GENTLEMEN:—Leaving Butler May | 31, I found as I run north a very dif- | ferent climate, and the further north the cooler it grew. It is well for us at | times to visit other points, so we can | more fully appreciate our own home. { Old Missouri is all right, and no pee-| le under the dominion of Uncle Sam Eas more reason to be thankful than they have. One thing I noticed and that isthe growingcrop. Corn espe- | t | Frem the Chilly North. | | | cine vou s! cially, even in Kansas, is more back- ward than in Missouri, and eastern Nebraska is considerably behind. There are thousands of acres along the creek and river bottoms that are not plowed yet and will not be put into any crop this year. Iowa is very backward. I have been driving over two days circulating our paper, and have traveled over considerable terri- tory and find that the eropin general is at best two to three weeks late, with considerable ground not plowed at this date. Things here look like corn will net be sold for 8¢ to 12}¢ per bushel, and men that have corn crib- bed are realizing that it is on a point when a continuation of cold weather meansadvanced prices. Leaving the roses in full bloom and fading, to find a few half grown fellows here trying to get out of their shell is a fair com- parison of the two places—old Mis- souri and Iowa. They may talk about our old mossback but she is all right, and any one that is dissatisfied better take a trip north and enjoy the breezes here. I will leave here for Des Moines and eastern lowa to-night. Yours Respectfully J. U. BRUNER.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kid- neys. When urine stains linen it is itive evidence of kidney trouble. ‘oo frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney rem- edy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, blad- der and every part of the urinary passages. It corzects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that un- pleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Shybar 2 Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If youneed a medi- ould have the best. Sold by an se price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and jet both sent free by mail. Mention WEEKLY and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &Co., Bingeaspton; N.Y.

Colean was caeh+ ier of the state tank at Ft Seott, and in the winter of 1896 he was. sentenced to five years in the state penitentiary for embezzling $58,000. of the money of the institutiom— His friends claim he did#not = steal the money, but speculated: ; with it having no intention of de franding anybody.
