SOME OF OUR CANDIDATES.
Tributes to Three of the Men Whom the
Republican Party Honored With
Nominations.

Thode F. Brown.
Thode Brown, the Republican nominee
for sheriff Of Sedgwick county. is too
well and favorably known by the people
OF this vicinity for us to add anything in
his behalf: it IS not necessary, for all are
working for and will cast their votes for
him on the fifth of the following month.
He is native of New York; received a
good education, being graduate of the
Ogdenburg college. After completing
his college course he entered the employ
of a large mercantile firm for a time,
but in 1869 he, together with ten COM
panions, went to the Black Hills, the
Sweetwater and Wind river valleys.
The party were twice attacked by the
savage Indians, and these attacks in con-

one season, when he returned to New
York, where he was given the position of
superintendent of the New England
Pipe company. which he held for three
years. He put in the waterworks at st.
Adams, VT, and at Leominster, Mass.
He came to Sedgwick county in '.3. The
company insisted upon, and he finally
consented to return, and worked for
them two years when he again located

til Sheriff Hays called MIN to be his I'M

that he may well point to with no little
pride. He is thoroughly conversant with
the duties of the Office, and will I'M
doubtedly make first-class sheriff.
Those who cast their vote for Thode
Brown-and there will be enough of
them, to elect him without the least
doubt in the world---will never have
cause to regret having thus assisted a
competent and worthy man.

The United States today is the richest
nation on the globe. Thirty years ago
its wealth was not half the wealth of
Great Britain. Manufacturers in the
United States have a value one-half as
great as that of all Europe. These are
the statements of N. Marbeau in a re-
cent number of the Revue Franchise de
I Granger and his conclusion is that in
a short time no nation on the face of the
earth can compare in importance with
the United States.

may be said Of a number of other west

themselves in support of Chicago's
claims to the Worlds Fair rather than
to st. Louis, the most central and con-
venient point for four-fifths of the
country as a whole and therefore the

NEWSPAPER FICTION

Some time ago the Detroit Freeze Press
offered $4,000 in prizes for the three best
serial stories sent in before July 1. The
result of this competition has been that
Maj. Joseph Kirkland, Of Chicago, has
taken the first prize of 81, 900. His story
is entitled 1.-The Captain of Company K. :"
The second prize goes to Omaha, and is
taken by Mrs. Eliza w. Peattie. Her
story is entitled 1.-The Judge" The third
prize of $500 was awarded to Elbridge
S. Brooks, of Boston. This competition
was open to the world. Literary Boston,
the home of culture, and New York, the
mecca of writers, We're pitted against
the wild and woolly" west. New York
gets nothing and Boston is forced to be
content with third place. Really the
time has come when the west should as
.sert Itself against the presumptuous
claims of literary superiority put forth
by the ''effete east" The atmosphere Of
the stockyards is evidently conducive to
better things in the way of literature
than the weak jokes sent forth at the
expense of western cities
There can be no question as to the
merit of the western writers who were
successful in gaining the leading prizes.
Major Kirkland is well known as the
author of ''Zury," one of the greatest
literary successes of last year. AS a
faithful picture of pioneer life on the Il
linois prairies ''Zury" stands in the front
rank of recent works of fiction.
These facts suggest that much of the
best literature III the way Of fiction is be-
ing given TO the public through the me-
dunn of the daily newspapers. That the
reading public appreciates this, and that
they look to the newspapers as a leading
and reliable source of good literature, is
evidenced by the financial outlay by the
newspapers to crafty the wants of their
readers.
Not to be behind the foremost in this
respect. the EAGLE has secured one of
the most thrilling serials vet written,
which will form a special feature, for a
time, of our Sunday issue, the first chap
tiers of which appeared in last Sundays
paper.
