EnaIand's Oldest Newspaper.

Besides being the governments best
journalistic property. the London Ga
zette Is also the oldest existing Eng
lish newspaper. It published its first
number In 1866. In that troubled year
the court was at Oxford on account OF
the plague and the paper bore this
name of the Oxford Gazette in conse-
ouence. not changing to its present
title. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES number.
We can get. some idea sof the cost Of
running it from the statement of one
of its rivals that the rivals charge for
entertaining spies for information"
was $500 in the first year.

THE FOREIGN TOUR CONTEST

The tour of Europe contest inaugu-
rated by the Gazette, which will soon
be in full sway, is an interesting and
important event. While it is a bust
ness proposition, primarily, designed
to advance the material interest of the
paper, it also possesses clements OF
public interest in that it is bound to
attract the attention of great many
persons to a project of itself, worthy
in every way-thst of providing a
tour of Europe for three popular and
deserving women from the various
sections into which the country has
been divided for the conduct Of the
campaign.
A foreign tour is one of the best
and most enjoyable of human expert
ences. One likes to participate for
brief season in the daily life and do
ings of those who live in other coun-
tries, and to the people of the United
States there is no country that APP
peals more strongly than does Europe,
with it's wealth of science, beauty and
historic interest.
Most of us are required to do our
foreign travel here at home, through
the medium of books and magazines
and newspapers, and it is to this class
that the Gazette's tours of Europe
contest especially appeals. For it af-
fords to some of them the opportuni-
ty of enjoying foreign tour of great
attractivcness free of cost. Others
who will not be contestants will keen
w enjoy working to secure the high
privilege for some loved friend. In
this manner the pleasure and excite
ment of the contest will be shared in
by many more than those who aspire
to the chief prizes.
The greatest question now before
our readers is: Who will be chosen
for this fine treat of ocean ride and
foreign travel? This is for the great
body of Gazette readers to say. They
will make the selections and the Ga
Zette will do the rest.

HORSES and MULES.
Exhibit a Fine One in Face of Horse
Disease.

The horse and mule show is as
good as there is in the country this
season. OF course the breeders and
stock raisers are not showing many
horses this season because they don't
care to firt with the scourge that is
killing so many in the state and other
states. The show here is small but
quality takes the place of quantity this
season. A number of large exhibitors
who have been here on former oc-
casiops have left their horses at home
and come here merely to see the show
and f1irt with the ponies on the track.
The Lee Brothers of Harveyville
are the largest exhibitors and were
successful in winning the largest num-
Der of decisions. In fact. they vir-
tually cleaned up in the Percheron
classes The horses from the stable
of the Harveyville breeders attract
more attention than any of the others.
Practically all of their Percherons are
American born and bred but at that
these horses make a good showing
against the imported horses.
Another good showing is made by
the Oak Grove stock farm of Ozawkie,
Kansas. NJ. G. Bigham & Sons are
the owners and breeders They are
showing Percherons and mules. OF
course these men show hogs, sheep,
chickens and cattle and their showing
in these departments is equal to their
showing in horses.
German Coach is the only class
shown besides the Percheron classes.
Joseph w ear cS sun u Tie I4cbH A1Slld4O
Stock farm of Barnard, Kansas, are
showing a big string of horses in this
class. They have an excellent string
of horses but have practically no OPP
position and cleaned up with the rib
bons.
Al E. Smith of a stock farm by the
same name, which is located in Law
renee, has a big string of mammoth
Jacks, jennets and a few Percheron
horses Smith is well known breed
er and has an excellent show. Henry
w McAfee of Topeka has some mules
that cause other breeders to sit up
and take notice. Mr.. McAfee won
first and second on the best mule three
years old or more; first on team and
grand champion mule
E w. Hocher of the Hoyt Horse
company of Hoyt, Kansas, has a num-
Der of Percherons' ia the stalls which
are attracting considerable attention.

STILL ANOTHER
 HERPICIDt ENTHUSIAST
Thousands of Them

I am always grateful for real bless ings. and know of nothing that I need to be more thankful for than NeWbrOs II H=rpicide. Thousands Of ladies, not only in the United States. but all over the world. feel the same way about t. To this wonderful scalp and hair remedy they owe their soft, long, beautiful hair
 Mary J Terry. of Loyeioy, III, writes: My hair came out until there was just a scanty cover for the scalp. tried everything ever heard of or road about, until finally used Herpicide. There is nothing like it. My head is now covered with new hair I shall forever praise Herpi- eide"
 Most hair troubles come from dan. GrUff Newbro's Herpicide removes this dandTuf by killing the germ which causes it. IL also stimulates a flow of blood which nourishes tho folcles The scalp being healthy. the hair does not come out and the new hair is allowed to grow
 There are other preparations which they say are just as good' as Herpi. eide lt is not advisable to try them Instead of doing any good they may do positive harm.
 No one is ever disappointed in New bros Herpicide. The results are al- ways the same. always satisfactory, as is indicated by the fact that Her picide has been sold for years and has thousands of satisfied friends. ;I It is the only genuine, original daudrpR germ destroyer. There is nothing just as good
 NeWbro's Herpicide in soc and sI.G0 sizes is sold by sll dealers, who guarantee it to do all that is claimed. If you are not satisfied your money will be refunded.

CUNNINGHAM TELLS OF BUSINESS BOOM
 IN CAPITAL CITY
Returned Yesterday from Phoenix, Where He Had
 Been on Business
FAIR TO BE HUMMER

M J. Cunningham has returned home from a business trip to Phoenix. where he remained for several days looking after business there. the Bank of Bisbee carrying a number of leans in the Salt River valley. Mir. Cunningham says that judging the state by the prevailing prosperity in Cochise and Maricopa counties, the entire commonwealth is enjoying a season of good times.
 Water Is Abundant
 He reports that crops in the Salt River valley this year were the best ever produced, and for these crops, including grain. hay. vegetables and fruit. excellent prices have been and are being received.
 Water has been abundant during the entire summer, and yet the meas urement of the supply in the Roose- welt reservoir stands but a little be low the maximum.
 The merchants of Phoenix are all declaring their satisfaction with present trade and the outlook for the fall season. They are getting new business from the increased activity in the mines of Pinal and Gila coun- ties. which depend on Phoenix for supplies.
 Booming the Fair
 Mir. Cunningham declared that ev erybody in Phoenix has entered on the work of boosting the annual state fair. which will be held during the latter days of october and first days of November. The city oi Phoenix has subscribed and added to the state fund $500 for thi; years fair. and that they are claim ing that the fair this year will be far ahead of any previous one.

 Woman Deserted.
 In still another tent is a woman with three children, the youngest of which is but eleven days old. She was lying on a cot st5bing, feeble and weak. Her sister was by her side. Since leaving tue colony her husband deserted her and she does not know where he is With that wifely devotion so characteristic with the mother, however, she in- sists he will return some day.
 Lost a Son.
 One family is mouring the loss of son, the death of whom vas a sad tragedy. They had twin sons eight years old. When they fled from the colony the mother and one of the sons went on horseback, while the father and other son rode on a load of goods A lurch of the wagon on road: which contained deep ruts threw the son off the load and one ot the back wheels of the wagon rar upon his abdomen. To go on woult kill him, and the horses were un able to back the load off his pros trate form. The mother held tho head of the son in her lap soothing his brow while the father unloadet the goods, but the child died be fore the load was removed.
