JOHN LILLE.

John Lille, one of the real pio-
neer settlers of Kansas and Bar
ton county, died at his home near
Pawnee Rock last Friday evening
following an attack of paralysis
which he had suffered few dayS
previously.
MIR. Lille was a native of Illinois,
being born in that state December
II, 1882, and at the time of his
death was aged 81 years, 8
months and % days. On Novem-
ber 9th, 1860, he was united in
marriage to Miss Eviline Duff. and
to this union eight children were
born, two of whom preceded the
father to that other shore. The re-
naming children, Mrs. E. w.
Smith, Mrs. S. E. Gilbert, Albert
Lille, and w. H. and Harry Lille,
of Pawnee Rock, and Mrs. George
GanO, of Hutchinson, together
with the aged wife, are left to
mourn his death. With his fam
lily, Mr.. Lille came to Barton coun-
ty in 1872 and located on a claim
just northwest of Dundee, and
has been resident of this county
ever since that time.
John Lille was a man well
known to all of the early settlers
OF this community and as a man
who was loved and respected by
all of his acquaintance. He was
a man absolutely honest in every
way and one who was not only al
all times willing but glad to ac-
cOmmodate a friend or neighbor
in every way possible. He was one
OF those men who have the happy
faculty of always looking unOn
the bright side of life, and his
kindly happiness and cheer had
helped to make the way less hard
for many of those who with him
endured the hardShipS inSident to
the pioneer settlers of this COM
munity. A loving husband and
father, a true friend to all who
knew him, a citizen who had done
his full share towards the up
uilding of the community, he was
a man whose death will be univer /.
sally mourned by all his acquain-
tanceS. He was a member of the
Methodist church and the funeral
services, conducted by Rev. R. E.
KeyeS. were held at the home Sun
day afternoon and interment
made in the cemetery at Pawnee
Rock, and the universal love and
esteem in which he was held by
all who knew him was eloquently
atteSted to by the large number
who attended to pay their last
mark of respect to the dead.

No honest Progressive will deny
that President Wilson is the most
progressive president ever in the
White House. And when admit
ting that fact, they cannot, with
reason or consistency, support at
the polls men for the positions of
United States Senator or Congress
men who refused, for purely par
tiSan reasons, to stand by PreSi-
dent Wilson in his advocacy of
reform and progressive measures.
Arthur Capper should, through
his numerous publications which
he has turned into purely Capper-
fOr-Governor organs, designate
when, where, and under what cir
cumStanceS did Governor Hodges
promise the people TO reduce
I taxes" in Kansas. We heard the
Governor speak many times dur
ing the campaign two years ago,
and at no time did he make his
hearers any such promise. He
did promise TO cut down the ex-
penSeS of running the state; to
cut out tie frilIS and GUl-de-rolS
of Republican mismanagement,
and designated where he would dc
the cutting; and he has made that
promise good. He has not only
paid off the legacy of debt which
his Republican predecessors in
office left behind them, but has
spent more money for educational
purposes than any former COVER
nor, and without increasing taxa
tion. Had the Republicans moi
left those unpaid billS-the un-
completed buildings and state en-
terpriSeS; had they not miS-ap-
propriated state funds and jug:
glied accounts to continue the
state indebtedness until a Demo
cratic governor was elected to
Straighten out the balance sheet

SAYS SULPHUR
 DRIVES ECZEMA
 FROM THE SKIN
Use like cold cream to instant ly stop itching and clear
 the skin.

Sulphur, says a renowned dermatol- ogist, just common bold-SuIphur made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption The moment it is ap- piled all itching ceases and after two or three applications the Eczema dis appears, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-sulphur cream and apply it to the irritated parts the same as you would any cold cream.
 For many years common bold-sul- phur has occupied secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutaneous affections by reason of it's parasite destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also anti pruritic, antiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and inflamma- tory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting a permanent cure it never fails to instantly sub due the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin.-- Adv.

 T do not consider an inspector nec-l essary when coal is bought from re- liable firms in Bridgeport. They give. full weight free from dirt and if an inspector Is employed 1t makes the price of coal too high, out of town firms may bid on the coal. but I think the contracts will be placed with Bridgeport concern

Isolation Hospital
 Not Open for Patients

Despite the fact that the board of apportionment allowed s72o for a nurse at the Isolation hospital, there is no nurse there nor is there prepara- patients.
 Last Sunday. Mildred Cook. aged [ years. walked into the emergency hos pital and said she WAS i'll. pr. CurIey after an examination found her suf- fering from diphtheria and he injected the child home. The child had been playing with other children and ex- posed them to contagion from the dis ease. If there had been n nurse at the Isolation hospital pr. Cur1ey would have ordered the child sent there. Last month there were eight deaths in Bridgeport from measles and much criticism of the board of hea4thz has resulted because the Isolation hospital is not prepared to receive patients.

Lawyers were criticised severely by Chief Justice Prentice of the Supreme court today when the highest tribunal convened in this city. After Rev. Walter L. Bennett of the West End Congregational church had opened court with prayer it was found that little business was ready for the court New Haven county lawyers were on hand to offer various excuses why they could not go on with arguments.
 Chief Justice Prentice remarked that the lawyers knew when the court would convene here and they ought to be prepared. He declared it was very discouraging for the court to come to this city and find no business ready The lawyers ought to be more considerate of the court, he said A few cases were finally assigned and arguments on New Haven county mat ters began
