PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO CALL SEE US. Yours Truly, oonno on our shelves for continued from 3rd page. fought he real battls of freedome, in the field of thought and public opinion. In those days to be called an abolitionist was like being called a socialist to day. Who dare say they were not the real patriots.

To die in battle is not so hard a thing. Cheered on by bands of stirring music upheld by the wild enthu siasm of thousands touching elbows and acting as a unit, carried on the wave of a popular passion, knowing the very heart of the nation is beat ing in sympathy with you, it is a comparatively easy thing to sustain the wildest charge. But oh how different is it with the lonely preparer of the way. The office of "The voice crying in the wilderness" is not one to be coveted. Wendell Phillips makes a fair type of this class of God's patriots who were wrestling alone with the angel all the long dark night of ignotence and bigotry while such men as Grant, Logan and Sherman were politically serving the "nigger" drivers and upholding slav ery and voting the (un) democratic ticket.

Finely educated, of an aristocratic family, of highest social standing with wealth, and all lifes prospects holding golden opportuni ties, he bcrws his ear to the whisper of God calling him to champion the cause of the downtrodden. The great soul responds. A living martyrdom ensues. Friends, influence, social position, wealth, all are paid the terrible penalty for obeying the soul's inspiration. Yet he faltered not.

The finger of scorn social os tracism, eelf sacrifice and the slander and abuse of the bigoted defenders of "present institutions," followed him like his shadow. It was always so with the soul sensative enough to hear the whisper of Deity calling for a defender of Gods poor, and with a heart bold and true enough to say "Lord here am It is even so to no object. Gener OOD AST Rev. R. Colmerry of Columbus Ohio in company with Rev.

day. These are the real patriots." They who dare face a scoffing world for truth and equity. Real patriots are not a crouching race of emblem bigots, who suffer the precious perfumes of liberty to escape and worship the empty vaso. Earnestly Harry G. Vrooman.

To introduce Palmers delightfnl perfumes 11. J. Parker Co. have obtained a supply of sample bottles which they sell at 10 cents eaoh. These are acknowledged the best made.

Fashonable corsets with steels in them, and especially in front, and every other device for compressing the waist or any other part of the body, are wicked and should at once be discarded, as they are the most fruitful source of consumption, dyspepsia, and a majority of the ills from which women suffer. Let the waist be as God made it. llie step will be more elastic and graceful, and good health will be the result. Let the female chest and waist be as the Cre ator designed it to be. The lower part on account of the expansion of the lower ribs.

This wise arrangement of God's gives ample room for the action of the ungs, heart, liver diaphragm and stomach The fashionable corset with its flexible steel compresses the lower part of the ches and prevents a proper expansion of the lungs; A woman ought to be able to breathe full and deep, as does a man, which is impossible when the waist is pinioned by a fashionable corset. There are other modes of dresa that cause serious is jury to the delicate organs of the pelvis. A bustle, hoops and the many heavy skirts and under-garments which are hung about the waist, drag down the internal organs of the abdomen, and cause them to press heavily upon the contents of the pelvis. Soon the slender ligaments, which hold these organs in place, give away, and various kinds of displacements and other derangemsnts occur. The constant pressure and unnatural heat to which the lower part of the back is subjected are two of the chief causes for the frequency of kidney diseases, aud the sources of weak backs among women.

Garments from the upper part of the body overlap those on the lower portion below the waist, thus doubling the amount of clothing over the most vital parts. In this way the natural heat of the parts is greatly increased and much a uffering is the result. All the under-garmenta should be suspended from the shoulders by means of waists or suspenders. If the above does not satisfy Christian mothers and daughters, then ask them to read Roaiaks xii. 1.

2: "I beseach you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of Go 3, that ye pressnt your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may pryve what is that good and accept-eble and perfect will of God." Boils, abcesses, tumors, and even, cancers are the result of a natural effort of the system to expel the poisons which the liver and kidneys have failed to rEtnove.

J. G. Melvin, the veteran la boragitator dropped in upon us while on his way to IGmpona vvednesday. Few towns in the state can present such a genuine building boom as Quenemo. The M.

E. church will be ready for use in about two weeks. The Southern Kansas has put the road bed in excellent shape, graveling it and laying steel rails the entire length. The side-tracks in this city have been put in the same good con dition. Mr.

Melvin, Judge H. P. Vrooman and Cyrus Corning attended the convention of the Union Labor party in Emporia this week. "Wo are indebted to Rer. Poinsett for a very pleasant call this week.

He is one of the fearless advocates of truth and reform and has just grit enough to meet the devil, come in what shape he may. Miss Dora Cloud who is attending school at Oberlin College, is sick and her sister Mollie has gone to see her. They will return home together. Laundry.

K. W. Depot, and are now prepared to do all kinds of laundry work. Frsd Haxsob No organization can afford to put up one of its members on every pub lic occasion to waylay those whom it specially invites to be present and aid on the occasion. The two really instructive and appropriate speeches made at the Campfire were by George Logan and Mr.

Morehead. Standing over ths graves of the dead heroes who with their lives defended the nation, it does not seem to be appropriate to dilate upon the waywardness and vice of army life. The impression upon the young by such a course could not be desirable. Better lessons can be drawn from that heroic struggle and better things are due from those brave defenders who perilled all and lost all that this nation might live. Mr Wright, of Lyndon, came in yesterday morning to take treatment of Dr.

Kester. An excursion train consisting of foar coaches passed through Quentmo Sunday last loaded with passengers on their way to Ottawa to attead tho Dunkard camp- meeting. EXCURSION TO TOPEKA.

ZE1-ZLBB, "CXnciertaJror, opn dar and night. Under Masonic HaIL Quonemo, Kansas. Memorial Day- This Is a dayjmade sacred by tho sacri fico of human life and tho shedding1 of in noccnt blood. All over this nation this day Is observed, and lessons of instruction are given to the surviving sol dier and tho citizenship of this country. While yet tho table pall of mourning hangs heavily upon this nation; while yet the national heart aches over the cruel and bloody thrust of treason, wo love to think of tire bravo men, whose sturdy blows turned aside tho deadly shaft hurled by traitor hands and who sacredly guard ed the Goddess of Liberty in the temple reared by patriot hands from tho poluting touch of treason.

Three hundred thousand of tli brave men fell to risj no more. Their lives went out amid the clash of arms. They gave all that God pave them to give, that the bands of this nnl'n might not be ass under. llieir gift, even though a bloody sacrifice. was acceptable to the God of battles and the clouds rose, the smoke cleared awav.

the din of battle ceased, the groans of the mangled and dying were hushed and were lost in tha low sobbing of the millions whose hearts blod for the wounded and lost, thon the black bondmen rose up in tiieaigmty onus manhood and walked forth in tho sunlight of liberty and the smiles or God's love. Thev are en titled to the grcatful remembrance of the living Let the flowers srrow fresh unon their graves. Lec justice be done to the living loved ones whose hearts bled when the sad newt flashed over the wires that treason had done its work, blasting their hopes, darkening their lives, crushing their hearts. To carry this justice, tempered with kindness and love, to the homes of thoss who made the sacridca, is the mission of the noble order of the Grand Army of the Republic. But in addition to this great saerifiea millions of treasure were expended to to ment the bonds of union.

The sacrifice was great the victory was glorious. The Institutions saved were in valuable. That they may be maintained. and without spot or blemish, handed along down the line and committed to intelli gent and trusty hands, is the work com mitted to the surviving soldiery and loyal citizenship of this couutry. Comrades, will you, as your comrades gone, be equal to tne tm you Do more loyal ttiau paitizun? Will you be quick to discover tne mrking seeds wmcn may spring up and bear national ruin? Will you be prompt destroy the curse of nations Dei ore it shall fasten Its damnable clutch upon the throat of our beloved country? Wait not till the storms of war shall burst and the red stream of blood beafin to flow You are sentinels on the watch towers of liberty.

Slumber not. Give no uncertain Sound Bo as watchful as you were brave If the days which tried men's souls. Let no bickerings enter your camp, no envyings blunt your minds, aud no bias control your actions, lest the enemy of your country creep upon you unawares and successfully storm the citadel of your neatness. Comrades, we hear tho rumblings of a coming storm, liiuld your breast works throw up yur intrenchments, man your forts, unfurl to tho breeze tho stars and Btripes, muster tho full forces of your telligence your wisdom and your patriotism and strangle the enemy before he shall form his ranks on American soil. llsmeraber that "Eternal vigilance is tho price of liberty."

We shall be glod to welcome him to our town. Decoration Day. As is customary the members cf the G. A. R.

met at their hall about one o'clock p. m. and formed a procession and marched to the Ausman grove. The children had gathered at the school house and from there they were taken to the grove where the audience had gathered to listen to music an oration from Rev. Poinsett and to view the ceremonies of th day.

The audience wa3 not as large as we had hoped to see. J. S. Cloud had charge of the exercises, boomerang officiated as chaplain and the Rev. Poinsett gave a short but stirring address.

The music was very good, Mrs. Fuller presiding at at the organ. The ceremonies closed by strewing the graves of the fallen heroes with beautiful flowers. In the evening a camp fire was held in the G. A.

R. Hall and the attendance was very large. The music of the evening was excellent. Short addresses were made hy several of the Comrades and by Geo. Logan and Rev Ilanna who had been inspired by a speech from Jap Washburn who tried to vent his spleen on an unseen enemy.

John Ellis sang a song. Boomerang came forward in answer to a call for another speaker and poured bilge water upon the audience in copious quantities, lie said he was a Buckeye and his company could beat any other company in the army in stealing and that thii trait has followed all the boys of his company even to this day as his neighbors and acquaintances could testify, an audible smiU in the audience To clinch this assertion, lest there might be a doubter before him, he proceded to tell of one of his messmates who. with himself imitated a guard and stole a box of crackers. That messmate's name was George -Logan. Said boomeranir, when ever he thought of his old messmate and noted thief, he was reminded of Geo.

Logan of Quene-nemo who was a representative of Quenemo and his record known to all. After a few more bombastic allusions to himself, a few more confessions of his general army waywardness and personal insults to Mr. Logan who had been called upon to aid the soldier's camp-fire and who was in the line of his duty, boomerang closed his harrangue much to the satisfaction of want money and If you wish to buy spring millinery, call on Mrs. Still.

CHIDDREN'S WEAR A SPFOTAL ITY Corner of Second and Cedar (just east of the Santa Rita,) v5n42 every intelligent soldier and every citizen present. We know not what may have been the character of boomerang in army times, but we do kiiow since he became a minister of the gospel and settled in Quenemo he has proved himself to be a collossal liar and notorious mischief maker and a contemptible slanderer and the crowning hypocrite of the age. So much for the Buckeye soldier and the messmate of the notorious cracker thief "Geo Logan." So iongSas the G.

A. R. continue to trot him out to insult those who are invited by the order to aid In its public meetings, and to mock deity by his hollow prayers, so long will It merit the contempt of honest soldiery and loyal sitizenship. Otherwise the occasion was highly pleasing and instinctive. Backache; stitches in the side, inflation and soreness of the bowels, are symptoms of a disordered gtate of the digestive and assimilative organs, which can be corrected by the use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills.
