company which pays rebates in any
form, OF any shipper who accepts them.

A Wonderful Discovery.

Broadland, S. Oak, March 2S.-Quite a
sensation has been created here by the
publication of the story of G. w. Gray,
who after special treatment for three
months was PROSTATE and helpless and
given up to die with Bright's Disease.
Bright's Disease has always been consid-
cred incurable, but evidently from the
story told by Mr.. Gray. there is remedy
which will cure it even in the most ad-
vanced stages. This is what he says:
Il was helpless as little babe. My
wife and l searched everything and read
everything we could find about Bright's
Disease, hoping that / would be able to
find remedy. After many failures my
wife insisted that / should try Dodd's
Kidney Pills. l praise God for the day
when / decided to do so, for this remedy
met every phase Of my case and in a
short time l was able to get out of bed,
and after few weeks treatment / was
a strong, well man. Dodds Kidney Pills
saved my life
A remedy that will cure Bright's Dis
ease will cure any lesser Kidney Disease.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly the
most wonderful discovery which modern
medical research has given to the world.

Agatha's prospective mother-in-law
if she be selfish woman, may be at the
bottom of Toms postponed marriage
Mothers sometimes hate the idea of part
ing with sons, and move heaven and
earth to keep them single. A son who
is fond of his mother, has it may be, not
the manhood to break her bonds. In
proportion as he is good son, he breads
hurting her feelings. If the mother is
very tactful and little unscrupulous, she
may manage her son without his sus-
pecting it. and in one way or another
preserve her ascendancy over him. and
keep that girl waiting an indefinite
time.
To tell the plain truth, Agatha is in a
very delicate and difficult position. She
cannot take the initiative No girl who
respects herself can beg her lover to
name the wedding day. This is his pre-
rogative. not hers. He should beg, and
she grant the favor of an early marriage.
A man should be sure of his own mind,
and purse, before becoming engaged.
Once engaged, he should not be the one to
defer, and defer. and defer the wedding
day. If he does, the young woman may
sever the bond. This is her privilege.
But she cannot plead for change of be-
havior on his part. An unwilling BRIDE
groom would be a shamefully insulting
mate for any woman.

Divide On Main Street.

Thequestion came up in the council
meeting Monday evening whether or
not for the purpose of numbering the
streets the city would be divided on
Main street or whether the numbers
should begin on East street as a
pivot and run from thence west.
In the short time we have had
oiay we have interviewed about TWEEN
ty of our leading business men, and
find them unanimous in favor of di-
viding on Main street, and numbering
both ways from there. 1t seems thus
that would be the better way, as by
giving the number and name of the
street of residence, one would know
whether that person lived in the east
or west end, and how many blocks
from Main. This is by all means the
way to have it done.

your husband meanders off and leaves
you without wood, and you have to
meander up and down the lane pull
ing splinters off the fence to cook
dinner, and when you meander along
till your shoes are the color of rawhide
and your stockings soaked, and when
you meander out across twenty acres
of plowed ground with club to drive
the hogs out of the cornfeld, and tear
your dress on the barb wire fence,
when you ,meander back home to the
house, find that the billy goat has bat
ted the stuffins out of your child, and
find the old hen with forty chickens

your hips and realize that meandering

WHERE DISEASE GERMS BREED.
No Need to Fear Germs if the
Stomach be Healthy.

The ideal breeding place for dis

digestive system. The food, instead of
being assimilated, turns into "a sour,

distress after eating, bloating, nausea
and f1atulency. The poisonous germs
that are given off from this undigested
food enter the blood, and pimPles,

more often from weakened digestion
than from any other one cause.

THElaND OF BLISS.
Some Experiences of Those Who Visited
The 101 Ranch Last Sunday.

After sleeping with ones boots on
two nights and the most of two days,
and getting about seventeen winks of
sleep only during that time one is
not very clear as to all the experience
gone through with during the night
mare; and probably there are some
Experiences it is best to forget.
The Great Bend excursion train for
Bliss left at $3.50 a. IN. Sunday, with
quite bunch on board. At Film
wood about 70 enthusiastic members
of the "White Lilly Club" with the
Ellinwood band and John Wolf, took
possession of their special caT-and
from there on the fun commenced.
The Great Bend train was added to
as it proceeded, and before reaching
Arkansas City we had a string of
sixteen coaches, loaded to the gun
wales, We were due to reach the
!01,ranch about 10 o'clock, but the
crowds going in were so immense
! that all trains were blocked a station
apart, and the Benders did not get
onto the buffalo range until after 3 in
the afternoon, Half of the days
performances were over by that time.
During the rest of the afternoon
there was something doing" however.
The trick riding, broncho busting,
steer roping ETC., were about such as
one will see at any cattle-mens con-
vention OF Wild West show.
A 35 acre enclosure was surrounded
on all fonr sides with seats, and every
| available space was occupied. 1t
was the largest crowd of people we
ever saw. where all were under, the
eye at the same time. The crowd
was estimated at from $4,000 to
$4,000 people; the writer would place
it at $4,000. Twenty six passenger
trains, with about fifteen coaches or
sleepers to the train, hauled the
people in, and there were thousands
who drove in from the nearer towns.
In the crowd there were about 5000
women and children.
The drinking and eating arrange
ments were something detestable.
There was enough to keep people
from starving, but the prices charged
were outrageous. By midnight, Sun
day, they were charging 5 cents for
drink of warm slough water, pumped
from ponds where the cattle and
horses were driven in to drink
None of the 10000 people who
came in on trains got away before
1880 in the evening. The Great
Bend special was loaded at $50 Mon
day morning. aud reached Great Bend
at 1890 p. m.
There was but single track be
tween Arkansas City and Bliss. and
with all the trains that were handled,
going both north and south, over that
track, it is wonder that there were
no wrecks or collisions. There should
have been side tracks put in on the
grounds. :. 1t was shame to keep the
thousands of people waiting on the
open prairie practically all night. 1t
was another shame for the Miller
Bros, of 101 ranch, to have not pro-
vided better for the physical comfort
of the people 1t was a "hold.up"
from start to finish, and will not re-
dound to the credit of the promoters

faction, and costs SIS. 0Oless than

are not in the trust, and are
standing up for his rights and
his benefits.
We also have two Harvester
King headers and binders COM
bined, and one seven foot Queen
binder left.
We merely mention this, so we
can supply those that come in to
see US. Now please do not wait
until the day that you want to
commence cutting, to come in af-
ter a canvass, or extra, or head
er itself. Come now and get
them. We aim to keep extras ON
hand at all times, but it is i'm
possible to keep them the whole
year, as we want to clean up,
and not have a full line at the
end of the season.
We have the genuine Standard
and Sisal Irvine, that we are sell
ing and guaranteeing to 60 fifty
to a hundred feet more per pound
than the ordinary Irvine, at a less
price. Which is the cheapest?
Ask yourself the question.
We are after your trade, and
always have been, but we don't
expect your trade, unless we give
you satisfaction. People have
gotten through with trading
with a merchant for friendship
sake. They want to know that
they are getting the best goods
for the least money, and that is
what we are trying TO give you.
We have the Studebaker, Mo-
line, and Winona and Bettendorf
steel wagons, in wide and narrow
tire. Sometimes these goods go
out, two and four a day. We
aim to keep the stock up in wide
and narrow tire, but for fear we
won't have just what you want,
come early and get one. And
don't forget to get, for yourself
and family to ride in, one of our
Moon or Velie buggies. You will
not be throwing money away
when you get one OF these bug
gies. They are lasting, and safe
to ride in.
If you need sections and rivits,
punches, betting, and canvass,
please get them right off, as we
can accommodate you, and also
with pitchforks, shovels, and
rakes, and above all, that good
cylinder and castor oil that we
have sold for years, and gives
good satisfaction.
You will please your wife, when
you take home that set of chairs,
and table and couch, that she
has been looking for before har-
vest. 1t would be a surprise,
and a pleasure to you and the
whole family, if you would get
that organ or piano that your
SONS and daughters have been
wanting so long, and have really
earned themselves. May we put
one in your house on trial?
