CoNCORDIA's BALL TEAM.
Citizens of Town Give Them Royal
Welcome for Victories Won.

Concordia, Kan, June 21.-That the
fans of Concordia appreciate the work
of the ball team is attested by the fact
that on their return from the trip to
Beloit Saturday night, they were met
at the train by over 800 fans and the
Concordia band. From the depot they
were brought to the main square OF
the CITY where a general celebration
was held until midnight.
Sunday the Travellers were given a
big chicken dinner by Mrs. A. Suther-
land, president of the Park club. A
donation of $50 cash was also handed
the team by Park B. Pulsifer, the
leading attorney of this city, for the
victory of the team over Salina, from
whom they took three straight games.
They won two out of three from
ReIoit. The city is wild with enthusi-
assn and expect to take all of the
series from Abilene starting today.

BRIDGE TRUST FOOLED.
The Ottawa County Commissioners to
Build Its Own Bridges.

Manhattan, Kan, June 20.-When
the Ottawa county commissioners met
last week to open bids for four con-
crete bridges they were surprised to
find that there were only three pro-
posals and these practically the same
and very much above cost and rea-
sonable profit. 1t looked like a divi-
sion of territory evidently had been
made by the trust, for over sixty bridge
contractors had been notified and the
work was advertised in five leading
engineering journals.
Highway Engineer Gearhart of the
Agricultural college, who had pre-
pared the plans and specifications and
who had made the estimates, was pres
ent to advise the board and upon his
advice they rejected all the bids and
decided to build one bridge by day
labor, under the supervision OF the
highway engineer. Mr.. Gearhart's es-
innate for the four bridges was
$11,90S, while the lowest bid submit
ted was for $14,S00. This saving to
one county alone will be nearly $4,000
enough to pay the engineers salary
for more than a year.

AFTER FISH DYNANHTERs.
Officers Are on Trail of Offenders In
Marias Des Cygnes River.

Ottawa, Kan, June 21.-County Of
ficers are trying to trail three men
whom they suspect of dynamiting fish
on the river six miles below town. The
offenders, they say, live in Ottawa and
they will soon be able to put charge
at their doors. Dynamiting has been
going on for several weeks, they say.
Mrs. Leona Jones, who lives on the
Marais des Cygnes river near the
mouth of Tauy creek was in the city
yesterday complaining about fish dyna-
hitting that she says has been going
on in the river near her house.
81 was awakened the other night by
an explosion that shook my house,
which is about forty rods from the
river Mrs. Jones said. THAT was the
first time had heard it and 1 believe
that time the dynamite exploded be-
fore it touched the water. The report
was loud. There has been fishing done
at night around my place for years but
this is the first time L have heard
dynamiting there"
Dynamiting fish is one of the very
serious offenses in Kansas. 1t is a
felony and one that has been pretty
well stamped out recently. 1t is pun
ishable by penitentiary sentence.

This effort on the part of Mr.. Cal

result and although the fight might
have been close, yet this monument

WHEAT IN SALINE COUNTY.
Harvest Will Commence This Week
Oats Best Ever Raised.

Salina, Kan, June 21.-Many farm
ers are preparing to begin wheat har-
vest this week. The soft wheat in
many fields will be ripe enough for
the sickle by the middle of this week.
The hard wheat is also beginning to
turn yellow. The hot weather is max
ing the grain ripen very fast. The
wheat is all tall enough to bind, some
of it standing nearly to the shoulders
of an ordinary man.
Some farmers report they have bet
ter wheat this year than for many
seasons past, even those who plowed
up much of their wheat say the grain
left standing is fine crop.
The farmers admit that the county
will have the biggest crop of oats that
has been harvested for years. 1t is
tall, free from weeds and filling in good,
The acreage is probably the largest
ever put out in the county. The har-
vest for oats will come on directly
after the hard wheat is cut.

A Woman's Great Idea

is how to make herself attractive. But,
without health, 1t is hard for her to be
lovely in face, form or temper. A weak,

and a wretched complexion. But Electric
Bitters always prove a godsend to women
who want health, beauty and friends.

FROM A WOMAN
In KANSAS CITY
Who Feels It Her Duty to Tell
Other Women of the Treat
ment That Cured Her and
Her Daughter.

As woman's health is dependent upon
the condition of the blood, every mother,
who fails to regain her strength after
childbirth, should hasten her return to
health and save herself from years of un-
necessary suffering, by giving DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills thorough trial. The
pure, new blood. which the pills make,
strengthens the weakened system until
health is restored.
Mrs. Eta Estes, of No. 333 South
Lawndale street, Kansas City, Mo-, re-
ceived such great help from the use of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills that she feels it
her duty to give them her hearty recon-
mendation.
CATER my baby was born, she says,
81 did not gain in strength as 1 should
have: was generally run down. had
trembling spells SO that / could hardly
though l was going to fall l did not
have any color and kept losing in flesh
until was almost a skeleton. I had
severe headaches and pains in the side,
arms and shoulders. Twas unable to do
my homework.
~ grew worse under the doctors treat
ment and finally gave it up in order to
try DR.. Williams Pink Pills. The pills
helped me Immediately and I becsme
stronger each DAY. was soon able 70 DO
my work and am now in the best of
health. have since given Dr. Williams
Pink Pills to my daughter for poor blood
and severe pains in the side. After a
short trial she was restored to health.
am convinced that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills will do all that is claimed for them
and advise any woman who is suffering
as I did, to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills
at once and not wait another day"
AS most of the diseases from which wo-
men suffer are directly caused by lack
of blood, DIR. Williams Pink Pills have
been found unequalled in the treatment
of aneemia, green sickness, delayed de-
velopment, leucorrhea and all Irregular
ties arising from impure or watery blood
and weak nerves.
Every mother should have our booklets,
''Plain Talks to Women" and "Care OF
the Baby" which will be sent free upon
postal card request.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or will be sent, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box; six
boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Williams

WOMEN MAKING MONEY, TOO.
Wives of Jewell County Husbands Do
ing Well in Produce Business.

Il
Mankato, Kan, June 21.-The farm
ers of Jewell county are not the only
working people who are making money
out of grains, stock and alfalfa, but
the women are meeting their husbands
half way in raising poultry and cows
and marketing the eggs, poultry and
butter The firm of Metz Brothers of
Mankato, dealers in produce of this
kind, paid out in the months of March,
April and May for eggs, butter, butter
fat and poultry the sum of $11, $1,000.
This represents 1892 cases of eggs at
cost of $99,127; 22,O44 pounds OF
butter aggregating $4,161.33; 30,4 83
pounds Of butter fat, $7,5S6, and 1896
pounds of poultry at a cost of $996.19.
1t is said this firm is doing more to
advance the interests of the poultry
and dairy industry than any other en-
terprise in Jewell county. In other
words, this firm alone paid out in
three months time to their patrons
alone for butter, poultry and eggs
more than $1,000 day.

BOY BITTEN BY GOAT.
Result Is Anvil budding May Have

ottawa, Kan. June 21.-It is feared
that Anvil budding, who was bitten by

Very Eneouraainn.

Conditions for the Republicans in
this state. while never dangerous to
the election of the ticket, have not
been as good rs could have ben de-
sired for tho large majorides tina,
should be given. but there are most
hopeful signs that eevry impediment
to immense majorities will soon be
removed, 1t is announced that within
the next few days the Democratic
committee will publish an address to
the citizens of the state. This is
all Republicans will need. It is most
certain to solidify every element in
the party.
Democratic speeches and addresses
are just what tie Republicans do not
like. Whatever they may be, they are
Democratic, and 1t Is because the
voters do not like Democracy that
they are Republicans. Besides the
Democrats have always possessed an
especial aptitude for stating Demo
cratic principles in very distastefuI
way to the Republicans.
AS soon MS that address Is published
We may feel certain that Republi
cans will. MS they should, stop fight
ing among themselves and go to fight
ing the Democrats. II will most Ger
tainly BIO agreeable to the Republicans
for this Democratic address to BIZ
published as soon rs possible.-Par
