Governor Peabody of Colorado
should give way gracefully to his
Democratic successor, Alma Adams.
Peabody has started q contest in the
hope of retaining his seat, and while
some frauds have been discovered in
a recount of some precints, it is not
likely the change will be enough to
over come the 10000 lead of Adams.
Governor Peabody has made himself
very unpopular with the laboring
class, especially the miners, and it
would be better for Colorado that he
step down and out.

much of its space in trying to smooth
over some of the naughty things it
said during the campaign. It is now
endeavoring to make good" with Re-
publicans it so basely libeled-and it's
editor will try to play on the good
nature of the men elected to Office,
and get next to the "pie counter" if
possible. He has been known to
work Republican officials in the past,
but we miss our guess if his honeyed
words and post-election smiles will
win much "pie" from the next county
administration.

Tom Watson predicts that Bryan
will be the nominee of the Democracy
in 1908. Bryan will certainly be in
the foreground four years from now,
if on top of the earth, and the party
might as we'll nominate him as any
one else. The ca mpaign gives him a
nice advertisement, and he can take
defeat as graceful as most any man.

MAKES VALUABLE FIND.
New York Scientist Discovers Seaweed
for Making Iodine.

Tacoma. Wash. Aug. 25.-William D.
Crane, a New York engineer and scien-
tist has just completed an examination
of the kelp or seaweed beds found at
Neah bay, just inside Cape Flattery.
He believes they can be successfully
utilized as a basis for the manufacture
of iodine. Crane has gone to Japan,
but will return next summer to finish
his experiments. He will also fnvesti-
gate the fossil beds of Fossil island, in
Georgia straits. which seem to him to
possess important commercial POSSIBLE
titles.
For many years iodine mas been man.
ufactured from kelp found on the coast
of Scotland; in fact. the kelp of that
locality has produced the bulk of the
iodine used throughout the eworld. Kelp
is plentiful in many parts of the world,
but as a rule it's quality is too weak to
warrant its use for iodine.
An analysis Of the Puget sound kelp
made at the University of Washington
shows that iodine can be made from
the local product, though the latter is
not as strong in iodine as the kelp
gathered near Scotland.

TO LAY THE CORNER STONE.
Seventh Day Adventists Open Their
Wichita Sanitarium.

Wichita, Kan. Aug. 25.-Seventh
Day Adventists from all over the state
are gathered here for their annual
camp meeting, which opened last
evening Payne's park. where the
camp is pitched, is filled with tents
and it will not be large enough to ac-
commodate all who will be here. More
than one thousand campers are ex-
pected- The Rev. r. w. Parmele of
Fort Scott preached the opening SER
mon, taking for his subject, 1.-THE
Hope of the Christian
In it he discussed the doctrine of
the Adventists where it breaches the
second coming of Jesus Christ
A special feature of the camp meet
ing this year is the laying of the cor
ner stone of the branch sanitarium to
be located here. 1t will be the only
sanitarium of its kind in the state and
will be conducted on the same lines
followed by other institutions like it
which are controlled by the church.
The building now is well under way.
1t will be four stories high. The cor
ner stone will be laid with impressive
ceremonies Monday. At a meeting of
the medical missionary board it was
decided to call DR.. B. Z. Fuller to
take charge of it after it has been
completed.

KELSEY IS VERY SORE.
Says That Topeka Isn't Properly
Grateful.

Adjutant General Kelsey is incensed.
He said today that he is and that fur
the more he does not feel kindly toward
Topeka and he believes the newspapers
have combined to misrepresent the
Kansas National guard and to make
misstatements about the militiamen.
Adjutant General KelSey'S bittereSt
complaint is that the officers of The
Kansas National guard are not always
given their proper titles. LleutenantS
are some times, says he, called captains
and brigadier generals are lowered to
the grade of colonel. Adjutant General
Kelsey is particularly displeased with
the statement that Capt. w. A Pierce,
of the governors staff, had two quarts
of Gibson whisky stolen from him and
that he had sworn out a warrant for
the arrest of the two high privates who
committed the theft.
The objection Adjutant General KEEL
sey makes is that the title of captain
is not correct and that it should be
lieutenant and aide de camp and that
the officer who lost the two quarts of
whisky should not be placed on the
governors staff but on the staff OF
Brigadier General Hughes. Neither
myself nor the governor can counten-
ance this said Adjutant Generate ell
sey, meaning probably that a soldier
who can not keep high pr1vateS from
foraging on him is not capable of
position the governors staff.
Adjutant General Kelsey is not in
particularly. pleasant frame of mind
now that the militia encampment is
over. He asid today: Il worked for
two months and worked hard preparing
for this encampment and I was re-
sponsible for bringing the national
guard encampment to Topeka and still
I have not so much as received word
of thanks from the people of Topeka"

PRICE OF CHINESE WIVES.
Getting Now So Only the WeaIthiest
CeIestiaIs Can Marry.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 25.-The
Chinese exclusion act is working to
the financial disadvantage of would-be
benedicts. The price or wives is be-
ing rapidly advanced, till it is getting
so that only the wealthy can afford
the luxury of a wife.
The proportion of women among
the Chinese is small. The percentage
of unmarried women is much smaller.
There are, it is estimated. about TWEEN
ty bachelors to one maid. Consequent
" competition is running strong.
Not long ago, fairly pretty and
talented wife could be purchased for
$500. Now the very ordinary brand
is rated at $500 or $500, and some
of the choice articles bring as high
as $1,000 and $500. Think of that
An expenditure of $500 and not an
article of furniture in the house!
1t is rumored that there is a syndi-
cate formed to corner the wife mar
ket, that every manageable woman
is to be optioned by this syndicate
and any negotiations Tor a woman
must be made through this combina-
ton.

tried to quell the panic, but when he
mounted the stand to talk to the peo-
pie ne saw the snake coming his way,
and that ended his endeavors.
At about this time the snake charmer
in the circus missed her pet. Rushing
toward the camp meeting grounds she
was told of the presence there of the
big python. and quickly captured it
She explained that the snake was harm
less, and was merely enjoying brief
outing, a boy having left the cage open.

Queer Looking Vehicle Making Auto

Richmond. Ind, Aug. 25.-zack
Arnold of Castine, Ohio, sailed into
Richmond in queer looking vehicle
that resembles a river tug and drop
ped anchor off the Westcott hotel
Arnold's auto attracted much more
attention than any of the splendid
touring cars of fasteners who were
here en- route to st. Louis from New
York. Arnold's vehicle consists of an
ordinary wagon base with canvas top.
The wheels are iron tired. The in
terror of the auto is reached by pass

side, and the steering apparatus is
close to the front and is hidden to the
view of outsiders by the canvas top
that also completely hides the driver.

can be seen peering through a little
window.
Arnold built the machine in his lit

minutes. The distance is eighteen
miles. Arnold says the auto meets his
needs and he is satisfied with il.
