The Seattle Republican., 1903-10-30

There seems to be no end to the number of persons
in King county who have already signifed their will
ngness to fill the various county Offices for the ensu-
ing two years after the next general election even
though they do at great financial loss to themselves
1t is perhaps all of nine months before the Republicans
will hold their next county convention to nominate
men to be voted for in November and fully twelve
months before they voted for and yet there
didates galore already working like dick nailers for
every office in the gift of the voters and hundred
times as many working like Trojans for every
office in the gift Of the successful fellows in the
vention and subsequently at the polls thing that is
not worth working for is not worth having, and there
fore each and every of them is to be commended
for the efforts he is putting forth in his behalf
for after all, self is the most important parsonage
among either partisans politicians. The Pe-maker
has picked up few names of persons who
didates for Republican nominations in King county,
which he will enumerate below.

he tries to get away when you put him on the
ground my friend thinks that he is not dead and the
loss of his head is serious disadvantage to him. The
Irishmen heard both sides of the question and he too
seemed much troubled to the real state of affairs of
Mr. Terrapin. He thought and he thought, but soon
a happy solution to the whole situation flashed over
his mind and with grin that spread his entire
face plainly showing the map of Ireland and all of the
inhabitants thereof he deliberately begun After hear
ing both sides of this question I've to the
cuson that the terrapin is dead, yes dead Dicks

tries to get away when you put him down.

POLITICAL POT.PIE

81 understand, said prominent ward politician
day this week. that the house Of this county
is literally full of office holders, who and will be
candidates for nomination and election for other offices
next year, who if successful will in effect create
court house ring it will mean eight year feeding
at the public crib for the fellows Now, for one
not disturbed the matter for 1 believe they
will all be turned down and men given an oppor-
tunity to do service for their country by regularly
drawing their salaries every thrtieth day and looking
wise the other twenty-nine. OF course there is not
half much money made in holding public office as
in doing business on ones own hook, but some how
other it seems, when fellow gets hold Of public
eat its like grim death itself to tear him away from it

clared him dead because his head off, the other

head is cut off, when he continues to try to get away

Latest Kansas Events.
No More "County AsyIumx."

With the completion of the new in
sane asylum at Parsons, the state, IL
Is believed, will be relieved of at least
a portion of the expense it now incurs
through the necessity of having large
numbers of destitute insane cared for
by the counties. For years the asy-
lums at Topeka and Osawatomie have
been overcowded and it has been nee
essary to allow the counties to care for
the patients for whom accommoda-
tons could not be provided. These I'M
fortunates have been either placed in
private asylums by the counties o.
kept in poorhouses. The state has
been compelled to pay the counties 81
week for the support OF each insane
patient. This sum does not seem large
but that It rapidly mounts up is shown
by the fact that the Legislature lest
winter appropriated $42,676 to pay
counties for the care of insane patients
1t is believed the patients cannot only
be cared for more cheaply at the state
asylums but that they will also be
given better accommodations and treat
ment.

Rights of School Districts.

The legislature two years ago passed
law providing that rural school
district could vote to either hold school
in its district or to pay the tuition
of its pupils in another district. A dis
trict in Ford county voted to send its
children to an adjoining district. The
adjoining district objected. 1t would
not receive them. claiming that its
schoolhouse was only large enough to
accommodate it's own pupils. The ques-
ton as to whether it could be forced
to take the outside pupils was submit
ted TO the attorney general and he
ruled that 1t could not. Both districts
must be parties to the contract and II
one refuses to enter into such a con-
tract pupils from the other district
cannot be pushed onto it.

Mental Alteration.

The curious pranks which a mans
brains may play with him are illus
trated by little story in the Sterling
Bulletin. Frank Johnson, young
farmer, went out to drive up the cows
and do the evening milking. BY and
by his wife went out to call him to
supper and found that he had done up
all the chores with neatness and pre-
cision. But she found also that he
looked upon her as stranger-that he
cid not recognize her, the house, Or
anything about the premises. She
drew him into the house and got him
on a bed. All the time he spoke to
her distantly but politely, and seemed
bewildered at the fuss she was max
ing over him. She ran for doctor
and help. and in the course Of few
hours Johnson 'came to himself" as
the saying is. 1t was found that he had
been thrown from his horse in the
pasture, alighting On his head, though
no visible injuries had been received.

More Than Her Share.

Some people get more than their
share of the tragedies of life," notes
n Cherokee paper in giving an account
of the killing Of ]. M. Murphy by
Special Officer AL Lane at Baxter
Springs. The wife of Murphy was for
merly married to his brother, and this
brother was killed in q brawl O few
years ago. Thus she has seen two
husbands lowered into their graves
after death by violence. But this isn't
all of it. Her sister was the murdered
wife of Marion Asbell, who is now I'M
dergoing life sentence in the Kansas
penitentiary for that crime. And it is
said of the woman whose life has been
splattered with blood so often that she
is modest and respected by all.-Kan-

The day was when men of prominence
hesitated to give their testimonials to

This remains true today Of most pro-
prietary medicines. But Peruna has
become SO justly famous, its merits are

low stations, that no one hesitates to
see his name in print recommending
Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna strong endorsement.
Men representing all classes and sta
tions are equally represented.
