GAVE WRONG INFORMATION.
Missouri Pacific Agent Gave Wrong
Time and Travellers Complain.

Hoisington. Kan. Dec. I'D. A
Weltmer, who was in Hoisington the
other day, says a number of CONNER
cial travellers have prepared bunch
of trouble for the agent at that point.
AS is we'll known in this county the
train between here and Hoisington has
been run at irregular times and there
has been no telling when it would make
the trip.
According to the story the travelling
men approached the agent and asked
when the train would leave for Great
Bend and were informed that it would
be several hours as some of the cars
out on the "Y' had been deraiIed and
they couldn't get clear track for the
Bend train. The travellers claim that
no cars were derailed and that there
is a penalty for giving such infor1na-
ton and that they will take the mat
ter UP with the railroad commission
erS.
They allege that the Missouri Pacific
yards at Hoislngton are too small to
accommodate the usual traffic and the
company is in the habit of using the
"Y" and the main track to Great Bend
as a sidetrack for the storage of cars
and that the train is thereby COMPEL
ed to wait until engines can be spared
to pull the cars out of the way.

Appetite is just a natural desire of the

satiable appetite is a common symptom
OF diabetes.
1t is not what you eat but what YOU

good. Some of the strongest. heaviest
and healthiest persons are moderate
eaters.
There is nothing that will create sick

Making Merry

Good Digestion, Good Cheer, Good
Heart and Stuart's DYSPEPSIA
Tablets.
Do You Use Them? If Not, Whv?

DYSPEPSIA is the skeleton at the
feast: tn deaths head at the festive
board. 1t turns cheer into cheerless-
ness, gaity into gloom and festivity
into farce. It is the ghost in the home,
haunting every room and hitting at
every fireplace. making otherwise mer-
~ people shudder and fear If there
is one disease more than another that
should be promptly attacked and
worsted. it is DYSPEPSIA. 1t is the
very genius of unhappiness, unrest and
i'll nature. In time it will turn the
best man almost into demon of tenn
per and make good woman something
to be dreaded and avoided
1t is estimated that half of ones

ach gone wrong-of Dyspepsia. in short
Foods taken into the stomach and not

state of things becomes general and
directly there is something bad to

so there is for Dyspepsia and one cure

the other. Pasteur found out one and
the F. A. STUART COMPANY the
other, and it is no longer a secret as
it is made public in the wonderful
Tablet, which so many are using and
praising today. One writer says of it:
.Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are little
storehodses OF digestion which mix
with the stomach juices, digest food,
retingle the mucous membrane and its
nerve centers. give to the blood a great
wealth of digestive fluids, promote di-
gestion and stays by the stomach until
all its duties are complete

NO MATCHES FOR PRISONERS.
Oil Lamps VIII Be Substituted by
Warden McClaughry.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 15.-Major
r. w. McClaughry, warden of the
United States penitentiary, has issued
an order prohibiting the issuance of
matches to the prisoners for lighting
their pipes. Hitherto matches had
been issued to the prisoners in their
cells where they smoked after dinner
during the noon hour and at night
after their work was done.
Recently two serious fires have been
narrowly averted by matches dropped
in the buildings by the prisoners. In
fact matches have been scattered
about the yards and buildings in such
proportion as to place the prison in
danger from destruction by fire.
5. AS substitutes for matches oil lamps
have been provided by the warden for
lighting the pipes of the prisoners.

Master Black. who predicts still great
er growth in the nedi future.
The condition OF the order" said he,
'is better than at any time since its
establishment. A larger number of per-
manent Oranges nave been organized
than in any one year for 35 years and
a larger increase of membership made
during the past year than in any year
since 1873.
'"The in':..ence of the organizar on in
public affairs can only be estimated,
that it was never greater than it is to-
day.
Good legislation concerns the farm
ers of Kansas as much as any part Of
our citizenship.
Both the National and State Oranges
have always endeavored to create a
healthy public sentiment in favor of
wholesome legislation, and it stands to
the credit of the Grange, that its in
f1uence has always been for the best
interests of the people"

INDIANS CONSERVE SALMON.

Walla Walla Statesman: The QuIni-
ault Indians deserve praise for the
efficient and far-seeing methods ad-
opted in the management of their
fisheries. They have learned the les
son taught by their white brethren
that if the salmon is to be conserved
the fish must be permitted to go up
stream to the spawning grounds
This year the Quiniaults adopted Il
rule under which they kept a run
way in the stream free from nets,
and many thousands of "blue-badks'
were seen to pass up the stream.
Heretofore the nets have been set
promiscuously and no attempt made
to conserve the fish. But even with
a runway kept open the Indians en-
joyed this year the greatest catch in
the memory of old men of the tribe.
The 10000 salmon caught had a
value of about $45,0O0. and of this
sum $4,000 will go to the heads of 80
families. This is $500 to the family;
a sum sufficient to provide well for
an Indian family a year.

GOOD COWS THE FOUNDATION.
OF SUCCESS.

George A. Smith of Geneva expert
ment station, in his address on "The
Dairy Herd" said: Good cows are
the foundation of success in the dairy
business. Many are buying and
growing good foods and feeding them
to animals that make no profit for
them. Probably if one-half the cows
in our state were killed the farmers
would be better off. On the Geneva
farm only about twenty acres wer.
used for the dairy of twenty-six
cows, The food mostly grown for
them is alfalfa and corn. On about
the same ration one COW made a prof
it of $4970 and one COW loss of
$11.23 One grade Jersey COW made
over 600 pounds of butter from
about 10000 pounds of milk. This
is the result of breeding. This COW
did not transmit to her offspring her
good qualities in calves. The most
money is made with grade cows.
Keep a pure bred sire from a dam
that is a good, strong animal and
large producer This sire can trans
nit the qualities of the dam to its
offspring. You should raise your
own COWS by breeding this sire to
your best cows. Cows must produce
