REPUBLICAN COMMITTEE CALLED
Party Leaders OF Madison County to
Meet July 6.

Chairman S. II. Mcfarland and Sec
retary Jack Koenigstcin of the rcpub
lcan county central committee have
issued a call for the meeting OF the
committee TO be held in the Office of
Chairman Mcfarland on Thursday
July G, at | o'clock p, m.
This is the first movement toward
getting the coming campaign under
way and from that time forward the
meetings of committees, the caucuses
primaries and conventions are apt to
come in rapid succession from one
side Of the fence or the other. There
is little preliminary talk of cand-
dates for county Office, but the field
is quite wide open as yet, and no one
appears to have definite leaders for
any certain position. With the meet
Ing of the republican committee some
thing definite will probably be known
regarding who the leaders will favor
for certain of the Offices on that party
ticket.

Fell In Love With Sada Yeno.

Out on the Colonel Valentine ranch
on Keya Paha creek near Springview,
Nob., n great sensation has just been
sprung In the announcement that the
active head OF the ranch, Lawrence
Valentine, has chosen for himself n
Japanese bride and that the wife was
quietly installed in the household as
his wife eight months ago.
The Valentine ranch extends over
in Nebraska and Is thickly dotted
many hundreds of the richest valley
with thoroughbred cattle. Its young
richer still, so he says, in the happi-
ness that attends the possession Of
so charming wife as his little Sada
Yeno
II was while attending the st. Louis
exposition last summer that Larry"
rs he Is popularity known, met his
fate. Sada Yeno and her father were
prOprietOrs of a tea house to which
an extensive patronage was attracted
because of the charming personality
Young Valentine became interested
in her while slipping tea and amused
himself arguing that Russia could and
would defeat Japan. She was intense
ly patriotic and the fire that flashed
from her eyes as she answered him
found a lodgment in his heart that
Cupid was careful to foster. He OBJ
tanned her fathers consent to take a
moonlight stroll with her through the
broad avenues of the exposition
grounds. and there the flashes from
her eyes were softened by the moon
beams most effectively. To make a
long story short. Larry" fell head
over heels in love with the pretty
modest Sada Yeno.
He proposed and was accepted
Then 1t flashed upon his mind that
there would be the devil to pay when
he returned home to face the anger OF

friends. For was he not the hand

A PATENT MEDICINE DRUNK.
10, the Poor Indian, Has a New Way
Of GETTING a Jau.

Of Getting a Jag.
Some of the redskins that are Wis
iting in Norfolk are on a hilarious
drunk, and they have an original way
of accommodating a jag, They are not
compelled to boot leg whisky; they
are not even reducing the stock Of
lemon eXtract-they are taking patent
medicine in liberal doses. They are
cunning enough to know which con
tains the most alcohol and the way
ii gurgles down their dry throats they
seem to have no fear of consequences
from the medicine it may contain.
Another cunning thing about it is that
there is no question but that they are
entitled to buy patent medicine if they
want II and have the money. A drug
gist may not question the require
ments of his customers except where
they want stronger poisons such as
strychnine or morphine, and whether
John Blackhorse has a pain In his in
terror or Mrs. Brownbear is afflicted
with lung trouble or little Tallmount-
ain has the itch or hives, is not for
him to know. If the reds have the
money they get the medicine and no
questions asked, the same as would
anyone else asking for the same sort
of dope.

BOY IS ARRESTED FOR FORGERY
Charles Flowers Signed Two Checks
With Name of George TannehiIl.

Charles Flower, aged seventeen, was
arrested today, charged with the forg-
cry of two checks, one for sl7 and
the other for $25, to both of which he
is alleged to have signed the name of
George Tannehill. Young Flowers
lives with his father, who rents the
George Tannehill farm. He was
placed in Jail today. He says that he
was drunk when he signed the first
check but has no excuse to offer for
the second.
The first check, for SIT, was cashed
at the Bee Hive store in April The
other was cashed Saturday at the Star
in town and the check was returned
by the bank as not good.
The first check was made out to
Ira Baker and was given for part
payment to Rosenthal & Krasne. Sat.
urday he asked Cashier Pasewalk at
the Norfolk National bank for check
book, stating that he wanted it for
Mr.. Tannehill. Although suspicious
of him, Mr., Pasewalk gave the book
TO the applicant. The check at the
Star was cashed Saturday night and
was made out to John Burns. Gus
Kuhl caught the lad today within thir-
ty minutes after he learned that the
check was a forgery. The boy denied
at first having done anything of the
sort but the checkbook was found on
him and another check was already
written out to John Burns for S25

The Letter
Robert Wrote
BY Kate ~. Cfeary
Copyright, 1904, by Kate NJ. Cleary

1t was a day like an opai-full OF
light and sparkle and blue brilliances
and tender, greenlsh shadows. Ray
had awakened 10 1t all with recip.
tocal rush OF JOY born of perfect health
Snd almost perfect happiness,
Would Robert feel annoyed that she
had failed TO keep her appointment
with him the day previousg The
thought troubled her, She could not
bear to remain indoors and eat her
breakfast. She would run out In the
garden and wait until the postman
passed, She had her plunge bath,
dressed and went flying downstairs.
Singing, she flashed out into the dewy
brightness OF the young day. She
went darting from shrub to shrub and
from flower to flower. for all the world
like bright plumaged humming bird.
Ahl There was the postman coming
down the block now!
Good morningr' she cried smllingly.
She caught eagerly the letter he ex.
tended. At first as she read a shadow
crossed her countenance. Gradually
this expression gave place to one Of
bewilderment. Finally It merged In a
look Of complete comprehension.
Robert won't be angry about the
broken appointment" she decided.
And she was singing again as she
went indoors.
This Is the letter Robert wrote:

BATHING AND HEALTH.
Benefits TO &c Derived From Cole
Water and Rubbing.

Benefits TO Ec Derived From Cold
Water and Rubbing.
A cold bath-we might as well get nj
the straight of the thing-ls not really
a matter of cleanliness so much as a
matter Of getting the skin livened up
and the capillaries and veins next To
the surface full Of blood. Ice cold
water or scalding hot water will do
that, but tepid watei-no, no!
The skin is almost exactly the same
kind of an excreting organ as the
lungs. The same products. seep
through the pores as are carried Off in
the breath, and the air purifies the
blood in the same way. But the great
er part of the skin is smothered up in
clothes day and night. What the cold
water Of the bath dissolves is matter
well away. And the rubbing dry is
pretty vigorous exercise IL you want
to know. ANY rubbing Is bound to
push the blood along toward the heart
and help the circulation, because there
are valves in the veins which prevent
the blood from going in any other dl.
rection than toward the heart. What
ever loose fakes Of outer cuticle are
rubbed off we needn't worry about;
plenty more where they came from.
The extra food the increased appetite
demands will make good that trifilng
loss-Eugene Wood in Everybody's

such seizures, and she knew just what
