ENGLAND doesn't like the idea OF Russia
taking Manchuria, slice of Chinese territory,
and the British lion is roaring and tearing up
the earth. He is afraid to tackle the Russian
bear, however, and is calling on Uncle Sam to
help him lick Russia. A short time ago, Eng
land professed great love for the United States,
and "helped us lick Spain" OF course, we
needed no help, but England saw that she was
soon to need powerful friend so she jumped
in and "helped' us, when we needed no help,
50 as to place us under obligations to her, and
thus gain our assistance when she sorely needs
it. The proper thing for us to do is to attend
TO our own business, and let Engand attend to
hers

be able to dispense with one hundred thousand

this hundred thousand, and others, will begin
to see that it would be better for Uncle Sam to
own and run the roads

You Can Cure 1t.
A New Curc for Catarrh IN Tablet
Form.

The old-time treatment for catarrh
was in the form Of douches or sprays;
later on. internal remedies were given
with greater success, but being in liquid
CT powdered form were inconvenient
and were open to the same objection to
all liquid remedies, that is, that they
lose whatever medicinal power they
may have had on exposure to the air.
The tablet is the ideal form in which
to administer medication, but until re-
Gently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted.
At this writing, however. most ex-
.cellent and palatable remedy for ca
tarrh has been placed before the public
and sold by druggists, called Stuart s
ICatarrh Tablets, composed of the most
recent discoveries in medicines for the
cure of catarrh, and results from their
use have been highly gratifying.
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets contain prin-
cipally highly concentrated antiseptics,
which kill the catarrh germs in the
blood and mucous membranes, and in
this respect are strictly scientific and
modern, as it has been known for some
years past by the ablest physicians that
the most successful catarrh treatment
was by inhaling or spraying antiseptics
The use of inhalers. douches and
sprays, however, is nuisance and in
convenience, and moreover can in no
wise compare with the same remedies
given in tablet form, either in efficacy
or convenience,

arrest and in the city Jail charged with
embezzlement Of city funds.
Wright was taken completely by sur
prise and when confronted with the all
legged crime by Chief Gray and Street
Commissioner McInerney, for whom he
had been keeping time, he is said to
have confessed his guilt. He was ar
raigned before Judge Moon in police
court and his preliminary hearing set
for o'clock tomorrow morning.
Wrights bail was fixed at $500 and in
default of which he was remanded to
the county jail. The city officials say
Wrlght's alleged populations cover a
period of little more than two months.
The amount as far as known with which
Wright is charged with having taken is
s14l7O. Wright had attracted Mayor
SPickler's suspicion by the amount of
money he was spending an $40 salary.
The manner in which Wright is said
to have secured the money is very In
genious. He kept the payroll of the
street commissioner, and when a man
would work out poll tax instead of Civ
ing him credit for that. Wright is all
legged to have drawn voucher for that
much money as time put in for the city
The books show that the first wrong
entry was made April Is, when charge
for $3.50 was made. This is alleged to
have been kept up until the money
which he is alleged with having drawn
amounts to sl4l.7o 1t was drawn in
small amounts. ranging from $3.50 to
s2l.6O. Wright is charged with having
used the names of four different men in
his work. all of whom worked poll taxes
and very seldom worked for the city.
Their names are Barney Fa1lon. An

The past week was warmer than usu-

ample supply of rainfall. except in por-
tions of the east and northeast districts.
In some localities in the north central

corn and damaging clover hay. In gen
eral it was very favorable for the
growth of vegetation, and especially
beneficial to pastures, timothy and

well cultivated except in sections where
field work was hindered by heavy show
