First, get a wife; second, be patient.
You may have great trials and per-
plexities in your business, but do not
therefore, carry to your home a cloudy
or contracted brow. Your wife may
have trials, which. though of less magni-
tude, may be hard for her to bear. A
kind word, a tender look, will do wonders
in chasing from her brow all clouds OF
gloom. To this we would add always
keep q bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy in the house. 1t is the best and
is sure to be needed sooner or later.
Your wife will then know that you real
ly care for her and wish to protect her
health. For sale by Z. S. Freeman.

YOPBKA'S CONVENTION.
ABILENE TRIED HARD BUT FELL
DOWN.
State Republican Convention Will Be
Held at Topeka August ll-Abi'
lene Received Five Votes on First
Ballot.

The Republican state convention
will be held at Topeka, Aug. II, COM
mencing at 10 o'clock noon.
The state central committee met in
the senate chamber at Topeka last
evening and proceeded to select time
and place for the meeting. Each ap-
plicant was allowed five minutes to
present its claims. Senator Sterne
talked for Topeka, Judge Green for
Hutchinson and Rev. DR.. Blayney for
Abilene. The first ballot gave Abb
lene 5, Topeka l6, Hutchinson IA.
The second: Abilene 8, Topeka IL,
Hutchinson IA. Topeka was declared
the winner and the date was then
fixed. The contest was good humored
throughout and Abilene's representa-
tives were in no way cast down. The
The fact was that this city entered
the contest too late, Hutchinson be-
gan working for the convention last
fall and has been gathering pledges
ever since yet it could not win. Both
Topeka and Hutchinson had pledged
Abilene second choice and had this
city secured enough votes to make a
deadlock it might have been victori-
Gus.
The one thing that made the result
most pleasing and took off the edge Of
defeat was that Cy Leland was dead
set on having the convention at
Hutchinson. Morrill, wanted 1t at
Topeka and Leland was determined to
spite the governor. The fact that a
majority Of the committee stood BY
the administration was a good-sized
straw as to its feelings on state poll.

SMITH WILL WIN.
Clay County's Candidate for Senator
Declines.

Clay Center Times: c. c. Coleman
authorizes the Times to announce
that after due consideration he has
concluded not to be candidate for
the nomination for senator from this
district. His reasons are purely
personal, and yet are strong enough
to make this decision irrevocable and
beyond reconsideration. He recog-
nizes gratefully the kind words and
acts Of many friends who stand ready
to support him before and after the
convention, and who have said SO
repeatedly, but feels that, for reasons
as above intimated, this is not his
year, and consequently will not allow
his name to 90 before the convention.
In view of the fact that Mr.. Cole
man positively refuses to be consider
ed a candidate for senator from this
district, or to allow his name to be
presented to the convention, perhaps
it would be as well to allow Dickinson
county to choose the man this year
The favorite down that way is Mr.
Smith and it is claimed that he il
much stronger than his party ir
Dickinson county.
