Temperance.
Secretary

The Methodist Conference at
Lexington resolved on the wills
ky question, "That we use all
honorable means to secure total
absteniance for the individual and
total prohibition for the State.
That the traffic in and use as a
beverage is a sin and that we
can not consistently as christians
license a wrong and that we are
unutterably opposed to any sys-
tenn of license, high or low.
That we view with alarm the
fact that nine-tenths of the liquor
business in the country is in the
hands of foreign syndicates and
individuals Of foreign birth, who
have no interest in our moral
and religious institution"
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company has sent to each
employee a circular note, of

ployees known to frequent drink
iug-places must be warned to
discontinue the practice or quit
the company's service. EN-
ployees will be discharged if in
toxicated either on or off duty.
No person discharged for intoxi-
cation will be reimployed."

TIE .'Montnay Ring has at last
got into leadership Of the party in
this county, and it is understood they
intend to make 1t hot for ''RefOrm
Republicans and Alliance RepubIi-
cans. Montgomery in his last paper
said:
"He (Dague) claims to be a chris
tian and reformer, but hell is over
populated with men Of his type"
Then McNay Of the Dispatch
chimes in as follows:
Eve presume Dague will caterpil-
lar since Montgomery has been chos-
en- chairman of the central commit
tee"
No, Dague calmly awaits the day
which will come in due time, when
the fact Will be admitted that the ele-
walton of such men as Montgomery
ard McNay to leadership in the party
was a calamity to the party.

TIL recently the HERALD was
printed and mailed on Thursdays
but for two years or more was dated
a day later or on Friday. We found
that the practice of printing a day
before the date of the paper was liza
bic to cause errors, and dId cause
them in legal notices, so q few weeks
ago we changed the date of the HER
AID from Friday to Thursday, the
day we actually issued the HERALD.
All the other papers in Phillipsburg
are published on Thursday, and we
found that ours being on Friday
made more or less confusion with our
patrons. And now GIcNay and Mont
gomery are trying omake their read
ers think there IS something wrong
about that They know better, We
have just as much right to change
our publication day as we have the

HE selection of H. S. Montgomery
as chairman Of the Republican Coun-
ty Committee was a sad blunder, and
is now generally soregarded. Prom
inent Republicans have said to US
that the putting Of a man of such a
bad reputation as Montgomery into
the leadership Of the party in this
county Will lose the ticket a good
many votes. This is a time especial
ly when men Of good repute should
be chosen as the party leaders. The
Republican ticket is a good one and
the candidates viii probably go
through on their merits, but the less
conspicuous Mr.. Montgomery makes
himself the better it Will be for the
ticket.

The Montnay & Mackgomery Ring
have repeatedly said that John Bissell
has dictated the political course of
the HERALD. It is false IN every
particular. Mr. BisseIl has never
even made a suggestion to us as to
the political course of this paper.
There is no political Ring in this
county except the Montgomery &
DIcNay Ring, and that they are yell
ing Ring" Ring" is only to divert
public attention from their own cor
rupt practices. The people of Phil
Township where they know
the chief actors and their maneuvers
know that this Is so, and the whole
county viii find 1t out in due time

IT is very discouraging for men
who want to keep the Republican
party pure and progressive to have
such men as Montgomery put in as
leaders Of the party. The Montnay
& Montgomery ring is in the saddle
no mistake, but the party is suffering
in consequence. It is to be hoped
that the people will not hold the can
didates responsible for the work of
the Ring.

COUNTY ATTORNEY.

COUNTY ATTORNEY.
For County Attorney Hon. R. T.
Shearer Of Logan township was re-
nominated. Mr.. Shearer is serving
his first term. Major Drumhlller in
placing his name before the conven-
ton said in substance ''that Shearer
during his term so far had saved the
county money. He had made some
enemies by reason of his prosecutions
and rigid enforcement of the law, but
his chief opponents had left the state
and" continued the Major, we are
glad, very glad for some of the enc
mics Shearer has made" At the con
clusiOn of the speech Mr.. Shearer
was nominated amid great eDthusi-
asm. Mr.. Shearer before coming to
Kansas served a constituency very
creditably in the Iowa legislature
In the County Attorneys office he
has shown that he possesses ability,
and has been very dilligent in the
discharge of his official duties.
CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT.
j. D. Matteson was nominated for
Clerk of the District Court by ac-
clamatlon and unanimously. This is
a nomination worthily bestowed. Mr..
Matteson is the present incumbent
He too was a Union soldier who saw
a great deal Of hard service; he is al
so about as old a citizen as there is in
Phillips county; coming here as a
poor homesteader He came from
his farm two years ago when elected,
and Will return to it when the people
are done with his services. As an Of
fcer and citizen he is popular. He
IS careful, industrious, Thoroughly
competent officiaI-no better proba-
bly, ever having been called to serve
the people in this county.
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
Without any opposition and by ac-
clamation, W. ". Colby was nomin-
ated for Superintendent Of Public
instruction. Mr.. Colby Is also sery-
ing his first term in that Office. We
have not been in position to know by
personal observation the nature of
Mr.. Colby's work as an educator and
official in the responsible position he
now fills. His friends clam for him
that he has been and is now doing
very efficient service; that he has Wis
tied more schools than his predeces-
sors visited, and that he Is diIigent
and competent, and that he has rails
ed the educational standard among
the teachers in the county.
FOR CORONER.
A. II. Shapley was nominated for
Coroner by reclamation. He is the
present incumbent Mr. Shapley is
also an ex-Unlon soldier who saw
plenty of service; he is farmer, a
leading and honored citizen of Bel
mont township. and an old settler
His Office is ordinarily not a very i'm
portant one but under certain con
tngencies may become such. He Is
in every respect worthy Of the place.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
For County Commissioner of the
First District, the delegates from
that district placed in nomination
W. Landsphere, a gentleman with
whom we have no personal acquain-
taince, and at this writing we are I'm
able to state more than that we are
informed that he is a farmer with the
requisite ability to properly fill the
Office to which he has been nomin-
ated

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

There is a time for everything, and
the secret of success in life lies in doing
things at inst the right moment.
1t is the man who determines the dig
nifty Of the occupation; not tho occupa-
ton that measures the dignity of the
man.
1t is not calculable what may be ac-
complished in everything in life by mod
crate beginnings and judicious perse-
verance.
Never do anything which if you should
see i'll another you should count just
occasion to despise him for, or to think
any way more neanly of him.
1t is idleness that creates impossible
ties, and where men care not to do n
thing, they shelter themselves under a
persuasion that it cannot be done.
Habit in child is at first like q spi-
der's web; if neglected, it becomes a
thread Of twine; next q cord or rope;
finally, n cable, and then who can break
it?
1t is great prudence to gain as many
friends us we honestly can, especially
when it can be done at so easy rate as
a good word; it is great folly to mako
an enemy by i'll words.
Without the friendly exchange Of
kindly words and deeds, without the
sunshine of loving looks and smiles Of
welcome and encouragement, house
may DO q habitation, but never truly q
home.
Blessed is that man who, to mis- age,
has preserved the freshness, tho simpli-
city and the purity of youth. If upon
earth there ia ono sight moro refreshing
than another, it is tho beholding Of u
good. great man.-Montreal Star

TO TIE PUBLIC.

At a meeting Of the Board of Direc-
tors of the Pittsburg Development
Company, held at the company office
April 30, 1890, the condition of the
company was carefully considered.
Rumors to the disparagement of the
Carnegie enterprise and its manage
ment have been set on foot by inter
ested and jealous parties; by some, in
order to bear the stock for speculation
purposes; by others, because it fancied
conflict of interest. The phenomenal
success of the sale at Carnegie, April
22nd, should inspire the stockholders
with confidence in the great value of
the property. This sale is being closed
as rapidly as the officials can do so,
and when closed an official statement
of the grand result will be communi-
Gated to the stockholders. 1t should
be considered that the sales of so large
number of lots to persons scattered
over different States could not all be
closed on the day of sale, and this
should suffice as to delay in publishing
a statement. The only motive for the
publication when the time arrives will
be to satisfy the public as to the as
sured success of the enterprise, so that
it will go forward, the directory hav-
ing no intention or desire to boom
stock for the benefit of spectators.
For the benefit of those who have, in
good faith, invested in the stock, we
now publish that the directory have
passed resolution declaring divi-
dend of So per share, and ordered GER
tificates of stock to be delivered to
stockholders, specifying that 81 per
share has been paid. This is equiv
lent to the action OF some companies
in declaring the stock paid up, but the
directory prefer to reserve ample
funds for improvement and develop
ment, including the necessary aid to |
the manufacturing enterprises already
secured those in contemplation, and
that, in their opinion, no further as
sessment will be needed on the stock.
Based on the aggregate sales, II all IS
ultimately collected, and an estimate
of value of available town-lot land,
would at one-third of the prices OBJ
tanned, the stock of this company
would be worth today $25 per share.
Bearing the estimate at the prime cost
of the remaining lands, the stock IS
worth 81. With property now known
to be worth more than a million dol
lars, the directors propose to pursue
conservative policy to introduce man
enterprises which will pay
and will build up the town, not merely
paper plans to boom stock as is done
A good hotel and water
works will at once be started, for the
comfort and aid of those who have
invested in lots. The company will
sell the remaining lots in plan "a at
list prices and take stock rated at 81
per Share for the cash payment:
