c w. MILLER FOR SENATOR

The Oakley Graphic last week has
this, and Hays City would be pleased
to have him run: &C. w. Miller of
Hays, is being mentioned quite FREE
quently as candidate for State Sena-
tor, and taking quick look at it why
not? He has been staunch~ Repnb-
lican for many years and last year
pulled Ellis county over into the Re-
publican ranks, for which feat he
deserves a chrome and the Republi-
can nomination for the State Senate
We subscribe TO every werd of Broth
er Youngs'. If there is one Republi-
can in Western Kansas, who deserves
to be honored at the hands of the O.
o. p. its our fellow citizen and peer
less Republican leader G. w. Miller.
Ellis County News.
The Free Press heartily endorses
the favorable mention made by the
Oakley Graphic and the Ellis County
News, of G. w. Miller as candidate
for state senator; and from our view
point it would be good politics TO
give him the nomination without OPP
position He will be sure to carry
Ellis county at the election, which
would place him in advance or any
other republican that could be
nominated.-Hays Free Press.

Joe jackson For National Delegate

In the list of people being promin-
emily mentioned for delegates TO the
National convention we find the
name of our townsman, joe Jackson.
This paper does not hesitate single
instant to announce that il is for Joe
Jackson first, last and all the time.
Joe is strictly alright and has been
in Kansas long enough to to know
the kind of man Kansas and her peo-
pie will support at the coming cleo
tion. For the past quarter of a
century he has been quite prom
inent in Sixth district politics and
has a wide following over the state
that will insure his election if he
viii permit the use of his name. As
yet we have not talked it over with
him but he is broad minded and lib
eral enough to suit the most radical
and it is TO be hoped that he will get
into the race.
G. w. Hall, of Russell, t.. w. Ben
jamin of st. Francis and Cal Jones of
Smith Center are also being talked of
and are all good men.-Lincoln Re-
publican.
Joe is mighty fine fellow and we
see no reason why the voters should
not line up for him.

Cure Hog Cholera

The word cure is seldom used in
connection with hog cholera. Why?
Because of the frequent failures. But
we use the word cure and guarantee
that B. A. Thomas Hog Powder will
cure 90 hogs out of 100. The record
today is little over 100, so we guar
antee 90.
We don't care what others may
think or say. We know what we are
doing and will sell you B. A. Thomas
Hog Powder, guaranteeing that it
will save 9 out of ten hogs. 1t is
medicine-straight medicine. 1t is
because it's straight medicine that it
cures 50 times in 100.

CAN YOU GUESS

State Superintendent Ross reports
a sur plus of 700 teachers for the
state At first glance one is prone to
feel this vocation over-supplied but
when he considers that this means
but an average of Z for each county
he readily sees that conditions are
not different from other professions.
If one has choice of sixty teachers
or more he wants the privilege of
casting out a half dozen or SO.

that all teachers should be good

his listeners from Trego. Seriously

he emphasizes the good in good
looking, he is right. Thousands of
the best and most divinely- gifted
teachers would not be awarded the
prize for beauty at county fair, but
goodness shines out of their eyes and

ed a fee of five hundred dollars from
a firm for legal advice in a GER

He paid his fine and served his time.
John Dawson, while attorney general

CATARRH CAUSED

Medicine taken into the stomach will never cure catarrh. And neither will the sprays. touches, lotions, creams and other temporary reliefs that so using. To cure cataTrh so 1t won't come back you must first drive from your body the millions of germs that arc flourishing in the inner recesses of your nose and throat and are causing the disease.
 this called Hyomei (pronounced High o-me). Hyomei is a germ killing va porlzed air formed from the purest oil Of Eucalyptus combined with other healing and antiseptic ingredients. You breathe HyOmei through the mouth and nose by means of a little hard rubber inhaler which druggists furnish with 1t. This nledicated gernicidaI air pen etra teS into every fold and creVice of the mucous membrane of your nose that lodge there, soOtheS, reduces and heals the swollen inflamed membranes, stops the discnarge and opens up the cloSSed nose and air passages in a truly wonderful way. It gives blessed relief in five minutes from catarrhal distress of every kind and if you make 9 practice of breathing Hyomei for few minutes each day for just a few weeks not only will all the symptoms of catarrh vanish but the disease itself will be a thing of the past. No one need try. or buy Hyomei on pure faith.

ENVY AND JEALOUSY
DiWinely Rebuked in Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard-Sermon by Rev. M. p. Calvin.

Yesterday was Septuagesima Sunday 'n the Catholic church, about seventy days before Easter. The epistle read was 1 Cor. TX 24 to x ,. The gospel was Matt. XN, 1-16, the parable of the laborers in the vineyard.
 The preacher at the high mass in St. Patrick's church was Rev. MyIes P. Calvin, who said that while this parable has received several interpre- tations, 9 commonplace one might be that it is a divine rebuke to envy and jealousy. The preacher emphasized the evils of the sin of envy, which caused the first fratricide and has re- suited in evil in all ages.
 He pointed out the Christians oblf- gation to remedy this moral disease by showing a more generous spirit toward his neighbor, Q, determination to see his virtues. not his faults. and to curb all feelings of jealousy at his success. This will have the effect of winning the approval of Almighty God Who will not fail, too. to prove more liberal

ACCIDENTAL OVERDOSE
 OF HYPNOTIC DRUGS
Assigned as the Cause of Death of Ed-
 ward G, Andrews.

After the autopsy in the case of Ed ward G. Andrews. whose death occur red suddenly on Friday morning at the store of the James F. Cosgrove com pany, Medical Examiner Rush w. hImball has returned the finding that death was caused by an accidental overdose of hypnotics, which are such drugs as are used in headache powders. The autopsy showed that none of the organs of the body were diseased nor illness.
 It was learned that on account of feeling unwell during the morning he had taken some medicine of which @ component part was one of these hyp- notic drugs. He had peculiar suscep- ubillty to these and had once before been in an alarming condition after taking such a remedy. This was last summer, and at that time 8 doctor was summoned to restore his vitality.
