HIS NON-AFPEARANCE
 CAUSED SOME ANXIETY
(Ruby Record -Citizenl

William McConn arrived in Ruby yester- day from Idltarod. Arriving at Ophr sev- ertl weeks ago, McConn concluded to do some prospecting on the lnnoko, opposite Yankee creek, but neglected to mention it or leave word at Ophir No record of his having travelled this way from Ophir caused Tom Hanon, who made the trip from Idlt- arod two weeks later, to make inquiries, and thus report became current that something might have happened to him. Mr. McConn says he feels that he owes an apclogy to his friends for his neglect in not leaving word at the roadhouse of his in tentions. But he is safe and sound and it may never occur aga!n.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
 TO BE HELD IN SEWARD

That the Republican territorial conven- tion will be held i'll Seward in March is ap- parently regarded as a settled fact by W. A. Gilmore, who ran as the Republican candl- date for congress in the last election but one, says the Seward Gateway. In letter to a member of the Gateway staff MT. Gilmore states positively that he will be in Seward in that month as delegate, and the only deduction possible is that he knows by communication with other leading Repub- licans that Seward has been chosen as the convention city already.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises

Here in America there is much suffering
from catarrh and head noises. American
people would do well to consider the
method employed by the English to COM
bat this insdious disease Everyone
knows how damp the English climate is
aud how dampness affects those suffering
from catarrh. In England they treat ca
tarrhal deafness and head noises as a con-
stitutiOnal disease and use an internal
remedy for it that is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear Il
watch tick tell how they had their hear
ing restored by this English treatment to
such an extent that the tick Of a watch
was plainly audible seven and eight inches
away from either ear.
Therefore. if you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh. cararrhal deaf

been the means of saving some poor suf-

1t is expected that there will be at
least 1000 wv men and women for
gathering and renewing old times on
Washburn campus June 4.
Among the big surprises planned for
the ''old grads will be the Com

at the Mills building-No speeches al
lowed-the students, former students
and almuni will flock back to the
campus. The campus is to be illumi-
mated by hundreds of electric lights
and Japanese lanterns. The buildings
will be decorated and open for inspec-
ton. At different places along the
walk there will probably be booths or
stages where the promenaders will re-
ceive free entertainment. The stud
ents and co-eds of 1915 will pair off
and exchange greetings with the old
grad and his former coed wife of the
class of 1880 Free refreshments will
probably be served at different points
in and around the campus and a gen.
eral informal high jinks reunion" will
be held.

Will Fight Germans "Under
Stars and Stripes"

New York, May 22.-Nine thousand
men of the United States will fight
under the stars and stripes" when the
American legion takes the field against
the Germans in July.
The battalions sail from Canada this
week and in the bosom pocket of each
soldier lies the American colors, to be
hoisted on bayonet and over trenches
in Belgium and France.
Officers and men of the American
legion, training in Toronto, are conf
dent the great offensive of the allies
will begin on July Is. No attempt is
made to conceal this report.
The anxiety of the large body from
the United States to participate in the
war is attested by Captain Edwin
Bower Hesser, 212th battalion, a staff
officer whose home is in New York
city and who was forced to give up
his studio in Washington Square on
today.

Hesser said. 1T was reported that
we were to sail on a specified day last
week but that was not true. We sail
the week of May %. For many rea-
sons the date will not be announced -
Captain Hesser is newspaper man
and artist, having drawn and painted
most of the recruiting posters which
enliven the streets of Canadian cities
I'VE feel we are but Americans of

the $4,000 Canadians who fought in
the Civil war; he said.
There is a lot of comment about
our use of the American flag on our
mblem,' he went on. 1.-The point is
much misunderstood. 1t is not true
that the United States coat of arms
is combined with the British to make
up the badge, but the stars and stripes
are introduced. That is, the original
coat of arms of George Washington S
family, which was the basis for the
American flag, is combined with the

The Indiana women quietly went
ahead with their plans Today's spe-
ciaI train would be done an injustice if
mention only were made of the Pull

duties incident to presiding over
Americas most interesting gathering

Mrs. Earl affects soft grays and law

her beautiful, abundant white hair.
On one occasion she will wear a hand

trained and set off by diamonds in her

directors of the general federation who

Miss Grace Fisher Swings Leay.
enworth County to Suffrage
By Conduct of Office of Clerk of
District Court.
KEPT CAMPAIGN PROMISES
Reduced Number of Clerks and
Cut Salaries.
Then Broke More Precedents by
Returning Interest Money.

1t took a woman to put economy in
county offices over in Leavenworth
county, where in past years extrava-
gance has been the keynote. For in
stance il he st three years two
county officers have voluntarily con-
fessed to misrepresentation of funds
and suits are pending against half
dozen former officers for fees alleged
to belong in a place other than their
pockets.
But this is rapidly becoming a thing
of the past and real economy, not
good fellowship, is the quality de-
manded of candidates in Leavenworth
county since Miss Grace Fisher was
elected clerk of the district court.
Representative B. F. Endres of Leav-
enworth county is in Topeka today ar
guing a habeas corpus case in the SUI
preme court and at the National hotel
this morning outlined the remarka BILE
work done by Miss Fisher.
Suffrage Would Garry.
"Leavenworth county," said Mr..
Endres, did less for the suffrage
cause in the way of votes than al
most any county in Kansas. Since
Miss Fisher was elected clerk of the
district court two years ago, equal
suffrage submitted to a Leavenworth
county electorate would carry by a
big majority. 1t is probable there will
be no real opposition to her re-elec-
tino this fall
Miss Fisher, for a number of years
deputy clerk, was elected clerk of the
district court, and aside from being
the first woman elected to an office,
she did something unusual over our
way-she kept a promise made to the
voters. In short, she reduced the ex-
of 1r1ir fhn
candidates promised to do this, but
| Miss Fisher actually stuck to her
i-promise.
Cut Down Clerk Hire
THE first thing she did after en-
tering Office was to dispense with one
of the court clerks, doing the work
| herself. She merely employed one
assistant and instead of paying the
| assistant SIPS a month as permitted
the treasury for the salary of an
assistant.
| The county treasurer came near
| having a stroke of apoplexy a few
months after Miss Fisher entered Of
flee when she presented him with $40.
What is this for?' he asked.
More Than Self Supporting.
1T was explained that it was in
| terest money under her control as
clerk of the court and she felt the
| taxpayers were entitled to it. She
has been turning in about $50 interest
each month since, something no court
clerk in Leavenworth county ever did
| in years past
Miss Fisher charges up fees to all
alike and when collected they are
turned into the county treasury on the
last day of the month. Since she be-
came clerk the Office is not only self
sustaining but there is a surplus for
the taxpayers If nearly a hundred dol
| lars a month"

SAY CHARGES UNTRUE
Answer to Kirkpatrick Mandamus
Filed in Supreme Court.

Charges of INSTRUMENTATION in office,
formation of political cliques and mis-
use of funds of the Knights & Ladies
of Security lodge are untrue, accord
ing to an answer filed in the supreme
court by defendant officers in a suit
for writ of mandamus. The suit was
filed by W. B. kirkpatrick, president;
against John v. Abrahams, secretary;
A. w. Fulton, Frank Bonebrake, and
r. D. McCliman.
In his suit for a writ, Kirkpatrick
sought to compel the defendant Of
ficers to accept names of committees
certified by him. His petition charged
the defendants with mismanagement
of the affairs of the national society
and with the formation of CLIQUE to
control the offices and dictate the
policies of the order All of these
charges are denied in the answer filed
by the defendants
AS counter charge it is urged by
the defendants that Kirkpatrick has
himself been responsible for many of
the acts charged by him. 1t is assert
ed that action being taken in matters
at this time should have been taken in
1912 and that kirkpatrick has acted
in violation of his oath of office and
in manner that is not for the best
interests of the order

PICKED UP LIVE WIRE
Leland Turnbull Sues the Edison
Company for $1,000.

Twenty-three hundred volts of cleo
tricity passed through the body of ten
year-old Leland Turnbull, according
to petition filed by him in the district
court, and because of the shock he
asks for $1,000 from the Topeka Edi-
son company.
The petition alleges that the boy
picked up a live wire while playing
in his own back yard at TO Hun
toon street, in June of last year; that
the wire was not insulated and that
he suffered a shock from which he
did not recover for several months.
The action for damages is brought in
