HIILI.

The position OF q. S. Minister to Chill
fondly clugs to Kansas. That position
seems destined to be filled tor all time
TO come by Kansas men. 1T is good
trading material in "a Kansas Senatorial
campaign. Some fellow goes into the
contest with fifteen or twenty votes for
Senator, and comes Out commissioned
to Chill. 1t is whispered that the "preS-
ent incumbent" comes homo for the pur-
pose of gaining enough votes for
United States Senator to keep him, by
trading them, in the Chilli Office for an
other four years.

IytTGrRLIIGY CEREEONT.

It il proposed that some little cere-
mony shall accompany the Inauguration
of Geo T. Anthony as Governor. This
is sensible move. Hitherto the Gov
ernors of Kansas have stepped into Of
fec as unccrcmoniously as a county
commissioner. Even the "So help me
God" OF the oath has been bitten off and
the Governor gone right to work before
The ccno of the words had died away.
We want lite style in this Inaugural
ton business, as they have in other
states. The Governor of Kansas, too,
is entitled to more receptions than be
usually gets or gives. Make the Office
more stony" Don't treat the Governor
of the great State of Kansas as you
would three-doIlar-por-day-w hile-actu-
ally-in-scrvice. county-eommissioner. lie
isn't a nobody bat he will be considered
as such if the ola Inauguration routine
is pursued.

General Joe Shelby, cx-Coniederato
cavalryman, has causcd much excitement
in ST. Louis by taking the position that,
in event of disagreement OF the two
houses of Congress on the Protidentiai
question, President Grant is the most
authoritative exponent of tho wishes OF
the Government, aud his decision in iav-
or of Hayes or Tilden will be final. If
he should decide in favor OF Hayes, and
the Democrats should attempt 10 inau-
gurato Tilden, General Shelby declares
that he and thousands of ex-Conteder
ates Will be for Hayes and against Til
den.

No information has been received at
the army headquarters in regard to The
report of the massacre of Major Randall
and party by Crazy Horses band, but II
is thought the report may be true, as
Breyet Lieut.. Col. Randall is with Gen.
Crooks command and il is feared that
he may have been sent on mission TO
obtain scouts and ran into Crazy Horses
band. for which Gen. Crook has been
looking after for some time past. The
rcport as II reached Washington is, that
Major Randall and nearly ali the Indians
and OTHERS of his party were killed in
the Big Horn mountains.

q
in an article on the United States Sen
atorsbip the Troy Chief says:
We believe Gov. Osborn TO be the
loading candidate tor the position, and
the one likely to succeed, unless com
bination can be effected against him.
To begin with, tho Governor Is SncceSS-
i'll man. He has succeeded in obtaining
every position TO which he has seriously
aspired. lie is an active worker, and a
man calculated 10 draw around himself
active friends. a pushing, successful
man IS what Kansas wants IN the Sen
ate. Every move that be has made,
while Govcrnor, in the interest OF the
State, has been signal success. We
slictchcd the most prominent OF these,
IN an article few weeks ago. Kansas
upon the retirement OF Gov. Osborn, Is
a wholly different State from Kansas
upon his coming into the office. Oar
standing and prosperity have increased
in remarkable degree and it has been
mainly through the waichfulness and
ability Of the Governor.
The charges have heen made against
Gov. Osborn, that he Is trlckster,
thief, and n plundcrer, butit has Hot and
can not be shown where he has tricked
or stolen or plundcred the State OF Aaa-
sas out of single dollar. On the contra
ry, he has saved her thousands OF dollars.
1t was he who brought John Francis to
the State Treasures Office, sThcn Hayes
was forced to resign he fayorcd the re
election of Francis in preference TO Lap
pin and the moment Lappin' integrity
was suspected, he forced him 10 resign,
and again placed Francis in the office
all Of which has been endorsed by the
people. IN every official transaction,
his conduct has been in keeping with
the above. What better claim has any
man established to the United States
Sena;orship than Gov. Osborn?

SCHOOL REPORT.

Monthly report and examination
of the Walker School, ten miles
eest of Mexico, commencing Oct.
30th, and ending November the 2 otb,
1915.
Number Of pupils enrolled during
the month, AZ: Average daily at
tendance % SIG.
Average days attendance by each
10: Forty-three tardy marks during
the month.
The following are the names OF
those who passed An examination
and got 70 and over--on a scale
0 one hundred: Ida Skelly 80 liz
Katie Sicily and Lou Collins a5
Adore Davis SO Pc, Izettie Col
Inns and Mollie Eastman 80 and
Eddie Gisb 70.
There were ak visitors during the
month, and only m of those was a
patron of the school. Now, | hope
the parents will take more interest
in the progress and welfare of the
school in the future than they have
in the past.
Let shem encourage US by their
presence occasionally and not by
sending US word as to bow we are
getting along, because | know just
what progress we are making and
they do not. it does not only en-
courage me by having visitors. but
it encourages the pupil, and, hence,
l deem it the imperative duty of
each and every parent to visit the
school at least once during the term,
and as many more times as they
can. | do hope that all the parents
who may see this will head it, and
come and see US, because there is
nothing that has SO great influence
as the exchange of visits.
