PROVIDENCE WAS INIT.
Fortunate Meeting Surely Brought
About by Hand of Fate.

A farmerish-looking man shared my
seat on the train as I was travelling
through Indiana, and after we had
been talking for couple of hours a
very communicating woman got on at
a station I saw the man look very
hard at her, and directly after she had
taken a seat he rose up and said:
Excuse me, stranger, but 1 think
used to know that woman, and I'll go
over and see her.
He was gone about an hour, and
had forgotten all about him when he
returned to say:
Yes, knew her. Durn my cats if

Latest Kansas Events.
To Curb the Neosho.

In letter to Representative Charles
F. Scott, J. O. Wright, the engineer
in charge of the drainage survey of
the Neosho river, which the depart
ment of agriculture has been conduct
Ing for the last Is months, reports
that the work is now finished and
that he has prepared plan which,
If followed, he believes Will protect
the lowlands lying along this river
from future overflow. While this plan
will be printed and will be ready for
distribution as a government docu-
ment within the next 80 days, Mr..
Wright suggests that he would be
willing to come to Kansas and hold
a series of meetings at points along
the river where he could orally pre-
sent his plan to the people. He be-
lieves that in this way he could make
it more clearly understood and prob
ably contribute to greater zeal and
harmony in any effort that may be
made to carry it into effect.
Mr.. Scott has arranged a series of
meetings for Mr.. Wright to be held
the third week in October. They will
begin in Oswego Monday, October 81.
Meetings will be held in Chanute,
Humboldt, Burlington and Emporia, in
the order named

The Leaxenworth Eair.

Leavenworth had an old-time coun-
ty fair this year, the first one in more
than a quarter of a century. There
have been race meetings and apple
carnivals in the interval, but the last
time county fair was attempted was
in 1881, &c years ago That the regu-
lar county fair, with its live stock,
horticultural and agricultural and 9TH
er exhibits is popular is attested by
the large crowds that attended daily.
The attendance was much greater
than was anticipated by the promoters
of the fair. There were 10000 visitors
one day. The crowd was so large that
it could not be managed by the dep
uty sheriffs and special police, and a
cavalry patrol had to be used to keep
spectators off the race track. No beer
or intoxicating liquor was sold in the
fair grounds Enclosure. This is a
unique experience for a public enter
prise of this nature in Leavenworth,
and the management is receiving ia
vorable commendation for shutting
the Joint keepers out Gambling
was attempted the first two days, but
strong protests abolished this. Gam
blers and joint keepers picked out the
best places heretofore and did as they
pleased. The wisdom of running a
clean fair is attested by the big at
tendance, especially of women and
children.

c. J. (Buffalo) Jones stopped off in
Garden City recently while on his way
to his ranch in the Grand Canyon of
Arizona. The prime business which
takes Mr.. Jones west at this time is
to arrange for the feeding of bunch

er marketed any of the hybrids yet
and he wishes to put them in fine con-
dition before shipping them He is
arranging to bring two car loads of
them to Garden City and feed them
on beet pulp. Mr.. Jones thinks he
can put the catalo in fine shape in
two months and he expects them to
bring a good price on the Kansas City

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperor's interest in
everything that goes on in the world
is well known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to q
Munich newspaper, the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day, chang
ing the list several times week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
well as that of the interior, has to pro-
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperor's perusal.
These he carefully reads. making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

Gas From cottonwoods.

The cottonwood tree which grows in
such abundance in Kansas is a COM
plete gas making plant, according to
recent discovery made by Professor
w. Bushong, one of the assistant pro-
fessors of chemistry at Kansas uni
versity, who recently attempted to
make a trip down the Marals des
Cygnes river in a canoe. In the
heart of the cottonwood tree there is
confined a gas which burns ready,
with a faint, blue flame and which pro-
duces greater degree of heat than
does the ordinary natural gas because
of a larger proportion of free hydro
gen. This feature of the cottonwood
has never before been exploited. 1t
is not a matter of great commercial
value, but it is an Interesting bit of
scientific information

The state tax commissioners have
sent out to every board of county
commissioners in the state letter
which points out that the county COM
missioners shall see to it that, above
everything else, assessors of the strict,
est honesty and integrity are chosen.
and that at all times the most COM
plete harmony must obtain between
them. I'm the plan of assessment,
says the letter, "as now outlined by
the statues, all property, real or per-
sonal, whether owned by individuals,
partnerships, companies, or corpora
lions must hereafter be assessed at
it's actual value in money" 1t is to
the fulfillment of this phase of the
law that the tax commission is now
bending every energy, and from time
to time will send out letters such as
the one just issued. The commission
feels that there must be close coop
Grafton among all parties interested in
the administration of the law.

FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-Cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.

after my granddaughter of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about
fortnight later by a furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size
She suffered great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
of. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our joy, had been entirely
cured, and has been well for a long

HOMEMADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-
PARED BY ANYONE.
IL Said to Promptly Relieve Baekache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant TO Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, as formu-
lated by noted authority, who claims
that he has found positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ment, in the following simple prescrip
ton, if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up if
asked to do SO. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed in rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is a well
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. DR.. Herman

in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that a pure
