His Comma Out.

A fond Chicago mother is to give a
contingent party for her son. Of
course, Sd have no means of know
ing the youth, but We fancy he must
be exactly that kind of son-and we
await with bated anxiety a full de-
scription of his coming-out costume.
What will be done with the gentle
youth after this severe social ordeal
isn't stated, but it can be believed
that he is to be rushed around to all
sorts of society functions-and, Of
course, carefully guarded against the
matrimonial designs of fortune-hunt-
ing females.

FOR SCIATIC
RHEUMATISM
Try the Treatment That Cured
This Pronounced Case in
Minneapolis After Other
Treatments Failed.

sciatica is neuralgia of the sciatic
nerve. Its origin is generally rheu-
matte and is Che direct result OF taking
cold. For this reason the disease is
commonly known as Essciatic rheuma-
tism." That DIR. Williams Pink Pills
cure this disease is shown by numerous
cases like that of Mrs. J. B. Hansen, Of
No. 22l Twentieth Ave, &c., Minnea-
polls, MINI. She says:
A few years ago following an attack
of the grip was taken with sciatica.
For six years [ suffered untold agony
and thought it would be blessing to
me if [ could only die. There were
sharp, shooting pains in both of my
limbs and my shoulders and arms vera
affected also but not SO severely. Ii I
moved about quickly, the pain would
catch me so.thaS had to scream. My
limbs would swell until I could hardly
walk. l also had terrible dull pain
in my back which was often unbear-
able. 4 was confined to bed for week
or two at time While suffering from
the sciatica [ was further rundown by
weakness common to women of my age.
81 received so little relief from the
doctors medicine that I became dis
oouraged and quit it. My husband
urged me to try DR.. Williams Pink
Pills as he had read how they had cur
ed cases like mine. [ felt better after
had taken the pills a short time but
took several boxes until [ was certain
was cured. [ give this statement of my
cure thinking that other sufferers may
be helped as was through using DR..
Williams Pink Pills"
The tonic treatment with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills succeeds where other
treatments fail because it is based on
the sound medical principle that the
health of the nerves depends on pure,
red blood.

was unable to produce the necessary

TAFT WINS THE
n. !. PRIMARIES
PRESIDENTS SUPPORTERS CLAIM
SO OUT OF 90 DELEGATES TO
CONVENTION.
ROOSEVELT GETS ONLY. 7
Organization Candidates in Practically
Every District Are Elected
Colonel Men Dis
satisfied.

New York, March 81. Statewide
Republican primaries for delegates to
the Republican national convention at
Chicago resulted in the election of
organization candidates in practically
every district where there was a con-
test. Claims that at least SO of the
80 delegates will be for Taft and not
more than for Roosevelt were made
by State Chairman William Barnes,
Jr., and John w. Hutchinson, director
of the eastern branch of the National
Taft bureau.
Chairman Charles H. Duell of the
Roosevelt city committee declared
that the primaries characterized by
"a complete breakdown of the election
machinery had been a farce" He as
serted that an effort would be made
by the Roosevelt committee to secure
"a real primary in this city with a
full expression of Republican opinion"
AS to the result of the balloting,
Chairman Koenig said:
with 1872 election districts missing,
President Taft in the primary contest
in New York county received 29,402
and Colonel Roosevelt 14,011.
This indicates that the president
has beaten Colonel Roosevelt in this
city by more than 2 to 1. 1t was the
most remarkable victory ever achieved
by the organization when we consider
that Colonel Roosevelt is a resident
of New York. We hope now that the
primary contest is over and that all
Republicans will unite in support of
the president"
County Chairman Koenig claimed
victory in his own district, by a vote
of $50 to 70 and declared the returns
from about 10 per cent of the cleo
ton districts indicated a ratio of vot-
ing of about to 1 against the opposi-
ton. He claimed the election of or
ganization delegates in every district.
The PRIMARIES opened at p. m.
amidst great confusion, owing to the
delay in delivering the ballots in many
voting districts.
In one case on the West side, the
police officially reported that the bal
lots designed for use at IS polling
places did not arrive until about p.
M, and in the three-hour wait, some
early-comers left the polls. The polls
closed at p. m. There was further
embarrassment because the green bal
lots for the Democratic primaries
were delivered to many places instead
of the Republican pink ones. 1t was
well into the evening before the mix
ups were Strengthened out
President Britt of the board of cleo
tons declared that the delay was due
largely TO the eleventh hour litigation
which the Roosevelt committee began
over the position of delegates on the
ballots, resulting in court orders
which handicapped the printer.
1t was the first trial of the new
primary law and the working Of it
had been looked to with special inter-
est on this occasion. Ballots ranged
from 10 to IA feet long and so great
had been the haste to get them out
that in some cases they were in Sec
tons, there having been lack of time
to paste them together.

States Commissioner Samuel Hitch
cock. The specific case under con.

CHAPTER XVII.
Colonel Bill Hamilton Plays His Lone
Hand.


Young Haldane's first duty was to
distribute manifestos to the newspa.
pers as far as his copies permitted.
Having discharged his errand, with
the one copy which he had reserved
for himself, he headed for home, hit
ting up a tremendous pace as he
raced along the almost deserted
streets
Before he had left to warn Gormly,
he had in a few hasty words given
his sister an inkling Of what was
about to happen. He knew that she
would be awaiting the result of his
interview with an anxiety not to be
measured. In a short time, therefore.
he placed the confession in her
hands. With straining eyes and throb-
hing heart the girl devoured the type
written pages
Her feelings were a singular com.
pound of varying emotions. For one
thing, there was relief that it was no
worse: for another, there was ad-
miration at the boldness and courage
with which the man had grappled with
a desperate situation, the dexterity
and resource with which in perfect
honor and dignity he had eXtTicated
himself from the dilemma in which
the opposition had sought to plunge
him, the magnificent audacity with
which he had faced the crisis and
dominated the interview; lastly, there
was a keen, terrible pang Of jealousy
and bitterness toward that other WOnl-
an. 1t was this last emotion that was
self revealing.
Eleanor Haldane knew now that
she loved this man. She realized in
this unwilling of her heart that prob
ably she had loved him all the time:
that the other feelings and emotions
which he had stirred in her heart and
she had sought to characterize by diff
ferent words were now blended into
passion as great as his own.
She sat quite silently, staring at
the paper. reading the lines over and
over again, thinking her thoughts, un-
til her brother, who had absented him
self for a brief space, came back into
the room.
Well" he said, what are you go
ing to do?"
will you take a note to him to-
night" she asked
Not now" was the answer cts
too late | begged him to go to bed
and try to get some rest. He will
need all his strength tomorrow"
But this night"
81 don't care what it is, you can't
get it to him tonight. Besides that
isn't the best way"
The girl sat down at her desk,
picked up a pen and drew a sheet of
paper toward her She OWNED what
was in her brothers mind. She knew
what would be the best way after all
as well as he. Well she would do it!
What will father say?" she asked
half curiously.
HE will have enough to do explain
ing his part in this transaction to say
anything about anything else
"You don't think that he
"I am sorry to say it." answered
young Haldane gravely; "but it was
father who gave me the clue, you
know, and I am dead certain that the
whole ring have put the chief of po-
lice up to his dirty work"
He turned away as he spoke and
hung his head in shame Eleanor
Haldare had already gone through

Webster county fifteen for Taft, fou

Webster county fifteen for Taft, -four
for Cummins.
The most noticeable difference. be,
tween Taft, who is candidate, and
Roosevelt, who is not candidate, is
that Taft has courteously refrained
from abusing his opponent.
Nothing is more eloquent of the
changed sentiment towards the pres
ident than the attitude of Calhoun
and Webster counties in this district.
Both we're accounted as rock.ribbed
in the progressive faith, both were
absolutely counted on by the Cum
minis forces. Calhoun instructed for
the president and in Webster instruc-
lions weer not passed simply out OF
courtesy to the wishes of Senator
Kenyon. The majority of the conven-
ton favored Taft and the delegation
is more than four to one for him.
Roosevelt has done nothing to deny
the charge made against him by the
progressives, that while he was in Of
flee he did nothing to advance the
progressive theories. He was no more
in sympathy with such men as La
Toilette and Cummins than Taft has
been, and he was far less courteous.
He never called La Toilette into coun-
Gil and it is reliably stated that he
never spoke of Cummins without an
oath. He has simply borrowed the
progressive plumage to further his
ambition.
There is a. deal of Roosevelt senti-
ment in the country, but it is on'
sentiment. Sentiment is a danger
GUS guide. It lead France to follow
the eagles of Napoleon through seas
of blood. 1t has led all sorts of peo-

A BUSINESS PROPOSITION.

That the electric light franchise was
defeated is a source of regret to a
large majority of our business men
1t is claimed that large per cent OF
the vote against the franchise was civ
en- by men who are not patrons OF
the light company, except as they are
indirect users of the city lights. The
defeat of the franchise leaves the
question open. 1t is a business ques'
ton. The city wants, needs and must
have, light and power The electric
tight company is in the best situation
to furnish these necessities and it
very naturally wishes authority to con-
tinue in it's established business. Thus
we have a situation which must be
met
Under such circumstances it is in
credible that a ground of common
agreement cannot be found. There
are but three courses open to the city:
To renew the franchise, to purchase
the plant and operate. it, or to grant
q new franchise to some other com,
pany.
The citylis in no position to buy the
plant at present. We have practically
exceeded our limit of Indebtedness,
aud taxes are now SO heavy that it
would be difficult to levy the large
added amount which would be neces-
sary, even if the law permitted. We
have much hope in the new council,
but the past experience of the city in
running it's own affairs is not OF an
encouraging nature. AS to granting
