It is just such a preparation as every mother should be provided with and always keep a supply iu the house for colds, croup or whooping cough, it can always be depended upon and is prompt and effectual.

Some one has.flgured out that life is like harness because it contains "traces" of care, ''lines" of trouble, "bits" of good fortune, "breeches" of good manners and "bridled" tongues and every one has a "tug" to pull through a severe cold unless they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

Smith, was ushered into the presence of a host of ladies, which was. embarrassing beyond expression to one so unaccustomed to ladies' society; after a few moments deliberation however, I assumed control of my faculties sufficient to know that we were there to eat, and a more bountiful dinner never was served. I feel very sure that all present will always thank Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt for the entertainment they received on the.

occasion. Those present were, Mrs. Barber. Shana-felt, Mkk, Harrod, Alusworth, Edith Alnsworth, Clarence J. Smith and one other.

His subjects are legions, they dwell in all tanus, To his will submissive they Sow. His throne is not threatened by dynamite Danus, No crown ever covered his brow. The sun never sets on his domains, They reach from land to sea, And long as earth a King retains, He will rule the bond and free. Courts and senates bow at his sway, Conventions are ruled by his will, The rich and poor his mandates obey. And meekly his missions fulfill.

Modern republics bow at his throne, His power embraces them all. The weak would be strong left alone, At his will they rise or they fall. No Roman ever rivaled this king, His power the greatest may fear, But ever his subjects will sing, Long live this potentate dear. Then let it be know a king rules the world, The prince, the statesman and scholur, His throne is firm fixed, 'his banner unfurled. This king is, the almighty dollar.

Pawed in Council, February 15th, 1886. Approved, February 18th, 1H6. G. W. Gullet.

Attertt Mayor, CHAS. City Clerk. ance lecturer aud worker died at his homo in New York on Friday, February 19th. Ills early life was a checkered one. Leaving his home in England when a little boy, ho landed in New York without a cent of money, but a stronir con stitution and willing heart and haudd.

Ho soon obtained employment and in two or three years saved enough to send (or his mother and sister, and all might have gone well with him but for the evil associations he formed at that time. Be ginning moderately as most boys do, it was but a short time till he became a confirmed inebriate and drunken sot. This he kept up with occasional reforma tions for years, when he finally reformed entirely and has ever since been not only the most noted, but the most successful temperanco worker the world has ever known. One of the many things the Kansas City papers are noted for is their ability to get things eutirely "wrong. In the account of the shooting of Mr.

Sevvell R. Allen, by policeman Kano, the Times stated that Allen was known as a tough character with no occupation. We know this statement to be absolutely false. Mr. Allen was an industrious, hardwork- ng man, and has been employed by the Santa Fe Co.

as transfer conductor between Argentine and Kansas City for the last year. As to the circumstances of his death we do not know, and while the officer may have been justifiable, the chances are that' he was entirely too hasty. Of one thing we are certain, and that is, the Times may couslder itself fortunate if the friends of Allen do not bring a suit for slander which they justly deserve. Cedar Junction. Mrs.

Dan Johnson is very low with in flammatory rheumatism. Mr. Gibbs, one of the earlier residents of the Junction put in an appearance to-day. Harry Randall is on the grunty list. Some of the boys think it is an over dose of cupid.

George Webber has his. new. house nearly Inclosed. The building will be nn ornament to that part of town. On Saturday evening last, the Junc tion was enlivened by a darkey minstrel show.

Their performance was very creditable and laughable. The G. A. R. Post at DeSoto, gave a bull at Abbott's hail on the night of the 22d.

We have not learned the result but presume it was satisfactory. The Evans boys shipped two more cars of corn last week, and still have three more to ship. The Kaw bottom is still groaning under last year's corn crop. A dispatch came to Willie Bradshaw from Missouri on Wednesday evening, stating that Elmer Cohee, a young man who used to be in his employ was dying, Fiye families of Dunkards shipped from here on Thursday last for Rice county. Their former residence was about, halt way between here and Olathe Johnson county loses twenty-seven souls James Jones (colored) was buried on Tuesday last.

His illness was of short duration. He leaves a helpless family. a wife and six small children. He was a hard working, honest man and exemplary citizen. Mr.

0., Mr. O. go slow, Yon man without a toe, Or by the Jumping jo, You'Jl lose another toe, so say tbo boys around the Junction, and they speak it without compunction. So Mr. 0.

look a leedle oud dere. George Spaulding of Topeka, well known along the Santa Fe line as a form er attache of the water service, weighed four hundred pounds one day last week, in consequence of drawing from nature's lottery a prize of a splendid ten pound boy. Here's our George. On Saturday last Wm. Bradshaw came home from Missouri where he has been employed for some time, aud on the evening of that day was taken suddenly with a severe chill which resulted iu a malarial fever of a most malignant type, and at this writing, Wednesday, the case shows no favorable features.

Mr. Mrs, Bradshaw of this place cele brated their tin wedding Feb. 17th. It was one of the pleasantest affairs we have at tended for many a day. All seemed to have met for the purpose of enjoyment, and they carried out the programme to the letter.

The presents were many and chosen with an eye to usefulness. Those present were, Mrs. H. W. Rhea, Queen Rhea, Nina Rhea, Mrs.

Dr. Ilittle, Amy Kuchenthal, Misses McClain, Allie Chad-wick, Rose Kuchenthal, Minnie Light- burn, Laura Chadwlck, Meda Rhea, Messrs. Wirt and Oscar French and Polk Ellis. Turner Items. Mrs.

Gerhart was here this week on business. Wm. Hadcock of Olathe, is visiting M. E. Barber.

Mrs. Woodeu of Cedar Junction Is visiting ber mother, the latter Is very poorly. Trof. Maxwell and family of Wyan dotte, spent Sunday here with their folks. J.

J. Swingley and Miss Edith Ains worth took In the military ball at Otta wa the 22d. We have been informed that John Webb Is about to sell ten acres of his land for 1, 000. Our depot has received some repairs; the Santa Fe Co. is at all times wide awake to the Interests of their patrons.

J. PIKE, EDITOR AND MANAGER. Washington Territory Is also seeking ndmlssiou to tbo Union, but the chances are that she won't get iu this trip. It is estimated that there will be laid in the United States this year twelve hundred thousand tons of steel rails, of which Kansas will use a large proportion. This doesn't seem to be a healthy season for senators.

No less than six of the most prominent men in the U. S. Senate are so sick as to be unable to attend to their duties. Within the short space of four months six prominent and influential citizens of the United States have died, viz: Grant, McClollan, Hendricks, Seymour, Hancock and John B. Gough.

It is said that a Pittsburg firm has established an agency in Liverpool for the importation of laborers who will work at lower wages than the workingmen of this country demand. A high tariff on Imported laborers 6ecms to be one of the crying needs of the times. Leavenworth Times. A Kentucky paper wants to have a Normal school established to Instruct members of the how to do their work. Leavenworth Times.

This Is a good idea. We need one in Kansas too. And while we are at it, let us establish one for congressmen, and see if we can't train them so we will get less talk and more solid work. When an ambitious lawyer gets into a breach-of-promise, divorce er scandalous case, how he does spread himself in the closing arguments! Talking to him about economizing time and words on such a magnificent occasion for splurge would be as big a joke as calling to a Kansas cyclone or a Dakota blizzard to dry up." Leavenworth Times. The emigration from other states to Kansas bids fair to be larger this year than ever before.

On last Monday one hundred people left the town of Richmond, Indiana, with the intention of becoming actual settlers in Kansas. The population of the sunflower State bids fair to be augmented fully one nun dred thousand during the year 18S6. The bill now before congress authotiz ing post masters at any post office to issue postal notes is a good one, and should pass by all means. The only real objection people bave to silver currency is that it is very inconvenient to transmit small amounts through the mails. If every post office in the country could issue postal notes as the bill provides, It would be a great convenience to the general public.

The man in Michigan who asks Presi dent Cleveland to become godfather to his little baby boy i3 evidently a wor shipper of great men. But he should have sense enough to make sure of his great men in this instance. The ques tion of Grover Cleveland's greatness will not be definitely decided until the end of his term of office. A lucky man iu politics Is not always a great man in history. Leavenworth Times.

While the Mormon saints are being captured and incarcerated in dungeons vile when not let out on bail the mis sionaries of faith are still proselyting throughout the land. But this is not as bad as it looks. The country has no quarrel with Mormonism; its disciples have a perfect right to their own form of religious" belief. It is polygamy that is denounced, and this mutt and will be stopped. Leavenworth Times.

The Kausas legislature has at last adjourned and the people can breath easier lor aimoRt another year. As we pre dicted in the start, this extra session has cost the people thousands of dollars and there is nothing to show for it. About the only bills passed aside from a local nature, are appropriations for every thing they could think of, the apportionment bill and a bill compelling railroad companies to operate abandoned lines. The best railroad legislation they could give us would be a bill abolishing the railroad commissioners, and then abandon the whole legislature for the next ten years, Horizontal Bill Morrison, after two or three months of hard labor has brought forth another tariff measure which he hopes to get through congress this winter, but we fear lie will have no better success this year than last. This tariff business is a good deal like the silver question.

There is too much In clination among politicians to become famous by advocating some sweeping change in something that the people are really well enough satisfied with as it is There may come a time when it will be necpfsary to make a change In tariff regulations, but we do not apprehend It will be lor several years yet, J. 0.
