It isnot from wheat alone that the Western farmers are reaping prosperity this year. The value of live stock of all kinds have increased on an average of about 25‘ per cent., and from the great stock yards of Kansas City $40,- 000,000 more than in 1896 will be dis- tributed among the producers. This is a statement made by the secretary of the Live Stock Exchange of Kansas. City after careful calculation, and tak- . ing into consideration both the rise in values and the increase in receipts. Every steer now sold at the stock yards in that city brings from $6 to $8 more than the same kind of a steer brought a year ago; every calf, from $2 to $3 more; every hog, from $3 to $3.25 more, and every sheep, $1 more. The total value of all the live stock handled at that market this will reach $133,000,000 and more. With these increased profits from his live stock, added to the large returns for his wheat, the Western farmer is enjoying a season of remarkably good fortune and prosperity, and has good cause for rejoicing. This is a great year for the farmer and a poor year for the. cheap meney agitator. year AnAA‘ AN INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE OF THE RETURN OF PROSPERITY IS THE CONSTANTLY AND RAP- IDLY INCREASING CIRCULATION OF THE EVENING GAZETTE. A A-‘ FEMININE CHAT. The shirt waist girl took a new lease of life yesterday. Dirty hands and rings form a most undesirable combination. To be slangy, "any Old thing,” ap- parently, is deemed correct in millin- ery. Many menfiwear out their gloves just carrying them in their pockets. If this kind of weather continues wage-earners will be thinking of ask- ing for a vacation. "Ayala” is the particular brand 'of champagne that epicures and connois- seurs .will serve on their tables this winter. The harsh sound of plain muslin lin- ing after the frou-frou of silk is like a veritable knell of doom in the ears of some women. Dear. dear! why dosen’t some one try to convince certain well-meaning men thata white satin bow tie is not the correct neckwear that they appear to think it is. AA. ‘vl Politicians were very scarce yester- day, a very few being seen upon the street. AAA THE GAZETTE HAS NEVER EM PLOYED A CIRCULATION LIAR BUT.

Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-fbur hours ; a sediment or settling indicates an unhealthy condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. WE AT To D0. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the. urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef- fects following use of liquor, wine or beer. and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin- ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. You may have a. sample bottle and pamphlet both sent free by mail.

[low Hot Weather Efl‘ectn Great liuir Described by the Sun. . The New York Sun, Mr. Dana’s ,' per, says that after describing Have. as “a rotten republic,” and character izing its people as an “abominabl. community,” and its government as “n gang of crooked schemers” our con- temporary, the New York Tlmes, pro- ceeded’yesterday morning to remark: “Over all this unspeakable nastiness we propose to unfurl the American flag. We take Hawaii into our Federal sis- terhood, and ought to wear the hue of shame and hang our heads in doing it, as might a man- who should take into his home a. wretched trollop of the ' streets . ” ' . Saturday, like Friday, was an un- commonly hot day. On Friday the Mugwump Evening Post came to the melancholy- conclusion that popular- government had ceased to exist in this country; although later in the day it revised its threnody so far as to admit that popular government might yet be alive, although constitutional govern- ment was certainly dead. Saturday’s heat acted somewhat dif- ferent upon the cranium of the Times. We as a nation are all right, Whatever the Evening Post might say to the con- trary, but the estimable inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands and'the re- spectable gentlemen who constitute the government of that little republic will appear to the Times’ superheated brains as things of “unspeakable nas- tiness.” - How much better it is that in news- paper oflices where intellect is at the mercy of the thermometer the ebulli- tion of the gray matter should manifest itself in such comparatively benign symptoms as in the Tribune establish- ment, which produced on the hottest of Saturdays for yesterday’s reading a masterly editorial article, showing that the finer qualities of human nature. have not entirely disappeared from earth, and containing this lovely pas- sage: , ' : ‘ “Not yet the age of chivalry-is gone. Not yet, nor ever will‘be while human nature tggyitselfgholds-true: The splen- dors of knightrerrantry are past. The valiant deeds that glorified the age of force are done; happy if not forgotten or discredited. Yet each revolving year, defying the dreary drivel of ma- terialism and rebuking the pale plane of Mugwump mediocrity, brings to the fore, some new, resplendent scene that shows how slight and puerile are storm and wreck and woe and death before the conquering greatness of the human soul.” There was nearly a column that read like a poem. How much better it is, we repeat, that the crisis should pass thus harmlessly, rather than in melan- cholia or violence. . A LIBERAL EMPLOYER. l‘hat Is “’lliit Uncle Sam Is in the Bhutto-1 of Vacations. The length of time allowczl Uncle Sam’s servants for vacations with pay is prescribed in the Revised Statutes. Certain details, however, are left to the discretion of the executive. For in— stance, a recent order permitting gov- ernment clerks to leave their desks at 3 o’clock Saturdays in summer had to be passed upon by the President and cabinet. The law states that “all clerks and other employes” in the civil service of the executive departments are allowed thirty days’ vacation and thirty days’ sick leave each year, with pay, and in usual cases of particular merit, sixty days’ sick leave with pay. What employer would allow his clerks to remain absent one-fourth of the year, with pay? Army oflicers may spend thirty days a year away from their posts of duty, but this may be enjoyed not oftener than once in two years, when they may remain absent sixty days alto- gether. Many prefer to take their va- cations every three or four years, when they may stay away three or four months at a time, long enough to take an extensive trip abroad. The leaves of medical officers of the marine hes- ‘pital service are regulated just as are those in the army. Officials of our di- plomatic posts abroad are allowed six- ty- days’ holiday each year, not includ- ing time required for the voyage to and from this country, if they return home. Members of the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government, of course, suit themselves as to the dis- position of their time while their re- spective bodies are not in 'session. They are for the most part independ- ent in this respect, even while they are assembled. After all, Uncle Sam is the most liberal of employers, so far as vacations are concerned—Washington Star.
