Wigs, flies, gasoline lights and other
appliances which would entitle it to
De known as stage.
AT any rate here is where the exer-
clses OF the day are held followed by a
play which commences just as soon as
1t IS dark enough for the gasoline lamp
to become effective. On this stand dur
ing the day drills are given, speeches
made, songs sung and from it's recesses
below forth the music of the band COM
posed of farmers boys arrayed in their
sunday clothes in lieu of brass buttoned
t1nsel bedecked uniforms.
StahPs picnic is sort of mecca to
which the aspiring politicians make an
annual pilgrimage and much medicine
is made by the would be office holder
and his farmer friends seated well back
from the crowd on some rotten stump or
fallen tree.
Yesterday was no exception to the
rule and at least two booms for political
preferment were launched from among
the echoes awakened by the notes of the
band and the shrill whistle of the mer-
Playground engine. Capt Clad
Hamilton who is perfectly willing to
serve as state senator to succeed J. 3.
Belts, confided this to some of his
friends at the picnic yesterday, though
no PuOlic announcement OF the Iact was
made.
1t was whispered about that H. Ward
Page who was in the aggregation would
like to succeed r. F. Hayden as pro-
bate judge, and he modestly admitted
that such is his aspiration. J. F. Eby and
j. A. Ramsey, who will be candidates
for county superintendent to succeed
John r. Carter, were on hand with
pleasant smiles as was County Clerk
Samuel Zimmerman who hopes that the
people will see to 1t that he is elected
as his own successor for second term.
The program which commenced at 10
o'clock was interrupted for a few NOM
ents shortly after the noon hour by a
shower which lasted just long enough
to take the starch out of the white
shirt waists and skirts. Lunch stands |
were scattered about the grounds for |
the benefit of those who did not bring |
baskets of food and they did rushing |
business from noon until night.

A GAMBLER FINED $3.50.
The AssaiIant of Editor Harrison of
Garden City Must "DO Tfme.''

Garden City, Kan, June 21.-'Big
Bill McArter, who brutaIly assaulted
George B. Harrison. editor of the Ev-
ening Telegram on the 8th of the pres
ternoon by Judge w. H. Thompson of
the district court. The case was tried
before jury which had but little trou-
BILE in arriving at a verdict of guilty
the assault was admitted.
There has been considerable gamb-
ling going on in the city for some
time and there have been a number
of men hanging about whose sole oc-
workers in the best fields into gamb
ling games where they are robbed of
their earnings. An attempt has been
made to break up this gang from time
to time but without success.
Several weeks ago a young man of
good standing in the community sat
in one of these games and lost all of
his money and then went out and rails
ed money on a team of horses that did
not belong to him. This he lost, in all
about 5000. He then took a dose OF
poison intending to commit suicide but
was saved by the fact that he took an
overdose and the prompt arrival of a
doctor.
In handling the case for his paper
Mr.. Harrison referred to the gambling
which has been going on about the city
and mentioned several of the parties
who have been engaged in the practice.
McArter was one of the parties re-
ferred to and the assault followed.
McArter has been in Jail since the
assault, being unable to give bond and
the presumption is that he will be
to lay out the time in the
Jail
In the meantime there has been an
exodus of gamblers and others are TAX
ing an enforced vacation. The city Of
ficials have decided to break up the
gang which has existed in the city for
years, many of them being boys who
have been raised here, and the action

The Primitive Violin.

IN its primitive form the violin was
a direct development of the Tyre and
monochord-the strings from the for
mer and the elongated box, with Its
sound holes, finger board and movable
bridge, from the latter. The history
of the violin began with the invention
of the bow some time before the thlr'
teenth century, when the voile, or vielle'
used by the troubadours, made Its ap-
pearance. This instrument underwent
many changes until the middle OF the
sixteenth century, when the true violin
model appeared. The primitive violin
had little or no contour. 1t was not
until the thirteenth century that the
vielle was scooped out at the waist.
The corner blocks were added In the
fifteenth century and are attributed
to Germany. For nearly a century
the sound holes were shifted all over
the instrument before they were cut
in their proper place and the bridge
fixed between them.-Circle Magazine.

non,t whi.k Your Hat.

Never use q whisk broom to clean a
hat either stiff or soft, particularly
a soft hat, as It gradually removes the
fine surface originally on the hat. The
worst effect, however, Is the wearing
away of the band and binding by such
rough usage. The effect Is more
quickly shown on the best grades OF
bands and binding. A fine hair brush,
one of curved shape, made especially
to use under the curl Of the hat, Is
good. Best Of all, however, Is a thick
piece of woolen cloth. Such pieces are
now made in the form Of pads, with
a strap across the back, SO that they
can be held securely in the hand

Two of a Kind.

A revival meeting was In progress
and Sister Jones was called upon for
testimony. Being meek and humble,
she said: "T do not feel as though
should stand here and give testimony.
I have been transgressor for good
many years and have only recently
seen the light believe that my place
is In a dark corner, behind the door"
Brother Smith was next called upon
for his testimony and, following the
example set by Sister Jones, said: Il,
too, have been a sinner for more than
forty years, and do not think 1t would
be fitting for me to stand before this
assembly as model. think my place
is behind the door, in a dark corner,
with Sister Jones'" And he wondered
why the meeting was convulsed with
the laughter Of those who came to
pray.

WHAT is WRONG?
Many People in Pendleton Are Ask
ing That Question of Late.

luS lIuL QueStlOn OI bdut.
Within the last few weeks, more
people than usual have complained of
frequent sneezing fits, tickling in the
throat, stoppage in the nose, spasms
of coughing, rising of mucous drop
pings in the throat and offensive
breath, and have asked themselves
what is the matter.
The trouble is that they are af-
fected with catarrh and unless i'm
mediate steps are taken to remedy
their condition, the disease will in
crease and spread through the deli
cate mucous membrane that lines
the air passages, and a chronic and
serious stage Of the disease will re-
suit.
At the first symptoms of catarrh,
Hyomei should be used. There is no
other treatment like II or just as
good; none that can take its place
and cure so surely, so quickly and at
so little cost. 1t is a scientific medi-
Gated air treatment that does not
drug or derange the stomach, but is
breathed In, directly destroying all
disease germs that may lurk in the
nose, throat and lungs and soothing
and healing the irritated mucous
membrane.
Tallman G. Co., the local agents for
Hyomei, have so much confidence in
the merits Of the remedy that they
offer It on trial to any catarrhal suf-
fer with the agreement to refund the
purchase price Of 81 for the complete
outfit to anyone who is not satisfied
with the results. You certainly can
afford to test Hyomei with an offer
like this Get 1t now and be cured of
catarrh.

SKELETON GLUE TO MURDER.
Jefferson County Thinks II Has Evi
dence Of Foul Play.

Morrison, Colo.-The discovery OF O
human skeleton in q secluded spot on
Black mountain, seven miles above
Morrison, has furnished mystery for
the Jefferson county officials to un-
ravel. There are Indications which
point to either murder or suicide, but
from present indications II is probable
that the matter may never be cleared.
E. H. Ballinger, a ranchman. living
five miles south of Morrison, found the
bones while on hunting expedition
with a party of friends. He returned
to town this morning and Immediately
notified the coroner.
According to Ballinger the head was
missing. He did not make a careful
examination of the skeleton, but ap-
pearances indicated that 1t had been
severed with some sharp instrument.
A few remnants Of clothing and an old
rife were found near the remains.
The skeleton was near the aban-
doned Martin sawmill, which is located
in lonely timber country far from
habitation. The hunter describes the
skeleton as that of a man, probably six
feet tall, robust Of stature, and appar-
emily young. He says the man has
probably been dead for several months.
The coroner will go after the skele-
ton tomorrow and an investigation will
probably be instituted at once. No one
has been reported missing in this sec
ton for several months.

by nearly one new book a year. Among
the list may be remembered LENA
