SHARPLESS LOSES.
Supreme Court Decides Against
Republican Candidate.

The supreme court today decided
against L. B. Sharpless III his contest for
member of the legislature. Sharpless is 4
Republican, and the action of the supreme
court will give the certificate of election
to Peter McLaug HIN, the Democratic
nominee.
Sharpless brought an action in the SUI
preme court asking for writ of man
damus to compel the county commission
ers of Atchison county to recanvass the
vote and throw out the vote of the rail-
road men who voted away from home.
The supreme court declines to issue the
writ
case from the bench when the supreme
court convened for its December sitting
this morning. In giving the decision he
gave the following oral opinion:
This is a proceeding in mandamus to
compel the board of canvassers for Atchi-
son county to reconVene and recanvass
the vote, and to exclude certain votes
cast by railroad men away from home
under the recent act of the legislature, on
the ground that such act is unconstitu-
tional. The court is of the opinion that
the board of canvassers is merely a min
isterial body. required to meet and can
vass the returns made to it by the boards
of the different precincts in the county,
and to make a footing of such returns
and declare the result. And ii is not
within the province of the board of can
vassers to determine the constitutionality
or unconstitutionality of any law requir
ing them to perform certain duty
Therefore, having performed this duty,
under Il proceeding OF mandamus this
court cannot compel the board to perform
it's duty in a manner different from that
prescribed by law. The application for
the writ is denied and Judgment entered
for the defendants"

breaches TO DRINKER.
Wrong to Sell and Also Wrong
to Drink.

REV Francis l. Hayes, pastor of the
FIRST Congregational church, presented
Another SIDE of the Temperance Cues
ton III Topeka" to his hearers at the
f1rst congregational church. Sunday
evening, dealing with that phase of it
relating to the effects upon the drinker
OF splrituous liquors. He took the posi-
ton that if it were wrong for a man to
sell liquor, 1t must be wrong also for
the man to buy.
If it be naischievous, said Rev Mr.
Hayes, for one TO SELL is it not also
mlschieVous to buy? Some people act
as though the Bible hadn't said Thou
shalt not go into a saloon But it was
not until the sixth century that the art
of distillation was discovered and not
until the sixteenth or seventeenth CEN
fury that ardent spirits were used as
beverage. Yet the Bible says, Woe
unto him that looketh upon the wine
when Il IS red And if in Bible times it
could be said that wine is a mocker and
strong drink is raging, how much more
true it is now. The fact is that the
problem of the use of intoxicating
liquors as a beverage is a new one. /
suppose the first temperance society as
we know it was organized at Richfeld,
Conn.,, in 1889. And that society fined
its members only % cents if they got
drunk. Within the last 20 years we
have seen marvellous strides in this di-
rection.''
Rev. Mr.. Hayes noted the steps which
NtNA AiAei Al9, rance anu QUIET European
countries had taken for the regulation
or suppression of the drink evil, and
stated that right now there was a bill
before the French senate providing for
the reduction of the number of saloons
from one to every IS of the popuIat ton
to one for every 300 people.
Even in Great Britain he continued.
where everybody is supposed to take
drinks as beverage. temperance work
ers have secured lately 900 signatures.
In Scotland within the last year 5000
people have signed the pledge Years
ago 1t was thought that the wine AMI
beer countries were the countries of the
least drunkenness, hut science is a broom
that sweeps clean, and it shows that the
demand for liquors in those countries
ras increased.
But it isn't simply science that has
aroused attention to this question: but
the business world as well. Ninety seven
per cent of the transport alton companies
of the country have Disseminated against
drinkers. and more than Is per cent of
employers of skilled Iabortrs. The doors
of business are being closed to the men
who use even beer. The greatest foe OF
the saloon in this age is business success
The men who are handling heavy affairs
are those who keep the nerves steady and
the brain clear. The indulgence in intoxi-
cants adds fuel to the flame Of passion
there is a clamor of a little for more

other men in this matter; and I visa ii

A MILD CASE

OF Contagious Blood Poison never exis-
ted. It is always bad, though sometimes
no external symptoms of the disease ap-
pear for long time.
Because the disease is slow in devel-
oping does not indicate that the case is
a mild one, for the poisonous virus at
work in the blood and system may be
spending its force upon some internal
vital organ while you are looking for ex-
terna1 signs. Contagious Blood Poison
does not affect all alike. In most cases
the first little sore is quickly followed by
painful swellings in the groins, a red
eruption upon the body, sores or ulcers
in the mouth and throat, unsight1y copper
co1ored blotches, loss of hair and eve
brows and other symptoms of this r1iser-
able disease. When the poison is thus
fighting its way to the surface, exposing
the disease in all its hideousness. we call
it a bad case; but Contagious Blood Poi
son, whether working internally or exter-
nally, is dangerous, treacherous disease.
S. S. S. IS the only remedy that cures
Contagious Blood Poison thoroughly and
permanently. It is an autidote for the
deadly virus that produces the awful
eruptions, sores and ulcers, and DESTROYS
the bones. Mercury and Potash dry up
the skin eruptions, but III so doing drive
the poison further into the system, where
it slumbers for a time, but comes back
again with redoub1ed fury.
