newspaper has enlisted support of
number of well known Kansans. One
of the strange things about the lobby
which the Kansas City newspaper has
maintained in Topeka is the fact that
it is almost the exact personnel of the
men who a few years ago declared the
legislature should not be disturbed in
its deliberations and that outside in
fluences should not be brought to bear
to affect legislation.
Cheap john Literature.
Not only has the Kansas City news
paper sought to direct the adoption of
its own program, but it has taken
chips in all general legislation. The
other day a house committee reported
adversely on a bill which would give
some state money to John Brown me-
mortal park. Forthwith the Missouri
newspaper with a burning desire for
Kansas reform listed the men who OPP
posed the measure under the caption
of Cheap Johns"
Members of both the house and sem
ate have complained concerning the
activities and unfair methods or the
Kansas City newspaper in forcing leg
islation in Kansas. 1t has been freely
asserted that if legislators wanted to
be right they would support the
Missouri newspapers legislative pro-
gram and ask no questions. If they
opposed the program, it was made
plain that the Missouri newspaper
would blacklist such members. In
backing up this program. the Missouri
newspaper has enlisted the support of
a dozen men we'll known in Kansas
who in former years have argued that
the lobby should stay at home. Over
the heads of the Kansans, the Kansas
City newspaper will seek to club thru
the legislature its program for the city
manager plan, municipal home rule
and q constitutional convention.

Oriuin of the DahIia.

By a curious irony the dahlia flower.
popular at the flower shows, is of very
humble origin. 1t has been developed
from a Mexican tuber. Some centu.
ry and half ago this plant was in.
troduced into Europe by the Swedish
botanist, DR.. Dahl, for the purely COM
mercial purpose Of supplanting or sup
plementing the potato. But they did
not prove popular, and the dahlia dish
soon disappeared from the dinner ia
bles Of Europe, but the gardeners saw
the latent possibilities of the. flower.
from which they have evolved the dou
BILE dahlia and other popular floral fan
cies. 1t would thus appear that the
dahlia had reversed the fate of the red
clover, which was originally introduced
as a garden flower, but was found to
be much more desirable as a fine for
age The tubers of the dahlia, though
bitter, are still eaten in some parts of
France

There Is more Catarrh in this secti

There IS more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
q great many yesrs doctors pronounced
it local disease, and prescribed local
remedies; and by continually failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven catarrh
TO be constitutional disease, and, there
fore requires constitutional treatment.

F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo. o., is the
only constitutional cure on the market.

Fate Is Treacherous.

Fate is treacherOus and soonest be-
trays those who depend most upon it.
1t helps only those determined to help
themselves by acting out their de-
sires. Luck, too, is faithless and
laughs at the man who too strongly
puts his trust in it. 1t generously
spreads a golden glow upon the
achievements of the man who rows
as he prays, but for the man who
does not strive it has only mockery.-

Experience the Best Teacher

It is generally admitted that expert
ence is the best teacher, but should we
not make use of the experience of 9th
ers as we'll as our own? The experience
of thousand persons is more to be de-
pended npon than that of one individ-
ual. Many thousands of persons have
used Chamberlain Cough Remedy for
coughs and colds with the best results,
which shows it to be a thoroughly re-
liable preparation for those diseases.
Try it. 1t is prompt and effectual and
pleasant to take.

Fort Atkinson.

Ralph Halliday of Milton and five
other young people from that village
miraculously escaped serious injury on
Sunday afternoon when at the M. G..
Vosburg farm on the GAINESVILLE road,
their Ford car skidded and turned over
twice. Young Halliday had his collar
bone broken, one of the girl occupants
of the car was rendered unconscious
and hurt internally and another young
fellow received a badly bruised hip.
Aside from a few slight scratches and
bruises the other occupants of the car
were unhurt.

Edward ("Bud'D Jones, youngest
son of Mrs Charlotte w. Jones, 416
Jones Ave, was quite badly wounded
at Lake Koshkonong early Sunday
morning when his Winchester shotgun
was accidentally discharged, the charge
entering his right arm little above
the wrist, blowing upward through the
flesh and coming out just below the ell
bow. The young lad with the follow
ing companions, Urban Schreiner, Arm
old Kuemmin and Edward Geisel, had
returned from Mud Lake where they
were hunting ducks. The accident oc-
CARED just as the party were landing.
Probably young Jones picked his gun
up by the barrel and pulled it towards
him, the trigger catching on the boat
and discharging the gun.

The demand for whole milk for con-
densing has been so active and prices
so high that the butter making indus
try lags in all sections. Under these
circumstances the Milton Cooperative
creamery closed it's doors Saturday
night, Sept. Is, for temporary per-
iod at least. At special meeting this
action was authorized and power was
given the board of directors to dispose
of the plant at their discretion. This
action may not mean the final closing
of the creamery, however, for newt
ably the butter price and the whole
milk price is bound to balance. There
seems to be no apparent move toward
building condensary here this fall and
the prospects along these lines are
still indefinite.

A canary's ears are at the back Of

frost Tuesday night came as a more
severe damage to the crops, although
Liberty Prairie was much more fortu-

the Sunday night frost did little dam

1st, Rev. Borge has had vacation.

has installed electric lights in the par
sonage. But the members wanted to
do more than show their love of their

the work in charge and met with good
success, collecting the sum of $3.50.

honate animals and are usually gratd-

possible, an animal should be broken
to mind without fear Of punishment.
In breaking dogs to handle stock 1t II
a great advantage to have stock that
Is used to being driven by q dog, upon
which to break the puppy. Stock that
Is not used to a dog is often easily
frightened, or 1t may fight the dog. II
is an excellent plan to have an older
and well-broken dog to assist in the
training, as dogs are initiative. The
puppy quickly learns what is wanted
by association with the older dog. In
training dogs avoid shouting. 1t Is as
easy to teach them to mind a single
word or whistle, and much more sat-
isfactory, and remember that much
more can be accomplished by kind
ness than harshness.
