Concerning Candidates.

Chas. H. Gibbs, as will be seen else
where, is candidate for the nomination
FOR county treasurer at the hands OF the
Republican party at the primaries on the
tenth day Of next month. Charley is an
old settler, a successful business man,
and popular wherever. he is known. II
the mantle of victory is to be thrown
over his form, the people OF Trego county
will have no room for complaint.
George Baker is a candidate for sheriff
again. There is perhaps not a man in
the county who, under the same circum-
stances, would not be. He has made a
model officer in every respect. There has
been. no brag or fuss and feathers in his
administration. What there has been for
him to do, ne has done fearlessly, cheer
fully and efficiently. AS yet, no opposi-
ton to him has asserted itself and the
Republicans of Trego county will reflect
credit On their Judgment if they remain
united in securing the nomination and
election of Mr.. Baker. We think it fair
to assume that Trego county holds a
great many men who, like ourself, see in
the official conduct of Sheriff Baker very
much to commend.

If we had to single out one from the
many pleasant calls we are in the habit OF
receiving at this Office, we perhaps would
have to make an exception in favor of
that by Master Willie Stayt on Monday.
He stepped in with a smile over his face
and straight look from his brown eyes,
said, 'Good morning" and added,
with a sweetly modulated, kind,
but earnest voice, 81 guess you made a
mistake in your paper last week" We
asked him how. He stated, in the same
frank, pleasant manner, that our boy was
not on his trapeze when he fell, but was
at another place. We told Willie that we
had been misinformed, were sorry, and
would give him justice in this week s pa
per. 1t frequently happens that news
paper Internationally places men in
false light. Few of them are as brave as
Willie Stayt in coming to the Office, and
stating the case fairly. We suspect that
Wilieis bone training has sometime to
do with his honorable methods.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
the advertisement of Hogin & Cowick,
lawyers and land agents. OF the compe-
tency of these gentlemen we have high
opinion. Mr.. Hogin was admitted to the
practice of law in 1873 He has practiced
his profession in both Iowa and Kansas.
Mr.. Cowick is lawyer of experience and
a public-spirited gentleman He was for
years the secretary of the Atchison coun-
ty, Mo-, Agricultural and Mechanical as
ISOLATION, and took a leading part in the
building up Of the important town Of
Tarkio, in that county. This fact will be
better realized when we add that he ran
newspaper also. We request that our
friends give these gentlemen a vote of
confidence to the extent OF seeing whether
we have over-estimated them.

POOR OLD JACK.

Ellsworth has crazy old apology for {
man whose proper place is in the asylum
for the insane This view is charitable
toward z. Jackson. To call him sane, is
to brand him demon. He thinks he
writes for newspaper. He really
scratches off very badly arranged billings
gate for privy poster which he calls the
News. It has been more than year
since we sent copy Of the WORLD to
Jacksons den. His privy poster still
comes to this Office. It is of no possible
value, and this explains why he can af-
ford to give it away. The cap, small cap.
and italic tumble, tar ink and rotten pa
per with which this old man thinks he
fights nearly all his neighbors form an ell
egant emetic for any respectable newspa-
per man. But the good people of ELS
worth are abundantly able to take care of
themselves.
This old crank was deposed from the
Ellsworth postmastership some two years
ago. Since then he has hated Hanback,
and every friend of Hanback's. The
brainless old puppy, in his privy poster
of this week, says: "None but 7hiet
would suggest the name of W. S. Tilton
for state auditor" He capitalizes and
italicizes thief. His elegance of diction
would not be reflected fairly with the
word formed any other way. What we
want now is to call the attention of our
newspaper friends to this miserable old
excrescence on Kansas journalism. After
his characterize lack Of character, we
mean-is understood, we are content.
We are not candidate for state auditor
but good many of our editorial friends
have named us in very pleasant terms
for the position. We value above price
their friendship, and shall always try to
merit il,

Geo. Steele lives in Ness county. He
started to take about thirty head of cattle
belonging to A. n. McLenan, of Els
worth, through the last winter. He got
through with three or four Of them. On
the ground that he should have shown
the hides, Nc. refused to pay Steele.
Steele sued him for one hundred dollars
damages. Dispositions in the case were
taken at this place last Saturday. On the
18th inst, dispositions viii be taken at
Buffalo Park. Dispositions are to be
taken at another place or two. Nelson
represents the prosecution, and Sam
Smith, of Ness City, the defense. This
seems to be the Clarke-G Greenwood case
over again On smaller scale.

red before, and has not since. Register
Hanna, with his regular urbanity, informs
us that on that day thirty-seven home

County Surveyor Ferris has been
surveying another new town site this
week. As usual, it is in Cove county. It
is about seven miles west of Collyer, the
same distance east of Buffalo Park, and
on the great q. P. railway, Kansas Divis-
ion. There seems to be sort of con-
spiracy to keep back the name of this
embryo city. At any rate, we have not
yet heard it.

"A ruling of considerable interest to
land seekers and their attorneys has just
been handed down from the commissioner
of the general land Office. 1t embraces
the proposition that, ON the opening of
the o. S. land Offices at the regular morn
ing hour, mail matter shall have the prec-
edence over business at the counter.
This ruling will perhaps have decided
tendency toward resisting the formation
of the big crowds which of late have been
formed just outside the door of the land
Office at this place, ready to walk in at 9
o'clock. We speak of these crowds, how
ever, with entire respect. We never
knew of any misbehavior on their part.
In fact, the fairness of this recent ruling
of the land commissioner does not show
up very plainly to the writer.

of Morse & Newell, OF Wa-Keeney, does,

cupy too much space for us to follow him

states. he has just 'slocated for the prac-
tice of his profession.

j. VIII Lawrence is the kind of a
neighbor we like to have. When he has
a corner on news, he reveals it to a
WORLD reporter, and thus gives the peo-
pie the benefit thereof. Lawrence &
Hall, he tells us, have sold ten beef cows
to W. S. Harrison, whose average weight
is 1,204 pounds, and one of which weighs
1,51O pounds. Will says he knows that
these COWS have lived exclusively on the
buffalo-grass range for two years past.
They are four years old. He wants
somebody to make better showing than
this in range cattle-if it can be done.

1t is becoming evident that some, if
not all, of the candidates for county off,
ces have something which they desire to
air in explanation or extenuation of their
candidates.. These things generally are
personal to themselves. The regular
prices for business local notices will,
therefore, be charged for communications
of this character.

Tuesday was a great day for late
trains at this place. Out in Colorado,
between Bagdad and Hugo, we learn
from Mr. Patterson, the accommodation
train coming east became detached on
the main track. One part of the train
ran into the other part, knocking seven
freight cars from the track, and MASKING
them badly. This wreck delayed about
four hours the express train which was
due at Wa-Keehey at Tbs A. NJ. This
side of Buffalo Park, the express train
was delayed about four hours longer by
the engine giving out. The accommoda-
ton arrived here, we believe, about 2
o'clock Wednesday morning.
