderfully i'm
proved. Continued use of Nervine has
completed her entire cure"

The condition of the patient remains I'M
changed. The Stomach, Liver and Bowels
have not been stimulated and in q few
days a stronger purgative may have to be
taken. This is why Pills and Aperient
Waters never give permanent relief.
Their violent action results in an unnat-
ural movement of the bowels and it isnec-
essary to keep taking them indefinitely.

Why ORINO Is different.

ORINo Laxative Fruit syrup is the only
preparation that really acts upon all
of the digestive organs. Other prepar-
ations act upon the lower bowel only and
do not touch the Liver. 1t can very read

OR1No Laxative Fruit Syrup is q new
laxative syrup conf ined with the deli

1T is much more pleasant and effective
than Pills, Tablets and Saline Waters,
as it does not dsrange the Stomach, or
irritate the Kidneys, Liver or Bowels.

Cons tipation.

Explaining the Ghetto.

James Graham Phelps Stokes, who
has chosen to devote his life and a
goodly part of his large income to the
uplifting of the East Side poor, and
recently came into the public eye on
account of his engagement to young
East Side Jewess, thinks that in many
respects the character of the district
in which he works is superior to the
so-called fashionable parts of the
city.
"It is a mistake" says Mr.. Stokes,
"to speak of the people of this Sec
ton of the city as of a lower intelli-
gence and humber class. One
finds people of low intelligence else
where than in the misnamed slums,
and there is no less strength of char
acter, no less nobleness of purpose,
no less intellect and intellectual
strength in the so-called Ghetto than
in any other section of this great
city. There is simply this difference
in the Ghetto: a smaller proportion
have opportunities for self-develop-
ment."

We Paid 100000

For the American rights to Liquo-
zone, and the rights in other coun-
tries have sold for proportionate
sums. We mention this fact to indi-
cate the value of Liquozone-the
value to you. Men have never before
paid such a price for any discovery
used in the cure of sickness.
We need not tell you that we prov
ed Liquozone we'll before buying it.
For years it was tested through ply
sicians and hospitals, in this coun-
try and others. 1t was employed in
every stage of every germ disease; in
all the most difficult cases obtaina-
BILE. With thousands of sick ones,
considered incurable, we proved that
it did what medicine could not do.
Then, and then only, did we pay the
price.
Since then we have spent nearly
100000 to make Liquozone known.
We have bought the first bottle and
given it free to every sick one we
learned Of These people told others,
and the others told others. The re-
suit is that Liquozone is now more
widely employed than any medicine
ever was. And no one can doubt
that it is doing more for sick human
ity than all the drugs in use COM
bined.
