Applications of liquid veneer makes the
original gloss brighter and smoother it instantly

niture polish and is greatly troubled to see the
dull, smoky, blush discoloration that frequently
appears on it, little liquid veneer applied with
piece of cheese cloth will entirely remove
this discoloration and makes it look like new.
Chandeliers and gas fixtures are originally
buffed or polished and afterwards lacquered.
and in time become dull. a little liquid veneer
applied will make them bright. Try free bot

at her home here yesterday OF paraly-

gree at Rock Island, H., in 1855.
The foregoing Associated Press dis
patch received by The Argus this af-

was not instituted by the Daughters OF
Rebekah till about a quarter of a cea-
fury ago, and there have been many
women honored by receiving the de-
gree. a IS

Mrs. Hanna was a former resident ii
this city. She was a native of Newark.
Ohio, where she was reared. She lived
in this city in the SOS with her first
husband whose name was Fidlar. Lit
ter she married the late p. X. Hanna
and went to live on farm at Cleve-
land Henry county The family re-
moved to Kansas years ago.

EX-SENATOR PATTERSON AND
PROPRIETOR OF DENVER
POST CLASH--FORMER GETS
OUT WARRANT.

Denver, Colo, Dec. 26.-A warrant
was sworn out tonight for the arrest
Of Fred G. Ponfils, one of the pro-
prietors of the Denver Post. The
warrant was sworn to by former
United States Senator Thomas NJ.
Patterson as result of an encounter
between the two men today during
which Patterson was knocked down
and painfully injured The en-
counter was the elimination of a
newspaper fight which had been going
on for some years between the pro-
prietors of the Post and Senator Pat
terson. who is the principal stock
holder of the News-Times Publishing
company
Patterson claims that Bonfils at
tackled him unaware, knocked him
down, kicked him, and threatened to
kill him.
Bonfils says the trouble arose over
the threat of Patterson to run him
out of business or put him i'm the
penitentiary; that the fight followed
a reiteration and declaration, and
while admitting knocking the senator
down claims justification on account
of Patterson's published and spoken
language. Patterson is 20, Bonfils A.
