In replying to letter of X. hi. McNeil,
attorney of Pawnee county. Assistant
Attorney-General Feldlng Lewis Thurs-
day held that the editor of a newspaper
may use his editorial columns In com-
menting on political matters without
labeling It an advertisement. Mr. Lew-
is refers to the bill of rights of the
constitution which Insures the right
liberty to the press. He holds that
the primary election law, which, which
provides for heading political notices
with the name of the person who sub-
mitted It and the price paid, does not
apply to an editor’s personal oplnlep.

President Roosevelt Attende Funeral
—Flags on Government Buildinge
to be at Half Maet fer Thirty Days
in Honor of Former Preeldent
PRINCETON, N. J.: Grove.- Cleve-
land, twice pres.dent of t.ie United
States, died TnursUay, June 24, at his
home, “Westland,” iu th.s quiet col-
lege town, wh»re he had lived since
hi* retirement as the nations' chief
executive, almost 12 years ago.
An official statement given out and
signed by the three physicians, gave
heart trouble, superinduced by
stomach and kidney ailments of long
standing, as the cause of death.
While Mr. Cleveland had been in
poor health for the last two years and
had lost a hundred pounds in weight,
his death came unexpectedly. Some
three weeks ago he was brought home
from Lakewood, N. J., where his con-
dition for a time was such that th*
hotel at which he was staying wa3
kept open after It regular season
because he was too ill to be moved.
But when Mr. Cleveland was brought
back to Princeton he showed signs of
improvement and actually gained five
pounds In weight.
Although confined to his room con-
tinuously after his return to Prince-
ton, It was not until the day before
his death that Mr. Cleveland’s condi-
tion aroused uneasiness on the part
of Mrs. Cleveland.
Mr. Cleveland became worse during
the night and Mrs. Cleveland was

and do homage to on that day, and let

hearty manner in honor to the new

Taft of Ohio and Sherman of New
York are the men the republicans have
chosen as their standard bearers in
the 1908 campaign. At present it
looks like Bryan of Nebraska and
Johnson of Minnesota or John Mitch-

nominate, but it will require until
November 4 next to determine whom
the people of the United Sttaes will
select to manage national affairs at

8IMPLY BECAUSE THEY
ARE LICE INFESTED
Therefore you should use CHAD*8
LICE KILER. Full information with
each purchase.
All poulty are actually lousy? Hens
lose their vitality anil become sick be-
cause of the body lice that torment
them. All the relief she gets is by
picking the lice off herself and swal-
lowing them. This is the only cause
of Cholera among hens and young
chickens.
There are many remedies on the
market purporting to rid hens of lice.
Do these measure up to their claims?
Mine does, and promptly. My ex-
terminator kills body lice on Hens,
Horses. Cattle and Hogs, or Fleas on
Dogs, kills Mites. Bed Bugs, Flies,
Ticks, Roaches and any small Insects.
Flies will not light on horses, cows,
or any animal where ths Insecticide
Is applied.
Instantly applied, no handling of
poultry or confining them. No paint-
ing the hen house. Five minutes
work with this Insecticide will rid one
hundred hens of all lice. Have pity
on poor suffering biddy by extermin-
ating these pests and she will respond
with two eggs where you are now
getting but one. besdes you don’t
want to feed corn to lice.
Cheapest. Quickest, Safest, Surest,
Best and Easiest applied lice killer on
the market.
