Live Men Make a Live Town.

There is no disputing the fac
that it takes a live, public-spirited
set of business men to make live
town. When the local merchants
Systematically pull for business
you invariably have a live town.
But all must pull and pull per-
sistently and Systematically.
There are always a few business
men in every town who take a
free ride. The fewer the tight
wads" the better the town. Of
ten a few business men in town
are relied upon to pull the custom
to the town by far-reaching and
well-planned advertising. The
trade naturally 'sIops over" and
every business in the town is
thereby benefted-but some are
Sinking their share of the load.
some have not their shoulder to
the wheel.
No town is doing its best until
the individual business firms use
every effort and opportunity to
etxend the trade limits of the
town, bringing a larger circle of
people within its trading SCOPE. =

Kansas Cement State.
While talking about Kansas and
her prOductiveness do not forget
that this state is producing the
greater part of the cement used in
the United States. The large
Portland cement plant at lola,
Kansas, is turning out 5000 bar
rels daily and another plant
1900. Other towns are engaged
in the industry and within a year
the safe will be supplying 10000
barrels per day. The demand is
so great that lola is not promising
to fill new orders under one year.

KANSAS and PROSPERITY.
Five New Railroads Chartered DURING
Past Six Months.

That Kansas is prosperous, and is
attracting eastern capital as well as
a safe place for home investments, is
demonstrated by the activity in prep
arations for railroad building. Most
Of these proposed railroads, five of
which have been chartered during

the west half of the state.
An article on this subject in the
Topeka Capital of the 3rd says:
One feature noticeable in The filing
Of railroad charters is that they tend
to make railroad centers of two
points in central and western Kansas,
Salina and Great Bend. Three of
the lines recently chartered touch
Great Bend, and three touch Salina.
The Saline, Upton & Northern is

through Rush, Russell, and Ellis
counties into Hays, thence north
through Rocks county to a point on
the Oakley branch of the Union
Pacific in Graham county.

FOR BETTER WHEAT CULTURE.
The State Agricultural College Will
Send Out a Train Of Instructors.

Topeka, Kans., Aug. 3.-The
train sent out by the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad COM
pany, containing lecturers and
demonstrators from the State
Agricultural College at Manhat-
tan, will be for the purpose of
giving Kansas farmers instruc-
lions on the subject of better
wheat. The experts with the
train will be Prof. Miller, Prof.
Willard, Prof. Ten Eycke, Prof.
Brown and Prof. ,Shoesmith.
For a long time it has been the
practice of many Kansas farmer
to sell most of their good wheat
and use the poorest for seed.
One of the main purposes of this
train and the work of the lecturers
will be to teach the farmers that
they can profit by sowing the best
wheat. 1t is estimated that the
use of only the best wheat for
seed will increase the yield of
Kansas wheat from 3 to 5 million
bushels a year.
This train will be in Barton
county towns as follows: On

CAUSES OF HAY fever.
Hyomei the Only Relief Gives Change
Of Climate In Your Own Home.

With the coming of August
many people suffer with storms of
sneezing, running of the eyes and
nose and a stuffed up feeling in
the head.
The direct cause of this So
called hay fever appears to be
heat, dust and the pollen of
flowers. Although the disease
may occur at any season of the
year, it is most common and
severe in August and September.
and a preventive treatment should
be adopted at least couple of
weeks before the disease is due.
Before the discovery of the re-
markable effects from the use of
Hyomei, the only relief for the
hay fever sufferer was in change
of climate, but the use of Hyomei
enables any one to breathe air at
home which is like that of the
Adirondacks, the White Moutians
or other health resorts where
healing balsams fill the air with
germ destroyers.
Those who are subject to hay
fever should begin using Hyomei
at once and prevent the disease,
or if the disease is present now,
breathe Hyomei six or seven
times daily and also rub Hyomei
Balm thoroughly into the nose
both morning and night. This
will relieve at once and give
a permanent and speedy cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit
costs only Sl.OO, extra bottles 50
cents. Hooper Drug Co. offer to
refund the money if Hyomei does
not do all that is claimed for it.

Germany Prepares For War.

BERLIN, Jan. 1.-The railway admin
istration placed orders last week for 90
600 freight cars, at a cost of $50,0OO,O0O,
with manufacturers of five countries,
STIMULATING delivery by the middle of
February, besides utilizing the car
works of Germany. These contracts
were distributed among makers in Bel
GUM, Holland, Switzerland and Italy,
which would not have been done unless
some reasons for haste existed. In
quiries made regarding the reasons for
urgency resulted in obtaining the state
ment that the ordering of the cars was
a precautionary measure, the general
staff desiring to be ready to move
troops, if, necessary, by the LIST of
March. This is only a proper measure
of prudence, it is affirmed, in view OF
the extensive military reaIrangements
going on in France, which, among other
dispositions. include the movement to-
ward the German frontier of six regi-
ments of artillery, or 100 guns.

TRAGEDY IN
N { " HAVEN.
Edwards MysteriOus1y Shot
ReIative's HOme-.New York
: Broker Found Dying.

KEW HAVEN, Conn. Jan. 4.-With
h bullet hole behind the left ear, which
extended through the head, Charles A.
Edwards of 800 Park ayenue, New
York, was found IN his bed at the nome
of his brother-in-law, Charles ii. Hitler,
! here between s and 0 o'clock in the
morning by Mr.. Hitler.
Mr.. Edwards was alive when found,
hut unconscious, and died shortly after
aphysician arrived.
The case looks like a murder, and a
very mysterious one. Mr.. Edwards had
come from New York to attend the
birthday celebration of Mrs. Harris, a
sister of ex-President Dwight of Yale,
and had been the guest of his brother
in-law overnight. He retired about IL
O'Clock, and when Mr.. Hitler went to
his room he found him unconscious.
Thinking it apoplexy, he called DR.. Met
calf and on returning to the house dis
covered the bullet wound in the head.
No weapon could be found nor n
other piece of evidence that would lead
to a solution of the case.
His business affairs as well as his
home life were of the best and there
fore further discredit any supposition
OF suicide.
The police say that there has been a
murder. They found that h Il
had not been broken into forcibly, but
an unbolted kitchen door, which the
house servants claimed was securely
fastened during the night, gave a pos
sible clew that some n had passed
out of the house by that means.
The %coroner's inquest in he case
was finished shortly before II O'Clock,
but no arrests were made. Charles A.
Hitler and A. MaXey Hitler were the
only witnesses.
Mr.. Edwards was about sixty years
old and Il descendant of Jonathan Ed
wards, one of the early presidents of
Yale, and was related to many families
of distinguished ancestry. He was grad
uated from Yale in the academic class
of 1866 and was an extremely popular
member of the class. Charley Edwards,
as he was known throughout Yale in
those days, was one of the fathers of
baseball at that college.
