"Cincinnati, April 26, 1898 Honor to whom honor is due. Without any solicitation on the part of the Dr. B. J. Kay Medical Co.

or any one else, I hereby certify that the Dr. Kay's Renovator and Kidneycura, prepared by the Dr. B. J. Kay.

Medical have done for me what 17 doctors and a score of patent medicines have failed to do. DR. KAY'S Mrs. George S. Colby, of offeyville, arrived in the city on Satnrday morning and will spend the week visiting old friends and acquaintances.

She is the guest of Mrs. Harlan, of GOO North Seventh street. i i Bank Commissioner Bridenthal has compiled a list of banks which he calls his list of honor which have a surplus squal to or in excess of the legal requirement. The Merchants Bank of this city is included in this list. The Advisory Board of the Kansas City University will hold a golden rod reception at the residence of Chancellor Stephens, 802 North Seventh street, to-morrow, Friday, September 23, 1898.

Programme at 8 o'clock p. m. J. V. Andrews, president of the Merchants Bank, returned Tuesday morning from a three weeks' trip to Ohio and Indiana, where he went to visit his brother and sisters.

He says he had a pleasant visit and enjoyed it greatly. Congressman McCleary, of Miunesota, spoke at the Republican tent on Huron Place on Mouday night. He made a very good speech but somehow the people are not interested in political speaking this year and the crowd in attendance was rather small. RENOVATOR. I can't find words to tell the condition of my stomach, liver and kidneys.

Constipation, headache and pains in every joint in my body was an every day occurrence, and at timet so severe that I could not walk or hardly see. Among the multitude of medicines advertised in the papers I read of Dr. B. J. Kay's and sent for it, and I can't say enough in its praise.

If you have any of those old complicated ailments, do as I have done and you will thank me fortius advice and feel under everlastiug obligations to the Dr. B.J. Kay Medicial Co. I am fifty-two years old and Berved under Sherman in the war since the war I have preached thirty years. I have no object in making this statement only to benefit my friends and-brethren among whom I have preached the gospel, and to help them to have the best system renovator in the world introduced among the -people.

Your friend, James. A. Miss Alice Donaldson in attempting to cross the track in front of an incoming passenger train on the Maple Leaf road, at Eleventh street, on Thursday morning last, was struck by the pilot and thrown from the track. Her shoulder blade and four of her ribs were broken and she was considerably bruised in addition. One of her ribs penetrated her lungs and her recovery is a matter of doubt.

She saw the -train coming but wanted to catch a street car on the opposite side of the railroad track. If peo pie would only stop to think that there is always plenty of time to cross railroad tracks after a train goes by many of them would not be crippled and all of them would stand a better chance of living and many of these accidents would be avoided. People learn from experience and sometimes experience is a costly affair. By the provisions of the State textbook law the time for exchange of textbooks expired last June, but the Superintendent and the Board have made special arrangements with the publishers by which the following exchanges may be made the first week of school: Werner's Primer for the Student's First Reader; Hyde's Language Books, either No. 1 or 2, for TilIotson'r8 Grammar; Eggleston's Elementary United States History for the Excelsior Fourth Reader; Wentworth's First Steps in Algebra for Collins's Algebra; Walsh's Elementary Arithmetic for Belfield's Revised Model Elementary Arithmetic.

Parents should Ihj ready to purchase text-books, but should not purchase till they receive written orders- from the teachers. This is necessary to prevent mistakes. no pupil should be without textbooks at the end of the first week of school. As no wood-chopper would think of presenting himself before his employer without an ax, so no parent should permit his children to be in school without text-books. Nothing is so annoying to the tacher or discouraging to the pupil.

Superintendent Wolfe feels that the purchase of text-books and the classification of pupils are the things to emphasize the first week, and he has, therefore, arranged to receive daily reports from all the schools, giving the names of pupils who are not provided with text-books. It cures when everything else fails. Sold by druggists at 25 cents and $1. If they don't have it, don't take any substitute, but send direct to us and we; will seud it by mail.

The expected has happened, and yellow fever has attacked our troops at Santiago. The first reports that were permitted to reach the 'public were dated July 12, on which day there were 14 new cases. Within three or four days after that the total number of cases to date was admitted to have been upward of 300, so that it is certain that the disease has been among the troops for some time, probably having attacked them almost immediately after the landing was made.

The policy of concealment was wholly justifiable at -that time, for a conf ession of the truth would have served no purpose in protecting the home ports, and would Rimply have encouraged the Spaniards to delay surrender, and would have caused unavailing anxiety and discouragement at home. All the accounts of the epidemic agree that the disease is in an unusually mild form, by far the greater number of those attacked recovering after the normal period of not very great Among the sufferers were very many of the Red Cross surgeons and nurses, all of whom, so far as is known, have entirely recovered or are convalescent. Many immune surgeons and nurses are on the way now to Santiago, and will be assigned to the fever hospitals immediately upon their arrival. Now that there is no human enemy in our way, our sanitary officers in the conquered province have an excellent opportunity to give to the world an object lesson in cleanliness. And we are perfectly confident that, with the filth of Santiago destroyed houses cleaned and disinfected, the infected huts burned, and our camps removed, to the hills as far as that may be possible.

Gen. Vomito Negro will follow the lead of Gen. Toral and wield to the inevitable. We have always believed that the chief reward to our country for undertaking this modern crusade against the Saracen, and one that will fully compensate us for expenditure of blood and money, will be the liberation of our southern states from the constant menace of yellow fever. We are fighting not only for the freedom of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, but for the freedom of America from Spanish disease.

The accomplishment of the first object is almost realized, and that of the second is plainly in sight. It is not expected, however, that this glorious victory can be won without a struggle, and we therefore welcome the battle which is now on, fearful indeed that. the los.s may be heavy, yet with no misgiving as to the outcome of the contest.

Some Queer Stories Related of Extremely Old People In England Long Ago, Not all of the centenarians were paragons all the virtues. Thomas Whittington, for example, who lived to be 104, was a habitual drunkard, drinking only London gin, of which he consumed from a pint to a pint and a half daily. Philip Laroque went to bed drunk at least two nights in the week until he was 100. At 92 he cut four new -teeth. John de la Somet, 130 years old, was an inveterate smoker.

Several famous old people were extremely addicted to matrimony. Owen Duffy, who lived to be 122, married his third wife at 116, "by whom he had a son and a daughter." Francis Hongo, a Venetian, was five times married, and was the father of 49 children. At the age of 100 his white hair fell out and a new crop of the original color came in. At the age of 112 he had two new teeth. Margaret Krasiowna, a Pole, married her third husband at 94.

"She bore to him two sons and a daughter, as proved by the parish register." Margaret McDowal, 106 years old, married and survived 13 husbands. Among the recorded centenarians are two dwarfs Mary Jones, 100 years, who was two feet eight inches in height and terribly deformed and Elspeth Watson, 115 years old, who was two feet nine inches in height. Among the most agile were Mrs. Barrett, who, at the age of 116, climbed a ladder to repair the roof of her cottage, and Elizabeth Alexander, who was particular about dress at 108, and was U3ed to a daily walk of two miles. Several had peculiar habits.

Mrs. Lewson, 117 years old, never washed her face for fear of taking cold, but greased it with hog's lard. John Hussey, 116 years, drank only balm tea as a beverage. John Wilson, the same age, supped always off roasted turnips. Judith Banister, 100, lived entirely on biscuit, bread and apples during the last 60 years of her life.

Old Lord Scarsdale and Lord Comber-mere, both of whom lived to a ripe age, thought the wearing of a tight belt habitually about the waist had much to do with their excellent health. Macklin, the centenarian actor, abandoned regular hours of eating in the last 67 years of his life, taking' food when he was hungry. Two interesting married couples are reported. Mr. and Cotterell, aged respectively 120 and 115 years, were married 98 years and "never had a quarrel." They died within a few hours of each other.

John Rovin, a Hungarian, and his wife, aged 172 and 164 years, lived together 148 years. At the- time of the husband's death the youngest son was 116 years old. North American Review.

Iu 1857 he was united in marriage with Miss Frauces Grinter, a member of the Delaware tribe of Indians.

Stephens and Mrs. Siduey Smith. In addition to his immediate family one brother, Daniel W. Grinter, of this city, aud two sisters, Miss Betty Grinter and Mrs. Martha A.

Guun, both residing in Cadiz, Trigg county, Kentucky, survive him. Mr. Grinter resided in the immediate vicinity of where he first settled on coming to Kansas until his death. His wife being a member of the Delaware nation entitled her to an allotment of iand in the Delaware Reserve as also their children, who were born previous to the time said allotment was made. Mr, Grinter bought numerous tracts from the late Colonel Len T.

Smith and others, some of which he sold and traded to other parties. The eighty acres on which he had his homestead we believe, was alloted to his daughter, Mrs. Mooney, but he traded another eighty to her for it in order to get his land in a compact body.

Melissa Alice Curry Stephens, wife of Clayton B. Stephens, an engineer on the Union Pacific railway, died on Monday afternoon, September 19, 1898, at their home, 718 Ferry street, after a lingering illness from a complication of diseases. About five years ago she had one or two slight paralytic strokes and since that time her health has been somewhat precarious. In her last illness her friends had strong hopes of her recovery up to the' very" last, but God willed otherwise and she was called to join her loved ones who had gone before. Melissa Alice Curry was born at South Trenton, N.

January 31, 1848. In 1863 she came to Pacific, where she resided until 1865 when she came to Kansas and settled in Wyandott. In 1868 she was united in marriage with Clayton B. Stephens and became the mother of three children, due daughter, Miss Gertrude, who died in November, 1891, and two sons, George Curry Stephens aud Edwin S. Stephens.

The deceased was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, possessed of an amiable disposition and of domestic habits. In her residence of a third of a century iu this city she drew around her a large circle of friends who admired her for her many excellent qualities and genuine worth. She was very discreet and if circ imstances were such that she could not consistently say a good word for an acquaintance she would refrain from saying anything. As a wife she was loving and affectionate aud as a mother lender and devoted.

Religious services were held at St. Paul's Church yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Bennett officiating, after which her remains were taken to Oak Grove cemetery and laid beside those of her beloved daughter, Gertrude. Henry McGrew and family and George and Archie Watson have movtd to Kansas City, Mo.

The removal is made so that as non residents of Kansas they may bring suit against Wyandott county in the Federal courts for the recovery of that 60,000 bill they claim to have for services iu defending thecounty in certain suits instituted against it for collection of road certificates issued under what is known as the Buchan road law. In filing this bill against the county the boys made a fatal mistake, which they will fully understand later on, and in moving to a foreign State they have committed a serious blunder, Burt Hider, the 11-year-old son of Richard Hider, of 1302 North Fifth street, in company with some playmates went on a fishing excursion on Friday afternoon and got separated from his companions "and failed to return home.

Tracks in the soft bank leading from where he laid them to the river were found which clearly indicate that he was drowred. The Missouri river is a treacherous stream and boys should avoid it as they would a pestilence.

If incorporated its streeis could be graded and lighted and sidewalks built and fire protection provided for by general taxatiou, which would be a very decided improvement. In addition to the above it would furnish an opportunity for a number of men to make a living without resorting to manual labor.

But seriously, Bonner Springs has arrived at a point in its history when these improvements must be made or she will cease to advance. The only way to secure them is to incorporate and this means an increase in taxes, but property owners can well afford to pay for the pleasure afforded by good streets, sidewalks, street lamps and other conveniences and Hay Fever.

THE S. S. HcCLURE 200 East 25th New York Alfalfa, Kafir Corn and Sorghum. Three forage plants which are much appreciated and are constantly growing in appreciation, in Kansas, are alfalfa, Kafir corn and the saccharine sorghums. Practically until 1891 there no acreage of alfalfa.

In that year the State Board of Agriculture had assessors make the first enumeration of it, when there was 34,384 acres. The Secretary of the Board has just finished the compilation of this year's returns, which show an aggregate of 231,538 acres, an increase of 60,000 acres, or 35 per cent, over last year, and an increase since 1891 of 573 per cent. This gain suggests the estimate in which alfalfa is held as a hay and seed crop, and considering the fact of its yielding from two to four cuttings each season, and being perennial, the area sown it is likely to be largely increased from year to year in the future. Statistics of Kafir corn acreage were first gathered in 1893, when 46,9 LI acres were reported. The increase in' the five succeeding years has been 488,832 acres, or 1042 per cent.

The acreage of the present year is 535,743, an increase over last year of 163,905, or more than 44 per cent. This like the saccharine sorghums, is planted not only for the forage it yields but for the 20 up to 50 bushels of seed or grain that it yields per acre, which is found to have about the same value for feed as Indian corn. The saccharine sorghums are each year given larger attention as forage plants, and are now raised well nigh exclusively for feed, instead of for syrup or sugar making as This year the area planted was 388,259 acres, or 10 per cent, more than in 1897. The gain since 1893 has been nearly 194 per cent. As each one of the plants mentioned thrives especially well nearly every year in the western half of the State, or where Indian corn is not always a reliable crop, on accouut of altitude or lack of timely rainfall, they constitute important and very valuable adjuncts to the successful growing and fattening of cattle, sheep, swine and poultry in those sections.

A King Taken for a Gambler. In an excedingly interesting article in the September Ladies' Home Journal William Perrine describes the suspicion that increased in the mind of the captain of the vessel which was bringing to America, in the fall of 1796, a mysterious passenger who had come aboard at Hamburg, and goes on to tell what hap-p one day when this passenger said "'Sir, this is not the first occasion, upon which I have observed the attentive scrutiny you bestow upon me.
