The following from the Peoples
Press probably voices the sentiment
of every editor in the land: When
a man praises an editor and neglects
to subscribe he is either forgetful,
a fatterer, a miser or insincere. We
don't like absent tminded people,
flat,erers, misers, or insincere folk.

ON -HA, Neb., May 11.-A special
dispatch to the World-Herald from
Lead, S. D.. says:
Diligent inquiry fails to locate any
one who knew Charles II. Meyer in
1886. at the time it is alleged that he
was in the Joliet penitentiary. The man
who was postmaster at Rockford, in
1886, where Meyer asserts he was en-
ployed for a mining company at that
time. is dead and the old time hotel
keeper of that mining camp says he
never knew that Meyer was resident
of that vicinity at any time
No one identified with the manage
ment of the Annie Creek Gold Mining
company is now resident of this sec
ton. The company has been long out
of existence and the records have been
destroyed.
The earliest history obtainable of
Meyers residence in the Black Hills
was in 1890, and it is asserted that he
was one of the leaders in the Annie
Creek strike of 1893, when the English
mining company closed up it's business
and. left the country of the labor
troubles.

No Third Term.


President Roosevelt will not be q
candidate for third term. All doubt
on this point has been dispelled by the
authoritative statement from the
White House that Mr.. Roosevelt still
adheres to the declaration of renun-
citation made on the night of the cleo.
ton, three years ago.
The President has been awaiting
the call for the republican national
convention to afford the proper
opportunity for making his position
clear and unmistakable, thus leaving
the field clear for other declared OF
receptive candidates. The Presi
dents statement follows:
On the night after election made the fol
lowing announcement:
~ am deeply sensible of the honor done me
by the American people in thus expressing
their confidence in what have done and have
tried to do. / appreciate to the full the
solemn responsibility this confidence imposes
upon me, and shall do all that in my power
lies not to forfeit it.
son the fourth Of March next shall have
served three and q half years. and this three
and q half years constitute my first term.

to two terms regards the substance and not

ton"

The Christmas Season.

Ac SnEASthnoS SchSOus
So universally is Christmas observed
nowadays that there is some danger
Of its religious significance being
forgotten, perhaps, but overlooked.
Yet it was not 80 very long ago that
the religious world itself was divided
in it's opinion as how properly to OBJ
serve the anniversary of the birth OF
the founder of Christianity. Not so
very long ago its observance as q
church east-day was confined to the
Roman Catholic and Protestant Epis-
copal churches, other Christian de-
nominations being entirely out OF
sympathy with, or participation in
such observance.
Happily this period, SO hard for us
of to-day to comprehend, is passed; all
Christendom not only unites in the
observance of the day, but also makes
such elaborate preparations for it that
Christmas day is really the climax OF
of the Christmas season.
1t is this season that is now upon us.
The desire to give is in the air. Bear
ing in mind that the virtue of giving
lies in the motive which prompts it,
the amount of giving need be limited
only by the extent of ones pocket
book.

senator Hale,s Great influence

ssThe Senate has already put Senator
Hale into the harness., ~ SAYS Washington
correspondent, ssby insisting that he shall
serve as chairman of the committee on
committees. 1t is the third time be has
taken charge OF the task OF recognizing
the committees of that body, which is an
unprecedented honor. He took the chair
mauship at the beginning OF the 5Sth
Congress, reluctantly, yet willingly, real
king that it was his duty to take his turn
at the big job.
ssThe chairman has to do for the Senate
what the Speaker does for the House in
selecting its committees, although the
Senate chairman is aided by a committee
of his colleagues. When the seth Con-
gress came around. however, and the re-
publicans of the Senate wanted him to
take the same work again, be demurred,
baving in the end, none the less, to accept.
"a week ago when the talk about reor-
ganizing committees began and Mr.. Hale
was asked to go to the front again, he said
he would not do it. Some other man, like
Senator Aldrich or Senator Lodge, must
do the work this time, for it means week
of careful consideration of the claims and
aspirations Of senators to committee seats,
and senator's cannot be handled as roughly
and as summarily as Speaker may handle
members of the House.
"However, every senator deferred to Mr..
Hale. He had done the work so satisfac-
torily twice that he must do it again.
There was no senator with quite his di-
plomacy and tact, and the upshot was
what everyone knew it would be, that MI
Hale finally took the helm again.
Accordingly in the private cfHce OF his
committee-room and also at his residence
in the evenings he is pegging away at the
task which will be disposed OF now in a
few days and the committee lists for the
Senate for the next two years will soon be
handed in to the republican caucus on
typewriter sheets, given the 0. K. OF
the republican caucus and subsequently
adopted by the Senate and then entered in
the official congressional directory. Then
the Senate will be fully organized for
business for two years more.
Zone thing Senator Hale will accomplish
by the aid of his committee colleagues is
the selection of a strong and capable sena-
tor in middle life to bear some of the bur-
dens Of the great appropriations commit
tee. Since the illness OF Senator Allison,
the chairman, big share of the work has
fallen upon Senator Hale, who has been

man yet in middle life, is to be made q

Bad Breath From Indigestion Can

Bad Breath From Indigestion Can
not be Overcome With Perfumes.
All of us suffer from bad breath
sometimes our own, but oftener that
of our friends.
Nine-tenths of this bad breath
comes from some stomach trouble,
and cannot be overcome by breath
perfumes or any other palliative
measures.
If you occasionally have a bad
breath; if there is heartburn, fatu-
lence and acid gulpings Of undigested
food; if the stomach burns or smarts;
il there is sleeplessness, nervousness,
headaches or any other of the many
symptoms Of indigestion, use Mi-o-na
stomach tablets and get well.
Mi ma is not mere digestive nor
a physic, but a tonic remedy that
strengthens the muscles of the stom-
ach and bowels SO that the flow of
gastric juices is increased and the
food is digested naturally and does
not stay in the stomach to ferment
and poison the breath.
