I MPOHTANT IF TRUE
Judge M. L. Hay ward is not a candi
date ior any office, but he has broken
the silence by informing friends that
he will not allow the use of his name
In the congressional con vention. This
ought to settle that question. It is
also cheerful news to those who main
tain that Judge Hayward is l"ie logi
cal candidate for governor and that he
can have tho nomination from tho re
publican btete convention if ho desires
it. Judge Iliiyward attended the na
tional republican league mooting at
Omaha aud while there he was bo
hiegod by republicans to consent to
become a candidate for governor. Ho
was told by prominent members of the
parly that he was choico of a majority
of the party and that if nominated
he could be elected.
A delegate who talked with Judge
Hayward said that Hayward would
undoubtedly accept the nomination
for governor. In justice to others
who mitrht aspiro to tho oflieo Judge
Hayward was told that ho outfit to
make his positon Known. In reply ho
said he was once an aspirant for tho
nomination when a uoininalion was
considired as good as an election, but
that ho would not decline the honor
at this time when it meant a hard
fight.
This statement, together with the
word of Judge II .yward that he does
not intend t go before the congres
sional convention is cheering to those
who want to place a strong man at tho
head of tho republican state ticket.
JUST LIKE SPANIARDS.
"My men fought like (rue Span
iards," says Captain Hulat ? of the Viz
caya. This seems to bo a perf. eily cor
rect statement. First they tried to
run away, then, finding it impo-sibl.-,
they fired liko '"crazy men," doing no
damage, and then they surrendered,
wnich gave us the ship. After doing
this they ran her aground in order to
wreck the ship they had surrendered
Very like Spaniards. New York
World.

combination of beautiful grounds,
splendid program and courteous treat

E. B. Banks, of Lewisville, Texas,
writes that one box of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve was worth $50,000 to him.
It cured his piles of ten years stand
ing. He advises others to try it. It
also cures eczema, skin diseases and
obstinate soi es. F. G. Fricke.
Maybe tbe reason why Mrs. Colby
has enlisted in the newspaper corps
of war correspondents might be found
in the fact that she wants to keep an
eye on the general and see if he is
really as brave as he talked around
the house. Lincoln New-?.
