AN UNwaRRANTED BOLT

We learn from persons who hive seen
it and been asked 10 sign il, thar a pa
per is being circulated in g.mporia for
The purpose of obtaining signatures of
Republicans TO thus pledge themselves
not to vote for GOYerno. ST. John. No
true friend OF The Republican party
will countenane,s or aid such an unwar-
ranted bolt, and the alleged Republicans
who are lending encouragement to this
movement shout be spotted aud ranked
among the enemies nl the party 70 which
they profess 'tllel,ien Governor ST.
John was nominated by an So ;rwiiclm-
ing majority q! the driegstcs chosen by
the Republican vpIers .t Kansas, and
there is no reason why ho should not re-
ceive the vote OF every loyal member of
tb party in The state.
here was much opposition in many
Quart ers to the reuomination q. The head
of the Republican ticket, but it has new
er been eli eimed, even by his most bitter
antagonists, that there was anything I'M
fair in the mariner OF Ills nomination or
that his candi. lacy was Ent IN harmony
with the pronounced sentiment of q very
large proportion IF the Republican vot
ers of this state. Aside from all this, he
has demonstrated his ability to fill with
honor 10 himself and State the position
of governor, and there has been
nothing IN his official career 10 forfeit
the regard or confidence of the c"ntitu-
ency which has twice placed him in the
gubernatoriai chair.
The fight which is made against him
is waged by the -prohibitionisis OF
his own and other parties, and ii is to
break down the wise and wholesome
legislation against the liquor traffic in
Kansas that the bolt against the head OF
the Republican ticket has been organ
lied in different parts of the state. This.
i: is needless Ia say. is kicking against
the pricks Prohibition is the settled
policy of this state, and it is ST. Johns |
ardent advocacy of this principle that
has given HIM his main strength. The
boilers may, by their folly, cut down |
the splendid Republican majority which |
Kansas owes il tn herself To roll up this |
year, but they can never defeat |
the man who has made such q |
noble fight against the rum
evil and has accomplished such |
grand results in the direction of |
reform. We appeal to all
Republicans to stand by the ticket which |
was placed in nomination by the fair
action OF the representatives of the Re
Publican voters of Kansas, and to turn a
deaf ear to the mar-plots who are seek
ing to aid and abet the Democracy by
stirring up strife and division in the Re-
publican ranks. The country this year is
much of the Republicans of
Kansas. Let us see that it is not disap-

A Neat Invention.

Topeka Capital: Superintendent
Chase, of the a, T. 81 S. f., has in his
possession neat little invention for use
of special and fast trains. 1t quite often
happens that parties on board this class
of trains dosirEs TO send kilograms, ami
by this invention the slowing up, some
times stopping, of trains TO deliver the
message to the station operator is done
away with. The invention is 10y John
NJ. Toucey, general superintendent of
the New York Central railway, and con-
sists simply of very heavy piece of
pasteboard, cut to fit an envelope. which
is distinguished by two red marks so
that when thrown from the train the op-
orator will at once understand Its i'm
portance. The telegram is written on
the usual thin paper, wrapped around
the pasteboard and sealed in the en-
velope, which is thrown on the platform
of the first telegraph station as the train
speeds by. The weight of the paste
board prevents the possibility of the
telegram being blown away, and it is
found by the operator and soon the mes
sage Is at its destination. This inven
ton is in use on the New York Central
and will probably soon be used on many

Welsh VOcaIists.

The following taken from the Wilkes
barre, (Pa) Record of the Times, Oct.
14th, will be of interest to the many
Welsh vocalists of this vicinity, many
of whom are from the WiIkesbarre

the choirs mentioned:
In past years the Welsh vocalists OF
the Anthracite coal region have given
many evidences of their worth Us sing.
ers; particularly in choral singing.
They have also had some fine opportun-
tiles of displaying their accomplish
ments in this direction, but such op-
pOrtunities are comparatively small
when compared with the chance offered
TO choral societies at the coming bi-cen-
tennial celebration in Philadelphia.
None of the choirs allowed TO compete
at this celebration will contain less than
800 members. The choral singing, il is
generally supposed, will be the grandest
ever heard IN this country. The prInci-
pal prizes are 81. ECO, $500 and 5000
The last mentioned amount is Ia be Civ

The Kansas CITY Hog Market

Phil Armour, in an an interview with
a Chicago Tribune representative, says
that Chicago, as hog market, is about
at a standstill, but that Kansas City is
making great strides in this direction.
There is probably no one better quail
fed to express an opinion on this sub
ject than is Mr.. Armour, and it Is evil
dent that he thoroughly understands the
causes that are contributing TO make
this city in the near future the great
hog market of the world.-Kansas City
Journal.
In this connection we might say that
the News recognizes the importance Of
the Kansas City stock markets, and is
the only paper southwest of Topeks
which publishes every day the market
of the afternoon of the same day. The
report is made up at the stock yards by
the well-known and reliable commission
firm of Andy J. Snider s. Co.. rooms 2;

A YicIona C.u.

Monday about noon Mrs. A. II. Bragu-
nier, who lives at No. ~ Union street,
was attacked by an enraged COW and
narrowly escaped death. AS it was she
was severely injured in the mouth and
ear and her clothes badly torn by the
dangerous animal. 1t seems the COW is
one that Mrs. BragunSer was taking care
of for her use and it was
allowed to Craze upon the blue
grass in the yard. A number of
school children passing excited the COW
SO that she made an effort to jump the
fence. A passer-by helped the lady to
get the animal in the enclosure again,
when the COW turned upon both, threw
Mrs. b. down, iDIuring her as above de
scribed. But for the timely aid Of
ID. L. Campbell and Alfred Reynolds the
accident might have been a fatal one.

The Republican meeting At Sec
ton on Saturday night was a complete
success. The school house was filed To
lis utmost capacity, and the greatest in
terest was manifested in the addresses,
which were of a very able character.
The speakers were Hon. G. W. Sutton,
Col. Feighan, S. B. Riggs, J. g. Tray
lor and J. E Klock. The issues of
the day were thoroughly canyassed
and cogent reasons set forth why
Republicans should rally to the support
of the local and state tickets. and score q
handsome majority this year. The can
didates present all made friends, and
Mr.. Riggs did excellent service by his
able calculation of the financial and 9TH
or questions. The canvass thus, far has
been quiet one, but there is ne lack OF
earnestness among the Republicans. who
are warming up to their work as the
campaign progresses.

School Notes.


The first month of the city schools
closed with last week. Although the
most of the rooms are crowded, the
years work has commenced very favora-
bly,. 1t is most probable that the south
avenue building will not be ready to be
occupied before the first of November.
There are weekly additions made 10 our
number, yet none who have never at
tended school are at present admitted.
It is very necessary for patrons send
ing children to school that they should
be able to give the following items:
Their own name, the name of their pa
rents age, residence, street and avenue.
The whole number enrolled, exclusive of
those sent home is $50 pupils; of these
612 are in the primary, 296 are in the
grammar department and 4s in the high
school. In the primary 2s2 are males
$50 females; in the grammar 1913 are
males and ITO females in the high school
20 are males and % females; ALB are en-
rolled at the Garfield Building; 1872 at
Constitution street; 90 at Sixth aven-
ne; 81 at Second avenue; 242 at Union
street. There have been only
two cases of truancy. We ask as favor
to your children that you viii send ex-
cuses with your children when detained
at home, for while the parent knows
the reason, the teacher is entirely ignor-
ant of the fact. The responsibility of
our children rest upon some one at all
times-when at home on the parent and
when at school on the teacher. The diff
ficulty always arises when the RESPONSE
bility changes from parent to teasher or
vice versa. We expect that when
child is once enrolled he is responsible
to be present every day at school. unless
the parent desires to retain him at
home and in order that there should be
no misunderstanding, We simply ask
that the parent notify the teacher that
the child has been detained by the
parent. Come and visit your children
in school O.
