' On another pago of this paper will bo found a contribution on the subject 'of a volunteer lire department tlwit seems to- us to havo a lot of good sense. Tho writer of this lottcr certainly chooses the right word when ho speaks of tho tnan who sold the flro outfit to tho lato un-lamentcd city administra tion, "a hypnotist." It seems in credible that sano men, in full posses sion of their faculties, cotildhavdbeen persuaded to Invest nearly $3000 in tho gaudy and cumbersomo apparatus which ovcrybody now recognizes as a whlto elephant. In tho first place tho machine is too heavy. It was nover intended for use anywhere except on paved streets. In tho second placo it cost too much. It is nothing but a chemical engino and a hose cart. The city has ono chemical engine. If it needed another it could have bought it for a thousand dollars. And It could navo bought hoo carts for forty dollars a pieco. For at least a thous and dollars less than this machine cost apparatus could lmvo been bought worth twice as much in light ing a llro. In? tho third placo tho apparatus entails a continuing e. ponso out of all proportion to tho ser vice It over seems likely to render. As now constituted tho department will cost at least $1200 a year. It is no wonder tho now council, which is composed of business men, Is appalled at tho prospect and Is seeking somo way out. A cms cry Piercc9 the mother's heart like a sword. Often the mother who would do every thing for the little one she loves, Is ut terly impotent to help nnd finds no help in physicians. That was the case v.itii Mrs. puuean, whose little one was almost uuuu wuu scrofula. Hut fortunately she was led to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery and so .cured the child without resorting to n painful operation. The great blood purlfying proper ties of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery have been proved over and over ngnln in cases of scrofula, eczema, eruptions and other diseases which are caused by an impure condition of the blood. It entirely eradicates the poisons which feed disease, nnd builds up the body with sound, healthy flesh. ttle dnujthter become afflicted with which affected her eyes," w rites Mrs,.

They are easy to take and thorough in action. n An Interesting1 Story of the "Davo" Jlcatty Won out nt Rcriiunoiit. Wny AN OLD TLiE LAWYER Tho following sketcli of ono of tho pioncor lawyers of Allen county will bo road with much Interest by thoso who wero acquainted with tho subject of it. Tt was written by Hon. L. W. Keplinijcr and is taken from tho chap ter on "Tho Bench and Bar of Allen county" which will appear in tho "History of Allen and Woodson coun tlcs"now in press in tho ItnaiSTUK of fice Tho book will have a thousand -pages and this extract is published . partly to suggest that if you have not subscribed for the book you would better not put it oil any longer. "Mr. Eli Gilbert, came wet so early eastern origin didn't count. Ho origin ated in Morgan county, Ohio, in 1821, Und afterwards camo to tho thon fron tier in Iowa, uhero ho remained until 1859 wheno he camo to Allen County. IIo also was an orator, though not of tho Wendell Phillips type, und for sovoral years, over a wldo extent of territory, his peculiar frontier oratory was largely a substitute for law libra ries. To it now-eomoraud prospective client who wishes his services, not to as-jl.t in tho trial, but becauso of his reputod influence over juries, ho thus gravely gavo rates. "Forn fowsenslblo remarks I charge $1,0,00: for a speech SJC.00; but ono of my regular 'boll roarer. it will cost yottij.00."lt may bo mldejl, however that whichovor var iety was contracted for, it was tho last mentioned which was always forth coming. To tho otornal envy of all future Allon County lawyers, let ono incident in Judgo Gilbert's career bo r;souol from oblivion. Tho necessi ties of a caso required that tho jury should bo convinced tho prosecuting witness had bittenoll'hlsown ear. Tho .Tudgo's oloquencerose totho occasion. Verdict' "not guilty." Howas kindly disposed toward all men, convivial, full of jokes, stories and reminiscences, especially of a personal nature. Shako spoaro's most pleasing character, who was in some respects n feeblo imitator of the Judgo, will never know how lone some ho has boon all tlie-p your until Eli Gilbert comas to swap aftio-blogrii-phlcs with him in tlin land of shade Judgo Gllbart was at ono tlimlVob vt Judgo of Allen County. Ho also rep-' resonted his district ono term in the legislature, whora ha votod for ilio , right man for United Statos Senator and, as a consequence, received tin . appointment as lU'eoivor of tho United Statos Lund Oilleo, in the western j part of tho statu. Ilu-ls now nouiing Ills cud at Lawroncn KiinMis, and all who over know him will wlh him null. TIIATTAHLET TO .IIJIWE 'ADAMS. At tho January 1000 meeting of tho "Stato Editorial Association, upon motion of tho editor of this paper, it was orderod that a bronzo tablet in memory of Judgo F. G, Adams bo placod in tho wall of the room in tho Capitol building to bo occupied by thn Stato Historical society. Geo. W. Martin was authorized to socuro tho tablet, placo it in position, and tako such stops as woro necessary to ralso tho m6noy. A very neat design was propared, and tho cost ascer tained to bo, for tablet, $115, insert ing In tho wall, freight and incident las, $15, making a total of 1100. It was deemed reasonable that out of olght hundred nowspaper men ono hundred and sixty would promptly re mit ono "dollar each, and tho thing would bo Jono. But it seems it hasn't been done Mr. Martin reports, In his usual vig orous way, through tho Capital' that only $8" has thus far been collected, and ho says further that unless tho remainder is bent in by Juno 1, ho will return that already on Land and abandon the project. Tho RixiiSTHK hopes most earnostly that Mr. Martin's appeal will bo heeded nnd that thoso who havo not yet contributed tholr dollar will send it in at onco. Certainly tho tablet Lproposcd is a modest enough tribute for tho nowspaper men of Kansas to pay to one to whom tho fraternity, individually and collectively, owes a dobt that no sum of money could liquidate Tho IluaiSTUiilwill multi ply its assessment sovoral times over If necessary rather than that tho tablet should not bo erected. GO TO CI1UHC1I AN WAY. T. B. Murdock: Admitting thero is no God; nohoaen or hell; no ilro and brimstone; conceding that thero is no devil and that tnan is tho direct descendant of tho apo; that The (lower that once has blown forever dlos It cannot bo denied that church ser vices develop tho best thero is in man. Church attcudnnco suggosts cleanli ness In mind and body a getting away from ono's solf and whoio tho conditions havo a tendency to icverse tho machine; to take one's elf out of ono's solf-and to a degrco direct tho channels of brotherly kindness and charity; and wo havo often wondered why bright young men well dressed and self respecting young men can lonfvibout tho shops and tho street corners all Sunday morning whilo thero aro so many empty scats in tho churches. Two-tliirds of tho peoplo of this town never attend' church ser vices, whilo one-half of them never sec tho insldo of a church building. Wlillo older peoplo may bo justified in this, thero is no oxcuso for tho young man. Admitting that church worship Is but a spBcles of Idolatry; that tho sorvico Is mummery, it cannot bo de nied that church service inlluenco is on tho sido of morality and correct living. Woro it not, for tho Women thero would be no churches', woro tho social standards recognized by men' alono permitted to avail, tho world would bo burning in a pit of boll In a week. Tho greatest forco in tho world today is tho church, and tho young man who loafs on tho streets Sunday, sneers at Christianity, rovlles the churches, whilo neglecting or refusing to attend church services, shows a lack of something in his moral make up. Church inllucnces, church teach ings aro uplifting; church services, whilo not tedious, appeal to man's j hotter nature, whilo they aro often on 1 tortalnlng and instructive. No young man in tho town can offer a good rea son for not attending church service's ui loast onco a Sunday; and when n young man bristles up at tho montlon oi it no snoum do rorainueu mat. uu is not half hois. as bravo us ho thinks "Stick to l." Goo, L. Hoard, of High Towor, Ga,, writo : "Eczoma broko out on my baby covering' his ontiro body. Un der treatment of our family physician ho got worse as ho could not sloop for tho burning and itching. Wo used a box of "Bannor Salvo" on him and by thotlmo-lt was gone ho was well. Tho doctor seeing It was curing him said, "Stick to it for it is doing hira mora good than anything I havo dont for him," Campbell & Burrell. In a pago wrlto-up recently of tho Beaumont, Texas oil fields tho Kansas City Star had tho following to say of D. R. Beatty a former citizen and business man of this placo. "D. II. ' Beatty, who drilled tho gusher purchased by tho National Pipo and Oil company for a million and a quarter, is ono of tho strongest and most interesting personalities in tho Beaumont oil field. He's a shoutcr for Kansas City. Ho went thero just after tho Galveston storm, in tho in terest of Galveston sufferers, nnd when ho returned ho had carloads of bedding, clothing and othornocossitfes for tho stricken city. Tho people of tho South aro extremely loyal to Kan sas City, and Kansas City is spoken of ten times whero St. Lioiils is men tioned ohce They also know of Tho Star's gift of tho balanco of tho Mat anzas rolief fund to Galveston. Tho Stato of Kansas also is well thought of down thero. Mr. Beatty Is llko ahumandynamo. IIo runs at high speed all tho time, and seems absolutely tireless. Night and day ho is hustling. Ho has mado sovoral fortunes hero since tho striko and probably will mako soveral more Tho Lucas gusher camo in January 10. That night at 11:30, Mr. Beatty went to tho oilleo of tho Galveston News on business connected with tho publica tion af a relief item. Whilo thero ho was shown a dispatch giving tho do tails of tho coming of tho Lticas. IIo had only $20 In his pocket. It was too lato to get more IIo boasded tho Gal veston train at 1:40 a. m., changed cars at Houston and was in Boaumont by 7 o'clock. Ho had paid ono-Ualf of his ready cash for railroad faro and a hotel bill, and tho second half, ho paid to Llgo Adams for an oil leaso on tho ten acres of ground on which is now tho famous Boatty gusher. For other louses obtained that day ho paid $."!S," and for a total Invoit ment of $305 ho and his friends havo since received H million dollars from the National Pipo and Oil company and i Imlllion dollars In paid stock from another company. Tho presi dent of tho National company Is Robert L. Henry of Chicago, who formerly hud heavy Investments in Kansas City, among them tho Warder Grand Opera houso,' which ho renamed tho Auditorium. Natlonnl Oil stock, on a capitalization of 5 mllllou dol lars, Is worth 75 cents a share, against a par valuo of $1, so It Is claimed. hhattv's OTinnt oratATioNs. Hero aro somo of the other remark ablo right" secured by Mr. Beuttj: A lenso on flfi-'en acres in what Is known as Spindlo Top heights, not far from tho Lucas. Ho got it for 810, which ho passed over to a farmer's llttlo girl for a now dress. For this lease, which nets tho farmer one-eighth roynltj on all oil taken out, Mr. Beatty re ceived 4 million dollars in paid up stock, which is now worth 00 cents a sharo and promises to jump to 75 cents, Two negroes in Houston owned twenty acres of land which cost thorn $1 an acre They sold out for $20,000. Todny their ground is worth $100,001). Mr. Beatty paid $10 for what i known as the Noblo lease, coveting ten acres. For which ho has icfusod $')0,000. Theso may seem oxtruvugunt us sertions in tho North, but when mini pay $27,000 spot cash tin- ncro nn I offer bonuses of $1,000 nnd $2,000 un ncro for oil leases, theso values itro possible und real. You can't buy land within a mllo of tho Lucas und Beatty wolls under $2,500 an acre, and tho Held is far from being proved; but a fow acreg u mllo or two away aro Biilllclent on which to base u t-iip-ltttl stock of i million dollars In such times as now prevail hero. Apparently Mr. Boatty has tho ut most confidence in tho Beaumont dis trict, yet ho has sold most of his por sonal holdings in its heart and is re taining, oven increasing, his intorosts in what is. known us Sour Luko terri tory, about eighteen milos north-vvost pi Beaumont, whero ho hits a rellnory, and at Corsionna, whero ,ho tnvus two wolls and 30,000 acres under lease. Ho also is working on a combination of threo companies hero to bo stocked for a total of 5 million dollars. Judging from tho enormous influx of money hero and tho readiness with which peoplo invest, ho will succeed. Apparently tho old adage, "It's a long lnno that has no turn," applies to Mr. Beatty 's case IIo lost heavily in tho Galveston storm and had spont about two months in Corslcana's field without results except in socuring somo good leases, and making good connections, but his oxperlenco thero was his capital In tho start at Boau mont. IIo doesn't know how much he's worth now. Hero's an Instanco of tho way Mr. Beatty does things: Ho gottwo leases noar tho Lucas on condition that ho began operations within a short tirao. Ho tolograpbod East for machinery, but the days alippud by and tho ma- Notice of Special Election (Klrst published April S, loot.)
