A. N. McLennan has resigned the pres
idency of the State Savings Bank. Mac
informs us that he also intends to resign
as president Of the First National Bauk.
Evidently Mac. is stripping for the fight
in the 9th district OF course Mac. feels
the weight of being the president Of two
banks, but we congratulate him on his
good sense in unloading-but we have
not yet heard of his giving his bank stock
to the poor, do that Mac. and you will
get to Heaven, if not to congress. Ellis
worth Reporter.
Mr.. Turner is generally accredited with
being the most active and successful rep
resentative in congress. Ever watchful
of his constituents, always careful and
painstaking with any business entrusted
to him. by the old soldiers, careful Of the
interests of the homesteaders in the west
part OF his district, doing more for them
tlan any other member of congress has
ever done before. Yes the people Of the
sixth district will be careful about elect
ing untried timber for their congressman.

suggested by a great deal'-Mankato

Day before election. My boy, do
you see that man? Note the kindly ex-
preston on bis face; observe how cordial
is his greeting; hear the sympathetic
words he pours into that old colored mans
ears: how solicitous he is about the
health of Farmer Jones' wife. Oh! he is
good man, with heart full Of tender
ness and love for his fellow men. He is a
candidate, my boy.
Day after election. My boy, do you
lo&p No 10 he
sidewalk, looking neither to the right nor
left. See him pass that poor old colored
man without look of recognition; OBJ
erve that he fails to ask Farmer Jone E
about his sick wife. How naughty and
arrogant and stuck up he appears to be.
He was elected, yesterday, my boy

"A few weeks ago when the Hutchin-
son News made mention of the invention
of gang pillow which would break one
hundred ceres day, We thought it might
be OF some interest to learn more fully of
the good qualities Of such pillow and con-
ciuded no one wonld be more reliable
authority than the inventor, hence we
wrote to Major Gardner, of Kankakee,
Ills, the party whom the News claimed
to be the inventor, and one day this week
our letter was returned to us bearing the
stamp, "retnrn to writer" From this we
are inclined to think Major Gardner is an
unknown person at kankakee. Our
friends of the News must have been a lit
tie mistaken as to the inventor, but we
hope they will discover the original per-
SOB and in due time secure mandatory
for we still believe such pillow would
prove great boon for western Kansas
Dighton Jonrnal.
John A. Gardner, the inventor, is not a
resident of Kankakee, Ills He is large
land owner in Trego and and other west
ern Kansas counties and receives the
WORLD regularly at his address, u Major
