Mil ler, have been here on a visit and tour. They are more than pleased with this part of Kan sas, and it is probable that they will buy land in Allen county. Since the above was in type we learn they have purchased C. II. Pratt's Hill farm.

Politically Humboldt has been well treated this campaign. Both sides of the question have been presented by some of the ablest speakers in the Slate, and the Republicans have also had speakers from outside the State. Surely no one can complain of their not having been enough politics in the air of this city. The prico of wheat at present and what it is likely to be by Christmas, no doubt raake9 some of our farmers wish they had been paying more attention to wheat raising. It always pays to have a nice granary of wheat on hand, even at low prices, and then when a big lump comes you can get a chance to even np on what has been sold at low figures.

As will be noticed The Union has a new correspondent. Prairie Center district lies southwest of Humboldt, and is settled by pros perous farmers, and no doubt but that our new contributor will keep our readers well posted on tho hap penings in that district. This weeks' items are very interesting and well prepared. Success to "A Cenlerite." A communication was received this weok from a person under a fic ticious signature, which was political in subject, and very good with the exception of a portion of the article, which was too personal, and for that reason we do not publish it.

-William- Braucher, of Cottage Grove, who has not been affiliating with the Republican party during recent years, has renounced all other affiliations and has come home to the grand old party, and to stay. He will vote for McKinley and Hobart, and the entire Republican State ticket. We congratulate Mr. Braucher on his wise decision, and are glad to again see him in the Republican ranks. To make whitewash that will not wash off by the rain: "One peck of lime should be slacked in five gal.

Ions of water, in which one pound of rice has been boiled until it is all dissolved. The rice water should be used hot, and the mixture should be covered up closely until the lime is slacked. Then a pound of salt should be added, and the wash heat ed to a boiling heat when used." Grandma Bartels died at her home in Iola Friday of last week, and was buried last Sunday. A very large number of friends attended the funeral, thus attesting the deep re spect in which the deceased was held. Grandma Bartels was the mother of Mrs- R.

T. Travis and Mrs. Amelia Van Fossen, of this city, and of Mrs. Stevens, and the Bartels' brothers, of, Iola. She was an old settler, coming to Kansas In I860, and was in her SGth year at the time of her death.

She was universally loved and respected by all who knew her, and the loving sym pathy of many friends is given to the saddened children of this aged mother.

Mr. Ben ton has been a life long Democrat, but this year he will vote for McKinley, and in a splendid and masterly oratorical effort he told the audience why he was going to stand with the Grand Old Party. He told in his torical way of the old "land bank' schemes of England, France, Rhode Island and the Argentine Republic; of the disastrous failures in each instance, and showed that the free and unlimited coinage of silver by the United States would produce the same kind of disasters, only ten times worse, than those of the past. It was a masterly and convincing argument throughout, and he was listened to with eager interest by all present, and was vigorously applaud ed during his 2 hours speech. The Glee Club sangsome campaign eongs, which were well received.

Red-field's drum corps was in evidence and rendered some stirring martial music before the speaking. A Handy Household Invention. One of the most useful inventions of recent years Is the Standard Kitchen Cabinet, orders for which are being taken in this city and vi cinity by Samuel Davidson. It is so useful and convenient that It Is no wonder the busy housekeeper wants one for her own use as soon as she sees it. Mr.

Davidson is having good success In selling the Cabinet to ladies in Humboldt and surrounding country. It indeed a most useful and economical contrivance and no kitchen is complete without one. The Cabinet is 35 inches high, 27 inches wide, made of sheet metal, beautifully decorated, practically air tight, dust, moisture and insect proof, and hangs on the wall in a handy position above and a little to the right of the cook table. It contains a 50-pound flour bin, a 30 pound meal bin, a CO-pound sugar bin, and three other bins which hold one gal lon pprh that are used for rice, oat- coffee or anything bonght in small quantities; besides a bread or cake box, an extract or tool box, five air-tight tea and ppiee drawers, coffee mill, ppring Rcales, cake cntter, scoop and fcoop sifter.

Jesse Barker went up to Garnett last Saturday on business and also to take in the big Republican rally at that place. He says it was the largest political demonstration he ever saw in Kansas, the crowd being estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000. The procession at night was a grand affair, fully 500 torches beiDg in line, interspersed with three fine bands, and led by the famous flambeau club ofOIatheand the Garnett flambeau club, which was followed by GO young ladies in beautiful costumes, marching clubs from various points in the county, and hundreds of citizens not in uniform, and bringing up the rear was the gun club, which kept up a deafening roar by the firing of blank cartridges. There were 15 or 20 suggestive transparancies in the procession, and a continual blaze of rockets, Roman candles and bombs made a scene long to be remembered. Speeches were made in the city park in the afternoon by prominent speakers and at night the opera house and auditorium were packed with those eager to bear the gospel of sound money and protection.

This would indicate that Anderson county is all right. 'I had chronic diarrhoea for ten years." says L. W. Kicblein, a justice of the peace at South Easton, Pa. "No remedy afforded mo real relief until I was induced by Chas.
