If your hair is dry use vaseline in
stead of any other tonic. Apply it to the
scalp twice a week and massage every
night. Brush the hair a great deal. The
pest tning to whlten your skin is probably
the juice of one lemon in a half glass of
water. Wash the face with this, then rub
in cold cream, leaving the whole on over
night.

LoREE WAS ALuxuRY.
Something About the Resignation q the
Rock Islands President.

Something About the Resignation q the
Rock Islands President.
More details which have leaked Out
regarding the resignation last week Of
L. F. LOTee as chairman of the Rock
Island executive committee and presi-
dent Of the Rock Island railroad com
Pany show that his retirement came al
the conclusion of a series of sessions
that were stormy aud marked by accu-
sations of having disorganized instead
Of organizing the Rock Island proper
ties.
Mr.. LOree's resignation came as q
surprise to the railroad world. Nine
months ago be was induced to leave the
presidency Of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad by the payment of a cash bO-
nus of one-half million dollars and q
ive-year contract insuring him an an
nual salary of SIS, 900. This contract,
50 liberal in its terms as to be almost
beyond belief, provided that in the
event of his leaving the service of the
Rock Island his salary should continue
during the life of the contract, and that
in the event of his death his widow
should continue to receive it. Within
one year after the signing of this con-
tract his retirement practically was
forced.
The fight was largely between L. F.
LOree and B. L. Winchell, president OF
the Rock Island railway. The policy
advocated by Winchel1 won the day.
Hereafter he will be the sole executive
head of the system with power subOr-
dinate only to the owners.
Mr.. LOree lost control of the Rock
Island-Frisco group of railroads be
cause he attempted to introduce Balti-
more & Ohio methods, from which road
he came, in the operation of the Rock
Island lines. Because of his insistance
In pushing eastern methods on q west
ern railroad, Mr.. LOree clashed with
Mr.. Winchell, who had been brought
up with western railroads and was &C
quainted with conditions in the west.
Mr.. Winchell insisted that a sParsely

business for each mile of road, the pol
icy Mr.. LOree maintained while in con-
troll Of the Baltimore & Ohio. Mr.. Lo-
rec Topped of several branch lines be-
cause the business of the lines as strict
lY branch lines did not pay. Mr.. Win
cheu contended that these branch lines
increased the general profits of the sys-
TEN and should be operated. Now Mr..
Loree has been retired and Mr.. Winche1
is the head of the system. He was also
elected a member of the board of direc-
tors Of the Chicago & Alton.

The Topeka papers have been full Of
the pros and cons Of the COmanche
county bond deal, and the suit for dam
ages against the Journal. The offer Of
DayhoF, Coleman and Burrow, plain
tiffs in the case, to have the trial before
election, was met by the Journals offer
TO merge the three cases in one, with
separate verdicts, and go to trial. Judge
Hazen stated his willingness 10 Try the
case on this plan, and said this was the
only way it could be tried because Of
the shortness of time. This proposition
was declined by plaintiffs, showing eV-
identity that the suit was a campaign
bluff.
Last week the State Journal came out
with dOuble-headed article of several
columns, denouncing State Treasurer
Kelley as an embezzler, and the worst
of it was it proved it, the Topeka Cap
tai even admitting that technically it
was true. As everybody believed Kelly
had financed the bond deal with the
states money, paying out S123, 900 Ia
lawful order. In the Mondays Journal
it made the charge that the state treas
ury had been robbed of thousands of
dollars. This charge was supported by
the report of special examiners Rowett
and Moxey, who made a partial exam
nation, of u counties, in account with
the state of Kansas. The order for this
expert examination was by Governor
Bailey's order, and few short extracts
of their report are here given:
This examination has developed
shortages. irregularities and discrepan-
cies amounting to many thousands OF
dollars in the y counties examined,
nearly if not all of which can be recOv-
cred for the benefit of the state.
These shortages, etc, are due to
various reasons, but almost entirely 20
money collected for interest due and
not accounted for. Such payments
were made by city, county, townships
and school districts in the regular way.
''In my judgment the same conditions
existing in the u counties investigated
will be found in the remaining counties
Of the state, not only in the permanent
school fund, but IN the normal and ag
ricultural funds.
81 would therefore suggest that q
thorough and complete investigation be
made of all bond and coupon accounts. -

II. o. Caster, Dem0oratie EOminee To-
ConErsssman. Discusses Issues

ii. D. Caster, Dem0cratic Eomilee for
COnEzssszaan. Discusses Issues.
Hon. H. o. Caster, of Oberlin, dem
Ocratic candidate for Congressman from
this district, delivered a speech at the
opera house Friday night to a fair sized
audience. He spoke upon the tariff
and other questions which he cOnsid-
cred vital to the interests of the people
of this country. He was attentively
listened to and made good ali the
way through.
Rather than to go into the details of
Mr.. Casters speech we shall here re-
produce from the Kansas City Star a
short sketch of his life:
"H. o. Caster, the democratic can
didate for congress in the Sixth dis
trict, might be said to be a newspaper
product, for he made his way through
college by circulating the Kansas City
Star. But more than a newspaper
product, he Is a Kansas product. He is
a native of Ohio, but he came to Kan
sas in 1873, when he was only years
old, and all his education and training
has been in Kansas. He has lived the
most of his time in Decatur county.
His father is Daniel Caster, famous
man of the PoPulist period, who repre-
sented Decatur county in the legislature
IN 1891 and 1898. II. o. Caster was
graduated from the Oberlin high school
in 1891, and afterward taught school in
the county. In 1892 he entered the OF
tawa university, where he remained IN
I'll 1893, when he was graduated. It
was in this period that he circulated the
Kansas City Star. While he was in col
lege he was business manager of the
college paper. He also was president
of the intercollegiate OratOrical assOcia-
ton. In two debates he represented
his college and was successful in both.
He has been principal of the Oberlin
city schools for three years, and is now
closing his second year IN the Office of
county superintendent of public instruc-
ton. Besides a successful teacher, Mr..
Caster is a man of affairs. One of his
enterprises is a strong loan company, of
which he is vice-President. One of Mr..
Casters fellow citizens adds a word,
saying: while Mr.. Caster differs from
me politically, want to say to you that
he is a fine young man, a personal
friend and business associate of mine,
and a man of bright promise" Polite
ally Mr.. Caster is a PoPulist, but he was
nominated by the peoples party and
the democrats, and from motives of
policy, and with full understanding of
the fusion leaders, he has accepted the
democratic nomination. By the law of
Kansas a candidate may not accept
more than one nomination.

An Were Drakes.

Mr.. c. E. McCaslin has been laugh
ing a good deal at the expense of his
good wife. And it's all about ducks.
Mrs. McCaslin is a woman that takes
pride in her home and has fondness
for FLOODED" poultry. Some time ago
she bought a setting of ducks eggs of
the Imperial Pekin breed, and gave
them into the keeping of one of her
setting hens. The hen was success
ful in Matching but two ducklings. Mrs.
McCaslin looked upon even the two
with much satisfaction and enjoyment,
and thought that when they were larger
grown how pretty they would be with
their creamy white Plumage and legs
and beak of an orange yellow, to say
nothing of the so to Us eggs each
might lay in a season. The only worTy

necessity. And so she bought drake.
And now Mr.. McCaslin is much amused
to find that if his wife gets any ducks
eggs, her three brakes will have to lay

1904, when he removed to Chelsea, I. T.,
died Of typhoie fever in Wichita last
Tuesday. Mr. White was on his way

ceremony was pronounced by Rev.
Gessell. of KsnOrado circuit. The de-
ceased is survived by his wife and seven
children, none Of which had ever
broken the family circle.
George z. White was one or those
hard working, honest men, whose eff
forts in developing a new country have
more than a mOney-value. With the
rest, he fought against the unPromising
conditions Of the west, and helped to
prepare the way for better things.
Last January Mr.. White sold on his
personal property but retainedhis farm.
The Indian Territory country was not
what he had hoped, and he was return
ing to the old home when taken with
the fever of which he died.
