The startling discovery was made just
before the expulsion of the water COM
mission that the boilers at the city
pumping station were fed with water
piped from the creek nearby-the city
could not use its own water This was
the last straw on the camePs back
and the new administration took inn
mediate steps. They are now taking
further steps for the complete better
ment of the new system.
There are a number of industries
ready to enter this city as soon as the
water supply is remedied. Harrington is
on the main line of the Missouri Pacific
and is a big division point on the Rock
Island-the largest freight division in
the west. The shipping facilities are
excellent-in fact they cannot be ex-
celled by any other city in the state
with the exception of Topeka Herring
ton has grown from a city with a pop
ulation of 5000 to one of 5000 in the
last three years.

HOW A DENVER
MAN CURED HIS
RHEUMATISM
Nothing Helped Him Until He
Tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, Then a Permanent
Cure Resulted.

When the general health is broken
down, II conditions are favorable for
the disease, rheumatism is very liable
to develop. Without these conditions
of low vitality and weakened resist
ance nature will protect the body
against the disease.
In the development of rheumatism
marked feature is the thinning of
the blood caused by the breaking
down of the blood cells.
The best treatment for rheumatism
is rest and what doctors call sup
porting treatment" that is, to restore
and retain a high level of general
health Then nature cures the dis
casa
With these facts in view it is easily
seen how Dr. Williams Pink Pills
prevent and cure rheumatism. They
tone up the blood and nerves and
maintain the general health. Taken
after rheumatism has developed they
begin at once to rebuild the blood, to
restore its broken down and
that is to directly combat the disease.
External applications will never cure
rheumatism because the disease is in
the blood and must be fought there.
In the convalescent stage the pills
are also useful as they lessen the af-
ter effects which are often more
harmful in lasting injury than the dis
ease itself.
A recently reported cure by this
treatment is that of Mr.. o. N Jones,
of No. 3410 West Thirty-first avenue,
Denver, Colo. 81 was very much run
down from overwork," he says, fand
rheumatism developed. I had steady
pains across the back and at times
would get so stiff that I could hardly
straighten out. Sometimes the pains
would extend down the sciatic nerves
of the limbs then again there would
be shooting pains through other parts
of my body.
ST kept losing flesh. and could not
get a good nights rest. My stomach
was in bad condition and I had no de-
sire to eat. All the medicine I took
was of little account until I tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills. I had but little
faith in their doing me any good but
after taking one box I felt much
better that sent for more. They alb
solutely cured me and although my
work of mining engineer takes me in
the damp and wet a great deal I have
never had the rheumatis since
The fact that DIR. Williams Pink
Pills will cure rheumatism is so well
established that it is difficult to I'M
derstand how any sufferer can afford
to neglect the remedy. These pills are
absolutely safe and harmless. They
nerves and cure rheumatism in the
only way that it can be cured to stay
cured.

DEBT It is really a continuation of
the old Stubbs-Leland fight of a year
ago. The factions are still hanging
by thier old parties and the feeling
has spread into city affairs.
The eradicating of the water COM
mission of Harrington was caused d.
rectly by the present condition of the
water system in this city. Last year
this city spent over $4,000 in the con-
Struction of a new water system with
big modern pumping station, new
water mains and a water tower. AT
the present time the whole system is
only useful for fire protection. The
water is so hard that it can not be
featuring concerns have found it
necessary to rely upon their old meth
DDS of procuring water from the creek
running through the city. The fire
pressure is magnificent, however, the
firemen being able to throw water 100
feet in the air.
The new mayor and his councilmen
elected at the late city election belong
to the old Stubs supporters or the
square Dealers. The old water COM
mission was composed entirely of men
from the machine" Thus the fight
and the result. The city council
simply repealed the ordinance which
controlled the water commission and
the commission fell by the wayside.
Although at the present time the city
is using the old hard water supply ac-
tive preparations are being made for q
new series of wells. It is expected that
these new wells will be in use in g
very short time. They will be dug just
east of the city where a fine artesian
flow has been found. This will give
Herington one of the finest water sys-
TENS in Kansas. The new pumps and
mains are of the very latest pattern
ard make. They include all of the
modern methods of good up to date
water supply.

Herington, Kan, May 21.-At the
last meeting of the city council of
Harrington the water commission, COM
posed of B. C. Crary, C. H. Randall
and James Trip, was cancelled from
the city list of officials and the water
and light committee of the city coun-
Gil was given the duties of the COM
mission. This is the end of a big fight
which has been going on for some
time between the two political parties
of the city-one claiming that the
other was ignorant of the laws of the
city and the other claiming that their
opponents were running the city into

FARMER HAD PLENTY OF WHEAT
Held 1t for $1.40 But Sold 500 Bushels
of No. 2 Hard for $1.31.

Manhattan, Kan, May 21.-Alden
F. Huse has sold 500 bushels of No.
hard wheat to the Manhattan Mill
ing company for $1.31 a bushel. That
anyone in the county had this much
wheat in one lot will be "a genuine sur
prise to grain men, as it was generally
believed that there wasn't eight hum
bred bushels of wheat in the whole
county. This price equals, but does
not surpass the top price established
by Fielding & Sons, who, early in the
Patten campaign, paid $1.31 for 500
bushels of scant No. wheat Mr..
Huse has been holding his wheat for
S1.4O, but apparently has given up
hopes of it's reaching that figure.

MINERS BURNED BY GAS.
Explosion Followed Entrance of Man
Into Shaft

Pittsburg, Kan, May 21.-Charles
Chaffett was probably fatally burned
and George Tuewelli was seriously in
jured and may also die from an ex-
plosion of gas in No. 10 shaft of the
Weir Coal company, one mile north
of Dunkirk camp.
The explosion happened about s
o'clock in the main west entry but
shortly after the men had gone down
to work.
It is supposed that the gas had col
Iected during the night or early in the
morning and was ignited by the lamps.

NICHOLS MAY REMAIN AT HEAD
X. S. A. C. Regents Unsuccessful in
Search for $4,000 Man.

Manhattan. Kan, May 21.-The
committee of the board of regents of
the Agricultural college who went on
their third hunting trip last April to
look for new president of the insti-
tuition have returned with no better
results than they had in their other
hunting trips. Regent Arthur Capper
says that it is probable that E. r.
Nichols will continue to be the presi-
dent for another year at least.
1t is becoming more evident that
while the committee had three or
four men whom they looked upon
favorably for the place, yet they fail
ed for some reason or another to land
a man, although a salary ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year was to
be paid providing the right man could
be found which so far has been
impoSSibility.
