A FdLSE TEACHER.

The action Of the Kiowa Herald in
refusing to support the nominee of the
democratic party for the Office of county
upelintendent. has called forth the
seye EFT criticism from the best demo
Gratis Ina the county. We know all of
the circumstances connected with tie
placing Of Mrs. Horizons name on the
ticket and we can offer no apology for
the conduct OF the editor Of the Herald.
Mr.. j. ". Simmons. He was present
alta meeting of the county central com
mittee when ii WAS stated that Mr..
COb!e would likely withdraw, and he
heard the members of that committee
express them selves on the subject, and
at that time She dill not raise his voice
against Mrs. Horizons name being sub
stituted fer Mr.. COble's, in the event of
that gentleman declining TO run. Mr..
Simmons also voted for resolution
which authorized the appointment of a
sub committee Of three with power to
iill all vacancies on the ticket and he
was satisfied with the three men select
ed 10y the chairman, tO-wit: w. g.. Al
ford. ". Il. Williams and J. o. Burner.
And these are the men who put Mrs.
Horizons name On the ticket. Their
action was in accordance with the gen.
eral understanding of the full commit
tee and il is in accordance with the
wishes of the best democrats in Barber
county. Their action has received the
sanction of every democratic nominee
aud it should have received Tie support
of Mr.. J. NJ. Simmons, editor of the
KIOwa Herald. a member of the county
democratic central committee and the
editor of an alleged democratic paper
IL would have received his support and
sanction had he been educated in a reg
ular democratic school.
This IN the second instance, this year
where Mr.. Simmons has kicked out o.
/ the party traces and refused to supper
the regular nominee. This first occur
ed when lie refused to put up the nam
of one of the nominees of the state con
veutiOn, putting his judgement ant
preferences against body of the mos
intelligent democrats III the state. 70
this derelictness of plain duty, but lit
tie has been said heretofore; but nov
that he las again refused to be guide
by the action Of the majority; that h
has hOisted the name of q straight re
publican; that he has seen fit to pu
that name under the democratic head
ing of tie regular democratic ticket
we cannot see how lie can longer clair
to be conducting q straight Democrat
paper. II is nothing of the kind, AL
its editor is bolter from the party tina
has hOnOred him ON its ticket, and Ii
has set n bad example for the demo
Gratis he pretends to teach.
We will say nothing of his unlind a
lusiOns TO the lady in this case. W
believe the lady TO he worthy and we
qualified for the Office. We will NJ
discuss the personal differences exis
ing between Mr.. O'Shee and Mr.. Sin
mons, for we know nothing of tho
likes or dislikes; but we do know tn;
Mr.. Simmons course IN this matter
without the sanction Of the party ,
which lie claims TO he u member. \
good democrats are for Mrs. Horton.

IL Is currently reported that the ennis
saries Of Judge Hardy are circulating
among the drug stores of the county
and urging the owners to vote for the
present incumbent Of the office. as he
is "all right"-whatever that means.
We believe that il is generally admitted
that Judge Hardy has a wonderful fac
ulty of being all things to all men, but
we are surprised to bear of him desert
ing his prohibition friends in order to
capture the drug store influence. His
competitor, MIR. Proctor. can offer bet
ter inducements for the support of the
sensible electors lie offers honesty.

The Kentuckian Hotspur.

mel cried McGary, putting an end to
all prudent counsel on the eve of the
dreadful battle of the Blue Licks. The
Kentuckian WINGED under the implica-
ton then, and has done it in thous-
and instances since. Overbravery! The
idea runs through all the anachronistic
pages of Kentucky history, drawing
them back into the past centuries of his
race. 1t is this quality of temper and
conception of manhood that has opera
ted to build up in the mind of the world
the ridiculous figure of the typical Ken
tuckian. Hawthorne conversed with
an old man in England who told him
that the Kentuckians tiayed Tecumseh
where he fell, and converted his skin
into razor-straps. Collins, the Ken
lucky Froissart, speaking of Kentucky
pioneers, relates of the father of one of
them that he knocked Washington down
in quarrel, and received an apology
from the Father of his Country on the
following day-a little man, too. His
son was the second Pepin of the house
coming to this State, and here faithfully
nourishing his family and his temper so
long as he lived-the representative OF
many. have been quick to mention
this typical Hotspur figure, and to cast
upon it the sulphurous side light of his
toric Renaissance, because l knew it
would come foremost into the mind OF
the reader whenever one began to speak
with candor of Kentucky life and char
acter. Better have it up and be done
with it. 1t was never a faithfully true
face: satire bit always into burlesque
along lines of coarseness and exaggera.

The Printer and His Hens.

We have printer in this office who
has gone into the chicken business for
all it is worth, We will call him ''Slug
Two" Slug Two was led to this
step by the awful price of eggs. He
ordered dozen hens from a country
dealer, figuring that each hen would lay
an egg day. This would be seven
dozen week, which, at the present
market price, would be S1,S5. As their
keeping would cost but 25 cents week,
it would require little figuring to show
that Slug Two would be the gamer of
S1.5O each week that he kept these hens.
The chickens were promptly delivered.
The first day he did not expect the hens
to do anything, as it would take them
one day to get used to their new quar-
tiers. But the second day he put on a
Sub" and stayed at home TO gather
eggs. Early in the morning the chickens
commenced growing. He straightway
repaired to the house.
'.My DEAR" said he to his wife, ''do
hens crow?"
"Why certainly" said she, "but when
they do it is a sign of bad luck"
He watched all day, but there was no
increase in the egg output. The second
day resulted the same, when he consult
ed a German lady.
Hens won't lay in the winter season
unless they are kept in a warm place, "
said the oracle.
Then he brought in couple of the
chickens and put them in the baking
oven. Their sufferings were very soon
over.
81 believe there is something in the
saying that Growing hen brings bad
luck" muttered ''Slug Two" Then he
was advised to buy them small grain
and feed them oats; to feed them meat,
and he bought porter-house steak and
chopped it up for them. But not single
egg could be got Worn out, disguised
and about SIS out of pocket, he was
about to kill the hens and get the eggs,
which he had no doubt they were carry
ing around through pure perversity,
when his wife advised him to sell them
He brought around an intending pur-
chaser yesterday, who no sooner looked
at them than he commenced laughing.
whats the matter?" asked "Slug
Two" Have got them too fatp''
''Mein Colt, no." roared his neigh
Dor, "but dem hens are all ROSTERS"
1t was too true. ''Slug Two" had
been lavishing all his time, labor and a
good deal of meat on male specimens of
the feathered tribe. He says the next
time he goes into the poultry business
he'll buy hog.-Peoria Transcript.
