he heard on every side. A fair yield
will be had.
Mrs. Steckel, we are sorry to learn,
met with very serious accident on
Tuesday last week by which she had
her arm broken. DIR. Dunn was sums
moned and set the fractured limb and
at last accounts she was doing quite
will, considering the circumstances
with which she will have to contend.
That she may have a speedy recovery,
is the wish Of all.

Institute Clippings.

Everything booming at the institute.
Pleasant weather for study since the
glorious rain Sunday evening.
Enrolment increasing daily, having
poets for over hundred by the last of
the week. A. Atkinson, II. G. BeNke,
Clinton Gibler, Lille Hutchinson, Ar
sula Benedict, Edna WINS, Jessie CO.
burn, Lula Worral, Mary E. Langford,
and NJ. L. Harris have given their
names as students this last week.
The exhibit of school work is now
open for the inspection of the public.
1t consists of written work by the pu-
pills of the common schools, such as
examination manuscript, drawing,
map-drawing, essays, reports, etc.
Some of the work is of high character
and does credit both to the teachers
and the pupils of the school which pro-
duced it. The display from district
No. 80, taught by MI. Yard, deserves
special mention.
Mother Bickerdyke, of wal fame, and
her son, Prof. J. r. Bickerdyke, prin-
cipal of the Bunker Hill schools, paid
us visit Thursday and expressed
themselves as we'll pleased with the
institute and the evidences of progress
in the school work Of the county. Prof.
Bickerdyke delivered a brief address
to the students at the chapel in the
morning in which he referred to his
connection with the pioneer school
work of Barton county and stated that
he recognized among those present
some Of his pupils of former days.
The following is a list of the visitors
for the past week: Misses Mary Sowle,

Our band boys are getting in their
work in good shape and will render
some good music on the 4th.
If our property owners would cut
the weeds around their premises our
town would present a4ess appearance
of country cow pasture.
The largest Fourth of July celebra-
ton in the county will be held here.
A choice and elaborate program has
been prepared. Elrick Cole, our
county attorney. and the most prom
ising orator in Kansas, will do the
spread eagle act.
Prof. Six was in Great Bend Satur-
day evening to conduct an open air
concert, given weekly by the band at
that place. The Great Bend band
ranks as the finest in western Kansas,
and great crowds throng the streets
to hear the music, many farmers
staying in town until a late hour to
hear them.

of the state, we stand no danger of

The Great Bend Daily Graphic sus>
pended publication this week. a
short time ago Brother Steke enlarged
his paper, so as to receive = later tele-
graph report, the same as orr people
get daily in the Hutchinson Ne5rs.
This report is, as everyone knows,
slightly republican, although the best
and latest report coming to the people
of this part Of the state. Instead Oh
commencing it as Il stroke Of enter
prise, some of his patrons threw upon
him the charge of double-facedness,
and rather than create dissention,
Brother Stoke threw up the sponge.
1t is deplorable calamity for Great
Bend, and one they viii have cause
to regret, as the Graphic was the best
local daily published in Kansas, and
stood by the town when no one but
Stoke could have had the nerve 10 DO

DID He Have Bad Luckq

Brother Watson has been running
the Ellinwood Adrocate for two or three
weeks, and the other day he came up
to Great Bend, to get acquainted with
the town. He spent few hours scoot-
ing about the city searching for ads.
and subs, but he must have met with
bad luck, to judge from the following
in the next issue of his paper:
cit would seem, by all accounts, that
in a very few years property in such
towns as Great Bend, Larned, Lyons
and Sterling would get down to fair
valuation. They are all heavily bur-
dened with bonded debts, taxes are
enormously high, and their booms of
two and three years ago have COL
lapsed," ETC., etc.
The gentleman should take a little
more time to inform himself, SO that
he may avoid misstatement of the
facts concerning his neighbors.

Sixth Dav.

CHICAGO, June 25.-At three minutes past
eleven O'Clock this morning the sixth days
session of the National Republican conven-
ton was called TO order by Chairman Es-
tee, who was again in good voice, and
the proceedings were opened by prayer by
Rev. Arthur Edwards, OF Chicago.
Mr. Boutelle, OF Maine, arose to a ques-
ton of privilege. Mr.. Raymond, of Cali
fornia, made the point or order that moth
ing was in order except ballot If there
were any speeches to be made, he wanted
to make one for Blaine. Applause
The chair said that he understood that
the gentleman from Maine desired TO make
a privileged announcement, and he was
given the floor. He mounted the platform
and SAID:
az find myself somewhat embarrassed in
being thrown even into a semblance of an
tagonism to the representative Of the dele

come here manifestlng such devotion to

years. Applause. l would like. were
the occasion appropriate and did feel it
proper, in view Of the courtesy to which
am indebted for an appearance here at all,
to preface the announcement l am about to
make by some explanatory remarks, but
shall not attempt to do so. No one
in this convention, not one in this
magnificent Auditorium has any doubt
as to where the affection, the de-
Votion and the allegiance OF the
Republicans of Maine has been and always
will be. [Applause.I No delegate here
will doubt the regret with which 1 dis
charge the duty imposed upon me, but Mr..
President and gentlemen of the conven-
ton, am under conStraint do not feel
at liberty to ignore, and without attempt

announced. There was very enthusiastic
outbreak when California voted solidly for
Blaine, but finally having found that these
demonstrations were delaying the an
nouncement of the result the conventions
curiosity overcame its enthusiasm and the
confusion was considerably abated and the
call proceeded in good order.
When Virginia was reached in the call
of States demand was at once made for
a poll of the delegation. During the poll,
Senator Riddleberger, Notwithstanding the
sharp raps of the chairman's gavel, when
his name was called, arose and said that
he would have voted for Blaine if he had
been nomin al ed, but as his name had not
been presented he voted for Allison. This
violation of the rules of the convention was
allowed to go in the Senator's case without
rebuke. The ballot resulted as follows:

Fifth Day.

CHICAGO. June 23.-The convention met
this morning with the usual rumors of
combinations flying through the air as
thick as backbirds.
The convention was called to order at
10 los, but it was not until twenty minutes
later when the proceedings were formally
opened by Chairman Estee calling upon
Senator Warner Miller, of New York, to
preside over its deliberations. Bishop Sam
uel Fellows, of Chicago, delivered the in
vocation.
The convention proceeded to take a
fourth ballot and when a delegate from
Connecticut voted for Mckinley, Mr.. Nc
Kinley rose and stated that he came to the
convention with instructions to vote for
John Sherman and he felt that honor re-
quired him TO faithfully discharge the du-
ties required of him, and he therefore re-
quested that no vote should be cast for
him.
The fourth ballot resulted as follows:

Mr. Villas was Justly entitled to the

| Mr.. Villas was justly entitled to the
nomination at Sheboygan. He had a
large majority of the primary delegates
but he made the mistake OF trusting peo-
pie who were unreliable. He is not In
chned to be suspicious and believed that
people would not lie deliberately and
practice deception as an art. The men
who sold him out in kewaunee and
Ozaukee counties are as false as Judas
Iscariot. It would have been honorable
to oppose him openly and give him an
opportunity to enlist the services of men
who were trustworthy. But the dirty,
hspicable method of promising support
while intending to oppose is something
which no one can defend. Mr.. Villas was
defeated by the treachery of men whom
he trusted and from whom he had assur-
ances of support; otherwise they would
not have been delegates to the conven-
ton.
There is not a thing connected with
the convention which can be pleasing to
Manitowoc. There is no dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Brickner who will get good
majority in this county; but every step
which led to his nomination-and of
which he was wholly innocent-is calcu-
lated to make a Manitowoc man clinch
his teeth and-swear.

Book agents still continue to infest
the town. They talk without the neces-
sity of thought. So completely is their
speech purely reflex action that one of
these fellows sometimes represents the
merits of a book he formerly sold and
forgets that he is not talking of the book
he wishes you TO buy. He introduces
himself as if he were the only conserva-
tor of intelligence the land contains. II
you buy from him it is not because of
the agency of his reasoning, but rather
from the desire to get rid of his volubili-
ty. People should ask to have the book
agent declared nuisance.
