canvass of the votes for conrressman n
~ the Third Congressional District
other business. however, will come up
1or attention. The last meeting pre-
Vious was held, about the middle of
May, since then, many nominations OF
Importance having been made. These
VIII come up for confirmation. In ad-
dition to those which already have
peen made, are the following: Arthur
"A. Crafts of Greenfield, trial Justice.
william j. Fowler of Calais, disclosure
commissioner; and Austin w. Suais of
Hampden, justice of the peace. The
draWlng OF the salary warrants for
quarterly payments will also be at
tended to.
The matter of formally announcing
the successful candidate of the recent
congressional election, Hon. f. C. Bur
leigh. will take the usual form of a
certificate from the Governor. to serve
as credentials, which the elected may
present at the House of Representa-
tives in Washington.
This certificate is referred to the COM
mittee AN elections which in due time
reports and the elected one becomes
member of the House.
1t is expected that the pardon case of
Mrs. Lucinda Foss will come up for
attention. 1t will be remembered that
this was recently heard and tabled
Through her counsel, General John p.
Cilley of Rockland, the claim is made
that Mrs. Foss is in such state of
health THAT if she is retained in prison
much longer she is liable to die. 1t is
further claimed that she is not entirely
rational, and that the offense of per
jury, for which she is serving sentence,
was the result of undue influence.
The coming meeting of the Governor
and Council, is likely to be the last fer
some time There may be one in July
but the chances are that there will he
none in August. The Governor doesn't
like to call any more than are nece5-
Sary. OF course, there is the expense
attendant upon it, of various descrip-
about Is n year, counting the eQntia-
uous session during the Legislature as
one.

TWO EVENTS
EAGLES EDITION OF EXCLUSIVE
NEWS
Death of Mrs Mckinley Not in Outside
DaiIies Coming to Wichita.

DaitfeS Coming To WICHITA.
As the people Of this nation retired
Saturday night, there were two events
that would transpire before morning.
One in which the great nations people
in a sympathetic desire to learn now the
mother OF our president rested during
the night. The Eagles Sunday morning
edition chronicled the hour Of her death,
which occurred at 2 O'Clock. It remained
for the Kansas City papers to furnish
their readers with their half-baked Okla
homa and fast mail edition readers in
Kansas the news Of the event on Mon
day, thirty hours later than the Eagle.
The other event was the great bicycle
contest in Madison Square Garden. The
Eagle gave its readers a full account of
it in its Sunday morning edition. This
event was one in which there was more
people interested than anything that has
occurred since the presidents election.
The half-baked editions Of the KanSa
City papers furnished their readers with
the same news twenty-four hours later.
Another practical demonstration that the
telegraph is faster than a slow fast mail
train.
You can fool all of the people some OF
the time; you can fool some OF the people
all of the time, but you can't fool all of
the people all of the time.

GOT THE BEST HORSE SOLD
How Cash Henderson Buys Horses ant
Calico.

Calico.
The Spirit of the West, a magazine
published at Des Moines, Ia, tips the
following handsome compliment to Cash
Henderson:
Cash Henderson, the leading mer-
chant. of Wichita, Kan, came all the
way up from his home to Hedrick pur-
posely TO buy colt or two by Ellerslie
Wilkes. He has ten or twelve by him
now, every one of which can beat 2:30.
but says they are 80 good he can not
buy too many of them. He bought the
handsomest colt on sale and as good
gated one. He paid $500 for him and
said he would have gone several hum
ored higher had 1t been necessary TO buy
him You see," ne said, II have a full
brother to him that stepped an eighth
not more than sixty days ago in Is Sec
onds, and did it 50 nicely that
thought / could not own too many Of
that kind; so that's why / attended the
sale" He further said: 81 have seven
colts by Ellerslie Wilkes that can beat
2:25, and believe from what l have seen
in my purchase that he, too, with but
little work can do that trick" The
writer saw the new purchase, and like
Mr.. Henderson. thinks him the best colt
he ever saw individually and in gait, and
strong indications OF great speed. The
colt will make a great reputation in the
hands Of Mr.. Henderson, whose keen eye
finds good horse for him, just as quick
ly as it does handsome piece OF silk or
a fine bolt of Calico"

Every Direction.
Forty-four thousand letters were drop
ped inio the Wichita postoffice yesterday
and sent 10 various places in Kansas, as
we'll as to every state in the Union and
to foreign countries. Carl Hibarger and
Henry Meeker, the popular night clerks,
were doing extra duty last night, one Of
the assistant clerks being sick. They
were neck deep in letters, and there was
a constant march of footsteps of people
filing into the office to catch the late
trains with their letters, TO say nothing
Of the thousands who were mailing let
ters in the street stations throughout
town. Everything was full cf letters.
The Newton and Galveston mail north
over the Santa Fe was crowded, the
Kingman pouches west were full, all the
regular and two extra pouches were
packed to Geneseo, and this did not in
clude the packages Of Christmas pur-
chases that are now being sent out from
the office as e result of outside mail or
ders from the big stores here. The large
extra mail was letters, and for the most
part business letters. The New York mail
is tied out in the forenoon for the Rock
Island; at 2:10 over the Missouri Pa
cific; al $40, the Frisco for the fast mail;
and a. $40, the Missouri Pacific to Gene
SEQ. After all these punches tied out
through the day there were more than
one hundred letters for the city of New
York alone over the $40 Frisco last
night. These figures do not include any
OF the second class matter that is sent
out. nor any of the first or second class
that comes in here for distribution,
which mails are larger now than for
some years. 1t is the driftwood OF the
wave that was prophesied and that came.
Postmaster Tom Fitch, his assistant,
George Locke, and all the clerks are kept
too busy to make comparisons. but it is
estimated that at no time within the last
FIVE years has the first class mail been
so heavy in the Wichita postottice as
now.

BILIOUS PILLIOUSNESS.
WHY SOME BILIOUS PEOPLE TAKE
PILLS AND OTHERS DON'T.

BiliOusness is much misunderstood.
SO many people have it, that tits
worth understanding, the more so as
it is easy enough, If you begin right.
Liver secretes a fluid called bile.
Bile goes to the intestines, where il
performs important work in digestion.
Sometimes bile passages in liver get
clogged. This is blliousness.
"Pllliousness" is the idea that nv
taking pill which stimulates the
liver, we may cure blousness. 1t is
only an idea.
PIll-taklng relieves but does not
cure it. The cure can only come
through the stomach.
Who?
Biliousness is caused by the poison
of undigested food, irritating the liver.
To cure biliousness, these poisons must
be got out of the stomach. The onIy
sure way to do this is with Shaker
Digestive Cordial.
Shaker Digestive Cordial is a pleas
ant, tonic aid to digestion, prepared
from roots, herbs and wine by the
Shakers of Mount Lebanon, 1t helms
the stomach to digest its food, and
sweeps out of the system all danger
Gus pOisons.
In this way it cures billousness.
