SHORTOF DOPE

Washington, D. C, Oct. ilz-Demo. efats were amused at the report cir culated today that the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee will not text book this year be cause Of the failure of the committee to agree on the line of attack.
 The split occurred, it is stated, when one element sought to assail the Underwood-S tariff law and the banking and currency act. Several members Of the Republican organization voted for these two measures, as did many other Repub- Ieans, and they refused to condemn laws which they had approved.
 Republicans secretly admit that thev have absolutely 10 basis for criticising the Wilson Administra- ton or the record of the Democrats in Congress, and least of all the tariff and currency laws, both of which have been commended to the country.
 Until the European war drove them off the front pages Of even stand-pat Republican organs. d small coterie of Republicans in the House and Sen ate crowded the Congressional Record with panic speeches plait ly intended for use in their text books
 But the hopedzfor panic did not ma +erialize and the minority has been at loss for campaign ammunition. Opposition to the war revenue meas ure is now being used as eleventh hour @talking point
 The country is with Wilson and any attempt to critieise him or his record would only make us ridieu- loas. said one Republican today Unless the Democrats are apathet- ic in November or remain away from the polls because of oyerconfidenee, can see only repitition of the results of two years ago.
 We cannot attack the currency law, for it's worth has been proved within the last few weeks. It would be foolhardy to attempt to convince the people that they should return Q the Payne-Aldrich tariff classifica tions. They would laugh at us.
 In the meantime the Democratic Co gressional Campaign Committee is keeping a force of committee employ ees busy filling orders for the Demo cratic text book. containing the unas- sailable record of achievements of Ithe Wilson administration.

If the people in the cotton growing section of the state would exercise good judgment and not give their whole attention to growing cotton they would not now be calling on the country for help. The rich alluyial cotton lands of this state will grow the finest corn. wheat and other grains in the world. and it is q mys- tery why the farmers in those sec tjons do not give some attention to these crops.

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed II people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat Of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was a regular modern rihed
gun, and fired shells-also homemade
ON each Of which was stamped,
with compliments of G. ]. Rhodes
The Beers themselves were not with
out a m of humor. During Christ.
mas, 1899, they were besieging Lady
smith, and on Christmas eve they fired
ten plugged shells into the town each
with a piece of plum pudding inside,
and each bearing the words, With the
seasons compliments"
Two of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home,
made. having been cast in a foundry
at johannesburg.

soTTUM HANDS DOWN DECISION.
Potter County Cases Decided In Get.
tysburq Court.

Gettysburg.-JuGge Bottum has ren-
dered his decision in the two cases by
Potter county against c. +. O'Brian,
eX-county treasurer, to ecove $500
paid the treasurer as fees on county
court house bond money disbursed
by them during their terms of office.
The suits were ordered by the state
executive accountant after an exam.
ination of the books a year ago. The
treaSurers took the position that the
payment of the money to them, in ad.
dition to their salaries, was voluntary
by the county, upon a bill duly pre-.
scented to and allowed by the board OF
county commissioners in the regular
dispatch of business, but the court
held that the act of the commissioners
in allowing the bill for money which
the claimants were not entitled to re-
ceive was ultra wires and not binding
on the county. Stays Of proceedings
for the purpose of appeal have been
taken in both cases.

Alexandria.-The burning OF the
Hanson county court house IS years
ago and the destruction of county
records will delay by many weeks the
return to America of q former resi-
dert Ct H"rscn county, who now is o
missionary in Egypt,
Among the records destroyed was
that relating to the granting of citi'
zenship papers. Henry Smith, a pio-
neer resident of Hanson county, was
among those who toAx out his citizen
ship papers during the early days, and
the record of this was in the book
which was destroyed in the fire. He
now is a resident of California. One
Of his sons is a missionary in Egypt
and desires to return to the United
States. Not having evidence that he
is an American citizen, a passport to
leave the country has been refused
him.
He cabled to his father, who COM
municated with the authorities in Han
son county, when it vas discovered
that the record of his citizenship had
been burned. Had it not been for this
his sons would legally have become
citizens upon attaining the e Of p.
Before the passport can be issued to
the son in Egypt it will be necessary
for the father to make a applica-
lion in the Hanson county circuit court
for citizenship, and under the law the
application cannot be acted upon Of
ficially by the Judge of the circuit
court until the January term Of court.
Therefore not until after that time
will it be possible for the son in Egypt
to produce evidence that he is an
American citizen and accordingly it
doubtless will be late in January or
the forepart of February before he is
able to secure his passport and leave
Egypt for the United States.

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get a jar OF
resinol ointment and a cake of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor.
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with q
light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-AGy.
