Lyndon A. Smith, candidate for A.

This campaign is one involving the
continuation of the Republican party
in power in this state. One OF the

Lee Fitted For Office.
mot only has the life of Mr.. Lee
been one which has fitted him for .
high public place, but his ideas. n
stated in his platform, are thoroughly
in accord with the demands OF the
present. A prominent plank Is Z
promise of the administration of the
affairs of the state in a business way,
so that no interest shall be sacrificed,
but each interest shall be cared for
as. economically as possible and each
officer and employe Of the state rem

which he is capable. Another plank
in the platform is the county option
plank.

1T is said that county option il IN

all the saloons are closed up. but If IL
goes wet you can still have prohfbk
ton In the towns and villages. This
argument Is entirely unsOund. Did
not this state go wet" twenty years
ago, and did not this state, when Il
went wet" still have prohibition IN
every town that wanted it, Why did
not the liquor interests demand that
because 1t went wet" there should be
no prohibition anywhere II it had
gone dry" there would have been no
saloons anywhere.
Farmers Taxed For Saloon Paupera
Are the farmers not to have any
voice In deciding the saloon question:
You can not build slaughter-house
In your block without consulting the
people around you, because you can
not confine the odors to your own
land. And yet you would establish .
saloon and fill the air with poison and
then say to the people who must
breathe 1t and suffer from It that they
have no right to protest When you
fight county option you ought to have
arguments to present, and no arsu-
ments have as yet been advanced
against 1t. The farmers have beea
taxed without representation. They
have been taxed to support tho pau
pers turned out by the saloon.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition Of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
91ammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caus-
ed by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by

lars, free.

SUSPENDED ANIMATION.
IF This Scientist Succeeds We Will
Have a New Economic Era.

If This Scientist Succeeds We Will
Have a New Economic Era.
A remarkable suggestion is advanced
by Russian scientist. Could the vital
functions of animals be completely sus-
pended for a period and then restored
to full vigor an economic revolution
would result. The stock on the farm
which yields no profit in the winter.
such as bees and sheep. might literally
be laid aside until spring. costing moth
ing during the unproductive season and
yielding profit as soon as they be-
gan to incur expense.
The cost of shipping live stock of all
kinds would fall to the irreducible mini
mum. With vital functions suspended
all kinds of animals, birds and fish
could be made to occupy the smallest
possible space in the transporting vehi-
Gle and carried without injury to them
selves or of any deterioration in their
food value. to be received in full flesh
and vigor at the end Of the journey or
when needed for use.
Such hiatus in the existence of man
could it be brought about successfully
would add materially to his apparent
life span and tide him over many criti-
cal periods.
Such are the thoughts occupying the
mind Of the Russian scientist, who is
making exhaustive experiments along
the very lines which suggest them. He
has succeeded in suspending the vital
functions of lower organisms by dry
ing and restoring them by the applica-
ton of moisture
He has accomplished the same ends
In some insects by submitting them to
varying degrees Of low temperature
and afterward applying heat.
Now he is gradually ascending in
the scale of life. but with the frank
confession that he dares not hope that
his successes will reach the height to
which lie aspires. Herald

"The ski runner sweeps down the

4 Surprise That Startled Visitor In
Tiny COTTAGE.

y
A remarkable and amusing expert
ence is related by Frances NJ. GosliIg
in THE Bretons at Home" The au-
thor says:
II had gone with my husband to fiEd
barber. 1t was dusk when we en-
tered the one room of the tiny cottage,
and work was over for the day. The
last customer sat idly in corner gos-
siplng with the BARRIERS wife, while
the man of raZors himself was idly
glancing over last weeks newspaper.
1t was too dark to see the details of
the room, but l managed to find an
oak chest in front Of a bed and sat
down to watch proceedings.
ut was curious sight. In the mid
die Of the room sat my Englishman in
his light tweed suit, towel round his
neck. his face covered with ghostly
cleaning lather. In front Of him stood
the BARRIERS wife, lighted candle in
her hand to guide her husband in his
work; finally, his thin cadaverous face
almost touching that Of his victim, the
barber himself, his left hand holding
my husband now by the nose. now by
the chin.
Suddenly behind me heard move
ment and felt warm little hand on
the back of my neck. There was
smothered laugh. and turned to see
pair of eyes twinkling at me from the
depths of the cupboard bed against
which | was sitting
"'Taisez yous donc!' growled the
barber mildly. still intent on his work.
But the laugh had broken the charm.
From every corner came rustlings, gig
giles. little voices and shining merry
eyes And everywhere there were beds
beds full of boys and girls!
"'Why. however many children have
your l asked as soon as the bewilder
ment Of finding myself surrounded by
this crowd of onloollers allowed me to
speak
".Fourteen, madam replied the wo-
man.
"'The house is. so small that we con-
sole ourselves by the size Of our fam
ily,' remarked the barber loosely. at
which there was much merriment in
