vision at Once.
Other Items of General Inter.
est to Kansas Readers.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 25.-Congress-
man Victor Murdoch. the insurgent
leader of Wichita, Kan, appeared be-
fore an audience here last night in
behalf of Congressman Miles Pom
dexter's candidacy for Republican SEN
atorial nomination. Murdoch predict
ed that the insurgents will sweep this
state; also carry many Republican
strongholds in the middle west.
No one can travel over this state
as I have" said Mr.. Murdoch, land
not see that Washington is going to
join Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, the
Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas and Cali
fornia in the insurgent movement.
Furthermore, l believe the insurgents
will carry Indiana and Illinois, as well
as many other Cannon strongholds.
Il believe the Republican national
congressional committee should be re-
organized at once. Congressman w.
B. Mckinley of Illinois was made
chairman of that committee by the
Cannon machine and the Cannon ma
chine no longer represents the Re
publican sentiment anywhere in the
United States The congressional COM
mitteeman from my state for instance,
Congressman Miller. has just been
turned down by the Republicans of
his district by 5000 majority. There
are similar instances all over the
country. The Cannon men of the ma
tional committee ought to be eliminat-
ed at once"
In an interview Congressman Muir
dock declared that he is not a cam
didate for the speakership of the
house of representatives.
Il do not seek the office myself, but
I will support the candidate for speak
er who, like myself. believes the COM
mttees should be elected by the house
and not appointed by its presiding Of
ficer."
Mr.. Murdoch also said that he is in
favor of an immediate revision of the
tariff. He said it should be taken up,
schedule by schedule, and although
the next session of congress will be
too short to accomplish much, some
thing should be done toward a revi-
sion by adjournment.
Murdoch was the guest of honor in
the afternoon at a picnic given by
the Kansas club of Seattle. Today he
went to Tacoma to continue his cam
paign in behalf of Congressman Poin-
dexter.

Cuticura was Permanent.

mine years ago noticed bald spot
coming on my head and, as was only
nineteen years old, it did not seem
natural, as it was on the side of my
head instead Of on top. My mother
advised my seeing a dermatologist and
I did SO, one Of the best in Boston, and
he said it was due to q germ / must
have got at the BARRIERS. He couldn't
assure q cure, but by treating each hair
separately by electricity, he said, the
hair might come out white or gray, if
me a treatment every month for six
months at ten dollars a treatment.
When I told my mother she advised
using Cuticura and this ] did, using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment every day.
In two months my hair commenced to
grow, and in six months one would
never have known there had been any
trouble, the hair coming out being black,
the exact shade Of my own. 1 have
never had any trouble since, and feel
I can't say half enough for Cuticura.
Another member Of our family was
terribly poisoned by poison ivy and
every summer for six years the blisters
came, bursting and causing great suffer
by the best physicians, but with no
good result. Finally we tried Cuticura
and obtained relief IN very short time

ports from Chicago are to the effect
that the piece is decidedly entertain

and that Joe Howard has written sew

the memory Mort H. Singer, who
sends the production, has engaged a
cast in support of Mr.. Bulger of well
known musical people and has mount

The management intended to pur-
chase a searchlight of the ordinary
type, but jumped at the opportunity
that enabled them to obtain this re-
markable instrument, that will cast a
light eight miles, and which would
be sufficiently strong at a distance of
two miles to enable person to read
at ease.
The instrument is equipped with an
1S-inch protector and, with the excep-
ton of the drum, is made of iron
carefully filed and finished with a
dull, black paint. The drum is of poll
ished brass.
Glass mirrors of the instrument are
polished and heavily silvered. They
are f1exibly mounted in metal ring
in order to prevent injury from con-
cussion.
This type of searchlight, which is
manufactured by the General Electric
company of Schenectady, N. Y, is
often used in marine work, and has
been successfully employed in times
of strikes and other disturbances.
Several were used in patrol work in
protecting armored supply trains in
the Boer war.

display in the window at Crosby
Bros store" said Secretary H. l..
Cook, land will remain there until

THE management is making every
effort possible to carry out all prom
ises which have been made relative to
the entertainment features at the fair.
THE fair is developing in every de-
partment with rapidity far beyond
our most sanguine expectations.
Our machinery department bids
fair to being more complete than any
similar department at Kansas fairs,
as nearly all of the leading firms will
be represented. among them being
John Deere, Fairbanks, Morris and
Company and the International Har-
vester company, which alone will oc-
cupy 1000 square feet of display
space.
"It is indeed discouraging, however,
