Geo. d. Perkins declined to be a
candidate for the republican nomina.
tion for governor five years ago because
he did not want to make fight fol
such an Office. Present indications
point to the wisdom of the old adage
THAT it is never wise to put off to to-
morrow what one can do today. Fair
field. Ledger
There might have been another rea
son. The fight for the nomination
five years ago was involved with q
contest between corporations. The
Burlington was leading ON one side
and the Rock Island and the Milwau.
kee were leading on the other. The
Burlington was against Cummins anC
the Rock Island and the milwaukee,
were for him. Mr.. Perkins did moi
care to get into fight of that kind
That is one of the reasons for with
drawing his name. 1t is said he might
have won if he had stayed in. Ii Mr.
Perkins is ever chosen to the office OF
governor of this state he wants 9
clear title from the republican party
There were other reasons why Mr..
Perkins withdrew five years ago, but
this is one of them. The governor
must regard it as a good reason, To-
he is boasting this year that he is fire.,
of the acknowledgements he had in 1901
Mr.. Perkins is willing at any time tt
fight for the republican party. If sup
port is given him this year it should
be given ON the distinct understanding
that he is candidate subject to thu
will of the party, and that if he is
nominated and elected his obligation
will run as republican to the peopl
of this state. Geo. ID. Perkins in
Sioux City Journal.

A SHREWD SW!NDLER.
The Young Man LaSiter Plays we'll
His Game.

\. D. Lasiter, the young white man
claiming to represent the Electrical
Construction Co., Of Richmond, Va,
and who was arrested in this city Tues
day for obtaining under false pretense
$40 from Mr.. O. p. Dickerson, Of Mount
Olive, and who was subsequently re-
leased from custody after reimbursing
Mr.. Dickerson for his loss, turns out to
be a shrewd and scheming rascal.
Since his release Chief Freeman has
received information that he has been
obtaining money III like manner at
several other near by towns.
At Fayetteville he. succeeded in de-
frauding a gentleman by the. name Of
Jones, out Of $50, and at Apex he
secured $35, S25 from DIR. r. W. So.
yens, Of that place, and SO from q
gentleman whose name we did not
learn.
Young Lasiter IS an apt converse
tlonaIist, dresses well and apparently
is a polished young gentleman whose
peculiar magnetism easily wins friends
who would not for a moment suspect
him to be the rascal that he really is.
He claimed to be a membe in good
standing Of the Junior Order, and
several of the mem bers here interested
themselves in him, until he refused to
stand trial and establish his in
nocence, when they became suspicious
and refused TO aid him further.
He seemed Indifferent to his arrest
and Imprisonment in the guard house,
and is one Of those kind of fellows that
readily gains ones sympathy, and 50
wen did he play his little game, that
even the officers Gid not think him
guilty
His Whereabouts is now unknown, /,

Anent the Peek.d-BOO.


! Greensboro Industrial News.
When entering upon q discussion OF
such simple and commonplace subjects
as the tariff, the Isthmian canal or the
national currency we are buoyed up by
feeling of familiarity with the matter
under discussion.
There are other great problems, how
ever, which we approach with fear and
tremb bling, well knowing that it is only
blind temerity that prompts us to SO
much as mention the matter.
With such feeling do we assemble
eur meditations preparatory to the task
of enunciating our opinion upon the
| great sociological problem of the age
| the winsome, alluring, evasive peek a
| boo waist.
What visions the words call up! An
expanse Of lace with bits of cloth scat
tered here and there in artistic disorder,
but in such a way as not too strongly
to divert the attention. knot of rib
bon, perhaps delicate pink, perhaps a
! pensive blue, hiding but not hidden be-
/
eloquent, but pause for fear we may
grow indiscreet.
But whence came this latest creation
III feminine apparel-ifr apparel be the
/ proper term to use? We have honored
the man who invented the X-rays; why
! then do we not search out and honor
the man who went step further and
enabled us to see without the inter
vention of an elaborate apparatus? 1t
is true we do not even know his name,
but such has ever been the manner in
which the world has repaid its bene-
/ factors.
Some stern faced old sisters or
brothers may inveigh against youthful
femininity adorning itself in the peek
a-boo waist, but we see no force in
their argument. They seem to base
their reasoning upon the suppositiOn
! that the peek-a-bo waist is AN article
Of clothing, whereas we take it to be
simply an ornament that is intended to
beautify and adorn. That it should
| logically be considered n part of the
scheme to furnish protection against
the seasons, or satisfy the demands of
/ Mother Grundy we do not concede.
! If, however, such be it's mission, that
mission has resulted in abject and utter
| failure.
Many are it's friends and numerous
are its enemies. It's banishment caused
strike in big New York department
store; its presence threatens to become
disturbing element in various Iocali-
! ties
That the subject is too vast for our
limited intellect, too elusive for our
clumsy powers of expression, we freely
concede; but perhaps a mind that can
/ tell what is d Democrat, why rabbit
wobbIes its nose, or when do pig be
come hog, can tell US what is the
i genesis and what the destiny Of the
peek-a- boo waist, and if SO. why. We
pause for an answer

bles. and j. H. Hill Il Son urge every
reader Of the ARGUS to use Eyomei

Unlike the ordinary treatment for

samic healing air penetrates to the
most remote parts Of the nose, throat
and lungs searches out and kills the
cattarrh germs, in all parts Of the re-
spiratory organs and soothes and heals
any irritation there may be in the
mucous membrane.
Hyomei is not alone the only natural
treatment for catarrh, but it is the only
one soled under an absolute guarantee
to refund the money unless it gives
satisfaction. 1t kills all disease germs
and restores the mucous membrane OF
the throat, nose and lungs to perfectly
healthy condition.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs
but 81 90, extra bottles, SOC. J. H. Hill
& Son, sell Hyomei under an absolute
guarantee to refund the money if il
does not give satisfaction. You run nc
risk al all in buying this guaranteed
remedy.
