Topeka, Kan., Aug. 4. Whether
Chester I. Long of Medicine Lodge,
senior United States senator from
Kansas, will be returned, or will be
succeeded by Joseph L. Brlstow of
Sallna, country editor, former fourth
asHlstant postmaster general and foe
of railroad and corporation domin
ance In political affairs, will be de
cided by a primary 'today In which
the republican voters of Kansas are
. expressing their sovereign will. This
Is the first primary election ever
hold In Kansas.
Democrats, Prohibitionists and So
cialists are also taking part In to
day's primary, and all parties will
nominate, In addition to senatorial
candidates, a full state ticket, Includ
ing governor, Justice of the supreme
court, lieutenant governor, secretary
of state, auditor, treasurer, attorney
ffunnrtil sunnrintpnrtnnt nf 'nubile In
struction, superintendent of Insur
ance, state printer, railroad commls
sinner and presidential electors. The
various districts will nominate con
gressional candidates.
Hugh H. Farrelly of Chanute will
be given the democratic nomination
for United States senator; but the
democrats have little hope of vic
tory, and the choice apparently lies
between Long and Brlstow, the re
publican aspirants.
Cyrus Leland, Jr.. of Troy and W.
R. Stubbs of Lawrence are the O. O.
p. contestants for the gubernatorial
nomination. W. H. Ryan of Glrard,
Jeremiah D. Botkln of Wlnwleld and
Russell J. Harrison of Selden are
each seeking to head, the democratic
state ticket. George F. Hlbner 'of
Concordia Is unopposed to the So
cialist gubernatorial nominee, while
Alfred Hope of Abilene Is hopeful of
securing the empty honor of prohibi
tion nominee for governor of a pro
hibition state.
The Long-Brlstow senatorial fight
Is the center of Interest In today's
primary, since It affords the voters
their first opportunity to select a
senator. The progressive element
which answers the question, "What's
the matter with Kansas?" with the
succinct statement "Chester I. Long"
Is confident of a Brlstow victory
Evidence Is not lacking, in (he shape
of enthusiastic messages presaging
Victory from Brlstow men all over
the state, thatthelr hope It well
founded. if L,ong Is defeated, how
ever, he will have gone down fight
ing, for his supporters have waged
political warfare In his behalf that
has seldom been surpassed In the his
tory of the "bleeding" state.
The fight on Long has been made
on the allegation that he Is a "rail
road senator" and that he belongs to
that corporation-controlled clique of
the senate which also Includes Al
drlch, Allison, Elklns. Hopkins and
Penrose.
Whether or not these charges are
true and It Is alleged that Long has
been even less astute In "hiding the
shells" than his democratic col
league of a neighboring state, Stone
of Missouri, who Is also fighting for
his political life Long has admit
tedly played the political game for all
there Is In It. Considerable fortunes
such as that possessed by Long, It Is
declared, do not "Just happen."
Long's Machine,
Long began his political career
twenty-three years ago, at the age
of 25. He built up a district machine
which was a Beven-year wonder and
which enabled him In 1892 to beat
Congressman Jerry Simpson, the gift
ed leader of the then triumphant but
now moribund populist movement.
In 18Sf Simpson defeated him, but
two years later Long was again suc
cessful, and the sockless statesman
retired from the political arena. In
1903 Long was promoted to a seat
In the senate, where he has but Indif
ferently represented the progressive
spirit of the Sunflower state.
Joseph Brlstow, the candidate of
the reform element of the republican
party of Kansas, Is a newspaper man
by profession, although he has held
political offices and has for years
been a force In Kansas republicanism.
He belongs to that famous body of
Sunflower Journalists which Includes
In Its ranks William Allen White of
the Emporia Gazette, "Billy" Morgan
of the Hutchinson News, Ed. Howe
of the Atchison Globe and Congress
man Anthony of tho Leavenworth
Times. .
As fourth assistant postmaster gen
eral Brlstow made an enviable rec
ord, ferreting out many sources of
graft and corruption In the national
postal department and exposing the
malefactors to punishment. Ho also
acquired considerable fame as an In
vestigator of affairs In Panama. In
state affairs he has always consls.
tently opposed railroad domination
and has been one of the principal
foes of the lobbyists.
All In a,U, . today's contest for the
toga Is an Interesting one, and the
result will be awaited with Interest
throughout the nation.

Sleepwalking.
Women and children are more apt to
suffer from souinuiubullsm than men,
possibly because their brain Is more
delicately poised and therefore more
easily Influenced by dreams. A som
nambulist nearly always walks with
bis eyes wide open, the pupils being
much dilated, ne Is a dreamer able to
act his dreams, and In this state the
timid become fearless, tbe weak strong
and tbe stupid brilliant Their som
nambulistic condition presents many
curious anomalies. Tbe somnambulist's
sense of hearing Is not often suspend
ed, for, generally speaking, be will an
swer questions even If whispered, bnt
often tbe same ear Is deaf to loud
noises. Tbe sense of smell Is frequent
ly altered. Brimstone and phosphorus
are said to be pleasant scents to tbe
somnambulist, and many cannot tell
wine from water, as the sense of taste
becomes perverted or entirely suspend
ed. Some people walk periodically In
their sleep, while others do It spasmod
ically. One German doctor goes to the
extreme of asserting tbat somnam
bulists are attracted by tbe moon, and
thus tbey walk on roofs of houses and
at great heights because they derive a
peculiar pleasure from contemplating
tbe moon.

A TinyDeath Dealer.
A most agonizing death Is caused by
an Insect half tbe size of a pea a
small black spider. It lives In Peru.
In South America, but a few speci
mens have reached Europe In ship
loads of timber. Not long ago a dock
laborer was unlucky enough to come
opoq one In the Victoria docks while
unloading a bark. Tbe tiny death deal
er dropped upon the back of his band
and dug Its fangs Into bis flesh. Tbe
bite Itself was nothing, but as soon as
the poison began to work tbe man
fainted with pain. Soon afterward be
came to and lived three days before
the end came. This spider's venom
scorches np the blood vessels and
spreads through all the tissues, caus
ing tbe most fearful agony a bumau
being can have to bear. The worst of
It Is that tbe victim lives at least two
days, enduring unthinkable anguish
the whole time. This spider Is luckily
not common. It Is known as tbe
"specky," and when a man who knows
wnat tbe bite means Is bitten be gen
erally blows ont his brains. London
Chronicle.
Extreme Obedienee.
The Youngs had unexpectedly drop
ped In on the Baileys Just as dinner
wis about to be served. vThe hostess,
considerably disturbed, called ber little
daughter Helen aside and explained
that there would not be enough oysters
to go around and .added, "Now, yon
and I will Just have some of tbe broth,
and please do not make any fuss about
It at the table."
Little Helen promised to remember
and say nothing. But when the oys
ters were served Helen discovered a
small oyster la ber plate which bad ac
cidentally been ladled up with the
broth. This pawled tbe little girl, as
he could not recall any Instructions
covering this contingency. After
studying a few moments she dipped
tbe oyster up with ber spoon and, hold
ing It up as blgb as she could, piped
out, "Mamma, mamma, shouldn't Mrs.
lonng have this oyster too7"-brls-tlan

Countess Hartford's Bell.
Edward Seymour, earl of Hertford,
in the days of Queen Elisabeth married
as his third wife a beautiful young
widow who bad been engaged to Sir
George Rodney, bnt whom she Jilted
for Lord Hertford. Sir George Rodney
traveled to Amesbury and, putting up
at the Inn, awaited tbe bosirecomlng of
tbe earl and countess, who were ex
pected to arrive tbe next day. Tbe In
fatuated man wrote a dying ode to bis
fickle love, using bis blood as Ink, and
upon tbe arrival of tbe bridal party he
went out to meet tbem. Lady Hert
ford was agitated and terrified at tbe
appearance of her old lover, and be
fore Sir George could be prevented be
drew bis sword and, falling on It, ex
pired at Lady Hertford's feet Tbe
countess presented a bell to Amesbury
church perhaps as a slight penance for
ber fickleness. The inscription runs:

8tars That Outshine the Sun.
One of the government astronomers,
referring to stars tbat are so distant
that they have no measurable parallax,
asserts that one of these, tbe brilliant
Canopus, can be said with confidence
to be thousands of times brighter than
our Bun. Whether we should say 20,-
000, 10,000 or 5,000 no one can decide.
Tho first magultude stars, Rlgel and
Spcca, also aro at an Immeasurable
distance and must, In view of tbelr ac
tual brightness, enormously outshine
the sun.
The 'Anged and Un'anged.
An American actor was once seeing
London from tbe top of a bus. As
tbey swung down the Strand be asked
tbe driver to point out the places of
Interest "Right you are, slrl" agreed
tbe driver, touching bis bat "There's
Lngglt 'ill, where they ang 'em." A
little later, "There's parllment 'ouses,
where they make the laws wot does It,
across tbe way. An' there's Westmin
ster babbey, where they burled tbe
good 'una wot didn't get 'anged!"
His Only Chance.
'Why did yon shake your fist at tbe

"Well." replied tbe congressman, "I
didn't want the whole session to slip
by without my having made a motion
of some kInd."-Fhiladelphla Ledger.

LAW PUTS BAN ON
WOMEN POSTMEN.
Federal Statute Prescribes Trousers as
Part of Mail Deliverer's Uniform, j
Acting Postmaster General Grand
field has decided that a woman can
not be a mall carrlerer without mak-!
ing It decidedly embarrassing for her
and causing her to lose her w'ontanly
modesty and Incidentally her skirts,
says a Washington special.
At Idaho Falls, Idaho, an examina
tion 'was recently held to obtain a car
rier for the Installation of city free
delivery and the civil service com
mission certified the name of a young
woman to the department. The ques
tion arose as to whether a woman was
eligible for appointment.
There did not appear to be any le
gal reason to Interfere and the young
woman In question was on the point
of receiving the Job when there was
discovered a statute In large bold
type which stated that carriers were
to wear trousers.
The description of the postal service
uniform had been fixed In detail by a
former postmaster general as follows:
FOR WINTER. WEAR.
Trousers Of same material and
color as coat (bluish mixed cadet
flannel or a heavy bluish gray wor
sted or serge), with fine broadcloth
piping one-foiirth Inch wide down the
outside seam. Side and two hip pock
ets to be made of strong durable ma
terials. FOR SUMMER WEAR.
Trousers Of same material as coat,
with black cloth cord one-fourth Inch
wide down the outside seam. Side
and two hip pockets to be made of
strong, durable material.
When this diseovery was made It
was decided to ask the civil service
commission to hold another examina
tion. Acting Postmaster General
Grandfleld's native modesty compell
ing him to abstain from asking the
young woman who was eligible wheth
er If appointed she would comply
with the law and regulations regard
ing dress.
It has been suggested that the
young woman might wear a direc
tolre skirt of light material over the
regulation trousers.

coughs, croup, hoarseness, whooping

Women as Well as Men Are Nadu
miserable by Kidney and
" Bladder Mle.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind,
discourages and lessensambition; beauty,
vigor ana cheerful
ness soon disappear
when the kidneys sre
out of order or dis
eased. Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncom
mon for a child to be
born afflicted with
weak kidneys. If the
child urinates too often , if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wetting,
depend upon it, thecause of thediffi
Culty is kidney trouble, atil the first'
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
babit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are,made miser
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
The mild and the immediate effect of
Swamp-Root is soon realized. It is sold
by enggtrxs, in fifty
rcai and oadj'lar
size bottles. You may
have a sample bottle
by mail free, also a Home of Swamp-Root

Including many of the thousands of testi
monial letters received from sufferers
cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co.,

this paper. Don't make any mistake,
but remember the name, Swamp-Root,
