You have noticed that some houses always seem to need repainting; they look dingy, rusted, faded. Others always look bright, clean, fresh. The owner of the first "economizes" with "cheap" mixed paints, etc.; the second paints with Strictly Pure White Lead The first spends three times as much for paint in five years, and his build ing's never look as well. Almost everybody knows that good paint can only be had by using strictly pure White Lead. The difficulty is lack of care in selecting it. The fol lowing brands are strictly pure White Lead, " Old Dutch " process ; they arc standard and well xnown established by the test of ye'.rs: "Southern" "Red Seal" "Collier" For any color (other than white) tint the Strictly Pure White Lead with National Lead Company's Pure White Lead Tinting Colors, and you will have the best paint that it is possible to put on a building.

The notice was posted thirty days ago, at the time Kansas City was undergoing a finan cial panic in common with the rest of the country.

Murdered for their .Money. Cherokee, la., Aug. 17. Mr. and Mis. Martin Shultz, au aged couple living alone on a farm in Ttlden township, in Cherokee county, were fvHi'lv murdered lust evening. Thev hid concealed about the house about $1,000 aud of this the murderer se cured only $250. The body of Mrs. Shultz was fouud in the yard. She had evidently gone to the well for water and was struck ou the head with some blunt instrument while on her return to the house. Her head was pounded almost to a jelly. Mr. Shultz had retired and was evidently murdered while asleep. A blunt in strument was driveu into the skull to a depth of two inches. The crime was not discovered until late to day and no clue has been obtained. Daily Scenes Among lloniesoek vrs W Iiicii Toll of (Ji eat Piivsilion. Arkansas City, Kftu., Aug. 17. Already a number of families who h ive been waiting ou the border since last spting for the opening of the Cherokee strip have become dis heartened at the outlook, aud pov erty has driven them back to tLe villages, cities or neighborhoods from whence they came. To get back to friends and relatives some have sacrificed a favorite colt, a milk env or may be a watch, and many have been compelled to sell their wagons and teams. Since their stay here among strangers many little folks have dind from change of cli mate water and1 the exposure of camp life which many families have been compelled from lack of funds to put up with. Your correspon dent has uoticed several funeral pro cessions wending their way to the cemettrv. and the mourners, who iu some instances rode in the Fame wagon with the dead, were in many cises the only oues who followed the remains to their last resting place. There has been no work of any kind excepting during the hay making season, aud the early arrivals have simply waited until their last rations were consumed aud last cent gone, and then given up in despair aud gone back. Another thing caused many to return. It was the failure of the First National bank here, which ciosed its doors during the month of June. Many depositors were well to-do people, who cold all they had in other States, expecting to come to this new El Dorado, un dergo the hardships of pioneer life, earn a livelihood, build homes and spend what they brought with them to gain this end. The failure of this bank left many of this das not a dollar in the world outside that iiistitutioa. Hardly a day passes that a covered wagon or something else belonging to au un fortunate homeseeker is not sold at public auction on the streets. A passing thought of such matters elicits no sympathy from the public, but if one should follow these unfor tunates to their humble camp in many cases he would see half clad children and hear a plain story of the young lady's home, aud are now in possession of the officers. Sus picion points to several parties, and it is to be hoped that the real culprit I will be discovered and caught. The law does not prescribe sufficient pnu ishment in such cases. The commu nity in which this is being done, is outraged to a white heat. The scoundrel who writes these letteis will do well to get out of this country.

The fewest failures recorded dur iug the present stringency are those 01 larmers. Ut tnercnauts iU per cent fail at onetime or another, of farmers only 10 per cent. Agricul turists are apt t o consider merchants manufacturers and bankers as their euemies in some degree vet in this hour, whf-u the city business man is tearing his hair in the vain effort to find money where no money is, the farmer can sit secure under his roof tree, knowing that come what will lie is sure of at least food and shel ter.

There is more Catarrh in this sec tion of the country than all other dis eases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to lie incura ble. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and In constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable.

Another thing that has dishearten ed the pooier class is the fact that so many are here and coming daily, too, with such good teams and other wise so much better equipped for the race than are they. The only hope for this class was that few would be here to make the run and there would be plenty of land for all. But it now seems that every good claim will be hotly contested and this leaves the poor man, who has spent his all to get to the bor der, expecting his old bony horses to take him to a good claim, in a position deplorable in the extreme. A Cowardly Slanderer. We have seen a number of the fil thiest, vilest letters ever penned, that were picked upon the pu blic road, near Lamar, in which the char acter of a young lady was assailed in a most brutal and cowardly man ner.
