founding hospitals so per cent. of bottle

The musicale on Thursday evening for the
benefit of the National Fencibles at the Ma
tional Rifles Hall was a marked success, and
no doubt the Fencibles finances will, in conse-
quence, aid them to take the coveted competi-
tive trip West. The printed programme con-
sisted of twelve numbers, but as each performer
was encored there really were twenty-four mum
bers. d. g. pfeffer's encore was a charming
rendition of SWAY Down Upon the Shawnee
Ribber," with variations, while Miss Eulalie
Domer-Rheem was most fatteringly received
Miss Dexter's recitation had to be omitted on
account of illness. Mr.. Herndon Morsell en-
chanted with his fine singing, and the either
solo by Mr. Henry E, Rupprecht was simply
charming. Miss Bertha Lincoln's popularity
was abundantly proved by her reception, and
the Schubert Quartette (Messrs. Mosher Bird,
Kaiser, and Keller were delightful in their
selections. Miss Meta Henry volunteered to
take the place of Miss Dexter, and she rendered
''Bobolinkn and 'The Bugaboos will Get You''
with much simplicity and naturalness of manner.
Mr.. Berry +. Keller amply sustained his repu-
tation as fine basso soloist in his rendering of
"Old Tubal Cain"
Thursday was quite generally observed as a
reception day in the Senatorial circle. Mrs.

HON. JOSEPH DILLON.
The Democrat Resubmission Candidate
for State Auditor.

The Democrat Resubmission Candidate
for State Auditor.
Is 40 years of age, born in Ireland,
came to this country when he was only
eight years of age, settled in New York
with his parents, his father having had
to leave his native country on account
of being connected with revolutionary
movements against the British govern
ment. Young Joseph Dillon received
a common school education and resided
in New York until 1877, when he moved
to Michigan; not liking that state he
came to Kansas and settled in Kearny
county in 1879 and engaged in the pub
lication of the Hartland Herald which
paper he still owns and edits. He was
postmaster at Hartland underPresident
Cleveland, when he had the distribu-
ton of mail for some thirty-five other
postofhces, during the booming times
of Kansas, handling daily thousands of
dollars for the government and,,the num-
erOus banks in the southwest. During
his term of Office neither the govern
ment or the people ever lost a cent that
passed through his hands, having slept
many nights on the soft side of a board
rather than have the property of the
people in poorly protected postoffice.
His record as a government official
stands in the postoffice department at
Washington without a blemish-
Few men have done more with the
pen to advertise the Southwest than
Mr.. Dillon. His whole soul is in liy-
ing to see the southwest blossom ike a
rose. He is loved and respected by all
his numerous friends and will poll as
many republican as democrat votes.

PROHIBITION DON'T PROHIBIT.

Last week Judges Foster and Phillips,
of the L s circuit court, in session at
Topeka rendered a decision to the
effect that the so-called Wilson law
recently enacted by congress was
entirely imperative in states which had,
at the time of the passage of that bill,
prohibitory laws; that such prohibitory
laws to be effective would have TO be
enacted by the state legislatures AFTER
the passage of and in conformity with
the Wilson law. As a consequence,
the sale of liquor in original pack
ages in Kansas can go on again just
the same as before the Wilson bill
came into force. The republicans in
congress we're told that the law would
not stand the test of courts. but they
were forced to take some steps to
bolster up the waning interest in pro-
hibition, and they passed an act that,
so far as Kansas is concerned at the
present time, amounts to nothing.
We do not want to see the liquor
business conducted by the original pack
age houses; no one who has the good
of his community at heart wants to see
that business succeed; it is one grade
worse than having a prohibitory law
and no officers willing OF able 10 enforce
it. What we do want To see, and what
we do believe would be to the interest
of the entire state, is a submission of
the question Of prohibition to an hon.
est vote of the people, and thus obtain
their desires as to whether or not they
want the prohibitory laws re-enacted. q.
In order that We may get the voice of
the people in the matter it Will be
necessary to elect members of the house
able to your desires.
The republican prohibition party,
alarmed at the situation in this state,
are out now in an appeal to prohibi-
tionists frem all parties To stand by
them in the coming fall elections;
saying that the only hope for
prohibition in Kansas lies in
again electing representatives who Will
act immediately in re-enacting the
prohibitory law and making it if
possible more stringent and overbear-
ing than ever.
Resubmissionists, you men who
believe that the people OF the state
should again have an opportunity to
say whether OF not prohibition shall
stay, do you believe that that last,
desperate appeal of the prohibitionists
Will not be heard. and needed? DO
you know that if you consider the
question Of resubnission OF any impor-
tance now is the time for you TO act?
Ii you fail in getting Legislature this
year that is favorable to resubmission,
when, in the name of common reasons
will you haye another opportunity TO
express yourselves,
Consider these matters, voters, and
act for the good of your state

THE Willis expose, in the Oskaloosa
Independent, is the first ''scare" the
republican managers have flung into
the alliance camp. They doubtless
have more magazines of their favorite
campaign ammunition ready to fire a
few days before the election, when it
is too late to cOunteract the evil effects
naturally produced. People of the
third party movement will learn in
time that if they want to bring about
reform in Kansas they can only do so
by joining forces with the life long
enemy of the corrupt party now in
power. Until they do learn that they
are liable to accomplish nothing but an
accumulation of ridicule upon their
own heads.

REPUBLICANS of the Humphrey
school have been claiming all along that
prohibition or resubmission cut no
figure this fall; they seldom mentioned
the question in any of their
speeches. Now, however, their
state central committee comes out
in an open letter and asserts that it is
1.-The only issue, the all important
ISSUE" What Il change has come over
the spirit of their dreams! And why?
Simply because two of their own
judges of high degree have given it out
beyond question that their pet prohib-
itory law is virtually a farce Just
what we have been telling the people
all alongl, and they love the farce so
well, they are so welded to hollow
shams and absurd moral pretensions.
that now when they see they are about
to be deprived of them they become
politically distracted and contradict
all they have stated. They are SO des-
perate that they almost crawl ON their
stomachs in humble supplication to the
third party prohibitionists to stand by
them. And it looks now as though the
third party prohibs. would swallow all
the vile names given them by the
republican press; will close their eyes
to the TRUE meaning of the appeal,
andiagain aid the hypocrits and pretend

the waters of progressive public thought
that are about to engulf them. Will
