Platte died of Bright's disease in New . York City Sunday. He had been a prominent figure in republican politics in New .York , for thirty years. Miss Mae Wood can now \ sue for a share of his estate as a widow. The Cudahy Affair. People will draw their own con- clusions of the Cudahy affair in Kansas City. John P. Cudahy was a man of business and his wife , a daughter of Jown C. Cow- an of Omaha , a society woman who enjoyed company and being entertained. Jere F. Lillis , presi- dent of the Western Exchange bank , reported a millionaire , was' I a bachelor and an entertainer of . . I " women whose husbands were too I : busy with business to keep up a . constant courtship to hold the af fections and occupy .the spare time c of their wives with automobiling I over the splendid rock- roads lead ing out of Kansas City. Lillis bought a new runabout I and promised Mrs. Cudahy the first ride. She had enjoyed the first ride in a previous car and re quested the first ride in this to dedicate it so to speak. They went riding Friday afternoon. Again'Saturday and evening. Mr. ; Cudahy was supposed to be down . to Grainfield looking at some cat- tle , as Mrs. Cudahy had told their chaffeur. Late Sunday night or c early Sunday morning Mr. Cudahy t" , and his chauffeur returned hom'e . and finding Mr. Liljis , . aiid Mrs. Cudahy together in the library . . they began an attack on the pair , finally binding Lillis with a rope l . and stripping IMS lower - - clothing - ' t . off prClcppdpd to carve him with a . . . knife. Mrs. Cudahy cappd up- e stairs ufter I receiving a black P.VP t : . . and continued to scream after call- 1 ' : : ing a policeman 1 who stoppod p thp . ' . carving just before ' it had been cumplPted.Mr. . Cudahy was tak- : en to th , ' policp station where he : was released on a $100 bond. Mrs. ; Cudahy proceeds to tell . . her story. Her father believes it. . . . . and says * hc i- i , is i inn < .ci int . Lillis I . was taken \ j to St. ? Vliir . \ ' * h 1 . - itul and is reports ! not very Sl ) ' r . I < l.v . . injured and will . - r not ' , ' pro uute. h. - - " " r - I . . - - - - I He refuses to make any statement I further of the affair. Cudahy's statement to the policeman who arrested him , that Lillis had ruin- ed his home , is all that he has said of the affair. It may be a lesson to the indis- creet and forward , and will cer- tainly will be to these people. It may not" more than check the so- ciety evils , for all men are not like Cudahy , nor so bold as to invade the sanctity of a home like Lillis. ! : But it is human nature to err if no other restrictions than ] lack of opportunity prevails. Where should the line be drawn ? Women must have the privilege of free speech and bewitching smiles as they cannot command. If they are attractive it may lead to folly. Should Mrs. Cudahy be allowed to ride with another man ? Then , how often ? and should she invite her companion in after a late ride while her husband is sup- posed to be out of town ? Yes , she may be innocent and only a beautiful , attractive woman , born and bred an entertainer with- out impure motives but indiscreet and lacking the sternness of pro- priety. But people generally will sympathize Vith the husband in this case and brand Lillis as the villain/ , T Hot Shotting Kinkaid. l From the Lincoln Trade Re-view , we quote the following touching Moses Kinkaid's Alaska coal land traffic : "The low conception which many . members of congress have of the ethics of their position is illustrated ) ) in the ' case of Kinkaid of Nebraska and a number of oth- er congressman in their efforts to get rich through Alaska coal land , the opportunity coming to them because they are congressman. It I is not the technical question of the bare legal ) right of Kinkaid to become a coal land claimant ] , so . much as the moral aspect of the case that arouses criticism. The theory that men go to congress to make use special privil. ) ges aiid private snaps is too much in use. Men who- do these thins show their contempt for mom ! honest.v , no mutter if they are in the lines ) of the law. J They do this ! when they collect ) salary for period br- fore they are elected to office ; they do it when they raise their own salaries : when thoy are in of- J - fice , even if they ] dodge the vote and tell the whip of the house that J 1 they . will ' vote if . needed but want . . .

Congressman Kinkaid had claims created in the sand hills of Ne- braska for his constituents but when it came to coal land claims of great expected : value and stand- ing in 'with the Cunninghams and Guggenheimes there was only one . claim in sight and hearing and that went in the most quiet way to the congressman from the Sixth district. Without thought or evi- dent conception of the real ] ethics ill the case the congressman calls \ a the transaction one that cannot be criticised , but there are those old fashioned enough to think differ- ently. " ' The railroads have announced an increase of more than 25 per cent in freight rates on meat pro- ducts from South Omaha to east- ern markets. It's time to make a kick. We see the power of wealth and special privilege corporations I in forcing higher prices. Our "infant indust ie , " - fostered by I republicanism , are now leading us by the nose. They also drive us around at w-ill under a bond of servitude that we seem unable to throw aside Where is the end to this domineering force under which we struggle ? Whither will f it lead us in the next twenty-five or fifty years ? They now appear to dictate with authority under protection and laws in opposition are declared unconstitutional.

It's a good thing that this is so because he has a great variety to select from. He should , however , use great care in selecting for the best results in health and . . strength. \ The widespread tendency in the city to increase the amount of Quaker Oats eaten is due very largely to the recent demonstrations by scientific men that I the Quaker Oats fed man is the man with greatest physical endurance and greatest mental vigor , , ! . Farmers should give this subject careful thought and should increase . the quantity of Quaker Oats eaten by themselves , their children and the farm hands. . 57 : . . . . . ; . , . - . . , . . . . . . : ; - : - . . . . .

I If people could only understand that systemic catarrh is an internal disease that external applications cannot cure , they would not need 1 to be warned so often abou.fc this I malady , which , when neglected , I paves the way oftentime for con- sumption , at the cost of millions of lives every year. Yet catarrh may , . be cured , if the right treatment is employed. | I Catarrh is caused by a general ] j + diseased state of the system which leads commonly to annoying and perhaps serious , local conditions , I which may prove a fertile breeding I . 1 ground for germs of consumption. I External remedies give bul ; tem porary eaFe. The only way to successfully treat catarrh is by employing a i medicine which is i absorbed and I carried by the blood to all parts of the system , so that the mucous ! I I membrane or internal lining of the I body is toned up and made capable I of resisting the infection of con- sumption and other diseases. We have a remedy prepared from the prescription of a physician who for thirty years studied and made : catarrh a specialty , and whose i ii I record was a patient restored to health in every case where his treat- ment was followed as prescribed. That remedy is Rexall Mucu-Tone. We are so positive that it will completely overcome catarrh , in all its various forms , whether acute or chronic , that we promise to re turn every penny paid us for the medicine in every case where it fails or'for any reason does not satisfy the user. . We want you to try Rexall Mucu- Tone on our recommendation and guarantee. We are right here where you live , and you do not con- tract any obligation or risk when you try Rexall Mucu-Tone on our guarantee. We have Rexall Mucu- Tone in two sizes , 50 cents and $1.00. Very often the taking of one 50-cent bottle is sufficient to make a marked impression upon the case. Of course in chronic cases a longer treatment is neces- sary. The average in such instances is three $1.00 bottles. Remember you can obtain Rexall Remedies in Valentine only at our store , - The Rexall Store. Chapman , The Drug- gist. . APPLES !
