colonel Roosevelt's supporters are
pointing with much pride to the fact
that he has repudiated the bosses
and the professional politicians in his
present campaign. But they are care
full to ignore the further fact that the
colonel was always willing to have the
support of the bosses and the pro-
fessional politicians when they were
willing to help him on his way to politl-
cal preferment.

CLOSING SCHOOL DAYS VITAL.
1t is about time for school to close
in the towns. They have been closing
for several weeks in the country dis
tricts of Kansas and other states. All
over the country the month of May
is a month of Impotence for the sloth-
full student and of anxiety for the hard
worker who wants to succeed and Is
afraid he will not. And right now Is
the time when the career of many
makes that career either better or
worse. If there is enough laziness
creeping into the school life of a pupil
in the last days of the year to make
that pupil fail to carry good grades the
process of undermining ambition by
failure and disappointment, sets it. BY
the time the next year comes there
has either been determination to quit
school or o take it easy" and have
good time, either of which is fatal
to good record in school or in after
life. The closing days are the vital ones
in the school year.
THE FIRST HAIR GUT.
We were very much grieved to learn
of the death of c C. Mccain OF Yates
Center last week For several years
he has been on the down hill slant OF
life but always a jolly, hearty little
man whom we liked to meet up with
when visiting for few hours in the
place Oh our nativity. Ii was he, assist
ed by his son, Billy, and Johnny Bald
win, now of Garrett. who performed
the first operation on the present in
cumbent of the editorial office of this
paper, namely the hair cut that de-
prived us of a wealth of curls and thus
enabled us to shoot "miggies" and
spike" tops and play for keeps with
the rest of the boys. BY the time they
had coaxed the last strand of hair to
the jaws of the shears they had me
fiat on my back on the floor, and howl
ing and scrapping for dear life. But
they made boy of me.-Osawatomie

Tho Transforming Touch of Genius.

The genius In tailoring accompllshes
without effort things that refuse TO
yield to the most determined efforts OF
the ordinary mortal. He apparently
creates out Of nothing. His touch
transforms the shape OF the customer
and the set Of the garment. He molds
the ungainly form into an Apollo. and
the misfit garment falls into natural
place in his hands. The lines OF his
draft are unapproachable. and his sys'
tenn is infallible. He knows just when
the shoulder Is TO be advanced or re-
ceded: he understands intuitively just
how much the waist is to be suppress
cd or filed In and how much spring is
required. He never makes mistake.

JURY RETURNS
Open VERDICT
MEETS TODAY TO INQUIRE INTO
DEATH OF THE LATE THEO-
DoRE SIMMER WHO
DIED APRIL IL.

The inquest To inquire into the de-
tails connected with the death of the
late Theodore Simmer, who died at
his home on Quincy street from car
bolic acid poisoning on April II. was
held this morning In Justice Funkey's
court. The jury composed of George
Taylor, NJ. J. 3rushmaker. William
Nudge, Ben Noonan, Charles Tapero
and Nell Harrington, returned the fol-
lowing verdict.
That Theodore Simmer came to his
death by taking a quantity of carDolic
acid at his residence. POS Quincy street,
Hancock, between . a. IN. and p. m.
on April 10, 1872"
Mrs. Simmer told the jurors that It
bad been her custom to go to her
mothers home in Ripley once each
week, and that although her husband
had been sick, he seemed to be inn
proving, in fact he thought of return
ing to work on the day of his death
but decided 10 defer IT for one more
day. He requested that on her return
from her mothers home she should
stop at the Quincy Smelling company's
oilice and draw his pay for the prcvi-
ous month She left home about 8
o'clock and did not return until about
o'clock, when she found her husband
dead on the floor. She sent for Dr
Scallon and chief of Police Thor and
Dr. Scallon held a post mortem which
resulted in finding a quantity Of car.
bolic acid in his stomach. DIR. Scallon
ana Chief Tibor testified to the same
facts.
Ed Watson. clerk at the City Drug
store testified that on the Monday Of
the week in which Simmer died, he had
purchased a small bottle of carbolic
acid. AS Simmer had been in the habit
of doctoring himself for small all
nents, the supposition is that he had
used the carbolic acid In a greatly dill
uted form as gargle and that he had
accidentally taken ton much of it.
