for the last few days, reminding us of
the fact of "a years Republican class
legislation and that the Democrats still
have work to do. Last Thursday
Mr.. Morehead was attacked by mad
bull aud considerably shaken up, but no
serious damage was done. The bull
had him down several minutes but he
stayed close to the ground. :. . H. b.

j. j. Whallan and Frank Croll, repre-
sented Hazelton at Wichita during the

state normal. :. John Miller will take
charge of Mundorff Il Robinson's farm
the Sd. They have secured his services
for year.. Rev. Burton writes that
he and Mrs. Burton will return to Haz-

The Meade County Wrangle.

No district court was held in Meade
county last month. Judge Ellis did
not feel well enough to go out there
and secured Judge Loren Edwards
services. Then the attorneys got into
a wrangle and no court was held. The
Meade County Globe has this rendition
of the affair:
Judge Ellis did not come over to open
court last Tuesday. the first day of the
August term, and Mr.. Loren Edwards
came in to act as pro tenn Judge. Thir-
teen members of the bar met at D. IN.
Tuesday TO elect a pro TEN. judge.
Eight voted for NJ. l.. Brown and five
for Mr.. Edwards, and Immediately there
was grand kick by four of the five
who voted for Edwards. The hardest
klckers were MeSsrs. Morris, Griggs
and Painter, who evidently labored
hard to make political capital out of
the affair. The reason of the kick was
said.to be, that some of the attorneys
who voted for Brown had previously
signed letter asking Mr.. Edwards to
come and hold court. We are reliably
informed that a. Il. Bodle, Jr., s. II.
House, l.. S. Webb and A. L. Bodle,
ST., did not sign the letter asking Mr..
Edwards TO hold the court in place of
Judge Ellis. 1t was charged that bad
faith was shown by those who asked
Edwards to come and then voted for
Brown. But we don't see that the
matter of bad faith cuts any figure in
the case. 1t is simply a question
whether majority of legal votes shall
be respected, and nothing more. 1t
may be that the attorneys who asked
Nh. Edwards to come over, afterWard
had good reason to change their mind.
and it is but fair to them to believe
that they acted in entire good faith in
voting for Mr.. Brown. Mr. Brown is
Democrat. and six attorneys who are
Republicans voted for him, not because
he is Democrat, but because they be-
lieved he was honorable and sufficiently
competent to fill the position. and be-
cause they believed it would save eX-
penSe TO the county. as Mr.. Edwards
had sued the county for his services as
pro TEN. Judge year ago, and for the
further reason that il was understood
that the county board would pay the
expenses of Mr.. Edwards for coming
and holding court this time. Besides,
some of our attorneys think that this
end OF the district has not received the
attention it is entitled to, and that Mr..
Edwards was more favCrably disposed
toward certain members of the bar
than he was toward other members.
1t strikes us that the lawfully express
wish Of the majority ought TO gov
ern, and that the kicking ought to cease.

Exceeding caution should be exercised
In the purchase Of a new article of food.
Many recent cases Of serious illness have
been reported from the use Of the new
patent foods for infants, from INFESTED
baking powders, and cheap flavoringex
tracts. The desire for rapid wealth In
duces interruptions manufacturers to
place ANYTHING before the public that will
sell at large profit, without regard to
its usefulness or healthfulness. At pres
ent there Is great raid upon the baking
powder market, and so many impure and
adulterated articles of this kind have been
found peddlcd about the country that the
authorities in several Of the States have
taken the necessary action to expose them,
The report OF the Ohio State Food Com
mission has shown that large number
Of the brands sold here are made from al
um, phosphates, or a cheap and adulter-

as perfect, claiming tor them all kinds OF
