But when Il once makes up It's mind

II some one pair OF softest eyes
Seem like the stars Of paradise;
II for one gentle creature oil her sisters ore neg

II sleeping and awake your dreams
Contain but one sweet face that seems
Much fairer than the Others then beware, for

You wish the world would stay away

And when her "frowns are fairer far
Than smiles Of other women are"
All, then II is too late too late-your heart Is

his eyes with yawn, and, tossing his
book to the foot OF the bed, reached
up and with "a twist extinguished the
light.
Ten minutes later he was as sound
asleep as the policeman on the next

As the last stroke Of the last hour

Dicks windows, which he had raised
for hygienic reasons was further
lifted. A dead silence. Then the nit

over the scene. The sleeper stirred,
but did not awake. The holder Of the
lantern slid one leg inside, and, after
pulling in the rest Of his body, lowered
himself to the door.

his arm along the table beside him,

"Eh? What's that for?" calculated
the burglar, frowning angrily and COM

thrusting the weapon into his pocket
and turning up the wick. He was wait

pistol.
"Well, If that happens again shall
knock you down! Dye hear?"
Dyes. Dick heard, but he said moth

dining-room and was ordered to take o
seat.
"And mind ye keep it"
Dick heard that but he did not reply.
He waited patiently for his chance,
which must come soon.
The burglar threw open the door, laid
his pistol down on a shelf and bent
down to pry open drawer, which, from
the strong lock, must contain something

destroying the lock and had grabbed
the drawer with both hands, when a
slight noise behind him caught his ear.
Dick had drawn his revolver and, adj
vancing quickly to within few feet Of
the burglar, was now drawing bead
on his right eye.

When he had done so Dick drew

he asked.

$4,000 Old Soldiers.

The tenth annual reunion of the vet
erans at Topeka next month, will be the
largest and most important gathering of
old soldiers ever assembled in Kansas.
Judging from present indications, the
committee estimates that fully $4,000 old
soldiers and sailors will attend the re-
union.
Several hundred large tents are being
put up on the State Fair grounds, and
the local committee are making prepara-
tiOns to receive and entertain their vis-
itors in a manner every way worthy of
the generosity of our Kansas people.
The camp will be laid out by states, and
one day will be given to the formation

roR PROBATE JUDGE.

The Probate Court is court OF fecoro
of which the Judge is the clerk. Inc
records of that court are very important
and should be kept with diligent care.
II is of the highest importance to the
people of the county that they should De
so kept. Up to the time that d. W. MOI
fit took possession of that office they
were fearfully neglected and the result
was that when Judge Moffitt took
possession of them they were in de-
plorable condition. He at once set about
to place them in a good condition ana
now we assert without the least fear OF
successful contradiction that there is not
in the entire state set of records in any
Probate Court that is better kept and
ueater or more orderly in its arrange
ments than the set of records in the Pro-
bate Court of Ford county.
We do not believe that the people
Of Ford county are ready or willing to
displace man who has made this sort
of record, unless in doing so he is re-
placed by man in every way qualified
to take up this work and carry it on in the
manner in which it has been started. We
have not a word to say about Mr.. An
thony in the line of work in which he is
and always has been engaged. He is
a cattle man and is all right in that
sphere, and it is sphere wherein the
successful man is deserving OF as much
honor as he whose work and training
have peculiarly fitted him for an office
where legal and clerical ability are abso-
lutte requisites. But Mr.. AnthOny's line
of work has never developed in him any
of that sort of ability which is needed in
the office for which he is candidate.
and he makes no claim that he has it.
He knows nothing of the law of ad-
ministrators, executors. or any other OF
the laws relating to the conduct of the
Probate Court. and he does not pretend
to. Day after day men of equal stand
ing in ability along these lines consult
our present Probate Judge and are guild
ed in their business transactions by the
council obtained. Mr.. Anthony's elec-
ton would mean that claimants on public
lands, administrators and others interest
ed in estates, many of them poor and
needy, would be compelled to consult
lawyer as to how to proceed in the
simplest details of matters relating to
their interests. all of which information
has always been freely and gladly given
by the present incumbent and the pres
ent Republican candidate.
The training of the two men has SIM
ply been such as qualities one and dis
qualities the other for this important po-
sitiOn.

Our democratic friends urge that H.
NJ. Clark. our candidate for District
Clerk. is not well known throughout the
county. They will find that he has be-
come acquainted by the 4th of November.
Mr.. Clark is one of those men that to
know is to respect; he is modest and
unassuming. but he is good, honest man
hood all through. If he is elected Dis
trict Clerk he will attend to the duties of
that office in way that will give satis-
faction to all. He will be the clerk and
will not be dependent upon others. and
when court is in session he will be found
at his post. If the people of Ford county
want capable and efficient officer for
District Clerk they should support the
Republican nominee. II. NJ. Clark.

J. A. BEADLE is making friends every
day in his canvass. There is no reason
why Mr.. Beadle should not be elected
County Superintendent OF Schools. There
can exist no good reason why any Re-
publican should refuse to vote for him.
and there are many in existence point
ing towards the duty of every person
who has the welfare of the common
schools at heart to render him warn
support. His qualifications are unexcell-
ed by any teacher in the county. He is
honest, straightforward and conscien-
tious, and his character is above reproach.
He is in sympathy with the country
schools and knows their needs. His op-
ponent has no advantage of him in point
of education, personal fitness or charac-
ter, and labors with the disadvantage of
not being versed in the needs of the
schools of the country. He has occupied
a secondary position in the schools of
the city for several years and is essen
TALLY city teacher, and necessarily out
of line and touch with the work in the
country. The County Superintendent
has nothing to do with the city schools.
His entire work is in the country. A man
from the country is then the man to be
made County Superintendent if he is
a man of MIR. Beadle's qualifications.
Mr. Beadle is man with the true grit;
he does not hesitate to stoop to honest
toll. His health having failed him he
went to work on farm raising crops and
has made success in that line rs in all
others in which he has engaged. The
people of Ford county should see to it
that honest, capable, intelligent Jesse
Beadle, the unassnming farmer-school
teacher. is made the next County Super
intendent.

JOHN w. SIDLOw will be reelected
commissioner from the First district If
the people of that district realize how
faithfully he has adhered to everything
pertaining to their interests. Never has
measure come up before the board of
county commissioners in which citizens
of the east end were interested but John
Sidlow has stood manfully by it. He is
an honest, capable officer, and never
misses an opportunity to advance the in
terests of the county by cntting down
expenses and opposing wasteful extrav-
a0ance.

OUR candidate for representative to the
Legislature, John l.. Finley, is farmer
living in Royal township. He has been
a resident of Ford county for six years.
engaged in farming all the time, and has
done as much toward developing the
farm interest and to show by active,
practical work, what can be done in that
business as any man in the county. He
has been for the last two years president
of the Ford County Farmers Association
and last year held the most successful
fair ever held in the county. He has
held two farmers institutes which were
very successful, and at the last got the
Hon. A. w. Smith and Martin Mohler,
president and secretary of the state board
of agriculture, to attend and read papers
and make speeches that were very en-
coaraging to keep farmers from leaving
Ford county; and in every way done all
he could to build up the farming indus
try of this part of the state. He is set
tied here with his family and proposes
to stay right with US. He came here
from Illinois. where he had been in the
mercantile business for nearly twenty
years, ever since be came out of the army
in 1865. He served under the gallant
Phil. Sheridan from Winchester to Ap-
pomattox Court House and saw the last
remnant of the rebel army under Lee
surrender to the great commander,
Grant. Was three times promoted for
gallant aud meritorious conduct on the
field of battle: and in all places he has
ever held, and under all circumstances
has always been equal to the position;
and if elected to the legislature, as we
are sure he will be. will do his part to
promote the best interests of Ford cOun-
ty in all particulars.

COLORADO appears to be aspiring to
the unenviable notoriety that Kansas has
hitherto had monopoly on. namely
county seat wars. Thursdays dispatches
tell of an encounter between parties from
Boston and Springfield. the two aspir-
ants for county seat hOnors in Baca
county. This county was created by the
last general assembly of Colorado from
Las Animas county, and Springfield was
designated as county seat, which was
also confirmed at the last general elec-
ton. The Boston people claimed that
Springfield had failed to keep its agree
ment in providing suitable accOmmOda-
tions for county business, and were urg-
ing a removal. The only building in the
county fit for court house was frame
one located at Boston and it was recent
" sold by the sheriff and bought by the
Springfield parties. Saturday night an
attempt was made to move the building,
and in fact it had been moved five or six
miles when a Boston party overlook it,
and Immediately fire was opened by both
sides. The Boston party captured the
house and burned it. Both towns are In
arms and the aid of the state has been
invoked to preserve order. Incidents OF
this kind were quite familiar in Kansas
only short time ago but the scenes OF
such warfare is moving west and seems
to have passed our state line. For this
we may be thankful.

A NEW epoch iu the history of railroad

A NEW epoch. in the history Of railroad
commerce may be counted from the date
of the shippers meeting last Thursday
in Chicago. Delegates from nearly all
the large cities of the United States met
and organized national transportation
organization. The object is to meet Or
ganized railroads with organized ship
pers: to secure equal advantages to ALL
prevent unfair dealings and discrimina-
tions. to secure freight classificatlons
which shall be as fair for the shipper as
for the railroad, and to assist the inter-
state commerce commission in its work
and render it of more practical value.
The plan of procedure seems to be one
of merit and the class of men in the lead
promise something of permanent beneft.

was thrown into quite an excitement last
week by the efforts of the county sur
veyor to induce the land holders by every
conceivable means to sign his petition to
himself to survey the township. Some
were impressed that by all means the
township should be surveyed before they
proved up, so that the expense should
fall on the shoulders of those who had
made final proof; others that the county
treasury would have to foot the bill
Others were promised that if they would
not oppose it their part of the expense
would be remitted. Some were prom
ised Il job on the survey for helping tC
work up the scheme. and nearly every
one was informed that majority had
already been obtained, and that the work
would proceed whether they signed the
petition or not. Some were informed
that everybody else had signed it and
they might as well. One farmer. how
ever, could neither be persuaded, bribed
nor scared to sign, but started Il remOn-
STRANGE against the tilching of SGOO.OO or
$4,000 from the township at such a time
as this by deception and fraud. This
was signed by almost every one to whom
it was presented until a clear majority
was reached, which leaves the surveyor
with the bag to hold. A few persons
who had not proved up were so fully i'm
pressed that neighbOrs who had made
final proof would have all the expenses
to pay that they positively declined to
sign the remOnstrance. Was that demo-
cratic official integrity? FARMER.
