COUNTED THE VOTES.
Rival Candidates for = Kansas County Once
Settle Their Contest.

Topeka. Kan. Nov. s7--A story Of a
remarkable political incident comes
from Phillips county. The republicans
nominated Frank Strain for probate
Judge. The opposition nominated J.
II. Ham for the same position. When
the ballots were counted each was re-
ported TO have received the same num-
Der Of votes. Both gentlemen said
they were opposed to casting lots for
the place, for it was gambling, but II
the commissioners would let them
have all the ballots they would re-
count them and see which had ma
jority, as they knew ballots had been
thrown out through some irregularity
which by right should have been
counted; that they would see what the
intention of the voter had been and so
record his ballot The commissioners
agreed to the proposition made, and
gave them the ballots, which they
took away and counted. After awhile
they returned, and Ham said: "ln
recounting the ballots we find
that ten votes which were thrown
out should have been counted
for Mr.. Strain and six for N.Y.
self, which gives Mr.. Strain four ma
jority Please issue the certificate Of
election to him, as he was duly elect
ed" Mr.. Strain arose and said "Gen.
tlemen. regret very much 10 defeat
so honorable a man, and | wish 1t had
been my province to have congratu-
lated him on his election" after which
the gentlemen shook hands and de.
parted.

REASONS FOR THE OPEN INVITATION
Sufferer Catarrh Bronchitis
Other MaIady to Trial Treatment Entirely

The purpose of this invitation
extended in the Trial Treatment
Free clause given below must
not be misunderstood. It is
simply the result of the Famous
Physicians desire that the pub
lie may obtain without cost an
adequate knowledge of the treat
ment which is the perfected result
of his life work, which, like his
earlier treatment given to the
world ten years ago, will soon
be in general adoption by the
profession which has worked
such cures in Deafness and Bron-
chial Disease alone as to startle
the old school practitioners,
which has already proven by the
wonderful record of results that
it will be the treatment of the
future. In extending this invi
tation Doctor Mccoy desires that
its terms be unequivocal.
Every person i'll Washington to
whom life has become burden by
reason of the filthiness and suf-
fering of common Catarrh of the
Head, Nose and Throat ma now

what may be done for them by a
better system of treatment than
