The M. 0. G. Road.
A Few More Chapters, but the
Last One is Not Yet Written.

CHAPTER 10. Miami has signed
up the contract for the road, and
it now looks as if we will be able
to neighbor with Miami after
all. This will no doubt be pleas
ing news to our big bellied
friend, Mr.. Coons, who is the
owner, editor and foreman OF
the Miami Live Wire. Coons
has been considerably in the air
for some time on this PROPOSE
tion, but he can now come down.
CHAPTER IL. The News man
met Mr.. Walters of the Kenefck
road in Kansas City last week.
He was accompanied by ]. Frank
lin Smith, the live wire man of
Miami (excuse us, Mr.. Coons)
and were told that Miami had
made the rifle and would get
the road. This statement was
made by J. Franklin.
CHAPTER II. The city council
last night passed on the petition
for a bond election, and ordered
the election for Tuesday, April 2.
Inasmuch as nearly every quail
fed voter has signed pledge to
vote for the proposition it will of
course carry. The call will be
found in this paper.

speaking of in Kansas City or
Topeka, and a week ago last
Sunday those sections had a
stow storm which blocked tratic
while this section had nothing
but a rain and sleet. And on
last Saturday the northern coun-
try had another big storm, when
we had only a slight one, COM
paratively speaking. 1t is be-
iieved, and with good reason,
that big floods will follow the
breaking up of winter, for It is
hardly likely the ground can
take the CONCEALED moisture
which is now living on top Of It.
Il must run of, and in the run

worth mentioning, the weather
has been all that could be de-
sired from a cold winter stand
point. And the snow fall has
been very heavy, and the SHOWS
have come right along one right
after the other, until now the
ground has more moisture in it
than at any time since the win
ter of 1894-1S95, when a six-inch
sleet laid on the ground four or
five weeks, and was followed by
a big snow. North the weather
is particularly severe, and the
snow fall has been much heavier
than down here. Feb. 20 when
this section of country had q big
snow there was none worth

The farmer is going to be late
with his work this year, and his
acreage of oats is going to be
small, owing to the fact that he
will not have time to put in very
many and at the same time get
his corn ground ready for plant
ing. But after all, we suppose
he will have a little longer crop
season than the eastern and
northern farmers.

Your Money Back if You are not
Satisfied with the Medicine
We Recommend.

We are so positive that our
remedy will permanently relieve
constipation, no matter how
chronic it may be, that we offer
to furnish the medicine at our
expense should it fail to produce
satisfactory results.
It is worse than useless to at
tempt to cure constipation with
cathartic drugs. Laxatives or
cathartics do much harm. They
cause a reaction, irritate, and
weaken the bowels and tend to
make constipation more chronic.
Besides their use becomes habit
that is dangerous.
Constipation is caused by a
weakness of the nerves and mus
cles of the large intes tine or des'
cending colon. To expect per
manent relief you must therefore
tone up and strengthen these or
gans and restore them to health
ier activity.
We want you to try Rexall Or
derlies on our recommendation.
They are exceedingly pleasant
to take, being eaten like candy,
and are ideal for children, deli
cate persons, and old folks, as
we'll as for the robust. They
act directly on the nerves and
muscles of the bowels. They ap-
parently have a neutral action on
other associate organs or glands.
They do not purge, cause exces'
sive looseness, nor create any IN
convenience whatever. They
NAV be taken at any time, day or
night. They will positively re-
lieve chronic or habitual consti-
patton, if not of surgical variety,
and the myriads of associate or
dependent chronic ailments, il
taken with regularity for a rea'
sonable length of time. II tab

The Russian Ambassador and Nine

under their own rooftree. With the In

and goods still unpacked, this residence
will be one Of the best appointed In

Although the German Embassy win be
established al Newport in July, its chief
will no; preside thereat, as the Ambas-

pose sailing for Europe early in the
summer, a sign in diplomatic circles that
no imperial German visitors may be ex-
pected TO grace American shores, not
withstanding the press reports TO the
contrary. The difficulties attending the
visit OF Prince Henry OF Prussia are still
too fresh in the diplomatic mind OF Ber-
lin and of Washington for the Kaiser or
his representative In America to wish
for a repetition OF that experience.

from Austria-Hungary. who Is keeping
bachelor hall in his Connecticut avenue
embassy, is a much in demand dinner
guest, many OF the smartest companies
