Mr.. PettIjohn wrote letter ofsoms three

Who Were the Transoressorsf

There was a ripple Of laughter
around the Capitol when the annual
report Of Major Richard Sylvester,
Washington's chief Of police, was
read. Major Sylvester Ia required by
law to report to Congress annually
showing how efficient his force is.
Among other things he has to make
up a set of statistics giving the num-
Der Of arrests, with the race, complex
ion. occupation and offense of each
Individual arrested.
In the report are many columns de-
voted to tabulated petty crimes, in
yolying the arrest Of gamblers, touts,
tramps, burglars, pickpockets, saloon
keepers, fakirs, bunko men, and all
that sort of shady humanity.
Two lines in the list, however, at
tracted the most attention. These
stated there had been an arrest "of
one Senator and two Represents
tiyes in Congress"
Everybody in the Senate and the
House wants to know who the Gena-
tor and Representatives are.

For Sheriff.

ment Of Capt. d. L. Sweeney for Sheriff
OF Ford county. Capt. sweeney's wide
acquaintance in the county and his well
known excellent qualifications for the

Everyone will admit that he would make
good Sheriff and bis acquaintance and
friendship among the people makes him
avery strong candidate. Captain Sweeney
is serving as a deputy revenue collector
and as such has made a fine record, but

On last Sunday morning May 20, 1905

old, who was working for his cousin, d.
L. Nisley on his farm about one and a
half miles north east Of Bucklin commit
ted suicide. The circumstances Of the
case so far as we have been able to learn
them are as follows: The Nisleys belong
to tho Amish church and these people
were to have services that Sunday morn
Ing at neighbours house about three
fourths Of a mile from the Nisley home.
Mr.. Nisley's family all went to attend
these services, and Jacob Nisley the hired
man said that he too would attend, but
when the family were ready to start he
said that he would walk over as he was
not quite ready to 90 with them. In less
than an hour after leaving home, and
Just as services were to begin Mr.. Nisley
discovered that his house, which was In
sight was on fire. All Of the people who
were gathered for services went immedi-
ately to the scene of oonfagration, but
when they arrived the fire had gained
such Roadway that II was impossible to
do anything with II. Soon someone In.
auired about the hired man and 1t was
then discovered that he was not with the
crowd. Search was made for him but no
trace Of him could be found. Ii was
noticed that about half Of ton OF coal
that had laid a little distance from the
house, had been removed. As soon as the
house had fallen In and 1t was possible
to do so for the heat, the people COM
menced to throw water onto the fire, and
soon the charred remains of the unfor-
tunate young man we're seen lying on q
pile Of burning coal within the burned
building. A five gallon coal oil can
which was kept In cave some distance
from the house was found near the body
1t is supposed that as soon as the family
had left for church the young man car
ried the coal into the kitchen, pillng !,
up near the stove, then went to the cave,
and got the oil can which contained about
four gallons Of oil at the time. He then

FINE entertainment
PoImatisr Sisters Delighted all Who
Heard Them.


The entertainment given by the Pol.
matter sisters at the Presbyterian church
Monday evening was great hit. The
sisters are not marvellous because there
are five of them from one family, but be-
cause they are five artists, In different
musical lines, making marvellous COM
bInatlon. Every selection was greeted
with an enthusiastic encore, and had they
reappeared as often as recalled they
would have consumed the time of two
performances In the one evening. The
only trouble with the work Of Hitchcock,
In bis original ROTATIONS, was that the
audience could not get half as much as
they wanted of him, In the time assigned
him. He Is immense. II the ladies'
clubs, under whose auspices the enter
taipment was given, could have made the
publlc believe before the company came

fully convinced Of after they appeared,
there is not an auditorium In Dodge City
that would have Accommodated half the
people that would have turned out, no
difference what the admission charged
The fifty cent price was low enough, com
pared with the majority of attractions mol

congratulated highly for afording the
public an opportunity for enjoying sucf
a rare treat at so small cost, irrespective

How n. o. RoIfs Sells Hyomei, tn
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh.


H. O. Rolls has an unusual offer to
make to our readers, one that will be
of the greatest value to many.
For some years II. o. Rolls has been
watching the results from the use OF
Hyomei, a treatment for catarrh that
cures by breathing medicated air, alb
solutely without any stomach dosing.
The results have been so universally
successful that he feels justified in
making a public offer to treat the
worst case of catarrh in Rock Island
with the understanding that if Hyomei
does not cure, the treatment will cost
absolutely nothing.
The regular Hyomei outfit costs only
one dollar, and consists of a neat peck
ct inhaler that can be carried In the
purse or vest pocket, a medicine drop
per, and bottle of Hyomei. If this
is not enough for a cure extra bottles
of Hyomei can be obtained for soc.
H. o. Rolls positively guarantees a
cure, if Hyomei is used in accordance
with directions, or he will refund the
money. Harper House pharmacy.
