TOUR OF THE GENERALS.
Third Day in Kansas Besins at Inde
pendence Other Pointi Visited.
Independence , Kan. , Oct. 5. The
ex.Union . generals began their third
days' work for McKinley in Kansas
in this city this morning. They spoke
to about 1,000 people at the depot
platform.
General Sickles was the first
speaker. He began by saying they
did not have meetings in his country
until 8 o'clock in the evening. Then
he launched into the money question
and said that there would always be
a majority of people who had not all
they wanted. The trouble was that
there was not money enough to go
round. It had been so since the world
began and would be so until the end
of time. Most men wanted too much
they wanted more than there was.
Quoting from Abraham Lincoln , he
said : "If thy neighbor have a house ,
don't pull it down , but rather build
one for thyself , that thou may be
safe. " He said there was more money
in the United States now than there
ver had been before , more than there
tvas in England. It was not quantity
3f money , but activity of meney and
juality of money that the country
deeded. There was quantity enough
for all our uses.
General Marden told the story of
the Litchfield gals. "I hear you are
jjoing to marry one of them Litchfield
jals , " said an old man to a younger
3tie. "Will they make good wives ? "
"I have tried three of them ? ' "So it
tvas , " Marden said , "with Republican
President's - The country had tried
several of them. "

marks were cut short by the train's
ieparture.

rale , Mound Valley and other points.

the main speech. The party remained

James M. McKelvy Post G. A. H. , . <
of St. Cloud , Minnesota , contains one ]
such , Milton F. Sweet. No man stands , /
higher in the community than does he Mm
and through his strict integrity and 1
honesty of conviction he has won the- m
respect of all who know him. Mr. M
been a real- 1 m
Sweet has for many years

has resided in this city , where- ]
years he Is engaged In the manufacture of ; | H
carpets. He is now fifty-one years or i |
He served in the war three years ]

During the war Mr. Sweet.contracted 1 $ m
heart disease , which was accompaniediAH
by excessive nervousness. As age In- IH
creased his symptoms grew worse and ; . ]
many were the remedies resorted to- i | H
by him without the slightest relief. | }
We will let Mr. Sweet tell the story- | !
in his own words : | | H
"Six months ago. at the suggestion- | | l
of a comrade , who had been benefited , ' *
by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I began ! &
their use , and I very cheerfully statej ) Wm
that they have Invigorated and built ] ]

good way and I have been greatly benefit | ' < f H
ed by their use , where everything elaei I | H
I took failed to give me the relief I I II
sought for. I have recommended
them to a large number of my old ! JH
comrades and It is a pleasure for me /H
to do so , for I feel that the manufact-j ' H
urers are deserving of any good thatj * ,
I can do them in saying a good wordj , H
for their product , in return for the } H
good they have done me. I will gladly ) / .
recommend these pills to any one wrlt-i / * > (
ing me if they doubt the genuiness off '
" '
this statement.
When interviewed , Mr. Sweet felt so > H
grateful for the good that he had re-j
celved through Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills that he did not have the slightest
hesitancy in going on record. His
word Is considered his bond by all who- • H
know him throughout thi3 section. Mr/ H
Sweet is not the only one in Stearns
County who is using this celebrated. H
medicine and with equally good re-
suits. , H

JOSH BILLINGS' PHILOSOPHY. jH
Comik writers are allwuss expected. " /
to be phunny when they talk , and , in 'H '
the effort to be so , are often very silly. . B
Book-larning iz good , but too mutcH jS
ov it konkokts kruditys , which have 'H
been known to sour on the intelektual 'H '
stammuk. H
What little I kno I hav larnt bi mixing - H
ing with the medium and lower klass- H
es ; dimonds and fine gold are oftenest M
found cluss to the bed-rock. „ | H
Mi natur prompts me to make fust H
advances. I hav often been snubbed |
krewelly for this , but I kan't help it , |
kan I ? I shall fite it out on this line. |
Yu kan't allwuss judge bi appear- M
acces. I hav often known a whole J A
shirt to be compozed entirely ov a pa- m\
per collar and a pair ov cotton wrist- fl
bands. M
I hav allwuss notissed that thoze- | H
circles which are the most exklusive H
hav but little individual strength ; mu- r H
tual admirashun iz the pap that sustains - M
tains them. M
I hav generally notissed that the old. H
bachelors who giv themselfs up entirely - H
tirely to the service ov the ladys are | H
illwus ov the nuter gender. The wim- , S
min never fall in luv with theze phel- ! |
lews ; they are too eafe. H
The saddest sight in all the world tofl
me iz a broken-hearted manly man a |
proud and robust oak riven bi Utening * -H
from Heaven. " ' |
