A NOTE REDEEMED.
The First Postal Order Issued In PIIfsburg
Comes Home to RoOsf.

W. d. McCleary, the Mayors clerk, yes
terday met an old friend, his own signature
made on Septenber 8, 1888. 1t was the
first postal order issued in Pittsburg while
the well known gentleman who is at home
with all callers at the Mayors Office, acted
as postmaster.
Mr.. McCleary said yesterday that Order
No. issued under his signature would be
certainly honored by him more especially
as it had been sent from Kansas City to
Pittsburg in partial payment Of a year, SUBJ
scription to a newspaper. The amount of
the order was not enough to make even the
Lawrence Bank squirm as it was only 81 II,
but in order to avoid the red tape which is
necessary in order to redeem expired notes,
Mr.. McCleary cashed the note himself and
holds it as both an available asset and
relic.

No Candidate Named.

The democratic delegate convention
held at Pratt Center Tuesday of this
week concluded it wisest not to put a
candidate in the field for congress this
year. There should have been 113 del
egates present, but several counties
sent no delegates at all, some of them
which are pretty well populated too,
and cast a very respectable vote two
years ago. Fighty-two delegates were
represented, and of the 50 votes cast 46
were in favor of making no nomination
and So wanted straight democrat
nominated. The boys who were red
hot for a democratic candidate did not
have man;to offer who had the ability,
the time or the means to make a
respectable canvas of the district, and
the more sober minded of the delegates
concluded it best not TO put man to
be sacrificed, but to leave a. clear field to
Jerry and Jim.
We will next week give a fuller
report of the convention and publish
the resolutions. which, by the way. are
built upon the plan of all democratic
resolutions, straight and to the point,
and without fear or favor.
The garbled and highly colored report
of the convention that appeared in the
Hutchinson Ne,cs of Wednesday morn
ing is only on line with the past pol
itical policy of that paper. 1t was the
desire of the Ne,os that the Pratt con-
vention place a man in nomination.
and nothing would have pleased. that
paper and its political followers better
than! to have seen the democrats select
some candidateolike old man Brisco of
that city and offer him as political
sacrifice.
The delegates from the strong demo-
cratic counties and from the counties
that were more densely populated were
opposed to making any nomination,
and succeeded by their earnest and
sober arguments in bringing a majority
of the delegates to their way of think
ing. -
The convention was composed of a
splendid set of men with of course, the
exception of the Barton county delega
tion-the writer hereof), and We
believe their action was the wisest
that could have been taken.
Democrats know that they will get
nothing but bitter abuse and denunci-
alton from Slippery Hal. and they hola
r1<>n tr a.
and by taking no hand in the fight now
on between the two they will come out
as clean and undefled as ever in 1892

pleasure to notice how the talent of

below the favorable comment Of the
press of that town:
''Miss Georgia (Bo-Peep) Welles, the
star Of the evening, possesses remark
able talent as Az elocutionist and char
actef actress for one so Young. The
rendition of some Of her pieces displayed
natural genius and degree of culta-

FOSBURC Oh.

born in Pennington, Franklin county,
Maine, April 18th, 1918 and died at her
home in Great Bend township, Barton
county, Kansas, July 25th, 1890. Aged
72 years, 8, months and twelve days; a
pioneer of Barton county, having been
resident Is years.
Following is the discourse delivered
at the funeral.
We are brought together today to
witness the work of that dread ending
of all mortality, death; mother in
Israel has been called from this exist
ence, into another It is customary for
christians to speak of the religion of
Jesus Christ, in its relation to this life
and the future, and in connection with
such an occasion as this, to make its
truths more impressive, cannot find
subject which will present the truth
of Christ's religion better than the life
and character of the deceased. I could
not pay higher tribute to her memory
than to state the truth in regard to her
past life, and I find no portion of the
sacred scripture more applicable to the
case than that recorded in Revelation
II ID: Blessed are the dead which die
in the Lord from hencefOrth: Yea,
saith the spirit, that they may rest
from their labors, and their works do
follow them. Blessed are the dead
which die in the Lord from henceforth:
There is mystery surrounding
death, which we cannot fathOm, our
friends are crossing over the mystic
river, we may follow them to its mar
gin, see them embark, but the landing
on the other side is hidden from our.
view; we look around us but from the
living there comes no answer to the
query, What is odi destiny? We turn
to the author of our being. He has
the power over death, and find record
edin His word the utterance of voice
that came from beyond the tomb tell
ing us of the dead, saying they are
blessed who die in the Lord; the hence
forth has reference to the completed
salvation, wrought by Him who stood
i'm the midst of'the seven golden candle
sticks, for these words were spoken in
the early beginning of the era: why are
they blessed? Weread in the scripture
that God so loved the world that who
sOever believeth in him should not per-
ish, but have everlasting life; He there
fore, las purchased life eternal for
those who die in the Lord, and they
shall live, that is why they are blessed;
we speak of the life we live here, but |
when looked at In the light of eternal
life, this is but a living death we are
surrounded by, and existing in the ele-
ments of death constantly, time has |
laid his corroding touch upon all things |
material, each hour, each pulse beat is |
fastening us on toward decay. Death |
awaits all mortality, here on earth we
are always dying; but those who die in |
the Lord shall live forever where death
never comes; they then begin an exist
ence which alone can truly be called |
life. A firm anwavering faith in |
christian consecrated life, and COM
plete submission to the Divine will is |
necessary to enable us to die in the |
Lord" Such was the. life of this |
mother. in Israel. she lived, truly con-
secretrated life, and like the apostle |
Paul, she was not ashamed of the Cos |
pei OF Christ. Many of the friends here |

The gentleman who a few weeks ago had the other
papers of the city to his relief by attacking the
editor of the Register, about a matter which they
kne8 nothing of, ull do well TO practice soberness
truth and virtue. and thereby avoid the mortifca-
tion that results from such rumors are afoat.-
Reyister.
Why has not the editor of the Reg
ister the manliness to come out squarely
and honestly instead of such coGardly
insinuations as the abovef We can
readily see how his political training
prompts him to resort to vague inuendo
and insinuation in political matters; but
when he first attacks a privsLe indi-
vidual as he did the gentleman he
means to libel in the above, and then
keeps up the fight by limiting ct mat
tiers which he KNOWS are but the
vagaries of meddlesome scandal-mon-
gers, he is going too far to not be
publicly denounced.
