loaned him the silver watch that had

The watch had distinctly bad habits

State House Custodian Won't Enforce

Carl Voorhees,. custo dian of the state
house and state house grounds, says
that if the city council passes the
ordinance reducing the fine for riding
bicycles, motorcycles and automobiles
through the state house grounds, he
will no longer attempt to enforce the
ordinance.
''If the city will leave the penalty
at So, where it is" said Mr.. Voorhees,,

only a dollar, it isn't worth while to

REPUBLICANS CALLED IN
Kansas Executive Committee VIII
Meet Monday.

The executive committee of the Re
publican state central committee Will
meet in Topeka Monday afternoon and
evening, for the purpose of giving
Chairman Dolley the final reports of
the campaign.
Without having made any noise
about it. it developed today that Chair
man Dolley some days ago instructed
each member of the executive commit
tee to call a meeting of all the county
Republican chairman in his own con-
gressional district. At these district
meetings, the member of the executive
committee was acquainted with the
conditions in each county in his own
district All this information is now
in the possession of the members of
the executive committee. and they will
meet Monday to lay the whole situa-
tion before Chairman Dolley.
In this way" said Mr.. Dolley, Il
will get in personal touch with every
county in the state. 1 believe this is a
better plan than that followed by the
Democrats of trying to have a meeting
of the whole state committee in To-
peka"

RAID BILL BOARDS.
Blanche Boise Leads Crusade and
Paints Out Beer Signs.

The crusade against the whisky and
beer signs which have been posted
on the bill boards of the city has been
taken up by Blanche Boise and her
followers who operated on eight of
them last night during the drilling
rain. The name of the advertiser
and the words whisky and beer as
well as the faces of the men and
women used in the advertisement
were daubed with red paint.
The bill board at Twelfth street and
Kansas avenue was one of the first
visited and the party then proceeded
to the board located at Twelfth and
Jefferson streets and the beer signs
on this board were treated to liberal
coat of red paint. The night paint
ers then proceeded to the northeastern
portion of the city and the boards on
Fourth and Fifth streets tell of the
visits of the night artists. There are
two boards on East Fourth street; two
on West Fourth street and two more
on East Fifth street which were treat

game with the University of Pennsyl-
vania was the most important contest
on the Indians long schedule. They
were in prime condition and expected
to win. The Pennsylvania eleven went
into the game minus it's star quarter
back and with Captain Hollenback in
a battered condition. Otherwise the
team was in excellent physical con-
dition. The weather conditions were
good. Over 10000 persons witnessed
the game. Carlisle won the toss and
selected to defend the east goal, giving
Pennsylvania the kick off.
The Quakers kicked off at 2:35 and
the Indians failing to gain, kicked to
Pennsylvania's rs yard line.
The ball was lost to each side sew
eral times and finally Pennsylvania
got the leather on the Indians 80 yard
line. Miller fumbled a forward pass
kicked to midfield.
Pennsylvania kicked back and the
Indians started in to rip up the Quaker
line. A double pass with a forward
pass and several line plays gave them
the ball in midfield, where they lost
it on a trick on side kick.

STUDY OF MINE cALAMITES,

At time when the subject is OF
peculiar importance the United States
Geological Survey has issued bulle-
tin, long in preparation. on Goal
Mine Accidents; Their Cause and
Prevention 1t is shown by the
facts furnished that the ratio of min
ing fatalities is much larger in the
United States than in other countries.
In II years the number OF miners
killed in the United States has been
22.S40. The list OF killed was 1857 in
the year 1891 and 206l in 1906. This
years total will be much larger, three
coal mining catastrophes having oc-
Cured in the present month. In the
United States the mining fatalities
last year were $40 per 1000 employ
ed; in Great Britain, l.2o; Russia,
l.S0; Belgium, "a. and France, "a.
This is an alarming disparity, and,
the ratio, which increases
with us, has declined abroad during
the last 10 years.
The experts Of the Geological Sur
vey say that the natural conditions III
the United States for extracting coal
are the best found anywhere, but the
regulations are far less stringent.
Many miners in this country speak
only foreign language and are in
clined to be reckless in trying to in
crease production. In British mines,
where dangerous gas is found, all ex-
plosives are in charge OF Shot FIR
err who works only when the miners
have left for the day. The expert
opinion, and it was written before the
latest calamitous warnings, is that ex-
plosives in this country are not han
died with sufficient care in the pres
ence OF gas or dust, or their combina-
ton. Deadly risks are taken in these
particulars and in the proper support
Of coal roofs, the fall Of which causes
many fatalities. Dynamite and cleo
tricity are used freely in American
mines in the presence of gas and ex-'
plosive dust. The hundreds OF lives
Just sacrificed are weighty admoni-
ton to legislatures, as well as to all
engaged in mining.

Last Years Sales Of Hyomei, the
Guaranteed Cure for Catarrh,
Larger Than Ever.

The merits OF Hyomei the treatment
that cures ostarrh without stomach dos
ing its popularity and growth, are
unique in the annals Of medicine. So
pronounced is the relief and cure fol
lowing the use Of this treatment that
it has been publicly recommended BY
leading druggists and physicians in
nearly every State and town in the
country, with the result that last years
sales were larger than ever
The fact that Hyomei Is 80 simple and
complete, and that it cures by breathing
medicated air and not taking drugs into
the stomach. no doubt has helped to
create this widespread and rapidly in
creasing army OF friends.
The way in which it has been sold by
7. F. Laurin has undoubtedly aided
greatly its introduction in Astoria. He
is such firm believer in the power of
Hyomei to cure all catarrhal troubles.
that he urges people to use 1t with the
understanding that the cost viii be re.
funded to anyone who is NOT benefited
by the treatment. You do not risk a
cent in testing tho healing virtues OF
Hyomei. for T. A. Iauin takes all the
chances of its giving satisfaction and
