An InduIg gent Father.

MI. NJ. W. BEEN thinks that we belong
to the ring" as he terms it, which is ma
king war on him. He takes special Of
tense at our speaking, last week, of "three
reputable hotels in Wa-Keeney." We
confess, with entire sincerity, and with
the desire to do Mr.. BEEN justice in the
matter, that we expressed that statement
without due care or thought. We SIM
ply had not his hotel in mind when we
penned it. As far as we know, his hotel.
the Grand Central, is reputable. The
fact is, Mr.. BEEN himself, as we told him
the other day. is well enough thought of
by our people. The trouble is that he
persists In associating the punishment of
his boys for acts of lawlessness with de-
termined attack of the community on
himself. A greater mistake could hardly
be made. But there is no use to talk to
him. he viii not believe it. At the same
time, We say, IN all seriousness, that there
is something in that troubled old gentle
mans actions which enlists our admira-
ton. Without the parental feeling which
he possesses in so marked degree, hu-
man society would be no reality!

We have come across the information
that Mr.. 8. O. Opp, who is now stopping
at the Union House, is about to be en-
ployed as principal of the public schools
in this district. Mr.. Opp, we hear spoken
of as being about twenty-seven years old,
a native OF Pennsylvania, recently from
Iowa, and teacher of experience. It is
minated to us that the other teachers
will be Mrs. Fuson for the grammar de-

Concerning Candidates.

With this issue several new candi.
dates for county offices are announced.
Eli McCollum, for treasurer, lives in a
portion of the county which could not be
considered as more than holding it's own
IN possessing the residence of county
officials if he were to win. Mr.. McCol-
lum is an old settler, working man, and
what is always in ones favor, stands well
among his neighbors. They are said to
have favored, if, indeed, they did not in
spire, his candidacy for county treas
urer.
j. r. Kershaw, candidate for treasurer,
is clean cut business man, for whose
judgment in commercial transactions we
have almost unlimited respect, and in
whose honor no flaw has ever come to our
notice. So far as our people know Mr..
Kershaw, there would be no force in our
asserting that he will make model
county treasurer if he succeeds in his
candidacy. They know this already.
1t is seldom our privilege to write the
name of man who stands better where
he is known than w. 81. Damn stands in
Trego county. It is conceded on all
hands that he will make strong race for
the nomination for county clerk. If he
shall be made the nominee of the Repub-
icans, there will be no man on the ticket
whom the WORLD will give warmer sup
port.
c. j. Ferris, who is in his fourth year
as county surveyor, wishes to swap Of
Gces. In other words he is this time
candidate for probate judge. He pos
sesses genial disposition, and will make
faithful officer if the chance is present
ed.
And here comes lady who is after an
Office. Miss Ada R. Cliff, of this city, is
Republican, and she is after the nominal
ton for register of deeds at the hands of
the Republicans at their primaries. Miss
Cliff, we feel free to say, possesses the adj
vantages of good education, and has
had sufficient experience in the line of
work involved in the registers office to
render her competent to fill the position
with entire satisfaction. It may not be
amiss to say that this Office in several
Kansas counties is now filed by women.
Without any desire whatever to indicate
what should be the action Of our primas
ries II may not he ano,SS for M To sfafo
that the Republican conve ton of Dick
inson county, few days ago, nominated
one of the gentle sex for register of
deeds.

CUT YOUR CORN

As Is our custom, we started to condense
the following article, from the Lie. Stock
Indicator. We changed our mind. It is
produced in full, on the ground that not
word should be missed:
Every winter there are thousands of
cattle turned into the stalk-felds to pick
up the corn left by the shiftless farm
hands, and every winter we hear of scores
OF cattle dying from ~too much corn
stalks. Last week we advised farmers
to stack their straw, and although it will
be some time before corn is ready to har-
vest II is not too early 20 call the farmers
attention to the advantages of cutting and
shocking their corn. Corn-fodder is ex-
ceedlngly valuable as feed for stock. be-

sary to the well-being of any animal

OF the stock on the farm. The extra cost
OF putting up the fodder will almost be
met by the lost ears and ''nubbins" care

the money spent in saving the fodder.

much as the same amount left to rot and

straw stack that they may have free ac-

This week has been SO rainy that it is
hardly worth the while to take up time to
specify much. Monday night seven
tenths OF an inch fell. Tuesday night
brought perhaps as much more. Since
then it has been raining some. Notably,

afternoon. somewhat rainy. Never be-
fore, at this season of the year, has there
been anything to approach in seasonable-
