| Republican column to victory up the San Juan Hill of Oklahoma politics amidst lusty cheers for statehood and square dcal' In it's account of the convention, it is apparent that every mention of the name of Frantz evoked | the widest enthusiasm. For instance: "During the uproar Chairman Mur- phy put through motion to suspend the rules and nominate Fran,z by ac. clama,ion. The motion carried like 2 whirlwind
 "Frank Frautz was declared the nominee of the convention for governor by exclamation.
 "Pandcmonium rcigncd. The dele gates chccrcd themselves hoarsc. Tho Guthrie band struck up with the 'Cu- ban Independence March, appropriate as n reminder of the winning of his first laurcls by the brilliant Rough Rider. The whole convention rose to it's feet, Hats were tossed in the air. oII Ul'H bUVul IlhF DbNNs hfH laughed and cried in their joy. For more than five minutes the convention was n wild, cheering, enthusiastic mass of men. The sight was one never to be forgotten. Enthusiasm was ram pant. In vain the chairman rappcd for order and the sergeant at arms was powcrlcss to qucll the cheering crowd.'
 Editorially, the same paper, among other laudatory comments, says:
 "An honest and fearless man, n nero of the Spanish American war, hay ing won his spurs at san Juan Hill, an able postmaster, an unexccllcd In. dian agent over the richest Indian m. tion of all time, governor of the won derful Territory of Oklahoma, friend and comrade of President Roosevelt, Frank Frantz stands revealed in tine limclight of publicity, the most splcn. tinies of the grand new state of Ok. lahoma.
 "Thc most remarkable, the largest, the grandest convention in the an. nals of history in the twin Tcrritor- ics has given strong ticket headed by that matchlcss champion of "A Square Deal for Everybody" Frank Frantz, n platform upon which every citizen can stand and which voices the sentiments of the people,"
 We in Arizona are glad to hear of the deserved popularity of Frank Frantz in Oklahoma and wish him luck. | The joint statehood issue, as it presents 1 itself to the people of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, bears little, if any, relation to the same issue as between | Arizona and New Mexico; therefore, we can gladly extend out cordial message | of goodwill Co Governor Frantz with. out yielding n jot of our opposition 10 joint statehood here. If Arizona could | vote in Oklahoma, their ballots would | spell "Frantz" in big letters.

Superior Young Men Are Enthusiastic
Over Project.
A meeting will be held at Superior
to talk over the matter OF organizing
a naval reserve in Superior. 1t IS
practically certain that the Duluth re-
serve will get a new ship to replace
the Gopher this summer, and II such
is the case the navy department mas
stated that the Gopher will be trans
ferred to Superior if division is or
ganized there.
The young men of the city are en-
thusiasic over the idea and 1t seems
quite probable that division Will pc
formed. An attempt will be made TO
get an appropriation from the state,
but even if this is not done at this SEES
sion a division of the naval militia
undoubtedly will be organized, as 1t IS
figured that things can be run for q
while without any aid from the state,
though it will be rather hard shedding.
The Duluth reserves are especially
anxious that a division be formed III
Superior, and they are doing all IN
their power to promote the project.

BLOOD GETS SOUR.
Every Family Should Make Up This
Home Mixture and Take Now.

At this time Of year, says we'll
known authority, the Kidneys become
weak, clogged and inactive, failing to
filter out the poisons and acids, which
sour the blood, causing not only facial
and bodily eruptions, but the worst
forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and
Stomach troubles, Backache and pain
full, annoying Urinary Affections.
1t is worth anyone's time now to
get from some good prescription phar-
macy the following ingredients: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
your meals and at bedtime.
This simple homemade mixture will
force the Kidneys to normal, healthy
action, so they will filter and strain all
uric acid and poisonous waste matter
from the blood, and expel this in the
urine, at the same time restoring the
"full blood count''-that is, 95 per cent.
red blood corpuscles-which is abso-
lutely indispensable to perfect health.

OPPOSE NEW LAW ON DEER.
Think Measure Limiting Shooting
Will Increase Danger.

THE bill providing for the shorten
ing of the deer season from twenty to
fifteen days during the month of No
vember does not seem to meet with
the approval of the people of the
northern part of the state, where the
deer hunting is done While the law
may accomplish the purpose for which
it was intended, namely, the killing Off
of SO many deer and giving sport to
the sportsmen, it is figured by the peo-
pie of this section that it will increase
the danger in the woods during the
open season for the reason that it will
bring vast army Of hunters in the
woods all at one time, and thus en-
danger the lives of settlers and others
who may happen to be in the woods
during the open season.
The more conservative people Of the
northern part of the state are in favor
of abOlishing the game law entirely
as regards to deer and making it law
full to Kill game at any and all times.
They figure that if the deer are to be
protected they should be put in some
game preserve. Many valuable crops
of the farmers are destroyed by these
animals every year during the closed
season, and they are not even allowed
to protect their crops by killing Off
the deer.
The new law if passed will make
the open season for killing deer the
fifteen Gays during the middle OF No
vember, instead of the last twenty
days Of the month, as has been the
law heretofore. The accidents from
hunting deer have been numerous
enough during the past few years, but
it is figured that if the new law goes
into effect that it will have tendency
to increase the number. The bill also
provides the number of deer killed by
any person to be one instead of two.

Object Lessons in Fast Spins for the

A stringent automobile law, which
was ready for the consideration OF
the state assembly, has been held out
upon the urgent request Of James L,
Drought of Milwaukee His novel
method of lobbying against the bill
carried the day.
Mr.. Drought simply took two ma
chimes to Madison, as soon as he
heard of the bills which would limit
the speed of automobiles, provide for
numbers on the front as we'll as on
the rear of machines and lights over
both numbers at night.
He took embryo statesmen OF Mad1
son for long and speedy rides, Initial
ing them by degrees into the mys
teries Of fast driving.
Now Mr.. Drought, who is at the
head Of Wisconsin automobile assOcia'
tons. has secured a postponement OF
the bills. He will, however, endeavor
to have the legislature pass certain
measures which are advocated by the
uniform law committee of the Nation
al Automobile association. Some OF
them are already in force in Eastern
states.

Nicolai Polaski found his savings

the floor of his bedroom.
pwo of the five-dollar bills were bad

thinks that the treasury department
will redeem them.
Polaski first discovered his loss last
Saturday and came to Chippewa Fails
TO Get the authorities to assist him IN
finding his savings. AS he could give
no information which might be used to
formulate a clue, he was told to return
10 his farm and make another search.
This he did, and after carefully scrap
ing the ground under the kitchen floor
came across the rats nest made OF his
savings.
He states that he will hereafter have
more confidence in banks.

CHECK BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.
Law Proposed to Make Compulsory
Testing of Cattle Before Selling.

In-order to Protect the 10000 dairy
herds in Wisconsin against further
ravages of tuberculosis, a bill has just
been introduced into the legislature
providing for the testing of all cattle
before they are sold The existing
laws, which make necessary the in
spection of cattle before they are
brought into the state, protect dairy
men and breeders against infection
from outside the state. The proposed
law is designed to afford similar pro-
lection by preventing the spread or
the disease from one herd to anotnef
within the state through the buying
and selling of tuberculOus cattle. Inc
.provision of the law on this point is
as follows: mo cattle shall be sold
within this state which have not been
tested for tuberculosis within one
year previous to the sale"
Certified copies of the results OF the
test, which must be made by dlslnter-
ested persons. are to be filed with the
sanitary live stock board, and no
transfer is to be regarded as legal I'M
til the certificate has been approved
by the board and returned to the
seller. The person who sells cattle,
the law further provides, shall denver
to the purchaser an affidavit statlng
whether tuberculosis has been found
to exist in his herd within twelve
months prior to the sale; and, ii SO,
how many cattle were affected, ana
whether any of the cattle SOLD nave
been exposed to the tubercular am
mails or infected stables within three
months of the time when the cattle 10
be sold have been tested for tuDercu-
losis.
THE bill is q part of vigorous cam
paign which has been carried against
bovine tuberculosis during the past
two years by the University or WIS
con agricultural experiment station, I'D
cooperation with the Wisconsin live
stock sanitary board By means OF
demonstrations to hundreds of farmers
at the ten-day farmers course and Dy
full explanations of the tuberculln test
given to all the students of the coliege
of agriculture, DR.. H. L. Russell or the
department of bacteriology OF the uni
yersity, who is also a member OF the
live stock sanitary board, has explain
ed the dangers of permitting valuable
dairy herds to go INFESTED. Bulletins
have been issued from time to time by
the university agricultural experiment
station explaining the methods of test
ing, and showing the disastrous re-
suits of permitting the dread disease

ing of /, 200 young farmers all over the
state who have attended the college
of agriculture, have also taken up the
work this year, and over half OF theHi
have already tested their own herds
and are now doing a similar service
for their neighbors. Thus the cam
paign of education is being pushed all
over the state, with view to protecI

Pounds.

Pounds.
Elmore Sheppard, known throughout
the land as Big Emo the Coon" the
heaviest man in the United States and
only seventeen years of age, died at
Appleton of fatty degeneration OF the
heart. Emo weighed $40 pounds and
was gaining in weight at the rate OF a
pound a week, having gained nearly
forty pounds during the winter. The
body had to be removed from the
house before being placed in a rough
box and taken to an undertaking estab-
lishment, no door Or window IN the
building being large enough to permit
the box being taken in the house.
Two years ago Emo could no longer
ride in a passenger coach, as he was
unable to enter the doors.
He will probably be buried at the
expense of the city, although it is said
that his father is an extensive lana
owner at Pocahontas, w. Va.
A special rough box had to be made
to hold the body, and it is believed
derrick will have to be employed to
lower the body in the grace. 1t TOOK
nine strong men to carry the body
from the house to the undertaker's
wagon.

REPLIES TO THE CRITICISM.
President Van Hise Explains Univer-
sity Attitude on Resolution.

sity Attitude on Resolution.
That provision for more liberal en-
trance requirements was submitted to
the state university faculty by COM
mittee of that body which had been
considering the matter for three
months on Feb. II, four days before
the introduction of the Bancroft reso-
luton, recently discussed in the
assembly, was the interesting fact
brought before the joint committee on
education of the legislature. 1t was
shown that the report of this commit
tee submitted on Feb. II provided for
the entrance to the university without
any foreign language, gives credit Tor
a certain amount of manual training
and commercial studies, abandons the
group system of requirements and
thus gives greater elasticity, so that
the entrance requirements may be
met by any really good high school ID
the state. The faculty action, 1t was
pointed out, goes much further in lib
crafty than the faculty had adopted
these revised, liberal entrance re-
Auirements. In considering the sec
ond proposal of the resolution to the
faculty, that the university otter
course in which no other language
than English be required, President
Van Hise showed that this is contra
ry to the practice of practically all
