Thus far there will be some changes in the Representative department of Jackson County. There are at present two avowed candidates for the place Messrs Flynn of Mayetta, and Mayor Sarbach of Holton. As times moves on it is plainly seen that young blood in the person of Mr. Sarbach will cut quite a figure in the race for this office. Mr. Sarbach is a young man of more than ordinary ability and if elected will make a model representative. He is at present the mayor of the city of Holton, and the people are loud in praise for him from one end of Jackson County to the other. If Mr. Sarbach is sent to the Legislature from his district, it is conceded that he will be the youngest and most brilliant young man that ever graced the halls of our Capital where all our state laws are made. In fairness to him, he will make a model representative. He is also of the firm of Sarbach and Sone of Holton, general merchandise. He is being greatly encouraged by a large number of his admiring friends of all classes. We have never lost any support on account of what some say of us, The "Smokey Row" individuals will find no space in the newspapers for notoriety this is election time. To tell it about town that this and that paper has no influence that man had better not been born for the good they now are doing. The importance of a man's record is always up to date when he is a candidate for office. Some men who aspire fot office in the meantime get uneasy and know they will be defeated and hence they talk doubtful. There is a certain man telling that all the colored peo le are in favor of him except the editor of this paper. Of course any fool can see that we must be it from the simple fact that we have several thousand readers. Notwithstanding the whims and notions of some candidates for office they have become convinced that we are a little disfigured but still in the ring and above all, here to stay. There is a certain official trying to predominate the politics in this county. He is greatly in favor of Charley Fellows for County Commissioner. To show him we are dead on, will he tell us a secret about the withdrawel of a certain man? Col. H. J. Bevelle whose name is well known as a candidate for Probate Judge is still making votes for that office. There is no man who has a better record seeking this office and, the voters of Shawnee County may rest assured that they will recieve a fair recognition at his hands.

Not withstanding what is said. We are laying down boys, the gig is about up-that shows that we are men. Since our experience has taught us that the less said is the easily mended, but we have said many things that may never be mended. The fact's in the case are thus; we must either sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish, go down or up—we are there with the big mit. We have received a fine supply of new type from Kansas City and that is an indication of prosperity. We are sure an omen of good times is not far hence There is a growing feeling it seems in the campaign for different candidates for county offices yet there will be nothing definite until a few more meetings are held. If some teachers would remain at their jobs and not attend politics when they were not infringing upon the rights of their pupils there would be less discussion(?) We ask that you read up on the issues, and always call for your papers as well as letters when at the Post-office. Whose interest is Councilman Morgan running in(?) What does he hope for(?) The fight between Mr. Doran and Mr. Nichol's seems to be getting at fever heat. It is only a question of time as to the result. A large Nichols meeting was in progress at Webers hall Friday night, and the Doranites held a fine meeting on Monday night; and on Thursday evening Mr. Doran made an eloquent speech to the Young Men's Political Club. State House TE LE R NOMAN; BUT RENDER JU MARCH. 27, 1900. W. C. S'PEPHENSON. Ex-member of the Legislature SURE TO WIN OUT. There is no question beyond a reasonable doubt but that Will Stephenson, Ex-member of the Legislature from this district, will win out on the day of the primaries. There i no question in the minds of the many friends of Mr. Stephenson, but that he has the best of the fight and for that reason he will be and must be nominated at our primaries. Not many years ago, Mr. Stephenson lft the farm and came to this city and engaged in the real estate business, and from there he has taken an active part in politics and he is a true man worker of the place. Mr. Stephenson stands at the head of the list. We hope there will be nothing on the part of the friends of Mr. Stephenson to get worried or lay down on the list vote is counted in his favor on April 14th; from the 2nd 3rd and 4th wards of this city, for County Commissioner. D. S. MYERS Who Will Be Elected Next Tuesday. The next Councilman from the 2nd Ward, if signs of the times point correctly, will be Mr. D. S. Myers, who will represent the laboring element to a great extent. Mr Myers is at preset in the coach department of the Santa Fe Railway Co., which position he has held for 15 years. Also he is prominent in lodge circles of this city, Laving been treasurer of Capitol Lodge, No. 3, for 13 years and a member of that fraternity for 17 years. All this goes to show whom you will vote 'or next Tuesday, and the standing of the man Mr. Myers is and active Republican. Having been urged to accept the endorsement by his many white and colored friend, he will succeed A. P. Benson, who is an avowed Democrat, and one who does not expect for the colored and white Republicans to vote for him. It the friends of Mr. Myers get out and do their duty, he will be the next Councilman from the 2nd Ward of this city. He is a taxpayer of considerable real-estate HON.W.E.FAGAN PROBATE JUDGE There is a growing inter st in the Candidacy of Mr. Fagan for Probate Judge he has always been a true and tried friend to our people and is not out of place to insist that he be rewaived on April 14th. It will be remembered that M. Fagan has never held any office in this County during his residence here and for that reason the voters of the various wards will not hesitate to get out, and rally to his support. BIG MEETING FOR DORAN HFLD AT WEBER'S HALL There was a big meeting at Weber Hall Monday evening of last week. Many young men of the Santafe shops were present during the progress of the Doran meeting. There was one held it is said in Aron Jetmore's office. However a good colored vote was out an many stirring speeches were made. Mr. Doran made a fine eloquent speech, his policy was outlined and his points were highly applauded. We publish in this paper elsewhere the announcement of Mr. Thomas F. Doran who is making an active effort to become the next county attorney of this county. Mr. Doran is an able attorney, a fluent and eloquent speaker, if elected he will make a first class officer. J. W. Mergan whose candidacy meets with little or no approval, for Probate Judge. Why will he not get out of the way and leave the race to some one who may be elected(? --- THOMAS F. DORAN. dger. STICE TO ALL HON, CHAS, CURTIS W. H. RENOMINATED MARCH 20th 1900 To Congress for the Fifth Time. Cowardice is one of the worst things we have to deal with among colored people. This way of selling out to merely reach the point is of little force the people are always on to such stuff and will support nothing but a pure and undivided principle. Since the organization of colored clubs few are able to state correctly their political faith. Hence a great change has taken place. Charley Fellows, well you all know him. One paper says he has employed thousands of laborers—well you all know him, who would believe that he is not a candidate of the Leland gang. Is he? Find out please. The colored people should vote for a man who will accept the endorsements of a Negro for a political office which he is able to fill "Our flag is still there." is the title of a patriotic song. But too stick shows that we are still here. Neither dead while many has dammed us, yet through all those sleepless nights, the editor loses none. This shows on its face that we must have a few friendly advisors The Young Men's Political Club met on Thursday evening and many speakers were present. Among them Messrs. Doran, Nichols, Stephenson, Harrison, Dolman, Vanorsdel and Jewell. There are some good colored people in the ranks of the colored population. But there are a string of decent ones, who, like a cow that has given a bucket of milk and kicks it over. So you see that many good colored people are to be blamed for what the cheap class of them do. Thos. Quackenbush is a Candidate for Street Commissioner Subject to the decision of the voters at the City election held in the city of Holton April 3rd 1900. STREET COMMISSIONER HOUTON KANS. Quite a bit of interest is being shown in the fight for Street Commissioner. The race at present is between Messrs Quackenbush and Wiley, and they are marshaling their forces, however it is conceded on all sides that Mr. Quackenbush will win out with votes to spare. There is opposition to Mr. Wiley from fact that he has held the office more than five years, which of course this will help the election of Quackenbush. The large colored vote (doubly) as the ladies are allowed to vote counts largely in favor of Mr. Quackenbush, and for that reason it shows on its face if Mr. Quackenbush stands all right with his race, it will be all smiles for him. --- FOR We guarrantee the people who advertise, quick returns—most reliable news paper a mong all classes. FOR LEGISLATURE CITY DISTRICT We take pleasure in saying to our many readers this week that Mr. Ed McKeever has an opponent in the person of Mr. Albert K. Vitson, the Grand Secretary of L. A. F. and A M. of this city. Mr. Wilson is not what the public would style as a politician, yet capable and eloquent, he has been a resident of this city 21 years during which time he has always been a Republican. He is the present Secretary of the above organization and ranks high among all classes. If elected this fall every one may feel proud that his heart will be found in the right place. For some time the field has been canvassed seeking a suitable representative for the place which has been held two terms by Ed McKeever; and now the public will exercise the right of suffrage to the change. It will be remembered that McKeever seeks a third term with nothing to show during these two term.s, he has attempted to represent this district and as we all know you are opposed to his policy, it is safe to say that Mr. Wilson will be easily nominated for the next Representative of the City District, 3rd 4th and 5th wards of this city. JACKSON COUNTY COUNTY ANNOUNCEMTS. I am a candidate for the office of City Attorney at the city election held in the city of Bolton April 3rd 1900. M. A. Bender. I am a candidate for Clerk of the District Court of Jackson County, subject to the decision of the Republican Convention. Arthur Woolverton Mr. Arthur Woolverton For Clerk of the District Court. JACKSON COUNTY: If signs of the times point correctly Mr. Arthur Woolverton a Jackson County reared young man will be the next Clerk of the District Court. Mr, Woolverton has lived in Jackson County the greater part of his life, he is a young active Republican in all its deliberations He graduated from the law department of Campbell University in 1899. Hence he is now looking after his interest 7 miles from Holton the County seat of Jackson county. He is a brilliant young man for the place and is being supported by many prominent people of all classes of his County. He will be a strong man for Clerk. HOLTON The general feeling among all classes is Tomas Quackenbush for Street Commissioner of holton. he will be easily elected. Martin A. Bender, the young and capable gentlemanly attorney of holton is gaining hourly for city attorney of holton. The fact of Mr. J. D. Meyers having decided to re-enter the race makes the fight between Messrs Bender, Noble and Meyers. however with the support of the many friends of Mr. Bender he will undoubtedly succeed in the election.

He is now on his way to Asia, where he will be superintendent of the entire system of water works on the trans-Siberian railroad, built by the Russian government. When a Kansas delegate to a convention cannot attend and issues a proxy under the law he must stamp his proxy with a 25-cent revenue stamp. Shawnee county commissioners are endeavoring to stop fee grabbing by means of uncalled for inquests. Other counties will likely follow this lead.

The surveying party of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas road reached Galena and an excavation for the depot has been started. The site is in Hickory flats, about 300 yards north of the Frisco depot. THEY MISS THE POINT A FREE-TRADE ARGUMENT WITHOUT FORCE. Large Profits and Low Prices in the Iron and Steel Industry Sustain the Contention as to the Value of the Protective Policy. The free-traders are seizing upon the opportunity afforded by the bringing of suit by Mr. Frick against the Carnegie company and by the statements made by him in respect to the enormous profits made by the company to reiterate their old claim that the protection of American industries is a robbery of the American people in behalf of American manufacturers. Just how they would figure it out to show that, with the same degree of activity in the trade and with the same rate of wages, the prices of iron and steel products would have been lower or the profits of the steel companies less during the last two years, if there had been no tariff on iron or steel, does not appear. American manufacturers have exported great quantities of iron and steel products since the enactment of the Dingley law. In foreign countries they have no advantages, either from a tariff or otherwise, over any foreign manufacturer of iron and steel. Yet it has been the American manufacturers who have, in large measure, controlled the foreign markets, who have secured large orders in face of their foreign competitors. If, as has been the case, American manufacturers have, in open competition with all the world, secured the lion's share of the orders for iron and steel products in other countries, what possible shadow of a reason is there for the assertion that the tariff has enabled them to unduly inflate prices? If foreign manufacturers could not offer lower prices or greater inducements to foreign buyers, what reason is there to suppose that they would have done so in the case of American buyers? The truth of the matter is that the prosperity of this country under our restored system of protection has been so great that our iron and steel plants have been hard put to it to fill orders. They have been crowded with work to their utmost capacities. In such a state of affairs it is inevitable that profits should be large. The tariff has been connected with these enormous profits in these respects only, viz., that it is the protective tariff which has given to us an iron and steel industry, and that it is the protective tariff, as embodied in the Dingley law, which has given to the country such wonderful prosperity that our iron and steel mills have been overcrowded with work. For it is American prosperity which is responsible for the large profits. It is the American demand which keeps the mills running. Foreign orders are not extensive enough to keep our mills running, though they do help to run up the profits. AGREEABLY SURPRISED. Wage-Earners Voluntarily Accordeed a Share in Employers' Profits. Five hundred wage-earners in one of the large mills at Paterson, N. J., were agreeably surprised last week when pay day came. Instead of one envelope they received two. In one envelope was the surprise in the shape of the usual pay and a 5 per cent increase; in the other the explanation. This was simply that the company now finds itself able to keep its promise of sharing any prosperity which might come to it with its workers; that trade had improved and a 5 per cent advance was made possible. The advance, of which there had been no intimation whatever, caused muen rejoicing. It is understood that the Barbour Flax Spinning company, which employs several thousand hands, will take similar action, the advance of 5 per cent having been agreed upon by the two companies. Episodes like these, bringing joy to the hearts of many thousands dependent upon the wages paid are characteristic of the period of "McKinley and prosperity." They furnish an agreeable and very instructive contrast to the condition of things which existed during the never-to-be-forgotten time when the country was experiencing the fruits of "Cleveland and tariff reform." Wage-earners in those days sometimes got two envelopes instead of one, but the second envelope always contained an unpleasant surprise in the shape of a notice that "in view of the existing depression it has been found necessary to reduce wages." To find employers of labor voluntarily admitting their employees to a share of their profits and their prosperity is doubly pleasant and gratifying, for it conclusively proves what has been so insistently disputed by free-traders, that protection operates alike to the advantage of wage-payer and wage-earner. Where Charity Should Begin and End. Charity ought to begin at home if it begins anywhere. But it is a long sight better not to have any call for charity to begin at all. The better way is for every one to have plenty of work at good wages, and so be able to pay for everything needed. This is the way it has been with the American people ever since the enactment of the Dingley law started up the fires of the factories of the country and gave to every man who wants it a chance to work. There has been little need for charity. The old charity doling days of free trade and free soup houses have gone. The doctrine of the protective tariff is not to begin at home, or anywhere, with charity but to begin at home with the providing of work for those who want it; to see to it that the American people are not robbed of their chance to work, and that the American market is not given over to the products of foreign labor, but is made secure as the market for American products. In this way there is an end put to all need for the bestowal of charity on any one who is able and willing to work. PROOF OF PROSPERITY. Remarkable Decrease in the Number of the Unemployed. Probably in no single year in the history of the United States has there been so great a change in the industrial conditions. Think of it! In the great state of New York fourteen months ago more than a quarter of the working people were unemployed and seeking work from day to day to enable them to procure the necessaries of life. Within the ensuing ten months the unemployed numbered less than five in every hundred, and, as the World suggests, at the present time the per cent is "incalculably small," probably less than 2 per cent. But these statistics do not tell the entire story. The fact must be remembered that the report of the New York labor bureau covers only ten months of the year 1899, from Jan. 1 to Nov. 1. In the early months of 1898, and during the previous two years or more, the depression was far greater. The process of recovery from the awful stagnation and prostration incident to the anti-protection policy of the Wilson-Gorman act had commenced, and some progress toward the restoration of industrial prosperity had already been made previous to Jan. 1, 1899. The full measure of the happy results of the Dingley act can be known only by comparing present conditions with those existing at the period when industrial prostration under the Wilson-Gorman act was most complete. That period is not covered by the report from which the above is quoted. As we have said, the figures alluded to refer only to New York, but it is safe to say that if the statistics covered the entire country the improvement shown would be equally marked in many states, probably in all of those having important manufacturing industries. We are quite assured that Pennsylvania makes as good a showing as New York. Industrial prosperity has reached high-water mark in nearly every community, and only in localities where a vast excess of unskilled labor abounds are there idle hands seeking employment without being able to find it. These localities are few now and the number is diminishing from week to week.—Wilkesbarre (Pa.) Record. A Timely Rescue. PROTECTION AMERICAN LABOR FREE TRADE POND Reason for Confidence. It has grown to be almost proverbial that a presidential year is a bad year for business. In fact, this has often been presented as a reason for lengthening the presidential term. The year 1900, however, bids fair to discount the proverbial claims. Wherever statistics are gathered together the fact appears that the year 1900 has started out with better business than did 1898 or 1899, wonderful as was the showing made by each of those years. Every sign points to a bigger volume of business for the country than ever before. Business men feel reasonably sure that the country will not consent to go back to the starvation days of Democratic tariff reform; they feel reasonably sure of the continuance of our present policy of giving protection to American industries. Therefore they have the confidence to go ahead. With protection as the established policy of the country, with no possible danger of its downfall, presidential years, as well as all other years, will be years of national prosperity. Real. Sound. Permanent. Kansas City is said to be very proud of the fact that more buildings were erected within the limits of that city during the year just ended than during any other twelve months since 1890, when the "boom" was at its height. Even "booms" have to take second place when it comes to comparison with the results of a national protective tariff policy. Under the prosperity which a protective tariff inevitably brings to a country the value of property increases to the top notch without any "boomers," and, what is even better, the values are real and sound and permanent. Ought to See It. It will be difficult this year to convince the voters that there is urgent need of a change when all of them have employment at good wages, and the people are contented and happy. A blind man ought to be able to see that. —Cleveland Leader. Give Us More Such Lies. Debs says that the prosperity of the country is a "ghastly lie." All right. The more ghastliness we have mixed with our lies the happier we will all be. —Lawrence (Kan.) World. TRADE WITH GREAT BRITAIN. Facts Which Testify to the Wisdom of the American Policy. Analysis of the conditions of trade between the United States and the United Kingdom is very encouraging to us. It is well known that the increase in our cotton manufactures has been immense. New mills have sprung up all over the south, and there has been great expansion of the output of the mills in the northern states. Nevertheless, our imports of cotton goods from Great Britain in 1899 were in excess of those of 1888 by about $1,500,-000. This proves two things—firstly, that the present tariff cannot foster an American cotton trust, and, secondly, that the increase in wages and other forms of income has been so great as to demand a supplement of increased imports, in addition to the increased output of home-made goods. Another curious and eminently pleasing circumstance is that our imports of pig iron from Great Britain were more than three times as large in 1899 as in 1897; they were worth $360,000 in the last named year and $1,280,000 in the first. The free-trade theory is that it is better to ship pig iron, which is but one advance from raw material, to be brought to the perfection of manufacture abroad; the protective practice has resulted in large imports of foreign pig to be manufactured by well-paid American artisans. While we have enlarged our imports of pig iron, we have diminished those of manufactured steel; our imports of cutlery were a third less in 1899 than in 1897; our tin-plate imports were greatly reduced; our imports of worsted yarn, worsted tissues and woolen tissues have shrunk in ratios varying from one-third to two-thirds during the last two years. Concurrently with this our imports of machinery for the manufacture of cotton and woolen textiles have risen from $1,220,000 in 1897 to $1,825,000 in 1899. This is the result in large measure of international patients upon the machinery imported. It is also conclusive evidence of a great expansion of American manufacturing enterprise. We now stand a close second in the trade of the world. A few years more of protection and expansion will give us first place.—Chicago Inter Ocean. Make a Note of It. Discussing the lumber trade, E. C. Baker of the Baker Brothers' Lumber Company of Plattsburg, is reported to have said recently: "The lumber trade is in an unusually prosperous condition. There is a great deal more market than we can find product with which to supply it, while prices are constantly advancing. Yet the increased prices do not seem to have interfered with building in any way. The outlook for continued activity is very bright." This is a decidedly different situation than was the case when the Wilson law was on our statute books. There were no surplus of market during that time. Thousands of lumbermen were idle, and, even so, there was still a good deal more product than there was a market. Lumbermen will do well to make a note of the contrast and to remember it when the time comes again to choose between "Tariff Reform" and the continuance of our present prosperity-bringing Protective Tariff. Because. A commercial paper says: "Traveling men are being received with open arms everywhere. There is no haggling about prices or terms. All they have to do is to show their goods, which must be of better quality than heretofore, guarantee prompt delivery, and they are sure of liberal orders." In spite of the trusts, therefore, the traveling men seem not to be left out of the good times. Under the protective tariff, the business of the country is increasing at such a rapid rate that it will be impossible for as many traveling men to be thrown out of employment by the consolidation of different industrial concerns as there will be demand for because of the establishment of new industries and because of the growth and increased trade of all the business enterprises of the country. No Reason Why. It may be good policy to encourage the building and operation of fast ocean liners like the St. Paul, New York, etc., which can be taken into the service of the government during a war and converted into cruisers, but such ships should not be encouraged to the prejudice of the freighters, upon which the extension of our ocean commerce depends. If congress can be made to see the matter in its true proportions the shipping bill may be made one of the most popular protective measures ever passed by that body. There is no reason why our industry on the sea should not be protected as well as our industry on the land.-Minneapolis Tribune. What to Expect. The present prosperity of the country has caused no relaxation of efforts on the part of the Republican administration and Congress to increase our prosperity and provide for its continuance. The people know by experience that they can always expect prosperity from the Republican party.—Sonora (Cal.) Independent. They Will Learn: The industrial growth of the south is puzzling to those statesmen who have always opposed the national policies which have made this growth possible. In time the people in Dixie will learn to appreciate the principles upon which their industrial prosperity is to rest. Peoria (Ill.) Journal. ODOR OF OYSTERS SAVED HIM It Reminded the Drying Repairer Gu Home and Boyhood Days. The story was told by a railroad contractor over the black coffee of a certain Bohemian table d'hote in the old quarter. "I never fully appreciates that proverb about finding a man heart through his stomach," he said. "until a couple of years ago, when I was doing a bit of construction work on the Texas and Pacific, out beyond Alexandria. One day a strapping big fellow we all knew as 'Chicago Pete' who was bossing a shovel gang, was struck by a falling derrick and had half a dozen ribs crushed in. He was dying when they brought him to camp and with the party came a country preacher, who happened to be riding by at the time the accident occurred. I made the poor fellow as comfortable as I could in my shanty and the parson undertook to administer spiritual consolation, but he soon found he had a rather difficult job. 'Chicago Pete' had been a pretty tough customer all his life and had most of the traits that decent folks can get along without, but he entertained a supreme contempt for death-bed reformations and told the preacher so with a picturesque embellishment of profanity that made the good man's hair bristle on his head. Nevertheless he stuck to his task and upward of an hour he pleaded with the sufferer to repent before it was too late. Finally, when he was about to give up in despair, my cook next door began to fry some oysters which I had secured the morning as a special treat, and as their faint odor drifted into the shanty Pete suddenly opened his eyes. 'These oysters reminds me of home,' he said. 'When you were a boy?' asked the minister, taking the cue as quick as lightning. 'Yes,' said Pete, 'my mother used to fry oysters that smelt just like them do.' 'Then think of her now, my dear friend!' the minister cut in. 'Think of your poor old gray-hair mother!' and between the reddest odor of the oysters and the earnestness of his appeal Pete was actually shedding tears in less than five minutes. 'Will you join me in prayer, asked the preacher presently.' Yes said Pete, 'if you'll leave the door open so I can keep on smelling their oysters,' and a little later he passes quietly away in the odor of sanctity and hot grease. That's a true story boys, and wherever may Peter be I trust that all is well with him. He was a good fellow at the bottom and he died like a Christian and a gentle man." Uses for Old Corks. Whoever throws away a cork flings out a substance which is of great value. Old corks should never be destroyed. They have many uses and are worked up in many ingenious ways. They are among the principal items in the manufacture of insulating covers for steam pipes and boilers. Ice houses and ice boxes are packed with them. Fine cork shavings are now used in the filling of pneumatic tires. Ground into powder, they are used in padding horse collars. Linoleum is made prince pally of cork, and bath-room mats of this substance are useful and popular Home-made or inexpensive life-pro servers are filled with old corks cut to scraps. When corks are so bad looking that they are not fit for house hold purposes they are still of value and should be put carefully away for future use. Correct History: The first corset—not counting any ancient modifications of the Grecian zoe or girldle—was introduced into France by Catherine de Medici. It was a strange affair, and fashioned after the style of a knight's cuirass. The frame work was entirely of iron, and the vêtet, which decorated the exterior only served to hide a frightful and cumbersome article of torture. In the day that followed ladies of the court lace themselves frightfully and wore the dreadful prison night and day in the efforts to obtain what they consider a perfect figure. A Celebrated Dog Hospital A Celebrated Dog Hospital More than 10,000 dogs are treated every year in the Royal Veterinary hospital of Berlin.

Any person who has an ading dog can take the beast to the hospital, where it will be examined and treated at a total cost of less than cents a day. From Washington Washington, D.

Moral Teaching in Schools statistics showing the failure of education (of the intellect only) to deceive crime have been published from time to time, and the fact has become generally accepted as to induce a demand among educators for the production in public schools of teach-calculated to develop the moral use of the pupil "moral teaching."

OFARRELL, Pension Agent, age New York, WASHINGTON, D.C. LICENSE TO MINE AT NOME. Any Responsible Party Can Have By Asking. IT IS PROVIDED FOR BY LAW. Washington, March 24.—Secretary Root made a brief statement to the press in regard to the action of the department in granting licenses to prospectors to dredge the water front at Cape Nome, Alaska, in their search for gold. He admitted that one or two such licenses had been issued, but to whom he did not remember, as it was in the regular routine of the department. There were about a dozen more applications of the kind and they will be granted. The secretary explained that his authority in the matter was based upon the statutes giving the war department jurisdiction over the navigable waters of the United States. Under the law no one could have done any dredging on the water front of Cape Nome within a three-mile limit without the authority of the war department. This authority, the secretary says, has been granted in several instances, because it was shown the proposed dredging of sand would not interfere with navigation or the riparian rights of owners of adjacent territory. The particular character of the sand to be dredged did not enter into the consideration of the case at all. Although he did not go into detail, Secretary Root made it clear that the privileges in question were free to all responsible persons and no discrimination had been intended in the cases that had been acted upon. Why We Cannot Build Ships. Washington, March 26.—Senator Frye, chairman of the committee on commerce, said there seems to be a persistent determination to drag the tariff into the discussion of the shipping bill, when in reality shipbuilding materials entering into the construction of ships for the foreign trade are admitted into the United States free of duty. "This has been the law for a number of years," he said, "so that, in respect of shipbuilding materials, our builders are on an equality with their foreign competitors. It is the high cost of labor in our shipyards which prevents this country from building ships for all the world. Even if it were possible, it is quite undesirable to cut the wages of the American working men in half, so as to put them on a level with their foreign competitors. Until our ships are protected in operation equally with our other great protected industries, we cannot expect to see our seagoing tonnage increase. A Cuban Railway Combine. Montreal, March 26.—Sir William Van Horne, ex-president of the Canadian Pacific railway, and chairman of the board of control, returned from Washington and after a consultation with some financiers left again for Washington. The object of his visit is to meet Secretary Root and some American capitalists with whom he is associated in a project for the consolidation of all the railways in Cuba. It is understood that for the development of this project Sir William has 25 million dollars at his disposal. Reward for an Assassin Topeka, March 26.—Governor Stanley offered a reward of $250 for the arrest and conviction of the man who attempted to "assassinate" Frank Elliott, at Troy, a few nights ago. Doniphan county has offered a reward for the same amount and the Republican officials there made up a purse of $500 for the same purpose. High Prices For Angus Cattle. Chicago, March 24.—The great Aberdeen-Angus breeding cattle sale now progressing at Dexter park amphitheater at the Union stock yards is a pronounced success.

Much time was spent the Loud bill relating to second class mail matter. MARCH TWENTY-TWO. The Senate session was principally taken up by buncombe resolutions and consideration of the conference report on the Puerto Rican exile action was taken on any of these affairs. Senator Butler introduced a bill authorizing the distribution among the states of $8,131, which was accumulated by court martial forfeitures, the money to be used for the benefit of the soldiers. In the house Mr. Little (Ark.) has a bill appropriating $200,000 for a soldiers' hospital in Hot Springs, Ark.

Washington, March 22. About 200 barrels of Missouri apples from the orchards of the Ozark mountains are included in the United State's exhibit of apples for the Paris exposition. It is pronounced by those who have had charge of the collection, storage and shipment of this fruit, to be the finest exhibit of apples ever made by the United States. There are in all about 2,500 barrels, representing the orchards of the entire country. As the exhibit was a volunteer one, some states have very large collections, and others, while sending smaller exhibits, are thoroughly represented. Sioux Claim The Black Hills. Fort Yates, N. D., March 26.—The Sioux have just finished a protracted council at Oak Creek, with Major Bingenheimer, the Indian agent, over the Black Hills treaty of 1876. The Indians have long claimed that this treaty was signed by only one-third of their number, instead of three-fourths, as required by the law.

If a house is to be sold the auctioneer offers "fifty golden sovereigns for the man who first bids £5,000." Nobody bids. A pause, and then "fifty golden sovereigns for the man who first bids £4,900." This is kept up until a bid is secured. But it by no means follows that the house is sold to this bidder. No, the auctioneer is then at it again. Say that £4,400 is the first bid. The auctioneer cries: "There are 25 golden sovereigns for the first man who has the courage to bid £4,600." Perhaps no one has it. Then £25 is offered for a £4,550 bid. If there is eventually no bid above the £4,400 the man who made that bid is saddled with the house. Otherwise he pockets his bonus and gets off free of it all. After a man once gets the hang of the thing it is just as easy to be true and honest as it is to be false and wabby.

The nerve cells of the body have been robbed of their vital forces. The nerves have no life in them; therefore all the organs of the body suffer from lack of nerve control, and the blood vessels that supply these organs are not in proper tone. "HUDYAN corrects the evil. HUDYAN provides this vitality or nerve force that is wanting." Are you approaching this condition of Nervous Debility? Are you growing prematurely old? Do you suffer with headaches (Fig. 1); hollow eyes or dark rings under eyes (Fig. 2); pale, thin face and sunken cheeks (Fig. 3); weakness of limbs (Fig. 4); a poor appetite and impaired indigestion (Fig. 5); torpid liver (Fig. 6), and costiveness, a coated tongue (Fig. 7)? Or have you dizzy spells? Do you suffer sleepless nights? Do you have horrid dreams? Do you awake in the morning hollow-eyed and tired out? Are you despondent, melancholy? Do you shun society? Are your knees shaky? Have you pain in the small of the back? These symptoms all tell you that your nerves are failing you; that you will grow old long before your time. HUDYAN will save you; HUDYAN will make a robust, strong, man of you. HUDYAN revives, restores, rejuvenates. Go to your druggist at once and get HUDYAN. No other remedy; just HUDYAN, for HUDYAN is what you need. Other symptoms of this terrible affliction that visits so many men are cold hands and feet, palpitation of the heart, hot flashes, clouded memory, nausea after eating, twitching of muscles, spots before the eyes, shooting pains, weariness, tremblings, sediment in urine, bleary eyes, swimming in ears, a shaky, all-gone feeling. Remember HUDYAN. Be a vigorous, robust man, a man with nerves of steel, a man with muscles of iron. HUDYAN is wonderful. HUDYAN is acknowledged by our leading medical men to be the greatest nerve and tissue builder known to med cal science. HUDYAN will lift you from that life of despondency and discouragement that you are now in, and will make of you a happy man. Try HUDYAN, you will soon be convinced. Hudyan Cures Women. K nerves.
