The Western Advocate from Mankato, Kansas • 4

a I Western Advocate. OFFICIAL CITY PAPER. BRITISH soldiers in south Africa ask for reinforcements--and their friends in London send them plum puddings. A FREE employment bureau opened in Kansas City on the 18th of December and right in the midst of these times" over 1,000 unemployed asked for work inside of the first week. HENRY R.

HONEY, EDITOR. IN 1896 many republicans said to us that they were in favor of silver and always had been, but as the republican party declared for international bimetalism they proposed to stay with the party. What will these men say in 1900 now that the party is committed unconditionally to the gold standard? THE railroads of the United show gross earnings 1800 952. This is an increase of 10 per cent over the earnings of 1898 and shows that the "wave" hit the roads. But we note that their salaries for workmen haye not been raised.

The Santa Fe last week refused an asked for advance. THE county printing has again been let to the three republican papers at the lump sum of $700, almost twice the amount paid to this paper when we did the work. This is just one little item in the list of county expenses which make your taxes high. Of course this helps the republican papers, and the people don't mind donating them three or four hundred dollars. IN selecting candidates for public office it is the part of wisdom to select the very best men to be had.

There are good men in Kansas, plenty of them, but there is no man in the state who is so eminently calculated at the present time for the oflice of governor as Hon. John W. Breidenthal. There is a man in whom all the people have confidence irrespective of party. There is no man in the state who can go into the fight with success so sure.

Make his nomination unanimous and his election will be practically the same. MAJ. HUDSON is writing anti-trust -and anti-bossism editorials in the Topeka Capital which read just like Populist articles. They are as ringing as the free silver editorials this same Hudson used to write for the same paper in the early nineties. The only trouble with the Capital is that its anti-convention and its anti -convention editorials are not alike.

After the republican party has held its convention Hudson will get 10 line with the bosses, no matter who they may be and no matter what position the party assumes upon the questions of the day. Ir takes $1,925,000 hard cash, from the public of Eugland to sup. port the Royal family in idleness and luxury. What public service they render for a single penny of this enormous sum, no one knows or can tell. Yet the high Christian civilization of this mighty nation lays the heavy hand on the tax gatherer, upon the poor orphan, the widow, and the lowly provide support for princely drones in idleness and oftentimes debauchery.

President Kruger of the Transvaal, is said to receive less than the governor of Kansas for his puplic services. every dollar of which he earns. Which of the two nations is the more Christian and civilized in this respect? -Commoner. 'The large increasing circulation of The Live Stock Indicator in this country is a matter of congratulation to the publishers and to good farming, for of all the papers of its class in the country, it is easily and most helpful. Its special Farmers' Institute editions, issued with the regular edition the first week in each month, have been for years the admiration of all practical farmers.

Written wholly by farmers, they are full of actual experience and smell of the soil. We have been fortuna'e this season to secure terms for the Indicator and its special Farmers' stitute Editions, together with the Poultry Farmer and the Famers' Mutual Insurance Journal, four of the most valuable farm publications in the country, that enable us to offer the four in connection with our own paper for $1 30 for the entire five, one year. This is emphatically a good thing, and no farmer in this county should fail to take advantage of the offer. For large line of thoroughly practical farm reading nothing has been offered before that equals it. A couuty paper, a farm paper, poultry paper, a farm insurance paper or and the Special Farmers' Institute, all for $1.30.

Come in and order them. Clarkson Rate Book in Use Again. The Clarkson rate book, which Webb McNall tried to suppress, and according to the testimony of the publisher of the book did suppress, has been revived all over Kansas and is now in general use among the insurance companies. The Topeka book costs the agent $15. It is a good sized volume and is printed in the publishing house of the promoter of the book, Harrison Clarkson, of this city.

Supplements are issued in the same old way as it was when Webb McNall declared it to be a violation of the Kansas anti-trust law. The insur. ance companies not only pay for this publication, but they are compelled to purchase one of the books for every town in which the company has an agent. The reason for this is plain. The non use of the book might get one of the Union companies into trouble by a failure to use the regulation rates in this book, so every one of the compan ies subscribe to the rate bureau and the Kansas and Indian Territory rates are fixed in Topeka -Topeka Capital.

Free of Charge. Any adult suffering from a cold settled on the breast, bronchitis, throat or lung truble of any nature, who will call at Raynolds Co's. will be presented with a sample bottle of Boschee's German Syrup free of charge. Only one bottle given one person, and none to children without order from parents. No throat or lung remedy ever had such a sale as Boschee's German Syrup in all parts of the civilized world.

Twenty years ago millions of bottles were given away, and your druggist will tell you its success was marvelous. It is the only throat and lung remedy generally endorsed by physicians. One 75 cent bottle will cure or prove its value. Sold by dealers in all civilized countries. 12-8-99-eow3m, President McKinley says: "While there is now no commercial fright which withdraws gold from the government, but, on the contrary, such widespread confidence that gold seeks demanding paper money in exchange, yet the very situation points to the present as the most fitting time to adequate provisions to insure the continuance of the gold standard of public confidence in the ability and purpose of the government to meet all its obligations in the money which the civilized world recognizes as the best." How do these words compare with the words of the same man, uttered in an address at the Lincoln Day banquet in Toledo, Ohio, February 12, 1891: "During all of Grover Cleveland's years at the head of the government, he was dishonoring one of our precious metals, one of our own great products, discrediting silver and enhancing the price of gold.

He endeavored, even before his inauguration to oflice, to stop the coinage of silver dollars, and afterwards, to the end of his administration, persistently used his powers to that end. He was determined to contract the circulating medium and to demonetize of the coins of commerce, limit the volume of money among the people, make money scarce and therefore He would have increased the value of money and diminished the value everything else-money the master, everything else the servant. He was not thinking of the poor then. had left 'their He was not standing forth in their defense. Cheap coats, cheap labor and dear money.

WEAVER 3 miles north and 1 west of Mankato. IS CO The following obituary of Mrs. Nancy Beeler, mother of Fred Beeler, L. C. Beeler, Rev.

Geo. Beeler, J. V. Beeler, S. D.

Beeler, Charles Beeler, W. C. Beeler and Mrs. Railsback, of Jewell county, we find in the Register, Marion, Iowa: Nancy Dollarhide was born in fudianapolis, Indiana, March 14th, 1821, was married to Mr. Fredrick Beeler November 28th, 1837, and immediately accompanied her husband to Iowa, and settled on a farm four miles northwest of Marion, where they resided until the death of her husband.

February 12th, 1895, after which she spent some time with her daughters in California, and sons and daughter Kansas. Later she made her home in this city until June 10, 1899, when she again visited Kansas, spending the summer with her children, often speaking of her ably good health and what a pleasure it was to visit them all again. ing October 1, 1899, she made her home in this city, where she resided until her death which occurred on the 30th day of December, 1899, after only a few days of illness. Her death was a shock to all, the most of her children not knowing but what she was enjoying her usual good health, until the sad telegram came announcing her death. This happy union was blessed with seventeen children, fourteen of whom survive her, eight sons and six daughters.

The eight sons and three daughters being present at funeral Mother Beeler was the mcther of a remarkable family. Remarkable as to the number; as physical proportions; remarkable as to uniform moral excellence. No dwarf physically, no weakling mentally, no degenerate morally, is found in this large family of splendid manhood and womanhood. Truly the father and mother of such a family, who fearing God and working righteousness, have stamped their individuality upon every child, teaching them all to love and reverence their creator, have reared for themselves a monument enduring as eternity.
