Wherever the catarrh Is, there II sure
to be a waste Of mucus. The mucus Il
as precious as blood. Itis blood, in fact.
1t is blood plasma-blood with the cor
puscles removed. To stop this waste,
you must stop this catarrh. A course Of

do this.

The Census and Persons Away From

The Census and Persons Away From
Home During June.
The count ofthe people in the United
States viii begin In all parta OF the
country June and end In the cities
two weeks later and In the rest of the
country before the close Of the month.
The people are to be counted at their
places Of residence, but ne many per-
sons and families WIN be away from
their homes during June there is some
danger that such persons win not be
counted. II they are not counted the
locality In which they live will be mis-
represented to that extent, and In
some cases this misrepresentation
may be enough TO effect the repre-
sentation In congress Of the state from
which they come. Local pride and
state pride, therefore, should infiu-
ence all such absenteea to take rea-
sonable precautions against being
omitted from enumeration in their
places OF residence. Such omissions
are most likely to occur in the large
cities, where families close their homes
and 20 eIsewhare for the summer.
The occurrence OF the Paris exposi-
zion this year is likely to increase the
number absent from the country.
In all cases Of contemplated abb
sence the head OF the family is re-
requested by the Census Officer to
notify o. A. Davault, OF Farber, Mo. /,
supervisor Of this district. He is also
requested to leave information re-
garding his answers to the questions
which are to be asked with some re-
sponsibIe neighbor who viii agree to
see that ii reaches the enumerator on
his rounds. Such information might
better be left as q memorandum In
writing, as in that case it is less likely
to be overlooked. The questions to
which answers are desired apply
primarily to the population, but also to
all farm and manufacturing estabIIah-
ments. They are being published
from time to time In the press of the
country.
By taking this trouble the absent
citizen will do justice to his locality
and his state, and materially aid the
census office In the performance of itH
dukles.

COLLIER FOR GOVERNOR.
Taylor Having Fled, Kentucky Rspub-
licans Will Probably Nominate
HislAdiutant General.

FRANKFORT, KY, May 2s.--W. s.
Taylor is ont of politics, say prominent
Republicans. At the Republican
State convention last week Ex- Cover
nor W. 8. Taylor, amid bis tears,
pledged himself to devote the rest Of
his life to working for the repeal Of
the Goebel election law. MIR, Taylor,
to prevent his arrest on a charge Of
completely in the assassination OF Gov.
Goebel, has now fed to Indianapolis.
The politicians say that his flight
from the State has made his nomina-
tion for governor by the Republicans
impossible. The Indications now are
that D. Collier, the adiutant general
Of the Bradley and Taylor administra-
tion,will be the Republican candidate.

SKULLS USED BY BOYsFOR BALLS
And the Long Bones For Bats Strange
Dissertation ofan Old Tomb.


Boston, MASS, May PA grew
some cemetery desecration has just
come to light in the suburb Of Mel
rose. Fifty or sixty years ago the
old Upham family, among the earliest
residents In Melrose, had private
burying ground near the end of Fos-
ter street. A large vault was built
there, which until few years ago
was fastened with an iron door, but
since then has been closed up with
large rocks securely mortered In.
For the past few days people In the
neighborhood have noticed that the
small boys OF the district seemed to
be congregating there in great num-
bers, and upon investigation it was
discovered that the vault had been
broken open and the collins torn
apart, leaving the skeletons scattered
about upon the floor. About twelve
bodies were entombed there, and the
cofins originally were placed on end,
but the vandals have thrown them
down and broken everything it was
possible to break. The boys are
using the tomb for playhouse, and
they have been seen there pounding
the skulls to pieces and using the
bones as II they were common sticks
Of wood. The boys play ball with the
skulls.
A large opening has been made in
the top Of the mound by which one
can easily enter, and the sight pre-
sented upon looking in 10 ghastiy
one. No casket remains Intact, and 1t
would be impossible to find perfect
skeleton, as many OF the bones have
been carried away. The tomb is
situated on q hill within so feet of the
electric car tracks, and the opening
can plainly be seen from the cars.

AT THE PHONE.

Maud Muller, on a summers day,
Called, 'Number, please?n to earn her
pay.
Before her, numbers, printed small,
Fell down when anyone would call,
The Judge took down his Office phone,
And made to Maud his wishes known.
Said he, "I'll ask you just once more
For four eleven-forty-four."
Said Maud, as mild as summer seas,
"What number did you ask for,
please9"
Said be, 81 told you twice before,
It's four eleven-forty-four."
Said Maud, and yon could hear her
smile,
"Just hold the phone 9 little while. T"
A weary interval ensued,
The wires hummed an interlude.
And broken bits OF talk came o'er
The phone and made the waiter sore.
The wishbone-shaped receiver hook
he seized upon and wildly shook,
TIL Maudle's voice he heard once
more,
"What number are you waiting for9''
The Judge responded with roar,
."It's four eleven-forty-four,"
serenely Maud made answer then,
"That line is busy; call again."
The judge had businesses late that day,
And go be merely walked away.
But as he walked he shook his head,
And this is what he sadly said:
"Of all the words of tongue or pen,
The est are '"Busy; call again. )"
