standpatters Stay With Young.
With the standpatters continuing to
stand pat, there Is as little outlook for
an election Of senator now as there
was ct the opening OF the week. de-
spite the fact that Funk's support has
been thrown to Kenyon. II the Ken
yon men return the favor, as 1t Is pos
sible they may do either tomorrow or
Friday, the standpaters maintain
that they will still stand firm for
Young.
Last night the Young supporters
held a meeting and after It's close
several of them declared. that 1t had
been the sense Of the gathering that
they stand firmly by the senator to the
finish, That doesn't look very good
for Kenyon. There were thirty-four
people at the meeting, and one OF the
y3sentees was accounted for by his
Klbsence from the city. He is Senator
Chapman Of Cedar. The other two
who did not attend the meeting sent
good reasons and are expected to
stand by the others, solidly for Young.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

Il can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me Of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger. and not
giving 1t any attention. it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
II would have them In water for q
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. l could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves could think of. went to
three different doctors. but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing SO much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set. and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely we'll, one set being all used"

1t seems Incredible that any forces of

monument that rears its head SO far
above the brown plains. The sides OF

1t seems to be an tmpossibility. 1t is
said that few years ago man and

cent Of the DEVILS Tower, but they
were compelled to drive iron spikes
in the face Of the cliff and mount by
such artificial aids. To ascend the

have been made. and 1t is not impos-

stairways by which the venturesome
may reach the top of the rock.
The Indian legends concerning the
Devils Tower are many. The plain
tribes all regarded the rock with su<
perstitious awe and the medicine menI
ascrtbed its construction to the povg
ers Of darkness. Probably this view
has been echoed by the white men in
christening the rock the Devils Tower.
Indian legends add not a little to
the interest surrounding the DEVILS
Tower. Occasionally the rock is Wis

vations. the Crows and Cheyennes be-
ing located about 200 miles westward.
while the Sioux stop at the tower
every year on their way from their
agencies In the Dakotas to attend the
Crow Indian fair at Crow agency. Red
men and white united in regarding
the great rock with awe. and pioneers
who remember the inspiring sight as
they crossed the plains, are glad that
the government has preserved this
great natural monument for the bens-

H POOR PRINTER

About the only objection hat APP
pears to have been advanced against
the new primary law is that the
printer gets too much money for the
work he does in connection with ear
rying out the provisions OF the law.
Wonder If the expense, overtime,e etc.
that the printer contends With in this
matter has been taken into consid-
Grafton. When reductions are want
ed in any line the printer is always
the first to be cut down and the last
to be given a raise.
