IMPORTANT TO TRA HELER.S

a great many people are under the
impression, when about to travel
East or West, that it is cheaper to
purchase tickets to the nearest i'm
portant city or town and thence to
their destination.
Inquiry of any ticket agent of the
Burlington routes will prove the rates
quoted to be the lowest to all points
via. this line, as they are invariably
based on the most direct routes.
Daily fast express trains are now
run between Denver and Chicago and
Kansas City and Denver, and by a
recent arrangement with connecting
lines, through cars are run in connec-
ton with the Chicago express via. Pc

The Republican convention which
met at Phillipsburg, last Saturday, nom
mated as follows. Representative, John
Bissell, of Phillipsburg County At
toEney, Geo. w. Stinson, of Phillips
burg; Probate Judge, Il. G. Spaulding
of Philiipsburg; Clerk District Court,
G. A. Spaulding, of Phillipsburg
Commissioner I'd District, j. w. Dun
can also of Phillipsburg p. D. They
would have nominated more PhillIpsbuTg
men if they hadn't run out Of Offices
independent.
We suppose the foregoing is regarded
as anti-mouOpoly argument and c9nclu.
siVe rasons why men should not vote for
the ticket and perhaps we are to infer
that if the anti's should be elected :heir
post Office would not be Phillipsburg CT
that they would not come to the county
seat to hold their Offices, aud G. M.
Finch'S P. D. would continue to be
Logan and A. B. Palmer, the candidate
for District Clerk at Kirwin. We sug-
gest that that is a matter the voters
would do well to look after little before
casting their ballots. Several of the
names on the Republican ticket are the
present incumbents, men who by faith
ful performance Of duty have made a
record that has helped them to secure
this recognition and Of COURSE their pres
ent post Office is Phillipsburg, hut on
looking over the Roster of Phillips
county Offices we find that only one Of
the entire number, G. A. Spaulding,
were residents of Phillipsburg at the
time their election to the Office they now
hold. The residence of II. Moulton,
G A. Lewis, and A. G. Mcbride and
Of H. G. Spauldirg was KirwIn also
Frank Strain the outgoing County
Treasurer. j. W. loves old residence
was Mound Ritner Smith, Logan, w.
L. Morgan, Hillside. The Sheriff and
Coroner lived near here. Mr.. q. S.
Granger, County Commissioner, lives in
Arcade and Mr.. L. P. johnson in
Greenwood. D. L. Smith, County
Treasurer, is from Granite, with post
Office at Longis!and. So it will be seen
that Philhpsburg is not SO pigish as the
INDEPENDENT would have you believe.
We are not caring who the people send
US for county officers SO long as they do
in the future as they have IN the past
send US only good men, but when elected
we expect their post Office will be at
Philipsburg. Il will be difficult for the
INDEPENDENT to make it appear that il
is against man that he has obeyed the
law and held his Office and for conven,
ieuce has residence, at the county seat,

To the Friends of Prohibition In Mower
County.
The plans of the State Committee con-
template sending petitions to the Legisla-
ture in favor of an Amendment to the
Constitution prohibiting the liquor traffic.
The time is approaching for the meeting
of the Legislature and these petitions
should be circulated and the names of all
friends of the measure be secured, and
sent, in their own handwriting, to our
Senators and Representatives.
These representatives of the people
want to knew what their constituents de-
sire, and that they will be glad to do.
The Committee appointed at the Coun-
ty Convention last summer should attend
to this matter, and see that each town is
canvassed for signatures.
The form of the petition is as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned legal voters of
the Sd Senatorial district, County Of
Mower, do hereby petition your honor
able body to submit to the people Of this
state, for their approval or rejection, an
amendment to our Constitution, which
shall, in express terms, prohibit the manu-
facture and sale, or keeping for sale as
beverage, any kind of intoxicating lqu-
srs, Including distilled, fermented or
vinous, and that such an amendment be
submitted to the people at an especial cleo
ton to be held on the 4th Tuesday in
June, 1884, for that purpose. And your
petitioners will ever pray"
Now, let US send up such petition as
will show what we want.
If we do not make eur wants known,
we need not be disappointed if we do not
obtain our desires. f. r. LATHROP.

HAPPY, happy should be the home,
however humble, where there is no empty
chair, this Christmas time; no little stock
ing missing from its handy hanging place,
and every pillow occupied by its youthful
head. Yes, Christmas is coming, and
far happier is the poor man who has
enough to comfortably feed and clothe and
educate flock of bright, happy children,
than the lonely man of wealth who is a
stranger to the love and laughter of a
family of rollicking boys and girls. As
the world was blessed by the birth of the
Christ-child in the manger, so is every
home blessed that has children's love to
warm and brighten it. And from the
oldest to the youngest, let none be for
gotten in the Christmas joy-not even the
baby.
yves hang up the baby's stocking,
Be sure you don't forget,
Though the dear little dimpled darling
Has never seen Christmas yet"
