THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Davidson Would Lead To Victory As The Republican Nominee For Governor Of Kansas NINETH YEAR. Davidson Lead ' As The Republic Governor DAVIDSON CAN WIN. It is becoming more apparent each day to the Republicans of Kansas that Hon. Chas. L. Davidson of Sedgwick county, is the most logical candidate now before the people for the office of governor. Mr. Davidson has been a life long Republican and is absolutely free from any faction. He is most eminently fitted and well qualified and is the one man who, as the Republican standard bearer this year, can lead the party to victory. The Republicans of Kansas will sorely regret their action should they nominate a man for governor this year who has been identified with either faction of the party. As a strong Republican, with no factional enemies to punish or factional friends to reward, Chas L. Davidson can unite the party in Kansas and poll the full party vote for the entire ticket. The Republican party can only hope to win in Kansas this year by nominating such men as can unite the party vote and bring harmony out of the present party faction condition. And Chas L. Davidson is the man who can accomplish this. From the standpoint of party success in Kansas this year we trust to see the name of Chas. L. Davidson at the head of the Republican ticket as their candidate for governor. BAILEY WITHDRAWS. Ex-Governor Willis J. Bailey has witdrawn from the race for governor. The Assassin Is Rampant willingness to bring the Negro to his feet, in the rush of American prejudice to exterminate the American Negro and to stamp the Negro below the beast of the field, the white man has paid no attention to the thousands of blood-thirsty, government-nating men and women who every day are gladly welcomed to American shores. At the high increase on which anarchism is growing in this country it is only a question of time unty America will be rent from sea to sea and from pole to pole with anarchy and this country thrown into a most deplorable state. The doctrines of the American white man in his great unprovocated prejudice against the American Negro seems to be encouched in the words of Ben Tillman, of South Carolina, when he said, "To hell with the laws. We must down the Negro and kww him down." While every loyal, law-abiding citizen regardless to race or color deplores the continuous work of the anarchist cult, yet in the light of American history it must almost be admitted that the American white man is now just beginning "to reap" the harvest from the seed which he has been sowing for many years. When a Senator in the United States senate arises in his seat in that august body and is applauded when he says "Yes, we shoot the damn Niggers, we kill 'em, we drive 'em from the ballot box like damn dogs, and we'll do it again", when such a statement is heralded broadcast, the speaker banqueted and called "bravo" is it any wonder that in such a country where such a statement goes unchallenged in the highest legislative body; is it any wonder we ask, that the anarchist should conclude and select such a country for his nefarious work? The American white man is beginning to reap what he is and has sown. Under the banner of the "land of the free and the home of the brave" with their organic law declaring for "equality of all men" regardless of color. A look at the race prejudice, the race discriminations, the race ilsfranchisements, the many acts of Negro oppression and Negro depression practiced daily by the white man against the Negro and to see the sworn officers of the law from the President of the United States to the least township officers sit quietly and permit the violation of the law, as long as the Negro is the victim. Is it any wonder that in such a country the anarchist should take new courage to carry out his deadly work. Although every step taken by the American white man has for its ultimate end some act against the Negro, yet to the everlasting credit of the Negro it must be said, no Negro mother has ever yet given birth to a Negro anarchist and may God grant none ever will. The Negro has real cause for complaint, while the complaint of the anarchists are only imaginary. Shackled hand and feet, and fighting his captors and seeking to return to his native land the foreparents of the present day American Negro was unwillingly brought to these shores and thrust into vulgar, unchristian and barbarous slavery, and at the crack of the task master's whip and at the point of the shot-gun, defenselessly herder like cattle, the Negro was forced to toil and labor. He felled the trees, made the roads, raised the crops, built the houses and the white man lived in luxury from the sweat of the Negro's brow, anr when conditions were such that the white man could hold him no longer the Negro was thrown out pennilless, naked and without food or shelter. And in payment the same white men who owe their financial standing to the brawn and muscle of the Negro, seek to again tramp the Negro under foot. The Negro then, has real ground for complaint, yet in the face of all tais the Negro is loyal. He is not now and never will be an anarchist. The white man is now beginning to reap what he has sown. Just think of what Americo is coming to when the mayor of a city like Chicago must carry a heavy revolver day and night and does not dare go to bed at night without his house being guarded by detectives and police that the life of this official may be safe from the bullet or the bomb of the anarchist. But in the Southland when the Negro colleges were blown up by bombs thrown by white men, when Negroes were shot down by white men like rats, when Negro homes were burned and sacked, when the Negro is lynched by the white man without judge, jury or trial, when the Negro is discriminated against in the North, East, Southland West of America—is this American anarchy—or what is it? Yet who is permitted to guard the defenseless Negro, No one, and he is even denied an opportunity to defend himself. The American white man is just beginning to reap what he has sown. The white man should not complain when others try the tactics which he himself has laid. Many look at these anarchist out bursts as a mere local condition, but it is true, that if they long continue the time is not far distant when every American public official will hold his place in eminent danger. In order to rid this country of the anarchist the American white man must recognize the supremacy of the law himself and must not continue their ideas and practices of class legislation, but must make and enforce "ONE LAW" for all the people, regardless to race or nativity. The American white man must sooner or later realize the real danger from his American doctrines of Negro hatred and must recognize all men on the God-given basis of men pure and simple. READS GOOD IN PRINT—WILL THEY DO IT? We clip the following from the platform adopted by the Republican state convention of Ohio, held at Columbus, Ohio, Wednesday of this week, referring to the interests of the Negro: Would Defend the Negro. The civil and political rights of the American negro in every state believing as we do, that his marvelous propress in intelligence, industry and good citizenship has earned the respect and encouragement of the nation and that those legislative enactments that have for their real aim his disfranchisement for reasons of color alone, are unfair, un-American and repugnant to the supreme law of the land; we favor, the reduction of representation in congress and the electoral college in all states of this union where white and colored citizens are disfranchised, to the end that the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States may be enforced according to its letter and spirit. This same convention endorses Secretary William H. Taft for president and highly endorses the administration of President. In the above few words is given the full of all that the American Negro asks—civil and political rights. If the Republicans of this nation can assure the Negro that they will carry out the Onio platform plank in regards to the Negro they will find every Negro with them. But the Negro has been fooled so often—nationally speaking—that he must now be shown. Mrs. H. W. Reevely is reported ill. The revival meeting at the Baptist church is still going on. During the meeting there have been six converts. Mrs. Alva Turner is reported ill. Mr. Willie Beard, who has been sick for the past two weeks, is able to be out again. Mrs. George Johnson is reported some better. By MAIA BURNHAM It was within a fortnight of the opening of the Plaza de Toros in the capital, and agents had been scouring the immediate suburbs in search of bulls—young and sufficiently untamed to meet the requirements of the Corrida. The principal source of supply was drawn from one Maximo Gomez, a half-breed cattle owner. This season, however, had been an unusually unlucky one, inasmuch as disease had killed off a very large number of the cattle in that region, and Gomez had been one of the heaviest losers. Standing under the one shade-tree that his corral afforded he took a last disconsolate inventory of the thin and drooping animals browsing outside, and turned over in his hand the agent's letter. The man seemed to take a dismal satisfaction in reading and re-reading a document that promised prompt payment for the immediate delivery of several first-class bulls. He had spent the entire day in a vain endeavor to convince himself that he could fill the order, at least in part, and he had finally been forced to admit that he did not possess a single animal that say self-respecting matador would tolerate in the ring. And what was worse, none of his neighbors had any bulls to sell. The only man who might, if he would, help him out of the matter was Don Pedro Benavente, a rich rancher, whose territory ran parallel with Gomez' at the western boundary. Stooping, he caught up the lasso that he had thrown down in final disgust, and was about to leave the corral when a short, deep bellow in the distance attracted his attention. He stopped and listened. Presently he heard it again, this time a little nearer. He walked toward the gateway and waited. In a few moments the animal appeared, crashing through the shrubbery that bordered the clearing, and Gomez saw that it was not one of his. It was a young bull that had evidently strayed through some break in a neighbor's fence and, attracted by the lowing of the nearby cattle, had 'found its way to Gomez' corral. The man stood perfectly still until it came near enough, then his arm flashed upward and the noose described three circles over his head, falling neatly around the neck of the startled animal. He tied the rope to a fence-bar and inspected his prize. It was a splendid animal, and, as he had suspected, it bore the curious and unmistakable brand of Benavente. For a long while he stood considering, and pulling nervously at his black moustache. Not that he was harassed by any conscientious scruples, nor that he was wasting any thought on the ethics of the case, but he knew that a convicted cattle-thief was dealt with summarily and most unpleasantly in that region, and so he weighed most carefully his chances of eluding discovery. By leaving the ranch at dawn he could have the animal well out of the district before it would be even missed, and once delivered to the agent, who was not abnormally curious in matters of this kind, all trace of the bull would be speedily lost. The sound of his horse's retreating hoofs had scarcely died away when the scattered cattle turned their heads in the opposite direction, where a great disturbance in the underbrush had suddenly begun. With much crackling of broken twigs and swaying of foliage, a horse and rider emerged into the open. The horse was an ordinary broncho, but the GOOSE GUARDS A FARMHOUSE Since two of their fraternity have been driven off and badly beaten by the farm's strange protector tramps are giving the home of James H. Sholl, a Burlington farmer, a wide berth. This guardian of the Sholl home is Patsy, the king of a flock of geese. Terrified human cries, mingled with the fierce honking of the old gander rider could not have been duplicated anywhere between that ranch and the frontier. It was a fact, a remarkably pretty girl, in a fashionable shirtwaist and correct riding skirt, gloveless and hatless, her heavy golden braids coiled round and round on her shapely head. She immediately spied the solitary bull in the corral. "Oh, you young sinner!" she called out gayly. "What a chase you've given me! But you see, these people have found out and shut you up in there to keep you for us; and now I am going to take you home!" Riding round to the gate, she dismounted, and managed, with some difficulty, to lower the bars; the imprisoned bull, meanwhile, standing with irritably twitching tail, and watching the proceedings with a suspicious and unfriendly eye. His neck still smarted from the viciously tightening tug of Gomez' lasso, and he was in a mood to resist any further bullying. When the newcomer rode into the corral he faced about and tore angrily at the earth with his horns. The girl instantly drew rein. She had not seen a bull do this before and she felt the first twinge of alarm. Before she had time to turn back he had rushed almost upon them, with head lowered for battle. The rider struggled with all her young might to regain control of an animal that had no better instinct, in fending for himself, than to run wildly in the wrong direction. It was useless. Then, her wits returning to her, she remembered her pistol, and with a quick wrenching open of the holster, and an aim that was fairly steady, she fired, cutting a red furrow in the thick skin of the bull's neck. This was for a moment, effective. He stopped short, bellowed furiously, and tossed up a cloud of dust. She fired again—and missed. Suddenly, in the confusion, just how she never remembered—everything was different. The desperate horse had wheeled—not quite in time. The bull had caught him on one horn, a blow glancing but deadly, tearing a hideous gash in his sides. The poor animal sank to its knees with a grean. Her face distorted with terror, the girl kicked away the stfirrup, clutched the saddle-born with both hands, and swung to her feet. At the same moment her horse lurched heavily forward and rolled over. The next instant a lasso flashed before her eyes, and she saw the bull swerve aside. A reassuring voice called out to her, and she turned to see Maximo Gomez making fast the rope. But she was too frightened to realize just what had happened. "Oh, help me over!" she gasped; "I shall be killed!" "I've got him!" called the man. "He is tied fast. Wait there. I will come in and look at your horse. It seems to be badly hurt." He dismounted and climbed lightly over the bars. "It may not die," he said, after examining the wound. "But it will be quite useless for a long time. Have you far to go?" "I am visiting the family of Senor Benavente. I am a stranger here. Can you lend me some kind of an animal to carry me home?" "Assuredly, Senorita." He turned again to the wounded horse, which lay passively on its side, breathing heavily. With several quick slashes the girth fell away, and the man removed the saddle. "You must wait a little," he said, and the savage flapping of his wings, awakened the family of Mr. Sholl a night or two ago in time to see in the moonlight a badly-frightened tramp legging it down the lane toward the public road. The marauder's intention of raiding the poultys-house had evidently been interfered with before he got the door open, and his battle with the big gander had been (Copyright.) NO. 51 spreading the small blanket on the ground beside her, "until I can get your saddle patched up. Will you rest here while I work at it?" He crossed the fence again, and presently returned with the girth strap from his own saddle. He seated himself on the ground, a short distance away; and set about securing the slender leather thongs to the smaller saddle. The girl, hugging her knees, watched him curiously. After awhile she asked: "Do you not wonder how it is that I came to be fighting a bull in your corral?" "Well, Senorita, I will own that it does not happen every day." His keen eyes rested on her in a strangely wistful manner. "You had a narrow escape. I came pretty fast when I heard the pistol shots." The girl turned her glance for an instant toward the wounded horse, and shivered. "It was fairly close. I was never so frightened in all my life. Senior Benavente's vaqueros are rounding up the stragglers, and I have been on the hills with them every day. It is great sport. To-day I let one get away. I saw him go through a break in the fence and I followed, but lost track of him for awhile in the thick underbrush by the river. Then I heard your cattle, and knew he must have come over here." Gomez' fingers were still busy with the saddle straps, but his eyes scarcely left the fair young face before him. When he had repaired the saddle Gomez stood up. "I am going to put your saddle on my horse now," he said. A few moments later he led his animal into the corral. He helped her mount and she gathered up the reins, beaming upon him. "You will receive your horse to-morrow, when we send for the bull. I leave for New York in a very few days, but I shall never forget that you saved my life this afternoon; and if you ever need a friend I hope you will write to me, to the address I will send you." She held out her hand. "Good-bye!" Gomez felt the touch of her cool fingers for a bewildered instant, and then he knew that she was gone and he would never see her again. He went over to the wounded horse and lifted its head. It was dead. Lying on the ground, where it had been hidden by the thick mane, lay a small pistol. He picked it up. It was an ordinary revolver of no great value, but he jerked off the silk handkerchief that was knotted about his throat and rolled the pistol in it. As he did this his eye fell upon a small yellow object shining near his foot—a small gold hairpin, curiously wrought—a fragment of the aureole! The pistol he would return, but this—this she surely would not miss! Surely the young saint with the heavy gold braids had many more such! Reverently he turned it over in his hand, as he might a blessed relic of the church, and felt in his pockets for something to hide it in. He pulled out the agent's letter. Very carefully he shaped a neat little packet about his treasure. Taking out his old tobacco pouch he spilled the brown powder on the ground, slapping it against his knee to be sure that every particle of the ill-smelling stuff was dislodged. When the paper packet had been securely fitted into this he thrust it into his breast. Then, in the soft gray light of the swiftly-dying day, Maximo Gomez left the corral. Valuable Document Stolen. The correspondent of the Paris Eclair at Cherbourg declares that a record of experiments has disappeared from the torpedo department at the arsenal. This document, which has been kept for 11 years, contained valuable information regarding the handling of the various types of torpedoes, and it is believed to be impossible to replace it.

The tramp left minus a portion of his trousers. Also he learned that the bite of a goose is like the pinch of a vise, and a blow from its wings like the blow of a pugilist. The gander on another occasion drove off a tramp who was begging. At another time the bird lost half of its beak in a fight with a dog that tried to kill some goslings, and it has beaten hawks, pigs and even a cow that had traversed beyond their proper domain.—Burlington (N.

MILLER, Editor. KNIGHTS AND DAUGHTERS ARE PASSING AWAY ONE BY ONE. Together with other humanity who ‘are silently crossing to the great be yond, one by one, we number tae once living members of the Order of Twelve with the dead. Each funeral preached, each death policy paid, each vacant chair, is a sad reminder to the living that ere many days have passed, we all, each of us must like those who have gone gefore us, one by one, we must be Jaid to rest. Death is ever present in the land,and on eitaer side we see him pluck here a Knight, there a Daughter, yonder a Page, and over there a Maid. Gone, yes, gone; never to return. Al though we are often called to witness the unhindered hand of death, yet with each visitation we look with awe, with amazement, with wonder and with sor row. We are unable to welcome him to our home or our fire-side. Sad, in- dcea, let us ask “On whom will death next call?” None can answer. It is a sad thought when we for only one short ‘moment permit our mind to reflect and recall those Knights and Daughters who were so keenly interested in the ‘Order of Twelve and who, many of them, have met each year in the var- fous Grand Sessions, lending taeir aid to build the Order of Twelve. and con- secrating themselves to their God, to the Order and for humanity, but today they are gone; their voices are hushed in death. No more will we meet them 4n our Grand Sessions or in our Tem- ples, Tabernacles or Tents, ‘The memory of each Knight, Daugh ter, each Page and each Maid shoul act as a cement to more solidly cement tae members of the Order of Twelve together.

Rouse, of Cambridge, N. Y., says: "Five years ago I had a bad fall and it affected my kidneys. Severe pains in my back and hips became constant, and sharp twinges followed any exertion. The kidney secretions were badly discolored. I lost flesh I had a bad rain and it affected my kidneys. Severe pains in my back and hips became constant, and sharp twinges followed any exertion. The kidney secretions were badly discolored. I lost flesh and grew too weak to work. Though constantly using medicine I despaired of being cured until I began taking Doan's Kidneys Pills. Then relief came quickly, and in a short time I was completely cured. I am now in excellent health." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Sunday School Lessons for the World. A power greater than that of kings seems to have been wielded by the little group of thoughtful men who gathered at the Fenway residence of W. N. Hartshorn to select the lessons for the Sunday schools of the world says the Boston Herald. Every year they gather to make this choice, and when a decision has been reached the lessons are handed out to the printers and by them literally scattered over the planet. The word thus goes forth not in one but in scores of languages. Europe and Africa, east and west, north and south, get these helps to religious study in the vernacular. There is a supply for Hawaii, Japan and the islands of the sea. For India alone 40 dialects have to be provided for. Some 500,000,000 Sunday school leaflets are thus distributed every year. Deafness Cannot Be Cured by the complications, and cannot be reused in a diseased portion of the ear.

People who know only the poverty to be found in villages and small cities have no conception of the terrible conditions in crowded city tenements. For those conditions no one set of persons is to blame. The cause is simply that too many people try to live on an acre of land. A deep social struggle results, of which the recent "strike" of tenants in New York is an explosion. Hundreds of tenants agreed not to pay their rent on January 1 unless the landlords lowered the rates. The legal complications and the delays of eviction and court processes gave the tenants an advantage. The landlords maintained that the increase of rents in recent years represents the rise of values, and the higher cost of living, of building and of maintaining apartments to comply with the tenement house laws. The merits of the case, or rather of thousands of cases, cannot be decided in a word. Many sociologists and philanthropists, although not formally allied with the strikers, maintained that they were humanly, if not legally, right, and that rents have been increased out of proportion to the added expenses. One of the evils that has become plain in this conflict is that of sub-letting, says the Youth's Companion. The owner lets the building to the agent, the agent lets apartments to individuals, who in turn sublet rooms. Several profits thus come out of the poorest occupants. The reduction of this evil and of others will be promoted by the "strike." The tenants have seized on the laws for weapons, and have called down the board of health and other officials upon the landlords for offenses which have not before been complained of. The result is that New York has had its eyes opened to the entire tenement-house problem. The ultimate solution is to lead these hived people out of the city into the open lands; and the efforts of several societies to coax immigrants away from the slums will be helped by this "anti-rent" war. Conception of the Sphinx Conception of the Sphinx. It is, I think, one of the most astounding facts in the history of man that a man was able to contain within his mind, to conceive, the conception of the Sphinx. That he could carry it out in the stone is amazing. But how much more amazing it is that before there was the Sphinx he was able to se it with his imagination, writes Robert Hichens in the Century. One may criticise the Sphinx. One may say impertinent things that are true about it: that seen from behind at a distance its head looks like an enormous mushroom growing in the sand; that its cheeks are swelled inordinately; that its thin-lipped mouth is legal; that from certain places it bears a resemblance to a prize bulldog. All this does not matter at all. What does matter is that into the conception and execution of the Sphinx has been poured a supreme imaginative power. He who created it looked beyond Egypt, beyond the life of man. He grasped the conception of eternity, and realized the nothingness of time, and he rendered it in stone. When England in 1890 gave Germany Heligoland in return for concessions in Africa, Admiral Colomb and other naval critics thought it doubtful whether this little rocky isle in the North sea could be effectively fortified, and expressed the belief that Germany had sacrificed strategy to sentiment. The present plan of Germany to spend $7,500,000 on fortifications suggests that strategic considerations may have had a place also. The completion of the Guatemala railroad, which runs from the Gulf of Honduras on the east coast to Guatemala City, and thence to the Pacific, is an event that encourages the hope of more prosperous times, greater stability and fewer revolutions in Central America. The effect of the competition of the Tehuantepec line farther north and of this one upon the traffic of the Panama canal may be considerable. A dispatch from London relates that while the notorious suffragette, Mrs. Pankhurst, was conducting a meeting at Newton Abbot, Devonshire, a farmer in the audience stood up and publicly offered to marry her. Mrs. Pankhurst replied freezingly that she was not there to answer personal questions. The farmer rejoined that he thought as she was a widow a husband would be useful to her as a voter. Here's the prince of Monaco giving public notice that he will not be responsible for the debts incurred by his son, who is living a gay life in Parfs. Can the young man have been gambling outside of his father's principality? The estimate of Count Szechenyi's private income at $70,000 per year in indicates that with a little bolstering from his wife's resources he ought to be able to keep up appearances for awhile. WINTER WHEAT CROP WINTER WHEAT CROP HE REALIZED $38 PER ACRE. HIS OATS $37 PER ACRE IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA, WESTERN Coadalde, Alta, Can., Nov. 19, 1907. Sir: I beg to say that this year we had 349 acres of grain, consisting of 197 acres of spring wheat and 152 acres of oats. The average yield of wheat was 38 bushels per acre and oats 74 bushels. We were offered $1.00 per bushel for wheat and 50 cents for oats, making the acre values for the two crops $38.00 and $37.00 respectively. We also had 50 tons of hay worth $13.00 per ton, and 500 bushels of potatoes, worth 60 cents per bushel, the latter off $2½ acres of ground. Our best yields this year were 107 acres of wheat, making 41 bushels per acre at $1.00 per bushel, would be $41.00 per acre; 47 acres of oats, yielding 95 bushels per acre were sold for 50 cents per bushel. Proceeds, $47.00 per acre. I might add that 50 acres of our oats were "stubbled in." During the spring of 1906, we hired about 300 acres broken by steam. We put in and harvested 55 acres of grain last year, did the remainder of our breaking, worked up the ground and seeded this year's entire crop, put in seven acres of alfalfa and five acres of garden potatoes, trees, etc., all with one four-horse team. During harvest we hired other teams, but, aside from this, and part of the breaking, the one team did the work of raising practically 19,000 bushels of grain, worth $12,000. Yours truly, W. H. PAWSON, JR. WINTER WHEAT 25 TO 30 BUSH ELS TO THE ACRE IN SOUTH- ERN ALBERTA. Warner, Alta, Canada, Jan. 9, 1908. Dear Sir: This is the first year of farming in this settlement. Mr. A. L. Warner raised twenty-five hundred and fifteen bushels of fine winter wheat on one hundred acres of breaking and Tenny brothers had sixty acres that went thirty bushels per acre. The winter wheat that is in this year looks fi ne. Spring wheat here went thirty bushels per acre, oats fifty to eighty, barley fifty, and flax ten to fifteen on sod. The settlers here are all well pleased with the country. The stock have not required any feed except the grass up to this date and are all fat. Yours truly. (Information as to how to reach these districts, rates, etc., can be secured from any agent of the Canadian government, whose advertisement appears elsewhere.—Ed.) The Flatterer. The tramp had applied to the farmer's wife for assistance. "You have a beautiful voice, lady," he said. She looked interested. "Have I?" "Yes, ma'am; I'd rather hear you say no, lady, than most other women say yes." Then she drove back the dog and gave the wanderer half a loaf and a chunk of cold beef. CURED HER CHILDREN. Girls Suffered with Itching Eczema— Baby Had a Tender Skin, Too— Relied on Cuticura Remedies. "Some years ago my three little girls had a very bad form of eczema. Itching eruptions formed on the backs of their heads which were simply covered. I tried almost everything, but failed. Then my mother recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful ointment, Cuticura. I did this four or five times and I can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so pump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme.

Accordingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is the only remedy of known value, but one of many reasons why it is the best of personal and family laxatives is the fact that it cleanses, sweetens and relieves the internal organs on which it acts without any debilitating after effects and without having to increase the quantity from time to time. It acts pleasantly and naturally and truly as a laxative, and its component parts are known to and approved by physicians, as it is free from all objectionable substances. To get its beneficial effects always purchase the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading drug-gists. LITTLE VISITS WITH "UNCLE BY" Copyright: 1907; by Byron Williams. At the Lake. She was such a dainty maiden! And her age about eighteen. She was quite the sweetest charmer That the chappie boys had seen. Each one told her of his longing— In a hammock, or a boat When along some shady shallows, In a dreamland, they would float! One by one she fascinated Every man, save one, who came— Every chappie, beseeching, Sought the miss to change her name Ah! they told her how they loved her, How her love for them would grow— But the maiden yearned and waited And to each one answered, "No!" A. Romance. A beautiful romance of Chicago has just culminated in a wedding. Two months ago a young lady, a very pretty, vivacious young lady, with brown eyes like the stars and lips like a Jack rose, went into a music store. The clerk was out to lunch and the proprietor came forward. "Er—Have you 'A Heart That Beats for Me?' asked the pretty young lady, with a delightful mouse—whatever that is. The proprietor took one good look at her, sized up her luscious charms and managed to gasp: "I'm game if you are?" Now they each have a heart that beats for either—in this case, pronounced "eyether." Mind Meanderings. A close relative is one from whom you cannot borrow money. One way to remove paint is to kiss it off. The skunk has a lot of common scents about him. A doctor frequently gets rich on ill gotten gains. An eastern metropolis is to have a "monster cat" show. The biggest cat I ever saw weighed twenty pounds.

Rash man, perhaps the neighbors would have brought in something and tided him over the hungriest days. The industry of a gas meter is wonderful to behold. When a man takes a prescription to a drug store calling for two parts of whisky to one part of quinine, he is never very mad if the druggist is just out of quinine. It is a very different story, however, if he is short the whisky. A Pittsburg man has been sent to the penitentiary during the 89th year of his age. The authorities should be congratulated.

Ha, here is a snake story at last! "A dozen rattlesnakes are reported to have taken possession of an express car on a Maryland railway the other day, driving the messenger out and running things sinuously until killed in a hand-to-hand fight with the train crew." Next! An Iowa man had a cat that he did not want. Therefore, he took the cat 24 miles into the country, locked him in a barn and started for home. When he arrived home the cat was NOT there and is more, has not come back at all! A prominent Y. M. C. A. worker says no young man can share a hymn book with a pretty girl and hear what the preacher is saying. Who in thunder cares what the preacher says when a fellow already is in Heaven? The trouble with most people is not that they haven't brains, but that they don't know how to use what they have. I never see a pig pulling at a rope attached to his leg but I think of some married men I have known. Some low-down Iowa jokers put a lot of cracker crumbs in the bride and groom's bed and then went out under the trees and "snickered." When I think of the above it makes me so mad I am going to quit work for to-day. There's no use trying to be a humorist with so many mean people in the world.

Says Pe-ru-na is a Valuable Nerve and Blood Remedy. 1910 MISS BESSIE FARRELL. MISS BESSIE FARRELL 1011 Third Ave., Brooklyn, N. Y., is President of the Young People's Christian Temperance Association. She writes: "Peruna is certainly a valuable nerve and blood remedy, calculated to build up the broken-down health of worn-out women. I have found by personal experience that it acts as a wonderful restorer of lost strength, assisting the stomach to assimilate and digest the food, and building up worn-out tissues. In my work I have had occasion to recommend it freely, especially to women. "I know of nothing which is better to build up the strength of a young mother, in fact, all the ailments peculiar to women, so I am pleased to give it my hearty endorsement." Dr. Hartman has prescribed Peruna for many thousand women, and he never fails to receive a multitude of letters like the above, thanking him for the wonderful benefits received.

The greatest drawback to the hog industry which breeders in this country have to contend with is what is known as "hog cholera" and "swine plague." Hog cholera is a highly contagious disease and unless checked is liable to carry off a great number of hogs in a very short time. Mr. A. P. Williams, of Burnetts Creek, Ind., tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. "Five years ago," says Mr. Williams, "I was in the employ of Mr. J. D. Richardson, Lafayette, Ind., as his barn foreman. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I gave them Sloan's Liniment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not drink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and always find it O. K."

Mrs. Intheswim Intended to Draw Social Line in Heaven, The minister had dropped in to tea, and the conversation had drifted through various channels to the question of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical befits would be perpetuated, and that recognition would be assured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Biblical characters they would be most interested in recognizing. Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social exclusiveness, had not spoken. Turning to her the minister said: "And who would you like to meet in heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?"* Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. "I really don't know," she said, "but there is one thing I do know, and that is that I shouldn't care to meet Eve. In fact, I don't know that I would speak to her if I did!"

The surgeon's duties require clear judgment and a steady hand. A slip or an unnecessary incision may do irreparable damage to the patient. When he found that coffee drinking caused his hands to tremble, an Ills. surgeon conscientiously gave it up and this is his story. "For years I was a coffee drinker until my nervous system was nearly broken down, my hands trembled so I could hardly write, and insomnia tortured me at night. "Besides, how could I safely perform operations with unsteady hands, using knives and instruments of precision? When I saw plainly the bad effects of coffee, I decided to stop it, and three years ago I prepared some Postum, of which I had received a sample. "The first cupful surprised me. It was mild, soothing, delicious. At this time I gave some Postum to a friend who was in a similar condition to mine, from the use of coffee. "A few days after, I met him and he was full of praise for Postum, declaring he would never return to coffee but stick to Postum. We then ordered a full supply and within a short time my nervousness and consequent trembling, as well as insomnia, disappeared, blood circulation became normal, no dizziness nor heat flashes. "My friend became a Postum enthusiast, his whole family using it exclusively. "It would be the fault of the one who brewed the Postum, if it did not taste good when served. "The best food may be spoiled if not properly made. Postum should be boiled according to directions on the pkg. Then it is all right, anyone can rely on it. It ought to become the national drink."

KANSAS ITEMS 4 Stabbed and Crushed His Skull. — David Fantroy, an old negro who is said to have been a jointist, was found murdered in his home at Lawrence. His head had been beaten with an ax and he had been stabbed in and about the heart six times with a large knife. Kansan Killed by Train. — William Rutherford of Larned was run over and killed by Santa Fe train No. 4 at Kinsley. He boarded the train at Dodge City and wished to get off at Kinsley. It is believed that as No. 4 does not stop there he attempted to jump off and fell under the train. The body was frightfully mangled, the arms and legs being broken in several places and the head badly crushed. Rutherford was about 21 years old and was married. His parents also live in Larned. Fire Drill Saves Children.—The remarkable coolness and presence of mind of the teachers and the splendid fire drill training of the children were the means of averting a possible appalling loss of life when the public school at Holsington burned. When fire broke out there were 300 children attending classes in the various rooms of the building. The signal for a fire drill was given and before more than a few of the children were aware it was not one of the frequent practice drills, every one of them had flown out of the burning building. The loss is estimated at $16,000. Will Serve Without Salary. — For the first time in the history of Leavenworth, a municipal ticket was nominated at a big mass meeting which in all probability will have no opposition at the election the first week in April. Leavenworth recently adopted the commission form of city government and the men selected recently will serve as mayor and commissioners. Every member has pledged himself to serve without salary. The mayor will be allowed enough to pay a secretary and stenographer. Both political parties have practically agreed to indorse the ticket. One of the commissioners selected is the present city treasurer, who fought the commission but who is chosen because of his recognized ability. Private Secretary to Anthony. — M. J. Burries of Burrton has been appointed private secretary to Congressman D. R. Anthony. Burries was already in Washington. He has been holding a position in the post-office department. Schneck and Stewart Bound Over. — Justice Robbins bound over for trial in the district court without ball Frank Schneck and Mollie Stewart, charged with the murder of Schneck's wife and two little children at Centropolis the night of February 3, 1907. Telegraph Operator Back. — The Missouri Pacific has restored the telegraph operator at the station of Toronto, in Woodson county. Toronto was one of the towns which made a kick soon after the Missouri Pacific took action and while the Missouri Pacific in its communication to the state board of railroad commissioners gave no reason for reassigning an operator to Toronto it is likely that it marks the beginning of other restorations. Wright Found to be Innocent. — Sylvester Wright of Osage county has been paroled from the state penitentiary by Gov. Hoch. Wright is a young man and was sent up for a long term on a statutory crime. The complaining witness was Wright's sister-in-law, and since he went to the penitentiary it has developed that he was not the guilty person. Reward For Murderer—Gov. Hoch has offered a reward of $100 for the arrest and conviction of the slayer of David Fantroy, the old negro who was murdered in Lawrence recently. May Become Army Chaplain.—Rev. R. R. Fleming, of Newton, pastor of the First Baptist church, was notified that he had been designated by the secretary of war to take an examination at Fort Riley this month for a commission in the army as chaplain. Rev. Mr. Fleming is only 25 years of age and is a North Carolinian by birth. He was indorsed by Senator Long for the position. Governor Appointed Women. — Gov Hoch has appointed the following commission of Kansas women to raise money to preserve historic Pawnee Rock, in Pawnee county: Mrs. J. S. Simmons, Hutchinson; Mrs. W. Y. Morgan, Hutchinson; Mrs. W. A. Johnston, Topeka; Mrs. L. J. Myser, Sterling; Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, Courtland; Mrs. Ida Wilson, Abilene; Mrs. Grace Bowman, Pawnee Rock. El Dorado Gets Money Back. — Twenty years ago El Dorado city gave the Missouri Pacific railroad $15,000 in bonds and 35 acres of land to build and maintain a roundhouse and machine shops there. About two years ago the road moved their shops to Wichita and El Dorado city brought suit to recover the money and land. A compromise was agreed to, the city receiving $5,000 and 20 acres of land. 800 Converted at Mankato. — An evangelist named Oliver has been conducting a revival at Mankato and 800 people surrendered to the influence of his preaching, although the town has only about 1,000 people. Many of the people who attended the meetings were from the country and some of them came ten and fifteen miles. At the close of the meeting a voluntary contribution of $1,684 was given the evangelist. Short Weight Flour.—S. J. Crumbline, state pure food inspector, has secured reports from the experts in the employ of his department showing that several kinds of flour are being sold on the Kansas market in short weight sacks and is preparing to bring the manufacturers to time. He has also evidence showing that preservatives are being used in certain brands of canned goods now on the market. Most of these canned goods are from outside the state, and the information concerning them will probably be turned over to the federal officers. A Grand Masonic Home. — When the proposed addition is completed to the Masonic home this summer Wichita will have in its city one of the largest and most imposing Masonic homes in the United States. It was decided in the grand lodge council, which convened in Topeka recently that an addition be made to the state home, costing $20,000. The addition will be built with a 60 foot front adjoining the present main building on the south. It is to be built entirely of stone and in a style of architecture corresponding to the present building. The new building will be devoted entirely to the use of the children. The lower floor will contain the study rooms and play rooms. The second floor will be used as a girls' dormitory and the third floor as the boys' dormitory. Each dormitory will contain every modern convenience and will be fitted up with shower baths. The attendants' rooms will also be situated in this part of the building. A manual training room in the basement will be another advantage to the home boys in the near future. Work will begin May 1. Kansan Sent to Guatemala.—As a result of a conference between Secretary Root of the state department and Senators Curtis and Long and Congressman Anthony Major William Heimke of Leavenworth was appointed as envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary to Guatemala, Central America, at an annual salary of $10,000. What Kansas Charity Costs. — The report of the cost of the maintenance of state charitable institutions for the last quarter of 1907 has been filed by the state board of control and is $55,000 greater than the last quarter of 1906. The institutions have increased in size and some salaries have been enlarged. The cost for the various institutions was as follows: Topeka hospital, $81,000; Osawatomie hospital, $96,000; Parsons hospital, $39,000; Winfield imbecile school, $34,000; school for deaf, $23,000; school for blind, $12,000; Orphans' Home, $18,000; boys' industrial school, $26,000; girls' industrial school, $21,000. Fight is About Over—The fight of the state of Kansas against the so-called millers' trust is practically won. Though the attorney general's office will not say anything on the matter yet, it is authoritatively understood that the fight is about over. The millers, it is claimed, are willing to abide by the temporary injunction secured by the state, and that the terms of a permanent injunction are under consideration. No violations have been found since the case was started and there have been no meetings of the so-called "club." CAUGHTI Minneapolis Journal The Big One That Did Not Get Away. BRADLEY ELECTED A Republican Senator Named in Kentucky After a Deadlock Lasting Six Weeks. FOUR DEMOGRATIC VOTES Beckham the Democrat Chosen at a Primary Could Not Carry the Strength of His Party in the Legislature. Frankfort, Ky., Mar. 1—Amid scenes of wildest excitement on the floor of the house of representatives, Former Governor William O'Connell Bradley, Republican candidate, was Friday elected to succeed James B. McCreary in the United States senate for a term of six years, beginning March 4, 1909. He received 64 votes, barely enough to win. He was enabled to gain victory through the assistance of four anti-Beckham Democrats, Senators H. S. McNutt and Albert Charlton, and Representatives Chris Mueller of Louisville, and E. W. Lillard of Boyle county. Until Friday they have voted for Democrats for senator and their sudden rally to Bradley took Beckham men completely by surprise, although the latter claim to have information that a deal was effected by which the liquor forces were to elect Bradley in return for the defeat of the county unit bill in the senate. The completion of the first roll call showed Bradley 64, Beckham 60, Blackburn 1, James 1. Before the speaker could announce the result the Democrats obtained a recapitulation, and attempted to break the quorum by leaving the hall, but came back accompanied by Beckham, who authorized the withdrawal of his name and released the Democrats from the primary nomination pledge to him in hope that some other Democrat would be named who could defeat Bradley. The four bolting Democrats were surrounded by life-long party friends and urged to withdraw their support from Bradley and elect James McCreary or any Democrat they might name, but they remained obdurate, declaring that the proposition came too late. The Democratic leaders promised a caucus to select a candidate to which the name of Beckham would not be presented, but the recalcitrants refused all offers, and the result could not be changed. The ballot was completed after the Democrats finished changing their votes as follows: Bradley 64, Beckham 16, James 15, McCreary 10, Mayo 5, Allen 2, Smith 2, Peak 2, Newman 1, Hunt 1, Elliston 1, Stanley 1, Blackburn 1, Cantrill 1, Ellis 1, Cammack 1, Sullivan 1, McElroy 1. There was great disorder in the chamber during recapitulation the Republicans demanding the speaker to announce the result, and the Democrats seeking to delay, hoping to induce bue of the Democrats to leave Bradley. In a speech accepting his election, Bradley thanked the speaker for his fair and impartial rulings. He promised to use every effort as senator to secure the repeal of the six-cent tax on tobacco. Representative Lillard was the only one of the Democrats to explain his vote for Bradley. He said he thought the time to throw off the party shackles and to break up the machine and although he did support the Democratic ticket for 40 years he believed his vote for Bradley was the best Democratic vote he ever cast.

The Building Occupied a Whole Block and Contained 740 Cars—Paint Factory Also Destroyed. New York, Mar. 3.—Two fires that brought out all the fire apparatus in the upper section of the city and raged in lively fashion from mid-night until dawn Sunday, burned down the car barns of the New York City Railway company on Second avenue in Harlem and the paint factory of George W. Grote & Co., only a few blocks distant. There were 740 surface cars burned in the destruction of the barns and the loss to the company is estimated at $2,500,000. The loss on the paint factory is given as $125,000. It was the railway people's second serious fire within the year, the former blaze having destroyed the Madison avenue car barns. The car barns took up the block bounded by First and Second avenues and Ninety-sixth and Ninety-seventh streets, and though torrents of water were poured on the blazing building, the fire did not subside until it had levelled the three floors to the ground. The fire started in a paint shop on the second floor. During the progress of the fire the police ordered scores of families, living opposite the barns, to leave the tenements. While the apparatus was at the carn barn fire two alarms were turned in for a spectacular fire in the paint factory of George W. Grote & Co., occupying a four-story building on One Hundred and Second street. The paints and oils blazed furiously and within a short time the building was in ruins. Mine Conference Failed. Indianapolis, Mar. 1.—The joint committee of the coal operators and miners of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and western Pennsylvania comprising the central competitive field, adjourned Friday evening sine die without reaching an agreement upon the proposition to call a joint convention to re-establish the interstate agreement and fix a wage scale to go into effect April 1, when the present scale expires. The final disagreement is the climax to months of argument which characterized joint meetings held in October, December and January. Unless concessions are made the union bituminous coal miners of the country will cease work March.31. Favors Widow's Pensions. Washington, Mar. 3.—The widow's pension bill which was passed by the house was reported favorably to the senate Monday by Senator McCumber, chairman of the committee on pensions. It increases to $12 per month the pensions drawn by widows of soldiers who served in any Indian war, the war with Mexico or the Civil war. The senate committee added a provision removing certain marriage restrictions, which provision it is estimated would add about 20,000 to the list of pensioners, at a cost of $2,880,000 a year. The estimated annual cost of the bill as reported is $14,678,112. Rev. Gow Released on Bond. Rev. Gow Release on Bond Troy, Mo., Mar. 1—Rev. Clyde W. Gow, pastor of the Methodist church, South, of Elsberry, who was arrested and brought to jail here following the death of Miss Elizabeth Gleason who died from an operation and accused him a dying statement, has been admitted to bail in the sum of $3,500 to answer to a statutory charge. Rev. Gow has refused to waive examination and his preliminary hearing has been set for March 10. He was a leader in the so-called "morality campaign" which recently swept Lincoln county.
