form OF slavery. George ID. Williams,

that she could not turn over in bed
alone. After using two bottles Of
Electric Bitters she is wonderfully i'm
proved and able to do her own work"
This supreme remedy for female dis
eases quickly cures nervousness, sleep
Iessness, melancholy, headache, back
ache, fainting and dizzy spells. This

CURTIS TO STAY.
Telegraphs That He VIII Re-

May Mean That He Considers
the Victory Won.
BAILEY ON GROUND.
Personally Looking After Brown
County Primaries.
Question viii Be Settled This
Week.
BAILEY ON GROUND.

Charles Curtis believes he will be re-
nominated and reelected to congress
from the First district without further
trouble. and will not come home to par
ticipate in the contests which will end
this week.
While Mr.. Bailey is at Hiawatha,
Atchlson, Nemaha county and Leaven-
worth county voting precincts making
a final rally for the primaries this week
Mr.. Curtis is in Washington going
ahead with the work which he has to
do there.
Some of Curtis friends have been
very anxious to have him on the ground
for the finish of the contest but fer
reasons best known to himself he has
telegraphed that he will not come home.
Mr. Curtis was wired last week that
his presence is necessary but a mes
sage from him yesterday announces
that he will remain in Washington
The Topeka managers of the Curtis
campaign expected him home yester
day, but instead came the message.
Mr. Bailey arrived in the district Sat
urday, going at once to Hiawatha,
where he opened HEADQUARTERS Satur-
conferences with his friends who were
rallying for the final struggle in Brown
county.
The primaries are to be held Wednes-
will have 12S votes in the county
convention to name the delegates
TO the congressional convention.
OF the 12S delegates Mr. Curtis
mana gers claim 80. This condi
tion of affairs has set the Bailey peo-
pie working with redoubled energy in
that county and a summoning of all of
the Bailey workers to Hiawatha for
final instructions shows what an effort
is being made to save the county to
Bailey.
The contest for this nomination will
be settled this week. Brown and Atch-
ison county are conceded to be the bat
tlegrounds and the Curtis people hope
to carry both counties. With the dele
cations from these counties to their
credit victory is assured. If Mr.. Bailey
succeeds this week in capturing those
counties by personal work then the
scale may turn the other way.
Bailey will close the campaign with
a public meeting in Atchison Wednes-
day night. The polls at the primaries
close at 10 o'clock that evening and
Bailey will speak at various places dur
ing the evening while his managers
rush the primaries with enthusiasm.
There is a general exodus OF Curtis
workers from Topeka today. They go
to help Mr., Curtis in Atchison, Brown
and Leavenworth counties.

tented himself with playing characters
after his father. At the time of his
fathers death he had no intention of
going on with "Puddn'head Wilson,"
and leased the play. It proved a fail
ure in the hands of the man who sue
ceeded the elder Mayo, and for this rea-
son the son decided to attempt the part.
Edwin Mayo died like his father who
was found dead on train.
Almost instant success crowned the
younger Mayos determination. In ap-
pearance he closely resembled his faith
er. and he was able to wear his parents
clothes on the stage. The public receiv-
ed him with favor, and in two years
time he was enabled, from the profits
of the play, to clear up a heavy indebt-
edness to which he fell heir at his faith
er's death.
Mr.. Mayo has been accompanied on
his tours by his wife, Frances Grahame
Mayo, who is remembered here for her
excellent work as Roxy" He owned
probably the most unique country home
of any-actor in America 1t is a Swiss
cottage in the construction of which not
a nail or screw was used, and nestles
among Pennsylvania hills. This home
was established by the elder Mayo, and
here his son spent the summers after
his death
