AsBuRy PARK, Sept. Is, 1890. The ocean
has been alive with bluetish for the past
few days. School after school has passed
along the shore front en- route South. the
fish keeping close to the beach and feed
ing on the mullets and moss bankers
found just outside the breakers.
Several thousand fish We're caught from
Off the boardwalk and Fishing Pier yes
terday. The sport caused hundreds Of
natives to flock to the beach, each armed
with d line and and squid. So great was
the rush that dealers in fishing tackle
sold out their stock early in the day, and
were obliged to send to The city for a new
supply. /.
III several instances merchants locked
up their stores aud hurried to the pier,
where they spent the day catching the
bluefish.
The professional fishermen say that the
fish will continue IN their southern course
for several more days. The news that
the fish are biting lively has reached the
cities, and anglers are arriving on every
incoming train.

Daintiiy Designed Napkins.

Housekeepers have lately found a
pleasant pastime in the decoration of
napkins suitable for use with various
dishes. There are fish napkins. IN
broidered in tiny shells, sea weed and
coral; egg napkins, embroidered with
chickens in shades of yellow silk; corn
napkins, with ears of corn partly un-
covered. the grains showing; biscuit
and potato napkins, with nonsense
rhymes embroidered IN the corners,
and other napkins too numerous to
mention. They are used of course to
cover the dishes containing the article
to which they are dedicated, to keep
it hot until served.

. Word TO Good Citizens.

"A WOpU TO GOOU ClC1ZenS.
We desire to say an earnest word to
good citizens of every shade Of politi-
cal faith, in respect to the coming cam
paign, and we will say it as bluntly
and plainly as possible.
The only way to make SURE of elect
ing an anti-Ring Sheriff is to choose
a man on whom all factions can
unite, and then unite on him.
With a Jeffersonian candidate, a
Labor party candidate, and a
Republican candidate, it is true, the
Ring may be beaten; but it is prob
lematic. The Ring has strong organ
ization. Its leaders and its heelers
alike are fighting this Fall to keep out
of State Prison. Every effort, honest
and dishonest-so far as dishonesty
can be practiced under the new cleo
tion law--will be exerted to put Mr..
Bob Davis Sheriff in office. The full
strength of the Ring will be exerted
in his favor.
Can any n of the opposing ele-
ments muster strength enough to
overcome this organization? Can
the Republicans? Can the Jeffersoni-
Rns2
1t is possible either one might, but
it Is not certain.
Bnt 1t is certain that the union of
all the independent patriotic elements
in the community will overwhelm the
Ring. The combination will dishearten
and demoralize the ringsters from the
outset. 1t will put hope and courage
into the general body of citizens who
do not understand politics. but who
hate the Ring. With divided tickets
hundreds Of these may stay at home,
because they believe 1t useless to turn
out and vote. With a united ticket
they will all flock to the polls to help
crush the Ring.
Never was the motto truer than in
this case that
I'm Union there Is Strength" ~
-----
CERTAIN Republican Ring leaders
are clamoring today for a straight
Republican ticket. 1t is the old Dave
Lawrence business over again. These
alleged Republicans are just as much
heelers of Bob Davis as his alleged
Democratic followers are, and they
are doing their best to divide the
forces hostile to him so that he may
continue TO be Sheriff with MI. Nc
Phillips as ~igurehead.
Generally, the E0ening Journal is
hostile to this gang; but we expect
it will be with them in this howl for
> straight Republican ticket. 1t has
one characteristic in common with
these alleged Republican leaders. 1t
is absolutely under tho domination of
the Davis Ring.
THE desertion of Colonel McAner-
ney by the ringsters, who pretended
to favor his nomination, is charac-
t~eristic. They simply used his name
as long as it..helped them in their pri-
vate schemes and then dropped him
when they had got all they could
out Of him. The Colonies friends will
presently have a chance to punish
this vile treachery. The ringsters do
not care a rent about the seat in Con-
gress. They would trade it off to the
Republicans to effect their end, and
that end is the election of Mr.. Davis
henchman, Johnny McPhillips, as
Sheriff. Now, gentlemen, you see
what the Ring wants; do you see
where your chance comes INF

Show the Price of the Article.


It would save ladies shopping much
time if articles exposed in shops for
sale we're invariably plainly ticketed
with the price. This is generally con-
certed in a system of cipher, which
an experienced person who for shrewd
business reasons desires to read can
easily fathom, but which involves the
average customer, who has no time to
devote to trade cipher, in the neces-
sity of continually asking the price.
1t is not difficult to read the
trade ciphers of stores at which
one is in the habit Of trading.
After a few purchases the series
of letters of words corresponding to
the numerals are easily found out and
the price read. One house uses
"Gladstone,n another the same word
reversed, another Washington" with
out the last letter. Any word of nine
letters, though preferably one with
out an 20" which may be confused
with a TO- may be taken. One house
uses "a b Q d o + G h IL to take the
place of the numerals for its retail
trademark. This is almost as readily
read as figures. But is there any rea-
son beyond trade tradition that keeps
up this semblance of c~oncealing the
retail price of goods?

A Help to Housekeepers.


For the expenditure of two, or at
the most three cents, in kerosene oil,
a comfortable meal for a family of six
persons can readily be prepared by
the means of a two-wicked stove.
BY lean of the larger Kerosene
stoves a course dinner of any length
may be prepared, also baking and
laundry work done; and all this with
out heating up the house, which is SO
unbearable during the hot summer
days, besides having none of the an
noyance Of cinders and ashes; and
when the meal is ready turn out the
wicks and the expense for fuel ceases.
If heat is needed put on the drum and
you will soon have all the warmth you
require. A large room can be heated
comfortably through an entire winter
day by a two-wicked kerosene stove
for the sum of eight cents.-Good

Treuo County Alliance.

The Trego County Alliance met
last Saturday, August 9th, to can
Eass the vote of the sub-alliances
for nominees for county Offices.
No candidate for representative
had majority Of all the votes cast
and therefore there was no
nomination. The two names re-
ceiving the highest number Of votes
will be returned to the sub-alliances
for another vote. /, L. McGarvie
and R. G. Kessler were the highest.
The same thing occurred in the
Offices of district clerk and superin-
tendent of schools. For district
clerk a, W. Purinton and W. d.
Matthews received the highest vote
and the contest is now between these
two. For superintendent Of schools
Miss Cooper and J. F. Barclay will
be the contestants.
Capt. Welch received the nomina-
ton for probate judge, S. R. Cow
lex for county attorney and D. Per-
shing for commissioner of the sec
ond district. In the third district
there was no choice, C. c. Ridgway
and L. Warne having the highest
number of votes. 1t will be several
weeks yet before the whole ticket
will be nominated.

Alliance Resolutions.

In the report of the proceedings
of the Marshall County Alliance we
find the following:
I'VE passed no resolutions; We mean business ~
We wish more of our sub and
county alliances would get down to
business on the same basis. The St.
Louis demands are all the resolu-
tons we need at this time. Let us
all get squarely upon these demands
and stand there, refusing to add or
abate word or syllable. Upon this
platform let us win or lose. If we
refuse to consider other issues, or
permit our attitude to be diverted
from these by the persistent efforts
and cunning schemes of the enemy,
our position is invulnerable and the
powers of hell cannot prevail against
alliance Adrocate.

The Wilson bill has become a
law, the President having affixed his
signature thereto. The Missourians
doing business in Kansas have
packed up their effects and sadly re-
turned home. The experiment of
forcing a traffic, which is generally
opposed BY public sentiment, upon a
people, has not been profitable to
the original package dealer. They
have been harrassed by litigation
and have met with determined OPP
position in every community. From
q financial standpoint, the business
has been signal failure.

PEOPLES PARTY CONVENTION.

AOfEhAs Nall, aug. 99' HO
state convention of the Peoples par
ty assembled this forming at ten
O'Clock, in Representative hall, with
about 400 delegates present. Near
ly every county, except in the west
ern part of the state, was repre-
scented.
The meeting was called to order
by ]. F. Willets, chairman of the
state centra. committee. Prayer
was offered by o. W. Jones, of But
Ter county. and, under the leadersh;
of Mr.. Jones, the convention sang
"America." Mr.. Willets was made
temporary chairman and Ben. C..
Rich, of Trego county, temporary
secretary.
Mrs. NJ. E. Lease, of Wichita, was
introduced and addressed the con-
vention for half an hour on the sub
ject Of temperance. She said that
prohibition was an issue Of no con-
sequence.
C. A. Power, of Indiana, was in
troduced and spoke on the subject
Of pension legislation. Before he
began speaking the chairman asked
all old soldiers in the convention to
arise and about fifty responded. Mr..
Power said he had been a Republi-
can good many years, but he was
now done with the party. The Har-
rison administration had been
against service pensions because it
would not please Wall street inter
ests. He charged that the Republi-
can administration was granting
five times as many pensions in doubt
full states as in Kansas and other
states where it was assured Of a ma
jority. He said there was no man
in the United States congress who
had more shamefully betrayed the
old soldiers than John ]. ingalls,.
The convention then adjourned
to one o'clock.
RoBINsoN'S STRENGTH DECREASING.
There IS a growing sentiment
against the nomination of Robinson
because of his ultra anti-prohibition
views. Many of the delegates are
Prohibitionists. and. while they are
willing to ignore the question of
prohibition in their platform, they
will not submit to the nomination
of man who is outspoken against
prohibition. On the other hand
Robinson declares he will not stand
as a candidate on any platform
which embraces anything but the
st. Louis platform.
There is very respectable follow
ing for ]. F. Willets, of Jefferson
county, for Governor. He is pro-
hibitionist and would satisfy that
element.
Leading Democrats are here in
the interest of Robinson. A dele
cation from Leavenworth headed by
Ed. Carroll is doing some earnest
work for him. If J. F. Willets is
not nominated for Governor he will
be chosen for Lieutenant-GovernOr.
There seems to be no definite
strength worked up for any other
person for any other Office.
The convention did not reassem-
BILE until two o'clock. The hall was
crowded to its utmost capacity. a
large number Of delegates having ar
rived on the noon trains.
Over 500 spectators, including
prominent Republicans and Demo
Gratis, were also present.
The committee on permanent or
ganization presented report recon-
mending P. P. Elder, of Franklin
county, who was the Union Labor
party's candidate for Governor two
years ago, for permanent chairman,
Ben. c. Rich, of Trego county, for
permanent secretary, and ]. B. Cald-
well, of Sedgwick county, for assist
