CARRIES RENO
LONG

Stanley was given a right royal rally
at the Reno county primaries yesterday.
The fourth ward instructed for Mr..
Stanley for governor, and the sentiment
was for him in all the others. a special
from Huptchinson TO the Eagle says:
The Republican primaries were held
today. The only contest being for con-
gress, Long carried I'VE out of the six
wards in Hutchinson and every county
township heard from. Enough have re-
ported to insure that the county conven-
ton will be practically unanimous for
Long. There was no issue on governor
and the delegations so far as heard from
are for Stanley, who will undoubtedly
secure a solid delegation from Reno
county"
Barber county held its county conven-
ton and elected George Nay, Hugh Ran
kin, G.. ". Bucklin and W. T. Rouse del
egates, and J. H. Nichols, James Huffa-
ker, E. c. Grigsby and F. T. Reid alter
mates to the congressional convention.
Delegations were instructed 10 use all
honorable means to secure the nomination
of Chester I. Long as Republican candi-
date for congress in the Seventh district.

And hXed among the lmpor-
tant principles of hygiene and health is
the acknowledged necessity of a good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences of millions of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is "far and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing TO the close confne-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
flee. store, shop, house, schOolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifes, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relshed and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse is
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now as a
preventive and it will pay you a thou
sand fold in health and strength through
the coming summer.

A WILD CUBAN RUMoR.

fGeneral Lee. and Senor Palma not to
Accompany Blanco to the Field.
New York, Jan. THE rumor that
General Fitzhugh Lee, the United States
Consul General, would accompany Cap
tain General Blanco when the latter
takes the field is looked upon by the
members of the Cuban Junta as highly
improbable.
The further rumor that Senor Estrada
Palma would accompany the Captain
General and General Lee to the field and
that q conference with General Maxine
Gomez would follow, is considered alb
surd. Senior Palma is IN Philadelphia.
LOOKS IMPROBABLE AS TO LEE.
washington, D. c., Jan. No con-
fiEmation OF the preceding story Is OBJ
tainable in Washington. However, it
EXCITED considerable interest both in ad-
m&nistration and Spanish circles. At the
State Department it was said that Gen
era Lee had given no intimati0n of con-
tenplating such move, and that no ar
raAgement looking to such intervention
had been suggested from Washington.
Further than this, no official would dis
cuss the matter.
At the Spanish legation it was posi-
lively asserted that no advices on the
subject had been received from any
quarter.
Senator Davis. Chairman of the For
eign Relations Committee, said:
''The story looks improbable Further
than that l do not want to discuss it.
/ do not see how they are going to get
Estrada Palma into Cuba unless they
declare a special amnesty"
PALMA RIDICULES THE STORY.
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. TT. Estrada
Palma, was one Of the speakers at a +
largely attended Cuban-American meet /
ing tonight called to protest against the
scheme of autonomy.
When he saw the Havana dispatch .
that he was to accompany Blanco and
Consul General Lee on mission to
Gomez, he read it aloud, and for some
time it formed topic of ridicule and
merriment in the meeting. Palma him
self, asserted that it was too absurd for
consideration.
