Best" 1t is A l, and will soon put a

and Of the mill in another column.
Chase County Record: 1.-The sorghum
factory in Medicine Lodge is expecting

w. l.. z. Burney, formerly of the firm
of shannon, Shannon Il Burney, and a
son of DIR. Burney, of this city, has been
nominated for county attorney by the
republicans at Olathe. Mr.. Burney is a
clever gentleman, a rising and studious
young lawyer, and we can endorse him
every way but politically.
w. Z. Collins is sick of the ingrati-
tude of man. When the republican
club wanted to make him its president,
he declined in favor of John MeGregOr,
and John was selected. Monday night
John threatened to arrest w. Il. for
some Offense which he claims he did not
commit. But what dandy president
w. T. would have made.

good time guaranteed to all.
o. L. Beeson and his suppol tiers are
trying, by implication, to give the i'm
preston that the peoples candidate, J.
o. Hahn, has not the ability to conduct
a normal institute. A squib for this
purpose appeared in the Cresset last
week. over the signature of "A Teach
er." If Teacher" has anything to say
worth communicating, and is not
ashamed of it, why can't he sign his
correct name? Is it because he fears
that Mr.. II, will be the next county sup
erintendent, and that Teacher" might
feel embarrassed" when he applies
for his next certificate? We are told
that Mr.. BeeSon, in his talk at Sharon
Saturday evening told the people sub
stantially the same as Teacher" does,
asking them to vote for superinten-
dent who has ability enough to conduct
a normal" Now, no one WHO is &C
quainted with Mr.. Hahn doubts his
ability to conduct normal Institutes or
to perform any OF the other duties of
the superintendent, and the dark de-
sign of assuming to represent number
of teachers over blind signature will
not work in Barber county this year.
