"When Stayner hears that Spanish guns
Are firing at our ships ,
You'll see him toeing toward the north
And packing up his grips ;

Well versed in legal lore

THE ST. FRANCIS BRANCH.
Atwood , Kansas , April 28. Special :
The patriotic fever has struck Atwood.
Flaunting flags , bunting and streamers
play in the breeze. A big flag has been
ordered for the court house. Atwood is
an American town , conspicuous for its
intelligence , loyalty and patriotism.
0The people along this line are grateful
to the B. & M. officials for running the
trains on time and placing on the branch
two good engines.
The prospects for the coming season
are bright. The damp , backward spring
is making wheat thrive. The acreage is
much larger than last jear.
Dr. York of Atwood contemplates
getting up a company of infantry for
the Spanish-American war. The doctor
is an old veteran and there is no doubt
of his success.
The trains are no longer late on the
branch , two splendid engines , Nos. 121
and 163 hauling them now. Extra after
extra has has been sent to carry the
stock , and it is said a dozen loads of cat
tle and hogs have been shipped within
the last two weeks. Two or three freight
extras are sent weekly to relieve the
regular trains. One can but faintly im
agine the wonderful stock resources of
the Beaver valley with her 30,000 acres
of alfalfa now carpeting the valley in
emerald hues. "The Flower of all the
Burlington Branches" is the name she
will be given.
A patriotic meeting was held in At
wood , Monday night , being the i6th an
niversary of the W. R. C. A very pleas
ant evening was enjoyed. Supt. Bye
spoke on the flag , Revs. Bone and Dixon
and Hon. A. Hemming spoke on their
experiences during the civil war. The
choir sang war songs and the young
boys and girls rendered recitations. Mrs.
Loofborrow declaimed "Blowing up the
Maine" in masterly manner. It was a
patriotic love feast ; patriotism was in
the air. Old Glory waved in triumph
both in front and rear of the Congrega
tional church where the exercises were
held.
The two-year-old son of W. L , . Furga-
son , of Bolton , Mississippi , had whoop

had prescribed for him without giving
him relief , " writes Mr. Furgason , "I
persuaded my wife to try a 25 cent bottle
of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. The
first dose had the desired effect , and in
forty-eight hours he , was entirely free
from all cough. I consider your remedy
the best in the market , especially for
children , and recommend it at all times. "
