Weak Stomach Feels Perfectly Well Since Taklnr 1 Hood's Sarsaparilla. I have been troubled for over two years with a weak stomach. I concluded to take Hood's Sarsaparilla. After taking a few bottles I felt perfectly well, and I cannot speak too highly of Hood's." Mrs. M.

H. Wright, Akron, Ohio. F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture, has had printed for distribution a crop souvenir of the year 1897.

It is a handsome bit of typograpical art from the office of John S. Parks, state printer, and con tains in brief form information that is worth preserving, la a few words it tells what the Kansas farmers have done this year, and it all is summed up in three totals: Total value of Held products, $1 30, 335, 358.

The mother of Alonzo Ilines of San Antonio, Texas, came to Atchison county a couple of weeks ago to visit relatives. When she got ready to return a telegram was sent to Mr. Ilines as follows: "Mother started When the dispatch was received by' Mr. Ilines it read: "Mother died tonight.1' He at once started for Atchison and did not learn the truth until his arrival there.

Cottonwoods are growing in the bed and farmers fear the course will be so choked in a few years that a Hood would menace life and property all along the valley. The big irrigating companies further west take the waters of the one time bia river. Judge Alden, of Kansas City, has just sentenced a fellow who stole twenty chickens to the penitentiary for a six years' term, while Cashier Taylor, of the Argentine bank, whose bank vas closed after having made a very dishonorable and dishonest record, was given but three years.

The new fee and salary bill which goes into effect January 1 provides for a fee of $2 for issuing a marriage license and no civil officer can charge more than 1. ,10 for performing the ceremony.

A report is in circulation to the effect that "Buffalo Jones," who went up into the northwest country some months ago in search of rare fur bearing animals, is lost. It is probably a mistake. Give a little time and he will show up all right.

Twenty-five per cent of the wheat raised in Southern Kansas this year is in the hands of the farmers, and they will hold it until they see how next year's crop will turn out.

Germany's foolish hostility to England, as voiced through her monarch, naturally gives offense to Austrian and Italian statesmen, and to that extent weakens the tie between the three nations.

Thus far the net result of the kaiser's freaks in his efforts to isolate England has been the creation of a distrust toward himself among his friends which may, if his pranks are persisted in, isolate Germany. Maurice Despres, an electrical engineer of Cordova, Spain, reports a remarkable shower of electrified rain which he recently witnessed. The day had been warm and windless, and about 5 in the evening the sun was overcast with dense clouds, lowering to the horizon. Soon after dark there was a flash of lightning, and two minutes later great drops of rain fell, which cracked faintly on touching the ground. From each of them sparks darted toward the walls, trees and soil they fell upon.

The phenomenon lasted several seconds, and apparently ceased when the air between cloud and earth became saturated with moisture.

The husky hero of the gridiron sees his picture in the papers, and with avidity column after column of fulsome rot about his feats on the football field. But the student still has an advantage over the athlete.

In his maturer years he is much more likely to see his portrait among the list of those who have achieved greatness in the great battle of life. i A new use for onions has been discovered. Recently bloodhounds were turned loose upon the trail of some bank burglars in Indiana. The man "hunt, however, lasted only a few minutes. Suddenly the leading dog began howling dismally and refused to farther, and it wa3 impossible to continue the chase.

A prisoner now in Jail at Ligonier has turned state's evidence and given the police all the facts concerning the burglary and the subsequent escape of the men. He says the Jjlcodhounds were thrown off the scent without any trouble by rubbing an VlliUll UU LUC UUtO Ji 11 ft burglars. He says that no bloodhoiiiflirV can be induced to follow an onion trail. Dogs are a good deal like people, after all. In teaching physiology, would it not be worth very much more to knew a few facts about dress, diet, exercise, rest, sleep, good and bad air, than to number and name all the bones, or name and classify all the muscle3? The bones will all keep their places and grow just as rapidly and firmly, whether numbered or unnumbered; but both mind and body will fare better if the lungs are not fed on bad air.

So the muscles will expand and contract and develop and strengthen, whether counted and classified or not; but they and the whole system may slacken or totally stop their action if the stomach is supplied with unwholesome food. Let the study, therefore, be directed at first to parts of the system under control, and afterward, if there be time, to the parts not under control. These latter may be studied at leisure, for general information, as we study comets and eclipses. A French scientist, M. Liebault, has probably had more experience and has done more to establish the claims of hypnotism than any modern physician.

According to him, the dangers of hypnotism are non-existent if it be employed by fit and proper persons who, whether to themselves or others, suggest only what is in harmony with the physiological functions of the organism; otherwise the dangers are obvious. In itself the induced sleep like ordinary sleep, is a condition which tends to the equilibrium of nerve forces and of the organic movements which those forces excite. The special qualities required for the production of the hypnotic sleep are self-confidence, assurance of success and a persuasive manner on the part of a hyp-aotizer; on the part of the subject, the wish to be hypnotized, confidence in the hypnotizer and free consent to tht imposition of his suggestion.

Dills Iutroducotl In tho limine and SenateThe Movement lingnm In Wuuli-Ineton's Tlinn Provide for an Institution of the Highest Learn 1 05. Washington, Dec. 13. The bill to establish the University of the United States was introduced in both Houses of Congress to-day. The bill in general terms provides for an institution of the highest possible type, for tho graduates of accredited colleges and universities only, with special reference to the work of original research and investigation in all important fields of inquiry.

The government is vested in a board of regents and a university council. The board of regents embraces tho President of tho United States, the Chief Justice of the court of the United States, the Commissioner of Education, tho Secretary of tho Smithsonian institution, the president of tho National Academy of Sciences, the president of the National Educational association, the president of the university and nine other citizens to bo appointed by the President, by and with tho advice and consent of the Senate. No two of them shall be from the same state. The university council is to have immediate charge of the work of instruction, research and investigation. It consists of the regents and twelve other members, to be appointed by them from among eminent educators, with a like impartial distribution.

Neither sectarian nor political preferences ih any form are to be allowed, whether in tho appointment or in any of the operations' of the institution. Authority is given to establish with other institutions of learning such cooperative relations as are deemed advantageous. Provision is made for the use of what is known as "University Square," the site set apart by Washington for university purposes and lately occupied by the naval observatory. Congress is now asked for but enough means to enable the board of regents to organize and practically inaugurate the institution. Gifts and bequests are to be deposited in the United States treasury in trust and invested in bonds of the United States bearing 5 per cent interest.

The present bill is the outgrowth of more than 100 years of agitation. The thought of a National university first came to Washington while commanding the Revolutionary army. Subsequently, as President, he repeatedly urged its establishment, and in his last will and testament left 325,000 in stocks as a first endowment, the inter est to be compounded. Had Congress fostered the plan this sum would now be nearly $5,000,000. The idea thus cherished by the Father of His Country was also indorsed by Presidents John Adams.

Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Jackson, and in more recent years, by Presi dents Grant and Hayes. During all this time the measure was advocated by men the most distinguished for learning and statesmanship, but. owing to the lack of effort, nothing practical was accomplished. The present general movement was begun at the Pan-Republic Congress of 1981 by the appointment of a committee of promotion. It is the intention of the National University committee that the government shall co-operate in the establishment of the proposed university, and it is intended that, the bill shall be pressed to early passage, so that July 0, 1899, the 100th anniversary of Washington's bequest, shall witness at least the practical beginning of whatshould become the leading university of the world.
