An Announcement.

take this method of announc- ing to the citizens of Conway that I am a candidate for reelection as mayor of Conway, subject to the action of the Democratic city prl- mary on Feb. 4, 1908.
 At the expiration Of my present term l will have served ln this office for a period of two years and nine months. During this time l have doubtless made some mls- takes, but I believe that the ex- perience I have gained i'll the othce will be valuable to me should l be elected to fill it again. Of my ot- hcial actions ill the past, however, I can truthfully say this: that ln every vote I have cast in the city council, in every case that has been brought before me as mag istrate and in every other matter upon which I have been called ln an official way to decide, l have earnestly endeavored to act tor the best interest of the people ot Con- way, as I saw it. My first duty being to provide a living for my family, have not been able to devote as much time as desired to the duties of the office ot mayor, yet, with the assistance Of the mem- bers of the council and other off cials, l have tried to see that the interests of the city were not allow ed to suffer because of this tact.
 As to my policy for the future, should I again be chosen as mayor, am in favor of an enforcement oi our ordinances and a progressive ness upon the part of the city otfl' cers such as our growing little city demands and should have. The possibility of the council extending the levy of a five mill tax for the city light plant beyond the ten-year term which ends next year, has been suggested to me, and 1 desire to state that my vote and influence will be against this proposition, as I believe the taxes to be collected this year and next, together with the profits of the plant, will be ample to retire the existing lndebt- edness. I believe that the city should very soon take some steps to provide a system of waterwork' and sewerage, either under the improvement district system or by granting a franchise to local cor poration. I believe that, in a con servative manner, and without i'm posing undue hardship upon any property owner, more sidewalk: and street crossings should be laio and similar improvements made.
 Thanking the people of Conway for their support in the past, ane resting my claims with them, an
 Respectfully,
 FRANK E. ROBINS.

DoNAGHEY'S WONDERFUL RACE.

The wonderful strength develop ed by George w. Donaghey has far exceeded even the expectations of those who predicted from the be- ginning that he would be the sue cessful candidate for governor. So great has this strength grown in the past few weeks, that his nomination is now practically con ceded and his most conservative supporters are predicting that it will be landslide for Donaghey.
 Hiremon, who started out as a strong candidate, has lost ground steadily until it would require a political upheaval to place him again in the running. Kirby, with but little strength in the be ginning, has gained nothing. Mo Farlane, of course, has never beer seriously regarded as a factor 1T the race. A letter to this paper from a Greenwood reader says that McFarlane will not carry his owr township.
 MT. Donaghey's assured success is very gratifying to the people O his home county, who realize that the solid and unanimous supporr given him here has done much tc win votes for him in other counties

 MARKS OF PROGRESS.
 The year just past has shown marked increase in interest Ill every department of school work. The standard of requirements tor teachers has been raised, the sal aries have been increased, better houses have been built, directors have organized, the length ot the school term has been extend ed, most of the examiners have been active in institute and as sociational work. The day ot better things is dawning.

Then Abbie Rice consented. To-
gethcr they went to pawnshop and
purchased pistol. They had planned
first to do the deed in the Office of the
doctor, but he was afraid that she
would not be able to get away, Sc they
went to the apartment where he had
installed her. He loaded the pistol,
cooked it, but in his eagerness drew
the hammer SO far back that he broke
the spring. There was no other way
of dying at hand The killing had to
be postponed.
For a. week after that first attempt
at suicide DR.. Rustin and Abbie Rice
lived life of widest dissipation.
They had gone to Council Bluffs and
there had the pistol fixed, but the
woman hoped that he had abandoned
his plan of death. But at the end of
the week he was back at his old plan.
She had given her consent, 80 there
was no drawing back. Together, late
at night, they went to his office. He

tetanus germs forced itself into his
mind. But his two attempts had
failed-and still there was the clause
in his insurance policy forbidding sui
eide. He must die by the hand of
some one else. Into the half-crazed
mind of the physician there slipped as
shrewd and diabolical an idea as any
one had ever known.
DO you love me?" he asked Abbie
Rice.
you know do" she responded.
Then If you love me, kill me-"
calmly suggested the physician.
The woman shrank back in horror.
Il will live for you, but l will not
kill YOU" she told him.
IF you love me as you say, kill
yourself afterward. / will arrange
that, but you must not kill yourself
SO as to make any scandal l want
to spare my wife as much of that as
possible"
The woman pleaded with him, but
he was obdurate. He was drinking
heavily and taking drugs, too, SO he
was not responsible for what he did.
I'm going to kill myself" he de-
clared bluntly, "but have to have
some one to do it. Now 1t is you or
some one else"

PEAS IN THE POD.
Old Way Of Smelling Them 10 Alto
gether Unnecessary.

At last the season of the succulent
green pea need not be regarded with
horror by the cook. No more need
she stay out for hours and hours on
the porch Smelling them in endless
numbers, while the rest OF the dinner
waits until it Is almost too late to
complete 1t for that day. No more
need mother stay home from picnics
and other parties because the peas
must be prepared for lunch or dinner.
All that is necessary is to throw
them. pods and all, into the pot Cook
them the usual length OF time. When
they are done. the pods will break and
rise to the surface. while the peas may
be found at the bottom OF the Kettle.
What change this will make in the
time It requires to cook q meal. What
q comfort 1t will be to feel that no
more afternoons need be spent In
Smelling peas, and what Joy 1t Is to
know that peas when cooked this way
are better than when hours are spent
upon their preparation.

In the case" in the Rustin murder mys-
terry, said that DR.. Rustin had trained
her up to the point of killing him, first
famfliarizing her with hospital scenes
and then by working on the hero wor-
ship and sympathy in her nature had
gradually worked toward the point
where she could fire the shot which
would kill him. Books Of fiction in
which one man died for another, and
books in which great sacrifices were
made for friendships sake we're read
by DR.. Rustin to Mrs. Rice and com.
mented upon by him until the woman
saw the killing of Rustin by herself in
a kind Of halo.
For weeks and weeks DIR. Rustin
trained me to murder him." said Mrs.
Rice. First. he trained me to the sight
of bloodshed. He used to take me
around with him when he performed
operations. On these trips l dressed

Gradually ! got used to seeing the OPP
erations, and there was no more nau-
sea on my part. In time an operation
did not affect me in the least.
"NobIeness and Self Sacrifice"
After l became well advanced in
that portion of his plan, DR.. Rustin be-
gan talking to me about the nobleness
OF self sacrifice. Books in which one
friend sacrificed his life for another
were. read to me by the doctor, and
their beauties pointed out to me. "A
Tale OF Two Cities" was one of his
favorites, and he read that to me a
number Of times. The character of

A mansion on the fashionable street
In Omaha was ablaze with lights. The

leaving. Handsomely dressed women
were being assisted up the steps. The
sound of the music and the gay con-

other.
Bet your life," agreed his friend,
but I'm glad to see it. DOC Rustin's
fine fellow. He'll make good hus-
band for any girl That fellow is a
conner all right. He is good fellow,
you bet"
And so he was. Almost anybody in
Omaha asked casually that night
would have told the questioner that
DR.. Frederick T. Rustin, ex-Yale ath-
lete, good fellow and one of the rising
young surgeons in the west, was
man of whom Omaha was proud. And
they were glad to see him marry a
leading society girl. 1t insured him a
fine practice, and if he would only
stick to business in a few years he
would be rich.
A few years after that night DIR.
Rustin. established with his wife in a
little home Of their own, had started
