IL Is Important MS Every House

Jas. s. Kirk & Co, in placing upon
the market a preparation now so widely
known as Kinks Eos elixir of Soapl.
were determined to give the public
something better than had heretofore
been produced. One of the main con
siderations was TO have Il preparation SO
prepared and to consist of such chemi-
calls that 1t would be absolutely and
positively harmless. The deleterious
ingredients of so-called soap powders
of which they had made a test made
them more anxious thar ever to put
upon the market such a preparation as
Eos. While many soap powders are
sold for DC and Zoe per package (same
price as Eos they are not nearly as
cheap, for they are composed in large
part of chemicals that rot the clothing
and are injurious to the skin. Eos Is
therefore not only the cheapest. but the
best. That's why the people endorse 1t.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, March 17.-Dele-
gates by the score have been arriving con-
ytantly today to attend the populist state
convention, which will be called to order here
at IL O'Clock tomorrow morning. The state
central committee has spent the day making
final arrangements for the convention, which
promises to be most enthusiastic, and the
leaders have bsen making and breaking
states. Indications tonight seem to point to
the election OF Chairman Brledenthal and
Secretary Senple of the state central com
mittee and Congressman Harris and ex-Gov-
ernor Lewelling as delegates at-large, and
1t IL believed the resolutions will be in line
with the Omaha platform. As a rule the
delegates seem to be very much in doubt
as to what the st. Louis convention ought
to do, although there il an element, headed
by C. G. Clements of Topeka, to come out
squarely for a national ticket, without wait
ing for the republican and democratic parties
to act. The majority Ct the leaders, however,
ara in favor Of waiting until the old parties
declare themselves. The delegates seem to
be more interested in state affairs than those
of a national character. Senator William A.
PETER, eX-Congressman Harris and ex-Gov-
ernor Lewelling are being beomed by diff
ferent delegations for the gubernatcrial NOM
ination. Kansas will have the banner dele

CONFERENCE NOT EVEN SUGGESTED.
M~andersOn md Mckinley Forces
DENY IN RepOrt,

Henderson md Mckinley Forces
Deny a Report
What purported to be a report Of a con-
ference that was alleged to have been held
Monday night between the supporters of Man
derson and Mckinley. was printed in a local
publication yesterday. AS a matter of
course, it was a fake pure, and was pro-
nounced as such by those who are in a
position to know the facts.
The McKinleyites had a meeting and
determined on some features of their
line Of campaign, among them being a meet
ing to be held at Washington hall come
evening this week. The subject of a COM
promise with the Henderson people was not
even suggested, and the local leaders of the
Mckinley movement declare that nothing is
further from their thoughts.
At the Henderson headquarters it was
stated that the story was a pure fabrica-
ton, so far as the Henderson leaders were
concerned. Some of the outsiders might
have suggested a conference, but it had not
come from anyone who was authorized to
speak. 1t was added that a proposition had
been submitted by a Mckinley man Mon
day morning. But it was from a man who
could not be understood. to represent the
Mckinley people and they promptly turned
him down.

Town Clerks Estimate Of The Eumb:r of
Registry Voters.


Town Clerk Waterman made an estimate
this morning of the number of voters who
will probably be registered this year. Mr..
Waterman says the indications are that the
registration will be but little more than half
of what it was last year. Last year the regis
tration list reached 7Si. This year it may
not exceed 400. Two causes are given for this;
one is that it was the registration preceding
the national campaign, and the other is that
the Democrats and independent Republicans
waged strong local campaign last spring.
Mr.. Waterman counted the names he has thus
far registered i'm the different villages Of the
town. They are: Arlington, 43; Cranston,
1903; Edgewood and Pawtuxet, IS. Next
Thursday Clerk Waterman will be at Council
man Budlong's and Friday will spend the day
in District Hall, Auburn, to accommodate
those who wish TO register. The last three
days of this month Clerk Waterman will re-
main in his Office in town hall until 9 p. m.
Whipple and Orchard avenues in Arlington
are being curbcd.
