RECALL IN CHEzRRYVALE.
Commissioners Charged With Drawing
Too Large Salary.

Cherryvale, Kan, May 23.-Peti-
tons asking for the recall of Mayor
S. ]. Harmon and Commissioner J. H.
Miller have been started in each of
the four wards in Cherryvale. J. S.
Leech, who is carrying the Third ward
petition, stated he got 25 signatures
within thirty minutes.
1t is necessary to get % per cent of
the eligible vote but the leaders in the
movement say they expect to get 40
per cent, and, if possible, so per cent
of the eligible vote.
The recall is invoked against these
officials because they drew salary last
year on basis of 5000 population,
when, in fact, the census returns was
but 4,S4S. If the required number of
signatures is secured to the petitions,
Cherryvale will be confronted with
another election. If an election is
called, candidate will be put up against
the present incumbents and the ones
getting the highest votes will be en-
titled to the respective offices.

CROXONE SOON RELIEVES ALL
KIDNEY AND BLADDER TROUBLES

stopped up kidneys and makes them
filter and sift out all the poisonous
waste matter from the blood. It neu-
tralizes and dissolves the uric acid that
lodges in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing rheumatism; soothes and heals the
delicate Innings of the bladder.
More than a few doses Of Croxone are
seldom required to relieve even the
obstinate, long standing cases.
You will find Croxone entirely diff

so prepared that it is practically i'm

GAY 4TH FOR LONDON A HUMAN BEANSTALK
Ambassador Pages Household
Aroused by Telescope Visitor.
fBy Gable TO Tn. Tribune J

London. June IS. A youthful looking
man walked into the American En-
bassy one day last week and asked for
a passport. which he said he wished
TO use on tour OF Russia. He said
he was Clarence Willard, of Paines-
Vile. Ohio, and proceeded 20 comply
with the usual formalities as 10 age,
color Of hair, weight, parentdge and so
on. However, when Edward Hobson,
one Of the clerks, asked Wizards
height he was astounded to receive
the reply:
"Oh, anywhere from FIVE feet nine
and three-quarter inches to six feet
four"
What? Say that again" suffered
the clerk The visitor smiled and con-
tinued:
ooh. yes I'm willard. the man who
grows. l will show YOU what I near" -
To Hobson's further amazement the
man began slowly 10 grow, increasing
in height until instead of looking
straight into the eyes OF Hobson. who
is a medium sized man. he was gazing
down AZ tho top Of the clerks head.
Hobson called in Frank Page and
Harold Fowler the American Ambas-
sador's son and private secretary. and
for their cdihcation Willard gave A
regular sideshow in the reception room
Of the embassy, telescoping UP and
down apparently with tho greatest
ease. Page and Fowler inspected the
man carefully, feeling. his legs in an
attempt to find hidden springs or other
mechanical apparatus, but they were
finally convinced that he was only a
freak

pool recently. where he attended a ball

lie began growing, and suddenly the
dancers N he ballroom floor were
startled by a piercing shri,.. from the
