AN UNNEoESSARYKI KICK.

WIS. Denton, E. 2. Caruthers, DR..
w. A. Karr, G. d. Nelson. T. G. Mol
10y, ID. L. Pierce, L. L. O'Bryan and j.
z. Hall, all Medicine Lodge citizens,
were elected delegates to attend the
senatorial convention to be held at
Coldwater, August Sd, to nominate a
state senator on the democratic ticket.
We wonder if KiOwa belongs to Barber
county anyway. There must be some
mistake about the lines as we are not
noticed by those Medicine Lodge fell
lows
The above is from the Kiowa Herald.
1t is very Unfair statement. In the
first place, DR.. Karr lives at Sharon and
Capt. Pierce near Sun City. Then, there
was but one citizen from Kiowa in
town when the delegates were selected,
and he declined to go. Then the Kiowa
central committeeman was not here as
he should have been, and so it was the
fault of Kiowa and not of Medicine
Lodge that no delegate was appointed
from there. The idea was to get dele
gates who would go to Coldwater and it
appears that the central committee
made no mistake in its selections, for
eight of the nine named went to Cold
water.

How Green Country Boy Made H1S VI

How . Green Country Boy Made ms Way
IN the World.
II was only few years ago, says the
Washington Post, that green country boy
spilled to Division Superintendent Hitch.
cock, Of the Galesburg division of the Chi.
cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, for
work Mr.. Hitchcock could set him az
nothing but braking on freight train, and
diSliked to give such work to him because
Of the lads youthful appearance and the
dangers besetting that vocation. The boy,
however, pleaded until he secured the EN-.
ployment On one Of his first trips, il not
indeed the very first, it CHANGED that his
train met another freight train at station
where the side-track was not long enough
to accommodate either. The conductors
were discussing the question which train
should back up to point where they could
pass, when the green boy ventured to sug-
get that neither need back up; that they
could pass by means of the short side track
II they worked it right. This occasioned q
good deal Of laughter on the part of the
older and more experienced trainmen, but
the boy insisted he could work the trains
by each other.
"Well, how would you go about itr'
asked one of the conductors, confident that
the lad would soon be up stump. The boy
took up stick and traced in the sand a d.
agram Of how he would do 1t.
''By thunder, " or worse, said the conduct
or, II believe that will do it."
They tried it and 1t did do it. To-day
every trainman in America probably knows
how to "saw by" two long trains on o short
side track, but until that inexperienced
country boy worked it out of his noddle the
practice on the old 90" road had been for
trains either to avoid meeting at such
points or, when they CHANGED to meet, for
one of them to run back to longer side
track.
That boy is c. II. Chappell, and he is gen.
eral manager Of the Chicago, Alton q st,
Louis road, which when he took hold Of 1t q
few years ago was little more two streaks
of rust and right of way, but which il
now one of the best equipped and success
full lines in the West.
We don't know what has become Of the
trainmen who laughed at the green country
boy. We don't know whether they are
watching crossings or have given up rail
reading altogether.

FOB SENATOR.

The democratic nominee for senator
in this, the 38th district. A. NJ. Van
Laningham, of Clark county, is native
of Marion county, Indiana, where he
resided until 1867, when he removed to
Neosho county, Kansas. In 1880 he To-
Gated In Harper county and lived there
five years, during which time he was
county commissioner one year, we be-
lieve, and he was twice elected register
OF deeds. Though there was a strong
republican majority in the county, his
well known fitness for the office, his
recognized honesty and his personal
popularity carried HIM through with
handsome majOrities.
Then as now, he was a consistent
democrat from principle and on all oc-
casions he is to be found ready to oppose
monopoly, high taxation and the legal
lied robbery called a protective tariff.
Mr. VanLanlDgham is not an orator;
but he is a sensible and pleasing talker
and commands the close attention of
his audience. He is a practical busl-
ness man, rather than a professional
politician.
The voters of the district would make
no mistake if they send him to the SEN
ate. He is honest, he is competent and
he is in every way worthy of the honor.
His nomination was the unanimous ex-
preston of the anti-monOpolists of the
district and the manner of its accom-
plishment was so different from the dis
orderly affair of June Sd that nomina-
ted his republican opponent, that every
lover of good order and clean politics
will be inclined to vote for Mr.. Van
Laningham.
Before election day the voters Of Bar
Der county will have the opportunity of
seeing and hearing the democratic NOM
inee and we have no hesitancy in pre-
dieting nice majority in Barber coun-
tv

Out in Judge Prices district, the re-
publicans have entered into family
row, two conventions having been held
at Ashland last week, one nominating
Judge Price and the other naming Ross.
of Meade county. Each claims To have
been the regular republican convention
and so there are two republican candI-
dates in the race. The democrats pro-
pose to take hand and if they nomi-
nate good man, like Chambers of
Comanche, for instance, the superstition
is that he will be elected. Judge Price
has not given entire satisfaction since
his appointment. He Is young and in
experienced; inclined to be a trimmer, ;
he having an idea that his mission is to
be a congressman. and he has succeeded
in getting a considerable portion of his
party dissatisfied with his grasping and
selfish disposition.
