INSIMCERlTY
HAS HAMeERED PROGRESS OF
THE pARRis CAMPAIGN.

Voters in all parts Of Kansas are
keeping pretty close track Of the cam
paign In the state this year and are
well informed as to the issues. The
days when political sharp practice and
smooth talk fool the people are past.
Kansas voters read the daily news
papers and know what ia going on. For
that reason Col. Harris of Chicago
and his Democratic hackers are maxi
ing little progress IN their crusade
against Governor Hoch. The people
know what has been going on and
some Of the best expositlons Of the
hypocrisy and insincerity of the Dem
ocratic leaders have come from lay
members of the Republican party
who ordinarily do little save vote.
z. ]. Gregg Of Burlington, well
known Republican locally recently
penned the following clear analysis Of
the situation giving in plain, common
sense terms the reason for the fall.
ure Of the Democratic campaign:
"There are two things the Demo.
cratic machine in Kansas has from
the first been sadly in need Of in their
PROSECUTING campaign for Republi-
can votes.
THE first IL sincerity.

NEAR DEATH THROUGH SNAKE
Sleeper Awoke to Find Monster Coied
 Around Hs Neck.

F. E. Feve, an employe of the Northern Electric, had thrilling ex' perience with a snake Tuesday morn- ing. Feve with two companions occu- pies a tent made out of gunny sacks in the western portion of Oroville.
 He was awakened by feeling of strangulation. He attempted to cry out, but so tightly was his throat bound that he could make no sound As he became fully awake he realized that something must be done or he would choke He grabbed frantically for his throat and his hand slipped over the scales of huge snake which had coiled itself around his neck. He frantically pulled the coils loose, the reptile resisting him and biting him in the cheek.
 His two companions, awakened by the noise, came to Feves rescue. The two pulled the snake away and threw it to the floor, where it glided away while the men attended to Mir Feve's wound. The reptile was gopher snake.-Redding Correspondence San Francesca Call

NOTRE DAME ALWAYS CHARMS
Visitors Never Tire of Beauty of
 Famous Cathed dral.

Often as I have seen Notre Dame, the marvel of it never grows less. l go to Paris with no thought or time for it. busy about many other things; and then, on my way over one of the bridges across the river perhaps, l see it again on its island, the beanti- full towers high above the high roofs of houses and palaces, and the view, now so familiar, strikes me afresh with all the wonder of my first impress sion. The wonder only seems greater if turn. as am always tempted to-. and walk down the quays on the left bank, the towers before me and with every step coming more and more completely together, by the Font Neuf. to the island, and at last to the great square where Notre Dame fronts me in it's superb calm.-Elizabeth Robins Pennell, in The Century.

Dallas Long, a 15-year-old boy, who lives on Main street, Argenta, has completed miniature steam- boat, which is on exhibition at the Gazette branch office, 311 Main street. The boat is about three feet in length, and about two feet in height, and has two decks, stern wheel and complete engine room. It is painted red, white and black, and the work is very artistic for one so young. It required two weeks to make the boat, and the only tools young Long used were pocket knife and a small hand saw.
 Clark county is to have the first model country school house to be erected in the State, according to plans prepared by State Superinten- dent J. IT. Hinemon.

chamois Skin of Commerce.

Charles C. Druedling, of Phllade'- phia. has written an article for the American Journal of Pharmacy on the subject of chamois skins. What IS known in the market as chamois skins he says. is really an oil-tanned sheep or lamb skin lining. The supply ol skins from the chamois animal is very limited-enough could not be obtained in year to supply the United states for more than a single day. lie made special inquiry on recent vislt to Switzerland about the annual crop or the chamois skin and ascertained that from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a fair average yearly crop. This skin IS heavier than the skin of the sheep or lamb. also much coarser. For strength and durability the chamois skin is pre- ferable, but for ordinary use and ap- pearance the oil-tanned sheep skin lining would, in most instances, De preferred.

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used POstum Food Coffee since it came upon the market years ago knows from ex- perience the necessity of using Pos tum in place of coffee if one values health and steady brain.
 She says: At the time Postum was first put on the market 1 was suffer- ing from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally l de- cided to take his advice and try Postum, and got sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it deli cious to the taste. So l continued its use and very soon it's beneficial ef- fects convinced me of it's value, for got well of my nervousness and dys- pepsia.
 My husband had been drinking cof. fee all his life until it had affected his nerves terribly. l persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him.
 We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stom- ach. To make long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with completely sat. isfying results, as shown in our fine condition of health and we have mo- ticsd a rather unexpected improve ment in brain and nerve power" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Increased brain and nerve power al ways follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in very marked manner.

Ucser c,

All women work some in their homes, some in church, and some in the whirl of society. And in stores, mills and shops tens of thousands are on the never-ceasing treadmill, earning their daily bread.
 All are subject to the same physical laws all suffer alike from the same physical disturbance, and the nature of their duties, in many cases, quickly drifts them into the horrors of all kinds of female complaints, tumors, alteration, falling and displace- ments or perhaps irregularity or suppression, causing backache, ner- vousness, irritability and lassitude.
 They especially require an invigorat- ing, sustaining medicine which will strengthen the female organism and enable them to bear easily the fatigues of the day, to sleep well at night, and to rise refreshed and cheerful.
 How distressing to see a woman struggling to earn a livelihood or per- form her household duties when her back and head are aching, she is so tired she can hardly drag about or stand up, and every movement causes pain, the origin of which is due to some Arrangement of the female or ganism.
 Miss F. Orser, of If WarrentOn Street, Boston, tells women how to avoid such suffering; she writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "I suffered misery for several years with female irregularities My back ached; had bearing down pains, and frequent headaches;
The log cabin Democrat., 1906-08-16

I could not sleep and could hardly drag around. I consulted two physicians without relief, and as last resort, 1 tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and to my surprise, every ache and pain left me. 1 gained ten pounds and am in perfect health. :" Miss Pearl Ackers, of 327 North Sum- mer Street, Nashville, Tenn, writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
 "I suffered with painful periods, severe backache, bearing down pains, pains across the abdomen; was very nervous and 1rr1ta- ble, and my trouble grew worse every month. My physician failed to help me and decided to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I soon found it was doing me good. All my pains and aches disappeared, and no longer fear my monthly periods" :"
 Lydia F, Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the unfailing cure for all these troubles. It strengthens the proper muscles, and displacement with all it's horrors will no more crush you.
 Backache, dizziness, fainting, bear ing-down pains, disordered stomach, moodiness, dislike of friends and society all symptoms of the one cause-will be quickly dispelled, and it will make you strong and well.
 You can tell the story of your suf- ferings to woman, and receive help ful advice free of cost. Address Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. The present Mrs. Pinkham is the daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham and for tweHty- five years she has, under her direction and since her decease, been advising sick women free of charge.

NEWS OF ARKANSAS

The following is the reading of the Constitution with reference to taxation for school purposes, and also the reading as it will be if the proposed Amendment No. 8 is adopted. It is being published throughout the state over the sigma ture of Hon. John H. Hinemon. who is lending so ably and faithfully his labors and abilities to the success of the amendment at the polls in September, and is in reply to a ques- tion on the subject, placing the whole matter in its true light:
 Section of Article 14 of the Con- stitution of the State of Arkansas as it now stands reads as follows: 'The general assembly shall provide, by general laws, for the support of common schools by taxes, which shall never exceed in any one year two mills on the dollar on the taxa ble property of the state; and by an annual per capita tax of one dollar, to be assessed on every male inhabi- tant of this state over the age of twenty-one years. Provided, The general assembly may by general law authorize school districts to levy, by vote of the qualified electors of such district, a tax not to exceed five mills on the dollar in any one year for school purposes.
 Should the vote in the September election be favorable to the adop- ton of amendment No. 8, the sec ton above referred to would read as follows: "The general assembly shall provide by general laws for the sup port of common school taxes, which shall never exceed in any one year three mills on the dollar on the taxa ble property of the state, and by an annual per capita tax of one dollar, to be assessed on every male lnhabl- tant of this state over the age of twenty-one years. Provided, the general assembly may by general law authorize school districts to levy by vote of the qualified electors of such districts a tax not to exceed seven mills on the dollar in any one year for school purposes. Provided, further, that no such tax shall be ap- propriated to any other purpose nor to any other district than that for which it was levied"
 You will note from this that while the general assembly is authorized to enact laws increasing the state levy from two to three mills and authoriz- ing such school districts as may de- sire to do so to vote local tax not exceeding seven mills, the per capita tax remains the same, and is not increased to two dollars, as you seem to think.
 Respectfully yours,

It was in July, 1873, at which time a large force of laborers had reached that point in the construction of the roadbed for the Cairo and Fulton Railroad, afterward the Iron Noun tain, but no train had yet arrived that far along the road, one work train having come as far as the crossing of the old Camden and Washington military road, about two miles east of town.
