AMERICANS SUFFER LEAST. HE OBSERVED NUMBER OF. CAREFULLY "BLUSHERS." European Girls Call Americans Unduly "Advanced and Calculating, but the Scientist Says Nay Reasons Why Blood Does Not Rise to American Cheeks. Vienna, July 28. Dr.

Eulenburg, the noted Vienna scientist, who has made an especial study of blushing, declares that it is a disease of the nerves and that the women of America suffer far less from the affliction than those cf Europe. Dr. Eulenburg recently re turned from a visit to America and hence speaks with some degree of au thority. Some very interesting cases of blushing among American society girls came under his observation. Eu ropeans, he says, are wont to call the American girl unduly advanced and calculating, but my observation shows that she has a great deal of sensitiveness for it.

she had not the blood would not rise so often to her cheeks on small provocation, or for no provocation at all. He tells or a certain Newport heir ess, extremely pretty, who was driven to forswear society because the unfor tunate affliction of blushing extended to her beautiful neck and arms and thus prevented her from appearing in full dress.

A number of the residents of the little town of Xenia, a small place about twenty-five miles northwest of this city, nave registered a remon strance against the present mail delivery system. They claim that the mail leaves their town about 2:30 daily and reaches Blue Mound a short time after the train pulls out for this city.

In this manner it remains in the post- ojce at Blue Mound for over twenty hours. It reaches this city the next afternoon too late for the afternoon delivery, and consequently is delayed three days in making the trip from the town of Xenia to its destination. The kickers think the time should be changed. By having the mail carrier leave their point a little earlier the mail could be taken by the afternoon Blue Mound train for this city.

A well known farmer residing a few miles northwest of town came In today and among other things told of a species of monster lizard which he says are to be seen in large numbers near his place. He says they measure over a foot in length and while none have attempted to destroy or attack any thing, the residents are pretty well worked up over their appearance and do not allow their small children to stray from home. The story was not believed by those who heard it, but the fellow told it in a tone of seriousness and declared that he had not exagger ated the story one bit.

He says the lizards resemble young alligators and that he attends capturing one of them to bring to town to convince the people just what kind of animals run at large near his place.

SAYS FIFTH DISTRICT IS ENTI TLED TO THE PLACE. Republican Leaders In That District Are Nearly All for the Junction City Man, He Says Mr.

Mack-ey Now Postmaster at Junction City. Abilene, July 28. William H. Mackey of Junction City will be Unit ed States marshal and the appointment will probably be made this week. Sen ator Burton has given out this state ment: "I have endorsed William H.

Mack ey, of Junction City, for United Stotes marshal, to succeed L. S. Cram I believe him to be the choice of a very large majority of republicans of the Fifth district. Each of the other dis tricts has been favored with one or more high federal appointments. So far the Fifth district has received no high federal place.

"Congressman Calderhead earnestly indorses Mr. Mackey, and so do all of the republican senators and representatives from the Fifth district, so far as I have heard from them, and I have heard from all except two or tiree. So it may be said fairly that the district is backing Mr. Mackey for this place. Other leading republicans from all parts of the state have also telegraphed me, heartily endorsing Mr.

Mackey. I know him to be splendidly equipped in every way for the position and believe that his appointment will meet with general approval from the republicans of Kansas." Mackey is now postmaster at Junction City and his appointment will open an interesting contest for this place. Colonel F. C. Culp of Sallna was the only other candidate for the place from the Fifth district, but Mr.

Mackey was ahead of him and rounded up the indorsements. A score of other names have been sent in with indorsements and it was to stop the scramble that Senator Burton has promptly made his recommendations known. He will go to Topeka tonight and remain two days. Junction City will give him a reception Friday night and he will make an address there, also, visiting Fort Riley, for the improvement of which he has been working. Topeka, July 28.

W. H. Mackey of Junction City, who is to be United States marshal, is not an old soldier. There are four big jobs marshal, pension agent, collector of internal revenue and district attorney. In the past old soldiers have usually had at least half of these places and the most of the time nearly all of them.

Burton limited the old soldiers to one place Crum for marshal. Now he uas taken that place from them. James Simpson, who is not a soldier, displaced Mike Sutton, who Is a soldier; Colonel Metcalf, a young soldier, took the pension agency job away from Cyrus Iceland, who is an old soldier. Dean, the district attorney, is not a soldier. With Mackey in as marshal the old soldiers will have been routed entirely.

Three old soldiers were applicants for the place which Mackey is slated for General J. K. Hudson, H. E. Ritchter of Council Grove, and Colonel E.

Her thoughts became "all mixed up" and she could not speak connectedly. She underwent treat ment for nervousness, but the doctors could not help her. Another singular case was that of a eading actress who consulted the doctor during his trip to the United States. She had ruined her complex ion, says he, by excessive use of white grease paint applied to cover her blushes, which marred her perform ance. She blushed whenever anything went wrong behind the scenes or on the stage, and had no control of her emotions.

Dr. Eulenburg has discovered that those addicted to blushing suffer less in summer than In the cold months, and that summer is the best time in which to be treated for the annoying disease. When a thunderstorm Is In the air and in the damp of the early morning and late at night persons addicted to the habit blush most often and most violently says the profes-1 sor. Strong men do not blush except! under extraordinary circumstances. Blushing men are seledom cured, for they are often sufferers from heart disease.
