NORTON OPENS FIRE.
Says Belts Forces Tried to Buy Him
OF.

The fight for the nomination for
sheriff on the Republican ticket has
been livened up by the open letter
from Col Jonathan D. Norton. which
is appended. 1t was issued this morn
ing and is self-exDlanatory.
Predictions have been made that
the campaign for the Republican NOM
nation for this office will be the hot
test fight of the entire election and
Colonel Norton's letter, as the opening
gun, seems to justify the prophecy. 1t
is as follows:
Topeka, Kan, June "a, 1910
ITO the Voters of Shawnee County:
Gentlemen: 1 am the law and or
der candidate for sheriff. as you are
aware. 1 am entitled to the nomina
ton by all rules of civil service and
precedent. have served two and one
half years as under sheriff and but one
year as sheriff.
81 am the only candidate who has
had any experience in the duties of the
| office. I feel that am entitled to a
second term.
ST have been told recently by ennis
saries from Mr.. Belts that I will be
defeated. that they will put enough
money and mud singing into the
campaign to accom- olish this. Failing
to force my retirement, they then pro-
C00ueQ 10 TO DFlDe me, OI0TlnS ME
a cash refund of all my campaign ex-
| penses, also the position of under sher-
| iff, with a good salary, or any other
| position equally as good, to withdraw
from the race.
''This proposition was made me this
week by Mr.. Metzger, president of the
| German-American State bank. who is
the manager of Mr.. Belts campaign;
also, by Mr.. Frank Stahl. Mr.. Harry
| Larimer and others whom 1 will name
| if necessary. 1, of course, refused all
propositions and filed my nomination
papers.
Those gentlemen also informed me
that they had secured the influence of
the Daily Capital for Mr. Belts and
| they expected to get the State Jour
nal; also. that they had an unlimited
amount of money to put into this cam
paign and were confident of winning.
| "Why does Mr.. Belts. vice president
| of the German-American State bank,
want the office of sheriff!
| 'Why does Mr.. Metzger. president of
the German-American State bank.
want to be the political boss of Shaw
nee county?
"As members Of the liberal drink
ing clubs of Topeka, why are they SO
determined to get me off the track
| and out of their way? Is it because
[ am a life long temperance Republi-
can?
MY friends, don't believe their cam
paign fabrications. but ascertain the
truth. Every official act of mine is
open to investigation, the books of the
sheriff are public records. Come and
fsee for yourself. Sincerely yours,
| JONATHAN D. NORTON"

pie, you should be frank, honest and man
~ and tell the truth always even though
1t removes the skin at times
am pleased to inform you that as far
as Governor Stubs is concerned, the con-
test is all over. He will be nominated by
a large majority. No one knows better
than you that the Wagstaff bubble has
"busted' but of course, if you still insist
upon raving and pounding the air, and
weeping and wailing and gnashing your
teeth. there is no law to prevent it. Your
unscrupulous efforts to get an issue before
the people, reminds one of a drowning
man grasping for straw
The Kansas people were short-sighted
politically and gold bricked under the
convention plan, but you can't work them
along those lines under the law that was
enacted to restore to government of Kan
sas to the sovereign people. refer to the
primary law that the friends of Senator
Curtis and Mr.. Wagstaff so bitterly op-
posed. They are now seeking to regain
control of Kansas SO that they may re-
peal 1t from the statutes and thereby de-
prive the people of Kansas of the most
popular law ever enacted by the Kansas
legislature. Yours very truly,

Anyone wishing to test poslam, the
new skin remedy, for the rapidity of
its action should select a red spot or
small part of a surface where the
skin is extensively broken out. Pos
lam should be applied on this place
at night and results noted in the
morning by comparison with the sur
rounding skin, which has not been
treated. Surprising results are seen,
particularly when poslam is used for
red and infiamed noses, fever blisters,
pimples, rash, scaly scalp, itching feet,
sunburn, etc. The beneficial action of
this new healing agent is eczema,
acne, psoriasis, BARRIERS itch. piles,

CHINESE STUDENTS FUND
Bows in United States Will Deny
Themselves to Help NAVY.

To show that they are no less patriotic
than their friends at home, the Chinese
students in the United States will contrib
Ute monthly toward the popular fund now
being raised in China to enlarge the i'm
perial Chinese navy.
y c. Ma, q Yale graduate. who is a
student in the department of political sci
ence at Columbia University. has been ap-
pointed by the Joint Council of Chinese
Students in North America to act as chair
man of a committee to collect funds from
the students.
I'VE do not believe the fund we'll get win

to show that we are for the movement

Many government supported students
have agreed to save part of the $3.50 a
year they are allowed. Some boys will
deny themselves the enjoyment Of cigarettes
and resort TO the use Of pipes to show their
patriotism. Not only government sup
ported students will contribute toward the
fund, but also those who have to work their
way through college.
About five hundred Chinese students are
attending colleges or universities in this

NAMED, THOUGH UNWILLING
Miss Hay Wanted for President
of State Federation.

The atmosphere IS fairly opaque these
days with candidates, willing and unwill-
ing for office in womens organizations.
one of the unwilling ones, it seems, is Miss
Mary Garrett Hay, who a a meeting of the
1st judicial District of the New York State
Federation of Womens Clubs, held at the
Waldorf-Astoria yesterday morning, was
indorsed for president of that body, after
having positively refused TO consider the
nomination.
Mrs. William Cumming Story, who was
regarded as a certain candidate, has an
nounced that she will not run because she
is going to run for the office of president
general of the Daughters of the American
Revolution against Mrs Matthew T. Scott,
who will run to succeed herself Mrs. Story
feels that it would not do to attempt to
act as head of both organizations at once.
When she sanctioned the use of her
name as a federation candidate there was.
IL seems, on impression that she would not
be nominated by the Daughters until 1913,
or until Mrs. Scott had served a second
term. Since that time the plot in the tale
of this organization has thickened with
startling rapidly. and the fight IS on for
next April So Miss Hay, willy-nilly, will
be expected to fill the chasm at the fedora
ton convention in Ithaca on November Il.

JEAN CHRISTOPHER

romance. and still the hero has not run

the translation of the earlier part of this

the author of Evelyn Inness.'' the best
musical novel in English literature. is

there are velvets and brOcades of such a
texture that they can be used with similar
effect. These materials often have the ap-
pearance Of splendid draperies added to
simple frOcks OF some sheer fabric such
as chiffon. lace or net.
In the skirts of such costumes only the
smallest portion of the under robe may be
visible at one side, but in the corsage little
of the heavier material is used There is
a marked tendency toward diagonal sort
of arrangement on the latter that leaves
the under robe exposed on one side, as in
the satin gown illustrated. This One-sided
drapery sometimes passes over the Shout
der and may even form a second sleeve.
although in some models il stops at the
bust In gowns of this kind. If the over
dress is not actually in one piece, fitted
by means of a few wrinkles, the waist is
most likely to be encircled by an elOnga-
tion Of some portion of the cOrsage that

Materials that are not soft enough to

beautiful white silk CrepOn with sprays
Of flowers in brocade scattered over it.
The skirt opened diagona1ly in front one
