Fair PLAY.

The practice Of Collier s Weekly to
allow any man who has anything worth
saying to say It in its columns is Ger,
took occasion to call Thomas Lawson a
liar and several other things in Col
lier's, the magazine Immediately al
lowed Lawson to reply. In the last
number Lawson freely criticises not
only Norman Hapgood, but even the
publishers Of Golfers itself. We are
willing to allow the public the same
freedom in testing and criticising
golden grain belt beer. Come to the
beer itself, apply any tests you like
and we are absolutely certain you will
decide in favor Of golden grain belt.

COMMITTEE HAS
ROD IN PICKLE
Talk of Furnishing Counties Which
Cut Dunn Worst by Reducing
Their Delegations.
Such Action Would Revive Fac
tional Feeling Among Re-
publicans of the State.

The basis Of representation for the
republican state convention next year
Is an important problem. After the
bitter strife and schism of 1904, the re-
uniting of warning elements in G. O. P.
ranks in Minnesota will be a delicate
herents of R. G. Dunn will have the first
action to take They control the state
committee, and in calling the state con-
vention they will either present basis
for harmonious action, or else revive
the bitter fractional feeling that split
the party last year.
It is current political talk that the
irreconcilable Dunn men are demand
ing that the counties which slaughtered
the head of the ticket be punished.
They want the delegates to the conven-
ton based on the votes cast for Dunn.
and not the Roosevelt vote. It is usual
to base the representation on the presi.-
Dental vote. The 1898 convention call
was based on the Mckinley vote of
the same basis. The conventions of
1902 and 1904 were based on the votes
cast for Mckinley in 1900. In presi--
Dental years there was some talk OF
basing the call on the vote for COVER
nor two years before, but this was not
done because it would mean, smaller
convention, and cut down the represen-
tation of many counties. In off years
there was no question about taking the
presidential vote.
The present republican state commit
tee is almost wholly composed of men
who were Dunn partisans all last year.
All but seven or eight of the 81 mem
bers were appointed at the candidate s
dictation. If they think best, they can
"punish' Hennepin and other counties
which went against Dunn by taking the
Dunn vote as the basis.
Probable Number of Delegates.
The convention last year had LIS
delegates. Based on the Roosevelt vote
at the same ratio-the next conven-
ton will have 1885 delegates. Based
on the Dunn vote the delegates would
number 974.
Hennepin county cast barely half as
many votes for Dunn as. for Roosevelt.
Based on the presidential vote the coun-
tvs delegation would increase from 113
to Isl. Based on the Dunn vote it
would drop to g.. Other counties would
also suffer severely. Freedom county
would have II delegates on the Roose-
welt and IS on the Dunn vote; Goodhue
would drop from % to 10; Nicollet from
12 to z; Rice from Is to IL; Chisapo
from Is to 10; sStearns from 16 to II +;
Renville from II to II; Pope from IL
to 9; Clay from IA to 9; Otter Tail from
"a to Is, and Polk from 10 to IA. The

Braun was arrested on the following

to the department Of commerce and Ia

taken up the case.
The state of affairs in the foreign
emigration centers Of Europe, as out

department of commerce and labor
may well cause concern both at home
and abroad. The gist Of emigration

Figures Are Appalling.

"These are appalling figures. They
are the more appalling when they are
analysed and their significance more
fully understood.
"They mean that in a single year
there pours into the country a multi
tude Of humble people equal to or
any one Of eighteen states Of the union.
"It means that if all these newcom-
ers, poor Of purse and most of them
poorer yet in qualifications for citizen
ship, were to assemble in one place
they would alone make a city exceeded
in population by only New York, Chi
cago and Philadelphia.
. It means that to every eighty men,
women and children in the United
States at the beginning Of the year
one is to be added during the twelve
month from the steerage Of the trans
atlantic steamships.

Increase Of Laborers.

It means an increase of about 20
per cent in the number Of men in the
United States whose means Of liveli-
hood is such that they are officially
classed as t5laborers in the census
reportsand this 20 per cent increase
in a single year is reached by reckon
ing that only about one-half of the
new arrivals will join the ranks of
workers at the bottom of the indus
trial ladder.

is not surprising to learn that Presi-
dent Roosevelt has upon his desk a
collection Of reports bearing upon inn
migration which he is carefully study
ing with the intention of urging con
sideration Of the problem upon con-
gress at an early day. In the opinion
of the president and his advisers, this
is a problem with which the national
lawmakers and the American people
must wrestle, and that speedily.

SMALLPOX SITUATION
 NOW UNDER CONTROL.

Lonoke, May 8. 8.-The smallpox situation in the Concord neigh borhood has improved very much by this time. Not a single death has occurred and very few new cases have developed, compared to the large number exposed.
 The mild form of the disease is attributed to the warm weather and a fear is entertained lest 1t may break out in a more dan gerous form next winter.
 To prevent this vaccination has been advised and accepted by the greater part of the peo- pie. The houses which have held smallpox pa tients will also be thoroughly disinfected with formaldehyde.

n11 kANsAs. TUESDAY. MAYO. 1905

Perryville, May 8.-John V. Roberts attempted to lecture on the "Other Side of Life" Satur- day night, but was denied the privilege of featuring in the town.
 He was denied the court house and also the school building, and was to lecture in the Methodist church, but citizens of the town gathered at the church and told him that they objected to him featuring at the church or any other place in the city and that they positively would not permit it, giving their reasons, some of them being that he had been turned down by the Democratic party, the Masonic fraternity, the bar of the state, the city of Little Rock and various other reasons, and that it was the de- sire of the citizens that he with draw his appointment, as he was an imposition on the good people.
 MT. Roberts, after hearing their reasons and seeing the de- termination of the citizens, called off his lecture, but stated that to satisfy curiosity and to stop the report that was being circulated that Dr. Lightle was not buried in the Rison cemetery at this place the Lightle grave would be opened Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, at which time the grave was opened and a body pronoun- ced to be that of Dr. Dightle was viewed by majority of the citi- zens of Perryville.
 The remains were badly de- {, composed, but every feature showed it to be that of Dr. R. G. Lightle. The grave remained open about ten minutes and no one that ever saw Dr. Lightle and viewed the remains now in the grave has any doubts that he is not dead and buried at this place.
 It was about dark when Dr. ! Lightle was buried and a mis- take was made in placing his body in the grave, it facing the west, which position it still re- tains.

Our acquaintance with him dates back to when we were students in the Arkansas Col lege in the early sos. He was of a lovable disposition and a student of rare ability, which was exemplifed by his constant rise to rank and promotion.

Little Rock, May 8. 8.-Attorney General Robert L. Rogers and Chas. Jacobson, private secre- tary to Governor Davis, had a personal altercation at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the govern OTIS office.
 The trouble came up over a discussion in which it is said Ja- cobson called Rogers liar, and a newspaper man told Rogers of the epithet. Gen. Rogers was in his office Sunday afternoon talking to some friends and re- marked that he was going across the hall to whip Jacobson.
 He went to the door of the governors office and saw Jacob son standing at the phone. The door was locked, but Jacobson opened it and invited Rogers in. Rogers told Jacobson to come out in the hall so that he could whip him. Rogers says that Jacobson then ran into the gov ernor's private office and he fol- lowed him.
 Rogers grabbed him by the col lar and slapped him with his right hand. By this time, ac- cording to Rogers story, Jacob- son was on his knees begging the attorney general not to strike him, and reminding him that he was a Mason and an Elk. Rogers then slapped him in the face with his left hand and again with his right, and pushed him away.

 Get Up

In the morning tired, languid, and frequently with a headache that is almost unbearable. You have been nervous, restless and sleepless night after night, and gloomy and irritable during the day. This nervous exhaus- ton affects the heart, lungs and other organs that depend upon the nerves for motive power. Then the stomach fails to di- gest the food; the heart action Is weak, and circulation poor, and the kidneys and liver in- active.
 What you need is not a stom- ach, head, kidney or liver med icine, but Dr. Miles Nervine to soothe and feed the nerves and build nerve tissue.
 My wife was subject to severe men, tai strain, which resulted in nervous prOstratiOn. The first symptoms were uncontrollable crying and melancholy spells, which increased to such an ex- tent that for over year she would have a spell every day of from four to six hours duration She required the constant attention of her physic- ian and attendants. She suffered great pain and anguish. The best physicians attending her could give no relief, and she finally became almost of unsound mind As a last resort l began giving her pr. Miles Nervne, and Tonic, and noticed that her spells next day were not so severe, and they gradually dis appeared altogether, She has had no recurrence of the spells, and Is gain ing in health and strength.
