Holden, the merchant there sent her a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and asked that she give it a thorough trial. On meeting Ms. Wells the next day he was told that she was all right, the pain had left her within two hours, and that the bottle of Pain Balm was worth $5.00 if it could not be had for less.

H. Day. One of the cutest things we have heard for a long time was Bro. Hare's reply to a person who said they could not accept the "Jonah and the whale Bro. Hare said, "'What! do you think an omnipotent and all powerful God, who made this world and other planets a thousand times larger than this could not make a fish capable of swallowing a man? That he could not make a fish, or a whale, or a tad pole that could swallow you? Why, my friend he could make one that could swallow this world if the was need of it." Another good point he made, was in speaking of the work of the women's christian Temperance Union.

He said their work was all right, but not complete-they did not go at it right. They might save a boy from a drunkard's graye and he then might go to hell. Save his soul. That's the way to do it. Save him from hell first and he'll neyer fill a drunkard's grave.

John Zimmerman, the affable and competent gentleman, chosen by the Republican party to fill the office of Sheriff of this county, made this office a pleasant call last Saturday. As 18 well known, we are on the political fence, but we are free to express our hearty sympathy and wishes of success to him, from a personal view of his charaoter and record. Mr, Zimmerman has filled this office one term 1 to the universal satisfaction of all, and as is well known by all parties, no improvement can be made by a change. We have yet to hear a word to his detriment either in his private life or public capacity. The great test of to-day is a few years before the world as a public official.

When a man can go through this ordeal with nothing but credit in his favor, when every act public or private will be raked up a and aired, he can be safely set down as sound to the core. Such a man has John Zimmerman proved to be, and these qualities should be recognized at the polls by giving him your support. Mrs. Mattie Barnhart went to Hutchinson last Fridav and spent several days. She returned Monday accompanied by Miss Josie and Vena Barnhart.

"When you see a good thing, take it in," was probably what one of our townsmen thought last Saturday when he took a subscriber's CHAMPION before the owner had a chance to read it. We appreciate his good judgement, but regret the inconvenience to our patrons, and suggest that as we are ever ready to receive new subscribers, that he should not infringe on his neighbor's rights any more. Hon. Whitelaw, independant candidate for judge of the 7th congressional district, was in town Wednesday in company with Frank McCourt of McPherson reminding voters of their interests in the coming election. Mr.

Whitelaw, we understand, was nominated by the Demo- crats, endorsed by the Populists and pretty well liked by the Republicans, and promises to make a close race with Judge Martin, the present incumbent. The Higgins Medicine show which was billed to appear here, for some cause. steered clear of the town, for which we are thankful.

Crop Report. Chicago, Oet. 28. -The crop report of the Orange Judd Farmer published this week states that husking is developing some disappointment in the yield of corn in the district where the heaviest yield was expected. Dry weather during the last six weeks of the season caused some premature ripening and shortened the ear.

The average is about 27.9 bushels and the total crop is estimated at 2,272, 000,000 bushels. The area sown to winter wheat appears larger than the area harvested this year in every state of importance east of the Rocky mountains except Illinois and Missouri. In the Ohio and Missouri valleys the area was increased in order to return part of the corn acreage to meadow, wheat being sown as a nurse crop with grass The total acreage, assuming that California will seed as much as last year, appears to be about 26,000,000 acres, or 1,500,000 more than was harvested this year and almost the same as was planted last fall. The crop was seeded under favorable conditions. The fall has been dry and it follows two years of short rainfall, so the ground is dry not only on the surface, but down to a depth never before noted.

Seeding was late, germination poor, and scattered fields from Ohio to Kansas are yet unsprouted. The prospect in Indiana and Ohio is very poor, plants small; and root growth deficient. In Illinois conditions are a little better; but rainfall is deficient in every section. The Missouri crop was seeded dry and drouth still prevails, so that the plants, where growing at all, 18 very small and not in good color. In Kansas local rains have supplied sufficient moisture in a few districts, while in others the seed still lies in a bed of dust, when not blown entirely out of the ground.

The general prospect has not been more discouraging at this date in any recent year. It is late, small, slow in growth, and lacking in vitality and while there is yet time for recovery it must be secured by an abundance of moisture: and a late beginning of severe winter weather. The potato crop is estimated to yield 29,000,000 bushels. The heavier yields are in the northwest, where the crop is too large to be profitably handled.Topeka Capital. Died Oct.

59, 1895, at her home near Mrs. Ann Stockey, aged 61 years and 7 days, of a combined attack of dropsy, diabetes and rheumatism. She was born in Ohio and at the age of 18, was married to Jacob Stookey at Chillicothe, Ohio. Four children bless ed their union, Melvin, Martha, Rena and Rinda. Melvin lives now at Nowata.

Her sickness has been a lingering and very painful one Jacob Stookey now left alone, is a feeble man of 63 years who will soon follow his beloved wife to her home beyond the skies. The sincere sympathy of the entire community is hereby extended to the -bereaved family. Funeral services were held Thursday at the Presbyterian church in Canton, conducted by Pastor P. H. Guy.

A large and attentive concourse of friends and relatives followed the remains to their final resting place in the cold earth. Below are some lines written by a near and dear relative that were handed us for publication, which express better than our pen can the esteem in which she was held. Mother dear has gone away, Her home is one eternal day; She walks the streets of purest gold, And her Savior doth behold, Oh don't you hear her songs of love As she calls her loved ones from above, Her husband is yet in this worid of pain But soon will join his Ann again. And there no sorrow will they know For Chiist our King has told us so. Mell, days will soon be o'er Mother calls you from yon bright shore.

The name of Rena she ealls so sweet "Oh meet me on the golden street; And Rinda dear, my child, my love, Fly to my arms my darling dove. And when united with Christ our King We'll join with angels then to sing In songs of praises never ending, On the bright celestial shore, -R. J. For Rent.

Now that the protracted meeting has closed, and the number of church members considerably increased, would be a good time to organize a Christian Endeavor Society in the Christian church. There are a number of young members who could now take hold in this manner and work, and find it a vast benefit to themselves as well as forming a powerful support to the church.

It will be a great help to the church, and a benefit to the community. Let the subject be considered, and a time appointed to meet and organize. A member ship of now 53 in the church can surely produce enough active members to have a good lively Endeavor Society. A Million Friends.
