ORIENTAL SCARES
LOCAL HOUSEWIVES

Hamud Mostuffa, an oriental ped
dler, ran afoul of the law yesterday
as result of terrorizing housewives
in the south and west end of town
for the past few days. Mostuffa's plan
was to knock on the door and solicit
the patronage of the lady of the
manor. When the prospective buyer
refused to purchase, the oriental is
alleged to have refused to leave the
premises. In many instances he made
threats and in other ways intimidated
the women. The police received COM
plants in regard to the man several
days ago and had been on the lookout
for him ever since. Mostuffa was
captured yesterday afternoon and this
morning paid a fine of SO and costs.
He had a huge roll of bills on his
person, and evidently did not fear star
walton in case he did not make any
sales.

roses and wore a white rose in her

The church was deliberately and
beautifully decorated, crystalized
leaves and flowers carrying out a pref
~ effect in all the rooms. In the
opening between the various rooms
were lattice work arches covered with
crystalized white leaves with many
tiny electric lights among them. Or
the chandeliers and railing were gar
lands OF the white leaves In the
dining room the serving table had as
a centerpieoe a large bouquet Of
brides roses and laid about the board
were white leaves. At each end o.

There is a host of pills, powders,
tablets and what-not for rheumatism,
but they all lack the first essential to
being a natural medicine. To begin
with, rheumatism is simply a name
given to designate a variety of pains,
and can only be reached by irri-
eating the entire blood supply with
naturally assimilative antidote. True,
the pains may be eased with mar
cotics or the acids may be neutralized
for the time being. But such methods
merely temporize and do not even lead
to a cure. There is but one standard
rheumatism remedy, and is sold in all
drug stores under the name of S. S. s.
1t contains only pure vegetable
elements and is absolutely free of mer-
curry. iodide of potash or arsenic and
| has proved a wonder for every form
of rheumatism.
| The recoveries of all types of rheu-
matism by the use of S. S. S. is a fine
| tribute to the natural efficacy of this
remarkable medicine, for it is assmi-
lated just as naturally, just as specif-
cally, and just as well ordained as the
most acceptable, most palatable and
most readily Gigested food. Do not
fail to get a bottle of S. s S. to-day

Senator Cummins and other pro-
gressive republicans now gathered in
chicago are
Today's Republican striving to get
Gathering. the republican
party back into
its old time trim ana they have some
good things upon their program.
There is for instance the proposition
OF abolishing the rule under which in
the past each state has been given
delegates in the convention on the
basis of the states representation in
congress. Cummins would abolish
this rule and substitute a plan where
by delegations would be chosen in ac-
ccrdance with the party's strength in
the various states.
This reform would eliminate the
evil Of the southern delegate in the re-
publican convention. The southern
delegates at republican conventions
are always a mercenary outfit. They
are republicans for spoils and go to
the best manipulation or the highest
bidder. They do not represent the
best thought Of the republican party
and there is no sound reason why the
south should be given such strong
representation. With republican in
the white house it would be diff
cult to enact such reform as is pro-
posed. But now that the z. o. p. is
out and therefore the elimination Of
the southern delegate evil would
work no hardship on any particular
element of the party it seems the re-
form should be adopted.
Just what will result from the ef-
forts being put forth by Cummins ana
his followers cannot yet be told. II is
possible the old line element will
frown on the move and refuse TO ad-
nit there is any need for such work
as the progressives wish 10 have done.
Cummins' own personality also is
somewhat against the move. His
strength Of leadership may not be suf-
ficient to carry the rehabilitation plans
To success. Yet the move may sue
ceed in part If not in its entirety and
If the single reform regarding the
southern representation in the con-
vention is put through good step for
ward will have been taken.
II would be well for the country II
the progressives Of the republican
party could gain complete control and
get the party back into fighting shape.
L would put the democrats squarely
on their mettle and aid President Will
son with his program. The welfare
ot the nation rests not on advance
ment by any particular party but up
on advancement by all the parties.
