From Washington dispatches we
draw tue conclusion that one of the
principal reasons which caused a
number of the house members to
"insurge" against Speaker Cannon
was the fact that he handed none of

to perform the duties of such re-

Now comes the startling report that
an old sea captain and an insurance
agent we're employed by DR.. Cook to
fabricate the astronomical, topo-

report that the sea dog and the
insurance chap are telling stories

Jealous press agent is little too
previous. For instance, the Western
Publisher of December s, contains a
two-column address which was
supposed to have been delivered by
Gov. Eberhart at the Sank Center
editorial meeting on the 3rd inst,
when, as a matter of fact the governor
was not within a hundred miles of
Sank Center on that evening. The
laughable thing about it is that the
governor in his opening remarks tells
how he thought it would be impossible
for him to be with them that evening,
out thanks to the courtesy of the
chicago committee and the railroad
company he was enabled to be present
in the spirit but absent in
the flesh, we presume. The address
was commonplace effort, hardly
what one would expect from the pen of
Ralph Wheelock or Frank Stacy, but
it would probably have sounded
better from the governors lips than
it reads in cold print.

He's A Thief.

Some people seem to think that
If they find goods or money, all
they have to do is to keep the
same until some one advestises
for it, and if no one advertis-
es they convert the goods or
money to their own use. This is
not the law, and those who do
not comply with the law NAV
subject themselves to prosecu-
ton for larceny. Those who
ind money or goods have a duty
to perform and the law provides
that they must perform this duty
promptly. We have known of
many instances where people
would hold goods from the right
tul owner in order to get a small
reward for bsing honest (?) in
coming forward when a reward
was attached to the notice.

An Indigestion

Many people who are otherwis
healthy suffer from Indigestion, or
dyspepsia. When you consider that
the stomach and allied digestive or
gans are the most important organs
of the body, it would seem that dis
order there is to be taken very SER
iously
Dyspeptics cannot eat the things they
nke; food sours in the stomach; then
chronic constipation begins, or, as is often
the case, you have been constipated all
along,. and the stools are forced and
irregular.
But there is no use letting Indigestion
go until it becomes chronic and under
mines your health. 1t is good advice to
suggest to you that you go to your drug

head of sheep be permitted to Craze

amount of destruction of young tree
growth caused by grazing sheep, no
grazing permits would this year be is
