Jerry at HoiSington.

Tuesday was the big peoples party
day at Hoisington. About 100 people
took the Mo. p. special anu went over
from this city together with the Heller
and South Bend bands. AS soon as
the special arrived. the procession
formed north of town and paraded the
streets.
In company with Ira II. Clark Of the
Dispatch, and L. F. Johnson, the writer
took a position on stairway and
counted the voters and teams in the
procession All three agreed on the
number of teams, the count giving So,
though there were doubtless more, as
the procession was broken up for dinner
before all had passed the corner where
we were stationed. AS to the voters,
Mr.. Clark counted 12S and our count
was 1872, and we agreed to compromise
and say there were 145 voters in the
procession. Our judgment is there
were more than double that many peo-
Piles party voters on the streets at the
time of the parade.
A large number of seats had been
prepared, and all were filled after
dinner to hear the speaking, while many
stood up around the outside. Jerry
had spoken on the afternoon and even
ing before, and was not in good voice,
SO he did not speak long. He took oc-
casion to point out. som of the glaring
falsehoods perpetrated by the republic
can press of the state, mentioning by
name some of the authors thereof. At
this Morg. is said to have ''put his foot
in ito by getting mad and talking fight
like a ward hummer.
r. S. Osborne, candidate for secre-
tary Of state, delivered an able address,
and proved himself capable man for
the position.

talk about passes. People who live in glass houses
should be awful careful how they fling dornicks
around And to not seeking for Office, if there
is farmer in Barton county who keeps up with
the times that does not know that Wash has been
STANDING CANDIDATE for the past eight years, let
him arise and speak. After careful reading the
only vestige of truth that we end in Washs
letter is that he is Vase Stewards and hrs case OF
sour grapes on hand, and borrows the Register
and must give it credit for puncturing his recent
ambition and from which his last statement forever
bars him. -
And when two years more are added
to ''the past eight years" Mcrg. at last
succombs to the persistent efforts OF his
s'farmer" friend ssWash''-and urges
upon the people of Barton county to
send him to the legislature.
Morg., dear, are you not afraid that
Col. Stewards will ''play the Hessian
act" or load up with ''passes." or "for
pay undertake something that is not
conclusive to the interests of the people?
You have given, at some length. your
opinion of the man-it is YOUR opinion,
mind-and you have never taken back
your statements therein made.
Here, too, is your opinion of Hon.
NV. Cobun, written after Mr.. Cobun
was known to be elected, and published
under the head of "Our officers, In the
Register of Nov. IL, 1890:
an, w. Cobun, our representative elect SO far as
our knowledge extends is capable farmer as the
county could elect to that Office. We believe that
he will do what he believes to be his duty. We
opposed his election because he did not represent
the views and ideas that we favor"
There are many other paragraphs N
the Register of a year or two ago that
assist in showing the inconsistency, the
falsity, the demagogism and unrelia-
bility of its editor, but we have not
space to reproduce them this week.
Ingalls, speech in favor of free coinage
of silver, made in the senate Jan. IA,
1891, and published in full in the Reg
lister of Jan. 22d; the speech of Frank
Doster, the Dodge City platform OF
1890, and various other articles en-
dorsed and praised by the Register; all
bear witness that for consumate ASSN
ninity, deliberate deception and studied
Reputation of all that is to the interest
of Kansas people, Caraway, in his bit

Columbian Day.


The 40Oth anniversary of the land
ing of Columbus on American soil was
duly celebrated in this city. last Fri
day. In the forenoon appropriate
exercises were held in all the school
grounds, and in the Catholic church.
In the evening, through the untiring
efforts of Father g. M. Kelley, more
elaborate celebration was enjoyed at
the Catholic church. The building
and grounds were handsomely deco
rated with bunting, flags, Chinese
lanterns and flowers.
The inside program consisted of,
first, selection by the Great Bend
band, followed by "America," sang b,
the entire audience-and the commdi-
Gus church was packed full. Prof.
Daum, principle of the city schools
gave short address, which was fol-
lowed by more singing of national airs,
and band music. Then came the most
pleasing event of the evening, patri.
otto address by Father Kelley.
The audience then retired outside
to the handsome grounds of the church
and witnessed an elaborate display of
fireworks, while the band filled the
evening air with most delightful music
The Columbian Day exercises will
long be remembered by everyone in
Great Bend.

The DEMOCRATS report Of the Long
meetig last Saturday was fair (for the
DEMoCRAT). Mr.. Stoke, however,
made serious omission; he failed to
mention the % Long badges which
was the total CD number worn that
day. 1t is surprising that Mr.. Stoke,
who is such an accurate Counter"
should leave out such an important
item.-Tribune.
Since the Commodore has acknowl.
edged, for once, that the DEMOCRAT
deals fairly by all parties we will
cheefully correct the "omission," and
state that there WERE actually %
Long badges worn on Longs big CD
day. Nay, more. We honestly believe
there were 24-possibly 25-benighted
individuals at the Long meeting
adorned with those little emblems of
misplaced confidence called Long
badges. Now honor bright, Commo-
dore, have not we done the magnani-
nous?

Accidentally Shot.

Friday forenoon Will Vincent, lad
about II years old, the youngest son
of W. S. Vincent of Hoisington, and
formerly of this city, was out hunting
with four other boys about his age.
When near the place of D. W.
Humphrey Will and one other boy
were in the vehicle, two-seated rig,
when Will told the other hoy he
would take care of his gun for him.
The gun, which was at full cock, was
handed back and Will set it down in
front of him with the muzzle near his
breast. 1t is supposed the jolting of
the wagon knocked the gun against
something, when it was discharged,
the shot striking the lad just below the
left nipple and killing him instantly.
Mr.. Humphrey, who was drilling
wheat near by heard the shot and saw
something was wrong and ran over to
the wagon. but young Vincent was
dead before he got there, dying with
out a word
1t is a sad death, as the boy was said
to be the mainstaY and pride of his
aged parents. The remains were
inferred in the Great Bend cemetery
on Sunday. The heartfelt sympathy
of many friends both here and in
Hoisington is extended to the bereaved
parents.
