A Little History.

A review of the manner in which Mr..
Brooks entered the race for mayor may
prove of some interest. He was brought
out by Mr.. Dave Mulvane.
A few weeks only have gone by since
there was an election in Topeka to de-
eide whether the people wanted the
city to acquire a waterworks system
for the city. There was little OppOsi-
ton to the proposition and main part
of that opposition was Dave MulVane
who with his lieutenant, John Dudley,
drove from one polling place to another
to marshal the waterworkS forces. The
result is well known. The people dec1d-
ed by a large majority that the city
should become the owner OF its water
supply.
Only a few days after the election
Mr.. Mulvane crawled from under the
debris and started out to find a candi-
date for mayor. It was hard work.
There are few people in Topeka who
would consent to become his candidate,
knowing what such movement meant.
One after another people declined the
honor" Then a meeting was called,
attended by a dozen or more The mayor
question was discussed in its various
phases, and finally the name of Frank
Brooks was sprung. 1t was received
with favor and it was decided then and
there that he should be the" candidate
for mayor. Dave Mulvane was so en-
thusiastic that he at once started for
Mr.. Brooks residence to confer with
him. Mrs. Brooks met the young
statesman at the door and informed
him that Mr.. Brooks was in Usage
county So filed was he with the i'm
portance of his mission that he unfolded
the plan to Mrs. Brooks.
A second time Mr.. Mulvane went to
the Brooks residence to find his candi-
date and this time his quest was sue
cessful. What transpired at the confer
ence that followed is q matter for spec

scourge Of the rld-offensive, painful,
debilitating, stubborn and well nigh
unenGurable.
Outward applications do not cure, they
only drive the difficulty to new quarters.
Emollients may peIliste, they cannot
abolish the evil. There IL but ono sure
way out, and that is to eliminate the

There Is one remedy that can effect this,
and it is the only one that, 10 far q we
know, has almost invariably succeeded
even where the system has been poisoned
by long years Of taint, and the rsvages to
be repaired are tremendous. That remedy
is Hoods sarsaparills. Read this:
