COLOMBIAN PAYMENT
BLACKMAIL, SAYS T. R.

Oyster Bay. y. Y, July 3.-Right to
the respect Of the American people will
be forfeited by the Wilson adminisrra-
ton II it passes the Columbian treaty,
including a provision for the payment
Of S25,O00,O00 according TO Col TheO-
dore Roosevelt in a statement which he
issued Thursday night.
Neither Mr.. Wilson nor Mr.. Bryan
can answer my statement" he said
The payment. If made. will be a naked
payment Of belated blackmal and the
mere proposal TO make IL is an outrage
on the honor and a heavy blow to the
interests Of the American people
There is small wonder that many
hundreds Of Americans in Mexico have
been endeavOrinE to become British,
German or French subjects in order TO
get some protection from some govern
ment-
An administration that will conclude
such a treaty as this for the payment
Of blacIlmail TO Colombia, has forfeited
the right to the respect Of the people
Of the United States"

How Uncle Sam Saves
Thousands of Lives
Depends Upon the Hot Springs of Arkansas to
Cure His Soldiers, Sailors and Citizens.

Many years ago. when Thomas JET
ferson was President, the T. 5 Gov
eminent awakened 20 the fact that
the Hot Springs OF Arkansas was the
most valuable asset in America for
the curing Of human ailments So all
Of these springs were set aside and
became park reserve, under the d.
rect control and supervision OF the
Government.
II is beyond comprehension The
thousands upon thousands OF lives
that have since been saved through
the healing powers OF these springs
The waters are so charged with "a
dium-knOwn technically as radio
activity-that they accomplish results
in the cure OF disease that would IN
DER other treatment be considered i'm
possible
The ailments that most readily
yield to these baths are rheumatism,
Govt. Neuralgia, Malaria. LocOmotOr
AtaXia earlier stages, Brights Dis
ease (When not too far advanced),
Liver and Bladder troubles. Catarrhal
troubles, Skin and Blood diseases,
troubles peculiar to women, and other
troubles Of nature kindred to those
above mentioned
Regarding these springs as Ameri-
cas- greatest gift TO the sick, the
Government has never allowed them
to be exploited for private gain The
prices charged for the baths are
strictly regulared-hotel charges are
extremely low, and every considera-
ton is afforded the visitor.
The city OF Hot Springs IS one Of
found anywhere in the world. and its
visitors are by no means confined 10

very bad. E. L. Luther and
Oscar Gunderson conducted the
meetings. Their talks were on
the proper method of potato
culture and what kinds were
better suited for this county.
IN another column read Mr..
Gunderson's "Field Notes" they
give you a tull account of both
meetings.
From the interest being shown
by the farmers our agricultural

ONE DAY OF "CLEAN UP"
Enterprising Citizens Have
Expressed Willingness to
Spend Friday May First in
Beautifying Streets and
Lawns.

II those, who have publicly ex-
pressed themselves the past week,
will follow what appeared above their
signatures, Eagle River will receive
one of the wort '.raking overs'' that
has ever fallen to the lot of any city,
village or hamlet.
Last week The Review inaugurated
a genuine old time ''clean upn cam
paign in Eagle River, and from the
numerous expressions which it pub
lished, there can be no doubt of the
outcome.
1t is an extra bully good move in
the right direction for cleaner,
naater little city, and The News here
by compliments The Review upon its
taking up of this question. 1t should
be absolutely success and it will
mean much for the betterment of the
town
The Review management asks the
people Of Eagle River to lay aside all
other work next Friday, May 1st, and
with your shovel hoe, rake, baskets
and teams make Il day of cleaning up
front yards, rear yards and any old
place where thrash and whatnot
generally thrives.
Every man and boy in the village
should labor to make this day a
success.
DON'T be dead one.

members and the Rural New
Yorker potato selected as the
leading one. Hans Hansen was
chosen as leader and Peter He
deem secretary and treasurer.
In both these meetings very
fine samples of various varieties
of potatoes were exhibited. The
stock grown in this section is
remarkably fine. The only draw
back is that seed is more or less
mixed, farmer sometimes hav-
ing several varieties together not
kno wing how to tell them apart.
In these meetings special stress
was paid to the Importance of
selecting one variety, and also
how to tell this variety from
others resembling it.
Next fall will witness a great
change in the stock marketed
due to this. Uniform stock al
ways commands better prices
than mixed stock.
This summer there win be six
teen plots of pure pee greed oats
in the county and twenty plots
of early purebred corn. These
should in a year make purebred
seed easily available to all. 1t
is as easy to grow good grains
as scrub stock.

court house last Friday was well
attended in spite of the bad
weather. The farmers seemed
attentive and earnest and we
believe much good was accomp-
lished.
At the close of the meeting a

Association was formed with 2l
members. The Association voted
to make the Rural New Yorker
the leading variety and select or
buy seed accordingly. Vim. Sal

1t is the plan to hold potato

SYNOPSIS.

Jackson Jones, nicknamed Broadway
because Of his continual glorihcation Of
New York's great thoroughfare, Is anx-
1ous to get away from his home town Of
Jonosville. Abner Jones, his uncle is
very angry because Broadway refuses to
settle down and take place in the gum
factory in which he succeeded to his
fathers interest. Judge Spotswood in
forms Broadway that $3.50. 900 left him by
his father Is at his disposal. Broadway
makes record time in heading for his
favorite street in New York. With his
New York friend, Robert Wallace, Broad
way creates a sensation by his extrava-
gance on the White Way. -Four years
pass and Broadway suddenly discovers
that he is not only broke. but heavily In
debt He applies to his uncle for loan
and receives a package Of chewing gum
with the advice to chew 1t and forget his
troubles. He quietly seeks work without
success. Broadway gives what is in
tended to be farewell supper to his New
York friends, and before It Is over be-
comes engaged to Mrs. Gerard, and an
cient widow, wealthy and very giddy.
Wallace expostulates with the aged flirt
and her youthful Aance, but fails to bet
ter the situation. He learns that Broad
way is broke and offers him a position
with his fathers advertising firm, but It
IS declined. Wallace takes charge OF
Broadway's affairs. Broadway receives
a telegram announcing the death of his
Uncle Abner in Europe. Broadway is his
sole heir. Peter Pembroke Of the Con
golidated Chewing Gum company offers
Broadway $1.2OO,000 for his gum plant and
Broadway agrees to sell.
