WON THEIR CONFIDENCE The New York Realty Journal | prints an editorial on the political situation that may well command the serious attention of Republicans in every state. To see a newspaper in New York printing words of praise I for Mr. Bryan is no common sight so there is doubl e significance in the fact that not only is the Evening Post conceding Bryan’s strength and praising him in strong words, but; The Realty Journal, which claims to 1 be the “recognized organ of the tax- i payers of the stat e of New York,” is | speaking openly in Bryan’s favor. The Hoosier reproduces a portion of The Realty Journal's editorial for the purpos e of impressing upon Republicans the fact that some of the unfriendly sentiment toward the Nebraska leader has disappeared; that he has friends in the country of the “enemy,” and that efforts this year will have to be doubled if a Democratic victory is averted. The Realty Journal says: “We have contended, as reference to our editorial columns will prove, that there no longer exists any antagonism in the ranks of legititmate business men of the country to Mr. Bryan, who has won the entire confidence of the business community. Mr. Bryan is only opposed by the members of the special privileges part, as is President Roosevelt. The special privileges party is made up of a membership that thrives on illigitimate business interests, as opposed to the legitimate business interests of the country. We agree with The Evening Post in its laudation of Bryan. We may state that we look upon Bryan and

• ' '' ' ? * Peruna W, ’ < is a Healthful g Tonk And W' ... § Catarrh . 1II!f Remedy. HON. W. E. ANDREWS.

Nebraska has furnished to our National Congress gome of the brightest minds that havo ever adorned that great national legislature. Men of push and fire, men of great oratorical and intellectual resources, men who have done much to shape the destinies of the great western section of our country. Among these modern statesmen of that versatile, American type, is Hon. W. E. Andrews, of Hastings, Nebraska. Hon. Andrews was formerly Vice President of Hastings College, and established an excellent record as a promulgator of public education before he became a member of Congress. Speaking of Peruna, he says:

‘ 7 cheerfully recommend the preparation, Peruna, as a healthful tonic and a successful remedy for catarrh in its various forms. ”—Hon. W. E. Andrews.

Hon. Thomas Cale, who was elected to Congress from Alaska, is well known on the Pacific slope, where he has resided. His Washington address is 1312 Ninth street, N. W., W ashington, D. C. Congressman Cale writes of Peruna: “I can cheerfully recommend Peruna as a very efficient remedy for coughs and colds.” Some people prefer to take tablets rather than to take medicine in a fluid form. Such people can obtain Peruna tablets, which represent the medicinal ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet is equivalent to one average doee of Peruna.

Roosevelt as two of our greatest Americans, and whichever of the two is elected our next president, the legitimate business interests of the country will be safe; that is, they will no longer be made to suffer from the ■ exactions of the special priviletges party interests. I “We hav e been singularly fortunate ! jn our political predictions in the past, las has been evidenced in our past editorials which we have reproduced from tim P to time. We now make i another prediction ,and we hope to .reproduce this editorial in November next to show we were right or wrong, namely, we predict that Bryan ar I Roosevelt will be the next president of the United States.” —The Hoosier.

i Hon. C. Slemp, Congressman from I Virginia, whose home address is Big Stone Gap, Va., writes: “I can cheerfully say that I have used your valuable remedy, Peruna, with beneficial results, and can unhesitatingly recommend your remedy to my friends as an invigorating tonic and an effective and permanent cure for catarrh.” Mr. Boss Craig,Fork Vale, Tenn.,had catarrh of the head for two years and had abandoned all hope of being cured, but to his surprise Peruna cured him sound and well.

Hyomej Gives Relief in Ten Minutes — Cures Over Night. Everybody knows, or ought to know, that Hyomei is recognized among scientists as the specific for Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Hay Fever, but there are a great many people who do not know that Hyomei will cure a cough or a cold in less than 24 hours. But every one should know that the soothing, balmy and antiseptic air of Hyomei when breathed over the raw and inflammed membrane of the nose and throat will instantly allay the inflammation, and will effect a prompt cure. Complete Hyomei outfit, including inhaler, costs only SI.OO at Holthouse Drug Co. Extra bottles, if afterward needed, will cost but 50 cents Joseph M. Harbaugh, Heldredge, Neb., writes: “I have used your Hyomei in my family for two years or more, and find it one of th best remedies we ever used for a cold or sore throat. We find that it gives quick relief in cases of catarrh.” • o THE STRENUOUS LIFE. Pulls so Hard on the Stomach it Must Have HelpThe stress and strain of the strenuous lif e 111 both city and country makes stomach troubles. Five people suffer today where on e did ten years ago with sick headache, dizziness, flatulence, distress after eating, specks before the eyes, bloating, nervousness, sleeplessness and the many other syptoms of indigestion. All wh* ar e suffering with stomach troubles, and that means at least two out of three in Decatur and other towns, should use Mi-o-na stomach tablets. Nothing else is as safe, yet effective; nothing else can be so thoroughly relied upon to relieve aii troubles from indigestion as Mi-o-na So reliable is Mi-o-na that Holthouse Drug Co., with every 50-cent box they sell, give a guarantee to refund th 0 money unless the remedy cures. o —— —— —- — Artificial ice, pure and lasting.

STATE DOES NOT PAY WOMEN SAME AS MEN. Side Light on the “Equal Pay For Equal Work" issue. Examination of the roster of state employees does not bear out the statement widely circulated by the women schoolteachers of New York that throughout the state civU service salaries are fixed without regard to sex. While it is evidently the intent of the law to pay women the same salaries received by men in identical positions, the fact seems to be that the state is compelled to pay male employees higher salaries than it pays women employees or that men are invariably appointed to the higher clerical positions. The state roster shows in the board of charities one man clerk SI,OOO, three women clerks $720 each; corporation tax bureau, six men clerks averaging $1,540. one woman clerk SOOO, two men stenographers $1,500 each, three women stenographers $740 each. In the state department of education there is one man clerk in the administration division at S9OO a year, while four women clerks receive an average salary of $540. In the examiner's division the two men examiners are paid $1,200 each, ‘while fifteen women examiners average $770 each. The same rule prevails in the department of excise, the state department of health and the office of the secretary of state. These cases are not exceptional, but are representative of the scale of men's and women’s Y-*ges paid throughout the state civil -iervice. The figures show that the claim put forward that it is only in the schools that women receive less pay than men is entirely unfounded and that in practice there is no such thing as “pay for position.” TO CUT TELEGRAPH RATES. Automatic Apparatus For Sending and Receiving and Lower Line Cost Will Bring Price Down to a Cent a Word flow the new telegraph company, the Telepost, will be able to do a profitable business at its rate of a cent a word between all points was explained this week by a New York representative of the company. “We have in the Delany automatic sending and receiving apparatus,” he said, “a means of reaching speeds of 1,000 words a minute. Making the most liberal allowance of time for the preparation of the tapes by which this system operates, we can handle telegrams several hundred times faster than the present companies do. “The result is that the four wires of our trunk lines Will give us the same capacity as sixty-eight Western Union wires. The saving on construction is enormous. Our outlay per mile will be only one-fifth of the cost of the old companies for lines of equal capacity. “These are the main but not the only economies that will enable the Telepost to make money at its rate of 25 cents for twenty-five words. There will be no bookkeeping, the blanks on which messages are written being sold like stamps for face value. We expect to employ experienced operators, but for a given volume of business we shall not need nearly so many as the old companies employ. “Os course our rates were not decided upon without the most careful computation of costs. We shall, as a matter of fact, have a larger margin of profit than the Western Union or Postal show even at their higher rates. This Is true of ‘teleposts’ delivered by mail for 25 cents- for fifty words as well as of telegrams.” “Identical Education” a Failure? That the present identical education of boys and girls has been weighed and found wanting is acknowledged by those in closest touch with the children approaching adolescence. What habits acquired by the child will insure success for the man or woman ? Certain habits—regularity, punctuality, personal cleanliness, moral rectitude, respect for authority, devotion to duty—are needed by both men and women and can be instilled by either men or women teachers into both boys and girls. As the boy approaches the age of puberty then let his teachers be men. Other qualities—physical courage, a spirit of fair play, resentment under insult, business Integrity—can be best developed by men teachers in boys' schools, just as gentleness, tenderness. sympathy, tactfulness, the spirit of hospitality, charity in thought and kindred traits can best be instilled by women teachers in girls’ schools.— Julia Richman, District Superintendent of Schools, in New York Tribune. Hippophagy. Hlppophagy being in low water in these later days, somebody has set himself to show what an exceedingly respectable history attaches to the practice. Among the ancients, especially in China, eating horseflesh was general, and it was only killed in Europe by a papal decree of Gregory 111, though why horseflesh should have been interdicted does not appear. It was only the famine caused by Napoleon’s invasion that revived the practice in Germany, where it has survived ever since.—London Globe. Not Broadened. “They say that travel broadens a tnan.t’ said the dark woman. “Well, I don’t know about that,” replied the light woman. “My husband has been a conductor on a trolley car for seven years and see how thin he is!” —Yonkers Statesman. Economy, Small Gilbert—Papa, didn’t I hear you tell mamma we would have to economize? Papa—Yes, my son. Small Gilbert—Well, you might begin by getting me a pony; then I shouldn’t wear out so many shoes.—Chicago News.

IT WAS DANGEROUS A Big Electric Light Wire Was Severed Near the . I Post office Today WIRES ARE CHARGED Telephone Lines Fell Across Electric Light Wire and Severed Same Excitement was at high tension on east Monroe street this afternoon when a big electric light wir e conducting 2,000 volts of electriciy burned through and each end fell to the ground. J. Elzey anemploye of the Citizens 1 Telephone company was engaged in taking down a Central Union line, when in some manner he cut several wires which fell across an uninsulated electric wire. The electric wire burned immediately and the eight wires which lay across same were heavily charged. The charged wires were strung across the street and alley in such a manner as to make it almost impassable for a team of horses to pass without coming in contact with same. The electric light plant was shut down for several minutes to allow the workmen time to remove the wires and thus no serious results wer e sustained. Several men were stationed at different places to , keep barefooted boys and curious men from being electrocuted. ————— o ■ THE SOCIETY NOTES (Continued from Page One) a picnic supper which was delicious in the extreme, and at a late hour they returned, all reporting a fine time.

Live Agents Wanted Owing to the increased demand for Wayne « 30” Automobiles, we have decided to build 300 addutonal cars of this popular type. These are now coming through-we can positively make deliveries of the first fifty in ten days. Now we can sell every one of these cars in four or five large cities—as we have been doing. But we have other ideas, other aims. We are planning to build 6,000 cars next year—have the facilities to do it—and the work is a ready under way. That means we’ll need a large selling force—an agent in every town over 5,000. We want these 300 Wayne “30” cars to be the missionaries which will create a demand for the 6,000 we will build next year. See our point. We want to distribute this season s output these 300 over as much territory as possible instead of concentrating them in a few metropolitan centers. Satisfied users are the best advertisements—every Wayne will do its part in carrying the news of Wayne quality wherever it goes. Even to those who knew die earlier Wayne models this 1908 product will be a revelation and a delight. We want a personal representative—a. man of good standing—to represent us in your town. Large capital is not necessary —neither is a garage nor repair shop. Very little capital, but a large amount of energy and selling ability, are the requisites —to the man who possesses these, here is an opportunity of a lifetime to get in business for himself —one that has a wondemil future. Write today; send references; tell us about yourself; if satisfactory, we will get together quickly. W T e won’t hold you up on deliveries and we’ll stand back of the product —remember, we count on these 300 to sell 6,000; there’s the buyer’s guarantee —and yours. Now is the selling season —today.
