CanceIllnQ Machine.

The post Office has received a
stamp cancelling machine and will
have it set up in operation in a
day or two. 1t will enable the
Office to handle the mails in faster
time and save considerable W ork.
Probably the only hardship il
will work will be on We ndel
Strong who has beer doing the
stamping act with the old hand
stamp, and can now play several
tunes on the stamp with great
feeling. Wendell plays Turkey

The HEALTHY STOMACH.
I'VE Never Know We Have a Stomach
Unless Something Is Wrong With L."

When you begin to realize that
you have a stomach it means that
this organ is not in good condition,
and it is reminding you Of the fact.
DO not feel discouraged and mis-.
erab'e-because Of the presence of in.
digestion. 1t is the best thing in the
world for you if you can only see it
and give the stomach proper treat
ment.
Change the weak stomach to a
healthy one by using Mi.o-na omach
tablets. This remedy is not mere
digestive, giving only temporary re.
lief, but a combination of remedies
that actually strengthen the stomach,
excite the secretion Of gastric juice S
and enable the digestive organs TO
care for food you eat in a natural,
normal way.
By taking Mi o ma tablet before
each meal you can enjoy a good din
ner without distress and suffering
and you will never know that you
have a stomach.
Hooper Drug Co. have sold a good
many Soc boxes Of Mi o.na stomach
tablets and the more the Tened, is
used, the more friends it has, for ev-
cry box gives satisfaction. It's sold
under an absolute guarantee that
the money will be refunded should
Mi-ona fail to give satisfaction
Hooper Drug Co. take all tie ri>k.
and the remedy will cost you nothing
unless it cures.

Surprised The Boys.

The boys on the south side re-
ceived quite a shock Saturday
morning. when informed that
William Hiss had returned from
Chicago that morning, with a
bride. 1t seemed to take them
entirely by surprise. and from the
mutterings that were going on
among the jolly south side crowd.
We expect something has or will
happen at the Hiss home pretty
shortly. 1t was not exactly fair
for William to get off by himself
and do things that way.

A Man Lost.

There was a little kind of a
scare up at the Missouri Pacific
depot in this city Saturday night
when the train returned from
HolsingtOn. A man had got on
the train at Hoisington. and hav.
ing little more of the juice that
makes men foolish in his anatomy
than was good for him. he refused
all threats and pleadings to max G
him get inside the car. but stood
on the platform. When the train
reached here be was missing.
The train crew took the engine
and went back up the road to loos
for him. They found him lying
along the track a short distance
north of the Walnut creek bridge,
and brought him to town. DR..
Connect was called, but the man
would not allow him to make a
very thorough examination, and
got ur and walked out of the doc.
tors Office. He returned to
HOisingtOn the next morning.
Except for few bruises he was
apparently as good as ever.

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK BODIES,
Kidney Diseases Cause Half The Com,
mon Aches and Ills Of Humanity.

As one weak link weakens a chain,
so weak kidneys weaken the whole
body and hasten the final breaking.
down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys, and when
their activity is lessened the whole
body suffers from the excess Of uric
poison circulated in the blood.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills come, and there is an
ever increasing tendency towards dia.
betes and fatal Bright's disease.
There is no real help for the sufferer
except kidney help.
Doan's Kidney Pills act directly
on the kidneys and cure every kidney
I'll. The cures are the proof.
W. A. Tracy, printer, living at 1l2a
julie street, St. Joseph, Mo-, says:
"For eight or ten years suffered at
times severely with pain in my back,
and although | used doctors prescrip.
tons and various advertised rene.
