F. E. NOttorf, the republican candi-
date for county clerk, was practically
elected the day he was nominated and
is only working with reasonable pride
to see how big a majority he will have.
His largest vote will come from the
neighbors of his competitor and his
own neighborhoOd. He is respected by
all who know him as a thorough gen.
tleman and even alliance men are
defending him from the aspersions
thrown upon him by their own party.
He needs no defense, however, as his
character and reputation speaks for
themselves. He will prove himself a
model county officer and will be as sue.
cessful in pleasing the people as he has
been in farming and business life.

Here is an extract from one of Nc
Kinley's speeches that contains a
bushel of common sense compressed
into nut shell. Every sensible farmer
will endorse it: "The farmer doesn't
want any more farms; he wants more
mouths TO feed: more men who 90
not produce from the soil but who
earn money in the shop, and he
wants them as near his field of
production as he can get them. The
closer you can bring the field of pro-
duction to the field of consumption,
the better it. viii be for both the
producer and consumer"

WOMEN AND The FAIR.
What They Are Doing Toward Great
Exhibition of Their Achievements.

What They Are Doing Toward Great
Exhibition of Their achievements
Ever since special women's depart
ment was made feature of the Worlds
Columbian Exposition the women of
America and the world have been on
their mettle. What was ut first decided
n piece of folly by some croakers and
a useless innovation by others, has even
at this early date amply justified its ex-
istence. Never before has emancipated
woman had such an opportunity for
displaying to the world her special
achievements. From the old world
came gratifying assurances that wom-
ems cooperation in this worlds fair
will be on scale little less generous
than in the United States. Mrs, Palm
ers labors in Europe have laid the
foundation of a network of women's
organizations in every civilized country
with the special object of cooperation
in the women's display at the fair. In
England several royal personages have
given aid to the movement in behalf OF
the women's display, and the value OF
such cooperation can best be estimated
by reflection that no English commits
sion is properly introduced to public no
tice without the sanction of royalty.
In France Mrs Palmer's work OF or
ganization has been enthusiastically
aided by President and Nine. Carnot.
From Austria, Germany, and even
from Turkey, come assurance that the
special women's department at the fair
viii receive the support and co-opera-
tion of the leading women in these
countries On this continent the work
already accomplished places the wom-
ems department in the van of progress
as regards preparations for the fair
State after state has fallen into line by
placing women on the state commits
sions and frequently on the executive
boards. Illinois has led all the others
in the matter of special appropriation
for the womens department., and by
such action has given a powerful slim
illus to the movement From Canada,
Mexico and South America come the
same assurances that the women of
those countries will send exhibits and
take active part in the work of the
women's department The prominence
which woman's work is to receive at
the fair is, of course, partly due to the
fact that it is departure from prece-
dent and characteristic of the age In
no other country than the United States
could such recognition of woman's
capacity to manage a great exhibit
have been possible. Where America
leads the world follows, and nowhere
will this truism be better illustrated
than in the universal impetus to wom-
ans freedom as result of her share in
the great exposition. Chicago News.
