IIJ EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS. It is almost impossible to pick up a Kansas paper these days without finding an item to the effect that taxes are being paid up unusually well. This should serve as a pointer to those papers in the east that are fond of telling their readers of the failures of crops in Kansas this year. Lawrence Journal. Judge L.

D. Bailey, of Garden City, takes great interest in Jerusalem corn. He considers it the western homesteader's best friend, and says it i not affected by drouth or hot and that it goes farther for all purposes than our native com. In appearance, it resembles some-thine; midwav between rice and small kernels cf corn, and is said to make excellent bread. A crop planted in May will ripen in July, or if planted in July will ripen in September.

Industrialist. Some two weeks ago W. M. Blake, of Pilot Knob township, traded 1G0 acres of land in Kingman countv for 400 acres in Barry county, and last week he went to see his Mo. land and look up the title, when lo and behold he discovered that he had been defrauded, the title given hira on the land being of no earthly value.

Upon arriving at home he immediately went to Hutchinson in search of the man with whom he had traded, but whether or not he succeeded in finding him we have not learned. It is our opinion, however, that W. M. has been the victim of misplaced confidence. Alliance Bulletin.

The farmer, practically, has nothing to do with setting the price he receives for his products, or what he pays for what he bnys. A price is put on every hoof, every grain, on everything he produces; and when he buys he finds himself confionted with the same state of affairs. He takes what is offered, and pays what is asked, and can't help himself. That the farmer has a right, just as good a right, to place a price upon the fruits of his labor as has the manufacturer, the merchant, the professional man or any one, none will deny; but that he does not do po, is a fact. There is something wrong in this state of affairs, and it should be speedily remedied.

Conway Springs Star. Mr. J. M. F.

Andrews and daughter Nellie, of Corwin, passed through the city last evening for Kansas City, where Miss Nellie goes to fill an engagement at one of the museums as the heaviest girl for her age in the country, weighing at present over 500 pounds and only 18 years old. Mr. Andrews stated that up to her fourth year she was about the average weight for children of that age, after which time she began to pick up fiesh rapidly, at 14 years weighing near 400 pounds. In spite of this immense weight Miss Nellie is as spry as can be, and has been for some time in the postoffice at Corwin, her mother being postmistress. Thus, as all things, Kansas is always in the lead.

Wichita Eagle. Manson Carter, met. with quite a serious accident last Tuesday evening. He was going home on horse back and when he reached the corner in front of Wenger's coal store the horse stumbled and fell, throwing him under its body. Before he could get out of the horse's way it stepped on the back of his head.

He was rendered unconscious and was finally picked up by some persons passing. Dr. Winbigler was called and dressed the wound. He says the skull is slightly crushed. Mr.

Carter is resting easy at his home now and it is thought that he will be able to get out in a short time. The accident might have been much more serious and he had a lucky escape. Harper Graphic. From Anthony Republican. 1 T.

B. F. Cary and II. P. Long, grain buyers, of Freeport, were in the city Monday, transacting business with Croft Forbes, the millers.

It is generally thought that the men who rescued lreton mast have had help from the inside of the jail, as the putty had been taken from the window with "a care and precision that would have been impossible in a hastily executed job. Sheriff Harris received a telegram Monday from Guthrie, notifying him that had been seen in that neighborhood, and it is now thought that he will be easily captured. From Attica Advocate. 1 Owing to the scarcity and hign price of corn the majority of our farmers have been compelled to din-. pese of their hogs at unremunerative prices, and ahso to let their stock hogs go.

A. Mathews grain received 253 bushels of castor beans from Medicine Lodge, 126 bushels from Argonia and 4S bushels from Anthony, which, added to SOO bushels raised in the vicinity of Attica, foots up 727 bushels in all, duritg the peason. They have shipped the lot this week to the Coulter White Lead Oil St. Louis. Th price received on board the car was $1.00 per bnshil.

THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY During the coming montha will be the best of all Kansas publications, as the new features which will bv introduced each week will it necessary publication to every resident of the state. Commencing December 1st, it will contain each week a pictorial description of some county seat town in the state, until all are represented and the collection is complete; after which every city whose population is 1,500 or over, will be illnstratrd. In every case the entire length of tha main Etreet of the city will be shown on the center inside double pages, together with the portraits of the county officers. The portraits of the mayor and city council, and anr other matter of interest to our readers will occupy about four papes more of each The remainder of the paper, as heretofore, will contain the choicest of humorous and illustrated matter which will equal to that published by any paper in the land. The portraits of the state ofHcers-the senate, the legislature, our rep resentatives in congress, our post, master and letter carriers, the police commissioners and metropolitan police of every city in the state, as well as every person or matter of public interest, will be a few of the features enjoyed by our regular readers.

The Illustrated Weekly is the only paper in the Mate capable of executing such work as this, and the only paper in the country willing to do it, and when these matters are presented in addition to everything found in eastern publications, which are eagerly bought everywhere, there is every reason why the loyal people of Kansas should subscribe for paper in the West," and they will.

The patent has now expired by limitation, and the formula can be given to the public without let or hindrance. Salt petre, 2 Indigo, 2 ounces. Copperas, 3 ounces. Cayenne pepper, 2 ounces. Allspice, 2 ounces.

Sulphur, 3 ounces. Spanish Brown, 3 ounces. Turpentine, 3 ounces. Black Antimony, 2 ounces. Oil of Sassafras, 2 ounces.

24 ounces in all. DIRECTIONS FOX VKIXC. After thoroughly mixing the ingredients, cover tightly to prevent the escape of strength, and for every 10 adult hogs affected by the disease, give a tablespoonful in a bucket of rich slop, and for pigs in proportion to size. For hogs too sick to drink slop, drench with bottle, using 1-3 level teaspoonful to full grown hogs in a little water, and for pigs in proportion to size. For drenching, take a stick of wood one foot long, and thrust crosswise through the mouth, after turning the hog on his back, and drench.

Separate the sick from the well, so as to be able to give thesick better attention, and on no account allow any kind of drink but that which has medieine in it. This applies to those not too sick to drink of their own accord. As a preventive and (and I challenge the world for its equal) use a tablespoon level full for every barrel of slop; however, one-half that much is sufficient, unless the disease is very bail in your locality. Follow these directions closely and you must succeed. If the druggist pulverizes and prepares it for you, insist that it is well done.

Preserve this paper for further operation, or better, copy on strong paper and put away in a safe place. One prescription costs but 05 or 70 cents and will carry a car load of hogs through safely in ordinary time, and double that amount will take them through during a scourge. Many hog raisers (some of whom make a specialty -of fine hogs) in central Indiana declare they owe their success to this remedy. One man, and a very worthy one, in Shelby county, Indiana, said he would not do without it for one thousand dollars; his name is John Toner. James Mustard and John IIa.rc.ourt, of Broad Ripple, and San ford Sears, of Lebanon, are enthusiastic over it.
