Mr. Eoitoh: Allow me to speak a few words in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I suffered for three years with the bronchitis and could not sleep at nights.

J. Hatfield. A Certain Cure for Dysentery and Diarrhoea, "Some years ago I was one of a party that intended making a long bicycle trip," says F. L. Taylor, of New Albany, Bradford County, Pa.

"I was taken suddenly with diarrhoea, and was about to give up the trip, when editor Ward, of the Laceyville Messenger, suggested that I take a dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. I purchased a bottle and took two doses, one before starting and one on the route. I made the trip successfully and never felt any ill effect. Again last summer I was almost completely run down with an attack of dysentery. I bought a bottle of this same remedy and this time one dose cured me." Sold by A.

They allowed the salary and expense bills and discussed a request from the city concerning the building of about 250 feet of sidewalk along the south side of the high school grounds. A majority of the board favored waiting another year until the district is in better shape to do the work.

They will be compelled to provide more seats and will for the present put in some of the old ones they have on hand.

President AlcKinley Receives Wounds at Buffalo Which May Prove Fatal.

Sept. 6th, 5 i.v. Word has just been received that President McKinley had been fatally wounded while in Buffalo. Three shotB were fired at him, two of which struck him, one in the chest and one in the groin, either of which may prove fatal. No other particulars.

Later: The president's death occurred at 5:40 p. Josh Westhafer, of Loogootee, is a poor man, but he says he would not be without Chamberlain's Pain Balm if it cost five dollars a bottle, for it saved him from being a cripple. No external application is equal to this liniment for stiff and swollen joints, contracted muscles, stiff neck, sprains and rheumatic and muscular pains. It has also cured numerous cases of partial paralysis. It is for sale by A.

Persons thinking that the corn crop in Miami county is an utter and complete failure are invited to call at the Graphic office and look at a sample Jetor Conklio's late corn which he left with us last Saturday. The ears that he brought in are above the average of the ordinary crop year. They were grown on upland and were planted late in the season.

The ears are filled clear out to the end of the cob and are beginning to push through the husk. Oh yes, there will be corn. A young fellow was seen lurking around in the alley back of the old Swayze lumber yard last Thursday afternoon. His actions excited suspicion and the officers watched him a bit and soon located a drummer's case of sample gloves that had been stolen off a baggage truck at the depot. It had been thrown into the high weeds near the lumber yard.

lie was taken into custody, but as they could not connect him with the theft he was dismissed that night. The gloves in the case were all for the left hand and he would not have raised much out of them if he had gotten away with them.

Last Sunday seems to have been a strenuous day for Vice President Roosevelt. Kansas City will begin the erection of a fine itatue of Thos. II. Benton on the aite of the old exposition building aeon as her expert grafters can think up some scheme to get the money out of Kansas to pay the bills. Gov.

Stanley has announced that he will appoint W. II. Sheldon of Paola to the judgthip of this district which will be made vacant by the retirement of Judge Burris next winter. Mr. Sheldon is an able lawyer and will give the district good service for many years we hope.

In its column of extras taken from the edition of the Citizen of August 29th 1879 the Wilson County Citizen has the following: "Isn't it about time some one was organizing a brats band? Where's J. A. Burge?" J. A. Burge is in the State Hospital for the insane at this place.

Is the band to blame? Dotfie the Illnois grafter who claims to be the prophet Elijah come to town again has his good points. He will riot admit any one to membership in his church who does not pay his bills promptly. That is a cold blooded for a man who professes to be a prophet but it is business. MWSSSBSMIBBBBMSMMBWWiaMBM Mr. W.

R. Blgham of Council Grove is to go to Cape Town, South Africa, hs United States Consul to succeed J. Stowe of Kansas City who resigned because the expense of the office used up all the salary and fees and a part of his private fortune. A man that an ambition to All such a position as this Is certainly keen to serve his country. And now they do say that our state superintendent of insurance in examining insurance companies at $10 a day and expenses, turning the money into the state treasury and then drawing it out and converting it to his own use.

Thand God, Webb McNall and his fellow pirates made no pretences. They plundered the companies openly and above board. If all reports are true, their conduct was respectable along side of that of Mr. Church. Some political boomers in this district are criticizing congressman Bowersock because of a letter written by him some time ago in relation to tariff revision.

We give the full text of his reply in this issue of, the Graphic. Mr. Bowersock discusses the matter from his favorite standpoint, that of a business man, and his argument Will appeal to the intelligence of all men who are not wedded to the high protective tariff idol. Mr. 15.

A. Enright of Kansas City. Kansas, seems to be trying to back into the race for either govenor or attorney general. We would advise him to get into the race for governor. Ha has made a good start if he only knew it.

He made a fourth of July speeoh at this place and that is the way Gov. Stanley made his start. Soma may say that Mr. Stanley had the nomination in his inside pocket, but that is a mere matter of detail and does not cut any figure in the result. The out-come would have been Just the same.

The Olathe News-Herald has been old to a stock company. It is to be enlarged and improved, if the latter is found to be practicable. Now if the company in charge of the deal will buy the Mirror and consolidate the two they will do the wisest thing they ever have done for the city of Olathe, the county and the Republican party both are good papers. But one would cover the territory to the satisfaction of all parties better than they both do at this time, and it would surely make more money than they both do, as it could be run with less expense for labor, rent and incidental expenses. The Yates Center News is renewing tn argument that we advanced through the columns of that paper more than ten years ago.

The News wants the city to buy a tract of land southwest of the town and put in a big dam to hold water for railroad and city purposes. We advocated this plan more than ten years ago through the columns of the same paper. In that time the city has spent money enough drilling for gas to have bought all the land necessary for the reservoir and build the dam, and they have nothing to show for it but some holes in the ground with salt water in them. They have demonstrated the lack of gas, oil or artesian water in the localities tested. JBut enough water goes to waste down Middle Owl creek every year to supply the citv and the rail- road very thoroughly.

Just like most other municipalities, the county seat of Woodson county has sought the unattainable and overlooked the practicalities that lie at her door. A source of fortune has lain at our own door fcM all these years and has never been confirmed as deputy street commiss ioner. The mayor was instructed to insert an advertisement in both papers warning people against removing grade stakes. An ordinance was passed for building a sidewalk on the south and west side of block 80 Ellens- ville addition. An ordinance for building a sidewalk along the south side of the high school grounds was introduced and on motion was laid on the table.

A motion was made and sus tained to build a sidewalk along the west side and the north end of the city hall lot. The council then adjourned without further action. Hon. James II. Holmes af New York paid this city a brief visit last Friday and Saturday.

He called office, but we were in but a few momenta during his stay, so that we missed a most agreeable visit with him. Mr. Holmes was here in 1355 and participated in the first battle of Osawatomie. He fired the first shot at the invaders and the only shot that is known to have injured any one of them seriously. He hit one of the Missourians in the mouth with a ball from his Sharpes rifle.

While in Independence, a short time ago he learned who the victim of marksmanship was and what became of him. The man recovered from that wound and was captured by the federal soldiers during the war of the rebellion and shot for bushwhacking. Mr Holmes was anxious to find out what became of the old press used in the "Herald of Freedom" office at this place before the war. At the time of the first battle of Osawatomie it was buried in the saw mill, but he did not know what became of it subsequently nor do we. Can any one tell? Mr.

Holmes is pre paring a history of the campaigns of John Erown and is collecting data for that, purpose. He went from here to Garnett. Last Monday was the twelvth birth day of the Farmers and Mechanic's Bank of this city. The bank is healthy, growing twelve years old too. fn its earlier years it suffered the ills that usually afflict infancy, but it has out grown all of them and is a lusty, hearty institution.

At its organization it had a capital stock of $10,040. Its first officers were Robert Kincaid president, Reuben Smith cashier and Walter Barnes bookkeeper. Their first state ment showed deposits of $10,095. Their last statement showing their financial conditions at the close of business May 31st 1901, shows a capital stock of $20,000 and a surplus of $10,000 with loans and discounts amounting to $102 095.10. Cash and exchange $57,196 03 and deposits amounting to $132,006 30.

The institution has made a great in the twelve years of its exist- ance because the town has made a great growth in that time. The measure of the towns business develop' ment can be found in the bank's state ments from year to year. They mark it as accurately as the rings in a tree show its growth. Its present officers are S. S.

Whiteford president, W. T. Dunaway vice-president, Walter Barnes cashier. The veterans of the civil war were out in force at Ottawa this week attending the re-union. They organized an association of their own in the park Tuesday afternoon with Major Reming ton as chairman, and expect to hold a reunion in the park every year until no more of them are left to enjoy the fraternal hand clasp, or the congenial comradeship of their companions in arms.

They were scolding themselves because they did not organize years ago for the purpose of holding re unions in the park, as it is an ideally lovely place for such meetings and the old soldiers are settled around in this part of Kansas so thickly that they can hold good reunions for a long time yet without any of the comrades having to travel a very longdistance Mr. and Mm. W. S. Churchill and Miss Letha returned'from the east last Monday noon after a very pleasant visit at their old home in Bradford, Pa.

They 6pent some time in Philadelphia and Atlantic City, New Jersey nd put in several days at Buffalo. They were not exactly overwhelmed by the Pan-American exposition, regarding it as a very small concern The misfortune of Buffalo's Exposition is that everybody measures it by the World's Fair at Chicago and no fair or exposition has ever been given in this or any other country that would stand comparison with the Great White City. Labor day was observed here by closing the banks, the postoffice. the barber shops and the printing offices. The company's shops were shut down for the day, only those being employed who cculd not be spared from the work at all.

There were no exercise of any character. A ball game was to have been played between the city nine and the Paul nine on the ball grounds north of the river, but ttie Paola nine failed to put in nn appearance and our fellows can make a big talklhow about what they would have done to them jLL right for the smart men who write nji. for the big dailies to have their little joke about the ice man. They have to live and so does the ice man, and when summer weather comes they all want to see the ice man and see him often. And this pleases Reynolds, the pure ice man, better than any newspaper wit you ever read.

Call him or his drivers if tfyey don't stop. They are on the road to sell ice. iJ rs ri n-' State Bank, KANSAS. 4.. i Under State Supervision.

A motion was made and carried to advertise for bids for the erection of a house over the filter plant at the waterworks, bids to be opened October 2, 1901. A communication was read from Powell Jackson, president of the company that has the filter contract for the water works, asking that he be allowed to file two separate bonds, one covering the construction of the filter and the other covering the filter patent. The request was granted. W. Cook requested an extension of time on the construction of the waterworks to Nov.

15, 1901, for the reason that he has been unable to procure the materail necessary for the work. The mayor said that he would not entertain any motion to extend the time and the matter was dropped. The report of the police judge was read and placed on file. The bills for salaries and expenses were read, referred to the proper committees, reported back, and allowed and warrants drawn as follows: V. V.

Council Proceedings. The council met in regular session in the council chamber Wednesday evening with Mayer Walthall in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. A petition from the free holders living in block twenty praying for the openingof an alley through the block was presented. The prayer of the petition was sranted.

A petition from about 300 free holders of the city praying for a suspension of the proposed work of changing the grade of the streets and sidewalks was presented and discussed at length. Several of the petitioners were present. An animated discussion followed in which members of the coun cil and the citizens present participated. No action was taken however.
