Dry kilns, machine shop, wood working
shop, car erecting shop, coach erecting
shop and cabinet shop.
These departments will be under one roof
and are grouped together in the form of a
cross, the wood working and car erecting
shops forming the longer arm, the machine
shop and coach repair shop the shorter arms,
while the cabinet shop is over the coach re-
pair shop, this portion of the building being
two stories in height.
These buildings will be built Of brick and
the walls will be twenty-five feet high. The
roof will be supported by howe truss, with
the upper chord inclined sufficiently to afford
the proper pitch for the roof. The trusses
viii be supported by the walls and there will
be no intermediate posts, so that the floor
space will be entirely clear.
This form of truss gives a roof of the Man
sard type, aud advantage will be taken of
this to secure additional light by means of
an upper tier of windows or dormers. At the
crown of the roof will be large texas or
lantern, which viii serve to light the center
Of the shop and also to ventilate the same.
The windows in this lantern will be hung
upon swivels. The interior of the shop will
be painted a dark color to the height of six
feet from the floor and the rest will be white
washed. Three tracks will enter and extend
through the car erecting shop and the center
one will be extended on through the wood
working shop. Two tracks run through the
machine shop and three through the coach
repair shop.
There is also cross track running at right
angles TO those mentioned above. with turn
tables at the different intersections permit
ting the transfer of material from one shop
to another or from one track to another in
the shortest and most convenient way The
engine room, boiler house, shaving and dust
tower, and chimney adion the wood work
ing shop. All Of the sh2vlngs and dust that
originate from the work in this shop will be
taken from the machine by exhaust fans and
conveyed to the shaving tower. where large
portion of the dust is separated from the
shavings because of its less specific gravity,
and passes to tue dust tower, the shavings
remaining in the shaving tower and being
/. taken thence as they are needed for fuel

Voters should be very careful about
crediting stories and scandals, eircu-
lated on the eve Of election, when they
know it would be too late for dehial.
We are sorry to say that there are low
lived miscreants who take advantages
to vilify honest men when they can do
so without the chance of contradiction.
The county, campaign has been in pro-
gress now for nearly two months, and
if there is anything awfully bad about
the different candidates, it should have
been made public before this time. So
in common justice to all the gentlemen
in the field we would say,-make due
allowance for all sensational stories cir
culated just on the eve of election.

Wa would call the attention of our
readers to the record of Gov. Click on
the railroad question which will be
found on the seventh page of this paper.
But Notwithstanding the democratic
Governors position on that question,
and Notwithstanding the fact that dem
ocracy has in Topeka, two candidates
for the State Senate, who are railroad
attorneys, yet the anti-mOnopolists of
this county are hugging the unterrifed
passionately to Their bosOms, iunder the
delusive hope that it may hoist some of
them into county office. Vain hope!
And all the time they are bowling for
railroad legislation. Oh, consistency!
Thou art full-jewelled stem-winder.

THE CANDIDATES

A vote for Cleveland and Hendricks
means a vote for free trade, catering
to English snObbery and the degrade
ton Of American labor. On the other
hand vote for Blaine and Logan means
a firm faith in American ideas, protec-
ton to American Industries and the ele-
walton of American labor.
A vote for George W. Click means a
vote for anarchy, for free whiskey, and
for railroad corporations. while a vote
for John A. Marin means that you are
in favor of law and order, of q reasnna-
bic restraint of the liquor traffic and d
just regulation Of transportation rates.
A vote for Lewis Hanback, means a
vote for protection and the continuance
of republican national ideas, but q vote
Tor l.. Q. Uhl is a vote towards free trade
a solid south, and the supremacy of the
antiquated notions of democracy
A vote for H. S, Granger means that
you are in favor of a republican United
States Senate, in favor of law and or
der, In favor of just railrOnd legislation,
and in favor of man who has the
brains and ability to bring honor to an

His Accidency," Gov. Click, the
man who gloried in the fact that the
city of AtchisOn would trample upon
the laws of the state; a man who super
ceded his authority as executive, and
assumed the prerogatives Of the Su-
preme Court; man who, as chairman
of the railroad committee in the legis-
lature of the state, reported adversely
to all bills relating to the regulation Of
traffic, is indeed a sweet specimen to
ask for the suffrages of the law-abiding
freemen of the state of Kansas,

sUMPTUARY LAWS.

Webster defines sumptuary laws to
be ''such as restrain or limit the expen-
81 ses of citizens in apparel, food, furni-
s'ture or the like" Nothing is said in
regard to drink, and yet the democratic
party have distorted it into meaning
free whisky, and appeal to the appe-
tites of the slums of the cities and conn
try, for support. If the democratic
party, by being opposed to all sumpt-
uary laws,' mean that they are op-
posed to all laws regulating the sale of
Intoxicating liquors, and expect there
by to gain strength from the mass of
respectable citizens of this great coun-
try they are IabOring under a fatal de-
fusion. People may disagree upon the
mode Of regulating the sale of whisky,
but there are very few who do not
think that come restraint should be en-
plOyed. Some may believe that the
high license system is the best, some
base their faith in local option, while
others adhere to prohibition but how
ever they may Disagree on those meth
DDS, a large majority of the intelligence
of this country believe that there should
be some rest.aint of law placed upon
the traffic. The present age is too en-
hghtened for the doctrine of absolute
free whisky, and democracy viii find
that particular plank in their platform
lacking sufficient riYets.

Yonge, of Belcit, as an exponent of

min F Butler, the standard bearer of
the anti-mOnOpoly party, in speaking of
the democratic national convention,
said: "the convention must protect
labOrers to win" In other words, his
platform is in favor Of protective tariff.

whisky and re-submission. Your
'smass convention" composed of thir-

uanY succOtash with democracy, re-
solved in favor Of re-submission; but
there is a large element in the anti-mo-
nopoly party who are opposed to re-
submission, and are in sympathy with
present law. The democratic and
green5ack parties differ materially on
the financial question, as well as upon
many other important Issues. Now
Sir, you cannot be elected without the
united support Of both those parties.

hold them under control. The project OF
organizing Q labor union 10 again under

from both the industrial and mercantile
classes throughout the county. The miners
see the errors which caused the ultimate
destruction OF their old os.aaisatiou, and
the men who have the new organization in
hand are cool, level-headed men. who rec
cgnize the fact that the labor under unions
the past died from the commuuisiic vio-
lence and ARBITRARY measures Of the
men who guided il. They do not
propose to organize the union for
the purpose OF clashins with the
com panies on account OF every trihius
disagreement and make every laborer's
quarrel the cause OF o strike, but time has
forced them into the belief that II they do
not band together there will be no restraint
on the companies or operators 10 prevent
them from cutting wages as they please.
For the past three years the reduction Ia
wages has been systematic and steady.
