resident of this town for q number o

The famous Gleason decision doesn't
interfere with County Attorney Amos
to any perceptible extent. He has
/. succeeded in getting information in
nine cases under the prohibitory law,
!. for the next term of court, as follows:
State vs. Yves Mathena, State vs.. R,
E. Fitzsimmons, State W.. Harmon
Shearen, State VS.. Ed Carlisle, State
VS.. John Book, State vs. Peter
son, State vs.. Brooks, State vs..
John Crane, State VS.. Lem Carlisle.
Several Of these parties "skipped'
from the wrath to come, and the 9th.
ers are under bond.
We suggested, the week after the
nominations were made, that Mr.. Ho-
bart would probably profit by the fate
of Donoho, Smith, ct. al, and decline
to enter the race for the Probate Judge

man who profits by experience, but he

the thing that is, is right. Allen coun-

reform that gives good officer steady

people, draws heavily upon Longfel-

Farewell, Excelsior! Get there !"
We publish in another column an
open letter to Leroy Runyan and Jas.
Flynn, to which we call the careful at
tention of those gentlemen and their |
friends. The letter was not written by
any of the republican candidates nor
is the writer of it personally interested
further than every good citizen |
should be-in the result of the election.
It simply sets forth a few considera-
tons that would be suggested by the
circumstances to every thoughtful and
right minded man. Considerations |
that, if thought of and meditated upon
in time, would certainly have preven-
ted our friends Runyan and Flynn
from occupying the compromising and
humiliating positions they now hold.
We have spent considerable, time
this week looking through the various
merchantile establishments in town.
and must confess that we are surprised
at the quantity of goods in stock. We
feel very sure that our dry goods and
clothing houses have never before
carried such immense stocks as they
have bought this fall, while the gro
GERS and other tradesmen have their
usual quantity of goods on hand. We
are convinced also that prices on all
things have never been lower within
our recollection. Let no one who has
been accustomed to do his trading in
lola, go anywhere else.to lay In his
supplies this fall. lola merchants will
make just as good prices as can be
made in Southern KansaD, and they
are all men you can trust to do the
square thing. They will not sell you
some staple at less than cost and then
make their loss back ten times on
some article upon which you are not
80 well posted. 1t pays to patronize
men you know.
The candidates on the re-submission
ticket and their friends, find them
selves involved in some strange and
inconsistencies some
times. John Gordon, Leroy Runyan
and Jim Flynn find it rather hard
work to explain how their present po-
sition on the prohibition question tai
lies with the one they have previously |
held, while Al Jones, a lifelong re-
is seeking his election at the
hands of the democrats. And even
the former editor of the COurdnt, when
he attempts to argue in favor of this
ticket, finds somebody's memory long
enough to ask him some impertinent
questions. At Geneva the other night,
for instance, he had made a glow
ing speech on the divine right of every
republican to "kick" and made the as
sertion that he had never voted
straight ticket in his life. At the
close of the meeting Rev. Irwin laid
his hand on his shoulder and said,
'How is this, Mr.. p? Four years ago
you made speech in this house in
which you urged us to vote the whole
ticket straight. Tonight you say you
never voted a straight ticket in your
life."
