ANTHONYS ARE THERE
Roosevelt Takes Hand in Leay-
enworth POstOffice Fight.

There may have been more than a
passing significance in the fact that
Colonel d. r. Anthony, of Leayenworth,
was chairman of the CON nittee on reso-
Iutions in the recent Republican state
convention, and that the resolutions
were extremely strong in their endorse
ment of President Roosevelt.
That the president was more than
pleased with the endorsement given him
by the Wichita convention has been
demonstrated several times in the past
three weeks. Mr.. Roosevelt himself has
repeatedly said as much. The resoIu-
tons could not have been stronger, and
they not only endorsed the president for
past actions, but pledged Kansas TO
him for 1904. Colonel Anthony had, of
course, much to do with this strong en-
dorsement-
Now comes the sequel When the
news came from Washington a few
days ago that ngressman Curtis had
taken action turning down D. R. An
thony, jr., for reappointment as post
master at LeavenWorth, as Mr.. Curtis
threatened at Wichita If Anthony did
not violate the instructions of his coun-
ty convention and throw part of the
delegation against Bailey in the organiz-
alton. Colonel Anthony and his son left
in mediately for Washington
Now q dispatch comes from Leaven-
worth stating that the Anthonys were
called to Washington by a message
from the White House making an APP
poinunent for them to meet the presl-
dent today and talk over the matter
OF the Leavenworth postoffice. The
LeavenWorth dispatch says
at has been known ever since the Re
publican state convention at Wichita
that Mr.. Curtis would refuse to recon-
mend the reappointment of Mr. An
thony It was also known to a few
politicians that Mr.. Curtis decided TO
file his recommendation of Mr.. Willard
with the postmaster general Tuesday,
June 8. the day after his return to
Washington from the state convention.
For some reason an ATTEMPT was made
to keep the fact secret. Last week tele-
grams were sent to Washington filing
charges against Mr.. Willard, but he was
notified and has cleared everything.
1.-The friends of Mr.. Willard have been
looking for his name to go to the SEN
ate daily. but there seems to be a hitch
somewhere. The usual custom is that
the recommended ton from the congress-
man in the district is final and secures
an appointment. It develops that there
are serious political complications COM
ing up over the Leayenworth postof-
fee.
'On Tuesday of this week Col. D. r.
Anthony received a. telegram from the
White House stating that nothing
would be done about appointing a post
master at LeavenWorth for the present.
and arranging for him to meet the pres
ident on Saturday. Col Anthony, &C
conpanied by his son. D. r. Anthony,
Jr, left for the east Wednesday night
and reached Washington last evening"

The Morris Racers Out.

New York. June 14.-Green B. Morris
has declared his horses Homestead and
Old England out of the American Derby
to be run at Washington Park. Chicago,
a week from today. This announcement
came as surprise to turfmen generally
as it had been expected that at least
one of the horses named would carry
the Morris colors in the western classic
Morris said he was afraid the track
would be muddy and that they would
take the trip for nothing as neither Of
them like the mud. Homestead and Old
England are IN the $4,000 Tidal stakes,
to be run at SheeDshead Bay the same

Life.

The poets exclamation: 20 Life! I feel
thee bounding in my veins" is a joyous
one Persons that can rarely or never
make it, in honesty to themselves, are
among the most unfortunate They do
not live, but exist; for to live implies
more than to be. To live is to be well
and strong-to arise feeling equal to the
ordinary duties of the day. and to re-
tire not overcome by them-to feel life
bounding in the veins. A medicine that
has made thousands of people, men and
women, well and strong, has accom-
plished a great work, bestowing the
richest blessings, and that medicine is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. The weak run
down, or debilitated. from any cause,
should not fail TO take it. It builds up
the whole system, changes existence into
life, and makes life more Astounding
We are glad to say these words in its
favor to the readers of our columns.

on % cents worth of white bread or
cooked at home cereals. You see, four
teaspoonfuis of GTape-Nuts furnish
more strength to work on than large

come over me-

Adirondack Water Powers

What the existence of good water
powers can do for state is we'll Illus
trated in single region, that border
ing the Adironack Mountains in New
York. where such manufacturing CEN
ters as Watertown and Black River on
Bla" River, Mechanicsville and Glen
Falls on the Hudson, Cohoes and Lit
tie Falls on the Mohawk, and Oswego
and Fulton on the Oswego, owe their
rise and prosperity largely to the water
powers on which they are situated.
The value of full understanding of
the streams which produce these pow
ers, as affecting an extension of their
use, is also being shown by the inves-
LEGATIONS which the United States
Geological Survey is conducting upon
them. At each of these places the Geo.
logical Survey has daily record kept
of the fiuctuation of flow of the rivers.
In such manufacturing towns develop
ed water power is often valued as
high as one hundred dollars per horse
power, and since the number of horse
power that can be had from stream is
in direct proportion to the volume of
flow knowledge of this quantity is of
the greatest Importance, both to those
who own and to those who contem-
plate buying or building water power
mills. The photographic work of the
survey in this region is in charge of
Mr.. Robert E. Horton, of Utica.

Death of Judge ]. W. Myers.

| Judge J. W. Myers quietly departed
this life at the Parish farm in Crab
bottom on Saturday morning the 18th
day of April. Aged IS years, he hav'

the 18th day of March, 1924. His death
can only be attributed to old age proba

complaint.
His remains were inferred in the
Monterey Cemetery on Sunday even
ing following his death after funeral
service conducted at the Methodist
church by Rev. Mr.. Compton in the
presence of large concourse of

|tice of law in the month of May, 1854,

assisted in forming company and
was made 1st Lieutenant and later
succeeded to the captaincy and was in
active service In the Confederate cause

with Chas. E. Hawes of Harrisonburg
which continued until the death of Mr..
Hawes.
In the year 1875, he was appointed
to the County Judgeship in which Of
flee he served until 1882, when he was
succeeded by Judge Warwick of Bath
county, but was again re. appointed to
the Judgeship in 1888. and was again

won the peace of pardon.

A Mixed Recipe.

A fashionable young lady visited a
cooking school the other afternoon,
where her attention was equally divid
ed between a new dress worn by an
acquaintance and the directions Tor
making acake. Upon returning home
she understook to write down the re-
cipe for making the cake for her moth
or, and the old lady was paralyZed
when she read the following:
'Take two pounds of flour, three
rows of plating down the front, the
whites of two eggs cut bias, pint~of
milk ruffied round the neck, half
pound currants, with seven yards of
bead trimming, grated lemon peel
with Spanish lace fichu; stir well, and
add a semi fitting paletOt with visite

topaz necklace, and garnish with ic-
ing and passementerie. Bake in a
moderately hot oven until the skirt is
tucked from the waist down on either
side, and finish with large satin 70

March 2. 1865 And when we learned

him, and give him as warm reception

of Waynesboro, Harner's horse fell and
pined him to the ground. The yankees

None seemed to think it safe to lend a
helping hand to Harner save Dave
Bell, who with great bravery and cour-

to save his comrade until the head of
the column was within 25 yards of him,
all the while calling to the boys to
come to bis aid and help save Harner
from capture, finally seeing that be too

a scratch.
Mr.. Hansberger walked up to the
road just as the head of the yankee
column came up to Harner, when the
officer halted his men and

he was from. and when told, remarked
