The Shampoo Hair Drier is a toilet article that, when once used, becomes indispensable to a lady's toilet porphyrin. We are in possession of hundreds of letters from ladies who inform us that they would not attempt to arrange their hair without it, since having had an opportunity to test its merits. It will straighten only hair without infancy to the hair or scalp. Its use will increase the growth of the hair, by keeping the scalp free from dust, dandruff and grease. In many instances the hair is allowed to go too long unwashed on account of the time required in drying and the dampness controlling the hair, but with our Drier, meditatively hoted, as you would a cutting iron, the hair can be dried quickly and straightened nicely thereby making it look beautiful and natural in appearance. This toilet article is as much a necessity to a lady having straight hair as it is to one whose hair is cuttly for it is a full-purple fact that every lady should bathe the hair at regular intervals, and when the long-time drying process is eliminated she will not hesitate as much to keep the scalp and hair clean by bathing.

With the Shampoo Drier the hair can be dried and arranged in thirty 100 minutes. The use of the "Drier" properly handled, will not remove the wave from straight hair, but to cutly hair it will have the beautiful wave found in hair that is straight. The many so-called Hair Straighteners upon the market, which have proven injections and caused so much unsightly appearance, have made bulbs feel sensitive and smoothous of all such devices, but from the many testmoulds rolled from satisfied users, we can without fear give a guarantee of satisfaction to any one following these The Shimpoon Driver does not mat the hair down to the head, as it is usually done with the old style straightenor, but it uses leave-in duffy and in-waves We have sold the Magic Shimpson Durer to some of the foremost ladies of this country, and they are in evidence in every state of the Union and Canada. When the Durer is once used it will never be abandoned or lost aside for no lady's toilet is complete without it and no lady will be without one who has a pledge in the appointment of her crowning beauty.

In this act alon the General Conference show great wisdom. Bishop Grant a man whom the people love honor and respect, and he done much to quicken the progress of the race. No peop appreciates him more than host he has so greatly benefit throughout the West The Fifth Episcopalist has much to be proud of. It a delegation done exception by well. The election of H. Parks is a triumph for the Prb and all extend congratulations. It was here where he saw the light of progress and was filled with inspiration. Bishop Parks liked to have remained South too long. Kansas and the West claims him. He is a thorough race man, full of patriotism and will make good. The placing of Rev. J. C. Caldwell at the head of the Sunday Schools is another wise act and also a worthy recognition of the Fifth district. St. Joseph and the West are proud of him Rev.Caldwell is a scholar, orator and business man. Much credit is due his highly cultured and devoted wife for the honor that has been conferred upon him. Tomorrow everybody should lay aside all care and honor the Old Boys of '61. We feel greatful for this glorious Union purchased with the blood of thousands of patriotic men, and those who have gone to their final reward, let us garlan their graves with nature's choicest gems. The most ridiculous and absurd proposition ever heard of is a handful of Negro Democrats headed by James H. Guy announcing that they are going to Chicago to defeat the nomination of Taft. Bryan and his party have notified Afro-American leagues that no Negro is wanted. The Guy organization is known as the Shawnee County Afro-American League. It is for Democratic and kicking purposes. Whenever a fellow can't land a janitorship, he joins the League and kicks the Republican party. It is reported that the thing has gone so far as to send out circular letters asking people to contribute money to aid in defraying the expenses of three "delegates" all of whom damn the Republican party at every opportunity. If enough people are soft enough to contribute, it is a smooth way to get to attend the National Convention and visit Chicago. No good Republican can afford to lose any time with this gang of do-nothings. M. H. SENATOR CHESTER I. LONG, Man of the People Who Has Ably Represented Kansas in the United States Senate that he Will Be Chosen as his Own Successor SUPERINTENDENT J.A. CADY The clearest and best administration the Hutchinson Reformatory ever had has been during the past two years under the careful and painstaking management of Hon. James A. Cady. Honest, upright, honorable and strictly business in every undertaking. Mr. Cady makes a success of anything he goes at. As superintendent of the Hutchinson Reformatory he has pleased the people throughout the state, and added many warm friends and admirers to his already large list. This writer has known Jim Cady for almost thirty years, and we have yet to hear a man, woman or child say aught against him. He is forty years of age, and a native of Pleasanton, where he was reared and educated in the public schools. He filled many positions of honor and trust in Linn county, where Democrats and Republicans always took special interest in pushing him forward. He is a launch Republican and for years has contributed time and money to keep aloft the banner of the party of Lincoln. Mr. Cady is kind, sympathetic and painstaking which has been the cause of his magnificent success at Hutchinson. He is especially kind to the colored boys, and gives them an equal chance with the white boys to learn the higher things in life. We like Jim Cady, and if there ever comes a time when he seeks the support of the voter of Kansas, THE PLAINDEALER and the writer will be found whooping it up for Cady. The following extracts are a few facts about the Reformatory: The regular visiting day is Friday, from 2 to 5 p. m., but members of the families of the inmates living at a distance are allowed to see inmates on any day between 9 a. m and 5 p. m., except on Sunday, when they are allowed to see inmates between 10 a. m. and 2 p. m. Sunday visits are limited to one hour. Imates with the poorest education attend school two sessions a day--the night session and during the morning or afternoon session. Inmies with better education attend school once a day. It is not the policy of the management to parole any inmate without education enough to count interest and write an intelligible letter, unless on account of physical or mental defects, this much education cannot be acquired.

The "ll. ll." club declared a dividend on April 10th. One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, cached in his cards at two dollars and seventy-three cents each. Through the negligence or over right of some people who might have taken his place in the dividends they neglected and lost that excellent opportunity. Every 4 lb. sack of "H II." dour contains a card. Each of these cards is worth 5 cents in the purchase from The Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread kneder. There is another way these cards can be used. Ask your grocer about it and if he cannot give you the information, ask the Topeka Milling Co. to explain it to you. A contest is now on which expires Nov. 30th. A similar contest expired April 2nd, 1905, and some of the cards in that contest were actually worth £2.72 each. It will pay you to sit up and take you e.

Stewart, the popular County Clerk, needs no introduction to the people of the county, as they are almost unanimous in their support of him for reelection. As an official he has made a record that will stand as a lasting monument to honesty and integrity. He is a consistent Republican, loyal to his friends and square in his dealings. Public men of the Stewart stamp need never have any fear of defeat in anything they may undertake. RENO COUNTY. Chief J. Ryker, candidate for treasurer of Reno county is an excellent gentleman, and a better man cannot be found for this, the most important position in the county. He is friendly to every body and has a host of friends and admirers among the colored people who will stand by him for any position he may seek. The following facts were gleaned from the Hutchinson News: * * * "In Clift Ryker the Republicans have a candidate who is especially well equipped to fill the place which he seeks. He has been deputy county treasurer under Mr. Altswager during his two terms, and is at present filling that position. He had also been special deputy in that office during the busy season for several years previous to his regular term of office. Mr. Ryker is an energetic young man. In his work as deputy county treasurer he has shown exceptional ability as a businesslike and efficient officer. He has always been a Republican of the consistent type, and since his residence in Reno county has been a hustling worker for the success of the party. Hon. A. W. Hamilton, of Hutchinson, Superintendent of the Public Schools, Reno county, has given one of the best administrations the people ever had. He has devoted all of his energy to the uplift of the schools and has greatly improved them. As a reward he should be renominated and elected. The office of County Commissioner is one of grave responsibility, and requires a man of more than ordinary ability. As such, Hon. A. F. Bain has served Reno county in such a manner as to make the voters feel that he should be renominated and elected. Chas. Fulton is one of the best attorneys in Reno county, and the voters feel that there is no honor too great to bestow upon him. He is a young man, 27 years of age, bright, intelligent, and well qualified to fill any position. He graduated from Kansas State University in 1905, and was admitted to the bar before the Supreme Court in June of the same year. Mr. Fulton is a Republican, first, last and all the time, and in selecting a man for Probate Judge, Reno county can do no better. He has served as Probate Judge pro tem., and also as deputy Register of Deeds, and made good in both places. Miss Amy J. Alexander, candidate for Clerk of the District Court of Reno county, is a leader of both women and men. She is affable, pleasant and always glad to give any person an audience. Miss Alexander comes from the best and most patriotic blood in all Kansas In speaking of herself Miss Alex. ander said: "I was born in Hutchinson and have spent my life here, having been educated in the schools of Reno county. My father was one of the early settlers here, coming to Reno county in 1872. He was always a Republican, and was an old soldier, being a member of Company "B", 24 h Michigan Volunteer Infantry, and was afterwards transferred to Company "F", Veteran Reserve Corps, serving four years in the Union army, and was a member of Joe Hooker Post No. 17, of this city. My father died Jan. 4th '04 "I have performed the duties of Deputy Clerk of the District Court for six years, and I feel myself well qualified to perform the duties of this office." Hon. J. I. Smith, one of the County Commissioners of Reno county, has served the people in a manner that has given entire satisfaction. He is a steadfast Republican and has won the admiration and respect of men and parties. He is a candidate for re-election and will have no trouble in being re-elected NEOSHO COUNTY. J. J. Hurt, attorney and broker of Chanute is a candidate for representative Thirty-first district Neo-ho county. He is forty years of age, a bright lawyer and if elected will do much to advance the county He is just the kind of man to make a good representative and the people had better tie to him. He is a consistent Republican and one of the finest men in that section. SEDG WICK COUNTY O E. Emery has been Chief of Police at Wichita since March 1st, 1908. The affairs of the city have been conducted in a way that makes all feel proud. He is an old newspaper man, having devoted 28 years to the service, of which were spent as city editor of the Wichita Beacon. Mr. Emery is 40 years of age, a nice gentleman and worthy of any honor that might be bestowed upon him. MIAMI COUNTY. J. B. Remington is one of the most prominent business men in Osawatomie. He is an extensive lumber dealer, and enjoys the confidence and respect of a host of warm friends and admirers. J. S. Johnson o' Oswatomie, Democrat and prominent politician and business man of Osawatomie, represented his county in the last legislature. He was elected by a large majority in a Republican county, and his friends are now urging him to enter the race for a second term. He conducts a furniture and undertaking establishment and is well liked and popular with everybody. CRAWFORD COUNTY Joseph Keys was born in Randolph county, Illinois in 1854 and settled in Kansas in 1867. He is serving his first term of one of the best administrations that has ever been given from this office. He is popular with the masses, having served as a member of the board of education and five times as town ship trustee. He has always been a Republican and voted the Republican ticket and contributed his time and energy to the party's success. Mr. Keys is a strong advocate of the rights of man, and places time character and moral worth above color. He will be elected by a handsome majority. BROWN COUNTY. R W. Hickn, Clerk of the District Court of Brown county, is a candidate for Representative in that county. He is a life long Republican, and can be depended upon at all times to stand by the principles an enunciated by the party. The vot --- ere will nominate and elect him. He is a man of honor and integrity, and is well liked by men of all parties. He has a fine family, and his wife has been of much assistance to him in the office, his efficient service as Clek having been greatly strengthened by his estimable companion. His friends are earnest to secure his nomination for Representative. ANDERSON COUNTY. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. L. M. Reynolds, candidate for county treasurer, is a prominent Democrat, worthy of the support o all classes. He is a candidate for re-election. JOR COUNTY CLERK M. J. Keeton, county clerk, is 71 years of age, a native son and was reared on a farm. He has taught school and made a splendid record as clerk. Nominate and elect him FOR PROBATE JUDGE M. C.
