The newspaper that takes a whisky advertisement is doing all it can to help violate the laws of Kansas. Aside from that, it is teaching the young men and boys of this state the lesson of disregard for law. The innocent youth who reads the Post-Register wonders why it is that a newspaper, that wonderful agent for the advancement and education of the people, should advertise a business that by law is prohibited in the the state. Of Teachers Meeting To Be Held at Greenleaf, Kansas, December 14. 1901.

And here Mr- Humes was not exactly accurate, for he had but one hand, the other having been contributed to the gluttinous appetite of a buzz-saw. "At last," he continued, "I came home from a long ride, tired, hungry and disgusted, I told my wife to hunt up a map of the United States; that we were going to move! I instantly selected Seattle as our destination. I didn't know anything about Seattle, but it was the farthest town from Kansas that I could find." K. C. Journal.

Osteopathy recognizes in man a most perfect, and to a certain extent, self-recuperating' machine; which, with every part in its proper position and relation with every other part, will run smoothly and perfectly, and that after replacement of parts displaced by accident, drawn out of place by contractures due to colds, lagrippe or other forces incident to it3 surroundings," a restoration of function and health will result.

Osteopathy is a regulator that regulates, sets right, and puts in running order, that excellent machine, the human body. It is capable of curing acute as well as chronic diseases. It straightens the crooked spine; it give9 life to the paralyzed limb9, it regulates the palpitating heart? it gives life to the torpid liver; and, by regulating a healthy blood supply, drives out disease and restores health once more to the human body.

A. Kbyte. Twalne's Double a Former Kansan. Tom J. Humes, the present mayor of Seattle, several terms judge of the superior court, twice a candidate for governor and once a candidate for senator, 1 is a formerly Kansas man.

Recently the New York Commercial exploited him as the double of Mark Twain, and, indeed, he does look wonderfully like the great American humorist. Once Twain went to Seattle to deliver a lecture, and when he walked about the streets he didn't attract much attention, for the people simply mistook him for Tom Humes dressed in a new suit of clothes. The Commercial says- that In a Bad Muddle. It must be a strain on the nerve of any man to get so badly tangled up that he can not tell what political party he will belong to the next campaign, but such is the fate of Gomer Da vies of Concordia. Davies used to be a Republican, one of the positive, agg.

essive kind, but when he saw an opportunity to get out of the small town of Republic City and move to a larger one and run a county seat paper he turned against the Republicans and has been against them ever since. He run for office, state senator, in 1898, on a fusion ticket and was defeated in both Cloud and Republic counties. He then published that he was done witk the Populist party and in the future would be a Democrat. He was a Democrat in 1900 and his party went down to defeat. He now sees trouble ahead for the Democrats, he fears that the Hill, Gorman and Cleveland wing of Democracy will succeed in capturing the national convention, leaving Bryan and free silver out in the cold.

His advice now to the Populist party, the party he long ago abandoned is, to go slow, not get into the Democratic band-wagon just yet, for the wagon may be driven by the Tammany leaders. Why Not Be Fair? The prohibition people held a grand blow-out Sunday, and indulged in the usual amount of intemperate language. We understand one preacher classed all who. either sold liquor or drank it as anarchists and said they were no better then the murderer of President McKin-ley. Palladium.

We have often noticed that the fellows who never go to a temperance meeting and hear what is said are ready to make a report of the speeches and get them so garbled and misconstrued that the speaker himself could not recognize them. It is not the accurate reports that these critics aim to give, but it is the misconstruction given to them that does the harm. No speeches were made at the meeting referred to that need make any man wish he had not spoken. The certain preacher referred to did not refer to the drinking class at all in relation to anarchy. He referred to the class of fellows who were persistent in trampling the constitution and laws of Kansas in the dust, and asked if it was Plans for a magnificent nw passenger s'-ation in Chicago have been approved by the officials of the Chicago, Rock Island Pacific Railway and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railway.

Work will be commenced at once on the new building, which will be located on the site of the present Rock Island depot. It is expected that the new building will be ready for occupancy by January 1st, 1903. The old station is being vacated and will be turned over to the contractors within the next thirty days to be torn down. The new station will cost in the neighborhood of and will be used jointly by the Rock Island, the Lake Shore and the Nickle Plate Raliways. The new station will be the largest and most convenient in Chicago, likewise one of the largest in the United States.

It cover one whole block, occupying the entire space between Van Buren and Harrison and Pacific and Sherman streets. The building will Le eight stories in height and constructed of dressed granite to the third floor, the upper portion to be of vitrified brick with stone trimmings, harmonizing in color with the granite. Pieces of statuary and appropriate figures and designs will be used for decorating at different points. The building will front north, occupying, the full frontage on Van Buren street and located about fifteen feet back of the property line. It will extend back to the south 157 feet.

Beyond this will be built the concourse connecting the main building with the train-shed. The trainshed will be 580 feet in length, extending to Harrison street and will span the entire width of the blocks Beyond the trainshed extending south will be ample umbrella sheds, capable of serving the longest trains.

Senator Harris should know enough not run for all of the offices in sight in Kansas, and perhaps he realizes the sit uation as well as any one, and will be contented to be defeated for the senate and quit. 'not in the same spirit that the anarchist shot President McKinley. The anarchist did not shoot Wm. McKinley, he said, because he had any personal feeling towards him as a man, it was because he was the chosen head of the government representing statutory laws. It was the law the anarchist was trying to.

kill. The jointist is persistent in killing the laws of Kansas, he violates the law because he has no regards for it, because he hates it. Webster gives a definition of an anarchist as follows: "One who advo Reaping The Whirlwind. 1 For years Junction City has followed the open policy in regard to saloons and town has not only invited the of the soldier, but the citizens, in every manner that they knew, have tempted him to spend his money with them. Heedless of results, they, have extended to him an invitation to come town and partake of its hospitality.

The invitation was accepted, but when the man became intoxicated, officers of the law have clubbed him over the head for doing that very thing which he had been invited to do. Surely there must be something wrong in the condition of affairs when a soldier, either drunk or sober, deliberately shoots down twq officers. Bitter indeed must have been that man's thoughts when, in the' guard nouse and awakened to the horror of his cates anarchy, or aims at the overthrow The First Snow.

Nearly every farm in the county has a wheat field on it this winter, something not known before in the history of the county. of civil eovernment." Webster defines anarchy as follows: "Absence of govern ment, the state of society where there is lice captain slapped him on the back and exclaimed: "Hello, judge, have you been away?" Twain resented the familiarity and later the.

police captain, who in the meantime had ascertained Twain's identity, remarked: 'They say he is a humorist; but by gee, he isn't; the look he gave me would freeze ice!" y. Vj When in Kansas Humes lived Jn Washington county and practiced at the bar. In 187G and again in 1878 he was a member of the legislature. In 1880 he packed Lis lares and penates and removed to Washington Territory, where the writer of this knew him well. He found no primrose path to fortune, in the far west.

For several years he sat in a diDgy office, nursing the stub of his left arm, and waiting for clients who seldom came. But in the end' he got to the front, as most Kansas men do, and now is one of the prominent characters of the state in which he makes his home. Humes tells a story of the manner in which he came to leave Kansas, which is not exactly complimentary to that state. He says he was half-starving at the practice of law and that to make any sort of a living he had to travel long distances and take very small fees. "Many times," he says, "I arrived home from a i long journey, half -starved and with the no law or supreme power, a state of lawlessness, political confusion;" For a week or more, or since Tom Correll sold his 'bus line and trunk transfer business to Smith Oren, he has been negotiating for the Washington House, or better known as the Nims Hotel.

Monday of this week the deal was closed up and the transfer made. Wm. Nims owned the house and for many years was proprietor of it. It was at first, many years ago, a much smaller but Mr. Nims saw the necessity for more room, so about ten years ago he began to build the new hotel walls around the old house, so he did not disturb the old house till the new one was nearly completed, some five years after it tvas started.

It is now a large three story brick, conveniently located and doing a good business. Mr. Nims tired of the hotel business about two years ago and leased the house to N. Thayer, who has been running it ever since and has a lease 'till April 1903. The price paid for the property was $6,500.

Mr. Correll may get possession of the house before April 1903, for Mr. Thayer says he will look around and try to find another house. We trust Mr. Correll will succeed in running a hotel, and believe he will, for he has an extensive acquaintance with all of the traveling men who visit this offices, -information bureau, dining room etc.

The elevators and a large staircase at the south end furnish convenient means of ascent to the waiting rooms and train level on the second floor. A very important point and one which will be appreciated by all, is the elevation of the Rock Isiand and Lake Shore tracks entering Chicago For a distance of eight miles out, the tracks are elevated above the street and railway crossings, which avoids delays in entering the city and reduces to a minimum A man does not necessarily have to shoot the president of the United States to become an anarchist. He can do it by disregarding the laws of his state and striking a death blow at the constitution. This country has lost one president at the hands of an anarchist, while nearly one hundred thousand persons deed, he chose the means which ended his life. The 1 death, of three men is to are slaughtered each year in the United be credited against the city.

Soldiers are tough men, but some way the sympathies of a large number of people go out to the man, who, robbed of his the liability of accidents. These tracks enter the second floor of the depotand States by the class of men who despise are on a level with the. elevated line. It Glad to Exchange Again.
