WHEN OLD SOL MENAcEs US.

When Old Sol sends a heat wave across the country and the people of half a dozen cities fan themselves in the shade at 100 degrees he is a men ace to our peace if not of our safety.
 How many more degrees of heat do you suppose humanity could stand? Twenty degrees more would make us feel like a lobster in the pot when the water is reaching the boiling point; and 90 more degrees would burn the earth barren of all life.
 It is queer, that when the sun is farthest away it gives the most in tense heat; and when nearest to us we get a temperature of 45 or 40 de- grees below zero.
 When Gen. Humidity and Old Sol make it too hot for us, it is kind of Boreas to commence a drive with the east or north wind and knock the temperature down fifteen or twenty degrees. The balances of nature seem to be nicely adjusted, and to operate for the weII-being of all life upon this planet.
 Let us hope we shall experience nothing worse this year than the heat wave we have just experienced; and that we may now have good weather enough to cure for harvest the hay crop.

A Straiuht Issue.

The republican platform declares: The Underwood tariff is a complete failure in every respect" That raises a direct issue that permits of no quib- bling over definitions. If the demo- Crats think 1t is not a complete failure, let them come on with their Speciflca- tiOns showing wherein it has succeeded. It proposed to reduce the cost of liv- ing, and it failed in that. It proposed to raise revenue, and it failed in that. In what respect did it accomplish anything the American people wanted accomplished? - Wilmington (DeI.) Journal.

I am an American, and believe we ought to patronize American made goods. We ought to protect manufactures in this country.

WHY WOMEN
 WRITE LETTERS
To Lydia E. Pinkham Medi-
 cine Co.

Women who are we'll often ask 'tAre the letters which the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Go. are continually publishing, genuine?" "Are they truthful ? !"
 Why do women write such letters :? "
 In answer we say that never have we published a fictitious letter or name. Never, knowingly, have we published an untruthful letter, or one without the full and written consent of the woman who wrote it.
 The reason that thousands of women from all parts of the country write such grateful letters to the Lydia E. Pink ham Medicine Go. is that Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound has brought health and happiness into their lives, once burdened with pain and suffering.
 It has relieved women from some of the worst forms of female ills, from dis placements, inflammation, ulceration, irregularities, nervousness, weakness, stomach troubles and from the blues.
 It is impossible for any woman who i9 we'll and who ESS@S6eN has never suffered SNE/ lsSSSaS\1lfJ to realize how these (U/ SSS SSSA\M poor, suffering Wo- g. 9 \VO men feel when re- YY @ VI II stored to h alth; AA / their keen desire to C \ %S7 jh help other women W\ laSSTzTaag> /N/ they cid.

GermanY IS fra.

Germany is frank enough to say 1t wants peace. But President Poincare of France says Germany must ask and not proffer peace terms. This appears to be bit suited and affected. Eng land is presented as wanting to try out it's new million men army for a drive against the German line. Any such desire is not creditable to the hu- nanity of the English government.
 There must be frankness before peace, and is it not time for all the warning powers frankly to declare their wish for peace and go about to get 1t it?-Torrington Register.

It is believed that General von Hindenburg has the strongest defense along the entire battlefront in the east, and the Germans regard him as one of their very ablest commanders His yieldings as the result of inability to withstand the Russian attack would inevitably shake the confidence of the Germans in the army.

RAILROAD BRINGS BOOM.
Osborne County Land Business Grows;
New Bank at Covert.

Osborne, Kan, March 4.-On &C
count of poor facilities for transporta-
ton in the past farmers from other
sections of the state have fought shy
of Osborne county. Since work has
started on the road of the Salina &
Northern the land business of this
county has taken Il jump. Eight of
the largest farms have been sold re-
Gently, and many more sales are pend
ing.
The town of Covert, in this county,
is also working to secure the new
road and the pledges that will secure
the railway have already been made.
One of the largest land deals made re-
Gently was the sale of a farm by Lay
ton brothers to several Osborne coun-
ty men for nearly $4,000 cash. This
is more than $50 an acre.
AS a result of the railroad boom a
new bank is to open in Covert. In less
than half a day $4,000 was raised by
o. a. Stephenson, of Luray, to finance
the institution.

RAIL ROADS
MAY HIT TOWNS
Roads Intimate s-Hour Day
Will Be Felt by Terminals.
Cost Less to Change Them
Than to Pay Overtime.

Several Kansas towns now boastlng
of terminal facilities are watching
with considerable uneasiness, it is said,
the demands of enginemen and train
men for an eight hour day. The de-
mands of the men are for an eight
hour basic day instead of a ten hour
basic day, with time and a half for
more than eight hours work. To avoid
the time and a half clause, it is gener-
ally believed, the railroads would
shorten the runs making the distances
such that freight crews could cover
them easily in eight hours. This con-
sequently would result in a change in
terminal points.
C. w. Kouns. general manager of the
Santa Fe railway, this morning adj
mitted that in all probability the rail-
roads would have to do something of
the Sort if they are forced to accept
the impending demands. 1t woulo
cost less to change many of the ter
minals than to pay time and half.
he says Mr.. Kouns also admitted
that business men from a number of
Santa Fe terminal towns had sounded
him on the subject.

st. L. & S. f. Intimates That Applica-

New York, March 3.-Bankers
identified with the proposed reorgani-
cation of the st. Louis & San Francisco
railroad will probably reject the plan
of reorganization recently submitted
by the public service commission of
Missouri, it was learned here today,
and it is likely that foreclosure pro-
ceedings will soon be undertaken.
Before taking this step, however, the
reorganization managers may recon-
mend to the shareholders the incor-
poration of new company under the
laws of some state other than Mis-
souri,. 1t is intimated that application
for the charter may be made in Kan
sas or Arkansas, but no definite ac-
ton along these lines is expected for
some time.
