The telephone Office has a new

satisfactory in the position.
The lecture on prison life during
the war by Chas. FOsdick Saturday
evening was fairly well attended and
was enjoyed by those present.
The News puts up rooster for
Humphrey when it gave columns every
week in the campaign supporting
Nicholson. The News has less princi-
pie than any paper in Kansas.
The poor old Monitor crows over
election but does not give a single
figure to show what it is growing about.
The readers of the Monitor have a
pretty dim idea of what is going on.
Miss Myrtle Carpenter entertained
about 25 of her friends at her home on
South Second street last evening.
Music, dancing, cards and a well
appointed supper made up the attrac-
tions of the evening.
-''Victory Is Ours-The Peoples
Party Elects Part of the Officers, :"
snivels the News. Glad to see you get
down off the fence and show where you
are. You are just about wild enough
to be a calamity organ.
Sheriff A. Anderson, of Osborne
county, was in the city with a prisoner
on his way to the penitentisry. The
train at noon did not stop as he expect
ed and b)th sheriff and prisoner were
left. They go on tonight to their
destination.
Council Grove Republican: Dick
inson county republicans elected most
of their county ticket and overcame
the 900 majority of last year. The
REFLECTOR and its editor are both to
be congratulated on the noble fight
they made against heavy odds.
The Salins News says in a report
Of a church concert: Abilene's distin.
guished vocalist, Mrs. Herbert Hodge,
followed the next recital of Miss Nc
IntOsh with solo and encore peice,
both of which were well rendered and
exhibited lovely voice of rare power.
Geo. Kirk received a postal card
from an old friend in Ohio containing
the significant words, "Out of Sight, -
"GOOd bye, John, Take Sockless Jerry
Home Free Sugar and Piqua Tin. :"
It is needless to add that Jerry is a
dead duck and republicanism at a
premium.
The largest number of votes cast
at the late election for any one officer
was 1870 for sheriff. Last year the
total vote on governor was 1853. The
alliance men who are claiming that
their loss Of 800 majority was because
Of that much smaller vote are thus let
out of their argument.
The men who act as judges of
election do not do it entirely for their
health. Each one gets $2 and the one
who takes the poll books to the county
clerk gets from one to six dollars extra,
according to mileage. Every election
costs the county $455 for such services
alone. It helps to keep the money in
circulation.
