The Republican Campaign.

Again, as the REFLECTOR is not only
a democratic paper, but paper for the
people, it is necessary for it to post the
republicans of Dickinson county as to
the action of the republican state exec
| utive committee, which met in Topeka
last Thursday, for if it did not, they
would never know the fact by reading
the Chronicle or Gazette, for they are
too narrOw-minded and self contracted
to deal out news in fair and impartial
manner At the meeting were present
Hon. 2. L. BOnebrake, Captain Henry
Brandley, secretary; Hon. S. NJ. Beal,
of Louisville; Senator L. E. Finch, of
Burlingame; Senator John Kelley, of
Wichita; Phil. Kelley, of White Cloud;
Mr.. Rowley, alternate for Lew Best, Of
Beloit, were present.
The committee were encouraged and
strengthened for the work before them
by the presence of such statesmen as
Senator j. j. Ingalls,, of Atchison; Con-
gresham Bishop w. Perkins, of Oswe-
go; Judge Andrew S. Wilson, of Wash
ingtOn, candidate for congress from the
Fifth district; Captain James w. Ham
iltOn, of Wellington, candidate for state
treasurer; General Tim Mccarthy, can
didate for state auditor, DR.. E. b. Allen.
secretary of state; General S. B. Brad
ford, attorney general; Captain II. d.
Baker, of Salina, Hon. w. S. SIAM
baugh. of Abilene.
President BOnebrake, in calling the
committee to order, stated that the OBJ
.ect was to ascertain the time for OPEN
ing the campaign. The committee he |
said had invited five hundred speakers
in the state to put on the party harness, |
and in the language mighty and elo- |
quent lead the republicans ON to an IN |
paralleled victory.
The opinions of those present as to |
the time for opening the campaign was
then called for.
Senator ingalls,, Congressman Per-
1ins and others spoke in favor of open
ng the campaign about the middle of
September. Senator ingalls, announced
hat he would be in the east from the
18th to the 9Oth of September. but after
hat time his services were at the COM
nittee's disposal.
After further discussion it was finally
decided to open the campaign at Topeka
N September 10Th.

The New Silver Certificates.

The Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing has begun to print the new ten-dol-
lar certificates. They are printed on the
new distinctive paper, which was man
ufactured expressly for them. Each
sheet contains four notes, and 5000
impressions were taken in the first days
printing. Thirty days will be required
to finish them, as they have to go
through several processes. 1t is not eX-
pected, however, that they will be put
in circulation much before the middle
Of November, when the one and two
dollar silver certificates will be ready.
The design for the smaller notes is now
being transferred to steel. The plates
will be ready for the printer about the
middle of this month. The design fOr
the ten dollar plate was commenced
some time before Congress ordered the
new notes. This is the reason why the
larger denominations are so much nearer
completion than the small notes. AS
soon as the plates for the new one and
twO-dOllar silver certificates are ready,
the full force of printers will be employ
ed to finish the notes as soon as posi-
bic. But it cannot be expected that
they will be put into circulation much
| before tie middle of November. if, in
fact, they are ready quite as soon as
that

While the republican managers are
boasting of having five hundred speak
ers to canvass this state in the interest
of John A. Martin and the republican
state ticket, the people should remem-
Der that these men have been hired bv
the railroad and money monopolists of
the country, and it is to this class that
the republican party is standing should
or to shoulder for. Yes, the republican
party is for the monopoliStS of all kinds
and this hiring of five hundred speak
ers to stump this state in the interest of
railroad congressman, such as Wilson.
and the republican ticket. is nothing
more nor less than to up with the ban
ner of mOnopOlistS and capital and to
drag in the dust the little banner of the
laboring men of equal rights and justice
to all. VIII you, as farmers, laboring
men and voters generally, allow the re-
publicans to keep their heavy load of
unjust taxes upon you when it is now
in your power to throw them overheard
and elect men who will represent the in
terest of the people and not the few?

Last week, the REFLECTOR realizing
the fact that the Republicans of this
county had no reliable organ to look to
for information, informed its many re-
publican readers and the public gener-
ally that the ring" of the republican
central committee had held an infor-
NAL meeting and agreed to hold a late
convention. And for giving this infor-
nation the Chronicle ragged and foamed
at the mouth and kept up its usual
reputation for lying, for it told one from
beginning to end in trying to answer the
REFLFCTOR's article. The editor of
the Chronicle knew, when he denied
the charge, that it had been agreed
among the Wilson committee men to
hold late convention. and because the
REFLECTOR took the Lead in posting
the people of the county as TO what
was going on politically, it should not
have shown itself to be such an I'M
godly liar, Wipe off your chin and
pull down your vest Mr.. Chronicle and
then come out on the sideOf justice and
right and support the regular nominee
for congress on the republican ticket
John A. Anderson.

The Democratic State Campaign will
commence in September and will be
red-hot until election day. 1t is said
that three fourths of the settlers in
western Kansas are democrats and will
be qualified voters by November. The
prohibition ticket will draw twice as
many from the republican as the demo-
cratic party, so it is plainly to be seen
that the grand old party is on its last
legs in Kansas. Moonlight, and the
rest of the democratic ticket will be
elected by large NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

On the arrival of John \. Anderson
at his home in Manhattan last Week he
was welcomed at the depot by over one
thousand people, and the reception was
the most enthusiastic ever given to any
man in Kansas. The Flambeau club
was present and did itself proud on the
occasion. The Gazette lied in its report
OF the reception when it said, ''in all
there were about 200 men, women and
children present.

when you see sham, - said Carlyle,
''smite it, smite it!'' The greatest
sham of this day and age is the Repub-
can party, and its hypocritical stand in
regard to prohibition will cause it TO
receive such a ''smite'' at the next No
vember election as to make its head
swim with the dizziness of death.

The railroad monopolists are arrang-
ing the slate to have every Congressman
who voted against their interests in the
land grants, &C., left at home in this

But the old Straddler refused, knowing

tainly prove too much for him at the

Toby Weighed s7s Pounds.

'Toby," the pig at Bunnells, weighed 372 pounds, and three men guessed the exact weight: William N. Graham, engineer, of 99 Spring street; Russell D. Johnson, music teacher, of 30 Olive street, and Frank R. Garlock of 297 Howard avenue. An order was given the three gentlemen for the pigs body. This they sold to marketman before they left the hall and then divided the amount.
 Toby met his fate at Sperry Sc Barnes pork packing establishment, where in the few minutes he was waiting to be slaughtered he heard the yells of fifty or one hundred porkers that had got in ahead of him. There was, as usual, an army of his porcine breth- ren recently dispatched and hanging by the heels in the upper story of the building ready to be carved up. Toby was conveyed to the packing house in great state in the big red circus van, and quite eommotion was creat- ed on the wharf by the arrival of the process sion and the small boys for half mile around were in fever of excitement over the street pageant. Toby was born and raised in East Haven

Waiting Bulls And Anxious Bears The Market Quiet One With Few Changes Of Figures.

New York, March 6, 1896. The old story, to the effect that there meaning in it. has to be told again Of today's stock market Prices were firm at the start and firm at the finish, but without any changes occur ring between times of importance enough to de- mand notice Delaware and Lackawanna advanced half per cent. or so during early hours and fell back something more during later hours; Reading struggled up nearly one per cent. and kept its ad vancs; Delaware and Hudson and Jersey Central were dead cocks in the pit; other stocks which 1n clude the Vanderbilts the grangers an d score or SO of less prominent specialties, were wound up at about the figures they started from. AS there were changes in price worth noting it pretty evident that the market was altogether of stock-jobbng nature and unworthy of serious mention. There was absolute absence of outside statements, ru mors and reports, and consequently the days deal ings were entirely confine to board room trading As possible exception there smart advance in the Green Bay railroad stock, which opened at sM rose to 11A and closed at 10Sz. The sharp de- mand manifested for the income bonds (which ad- vancea from s934 to 41z0 was probably the cause for the squirt in the stock. There nothing with regard to the transcontinental railroad wrangle nor of the Reading reconstruction matter. Both to be in statu quo for the resent. Both bulls and bears disposed to lay upon their to-day and wait to how next weeks speculative tide will turn. The positive certainty of to-day was the great activity and strength of the railroad bond market Sales at the Board amounted to s74s26 shares against 32s527 yesterday and 424 s9 Thursday.

LOOK AT THE LIST.
A Terrible Array of Sudden Deaths Among the Most Prom
 inent Men.

This has been a marvellous year for sud- den deaths among great men. The number is enormous and includes such names as Mcclellan, Vanderbilt and Hancock. But think for @ moment of the ones who die daily in an equally sudden manner and ot whon we never hear. What does it meant That something is undermining the vitality of the American people. What is it? No one certainly knows; probably com bination of causes. From all that can be learned lack of albumen in the body causes a snapping of the vital forces and quick of albumen come about? In various ways. Overwork, worry, loss of sleep, dissipation, severe climate, bad weather, injurious food-all these things work against the life and cause sickness and death. People must provide against these things and keep the body fortified. Hows Many ways may be and have been tried, but unquestionably the best manner in which to strengthen the body, fortify the nerves, increase albumen and develop the health is by the use of hop tonic. This preparation contains peptonized beef, malt and hops, and thus furnishes an absolute food as well as healthful tonic. Hoptonic is endorsed by no less authority than the celebrated chemist, Professor Rose, while physicians recognize it's great value and using it i,I their practice There are probably not less than a quarter of a mil lion people using this remedy to-day, and 1t IS e1ther curing them or preventing tue GULL ing on of disease. When any man, woman or child feels nervous or irritable, or is for any cause uneasy, it is sign that the current of life is deranged. If the heart skips a single beat death is the result. If it runs on faster and faster then the blood is sent to the head too rapidly and apople1y ensues. If the nerves are unstrung the heart or brain are liable to give way at any moment These are questions of life and death and most serious ones. They mean that if care is not exercised evil results will follow. They mean that healthful tonic is good at all times, and absolutely required if the body is the least out of order. They mean possible life and happiness or probable sickness and death.

An Exciting Oontest.

Mrs.CL. Herrick, of 13s15 Olive street, who has been visiting friends in Corning, N. Y., re- turned home last week to find herself de-
 barred entrance to her own house. While Mrs. Herrick was absent she allowed James N
 Faulkner and wife to occupy her rooms, they
 having rented of her and been occu- pying rooms in the same house previous to
 her going away. They were to vacate them on her return and occupy the rooms they had previous to her going. When Mrs Her rick returned she was told that she could not have her rooms as they had rented them themselves. The landlord, MT. William At water, was seen and said the rooms were not rented to MT. Faulkner and that he had con- sidered Mrs. Herrick the only authorized tenant Many hot words were exchanged lawyers seen, suits threatened and a quiet was for time apparently to be a scene of conflict. The matter is now settled and Mrs Herrick is the possessor of her furniture and occupies her rooms, the contesting parties having vacated possession.
