all was hustle and excitement round the
shores of Stanley Pool, loading the various
little stern-wheel steamers and at our eta
ton, endeavoring to construct haSty slip
to effect the launch of the Florida. All our
efforts were in vain; the beams cracked and
bent beneath her weight, and the upright
supports beneath her sank deep in the mud
as we tried to induce the unwieldly frame
of steel to glide down the inclined plane OF
creased logs into the river.
On the third day Of our exertions Stanley
rode over to Kinchasa on his white donkey
to see how we were getting on, and finding
our difficulties by no means diminishing he
announced his intention of returning with a
force of 200 men, and by sheer force getting
the Florida into the water.
My bulldog. Paddy, had but just emerged
victorious from conflict with two native
ours in the neighboring village, and Stanley
was much struck and amused bv the torn
and disreputablc appearance of poor Paddy.
After regarding him for some time, he
turned to me with twinkle in his eye and
said; well, Mr.. Easement, there's no ac-
counting for tastes, but you certainly have
the strangest taste In dogs ever came across.
Why don't you get some zinc ointment or
vaseline and medicate the poor brute's
eyes?"
But poor Paddy's condition called for
more serious remedies than eye salve, for the
poisonous fangs of the native dogs had in
ficted wounds which swelled rapidly, and
in a few days l was compelled to consign
him to the care of medical missionary at
Leopoldville, who effected his restoration to
health and normal proportions.
NOT FREE WITH CHAMPAGNE.
On the following morning Stanley ap-
Peared with about 200 Zanzibaris, and ac-
companled by Stairs, Nelson and Jephson,
and, after some tremendous showing and
hauling, the Florida commenced to move
down fhe slir. Rebuilding our exertions,

While Leland Stanford has been such a
large figure in the history of his State, and
his public acts are public property, there
are some incidents in his career that are not
generally known. If he Is not living ex-

In 1860 he was delegate to the Chicago

ROUND ABOUT TOWN.

There was another skim OF snow last
night, but the warm earth soon caused ii
to disappear from the valley. In the
mountains, however, north and east Of
the city, it is.still showing. In fact, it has
been at it for two days and nights and it
is pleasure for the valley fruit growers
to reflect that the coming spring will find
an abundance of water in the bitches for
irrigatng their crops.
1t is rumored that the business on the
A., T. & s. F. is picking up so much that
four crews Of engineers and firemen will
be sent to this division from Topeka.
Some such change is certainly required
by the present condition of things. All
trains are very irregular, and shippers
complain that they can not secure their
freight in anything like reasonable time
from eastern points.
S. N. Clifford, wide awake Chicago
man representing f. W. Gillett, is here
to-day on his first visit. He has hereto
fore travelled in Colorado, but will next
year add New Mexico to his field. Mr.
Clifford says he heard great deal while
in Denver recently about Santa FEES
prospects, and he says big rush Of
Colorado capital may be expected here
early in the spring.
Since the vote was canvassed this az
ternoon by the new board Of county COM
missioners, it is reported that ex.Com
missioner Martinez has arrived in town,
and that telegram has been sent to ex'
Commissioner Wyllys, urging him, for
Gods sake, to return.
Mr.. A. G. Haden, the fruit farmer who
recently came here from Pueblo, Colo,
and purchased the Engler place, has
three men employed in improving the
property and is also laying foundation
for new dwelling thereon.
Bids for the erection Of the Electric
company's power house are advertised for
elsewhere in this issue.
Several more important real estate deals
are about being closed up.

two orders had been read to the clerk
they took their seats at the desk and
waited short time for the arrival OF
Chairman Sloan. He failed to show up,
however, and the canvass of the vote, as
per the courts order was under way,
Commissioner North acting as chairman,
when presently Commissioner Sloan ap-
peared He was made acquainted with
the status OF affairs and said he was will
Ing to Cooperate with the new commits
sioners in canvassing the returns from
Galisteo precinct No. s, INT did not
consider that he was called upon
to re-canvass the entire vote OF the
county. The now commissioners said
that they took it that they were
directed TO canvass the entire vote
of the county and they %onld do 80,
whereupon Conn. Sloan left his seat and
said they could 60 ahead and do it then
without him. This was done. While the
commissioners were engaged, J. 2. Vic
tory came into the clerks office, and
seemed surprised at the turn affairs had
taken. He remarked:
81 take the responsibility. gentlemen,
OF notifying you right now that only one
OF the commissioners is out of the terri
tory"
ooh, that doesn't make any differ
ence," said Commissioners North and
Grace, and the canvass went on.
AT ? 80 this afternoon the entire vote
had been canvassed, including the sub
stitute certificate from Galisteo precinct
No. s, and the totals were figured up
about o'clock, when short recess was
taken in order to prepare the certificates.
In the certificate from Golden precinct
No. II, it was found that FIVE of the votes
cast had not been counted by the judges.
1t seems that they were cast by parties
who made affidavit that they, being
aliens, had complied with all require.
ments of law and were entitled to vote,
but neverthel ess their votes were not
counted by the board, but we're marked
rejected. These were 4 votes for the
Republican ticket. The commissioners
did not undertake to declare whether the
Golden precinct judges of election had
erred or not in acting thus, nor we're the
rejected" votes counted in to-day's can
vass, but the facts we're reduced to writing
and will be certified up to the district
court
Without taking into account these four
Republican votes from Golden, precinct
II, the canvass shows tie to exist be-
tween Staab, Republican, and Dreamer,
Democrat, for county commissioner.
Reads majority for the leg
islature over Easley, is one. The
Republicans elect their ticket
except sheriff, treasurer, coroner and
county clerk. In the case OF the tie vote
for commissioner Mr.. Staab will institute
contest, for it is known that some eight
votes for him were thrown out at Galisteo
because his name appeared on the ballot
in lead pencil instead OF Ink. The GER
tificates OF election were issued to the sue
cesslul candidates ut o'clock this after
noon

a Little political Historv.

The people of this county and DIS
trict were so Disguised last spring at
the four delegate scheme and the &C
ton of the Colby Convention, that the
political Cyclone that swept Kansas
began right here in the Northwestern
part of the State and spread to other
localities To illustrate: F. @. John
son CLERK of the Court, elect was a
member of the Republican County
Committee when that four delegate
fraud was perpetrated and the Colby
farce enacted. He, with others, de-
clared he would not submit to such
maneuvers. He resigned his mem
bership of the Committee and said he
felt it to be his duty thereafter to use
his influence to cause the Farmers
Alliance to act Independently of the
Republican party. McNay was put
up by the Colby Convention as Re-
publican Congressional Committee
man in this county and F. G. John
son was made like Committeeman by
the Hill City Alliance Convention.
Our readers know the result of the
battle. The HERALD warned the polit.
cal leaders repeatedly last spring
against the practice of crooked and
un-republican methods, and more
than once predicted Republican de-
feat unless the party pursued an hon
orable course and heartily espoused
the cause Of the people. Our warn
ings went UNDECIDED, and Mackgomery
and Montnay had themselves pro
NOTED to leadership which soon Sc
the voters skedadling from the Re
publican camp. The misfortune o
it all is that splendid men on the Re
publican ticket were made to suffe
because of acts of others.

WHEN Editor Bickford was man
ager. of the Dispatch it often contain
ed some well written articles and the
spelling was good. Since he left the
Office that paper often comes out con-
tanning alleged editorials so full of
words wrongly spelled and sentences
so disjointed that it makes one feel
like having the lock-jaw to read them.
Last week that paper contained an
editorial which for egotism, bad spell
ing, ignorance and ungramstical SEN
fences would be hard to beat. 1t
finally wound up in these words:
Come on Brother Dague, nothing
like a little excitement. Don't you
want to discuss the -Four Delegate"
scheme, or Splritialism with Orthdox.
Now we are not averse to having a
little excitement, and being of an &C
commodating disposition are inclined
to discuss with Bro McNay almost
any subject, but we confess we do not
know exactly what kind of an ism
''Spiritialism" is, nor what sort of an
OK ''Orthdox'' is Will Mr.. McNay
inform us just what species of ami
mails these belong to.

The Dispatch editor wants to en-
gage us in a wrangle over religious
beliefs. This he has tried to do be-
fore, not that any good might come
from it but he hopes to create some
prejudice against US because he thinks
our religious faith is not very popu-
lar here. None but narrow minded
bigots denounce other good citizens
because of their religious faith. We
have respect for honest Catholics or
Prostestents or Jews or Liberalists
or Spiritualists, if they are conscien-
tious and are trying to live up to their
highest ideals ''By their fruits shall
ye know them" We have a higher
regard for an honest heather than a
hypocritical Christian, especially one
who will lie so about his military
career, che circulation of his newspa-
per and other worldly affairs.

The DISPATCH has always opposed
re-submisslon believing the majority
of the citizens of our state were in
accord with prohibition, bat the late
election has somewhat changed our
views and especially when we realize
the overwhelming majority of j. n.
Ives for attorney general and the de-
feat of L. B. Kellogg one Of the best
and most reliable prohibltionists that
Kansas has ever known.-DispGtch.
The HERALD has always opposed
re-submission and is still opposed to
that movement. The defeat of Mr..
Kellogg has not changed our belief
in regard to prohibition. We are IN
alterably opposed to the re-establish-
ment of saloons in Kansas. We are
sorry to see the Dispatch change
front on this great question.

Ten days ago we were visiting at

are prosperous towns on the main
line of the Chicago, Burlington &
Quincy Railroad in the southern part
of the State, This Is the centre of the
great Blue Grass region now cele-
brated throughout the west. At Cres-
tan is the Blue Grass Palace which
has the past two years been visited
by thousands of people of Iowa and
neighboring States. Creston is the
leading city of southwestern Iowa
and contains nearly 10000 inhabi-
tants. About 900 men are employed
in the railroad shops there. Osceola
is the county seat of Clark county
and is an old substantial town Of
about $500 souls. Here the Des

Gauge crosses the 90" It Is being

were good in this locality this year as
they generally are, and farmers as a
class are dong well. It is a good
country but we are of the opinion
that Western Kansas is much more
healthful
We had a good time hand-shaking
with our old tune friends and we
parted with them with regret. A
dozen times or more the remark was
made that we looked we'll and did
not seem to grow old rapidly. Oul
reply invaribly was that Kansas is &

The Australian system of voting
was used in New York, Wisconsin,
Indiana and Missouri at the last
election, and it seems to have stood
the test well. It may not be.a perfect
preventative of fraud, but certainly
it does place new and great difficult
les IN the way of the accomplishment
of fraud, and, beyond all doubt, it
gives perfect independence Of action
to the tlmid voter. In the secrecy of
the booth the citizen can prepare a
ticket whose contents are known only
to himself. He can scratch without
surveillance, he can bolt without in
curing opprobrium, and the mechan-
zeal part of voting is done away with
In most instances. This system of
voting has met with general favor
whichever adopted and we hope that
our next legislature will thoroughly
discuss and examine into the merits
of the system, with a view to its
adoption in this state.-Er.

The Beloit Courier says a move is
on foot in the sixth congressional
district to make Judge Joel Holt of
Beloit, a candidate of the Alliance
for .. S. Senator. This is official.
They might make much worse deal
than that. Judge Holt is a compe-
tent man. and if the Sixth can win
with him, provided ingalls, is out of
the race, the state would be grandly
represented in the Senate by. Plumb
and Holt. Mitchell county to the
front. IS our motto.
