Republican Central Committee Meets.

The republican county central COM
mittee met Saturday afternoon, JAN
25, as per call, with majority of the
members present in person or by
proxy. Several vacancies were filled
and s. E. Wilson was elected chairman
in place of S. c. Lummis, who has re-
moved.
The question of having the central
committee. select the delegates to the
state convention, to select delegates to
the national convention, as the new
primary law provides for, or Of select
ing them by holding the regular pri.
mary election, was discussed pro and
con. There was diversity of opinion,
some contending that the new primary
law should by all means be used and
the delegates chosen by direct vote
of the people, while others thought the
expense of a regular primary was too
great. It was finally decided to adjourn
the central committee meeting to Sat-
urday, February Sth, when the matter
will be decided.
Shall the central committee select
the delegates to the state conventions
or shall they be elected by vote of
the people by primary election?
CALL FOR COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE
Members of the republican county
central committee, of Fall River county
S. Oak, are hereby called to meet at
the court house in Hot Springs, on
Saturday, February s, 1908, at o'clock
p. m. for the purpose of deciding
whether the committee shall select the
delegates to represent Fall River
county at the republican state con.
vention which is to select delegates to
the national republican convention {,
or whether the selection of such
delegates be made by holding the reg
ular prmaries-by direct vote of the
republican electors-under the new
primary law. This primary election
may be suspended in only one way. ac-
cording to the last clause of section 81,
viz:
"Whenever two. thirds of the mem
bers of the county central committees
of the several political parties of any
county at a regularly called meeting
shall decide that there is not sufficient
contest over the selection of delegates
from such county to the state con.
vention called to elect delegates to the
national conventions to justify the eX-
pense of holding county convention,
such county central committees shall
have the power to name the delegates
from said county and the chail man
and secretary of the proper committee
should sign the delegate credentials" F"
Thus it is very important that a full!
representation be had of the committee
men Of each precinct.
Such other business as may properly
come before said meeting will also be
considered.
S. E. WILSON, Chairman.
j. A. STANLEY, Secretary

A PREMlUn

The ruling Of the Postofice Depart
ment requiring newspapers to con-
duct their subscription accounts
upon practically a cash basis forces
the STAR as we'll as all newspapers
to comply. We desire to ifget the
delinquents to pay up quickly and
as an inducement have made ar
rangements whereby we can offer
the Northwestern Agriculturalist as
a premium free to all who pay in
advance for the Star for a year.
This will be only for limited num-
ber and a limited time It must be
done at once. You get the finest
agricultural paper published twice
amonth at Minneapolis for nothing.
Subscribers are required by the post
al laws to be cut off of the list any.
way if they become delinquent for a
year. and now why not acquire the
cash in advance habit and get this
benefit We will apply this to: all
cash in advance subscriptions since
Jan l, 1908, but subscribers can not
get this benefit together WITH other
reduced publications they all
cost us extra money.

MIGHT TALK LIMITATION

Berlin, Aug 2i.--The meeting to- day between David Lloyd George, chancellor of the British exchequer, and pr Bethmann- Holweg. imperial minister of the interior, as far as Is known, passed off without reference being made to the question of naval armaments. The two ministers, how ever, conferred privately for an hour and half and nothing has been made public concerning what was discussed
 A well Informed parsonage told fht Associated Press this evening that tllf conference between MT Lloyd- George and Dr. BethmannH Hollweg was con fined entirely :o old ago insurance. X fellow traveller of Mir. Lloyd George said that the chancellor of the cN- cheluer had no intention of broa ,h- ing the subject of the armaments f Great Britain and Germany but thl. should the ministers here mention the matter he would be delighted with [ purei! Informal exchange of views on the subject.
 London, Aug. 22.-The Daily Mall thls morning declares that no agree ment has been arrived at hy Great Britain and Germany on the question of naval armament.

The Hague, Aug 2l, Hollands ac- tion against Venezuela will depend largely upon the reports M De Reus, former Dutch minister to Venezuela, who recently was expelled by President Castro, makes to his government, Ills arrival here Is eagerly eXpt cted Mon day NJ. Van swnder, minister of for eign affairs, will consult with M De Reus before the government takes fur thur steps.
 The press and public of the Nether- lands take the Venezuelan affair most calmly Naval officers are most inter ested in 1t, and express pleasure at the possibility of seeing active service, The government, however, thinks there Is yet chance that the difficulty may he patched up by diplomacy.
 "A blockade of the Venezuelan coast, if 1t Is undertaken will not be be- gun for some time because the adoption of punitive measures will depend upon the tenor of President Castro's reply to Hollands representations.
 Paris. Aug 2l.-Although France Is watching with interest the develop ments of the Holland nd-venezuelan situ- alton on account of her own troubles with the south American republic, it can bc said authortatively that she does not Intend to mix in any way in the present controversy. If the United States, as the recognized corrcctor of Venezuela, has transferred the power of punishment to Holland, Holland is quite capable of acting and France will be a sympathetic spectator.
 There Is some conviction here in well-iuformed circles that it woul Q unwise for Holland to land troops m Venezuela as this action wou,' iri- mediately he the signal for patriotism aud result in thc uniting of the C,,s. troitcs and those who oppose Ca; 70 tho dcfcn C the country. is believed an effective blockade wo.l,, ba ncre potent and successful.

Much Comment on Fact That Euro pcan Ships Have Vacated Pn. ciilc--Australla's Hope
 for Fleet

London, Aug, 2a-The Daily Tele- graph in an editorial this morning di- latng on the vast changes In the politics of the Pacific portended by the almost inconceiva.bly magnificent re- ception Australia has accorded not to a British but an American fleet SAYS:
 Tt means and Is welcomed by the Australians as meaning that the United states Is determined to secure their po- eition in tho Pacific, and the demon- stration they are giving of the means they Intend to employ to keep their po- stilon Is extraordinarily complete What the people at home have scarcely yet realized is that Europe practically has vacated the Pacific. Not a single battleship belonging to European power Is to be found in any corner of that great ocean. while America has three great squalrons there. The mas tery of the Pacific was Brltams only twenty years ago. Hhe rise of Japan on the one hand and the naval ronals- sancc of the United States on the oth- or has profoundly changed conditions  and rcvolutionized AustralIas attitude towards problems for national defense" ."
 The Daily Telegraph finds Austra. Has ambition to have It's own navy is but a natural one but tt thinks fine American demonstration will show her how many millions the realization of such a dream will require, ana con.
 
 vince her that her naval intoees.s gan be best secured by contributions tp tho British navy.
 In conclusion the Daily Telegraph thinks that the principle if white Australia washed by white pacnc, held passionately by the Aust'alla ls. conceals serious dangers but |; aoes not doubt that the thorny tues 'ua of Asa,ic immigration can be s.t.l,d on perfectly honorable termS

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by Rcal applications, as they cannot
reachN the diseased portion OF the ear.
There Us only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing OF the E.ustachian Tube. When
this tube is inQamed you have rum
bling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed con-
dition Of the mucous surfaces.
