ords from the legal county seat.

SAVED FROM DANGEROUS OPERA-
TION—NEIGHBOR ADVISED WHAT
ID 00 FOR RUDDER TROUBLE
I too wish to add my testimonial to tLs
thousands you Bo doubt hats, and will
toll you what your great mediuae did for
Soeerwl months ago I was taken very
■*ck with bladder trouble, had intents
P*ino and suffered greatly, at times 1
could not stand on my feet or sit in s
chair and often was forced to cry out
I with pain.
I I consulted two doctors who giro ms
different kinds of medicine, w hich did ins
»o good. It arem«d as though the more
of their medicine 1 took, the worse I be-
came. The doctors seemed to be greatly
puuled over my case and after holding a
consultation, 1 was told that I had s
severs caas of inflammation of the bladder
and an operation was very necessary.
I was being prepared to be taken to the
hoNMtal, when n neighbor came to my
house and said, “Why don’t you try s
bottla of Dr. Kilmer's Bwanip-Root?” 1
was willing to try anything to get relief
from my suffering. )ly w ife bought s bot-
tle of your medu-ino which I began taking
•nd soon noticed s change for the better.
I continued taking it and got better right
along, my appetite returned and I was
able to resume work.
1 have used several bottles of Fwamp-
Root and know that if I had not taken it,
I would hava been operated on, and per-
haps never recovered. I never fail to tell
my friends about Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root as I know it will save many people
from suffering and perhaps, as in my
cut, s dangerous operation.
Yours gratefully,
SAMUEL WTLSON,

Personally appeared before me this 24th
day of Sept., 1908, Samuel Wilson, of the

Suicide at Mulvano.
Mulvane, Kan.—Facing the alterna-
tive of obeying her father’s will or mar
rylng the man of her choice, Cath-
eryn Haynes, daughter of the late Dan
Haynes, a pioneer rancher of Cowley
county, shot herself through the heart
at 8 o’clock this morning at the
Haynes ranch about seven miles from
here. The girl killed herself while
her mother and brother, Dan Jr., were
In the yard performing the morning
chores. ,
When Dan Haynes, founder of Red-
bud and owner of a large ranch and
other property worth over |40,000,
died several months ago, he left a
will stipulating that his daughter
should not Inherit any of his estate If
she married William McQultty, a i
young farmer living near Udall. Mc-
Quitty had been an attentive suitor,
but the girl’s parents disliked him.
Haynes declared the young man “too
shiftless” to wed his daughter. Last
night McQultty called at the Haynea
homes. It is presumed he and the
girl dracussed the stipulations of her
father’s will and that possibly a quar-
rel occurred.
The girl had'brooded over the clause
In her father’s will and she was loth
Do give up the young man, and at th«
same time desired to obey the wishes
of her father.. The coroner of Cowley
county was summoner, but no inquest
was held.
Plain aa Day.
A man recently visited the art
museum in Chicago and wandered
about, looking at the paintings with
more or less interest. He finally
stopped in front of a portrait which
showed a man sitting In a high-backed
chair. There was a small white card
on the picture, reading:
"A portrait of E. H. Smith, by him-
self.”
The man read the card and then
chuckled to himself.
“What fools these city folks are!”
he said. “Anybody who looks at that
picture would know Smith’s by him-
self. There ain’t any one else in the
picture."—Chicago Tribune.
Time for 8tillness.
Mrs. Mac Lachlan was kind to her
American boarder, but she did not pro-
pose to allow her to overstep the lim-
its of a boarder's privileges, and she
made It very clear.
One Sunday the boarder, returning
from a walk, found the windows of her
room, which she had left wide open,
tightly closed.
“Oh, Mrs. MacLarhlan, I don’t
like my room to get stuffy,” she said,
when she went downstairs again. “I
like plenty of fresh air.”
“Your room will na’ get stuffy In
one day,’’ said her landlady firmly.
" ’Twas never our custom, miss, to hae
freBh air rooshin’ about the house on
the Sawbath.”—Youth's Companion.
On Trail of Robsl Leader.
El Paso, Tex.—The self-styled pro-
visional president of Mexico J'rancisco
I. Madero, Is In El Paso, unless he has
slipped out in the last 24 hours. So
confident are the United States offi-
cials that the directing heattf of the
Mexican revolution Is still here that
they had a warrant Issued this after-
noon for his arrest.
The warrant was Issued by United
States Commissioner George B. Oliver.
The Issue of the warrant came as the
result of the capture of papers on the
person of Martin Saslllas, a revolu-
tionary leader, as he was returning to
Mexico Sunday from a visit to El
Paso. The papers were in the hand-
writing of Madero and were signed by
him. All were dated February 12 at
El Paso.
The warrant charges that Madero
planned an armed military expedition
•gainst a friendly nation and caused
arms and ammunition to be sent Into
Mexico from the United States In vio-
lation of the neutrality and customs
laws.
The United States troops and all
United States marshals on the border
have been given orders to make the

Has an Old Ralic of Washington.
One of the moat Interesting relics of
George Washington la owned by the
city of Salem. It Is a medallion in
wood, carved after • sketch from life.
The same artist executed both
sketch and carving, which gives the
relic added value. He was Samuel Mc-
Intlre, native gcuiua with a gift for
portraiture. He atudied Washington
when the father of his country visited
Salem on his tour of the cast, and
niade the medallion shortly afterward,
to adorn the arch over the west en-
trance of Washington square, Salem.
Here the effigy remained from 1807
until 1850, when the arch was taken
down to give place to an Iron fence,
still in use.
This Washington relic is kept In the
fireproof room at the Essex Institute,
Salem, where It Is frequently studied
by artists and others as an odd and
striking likeness of the great Ameri-
can whom no two artists pictured
alike.—Boston Globe.

How Pat Proved It.
An Irishman was once serving In a
regiment in India. Not liking the
climate, Pat tried to evolve a trick by
which he could get home. Accordingly
he went to the doctor and told him
his eyesight was bad. The doctor
looked at him for a while and then
said:
“How can you prove to me that
your eyesight Is bud?”
Pat looked about the room and at
last said: “Well, doctor, do ye see
that nail on the wall?"
’’Yes,” replied the doctor.
"Well, then,” replied Pat, “I can’t.”

Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
Is the best of ell medicines for the cure of diseases,
disorders and weaknesses peculiar to women. It is the
only preparation of its kind devised by e regularly gradu-
ated physician—an experienced end skilled specialist in
the diseases of women.
It Is ■ safe medicine in any condition of the system.
THE ONE REMEDY wUsk contains no aloohol
•nd no injurious habit-forming drugs and which
creates no craving for each stimulants.
THE ONE REMEDY so good that he
nro not afraid to print ha over
oooh outside bottle-wrapper and attest to the
_ truthfulness of the eame under oath.
It is sold by medicine dealers everywhere, and any dealer who hasn’t it can
get it. Don’t take a substitute of unknown composition for this medicine or
inown composition. No counterfeit is es good es the genuine and the druggist
who says something else is “just as good as Dr. Pierce's” is either mistaken
or is trying to deceive you for his own selfish benefit. Such • men is not to be
trusted. He is trifling with your most priceless possession—your health—
m*Y be your life itself. St* mot you get what yon otk for.
