Mrs. Jemison and Children At Last Are With Husband.

A postal card received Tuesday by Jesse Nichols, superintendent of the county farm, from Toledo, Ohio, recorded the arrival of Mrs. Jemison and children there and that they were met by her husbhnd, the “bad” man whose escapade here resulted in his being sent to the penal farm and who since his escape from there had claimed to be in the British army, but who evidently did not tell the truth. Jemison wrote the postal card and thanked the authorities here for what they had done for his family. Now if he will show his appreciation by taking proper care of them and by keeping out of trouble he will give others cause to believe that their efforts to reunite them was not wasted.

Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 30— Governor Morehead, of Nebraska, today formally declined an invitation to be a member of the Ford peace expedition. “Without the co-operation of the president and the backing of the governors of a majority of the states,” Governor Morehead announced he felt such a mission would be fruitless. ,

GENUINE PRESCRIPTION FOR ALL RHEUMATISM

Rheuma —that is the name of the scientific prescription that is putting rheum|tism out of business. Rheuma cures by driving the uric acid from the blood. It also acts directly and quitkly on the kidneys, bowels and blood and is better for them than most so-called kidney cures. Gratifying* relief comes in a day, because Rheuma acts at one time on the kidneys, stomach, liver and blood. 50 cetns a bottle of B. x . Fendig a: i all druggists.

The Evangelistic Services.

The evangelistic service brought out a large crowd at t,he Methodist church last night. The Sunday school adults filled the front seats. Rev. H. W. Kerr preached upon the subject: “The Carnal Mind and the Spiritual Life.” The sermon made a deep impression upon all as the evangelist earnestly pleaded with all present to live a more complete Christian life. The altar service for prayer and consecration brought a number to the altar. After the service the evangelists met the Sunday school officers and teachers to plan fo* a great Sunday school service next Sunday. Tonight the Ladies' Industrial Society will occupy the front seats and all the members are urged to be present. Thursday afternoon from 2 to 3 will be held the W. H. M. Society and at 3 o'clock will follow a upion prayer circle service led by the evangelists.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR, LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY

Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens So Naturally That Nobody Can TeU. Almost everyone knows that Sage Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brings back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray, also ends dandruff, itching ocalp and stops falling hair. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is mussy and troublesome. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for “Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound”, you will get a large bottle of this famous old recipe for about 50 cents. Don't stay gray! Try it No one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray -hair disappears, and after another application or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark, thick and glossy.

THIRTY MEET DEATH IN POWDER MILL

Dupont .Mills at Wilmington, DeU Have Worst Explosion In Yearn —Cause Is Unknown.

Wilmington, Del., Nov. 30.—Thirtyone workmen were killed and six fatally injured today in a terrific explosion of about four tons of black powder at the Upper Hagley yard of the Dupont Powder company. It was the worst accident that has occurred in any of the company’s plants in a quarter of a century. The cause of the blast is not known. According to a statement issued by the company the origin “will probably always remain a mystery.” Nevertheless a most searching investigation has been instituted by the officials of the company and every employe who was near the building that was blown to piece will be put through a thorough examination in the hope that some clew as to the cause might be learned.

Hopkins on College avenue Tuesday evening for a 6 o’clock dinner, turkey being the main dish around which was an entree that made up a dinner complete’ in every respect. The evening was spent in playing bridge.

Withdraws Acceptance.

St. Louis, Nov. 30.—Richard Bartholdi, former congressman from Missouri and former president of the International Parliamentary Union for the Promotion of International Arbitration, tonight telegraphed to Henry Ford that “for personal reasons,” he was compelled to withdraw his acceptance of the invitation to accompany the Ford peace delegation to Europe.

NO MORE BACKACHE; NO MORE MISERY

If you suffer with pains l in your back and sides or have any signs of kidney or bladder trouble such as rheumatic pains, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if you are nervous, tired and rundown, or bothered with urinary disorders, Solvax will quickly and surely relieve you of your misery. Solvax is the most potent* remedy yet devised for ridding the system of uric acid and driving out all the poisonous impurities which cause such troubles. It neutralizes, dissolves and makes the kidney* sift out all the uric acid poisons left by the blood, and renders the kidneyt and urinary organs clean, vigorous and healthy. B. F. Fendig, the popular druggist, says that no medicine ought to be paid for unless it aoes the user some good. He therefore sells Solvax under a positive guarantee to suickly relieve the worst cases . f kidney troubel or refund the money. Try Solvax today and if you cannot see and feel a decided change for the better just go to B. F. Fendig and tell him you want your money back and he will return it without question. This is the strongest argument that can be offered in behalf of any medi cine-

System of Farm Credit For Tenant Is Asked.

The Republican at the request of a subscrijber publishes the following article: The farmens certainly do need a cheaper credit than they are now able to obtain. A rural credit for the farmer that has money enough to buy a farm and make a payment is all right as far as it would go, but only a few, comparatively are able to do that. What about the man who has a team, a few tools and two or three cows, etc.? Don’t you think he needs help far more than the man who is able to buy make a payment down on his farm? I do. The men who are obliged to farm a rented farm or none certainly ought to be worthy of some consideration, as many 6f them as there are. If they would all quit farming and go at something else there would be thousands of vacant farms. If it is impractical %> loan money to such farmers, why not make other laws that will enable such men to accumulate enough to buy and make their small payment down so they, too, might enjoy the benefit of a rural credit, if such a law should be enacted? It could be done by making laws and enforcing them, that every person who has a farm he or she wishes to rent must have it in a rentable condition. Most of the farms that rent are owned by men who have invested for speculation, or for sale and they simply refuse to rent for more than one year at a time as “I want to sell” or “I must sell” and nearly all of those farms are in a run down, dilapidated condition, buildings and fences poor, sometimes very little if any of the latter. Some of the houses renters are asked to live in, a good stockman would refuse to keep his hogs in. I know of houses of that kind. Some of the farms have good buildings and are fairly tiled, but where they are it is usually where a relative of the owner of the farm either is or has been the renter. A lot of farms have a few tile poorly put in or else have none at all. Then The farm owner wonders why he gets such poor returns and often thinks it, if he does not say it, that the renter appropriates it to his own use. The most of the farm owners want one-half of everything delivered to market and some of them even go far enough to charge rent for the buildings top of that. There is not any man who farms that can afford to give one-half of everything delivered to market and the owner knows it, too. Those who rent their farms cash rent want all a man can get off of a farm so that either way the tiller of the soil has nothing left for himself. If a man can’t live and give half of everything delivered and he uses what is necessary to keep his stock he is called a thief when he has already been robbed by having such an exorbitant rent exacted of him and the failure of farm owner to do repairing he has promised, thus handicapping the renter in handling his crops and stock in a profitable way. Our plan would be to make laws forcing farm owners to put their farms in condition so they can be farmer profitably and make them rent their farms so the men who farm them can make a living and have a rural credit, too, and then the men who till the soil will begin to have a little show; as it is they have none. Yes, the farmers do need a rural credit and need it bad.—Monroe Co., Mich. E. M. R. .

Funeral of Miss Lucy Healy Held This Morning.

The funeral of Miss Lucy Healy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Healy, was held this Wednesday morning at St. Augustine’s Catholic church, where a large number of her friends and former schoolmates gathered to pay their last respects to her memory. The band played at the service and led the procession to Mr. Calvary cemetery, where burial was made. Lucy would have been 22 years of age on Jan. 10th and during her short life had endeared herself to all who knew her and among the large number of floral offerings were pieces from school and church friends. She had realized for some time that she was to die and had talked with her family about it and made plans for her funeral. Of gentle spirt, sweet manner and lovable disposition she had so endeared herself to her parents, brother and sister that the parting was a sad event and finch no solace in words. The influence of her life will have a lasting effect upon all who knerw her intimately. John Sommers had a splendid sale Monday on the Sol Guth farm, southeast of town. It totaled almost $2»800, which was about S6OO more than he had counted on. He had some good horses and cows, the latter selling up to SBO per head. John went to Lafayette today and expects to enrage in business there. The Guth farm will be tenanted next year by Louis Hooker, who was on fllh B. Forsythe farm for several years.

JANE ADDAMS IS IN THE HOSPITAL

Noted Peace Advocate May -Be Prevented From Accompanying the Ford Peace Party.

Chicago, Nov. 30.—Jane Addams, settlement worker and peace advocate, was taken to the Presbyterian hospital suffering from a fever which, it was said, was severe but not critical. The exact nature of her illness has not been determined. Dr. James D. Herrick said that her illness is not serious. Miss Addams has not been feeling well for several days. Whether her condition will prevent her from accompanying the Ford peace party abroad depends on developments. Last (Sunday night Miss Addams addressed a meeting on the subject of peace and the Ford peace ship in particular. She was frequently applauded and after one outburst she remarked smilingly: “I thank you for your applause for after I sail on the Ford ship I probably never shall he applauded again.” After the meeting she explained to friends that her remark was based on knowledge that the Ford mission was unpopular “in certain quarters.”

Off-Again, On-Again.”

Washington, Dec. 1. (Special correspondence). George Burkitt, once, and now once more, assistant postmaster at Winnetka, 111., has had a kind of “Off-again-on-again-gone again-Finnegan” experience. He was dismissed from the postal service for having said that the president's second marriage was indelicately sudden. He tried to secure a hearing from the postmaster general and was turned down. He published the correspondence in the newspapers. He was ordered reinstated within twenty-four hours. , This doubtless closes the incident so far as concerns Burkitt and his job. But the episode has brought about a renewal of comment over the president's courtship and marriage which has caused no little irritation at the white house, where great pains have always been taken to minimize gossip on this particular topic. The president's attentions to Mrs. Galt have been no secret here in Washington for many months. No one here was especially surprised when the engagement was announced, and the only comment which the capital vouchsafed was in line with that for which Burkitt lost his job. A few western newspapers had dealt with the subject in like vein; the women of Idaho—where women vote —had been polled with a Similar expression of opinion; and the girls of a western state university had held a meting and resoluted to the same effect. The news broke here on a Sunday, and the correspondents became immediately very active. At the white house it was said that nothing was known about the matter. Postmaster General Burleson refused to say anything. But Mr. Roper, assistant postmaster general, talked with some freedom and seemed to think he had in some fashion befriended the president in (firing (Burkitt. Tumulty, however, had no such illusions and, as soon as he hiad given the situation the once over, he promptly proceeded to announce Burkitt’s reinstatement “by instructions of the president.” So far as Burkitt is concerned that ended it. But it did not end the gossip. No indeed. That is still going on, with the concensus in Burkitt's favor by a large majority. Jack Lewark, who lives in the Otis ranch near Roselawn, sent a hen’s egg to The Republican office Tuesday that is some whopper, weighing almost 5 ounces. If Jack can raise a breed of hens that will raise eggs of that size regularly he will have his fortune made.

Pie Ready For Distribution.

Washington, Dec. 1. (Special correspondence). Postmaster General Burleson has been recognized as the active political personality in the present cabinet, and he has lately furnished additional evidence that he is still on the job. Just as it became clear that the democrats in congress were about to show defiance to their master's voice from the white house, Mr. Burleson hastened to publish a “List of first, second and third class postoffices where presidential postmasters have not been appointed since March 4, 1913.” The list is imposing, comprising some 1,400 places and taking in every state. There ia no doubt here regarding Mr. Burelson’s purpose in publishing the list just now. It is very generally believed that he is dangling a baited hook before the democratic congressmen who are showing signs of independence from white house control. The list is looked upon as at once a menace and an appeal. In effect Mr. Burleson says to democratic congressmen: “Here is the pie which is not yet distributed. You can see how much your share should be. If you are good, you will get It. If you are not good, it will be withheld.”

Monnett School Notes.

Rev. Charles H. Hickman, pastor of the M. E. church in *Kaw, Okla., made a very delightful visit to the school ( a feW days ago and gave the girsl a very interesting talk. He is stationed near the Kaw Indian reservation and carried with him many beautiful and valuable rugs, embroidered robes and other Indian curios. His stories of Indian life were very entertaining and realistic, and his address was much appreciated by both faculty and students. Miss Clara Stacey spent several days in Chicago last week. Marcella Eells and Edith Whittan spent Thanksgiving with parents and friends in Chicago. The -Kerr brothers paid a visit to the 'school Tuesday morning and gaVe an address which was much enjoyed by every member of the school. They also sang several beautiful songs. The students have been regular and responsive attendants of the evangelistic services. The students are preparing an Indian operetta, “The Feast of the Red Com,” which is to be given on the evening of December 13, the place to be .announced later. Miss Madeline Ramp is directress of the chorus work. Look for later announcements. Frank Pollard continues quite poorly at his home south of town. His son, Leslie, and N. W. Emery, who spent the summer selling aluminum ware, have been busy with the com crop this fall, but today the snow kept them out of the field and together they went to Bringhurst to make some aluminum leliveries.

RELIEVES THE WORST CASES OF CATARRH

Think “Hyomei the Most Wonderful Treatment For Catarrh Ever Discovered.” Do not try to cure catarrh by using sprays or lotions; it cannot be cured in that manner. The only way in which this too common disease can be fully relieved is through a direct application to the aectcd parts that will kill the bacilli of catarrh and prevent their growth. Breathing the air of Hyomei is the only known method of treatment that can really accomplish this. It is the simplest, most pelasant and probably the most reliable treatment for catarrh that has ever been discovered. The complete Hyomei outfit is inexpensive and consists of an inhaler, dropper and sufficient Hyomei to last several weeks. This will eect instant relief in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh, longer use may be necessary, and then an extra bottle of Hyomei can be obtained for a trilling sum. It is not alone the best (it might be called the only) method of treating catarrh, but it is also the most economical. B. F. Fendig has so much confidence in Hyomei to relieve catarrh, that he will for a limited time, sell this medcine under his personal guarantee to refund the money if the purchaser can say that it did not benefit
