.Workmen who were excavat-
ing for an addition to the Selig
building, Lawrence, Kan, came
across several packages of de-
composed papers and the rusted
remains of an. old printing press
last week.
This is the spot on which the
Herald of Freedom newspaper
Office, owned by John Brown,
stood, and was destroyed by the
order of the United States mar
shall in 1856.
The office and its contents were
entirely demolished, and the
ground on which it stood had
not been disturbed in half a CEN
tury. Many pieces of the old
press and charred bits of decayed
paper were carried away by citi-
zens.

of Wheeling, w. Va, at the New

ttAtthe source of the Potomac

ton county, w. Va, and High

of {, 900 acres of land which has
passed through as remarkable a

of. -Four years ago the land,

meath it aud valuable timber
above it, was sold for s6, 900. The
next day it sold for $4,000. For=
mer Senator Henry g Davis wan
ted it but kept waiting until he
had to pay $40, 900 for it. Here
tanned the iron deposits and sold
the timber four months later for
$75, 900. The people who bought
the timber from him sold it again
in about year for $175,OOO.
Three weeks ago this was again
sold for 100000. Counting the
iron, there is no telling what the
entire land is worth. If Senator
Davis had kept the timber until
now, he would have made more
than $500,O00. more. And this
story is only an indication of the
opportunities in the State, which
has more coal than Pennsylvania
and Ohio and Virginia combin-

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ILL
treated their stomachs by hasty eating
holic beverages, or by too close contne-
ment to home, Office or factory, and In
consequence the stomach must be treated
in natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles In
many such people, in fact in every weary,
thin and thin blooded person, do their
work with great difficulty. As result
fatigue comes early, Is extreme and lasts
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
health every tissue, bone, nerve and
muscle should take from the blood GER
tain materials and return to 1t certain
stomach for the work Of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,
rich, red blood. We must go to Nature
for the remedy. There were certain
roots known TO the Indians Of this
country before the advent of the whites
which later came TO the knowledge of
the settlers and which are now growing
rapidly In professional favor for the cure
Of obstinate stomach and liver troubles.
These are found to be safe and yet GER
tain in their cleansing and invigorating
effect upon the stomach, liver and blood.
These are: Golden Seal root, Queens
root, Stone root, Bloodr0ot, Mandrake
root. Then there Is Black Cherry bark.
The medicinal principles residing in these
native roots when extracted with glyc-
crime as 3 solvent make the most reliable
and efficient stomach tonic and liver in
vigorator, when combined in just the
right proportions, as in DIR. Pieree's
Golden Medical Discovery. Where there
is bankrupt vitality such as nervous
exhaustion, bad nutrition-and thin
blood, the body acquires vigor and the
nerves, blood and all the tissues feel the
favorable effect Of this Sovereign remedy.
Although some physicians have been
aware of the high medicinal value of the
above mentioned plants, yet few have
used pure glycerine as q solvent and
usually the doctors prescriptions called
for the ingredients in varying amounts,
lDith alcohol.
The "Golden Medical Discovery" is q
scientific preparation compounded Of the
glyceric extracts of the above mentioned
alcohol or harmful habit-forming drugs.

WHICH. DID
SHE PREFER.

When she entered the car it
was easy to see that she was very
angry. Her chin was high in the
air and her lip was set in a rigid
line. The car was crowded and
every seat was occupied, SO she
pushed her way up front with a
determination that gave further
evidence of her vexation.
She reached the front end of
the car just as a tail, good look
ing man rose, aud lifting his hat,
asked in a pleasant voice, Won't
you have this seat?''
"No Iwont," she snapped. The
young man was surprised, but sat
down without speaking.
For about FIVE minutes she
rode along hanging to the straps.
Then this car gave a sudden jolt
and she was thrown unceremon-
iously into the young mans lap.
She blushed a vivid red and
struggling to rise was almost on
her feet when another lurch
threw her back again:
