WILLIAM OwsLEy HAxsFoRp, the Dem
ocratic nominee to represent Lincoln coun-
~ in The next Legislature, was born in this
county % years ago. Until the re-organi-
saiion Of the Democratic party In ls6s, he
was an cld-line Wing, and ss such was
elected to the Legislature for the term Of
~ to '5s. During the war he was an in
tense Union man, and on that account had
much influence with the Federal soldiers,
whom he kept from mistreating and rob
hing those Of his neighbors who sided with
the "Los, Cause." 10 1863, when the party
lines were drawn 30 that he had to choose
between the Democrats and the Republic
cans, he chose the former, and has
ever since labored and voted with that
party. A lawyer by profession, a thor
oughly honest and conscientious man in all
his dealings, he will, with his Legislative
experience, make the county most excel
lent Representative, and ID shonld he the
pride Of every Democrat to swell his ma
joriiy ss great as possible. His position on
the questions that must come before the
next General Assembly Is sound and con-
servaiive, and his choice for the Senate is
the choice Of the people-IIon. James B.

How usvE the mighty fslleng Three
weeks ago, while occupying the position Of
L. s. Senator from the great State Of New
York, Conkline, who had been uaed to
having things HE own way, and felt as Y he
we're holding up the whole world by Il.
tail, few into q passion because the Presi-
dent refused 10 knuckle 10 him, and not
onl, resigned his seat himself hut forced
his poodle, Plat, to do likewise. No
thought other than that he would he inn
mediately reelected by the Legislature Of
New York, then in session, seemed to enter
his head, and he bundled up his traps ard
with bis little man, Plat, at his heels
struck out for Albany. His first effort was
to get the members into caucus, but they
refused to be dictated to and Conkling suf-
fered his first defeat Matters then assum.
ing somewhat Of torrid shape, an adj
iournmeni Of the Legislature till TuesdNy
last was effected. shorn Of his greatness
and Inundated by defeat, Conkling re-
turned to New York City, where he spent
the interim with his friends devisine ways
and means, returning to Albany on Mon
day. Tuesday at IL the balloting COM

acting separately, when Conk. got but 90
votes in the House and Q in the Senate

elect, this WIS very humilisting to the
Crested Jayhawk, and unless the Demo
Gratis interfere or a mighty change comes
over the spirit Of the dreams Of the "lislf-
Breeds" las those Republicans are called
who oppose Conk., caused by the gingle Of
money in their ears, il is pretty safe to
foretell that the ex-senator will not be
his own successor. But what Of P!att ?
He fares even worse than his boss, receiv-
ing but 90 votes in all. Wednesday, a
Joint ballot was taken, with the same re-
suit. The friends Of the administration
are jubilsnt and confident that Conkling
will be left; but HE followers present
cheerful front, and say that he will yet
come out victor, and that he is only wait
ing to make the surprise more astonishing.
The general opinion seems to be against
him, however, ard the impression pre-
vail that he will be the one to experience
the surprise-thst is, he will wake up one

Arthur, the cur whom Conkling took by
the tail and swung into the National Con-

descending to the low level Of hummer,

THE reason assigned by scores Of Demo-
Gratis for their failure to vote in the pri-

As THERE was no opposition to the
candidacy Of Mr.. A. r. Clarke, Of Casey,
for the Senate, he is. Of course. the nominee
on the Democratic ticket. MIR. Clarke was
born in Grant county, and is about thirty
seven years Of age. Acquiring by his own
industry good common school education,
he studied law and afterwards moved to
Pulaski, where he practiced for n short
time, going thence 10 the green fields of
Casey. There he united the noble employ
ment of teaching the young idea how to
shoot with his profession until he got
foothold, and at present he enjoys good
practice. He Is a sound Democrat and man
Of honor. and II behooves the party to see
that he Il elected. Let no one think that

How 70 Get Rid Of Aao.auitoes.

Mn. EDTroR DO you like mosquitoes? II you
do then have nothing further tosay Enjoy their
friendly greeting of an evening after exhausting
days work in this ene-vating climate; be enchanted
with their company when they have formed an open
ing i'll your netting and propose to entertain you
for the night
Their attractions are pointed, and they have not
the least objection TO sealing your friendship with
your blood.
But if YOU would feel no grief to be rid of them,
will tell you how you can accomplish it. Not by
killing the mOsuuitO-once mosquito he is mos
quito forever-til he is crushed. No, you must
work the coming generation. A mosquito is
short lived-only few months. The female lays
one batch of eggs, about 200 in number. They are
deposited on the surface of still water in a little
boat-shaped, dark-coloured mass which cannot be
capsized About the third day they hatch, each one
n wriggler, and in a week or two the wriggler has
grown TO its full size and changes to another form
of wriegler: in few days the latter opens his big
head on the surface and fairy like being rises erect
from the opening and, if not drowned by some dis
turbing force capsizing it, flies away mosquito.
Now, when the water is full of wrigglers you
MIGHT boil il and thus kill them-but that would be
inconvenient. The way 1 do it-and have no
mosquitoes except they come from my neighbors,
| skim of the masses of eggs about every other
morning-if fail to do it for three mornings in
succession n crop of wrigglers comes out, and the
same if one block of eggs is overlooked. / use a
wire-gauZe skinner fastened in a loop of large
wire which is fixed in an old hoe-handle, so l can
dislodge them with thump.
When began to destroy the eggs in this manner
I sometimes took off 10000 in morning;-now
seldom find more than a block or two.
tub of water, wOodan vessel is best perhaps,
quite necessary-part full only-is set in quiet,
shady place. IL mus: have plenty of decaying veg
etable matter in it, and the should shine in 1t
at least part of the day.
1t should not be often disturbed.
Mrs. NJ. is very particular, but if all the above
hints are attended to- success is certain.
