NUMBER 26. Another Veteran Gone. Geo. Klingle died at his home on South Manning St. Friday afternoon, aged 85 years.

His wife preceded him few month. He served in the Mexican war until it closed, and when Ft Sumpter was fired on he was one of the first to respond. He was still young, and gave four years of his best manhood to save his country. He was always genial and kind to all, and especially to children. If he saw a little child with bare hands and feet he would buy it shoes and mittens: and he always kept some presents for the little ones as they can well testify.

He was so kind and patient with his aged wife in her long illness. He had nothing to live for but one dear litte grandson when she was gone. He was a member of the U. B. church and a Christian man; also a member of Siverd Post No.

85. Although there were few mourners and few tears shed yet he was one of God's chosen followers, and always dared to do rignt. He was only waiting until the shadows were a little longer grown, and then tell asleep in Jesus. A FRIEND. Death of Dr.

Park. Dr. S. B. Park died at 3:20 o'clock Monday morning at his home, 609 East Eleventh, after a long and painful illness.

He took sick with the grip several weeks ago, and that, with other complications, caused his death. Dr. Park has lived in Winfield since 1882 and he ranked among the best physicians and surgeons of the southwest. He was born in Licking county Ohio, April 2. 1844, and moved with his parents to Illinois in boyhood.

He took two courses in Rush medical college and later graduated from Beaumont college St Louis. In 1867 he was married to Miss Mary Davidson who died in April 1895. Five children resulted from this union, only two of whom, Harry and Cora, survive The son is a druggist at Los Angeles, California, and the daughter, who is 23 years old, lives with her father but has been visiting her brother in California this winter. She got home jnst a few days ago. She notified her brother of their father's death, but it was impossible for him to get here in time to attend the funeral.

In February 1897, Dr. Park was married to Miss Mary Hurley who survives him. He was a member of the M. E. church, a member of Adelphi Lodge Consumption is destruction of lung by a growing germ, precisely as mouldy cheese is destructior: of cheese by a growing germ.

and was a thirty second degree Mason, belonging to Wichita consistery No. 2. He was also a member of, and examining surgeon for the Modern Woodmen, Fraternal Aid association and the Red Men. For a number of years in Winfleld he was local surgeon for the Missouri Pacific railroad. The funeral occured Tuesday afternoon and was attended by the various lodges of which he was a member besides many others of his old friends and neighbors.

The floral tributes were elaborate and beautiful. Death of Mrs. Batchelder. Mrs. J.

W. Batchelder died at her home on East Ninth Thursday afternoon, February 7. The funeral 0C- cured Saturday, Rev. T. W.

Jeffrey preaching the sermon. Mrs. Batchelder had been practically an invalid for several years, but the grip was the immediate cause of her death. She and her husband came to Winfield in 1871 and no one was more highly esteemed in the community. She was a member of the M.

E. church and always took an active part in church work where she will be specially missed. Besides her husband she leaves one son, Harry, of Oklahoma City, who arrived Thursday night; one brother, W. R. Wickerham living nine miles southeast of town, and one sister, Mrs.

Fred Williams of Trinidad, Col. A Dastardly Deed. This morning about half past twelve the windows of the United Brethren church were smashed in a cowardly manner by unknown persons. Not a window was left whole. The gentleman who lives opposite states that he heard the first crash and got up and looked out.

There were three persons in the gang and they ran rapidly around the church, smashing windows as they ran, then went rapidly away toward the east. The people of Winfield are justly indignant at the cowardly deed. Many who were undecided before, now say the lawless element must be taught that they cannot run the town. Churches stand for civilization, progress, goodness. Joints stand for barbarism, retrogression, evil.

It is easy to decide which is best for any city. A reward of $500 has been offered for information leading to the arrest of the guilty parties. Funeral of H. C. Weaver.

The funeral of H. C. Weaver occured Friday afternoon at the First M. E. church.

Rev. T. W. Jeffrey, pastor of the church, and Rev. Geo.

T. Smith chaplain of the G. A. R. post, conducted the services.

Siverd Post attended in a body. Henry C. Weaver was born in Louisville, May 15, 1840, and died Wednesday Feb. 6, 1901. When a small boy he moved with his parents to Indiana where he grew to manhood.

April 23, 1861, he joined Co. 16th Indiana volunteer infantry and discharged May 1 16, 1862. July 2, 1862 at Clinton, he was married to Miss Helen Hunt, who survives him. Five children, three of whom are living, resulted from the union, the surviving children being Mrs. Al McNeal, Mrs.

Ed Putman and Miss Alice Weaver, all of whom live in Winfield. He and his wife also raised an adopted son, C. H. Andrews now a prosperous citizen of Wichita. He was adopted at the age of two years.

Mr. Weaver came to Kansas in 1876 locating first at Larned. He came to Winfield in 1879 and this has since been his home. He was a blacksmith and carriage maker by trade and he worked at this business until he was compelled to quit work about six years ago on account of his health. He made a specialty of building stages in an early day and many of the stage coaches all along the frontier were made by him.

He belonged to Siverd Post G. A. R. and to the Modern Woodmen. He was of a quiet disposition but was patriotic and public spirited to a marked degree.

His word was as good as his bond and he seldom lost a friend. He has many warm friends all over Cowley county who sympathize with his family. When you have a cold try J. N. Harter's cough syrup, 25c.

HARTER, The Druggist. Temperance Mass Meeting. The temperance people held another mass meeting at the opera house Wednesday night which was attended by an immense crowd. The object of the meeting was to take further steps to! close the joints, by peaceable means if possible. The temperance folks of the city are not anxious to destroy joint property; but they are determined that such places must go, and will never quit work till that object is fully accomplished.

H. L. Kunce explained why the raid had been made in the morning. He said it was not that they loved Schmidt's place any less than the others, but it was done to show all the jointists that they meant business. Rev.

Geo. Smith and Rev. S. W. Stophlet made good talks.

A collection was taken up and a good sum was raised to aid the work. The joint element gathered in the back part of the room and made frequent interruptions, and at times a regular riot was imminent. Several fights occured, but no one was seriously hurt. It was not intended at first to pass ultimatum resolutions. But when the crowd at the back became so boisterous some one made a motion to pass them, and they were adopted.

They are an exact copy of the Topeka resolutions, except as to time. They give the jointists until next Wednesday to remove all fixtures and quit business entirely, or there will be another smashing. E. F. Green of this county has introduced a state dispenser, bill in the house.

It provides for the establishment of dispensaries in numerous precincts throughout the state. These dispensaries shall operate under and in conjunction with the prohibitory provision of the state constitution. The bill includes the repeal of the law whereby probate judges issue permits to drug stores to sell liquors. Green differentiates his bill from the South Carolina statute by eliminating the profits entirely. The stuff would be dealt out at precisely the purchase price, less the maintenance of stations and salary of the agents; daylight business hours only and the usual provisions against selling to minors or habitual drunkards, with adequate bonds to hold agents, are also included.

The funeral of J. C. Fuller occurred Saturday afternoon from the M. E. church.

A large crowd followed the remains to Union cemetery to pay the last sad tribute to an old friend and neighbor. Mr. Fuller came to Winfield with Hon. D. A.

Millington in 1870 and since that time no man has been more closely identified with the business interests of Winfield. He opened the Winfield bank of J. U. Fuller in January 1871, this being at that time the only bank south of Emporia. This bank continued business until 1879 when he formed a partnership with Col.

J. C. McMullen and they incorporated the Winfield bank. The bank was successful and prosperous and was always one of the strong forces in the prosperity and upbuilding of Winfield. In 1884 owing to poor health Mr.

Fuller was compelled to retire from active business and the bank was sold to H. B. Schuler and it was soon after incorporated as the Winfield National bank under which name it has since existed. We don't know much about the effect of materia medica upon the human system, but we did write, fill and take the following prescription, which knocked la grippe higher than Gilderoy's kite: "Four quarts of whiskey, into which were dissolved four ounces of loaf sugar. To this we added a teaspoonful of water and another quart of whiskey and then placed over a hot fire and boiled sufficiently long to boil out all the water.

We then stirred in a little more whiskey to cool and gulped it down without batting an eye. In order toremove the taste from our mouth we took a little more Avalanche. Barrel of Whiskey Smashed. Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock a barrel of whiskey at the Santa Fe depot containing about 20 gallons of the old serpent was smashed, and the liquor was spilled on the floor. The end of the barrel was broken out with a crow bar or some such weapon.

The whiskey was from a St. Joe house and was consigned to Chance Rhodes. Joe Moncrief and Mike are suspected as having done the work, which they neither affirm nor deny. But who ever did it did a thorough job. SO NERVOUS COULD NOT SLEEP.

When there is disease of the delicate female organism, it is only a question of time until the general health becomes undermined. Nervousness, sleeplessness, loss of appetite and "sinking spells" produce suffering almost indescribable. There can be no restoration of the general health until the local health of the womanly organism is re-established. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries offensive drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness.

It encourages the appetite, tranquilizes the nerves and induces refreshing sleep. "You would be surprised if you could have seen me when I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's medicine and could see me now," writes Mrs. Isaac S. Harris, of Gayville, Yankton So.

Dakota. "I had no appetite, was completely run down. Have had stomach trouble for years and was so nervous I could not sleep. We have spent a lot of money doctoring, but there was not one thing that I took that did me any good, except for a short time: till I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Golden Medical In three days after I commenced taking his medicines I could see a change for the better, and from that time I have steadily been getting better.

Can walk or ride to any place I want to, and I feel like a new person. Since taking Dr. Pierce's medicines I can sleep all night and never get up tired in the morning; can eat anything and it don't hurt me." Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cure biliousness and sick headache. The Union Hill Social and Literary society will hold their regular meeting next Saturday evening, Feb.
