buyers were in the city the past week. Miss
Bertha Asche was kept at home q few days

lie school is crowded and no children are adj

Zentmyer of Dover township was visiting
his sister, Mrs. Sparks, last Sunday 14th. The
republicans of Montana resorted to many
schemes to beat the democrats. In many
counties they put unknown women on the
ticket, knowing we'll that a ''rustlerr would
vote for q woman even if it was for nothing
else but q joke. The only hope of the g. O..
p. is to seek candidates from the incognito.
W. f. Walkenhorst is talking of locating In
southern Kansas. The postofice stationery
and cigar stand Is constantly getting on good
fresh goods. The Ignorance of q country
woman became known a few DAYS ago in one
of the stores. Making known the fact that
women will talk, she talked as follows: II
am q southern democrat and L don't like
Philips because he was in the republican
army during the wal and his men did lots of
stealing. I had my husband to vote for War
ner because / never heard of him being in
the republican army" Ignorance like this
woman's brings on the disease among men
known as "scratches." This woman pretends
to read the papers and claims to know con-
siderable OF public affairs, but l will assure
her that Philips never was in any republican
army, and Ii, 1t our government never sus-
tanned such an army. The army this country
kept up during our internecine war till the
rebellion subsidized had as many and as brilli-
ant democrats as it had republicans. Any
man that voted against Philips through such
ignorance Is not worthy the suffrage of a tree
country. The Thanksgiving turkey is in the
market, and many a one will be roasted for
<our national feast day. TIT blizzard which
blew all day last Wednesday has brought
smiles to the wood and coal dealers.
