The attention of our readers Is espe-
clally directed to the feed grinder adVer-
tlsed in our columns by E. B. Winger,
famous the United States over by his
cognomen of "Winger, the wind mill
man." Mr.. Wlnger writes TIE ADvO-
GATE that he Is having very large sale
on his grinder owing to the facility with
which it can be attached and run by
pumping windmills. Its character GER
tainly impresses the observer with the
idea that it can be made indispensable to
the farmer, stockmsn and dairymaD.
1t has q simple arrangement by which 1t
can be made to grind coarse or fine.
Mr.. Wlnger is also interested In the great
Honduras Land Company and Burchard
Honduras Company. He gives the most
glowing description Of this new Ell Do
RADIO, especially dwelling on the health
fulness of the climate, which, In addition
to Its wonderful production Of fruit,
valuable grains, dye woods, medicine
plants and magnificent varieties Of won
derful timber, makes a seductive picture
for those with small capital who seek
homes. He will at all times be glad to
furnish full information concerning Hon

hearing of a widow woman whom he

for the house where she resided. He
knocked at the door and the lady in
question answering the call, he Informed
her of bis desire in the following man
ner: "Mrs-, am on the hunt
of wife; have 5000 and eight pillows,
nothing more, nothing less; what say
you, will you have me?" 1t is unneces-
sary to say that the eight pillows decided
the question.

Prohibition in Iowa.

From present appearances the pres
ent contest will forever settle prohibi-
tion in the state of Iowa. Governor
Bois, the democratic nominee, is making
the republicans come out in the open
field and fight for their pet measure.
That is all that is needed to insure de-
feat. Roger q. Mills has been in Iowa
for several weeks taking an active part
in the campaign for Boies. When he
returned to Washington he summed up
his impression of the situation in Iowa
in a most favorable light for the demo-
Gratis.
"Boies lis bound to be elected - he
said, land the democrats will carry
every thing in Iowa These people are
very much worked up, dissatisfied with
the results of long republican rule.
Boies is popular with all classes and
will get good many republican votes.
A number of well-known republicans
told me that they would vote for him
They are going to repeal the prohibi-
tiOn law. 1t does not prohibit, but
disturbs business, and the people are
generally Disguised with its operation.
Whisky is sold in spite of the law, and
the efforts to prevent its sale only lead
to constant conflict"
The Kansas republicans see the writ
ing on the wall and are getting on top
of the fence where they will pose until
they have viewed the result in Iowa
after the smoke of battle has cleared
away. The republican leaders in this
state are now fully persuaded that they
can never win another victory in Kan
sas on a prohibition platform, but they
have not the courage to throw the 20.
litical Jonah overheard. They have
been so long ander control of Barney
Kelley and his crowd that they dare
not break away.-Wichita Beacon.

Silver and Democracy.

U. S. Senator VOORHEES,, of Indiana,
in writing to the NewYork World, says
concerning silver and Jeffersonian
democracy:
II am a JeffersOnian democrat, and
believe that Thomas Jefferson was right
and wise when, in 1855, in the con-
tinental congress, he devised and Sc
cured the adoption of the silver dollar
of 4122 grains as the unit of account
and payment and the standard of val
ues. believe also In the wisdom of
Washington, Hamilton and Madison
and the other great fathers of the re-
public, who established the free and
unlimited coinage of silver. For hlnety
years of American history, the Amer
ican silver dollar in every business
transaction held its head as high as
gold, and sometimes higher, and despite
all the assaults made upon it in these
latter years, 500 in silver, or in paper
certificates based upon silver, will now
purchase just the same as 500 in gold.
and will purchase the gold itself. 1t Is
waste of breath to denounce such a
currency as dishonest money. In In
diana, and in fact throughout the Mis-
sissippi valley, there is really but little,
if any, division of sentiment among the
laboring people il regard to the coin
age and use of silver money. On this
issue. however, as on all others. we will
defer to the platform to be laid down
in the next national convention. There
ought to be no sectiOnalism on the
silver question. The labOring masses,
the wage workers, the farmers, the
mechanics of the empire state of New
York, of the great state of New Jersey
and of the manufacturing state of Con
necticut are just as much and as deeply
interested in the use of silver money as
the people whom I represent on the
other side of the mountains. We are
willing for tariff reform to be foremost
in the fight, but we are not willing for
any one of the leading issues of the
democratic party to be dropped in the
coming contest any more than the
church would be willing to have a por.
tion of the ten commandments torn
out"

Mr.. Stoke complains about having SC
much editorial space devoted to hin in
this paper.-Beacon.
WRONG again, Beacon. We never
complain at trifles. Life is full of petty
annoyances, and he who hopes to make
success of it cannot afford to become
worried over little matters. We would
like, for convenience's sake, to have
you label your editorial matter so that
people could get some idea of what you
were driving at. Then, too, some OF
your readers would probably be inter
ested in knowing who to hold responsi.
BILE. We would suggest that if an
editorial be written by Bro. Armstrong
it should be signed me-; if by Sister
Mccormick, FANNIE" and if by
Brother-in-Law Marsh, "Frankie''. By
adopting this rule in the future the in.
nocent party Or parties would escape
censure and the crime could be laic al
the door OF the guilty ones. Until the
Beacon adopts some plan of this kind
the entire trio will have to be held
culpable and all alike shoulder the ter
rible responsibility of its editorials or
history, congressional records"
democratic duplicity", and all that.

HOISINGTON.
From the Dispatch.
Hoisington is having a steady sub
stantial growth.
A. S. Riggs, of Usage City has rent
ed the Sylvester Wilson farm and has
moved his family onto the place.
We counted 4S wheat wagons on the
streets Tuesday at O'Clock. We be-
ieve there were many more in town
earlier in the day.
A number of Lacrosse gentlemen
have chartered company for the pur-
pose of manufacturing target traps and
targets. Mr.. Leasure is the patentee
of the trap to be manufactured.
The school board of the Hoisington
schools has elected as teachers for the
coming school year the following: Prin-
cipal, Prof. Commings; intermediate,
c. E. Johnson: primary, Mrs. Baldwin.
Cards are out announcing the mar.
riage of John H. Kerr and Miss Anna
Austin, of Clark, Nebraska, to take

ELLINwOOD.

From the Advocate
The rattle of wagons loaded with
wheat Is constant ON our streets now
days.
Harvest is bountiful and in conse-
quence thereof mortgages viii soon be
very scarce.
Wheat is coming in now in good ear
nest. 1t is no uncommon thing to see
eight or ten teams waiting at one ele-
vator for their turn to come to unload.
Miss Anna and Mr.. Hugo Meyer, of
Chicago, brother and sister of our gen.
ial hardware man, Oscar Meyer, are in
this city visiting the latter named gen.
tleman and family.
Ellinwood schools will open Monday,
September 9TH, with the following corps
of teachers: Prof. Bullock, principal;
Mrs. Bullock, Miss Lille Hutchinson
and Miss Mary McTaggart.
Hoisington is to have a new mill soon,
Great Bend is just getting ready to hang
out electric lights, and Ellinwood is
building large brick hotel. This would
seem to indicate that times are becom-
ing more prosperous in Barton county.
The Hoisington Dispatch last week
boasted of their bank paying out SIS, 600
for wheat in one week. That is good
business for one week. but it is nothing
compared to S6.aIe.o4 in a single day
which was paid out by the Citizens
bank, of this city, alone last Saturday.
We notice the peach trees of this city
are nearly all totally destroyed on
account of having been too weak to
support the fruit. Those having trees
not yet broken down should do some
thing to prevent their destruction, foI
it is easier to take care of the trees you
have than to raise new ones.
KoPPITz-WAGNER-Our genial night
watch, Mr.. Morris Koppitz. and Miss
Mary Wagner, daughter of John Wag-
ner. were united in the holy bonds ol
matrimony at the home of the brides
parents, about three miles north of this
city, Monday afternoon, August 23d.
Nearly everybody in the neighborhood
was invited, also a large number from
/ the town.
A little more rain now would give
the farmers chance to get right ahead
with their plowing. We are of the
opinion that great deal of the lant
needs plowing over badly, but we alss
know it to be a fact that ground fol
wheat can be plowed too often. Ex
perience has taught US that the bes
results have always been obtained b,
plowing about every other crop.

From the Banner.
John Toennis and family left for their
future home In Ukiah, California, last
evening.
The mellon cholic days have come.
4 whole load of unbroken packages was
on the streets Saturday.
The machinery for the new creamery
arrived Saturday, and the work will be
hurried along as fast as possible.
Mr.. and Mrs. Byers, who have resided
in this city for some time past, moved
last week onto their farm near Heizer.
Warner O'Blennis received a very
bad kick on the head Saturday morning
from a two-year-old colt. The wound
is not serious though very painful.
Quite a number of accidents to feed
ers of threshing machines are reported
this week, as many as three feeders to
one machine having lost finger each.
1t is also reported that a man named
Dolecheck, near Dubuque lost his hand.
F. Garretson, of near Odin, met with
a serious accident on Sunday evening,
by driving into an old well that had been
carlessly left open by Mr.. Chemach.
The well was about seventeen feet deep,
and horse, buggy and driver all went
to the bottom together. Both driver
and horse were seriously hurt, and it is
thought. Mr.. Garretson's injuries will
prove fatal.
John Drewes. living few miles north
of this place died Thursday last. Mr..
Drewes was seventy-three years of age
and died very suddenly, being well as
usual In the morning till about II
O'Clock, when he complained of feeling
slightly unwell. He refused to eat
dinner, saying he would lie down in the
shade until he felt better. After dinner
one of the family went to look after him
and to their surprise, found him in al
unconcious condition, from which he
never recovered.

If THE alliance, or third party. will
now take up prohibition in Kansas,
which the republican managers hope
they will do, the plans of the hypocrits
of the Humphrey stripe, who get drunk
in Colorado and preach prohibition in
Kansas, will carry out in excellent
shape. 1t would be interesting to know
just what the Beacon would Say on this
subject if it was not handicapped by
having number of anti prohibition
readers, which its editors don't wan,
to make mad.

Cheyenne township was not Sin

Neither Walnut nor Cleveland
townships were represented in the

Bro. McCauley will have to learn
to ''cut 'er short,' SO as to give other
statesmen a show.
BRO. Murphy, of Homestead, evi-
IDENTIFY forgot himself, and thought he
was in one of his old-time republican
conventions.
1.-THE scheme of Messrs. Brewer,
McTaggart and Jones, to nominate a
brother of Frank Strothman was pretty
successfully carried OUT" remarked an
east side delegate. Personally, we can
not say as to the originators of the
scheme.
For man who is opposed to any
irregularities and who wanted a
fair and unbiased expression of the
delegates, Bro. Jones deported himself
in manner that was indeed odd and
unlocked for. Making an electioneer.
ing speech in the middle of ballot is a
new departure-but in his case appar.
emily an agreeable one.
Members of the convention kindly
prepared a table and chairs for the &C.
commOdation of the newspaper fratern.
ity, which favor was accepted by
Messrs. Caraway, of the Register
Hobart of the Tribune, and the DEMO.
Graf editor. For our own part We
greatly appreciated the favor and ex.
tend sincere thanks for the same. We
attended the convention for the purpose
of giving fair and impartial report ol
the same, and our readers can judge a.
to whether we do so or not.
