It must have grieved "Bobs" to learn
that Oora Paul got away with all that
money. .
Perhaps the powers will conclude to
let Japan and Russia do all the fighting
in China.
Oom Paul has lost his capital but ha
is still In possession of his treasury and
his big guns.
Lord Roberts must now begin the
tank of chasing the Boers across the
veldts and around the kops and back
again.
The result In Oregon appears to be
too much like that of two years ago for
anybody to get a great deal of satisfac
tion out of it.
It looks as though Governor Taylor
of Kentucky may be compelled to de
liver his campaign speeches through the
medium of the megaphone.
The refusal of the New Jersey Demo
crats to instruct for Bryan probably
grew out of their respect for a dis
tinguished citizen of that state named
Cleveland.
David B. Hill has established a claim
to the title of the great harmonizer. He
handled the convention of New York
Democrats In a manner satisfactory to
all parties concerned.
The colored people are a Uttle late
with their organization of a national
political party. Most of them have
been deprived of their franchise by re
cent constitutional changes i the south.
A question seems to have arisen as to
whether Lord Roberts is a great gen
eral or a great diplomat. It is hinted
that the surrender of Pretoria was
secretly arranged with the Boer lead
ers. It was but natural that Lord Roberts
should feel some regret at being com
pelled to cable the news of the capture
of another regiment of his men by the
Boers, along with the news of the fall
of Pretoria,
If the intention of the navy depart
ment Is to send the battleships Indiana
and Massachusetts to Chinese waters,
the trip will of course be made via the
Suez canal. In that case it might be
convenient to empower their comman
ders to collect that little bill from Tur
key while en route.
DEFEAT OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IN OREGON.
The proposed amendment to the con
stitution of Oregon, granting the fran
chise to women was defeated at the
election last Tuesday.
In the ten years from 1889 to 1899, the
women of Colorado, Utah fend Idaho
acquired the full right to vote. Illinois,
Connecticut and Ohio granted women
school suffrage. Minnesota permitted
them to vote for members of library
boards. Iowa gave them a very re
stricted right to vote on questions in
volving the issue of municipal bonds.
Louisiana empowered taxpaying wo
men to vote on all questions, submitted
to taxpayers.
But In the same ten years three dif
ferent suffrage bllla failed in Arizona,
three In Arkansas, two in South Da
kota, four in California, and four bills
Connecticut. In Delaware the consti-
out the word male. In Illinois four
: suffrage bills failed, and two failed in
Iinlian-a.
In Ohio a suffrage amendment was
, defeated, and two suffrage bills failed
, to pass. In the state of Washington
, a suffrage amendment was defeated at
j the polls, although in the territory of
AVashlngton woman's suffrage was the
! rule. Woman's suffrage was no more
i popular In Mississippi and Missouri
, tnan in Rhode Island and Vermont, no
i more popular in an old state like Maine
j than in a new state like South Dakota.
In 1$!5 all voters in Massachusetts,
' men and women, who were eligible to
I vote for school committees, were al-
? lowed to vote on the question: "Is it
expedient that municipal suffrage be
, granted to women?" Of the men, 86.970
voted yes and 186,976 no. Of the 575,
, 000 women entitled to vote more than
, 5&Q.000 declined to do so, and less than
4 per cent, voted yes. In Chicago, 29,
Sis women registered for the school
elections of 1S94. but 1,488 for those of
1898. In Cleveland, the woman's school
vote fell from 5,831 to 82 between 189
and lS'dS.
from the foregoing facts the Chicago
Inter-Ocean draws the conclusion that
women themselves are not In favor of
woman's suffrage.

Fir Could Not Have) Been More
Painful.
" After spending two years in tak
ing all kinds of medicines that were
suggested for eczema, but without
avail, my mother was induced to take
Hood's SarsapariUa. The result was
wonderfully gratifying. Her limbs
had been terribly lacerated by the dis
ease, and there were times when fire
could not have been more painful.
She was, in fact, almost wild. Two
bottles of Hood's SarsapariUa com
pletely cured her, and not a traee of
eczema was left." E. W. Deckek,
Gardiner, N. Y.
Eat Well; Sleep Well.
" Hood's SarsapariUa has been a
great blessing to me. I was weak,
irritable, tired and nervous; had no
appetite and was always sad and des
pondent. One day I got hold of a
little book about Hood's SarsapariUa.
I looked it over and resolved to try a
bottle. I was better before it was
gone, so I kept on until 1 had taken
five bottles. I can now sleep well,
feel cheerful and can do all my work,
including pluin sewing, and I can
walk two or three mile3 a day. I am
65 years old and now feel that life is
worth living." Mrs. Emma Smith,

Critical Period of Life. ,
I took Hood's SarsapariUa during

at the age of 60 years, I am strong

for the blood. I find Hood's to- be the
best." Mrs. H. Pomroy, 22 Lansing

PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
The Official Call For State Meeting: is
Issued by Committee.
The Prohibition party in Kansas will
hold its state convention in representa
tive hail, Topeka, on Wednesday, June
20th, commencing at 9 o'clock a. m. A
state ticket will be nominated, a platform
adopted, the party reorganfzed, delegates
to the national convention at Chicago ap
pointed, and such other business trans
acted as shall be necessary to prepare
campaign.
As many counties in the state are un
organized, the committee are very anxious
that every part of the state should be rep
resented in the convention. We, there
fore, suggest that the friends in each lo
cality should consult together and secure
as full representation as possible. We in
vite Women's Christian - Temperance
Unions whom we gladly, recognize as po
tential allies in our work to send dele
gates. We ask the true-hearted women of
Kansas, who represent the home of the
state, to come.
We invite every one who is ready to
ally himself with the only party that
stands firmly and unflinchingly for the
prohibition of the liquor traffic, in state
and nation, to come with us, and aid In
its overthrow.
Prohibition is the supreme issue in our
state. The honor of Kansas la imperiled
Her laws are nullified, and her constitution
disregarded. Her political leaders prac
tically ignore Prohibition. The party in
power has signally failed to fulfill its
pledges to enforce the law.
In many of our cities and villages li
quors are freely sold, while comparatively
little effort is made by the officials to pre
vent it. We must call a halt and snow
politicians and liquor men that we mean
business. The friends of Prohibition must
be loyal and true to their principles. We
must come together, with one accord in
God's name throw our banner to the
breeze and rally around it!
Hon. Oliver W. Stewart, our newly ap
pointed national chairman, will attend
the convention and address a mass meet
ing in representative hall on Wednesday
evening. It will be worth a trip to To
peka to hear him. Other speakers will
address the convention, and good music
will enli"en all the sessions.
The state central committee will meet
on Tuesday (19) at 3 o'clock p. m. Every
member of the committee should be pres
ent at that meeting, without fail.
Reduced rates will be secured on the
railroads, and at hotels, of which due no
tice will be given in The Fulcrum and
other papers.
By order state central committee.

FELL FROM WHEEL DEAD
Sudden Death of A. Patten, a
Cyclist, at Noon Today.
Andy Patten, a colored man, fell from
his bicycle at Tenth and Kansas ave
nues at noon today and died almost in
stantly. Patten, who was a horse traded, was
riding his bicycle south on Kansas ave
nue and turned west on Tenth street.
He had ridden but about 50 feet west
when he suddenly pitched headlong
from his wheel and did not move after
striking the ground. Henry Steel and
James Richardson saw him fall. They
carried him to the shade of a building
and endeavored to revive him. He
breathed once or twice and was dead.
Coroner Hogeboom wa called and had
the body removed to the undertaking
establishment of De Moss & Penwell,
where an inquest will be held.
Patten probably died from heart fail
ure. It was thought at first that he
had been injured by the fall. He was
a well known colored man.
BAKING PROBLEM SOLVED.
A Method of Indefinitely Keeping
Fresh the Oven's Best Products,
Though American bakers have for
years excelled, many of their daintiest
creations could never be enjoyed at
their best because it had been impos
sible to protect them from moisture,
odors, dust or germs and keep them
fresh until they reached the consumer.
Now an American's inventive genius
has intervened, and it is possible to
have the best efforts of the best bakers
in the world as fresh ana as dainty as
if just from tne oven, and to have them
in any season and anwhere up in the
rigorous Alaskan climate, in the heat
of the Indies, in the moisture-charged
atmosphere of the seacoast, or the mild
temperature of the Ir, terior--just as
fresh, crisp and delicate as if bought
the day they were baked ir. the famous
bakeries of the great cities.
This invention is known as the "In-er-seal
Patent Package." It is protected
by law and is made of specially pre
pared cardboard, so cut that it folds
into a box jUBt big enough to hold the
biscut for which it is designed. It is
lined with a delicate waterproof paper
that is the actual wrapper of the eon
tents, and the placing of thispaper and
the cardboard around the biscuit, in the
form of a box, without the use of paste
or nails, or metal clamps or cords is a
wonder in itself. The exterior is still
further protected with a label sheet
designating the contents, the end being
sealed with the "In-er-seal" trade mark
design now so familiar to all newspaper
readers.
This trademark design Is one that was
adopted advisedly, for It is a sealed
and inersealed package. It is so sealed
outside and inside that it would be
imoossible for moisture to enter,
though the package were exposed to a
London fog, or an April shower; im
possible for dust to get in even if a
cyclone carried it along; impossible for
odors of the mackerel barrel or the
meat block to get in, even if left out
in their odorous company; impossible
for a germ to enter, because the bis
cuits are packed at the ovenside all
the good sealed in; all the bad sealed
out.
The "In-er-seal Patent Package" Is
controlled and used exclusively by the
National Biscuit company, the origi
nators of the famous Uneeda Biscuit
and other TTneeda products, much of
the lame of whieh resulted from the
protection of this wonderful package.
This alone is sufficient testimony of its
ability to keep good things good.
THEY REACH StTpAUL.

O..L Hood & Co. Victorious) in Im
portant Cases . Injunction
Against Br. J. O. Hood.
Important suits have Just been de
cided in the t'nited States circuit court
involving the right to the word Hood
or Hood's. Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co.,
of Lowell, Mass., proprietors of Hood's
SarsapariUa, began suit for infring
ment against Dr. J. C. Hood of Louis
ville, Ky., who was putting up what
he called "Dr. Hood's SarsapariUa."
After a hearing in the United States
circuit court at Louisville, Judge Evans
on April 12 granted a temporary in
junction in tavor of O. I. Hood & Co.,
and restraining J. C. Hood from using
the word Hood in any way or form on
any preparation of sa aparilla.
Messrs. C. I. Hood & Co. also began
suit against a retail druggist in Indian
apolis, Louis H. Renkeit. who was sell
ing Dr. J. C. Hood's SarsapariUa. Dr.
J. C. Hood employed counsel and made
a defense, but Judge Baker of the
United States circuit court granted an
injunction which on April 23 became
perpetual.
These two decrees establish the ex
clusive right of C. I. Hood & Co. to the
word "Hood's" and declce In effect that
no other person can put up a Hood's
SarsapariUa even if his name is Hood,
nor can any retail druggist sell or offer
for sale any sarsapariila bearing the
name Hood or Hood's other than that
prppared by C. I. Hood & Co.
These decisions will be gratifying to
every fair minded pei-son. No manu
facturer should object to fair competi
tion, but where an attempt is made to
steal or Infringe upon a business which
has been established by great skill,
labor and expenditure, justice cannot
be dealt out too quickly. Nor should
"substitution" be allowed, when a stan
dard nrtiele is ealled for. Therefore,
when you go to buy Hood's SarsapariUa
you should be sure to get "only
Hood's."

Milwaukee, June 7. An evening
Wisconsin social from Green Bay
says: A terrible accident occurred
near Stockbridge on the Oneida Indian
reservation which resulted In the kill
ing of eight men and one child.
According to t,he story as brought' in
from the reservation a woman went out
into the yard where several little chil

and chopped off its head with an axe.
She left the axe on the ground. Im
mediately on her returning to the house
one of the children suggested that they
play chicken and proceeded to carry
out the suggestion.
Uhe youngest child was selected to act
the part of the chicken. The child was
seized and its head placed on a block
and hacked off.
A number of men were engaged on a
derrick in the yard raising heavy tim
bers in the erection of a barn. As soon
as the men above noticed the child be
ing beheaded they became panic strick
en and in the confusion, the heavy tim
bers which were being raised fell with

tion to Kansas City.

day easily surpassed in attendance and
enthusiasm any similar gathering of
that party ever held in Colorado. More
than 1,000 delegates Including two
Arapahoe county delegations of 164
members each wer assembled In the
Tabor Grand Opera House at 10:30
o'clock, the hour at which the conven
tion was to meet. As the Arapahoe
contest will have to be decided by the
convention after investigation by the
committee on credentials, it is beileved
that the convention will last two days.
Of the 723 delegates from outside Den
ver and Arapaho county who will de
termine which faction in this city is
entitled to be considered the regular
organization the supporters of Governor
Thomas claim assurances of 425 votes
while the Maloney delegates claim 6O0.
Whatever the outcome of the contest
may be it is probable that Governor
Charles S. Thomas will head the Colo
rado, delegation to the national conven
tion and that T. J. Maloney and T. J,
O'Donnell will also be chosen as dele
gates. Other candidates are A. T. Oun
nell of Colorado Springs. T. B. Collier
of Trinidad, Charles Henkle of Pueblo,
George Robson of Clear' Creek, James
Doyle of Victor and G. R, Fitzgerald of
San Miguel.
The convention may decide to elect
the state's entire representation of
eight in the national convention as del
egates at large.
It was nearly noon when State Chair
man Milton Smith called the convention
to order and introduced Col. B. F. Mont
gomery of Cripple Creek as temporary
chairman. Chairman Montgomery addressed the
convention briefly, predicting the suc
cess of the party, not only in Colorado,
but in the nation. His mention of W.
J. Bryan as already the presidential
nominee of the party was greeted with
prolonged cheers.
The chairman said that in accordance
with an agreement, the committee on
credentials would be chosen, one from
each county, by the delegations. The
roll was called and the committee an
nounced and a recess was taken until 4
