FRIGHTFUL!

The Kansas City Journal ( Re;
publican) says; Was the 1896
campaign only dream asks
the Lincoln Commoner. 1t was
to a distinguished citizen now
travelling in foreign lands-a most
delightful dream. But the elec,
tion was frightful awakening,
And very large number OF
citizens who followed the de
tenders of national honor they
too have had "frightful awaken
ing" And Mr.. Bry an slept
great deal sounder on election
night than any of the honest
policyholders who voted against
him have done since the truth be-
gan to leak out.-Commoner.

The president is now paying
the penalty of flirting with the
enemy.-Delta Independent.
Possibly that is what you would
call it. 1t may be penalty to
enjoy the love and confidence of
everyone except the corporation
gratters, it may be a penalty to
possess the hate and ill-will of
those who for decades have fat
tened on the peoples distress.
Theodore Roosevelt is IN undis-
puted possession of ali these. 1t
is very pleasing however to some
of US to observe the haste with
which the republican ring sheets
rush into an utterance of antag-
onism to the only good president
the party has given the people
since Lincoln.

those who feel inclined to shot
gun the robins and songbirds
when cherries riPen should credit
them up with the worms and in
sects they destroy during the
times when there are no cherries
to feast upon. Let the birds, ex-
cept sap suckers. enjoy that which
they are busy protecting during
the growing season.-Durango
Democrat.
No word can be spoken for the
robin that may not with equal
force be uttered for the so-called
sap sucker, species of wood
pecker. This little bird far ex-
GELS the robin in his benefit to
trees, as his whole sustenance
comes from their natural enemies.
He lives almost exclusively on
the grubs and worms that make
their home under the protecting
bark Of the trees. In summer he
gathers his food easier as he some
times finds the insects crawling
over the exterior Of the tree, but
he is fine prospector and if one
is Just below the bark he drills a
small hole and abstracts the
tempting morsel and carries it
home to his wife and babies.
Sap-suckers are erroneously So
called. This species never suck
sap or go to it in their prospect
ing. They go just deep enough
to get the worms and grubs. In
nesting they seek rotten tree or
limb and excavate a domicile.
For all the harm the saP-sucker
does he returns value hundred
fold. A thousand prejudices are
made to serve the wish of the
bird destroyer. Even hawks,
marked for destruction by practi
cally everyone, are the farmers
friends. They catch hundred
mice where they kill one chicken.
We doubt very much whether
there is a single bird in existence
that should be wantonly killed,
or one that answers the descrip-
ton of pest. If there is one it
is the English sparrow. and it
only because song birds cannot
long occupy the same territory.
Orchardists above all others
should unite in protecting every
species of wood-pecker.

Another Rebate Scandal.

CONGRESSMAN William r. Hearst appears
TO have served the country good turn, along
with his newspaper, the New York Amer
can, by unearthing great rebate scandal al
fecting the trunk line railroads and the sugar
refining trust. He at least has called the
attention of the United States department
of Justice to facts of alleged lawlessness
which Attorney General Moody regards as
making up a strong case against the roaus
and the trust, and the latter has accordingly
brought the matter TO the attention OF the
federal grand jury at New York and thrown
out drag-net of subpoenas which viii bring
before that body remarkable list OF men
high in the railroad world, as well as others
connected with the American sugar rehning
company.
Mr.. Moody frankly gives the credit OF
starting the proceedings to Mr.. Hearst or his
newspaper. The charges in substance are
that the sugar trust and H, A. Havemeyer,
its creator and manager through a subsidiary
dock company at New York and by various
devices, have been enjoying the benefits OF
rebates of secret rates, at the hands OF va
rious trunk line railroads, to the INJURY OF
competitors of the trust and to the monopoly
advantage of the Havemeyer refining inter
est Chief among the railroads mentioned as
in alleged and long continued violation OF
the law, are the New York Central the Lack
awanna, the Erie, the Pennsylvania, the
Reading and the New Haven.
As an example of how the trust has used
the railroads to promote its monopollstic ag'
grandzement, the case is given OF large
wholesale grocery at Memphis, Tenn whlch
had built up quite business OF roasting
and selling coffee in packages which con-
tanned some little trinket as prize This
lad fba nnfpn branch
the sugar trust; but instead of going to the
expense of providing prizes in its own coffee
packages, or lowering the price, it called
meeting of railroad men, laid the case before
them and succeeded in getting the adoption
of a rule classifying prize-package coffee at
higher freight rate than coffee packages
without prizes.

If you have not already destroyed last weeks copy of The Times, you should lay 1t away carefully for fu- ture reference. Aside from It's very valuable local news and advertising features 1t contained complete and comprehensive returns of the state election, giving the vote in each county for the various candidates for governor, and the official vote for" and against" license, together with the figures on Amendment No. 8, all of which will be frequently referred to and desired in the next two or three years. The Times also published a complete roster of the next general assembly, showing the holdoyer sena- tors and those elected in the late election, together with the counties composing each senatorial district. There were other valuable features, but these, contained in no other paper in this county, should be suili- cient to prove our oiL-repeated aSser- tion that if you want the news and chronicle of all important events you must take The Times. There Is scarcely week that we do not scoop our esteemed contemporaries on much important news, nor week that The Times does not contain more than both of them together. Now is the time to subscribe.

A WAY TO SAVE DOCTORS BILLS.
Physicians Give Free AdvIce By
 Which Parents May Profit.

It's a matter of general interest just now how ones physical condition can be got into shape to best receive the benefits of the summer season. Es- pecially is this true of the children. They have become run down by a winter of unnatural manner of living because of ill considered food and much time spent indoors. Spring comes with it's sunshine, it's fresh vegetables and all else invigorating, but the children are in no condition to receive natures remedies.
 Many parents call in the family physician. Many other parents take advantage of what the physician told them when he was first called in con- sultation. All good family physicians say: Give the children Castoria. " Healthy parents know this remedy of old, for they took it themselves as children. It was more than thirty years ago that Castoria made a place for itself in the household. It bore the signature of Ch9s. II. Fletcher then, as it does today. The signature is its guarantee, which is accepted in thousa nds of homes where there are children
 Much is printed nowadays about big families, Dr. William J. McCrann of Omaha, Nebraska, is the father of one of these much read about fam flies. Here is what he says:
 As the father of thirteen children l certainly ought to know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience have in my years of practice, found Casto- ria popular and efficient remedy in almost every home"
 Charles H. Fletcher has received hundreds of letters from prominent physicians who have the same esteem for Castoria that Dr. McCrann has. Not only-do these physicians say they use Castoria in their own families but they prescribe it for their patients. First of all it is vegetable prepara- tion which assimilates the food and regulates the stomach and bowels. After eating comes sleeping, and Castoria looks out for that too. It all lays feverishness and prevents loss Of sleep, and this absolutely without the use of opium, morphine or other b9ne- ful narcotics.
 Medical journals are reluctant to discuss proprietary medicines. Halls Journal of Health, however, says l"Our duty is to expose danger and record the me3rs for advancing health. The day for poisoning inno- cent children through greed or igno' rance ought to end. To our knowledge Castoria is remedy which produces composure and health by regulating the system, not by stupefying 1t, and our readers are entitled to the infor | nation"

RATE BILL AND THE NEGRO.

With the passage of the Hepburn bill the representatives of tue pee pie took occasion to put themselves on record as opposing any federal in reference with the prevailing Jim Crow laws of the Southern states, says an exchange. Throughout the discussion of this rate measure there have been both insinuatfon and direct assertion to the etfectf that a bill of this kind would carry with it the . abolition of all state provisions sepa- , rating che races while traAfling. ! Apprehension from this source caused the. language of the bill to be :. altered more. than once, but in its 5. finished shape it. merely suggested a non-interftrence with these statutes without dealing with them in posi- tive manner. Representative South . wick, of New. York saw or thought he'saw, an indecision in this matter. He therefore offered the following resolution:
 No railroad, subject to the pro- vision of this act, shall be allowed to discriminate in accommodations and otherwise between persons on account of their rece, color or previous condi- tion of seryitude."
 The answer to this resolution was l43 to II against it's adoption.
 A deca 1e ago and this resolution would have been carried with a whoop But the negro is in the north now to a very good effect. He has simply by his presence and his con- duct among northerners and eastern CTS, convinced the more obseryant whites of those sections that the south understands and practices the best methods of handling the race question. It is true the negrophile still exists up there, and is as rabldly impractical and yenomous in his sug- gestionS and assertions as Of yore, but his day of influencing the opinion of enlightened northern communities on this subject is rapidly passing.
 The vote in the house not only in dicates that it is all up with the negro question agitators, but Is one of the most encouraging events look ing to the future benefit of the negro which has occurred in years.
 It means that the whites of the country are getting closer toge thel i'll their own views upon the subject, and it is certain that when they are not divided among themselves they can readily reach conclusions aDout the negro which, in the end, Will pe 9t to his betterment. He has been, as u were, between the upper and nethef millstones of Caucasian disagreement Unity of opinion, therefore, among the whites, will permit Of his escape from this position, where, II ne l. made to continue, his only fate must be found in the grinding process ol extermination.
