GOOD FOR THE WOMAN.
Pounded Some Sense into Head of
Her Better Half

A boilermaker who has been on a pro-
tracted spree for several days was dealt
with in a strenuous manner last night
by his indignant wife She had pleaded
with him in vain to return to her home
and give up drinking and last night she
used more persuasive methods, for she
piled a well seasoned club with telling
effect on the "bilermaker's" head. In
deed bystanders said it sounded like
some one was welding rivets in the side
of a decapod. The man accompanied
his wife home after the beating and this
morning he is a wiser man and also has
sore head to remind him of his folly

sharp, shooting pains in any part of the

remedy I say to every sufferer of
rheumatism: Get a twenty-five cent
vial of your druggist, and if you are
not perfectly satisfied with the result,
bring your empty vial to me and will
refund your money.
I can say the same of my Kidney
Cure. While the Paw-Paw is a most
excellent remedy for the kidneys and
the blood, yet, if you have any kidney
ailment, I most urgently advise you to
take my Kidney Cure. I do not over
state the matter when say that It
has cured more Kidney ailments in
the last five years than all the other
medicines that have been compounded
This is a sweeping assertion, know
but the facts are very sweeping and
much stronger than this statement.

Nh. BENEDICT EXPLAINS
Why He Made No Minority Re-
port in Jackson County Case.

The true inwardness of the work Of
the credentials committee in the re-
cent Republican state convention is
told in a letter from S. S. Benedict
one of the members of the committee
TO D. r. Anthony, Jr., relative to the
Jackson county contest Mr.. Benedict
shows conclusiyely that there was 10
justice or reason for the report made
by the committee, and he explains
why he did not bring in a minority
report. And the action of the committee
of the Miami, Wyandotte and Atchison
contests was just as rank as in the
Jackson contest. Mr.. Benedict's let
ter is as follows:
Benedict State Bank, Benedict, Kan
sas. March IA, 1904.
ID. r. Anthony, Jr., Leavenworth,
Kansas.
My Dear Sir:-Your letter of the
18th inst. in reference to the consider
alton of the Jackson county contest by
the committee on credentials of the
late state convention, at hand. In re-
ply, will say that 1 believe with you
that it was not the intention of any
member of the committee to do any
injustice to either of the contestants
IN the First congressional district, but
I am firm in the belief that a, majcr-
ity of the committee did err in their
judgment in the Jackson county case.
las soon as the evidence in that case
had been submitted. the committee
went into executive session to consider
it. I moved that the Jackson county
delegation that had received rs votes
in county convention be declared the
regular elected delegates entitled to
seats in state convention. Col. Ros-
sington of Topeka seconded the mo-
ton. Judge Clark and the chairman
took issue with us, and after consider
able discussion, Clark moved to amend
my motion by declaring the fellows
who had received ~ votes were the
regular elected delegates, and his mo-
ton prevailed by a bare majority vote.

STAY AT ALAMoGoRDo.
Report That Shops Will Move to Ell
Paso Is Denied

The A1amogordo News says: The Ell
Paso & Northeastern shops will not be
removed from Alamogordo to Ell Paso
nor no where else The statements made
by Ell Paso daily newspapers to the eff
feet that the shops would be removed
to that city are without any semblance
of truth. The Ell Paso & Northeastern
system are not antagonistic to Ala
mogordo, neither is Alamogordo antag-
onistic to the Ell Paso &, Northeastern
The interest of one is the interest of
both. and Alamogordo and her railroad
are hand in hand with each others in
terests first, last and always. These are
facts and come direct from the highest
officials of the Ell Paso & Northeastern.
