The Kansas Volunteers. Oh, Kansas is the country. Under Plenty's teeming horn, Where they rai»e the finest apples And they raise the finest corn; And the people raise Gehenna, And the cyclone raises steers, But the choicest of her raisin's Are the Kansas Volunteers. Though the tropics may be thirsty And the heat be fierce as hate, Still, there's nothing to the rigors Of a prohibition state; And a cyclone or a torrent Or a skirmmage has no fears For the sons ol*Squatter Sov'reigns Like the Kansas Volunteers. In the face of rebel volleys. With their rifles on their logs, Sure they swam the Marilao Like a school of Kansas frogs. Then they crossed the Kio Grande And they caught 'em by the ears, Twenty livers wouldn't stop 'em Not the Kansas Volunteers. So we d< (Four hats to Kansas, For we know her heart is right; She has /ifty ways of voting, But a single way to fight.

Lapey, General Passenger Agent, Rochester, N. Y. 39-21 CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, r8 99. News from Hilo, Hawaiian Islands, shows that ex-Commissary-General Eagan has made a large fortune. Eagan several yeare ago bought 5,000 acres of wild, Government land in the Oiaa district near Hilo, for $20,000. He put it in his son's name, planted 200 acres with coffee and placed his son in charge. Recently the son sold all the land except what was in coffee to a sugar syndicate for $480,00 C. He also has property in San Francisco, and is drawing his full salary from the Gov ernment. In the window of Henderson and Lincoln's store on East Second street are some interesting souvenirs of the civil war. They consist principally of a notebook, pocketbook and watch, and while interesting to tho passerby, are doubly interesting to the Cobham family, as they were the means of pre serving the life of Gen. Geo. A. Cob ham, ol Warren, since deceased. The watch shown, was presented to General, then Colonel, Cobham by his regiment. Shortly after its presentation, while on the field of battle, a sharpshooter espied tho Colonel, and with true aim at his heart, sent a bullet at the gallant officer. Over his heart was the note book, a leather pocket book and the watch, the one ounce bullet came to the watch where it stopped and became permanently fastened. In that way the Colonel's life was saved.—James town Journal. The following from tho Oil City Blizzard expresses a common senti ment among newspaper men: "If peo ple in general manifested half as much energy in assisting newspaper men to secure news as they do in condemding them for not publishing more of it, there would be less cause for complaint. When a death, marriage or other calamity happens in a family the in terested parties should supply the newspaper with the facta of the case. The newspaper man cannot know ex actly what is going on in every house hold in the city. The right thing to do, unless there is some objection to publicity, is either togo to the news paper office or communicate with some person connected with the paper. Where this is done it insures the pub lication of much news which otherwise would not be secured. And it tends in the direction of greater accuracy, also." A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. "Was taken with a bad cold which sectled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four Dootors gave me up saying I could live but a short time. I gave myself up to my Savior, determin ed it I could not stay with my friends on earth 1 would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get 1 >r. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds. 1 gave it a trial, took in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and thank God, I am saved and now a well and healthy woman." Trial bottles tree at L. Taggart's Drug Store. Regular size ">oe and 81.00. Guaranteed or price refunded.

Olivia, of Barcelona, Spain, spends his winters at Aiken, S. C. Weak nerves had caused severe pains in the back of his head. On using Elec tric Bitters, America's greatest Blood and Nerve Remedy, all pains soon left him. Ho says this grand medicine is what his country needs.
