A gentleman prominent in state poll
tics remarked to the scribbler, a few days
ago. that Prentis had now become a
candidate for office and he supposed that
the brightness which had heretofore
characterized the editorial columns of
the Newton Republican would be want
ing, as a candidate for Office is not sup
posed to have any opinions of his own.
If the state can outbid the newspapers
for PIentis it simply shows that ability
is not much in demand in the newspaper
offices of Kansas.

EYES," said Superintendent Hill, of
the Wichita & Western railroad, yester-
day, 1--WE are going to extend our road
the coming summer, and the Wichita &
Western in a very short time will be an
important road for Wichita. l do not
wish to designate the points which we
expect to reach this summer, for the
reason that by SO doing I might do an
injury to my road. Railroads, like indi-
viduals, you know, do not always want
their plans made known before they are
fully matured. The Wichita & Western
runs through country that is second to
none in the state of Kansas, or in the
west, and when the plans of its pro-
jectors are consrlmmated it will be what
| have said-one of Wichita's most inn
portant roads"

Even the cyclone is made use of to adj
vertise Kansas. These twisters cross the
country from southwest to northeast, and
are liable to occur in any of the states.
When they occur in Kansas they are re-
ferred to all over the country as cyclone
in Kansas. When these destructive
storms visit another state and strew their
track with destruction and death they
are spoken of as a Kansas cyclone in
that state.

The fact that the iniquities of the
fathers are visited upon the children
leads many people to believe that quail
ties which distinguish great men are also
transmitted to their offspring. The be-
lief in the minds of many that Robert
T. Lincoln has inherited very many of
the characteristics of his immortal father
is creating strong sentiment in favor of
his nomination for the presidency. The
old chestnut that he is more of Todd
than Lincoln is hereby barred.

The Song Of the Sword.

Weary, and wounded and worn,
Wounded, and ready TO die,
A soldier they left, all alone and forlorn,
On the field of the battle to lie.
The dead and the dying alone
Could their presence and pity afford;
Whilst, with sad and terrible tone,
He sang the song of the sword
Fight-fght-fight!
Though O thousand fathers die;
Fight--nght-fight;
Though thousands of children cry;
Fight ht!-fght flight!
Whilst mothers and wives lament;
And fight flight flight!
While millions Of money are spent
Fight-fght-fght!
Should the cause be foul or lalr;
Though all that's gained is an empty name
And tax too great to bear;
An empty name and paltry fame,
And thousands lying dead;
Whilst every glorious victory
Must raise the price of bread.
War-war-war!
Fire. and famine, and sword;
Desolate fields and desolate towns,
And thousands scattered abroad,
And never home and never shed;
And hundreds of thousands are lying ueau
And all-for nothing at ALL
War-war-war!
Musket and powder and ball;
All! what do we fight so for7
All why have we battles at all?
IT'S Justice must be done, they say,
The nations honor to keep;
Alas that justice is so dear,
And human life so cheap.
War-war-war!
Misery, murder, and crime,
Are all the blessings I've seen In tnee
From my youth to the present time;
Misery, murder, and crime
Crime, misery, murder, and woe;
All! would I had known in my younger
days,
Ahl had but known in my happier days,
In my hours Of boyish glee,
A tenth of the horrors and crime OF war
A 1.-THE of the misery!
Inow had been joining happy band
OF wife and children dear,
And had died in my native land,
Instead Of dying here.
And many long, long day of woe.
And sleepless nights untold,
And drenching rain and drifting snow,
And weariness, famine. and cold:
And worn out limbs, and aching heart,
And grief, too great to tell,
And bleeding wounds, and piercing smart,
Had escaped full we'll.
Weary, and wounded, and worn,
Wounded and ready to die,
A soldier they left, all alone and forlorn
On the field of battle to lie.
The dead and the dying alone
Could their presence and pity AFFORD;
While thus with q sad and terrible tone
(Oh, would that these truths were more
perfectly knownD
He sang the song Of the sword.

of the State. The Republicans have
held over 500 political meetings, and
every district from Kittery to NADIA
wasEa was canvassed. The Protective
tariff was the issue, and the fght was
squarely on that line.
The plurality OF 10000 has surprised
the most sanguine Republicans, who ex.
pected that 1900 would be u grand
victory.
The fishery question has been pressed
along the coast. The Republicans an
ticipated general gain over the State
from an increased vote, and particularly
heavy gains in the eastern and northern
counties. Mr.. Burleign hasavery strong
hold on the farmers in those regions.
The Democrats have made q strong
fight. Meyer have they been SO thor:
Oughly and carefully organized, and
their canvass has been better carried on
than for years. Their meetings have
been numerously attended, and the
Democratic heart generally awakened.
There is every indication that the full
strength OF the party was out
at the polls on account OF the
popularity Of Mr.. Putnam, who
heads the ticket. The total State vote
in 1884 was l42, 2,4lG. OF this Robie (Re-
publican), received 7S,9l2, and Redman
tDemocratl, received 5O,057. This, in
Guiding 3,l57 decentralization, 81
straight Greenback and l,l03 Prohibi-
ton votes, gave the Republicans ma
iority Of nearly 10000. This was large
vote and was due to the fact that it was
Presidential year and that Mr.. Blaine
was running. In 1886 the total vote
dropped TO i2s,093. Bodwell (Republi:
canl then received GS.S9l votes and

Of l2,GlO for the former.

He RIntly Refuses to be PRrRded Around ns
Great Aggregation.
New YoRK, Sept. 1O.-Thurman is
kicking. The tNohlest Roman Of them
all" has an idea that he is being used to
pull somebody's chestnuts out of the
fire, and he is to get only the burrs and
the hard work. Naturally such a
state OF affairs is distasteful to him. He
will be 70 years OF age next October, and
he has served his country faithfully and
well. So far he has been carted around
the country at the beck and call OF the
two "B's"-Barnum and Brice. When
he arrived here on Thursday evening,
after having had nearly twenty.four hours
ofshaking up In Col. Brice's private car,
he was in no humor TO receive from MIR.
Barnnm proposition that he should this
week 20 up into Connecticut and make
several speeches. Chairman Barnum
said 10 him that he wanted him to go,
and supposed that was all that was nee
essary. Imagine his CONSERVATION when
MIR. Thurman declared, with an em-
phasis which left nothing to be under
stood, that 20 he would not. Further
more, Mr.. Thurman said he did not
propose to be dragged from home with
ont the privacy OF living and home com-
forts which his nearly four score years
OF active public life entitled him to, and
he trotted around the country without
knowing why and what for it was being
done. And he gave it out to be under
stood that when he went into cam
paign he usually knew what was going
on, and be did not intend TO make any
new departures AZ this time OF life. In
other words, he wanted 10 see the books
and see what was being done.
The two big "B's" knew that the old
man meant business, and readily acquies-
ced in anything he wanted. The first
thing he spoke OF was the documents.
He had seen copies OF the Mills bill sent
broadcast. He had seen the Congress
speeches OF the various gentlemen who
had discussed the measures before Con-
gress. He had seen innumeraDle copies
OF newspapers floating around Us cam
paigu documents, but he had seen moth
ing referring 10 his report or adiudica.
ton as referee between the operators and
miners in the Hooking Valley coal mine
troubles. His report at that time added
thousands upon thousands OF dollars to
the wages OF the workingmen OF Ohio,
and they have not forgotten it. Conse-
uuently the miners OF Ohio are for Thur
man to man, and they intend voting
for Cleveland with him. Judge Thur
man is keenly alive to all these facts,
and so when he was invited by Messrs.
Barnum and Brice to abandon his own
State canvass and go TO Connecticut he
said no, and said it with Il big y.

HAMBURG, Sept. lO.-The price oil San

Tuesday TO $50 pfennigs on Friday night.
Then the bulls, who consisted OF four
prominent firms, after netting, according

On Saturday the closing price was 100

MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Man Found with the Point ofan Umbrella
Run Through His Head.

1890
New YoRE, Sept. lO.-A man was
standing upon Catharine Market, corner
OF Catharine and Cherry streets, a little
after midnight Saturday, eating corn
bought from hot corn woman. He
had his back turned toward the north
west corner, where two men were ap-
preaching each other, one down Cherry
street, the other down Catharine. The
two men met on the corner by Barnum's
clothing store, and It is said that words
passed. The man eating the corn did
not turn around until the sound OF
blow was heard, followed by cry and
fall. Then he turned and saw lying on
the cross walk, leading from Barnum's
store to Market corner, man in dark
blue overcoat and dark striped trousers.
The man was writhing and holding his
hands 10 his face. Between his fingers
blood oozed upon his clothes and the
stones. The hot corn-eater was bending
over him when another came up. In u
minute or two there was little crowd.
One young man, who was leaning
over the moaning victim, started back
with an exclamation. and the crowd
pressed closer and asked what was tho
matter.
