that thero In absolutely no truth In the
ntory, nnd I havo been much annoyed over
the matter. Perhaps some of my friends
may havo thought to please me by mon-
tlonln nic ln conntlon wlth the .mission,
or It may be that the story had Its origin
In n Joking remark I mado after the sena
torial fight had ended, that I guessed I
would now aak (or the Mexican mission.
If you will remember, the tale was tbld
about that the mission had been offered to
various senatorial candidates, and my re
mark was n Jesting comment upon this.
Add to this that I often visit Mexico and
ynu havo the whole foundation of thu story.
"The fact Is, I have never asked nor
asked anyone else to ask the president
for any place for me. I am not a can
didate for the Mexican mission nor for
any other appointive or elective place.
Tho Idea seems to prevail with some peo
ple that If a man Is once a candidate for
oinco he Is Infected with the political Itch
to tho degn.o that ho Is ever after a can
didate for place If ho Is not ln office. As
for others I cannot say how thoy feel alter
having sought and failed, but 1 know I was
left In a comfortable and peaceful statu
of mind,"

In a communication addressed to county

Superintendent Fowler urges the, roaKing

the expenses of county teachers' institutes.
tr. Fnu-ior insist that money spent for
tncso purposes reaches moro people and
does moro good than any other nppropna
tlon that can bo made. He says:
"By referring to tho statutes It will be

shall not bo less than thu minimum salary
nxed for that .class In which his county
belongs, ln nil counties having a school
population of 2,000 or more. In counties
havlne a school population of less than
2,000 a per diem of not less than $3.50 or
by tho statute. Tho number of days acccs-
sary for tho duties of his office shall be

but tho number of days so employed shall
not be less than tno numoer oi scnooi ins-
Uriels ln said county, and'one for each
precinct thereof for tno examination oi
teachers. As to tho number or days neccs
snry for tho duties of his office, however,'
tho superintendent should no govcrneu oy
reason, precedent and efficient work. Ho
should present an cstlmato to tho county
commissioners at tho first, regular session
In each year of the number ot days neces

"It Is ovtdent that It was tho Intention
nf th legislature to limit the salary of the
county superintendent to tho minimum
compensation. Noxt to the teacher, the life
nf th rural school Is the county supcrln
tendent. Facts show that In nine cases
out of ten, whero thero is real progress,
you will find nn earnest, wideawake, up
to-dato county superintendent. In such
cases It would seem the part of economy
well ns Justlco and wisdom, .not, to, limit
his salary to tho minimum fixed by the
statute, but to fix It according to the
amount and tho efficiency ot his work
am. glad to know that many county boards
aro liberal In 'the Balary allowed tho county
superintendent and ln tho apprpprlatlon
for the Institute. Custer county, some
times spoken of as 'away out In tho sand
hills,' pays Uh superintendent $1,600. Some
of the nep diem counties pay as high as
$300 per year to the county superintendent
And Dundy county, In tho extreme south
w-est corner of tho state, appropriates $lp0
for Institute each yenr. 1 hope you will
not causo tho school interests of your
county to suffer by n parsimonious cxpondl
turo of money for tho salary of tho county
superintendent and the appropriation for
tho Institute."

About five yearn ago mv right ear began to slug, and this kept on getting worse, until I lout

I underwent a treatment for catarrh, for three months, without ny aiiccet s, consulted a num

only an operation could help me, and even that only temporarily, that the head noises would

I then saw your advertisement accidentally in a New York paper, and ordered your treat
