CORPORATIONS

under the bene-

ficient system of concessions to organized capital now in vogue in this very prosperous country, claim to have rights allowed to no others on earth, and ride rough shod over the Jaw and trample the rights of others into the dust. The Clover

Leaf railroad is now knee deep in trouble up at Wingate. That road has for som-time maintained a stock pen right in the center of the town, I

^nCi t'le smeil from the affair lids ftl" most ruined the olfactories of the iowu. TLe company has persistently refused to remedy the matter, but on the other hand has furnished water for the hogs to wallow in, thus adding insult to injury. Complaint has beeh made to the county health officer and he has turned the tuatto over to the prosecuting attorney, and perhaps the stiff and independent corporation will be forced to dance to the rag time tune of a common citizen who gets into court on such a charge.

The Date, Nov. 14.

Ofi November 14, between midnight asfi sunrise, will occur the long-her-alded shower of meteors that woniderful phenomena which comes with promptness every 33 years, on schedule time, rain or shine. The last shower occurred in the 1866, and was a marvelous display. On this occasion, it is said by astronomers that the stars will fall in myriads, and the shower will continue for several hours. Scientists from all over the world will be in America to examine and study the Leonids, as the phenomena will be confined to this continent. It would be well for all who would enjoy seeeing these wonderful natural fireworks to prepare to make a night of it on Nov. 14.

Broken Bridge.

TV N iron bridge over Black Creek, II near the Endean place, broke in (H two in the middle Monday afternoon and fell into the water below, bearing down with the wreck Ira Snyder, a team of mules and a wagon loaded with corn fodder. Outside of a few scratches and bruises to mules and man there were 110 casualties worth recording. This was a catastrophe not down on the bills when the County Council held its meeting.

.. Elected Officers. rfXTURDAY last the amateur photographers of the city met in IJ conclave and organized with the following officers: Prof. M. B. Thomas, president Fred Gregg, vice president Miss May Kline, secretary Miss Lenore Barnhill, treasurer. The organization is preparatory to the amateur exhibition of photographic work to be given later on, and the officers elected will act as an executive committee to prepare for that event.

take the right remedy to restore her to true womanly health. Most men don't know that when a woman is weak, nervous, irritable and despondent, there is invariably something radically wrong with the delicate feminine organs with which her entire physique is in sensitive touch. There is one, and just one remedy, tried and proven, that -will put things right when the feminine organism is weak or diseased. It is Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It restores perfect health to, the weakened organs, and makes them strong, clean and virile. It makes wifehood happy, and motherhood easy. It banishes morning sickness and all other discomforts that precede maternity. It makes labor light, short and almost painless. It helps to make real "new women." An honest druggist won't urge upon vou a substitute.

soldier and about the hospitals their1 cheerful presence and deft nursing gave comfort to many a wounded boy. In the letters written to home folk by the Kansas iY£'"Eded we find mentioned the names of Mrg, uiiStfilL TYjf® of colonel Mrs. SciiliflMn, wjie 01 chaplain: Mrs. feqchan, wife 0? the Kansas City captain Mrs. Whitman, wife of the junior magor, and perhapl n.ore frequently yet the names of Mil* tradner a_p£ ^liss Oliie O'Brien. Miss •.•aanei' went from Kaneas tj India fc verai years ago ail ft missionary? With the breaking out gf the Spaniafr v,:ir she proceeded to Hongkong find then, after Manila had fallen, to the Philippine capital, where she at once installed herself as a nurse in the Twentieth Kansas. She kept at the front with the boys all through the late campaign and applied the first relief to all the wonnded that came within ber reach. It is related by one Kansas boy that during one of ^the fierce engagements this young woman sat by his side in the trenches, coolly passing cartridge* to him as fast as he could fire.

Miss Ollie O'Brien is a Topeba,girl who went to Manila last summer on pleasure bent. She accompanied Mrs. Stutensburg, wife of a regular army officer who is now serving with the volunteers from Nebraska. When the wonnded commenced to come from the front, she volunteered to go into the hospital as a nurse, and she has attended to her duties faithfully and well Miss O'Brien is naturally of the army. When a bit of a babe, she was adopted Into the family of Captain M. O'Brien, and the people of Hays City remember well the pretty little girl who used to flit about their town when the captain was stationed at the nearby fort.

Miss O'Brien is tasting for the first time in her life the delight of being something in tbe world besides a social favorite. She writes to friends that there is no other word but "glorious." She is learning to be thrilled by the crash of guns, the tramp of men and the blast of bugle. The flag is no longer a pretty rag fluttering in the whilom breezes—it is the soul of a nation, speak ing its serious thoughts. When she wraps the wounds of patriots, she feels that she is soothing the hurts of her country, and tbe strength and broadness of it are coining to her like a great light out of darkness. All of this Miss O'Brien tells in her letters, and she says she is not shocked nor grieving, but happy— fiercely happy.—Kansas City Journal

STENGEL DEFENDS WAR.

Views of a German Professor and Delegate to the Peace Conference.

Professor Stengel, one of the German delegates to the coming peace conference at The Hague, has recently published an article which is strikingly at variance with the ideal that he was nominated to discuss. His view is that eternal peace ought in nowise to be the aim of culture The assertion that war is opposed to civilization, art, science and industry is utterly wrong. It ie not the intellectual achievements of a nation that decide its fate, but its belligerent strength. "War," says Professor Stengel "ia an educational necessity. It has its mission in the promotion of culture. The agitation of tbe friends of peace is a pernicious sentiment and its fantastic efforts are no mere valuable than the Utopian schemes of Thomas Moore and Edward Bellamy."

For this reason, Professor Stengel says, no peace conference, even at the suggestion of the czar, will be able to give eternal peace. On the contrary, such meeti&gs harbor some danger, as they may tend more clearly to reveal conflicting interests. It is not known whether the article was written prior or subsequent to Professor Stengel's appointment. —Special Cable to New Tnrlr Bun. 1

A spanita street scene.

In nothing is the illiterate condition of Spain shown as in the numerous writing booths which line the streets of Barcelona. Spain has preserved much of the picturesque life of past ages, and even at the present day in many of it? towns may bo seen the watchman, with pike and lantern, going his nightly rounds not far from a fine street brilliantly illuminated by the electrio light

In the Rartilrta, the principal street of Barcelona, may b? seen several of* thes? writing .booths of the public scribes There for a sinail consideration the illiterate or any one else may have anything indited from the poetry of a love epistle to the prosaic application for a situation. The front of each booth is placarded with the name of tlje scribe and the services he is prepared to render ty bis customers. Soise scribes combine the art of painting with that of writing and all add to their activities the business of registry offices for serv ants.

"A Female

In St. Paul's churchyard, in Alexandria, Va., is a marble tombstone bearing this inscription^ To the memory of a female stranger -v Bow loved, how honored once avails thee not To whom related or by whom begot A heap of dust alone remains of thee. 'Tia all thou art, and all (he proud shall be.

This strange inscription raised nanek conjecture. The facts, as nearly

fca

known, are that in May, 1816, a man and a beautiful girl, accompanied by 8 valet, arrived at Alexandria in an English vessel They shunned every ona Five months afterward the girl died. The husband staid long enough to erect a monument, left a sum of money to repair it and then sailed away and was never heard of again. Several novels have been founded upon this sad and romantic incident

An Uncomfortable Soper»tltlou.

A very uncomfortable superstition prevails in the Minieh province in Egypt. Whenever a pigeon house is be made, the fellahin consider that the pottery used in its construction Bhould be baked by the help of a human body. A pigeon house was to be erected recently at the village of Beni Somrook in this province, and this necessary preliminary of its construction was not forgotten. A young child was first caught and in spite of its struggles was put in an oven and burned alive while the pottery was baked with the aid of tnis human holocaust. Two men. one of them a potter by trade, have beenwrested on suspicion of having taken part in this old custom.—CamEgyptian Gazetta

Just because this happens to be the most up-to-date and best equipped store in the state is no reason why the man or woman less blessed with this world's goods than their neighbors should not have been thought of in the collection of this vast stock of merchandise, and is lio reason why all people should not trade here if they wish the newest and best goods for their money. We are "not exclusive except in the styles we shotv, and in this connection we wish to say that we. exercisc just as much care in the selection of prints ta sell at 4c per yard as we do in the selection of our finest dress goods and silks. This, together with the fact that this store is large enough to command the latest and best the market affords, is the reason our merchandise is the best and handsomest shown for the*price. ....
