"Yours truly" had the pleasure OF II
little business trip to Kansas last Sun
day, and saw some very fine country
indeed. The roads were good, the
friend with whom he drove was agree
able, the very horses seemed to a
take of the joyousness of the occasion,
and, in short, it was a delightful drive
in the midst of the most beautiful sur
rounnings.

light here although there is much in
terest manifested as to the result of the
convention. Not a few express them
selves as having resolved not to vote
if they cannot have their favorite plac-
ed In nomination. No man loyal to
his party will suffer his own private
feelings as to whom he would prefer
as a candidate for president, to lead
him estray in any such manner. Such
men are usually tainted with those
worse than foolish notions born of
greenbackism. Surely there will be
sufficient wisdom found toexist among
the delegates sent by the people to
nominate a man for the Office of presi-
dent of this great republic, to place
such a man in nomination as all loyal
republicans can cheerfully support.

Special Correspondence OfTHE CHIEF.
Recently during my travels l had
the pleasure of meeting Charley Has
son of the firm of Hasson Bros, own
ers of the extensive sheep ranch about
three miles north of Cowles. They
have a lease of $50 acres upon which
they have erected a well finished frame
house of six rooms, sheep sheds 26x
i26, barn and other necessary build
ings. Their improvements have cost
about $4,000, and they have about 1000
sheep in their flock now. Charley,
who by the way is the best looking
and best tempered young bachelor l
have met, is undisputed master of all
his surroundings, and in answer to nv
suggestion that it would be proper and
might be pleasant to have a wife to
