The Fight on Gen. Wood.

St. Louis Republic: An element in
the senate, in which Senator Hanna
is the most conspicuous figure, will
challenge the nomination of Brig.
Gen. Leonard Wood to be major gen
eral. Senator Hanna will inquire in
to the career of Gen. Wood and the
senate will demand full explanation
of his claims to such honor. 1t is
possible that his nomination may be
voted down.
As the facts outwardly appear, Gen.
Wood is the presidents creature in
he army. He is not of the regular
arm of the service, but was a sur
geon at the beginning of the Spanish
war. 1t was Roosevelt who secured
him the colonelcy of the Rough Rid
ers, and it seems to have been RooSe-
welt who secured to him consequent
rapid advancement until now it is
proposed to lift him over the head of
many another deserving officer and
TO give him a rank that will establish
him as the chief of the army within
a few years and for many years. The
injustice involved in this course has
been dwelt upon fully by the press of
the country. but. now that the SEN
ate proposes to take action in the
matter. new interest attaches to it.
Woods chief claim to distinction
rests upon his services while in
charge of the civil administration of
Cuba. The prominence of these
services is now seriously questioned.
Maj. +. q. Rathbone. formerly direc-
tor of posts in Cuba, upon whose Off
cial acts reflection was cast through
Gen. Wood, is in Washington. He
makes serious countercharges against
the presidents favorite. These charg
eS involve nothing less than general
extravaganza and unnecessarily lavish
expenditures for his official house
hold.
The public or the senate is not call
ed upon to choose between Wood and
Rathbone. But the Iatter's state
ments should be investigated. and, if
they have foundation, Gen. Wood, de-
spite his relations with the White
House. should receive an unmistaka-
BILE rebuke from the senate. Not on
ly this. the senate should determine
whether or not Wood is the one man.
among the many who have rendered
signally important services in Cuba
and in the Philippines, who should be
chosen for and awarded hatamounts
at this time TO the chiefest dignity in
the army. If his unprecedented pro-
motion is unwarranted. as the public
undoubtedly believes. his nomination
should not be confirmed

caught her hand and kissed it, but
spoke no word. A few minutes later
the bolts on the door below shot for
ward. The girl dropped the key in n
crevice of the rock and hurried on up
to the cottage.
She had barely time to sit down by
a window and take up some sewing
when two men appeared and stopped
at the cottage.
Have you seen man pass here"
asked one of them, "a good looking
young fellow, with u crazy look in his
eye? He has escaped from lunatic
asylum, and we got on the track just
below here. There's a big reward Of
fered for him-a thousand dollars"
The girls decision must be made in
stantly. If the man was a lunatic
there was every reason for her to sur
render him both for the good of socie-
ty and his own welfare. Besides, q
thousand dollars was to her n sum far
beyond what she had ever dreamed of
possessing. On the other hand. might
not these men be misstating the truth
in order TO induce her to surrender one
whom they were endeavoring to take
for some infraction of the law, or,
might they not have some private rea,
son for prosecuting him?
No" she said without moments
hesitation.
Now, see here, little girl" said the
spokesman. 1.-The patient could not pos
sibly get beyond this point, and you're
hiding him. Here is my badge as a
keeper of the - insane asylum, and
you need have no doubt that if you sur
render him you will only be doing
duty. Besides, think of the reward"
HE hasn't been here" said the girl
without blush at the falsehood.
Il see that we shall have to take the
case into our own hands," said the
man. And he stalked through the cot

ONLY GUARANTEED CURE
For Catarrh-HyOmeI Costs You Nothing If
it Fails Says T. ii. Thomas.

Among the many medicines upon
the market that claim to cure catarrh
none but Hyomei has enough faith in
its own merit to be willing to refund
the money if it does not cure.
This remarkable remedy for catarrh
kills the microbes and the germs of
the disease, and from its Introduction
has beer sold under positive guar
antee to return the money to all dis
satisfied customers.
4. H. Thomas has sold great many
Hyomei outfits in the last few years,
and he stands ready to refund the
price to anyone who has not been
helped by Hyomei.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
81, and comprises an inhaler, bottle
of Hyomei and a dropper. The in
haler will last lifetime, and addi-
tional bottles of Hyomei can be OBJ
tanned for so cents.
Breathe Hyomei for a few minutes
four times a day, and your catarrh
will grow better from the first days
use, and will be completely cured in
short time.
Do not try to cure catarrh with or
binary stomach medicines. Breathe
the healing Hyomei, which goes to
every part of the air passages and
respiratory organs. killing the catarrh
germs and preventing their growth.
1t is the only treatment for catarrh
where you can get your money back
from local dealer in case it does not
help.

DAILY SHORT STORY
Hide Me.
COriginal.1

lOriginal.1 --t
The waves were coming in huge
hills, striking the rocks beneath the
lighthouse and breaking over it in
clouds of spray. From a cottage set
just beyond the reach of the highest
monster a young girl descended to the
entrance of the tower and was about
to enter when, looking aside, she saw
man coming or, rather, running
along the narrow roadway. When he
came up there was wild, hunted look
in his eyes, a look that excited all the
pity of her tender young heart.
Hide mep' he gasped.
She did not wait to hear his reasons,
but, placing key she held in her hand
in a door opening into the lighthouse,
unlocked it and motioned the man to
follow her. Mounting a circular stair
way, she led the way to the light room.
Here you will be safe" she said.

you appeared. No one is allowed in

While she spoke she was lighting the
lamps. casting glances at the stranger
and following his eyes out to where
he was watching for his pursuers. He

tage, looking in every corner, closet
and under every bed. There were but
half a dozen rooms in all. and no great
time was required to prove that the flu
gitive was not in the house. Then the
man turned to the lighthouse. Cross
ing the road, he went to the door and,
finding it locked, demanded the key.
MY father took it away with him."
said the girl.
There was a sound of wheels on the
road, and a man in buggy drove up
to the lighthouse. He was an aristo-
cratic looking man, though Of a dissi-
pated appearance, about fifty years of
age.
'WelI?' he asked. looking at the
men.
We've tracked him here. 1 think
this girl has hidden him in the light
house. She says her father has taken
the key away"
The man in the buggy looked fiercely
at the girl and, reaching back to his
hip, drew a revolver and pointed it at

was from this time easier. She made
up her mind that the fugitive was not
wanted for legal purpose. but for
some kind of persecution. She stood
looking into the mans eyes, apparent
~ unmoved. Lowering the pistol, he
offered TO pay her $1,000 if she would
surrender the man they wanted. This
had no more effect than his threat.
The man looked at her searchingIy for
a moment, then said to the other two:
shes not hiding him. No girl could
stand such tests He must have gone
on. Come" And, whipping his horse,
he disappeared, followed by the keep
ers on foot.

Yates in the North.

The Galena Gazette is the second
oldest paper in the state. always re-
publican. but conservative and mod
crate. The character of the paper
gives added significance to a recent
editorial therein declaring that the re-
nominate of Yates for governor
would be fatal to the republican
party in the state The editorial fol-
lows:
The word Yates spells defeat for
the republican party in Illinois. No
effort can save the ticket next No
vember if the present incumbent is
renominated for governor. Further
more, it is doubtful if any strong,
able republican will take a place on
the ticket with Yates at the head,
for to do so will invite political eX-
tinction. Yates from the date of his
election has allied himself with the
worst element in the party, acting at
its behests and giving scant consider
alton to the needs of the state at
large. He has filed the offices with
incapable political cormorants, with
the result that our state institutions
are in a deplorable condition. All of
the reports of the whitewashing COM
mittees, such as that sent to Kanka-
kee, cannot throw dust in the eyes of
the people. Yates has wilfully and
wantonly abused his trust and has
alienated the respectable wing of the
party. While claiming that the peO-
pie are with him and that he has
served their interests by vetoing GER
tain minor appropriation bills, he well
knows that his acts in these matters
were hypocritical and inspired for
the purpose of making capital for
himself in the present campaign for
denomination.
''Gov. Yates may as well save the
trouble of making a canvass of the
north half of the state. Il is simply
a waste of time. money and physical
effort. He will get no delegates from
the part of the state which gives large
republican majorities. but which will
not give its votes to Yates if he is on
the ticket again. There is no fear in
this respect, however. Yates will not
secure the nomination. and will serve
his own best interests by remaining
at Springfield and giving close atten-
ton to his duties until his term ex-
pires BY doing this he will in a meas
ure retrieve his administration from
the odium which now surrounds it. If
he persists in his canvass he will find
only too soon that the people upon
whom. he relies know him for what
he is and not for what he pretends to
be, and have no use for him as the
chief executive of great state.
Gov Yates has made a great mis-
take IN lighting the press of the state.
