Loubet Elected President.

Paris, Feb. 20. - Emile Loubet was
elected seventh president Of the French
republic by the national assembly at
Versailles Saturday afternoon to sue
coed Felix Faure, and since. that mo-
ment the city has been, in spots, in an
uproar, the spots referring to time as
we'll as to place. The effects Of the
furious campaign made by the anti
Dreyfus press were seen in. the street
demonstrations against the new presi-
dent, which were continued Saturday
evening and last. Whether these dem
onstrations will result in any serious
movement or will evaporate in words
1t is not possible to say. The indica-
lions are, however, that the anti-Drey-
fusites will probably wait until the de-
cision Of the court of cessation Is pro-
nounced before going any further than
bad language.

"WOODMAN, SPARE THAT TREE"
A Citizens Plea for the Preservation of
OwOssOs Beautiful Shade Trees.

Through the courtesy of your columns
allow me to heartily commend the action
taken by the city fathers at the recent
council meeting, regarding the preserva-
ton of our shade trees throughout the
city. 1t was with extreme dissatisfaction
and a sorrowful heart that l have beheld
the slaughter of some of our forest friends
| If any trees are dead, of course they
should be removed, but because the row
of stately monarchs in the middle of w.
King street does not happen to be EXACT
LY in the center of the street-or now
and then sturdy oak has chosen its
abiding pla'e in the center of a sidewalk
is no reason why we should sacrifice any
of our city's beautiful shade, which has a
state wide reputation, as well as the envy
of not few sister cities. AS long as our
streets are their present width and the
sidewalk constructed around these trees,
they are no hindrance to either vehicle
or foot passengers, unless perchance to
SEINE late straggler with a jag on, who
may come in contact with tree. But
were we to clear the streets for such un-
fortunates, we would undertake the i'm
possible. If we remember the labor
which the rearing of these trees has cost,
mostly done by our pioneer friends, DR..
Barnes, A. L. & B. o. Williams, @. l..
Goodhue and many others, al of whom
we remember and bless while walking
meath the shade of the stately trees, our
decision will be that there are none to
spare.
May the council and citizens endorse
the sentiments of the poet G. P. Morris
in the poem "Woodman Spare that tree"

There is no more catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced 1t Local
disease, and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
ence has proven catarrh to be cOnstitu-
ti0nal disease, and therefore requires con.

manufactured by +. j Cheney q Co, To

Byron Farmers Club.

Notwithstanding it was an extremely
cold day Thursday, Feb. 9th, goodly
number of members of Byron Farrers'
Club met at the home of Lawrence and
Julia Euler, and brought the club to
life again, after lapse of four months
since the last meeting. According to
our constitution an election of officers
should have taken place in November,
but as there had been no meeting since
October, it was decided that election of
officers would be in order. f. ID.
Wiltse was elected president, A. f.
Root, vice president; B. s. Fosket, re-
cording secretary; and James Golf
corresponding secretary. John Nc
Caughna and wife and Malcolm Wiltse
and wife were elected members of the
club, making nineteen families repre-
sented in the club. +. ID. Wiltse re-
ported having corresponded with the
state librarian in regard to the travel
ling libraries, and that he had for
warded 81 20 to her to defray the ex>
pense of shipping, etc. He read letter
from Miss Spenser stating that the
money was placed to his credit and q
library would be shipped as soon as one
was returned as they were all out.
l.. G. Kanouse was elected librarian.
No program having been prepared
previously, there seemed to be nothing
before the club but to pass the after
noon in social conversation. | would
not forget to say that the wants of the
inner man were more than supplied at
the noon hour, the hostess having pre-
pared for fifty, which number would
probably have put in an appearance if
the weather had been less cold. The
committee on program announced
topics for the next meeting, and APP
pointed members to lead in the discus
sions of each, so the next meeting
promises to be more interesting
mentally if not socially. The members
dispersed feeling. that the day had been
well spent, and resolved to meet again
on Thursday, March 9th, at the home
of Malcolm Wiltse and wife. B. S. f.

Cheap Money Is Said to Have
Much to Do With 1t.

Mr.. Robertson, Of the Hartford Invest

Mr.. J. r. Mead had purchased the Ead'

A real estate man said last night: You
hear all kinds of causes assigned for Wich-
ita's prosperity but what has not been
mentioned, and what I believe is really the
primary cause is cheap money. 1t is a
fact, a thing that people can hardly realize,
that money can be had. including all COM
missions and expenses whatsoever. at a
small per cent under per cent. That is
all money actually costs the borrower. 1t
5 not per cent money with an agents
commission added, making the whole thing
10 per cent. It is actually cheap money"
Back Of this the superiority ofWichita's
location is again viJalized, is in fact more
alive today than It has ever been before.
Few people realize that Wichita has 100000
more peop.e in its territory than it had in
