lima automobile endurance run, which
took place Thursday. resulted in five
cars finishing with perfect scores. They
are a Franklin, driven by Frank Hage-
man; Overland, driven by Ed Don
myer; Franklin, driven by George Gill
man. Franklin. driven by George NJ.
Hull, and a Maxwell, driven by Leon
Rash. The judges have not yet de-
cided who will receive the two loving
cups, the prizes.
The run is the first ever given by
the Salina club. 1t covered 100 miles
in figure eight The list of penalties
was very severe on account of the
short distance of the run. A Buick,
driven by Edgar Snavely. burst a tire
going at a high rate of speed, just
east of New Cambria, swerving the car
into the ditch, spilling its four occu-
pants out. Save a few bruises, no one
was hurt.

New York, Oct. 1.-The Democratic
convention for the city of New York
nominated the following ticket:
For nayor-Justice William J. Gay
nor, of Brooklyn.
For comptroller-Robert NJ. Moore, OF
Manhattan.
For president of the board of alder
men-John F. Calvin, of Manhattan.
The nomination of Gaynor was made
with great demonstration of enthusi-
asm and by a unanimous vote.
Tammany had its own way at the
convention which initiates the Demo-

years. OF the 1879 delegates repre-
scented Tammany had control to all in
tents and purposes-of almost the en-
tire represe ntation of the boroughs of
Manhattan and Bronx, smustering 918
votes. The Tammany cohorts were SO
strong that they OVERRIDE with ease

Senator Patrick H. McCarren, of Brook

the Republicans q few days ago, and

Platform
The platform adopted by the Demo-

national state and municipal questions

and Directing to any interference in

CATHOLICS DEDICATE CHURCH.
EJifice Cost $4,000 and Is the Finest
i'm Thomas County.

Colby Kan, Oct. 1.-The new Cath
Ollie church in this city has just been
dedicated by Bishop Cunningham of
Concordia, Kan. Several priests from
northwest Kansas, assisted in the GER
emory. Rev. Father Maher of Salina,
delivered a highly interesting sermon,
for the occasion.
A class of fifteen were confirmed by
the bishop, who also delivered a few
remarks, complimenting the members
of the congregation and their pastor,
Rev. Father Fitzgerald, for complet-
ing this fine church, in spite of the
short crops in past seasons.
The choir arranged a fine musical
program, consisting of Leonard's Mass,
Wiegand's Veni Creator, and Gounod's
Ave Maria. This was one of the most
pleasing features of the services, es-
pecially to the non-Catholics, who
numbered about one-half of the au-
dience in church
The church is 20 feet long and SO
wide, of red, hard pressed brick of
Coffeyville. 1t has stained glass win
dows. The entire cost of the building
is about $4,000. 1t is the finest

be unable to see the great and glow
ing improvements made in state af-
fairs by the present administration on
account of the obstruction offered by
their tax receipts.
Some of the anti-Stubbites even go
so far as to predict that a candidate
can be found to beat the chief execu
tive out of a second term. Already
a dozen possibilities" are being talk
ed of in their home counties, but the
names of the same rarely permeate
the conversation outside of their i'm
mediate circle. 1t is rumored that the
city of Independence harbors two pos
sible candidates, and the short-grass
country is rapidly accommodating a
choice collection of them. All this
hurry to take possession of the sec
ond term is due to the theory that
farmers will not be SATISFIED with such
explanations as Governor Stubs is
able to give.
1t is a sign as old as the pillar of
cloud by day, that the farmer rises as
a portentous possibility in the path of
the administration under which the
state tax levy has been raised.

several speakers. The Republican can

also referred to by several speakers.
One of them seconding the nomination

ian unknown man whose nomination
was forced upon the Republicans by the

He continued:

SUFFERED FOR
TWENTY YEARS
A Kansas Woman, Cured of
Chronic Rheumatism, Recon-
mends the Treatment
That Cured Her.

Pure, red blood is the body's only de-
fence against disease. When healthy,
] the blood attacks the poisons of disease
and SO changes them that they can be
thrown off through the lungs, skin, kid
neys and bowels In fact this is what
the blood is constantly doing and dis
ease occurs only when the blood becomes
impure through errors in living, such as
overwork, worry, lack of fresh air or Of
nourishing food. 1t is then unable to
overcome the poisons and they are carried
throughout the body and in the weakest
organs the disease gains q foothold.

Lawrence, Kan, Oct. besides
training young men and women for
the various professions which col
1eges usually advertise in their
curriculum. the University of Kansas
seems to be a training place for
politicians. 1t is said that many of
the states most foremost politicians
today trace their first work along this
line at the time when they were in
school at Lawrence.
Always the political pot boils at the
beginning of school in September; for
that is the time when new classes
are organized, and naturally officers
must be elected. So far three of
the classes. the Freshmen. Sopho-
mores and Juniors. have held their
elections.
Few Fraternity Elections.
AS a rule a fraternity man cannot
be elected to head ticket or, in
fact elected for any office, except in
rare instances Last year there was
an exception to this rule when Carol
Lord, member of the Sigma NJ
fraternity, and one of the popular
young men in the university, was
elected as president of the middle law
class. The non-fraternity men out
number those in the Greek letter
societies, so 1t is readily seen why
fraternity men are kept from holding
office.
The Juniors have held their cleo
