The most interesting affair of honor which
it has been our pleasure to witness in a long
time occurred last Sunday in the round
house. One of the principals , an old man ,
but spry an "hugly" the other a young man ,
innocent of any wrong , but always getting
into trouble , and furthermore being the
proud possessor of a "game leg" which has
been drawing a living for him for the past
nine months. The aforesaid leg was all that
saved him from the old man and destruction.
The way he flew over engine pilots , around
Sharp corners , and through space was a
caution , and Bailey was urging him to get a
"limp on it" but he didn't have time 'till the
next day. Both somewhat scratched up but
good for another go.

EPOCH.
The transition from long , lingerinff and pain
ful sickness to robust health marks an epoch
in the life of the individual. Such a remarka
ble event is treasured in the memory and the
agency whereby the good health has been at
tained is greatf ully blessed. Hence it is that
so much is heard in praise of Eleetrio Bitters.
So many feel they owe their restoration to
health to the use of the great alterative and
tonic. If you are troubled with any disease
of kidneys , liver or stomach of long or short
standing you will surely find relief by use of
Electric Bitters. Sold at 50 cents and $1 per
bottle at A. McMillan's drug store.

A Military Reservation in Early
Kansas Days.
All along the outer margin of the reservation
were grouped the camps of emigrants ; not
many of them , but enough to present a
curious and picturesque steht. There were a
few tpnts , but most of the emigrants slept in
or under their wagons. There were no women
or children in these camps , and the hardy men
had been so well seasoned by their past exper
iences , journing to this far western -part of
the territory , that they did not mind the ex
posure of sleeping on the ground and under
the open skies. Soldiers irom the fort , off
duty and curious to hear the news from the
outer worldcamcloungingaroundthe camps ,
and chatted with the emigrants in that cool ,
superior manner that markes the private sol
dier when he meets a civilian on an equalfoot
ing , away from the haunts of men. The boys
regarded these uniformed military servants
of the government of the United States with
great respect , and even with some awe. These ,
they thought to themselves , were the men
who were there to fight Indians , to protect
the border , and to keep back the rising tide
of wild hostilities that might , if It were not
for them , sweep down upon the feeble terri
tory and even inundate the whole western
country. NOAH BROOKS IN JANUART ST.

The Pulpit and the Stage.
Rev. F. M. Shrout , Pastor United Brethren
Church. Blue Mound , Kan. , says : "I feel it
my duty to tell what wonders Dr. King's New
Discovery has done for me. My lunga were
badly diseased , and my parishioners thought
I could live only a few weeks. I took five bottles
tles of Dr. King's New Discovery and am
sound and well , gaining 26pounds in weight. "
Arthur Love , Manager Love's Funny Folk's
Combination , writes : "After a thorough trial
and convincing evidence , I am confident Dr.
King's New Discovery for Consumption , beats
'em all , and cures when everything else fails.
The greatest kindness I can do my many
thousand friends is to urge them to try it. "

THE BEST medical writers claim that the suc
cessful remedy for nasal catarrh must be nonirritating -
irritating , easy of application , and one that
will reach all remote sores and ulcerated sur
faces. The history of the efforts to treat
catarrh during the past obliges us to admit
that only one remedy has met these condi
tions , and that is Ely's Cream Balm. This
pleasant remedy has mastered catarrh as
nothing else has ever done , and both physic
ians and patients freely concede this fact.
The more distressing symptons yield to it.
