the most revolving of these spec
tacles from their gaze, soothe the
acute horror they have already
caused, assuage the righteous in
dignation they have aroused and
hull the public mind into sweet
forgetfulness until after election
day. If the people will only for
get, or even accept the ring-in-
spired explanation that "the situa-
ton is not as bad as was at first
supposed" the bosses and their
tireless and willing automa-
tons can more readily divert the
public mind and attention to other
phases of the campaign and by
thus inducing the voters to return
under the pretense of saving the
party" prevail upon them to vote
the ticket.
Instead of hurrying to cover,
rather than relinquish their grip
upon the party for the time being
and allow the people to have their
own way for once without their
meddlesome interference, encour-
aging reorganization and thor
ough funigation of the party,
these irrepressible politicians are
boldly planning and conniving at
new plots and schemes through
which to hoodwink the less tract
able members OF their party, still
hoping, and inspiring that false
hope within the breasts of their
willing tools, that the people will
yet return under the spell and
charm the bosses are endeavoring
to throw around them, and carry
the Democratic ticket through to
victory!
Vain and baseless hope. Shame
less and brazen arrogance! 1t is
adding gross insult to the crimi-
nal injury already inflicted upon
an intelligent people to thus attri-
butte to them such calloused SEN
sibiities.
An outraged ppublic will re-
member the crimes, the criminals
and the benefciaries OF both, for
many more weeks than intervene
between now and election dov.

WOMEN'S WOES
Elkton Women Are Finding Relief At

1t does seem that women have
more than fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity ;
they must keep up, must attend
to duties in spite of constantly ach-
ing backs, or headaches, dizzy
spells, bearing-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop
means torture. They must walk
and bend and work with racking
pains and many aches from kidney
ills. Sick kidneys cause more suf-
fering than any other organ OF the

Instead of accepting the situa-

that the people throughout the
State have determined to break
the power of the Baltimore City
ring although the defeat of the
entire Democratic ticket may

MAKES GOOD CATCH.
Kansas sheriff Believed to Have Ar
rested Bank Thief.

Kansas City, July 1.-THE arrest of
Thompson, on tie charge OF forging
check for SIS on the First National
bank. may prove to be a big capture
for Sheriff z. o. Mccain of Jefferson
county. Kan. if the contention Of the
United States postofce inspectors is
true.
Thompson was arrested while work
ing in the Kansas wheat fields on
farm in Jefferson county. He is &C
cused Of having induced an acquaint-
auce to cash a check on the Kansas
City bank which was signed e. c.
Burkett-" and it is alleged that he as
serted himself to be an operative of a
private detective agency.
The pOst0f1ce inspectors declare that
Thompson is really Robert HiIdebrand.
a stenographer and clerk, formerly in
the government service. who is wanted
in the Philippine islands for the theft
Of a large number Of money order
forms. many Of which have been filed
cut and cashed since the blanks were
stolen.

cashad some of the bogus drafts. ard

of the bad money orders.

Francisco and NortonvilIe-
