ELLINWOOD.

From the Advocate.
1t was better than a gymnastic per-
formance in circus to see some of the
boys trying to ride bicycles this week.
Capt. Grant. the miller, shipped the
first car load of new wheat from this
city, last week. It is of an excellent
quality and grades one grade higher
than the wheat did last year and the
year before.
The board of Lakin township meet
last Tuesday to transact the necessary
business of the township. Bills to the
amount of about $500 were allowed
which still leaves balance of a little
over $500 in the treasury, A tax levy
of four mills On the dollar was issued
for general township purposes.
More than half dozen second hand
ed threshiHg outfits that were formerly
operated in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa
and the eastern part of this state have
been shipped to Barton county. In this
case straws show which way the thresh-
ing machines go.

Down in Harper county white rail-
road section men, who are generally
either democrats or peoples party men,
are being discharged and southern black
men put in their places. This is one
way the railroads have of helping to
elect the republican ticket. Farmers
are ''tumbling to the racket" and are
engaging the white men-who have
been there for years and are alone en-
titled to vote this fall-on the farms;

started overland on Tuesday for King
man and Barber counties.
The boys are plowing and burning
FIRE guards around their wheat and
taking every precaution to guard against
a fire.
Lots of new wheat coming into mar
ket. Haven't heard of any testing be-
low 90 or yielding less than 20 bushels
per acre.
The sweet girl from the country was
all smiles and undoubtedly the happiest
mortal out of jail in Great Bend on
Monday. How lavish she was of her
smiles as she rested in the arms of that
dear little neighbor boy-yes, right on
the street, too.
Charlie Gano will most likely take
the cake on wheat raising in this cor
ner this year. He marketed wheat this
week off of 100 acres of sod. The
average test was 634 pounds and the
yield 20 bushels to the acre. For sod
wheat the above will be hard to down.

RAILROAD men will not be inclined
to support Bruce Lynch or the ticket
he rams on for state treasurer, when
they learn he is one of the fellows who
took the place of a railroad engineer
who refused to work for starvation
wages during the strike of 1877. The
republican convention possibly expects
more support from the railroad owners
than they do from the employees, else
they would not have nominated Lynch
for state treasurer.

From the Banner.
Kansas corn is getting there with both
feet, and with one more good rain the
crop will be out of danger.
The first of this week, Mr.. Keller
threshed out forty-hve acres of wheat
on the Norris farm just north of town
that made an average of 333 bushels
to the acre.
The mason work on the new bank
building is about finished, and the car.
penter and plasterer are now at work.
When completed it will be the hand

ALL YOU sanguine republicans who
are confident that Harrison will be

who want good, live, newsy county
paper, with the privilege of paying for
it when Grover Cleveland is elected

page of the DEMOCRAT, and sign it,
and send or hand it in. You are the

THE voice of the people will be
heard this year; and democracy does
not fear the voice of the people. Demo
cracy means the supremacy of THE
PEOPLE; and when labor is awake to
it's interests; when the farmer and the
mechanic, the railroad laborer and the
shop man. take sufficient interest in
politics to vote for the furtherance of
his own interests, then will the teach
ings of the great democratic party be-
gin to show results; then will plutocracy
retire before an outraged nation and
cease to reign in arrogance.

Is it any wonder that the Country is
on the verge of moral, political and
financial ruin?'' While anarchy is pop
ular we cannot deny the Omaha declar-
alton. And the delegats to the Omaha
convention are the leaders in conspir-
acy to destroy the Union. Republicans
who are following such leadership will
do well to reflect. They have not been
educated in that way. They know bet
ter if they will Register.
PEOPLES party men will be tickled
half to death to learn that they are ''in
a conspiracy to destroy the Union" :"
Such old "conspirators" as L. N. Fits,
J. B. Fenno, M. n. Towers, James
Wins, Jim Purviance, Henry Fruit,
John Armstrong, M. W. Cobun, Geo.
Moses, Will Culver, A. Y. Mccormick,
and hundreds of others who used to be
in the republican band wagon. will be
pleased to know that Morg. has at last
tumbled onto what they are up to. By
the-way, we had not learned, before
Morg. told US, that 'anarchy is popu-
lar" If anarchy is popular, it is unfort-
| unate for the republican party that its
administration has made it possible for
anarchy to be popular. BAIL Caraway
knows that he never wrote mora con-
temptible, eroundless, senssless para
graph than the one quoted above; and
the time is not far distant when he will
wish he had cut off his right hand rather
than have written such falsehoods. A
fire way of standing up for Kansas %
when you charge some Of the most sem
sible, honorable and upright christian
gentlemen of Barton county with being
traitors, anarchists, conspiratcrs, etc

From the Blade,
Mrs. George A. Orr is visiting friends
in Cambridge City, Ind, and will be
gone about three weeks.
Mr.. Feaster says there is some wheat
in this part of the county that will aver
age 40 bushel to the acre.
The 6-year-old daughter of George
Bicknell, in Albion township, is reported
quite low with typhoid fever.
John Smell was found dead at his
home in Fairview township Tuesday
morning. He was about 70 years old
and had been quite feeble for some
time, although not bedfast until about
three weeks ago, since which time he has
been quite poorly. He resided on a
farm alone, but of late was frequently
visited by his neighbors. A neighbor
boy went to see him Monday evening
and cared for the old gentleman and
left him feeling much better, but on the
following morning upon going to the
house found him dead. He was buried
yesterday in the cemetery near Galatia.
He has no relatives in this country that
are known of, but has son and other
relatives in Ohio.

ILLINOIS is now assured to Cleveland
and Stevenson. Not single German
American remains upon the republican
ticket of the state. Up to the 18th inst.
it contained the name of GenI. w. G..
Kueffner of Belleville Ill, heading the
electoral ticket, but he has sent in his
declination to the republican state COM
mittee and gives his reasons FOR so do
ing. that the republican party can no
longer be trusted on the most import
ant school questions. Genl Kueffner
is one of the most honored Of the bril-
liant soldiers of Illinois and his action
speaks plainly the course which will be
pursued by the German voters of that
state. Illinois is no longer in the re-
publican column and will go on to vic
tory with Cleveland and Stevenson.

Is THERE a true democrat in this
country who delights to be pointed out
by the old granies of the republican
party as a man who Twill vote the
republican ticket" and twill not have
the peoples party poked down his
throat?" Such remark was made on
the streets of Great Bend last Wednes-
day by man whom we once heard say
he "Would vote for black dog on the
republican ticket before he would vote
for democrat" Is there democrat
who cannot see that, by voting with
the farmers of Kansas he is dealing the
'black dog" element of the republican
party death blow? and that the only
sentiment that actuates that element
in the republican party is one of fear
for the future of his party, and not of
love for straight democrats?" Re-
member all the mean things said of
democrats by the fire alarm republicans.
and then make up your mind that you
now have grand opportunity to play
even by assisting to lay them out. A
water elm club is within your reach;
grab it, and use it.

Robert G. IngersoU: 1.-The laugh of
a child will make the holiest day more
sacred still, Strike with hand of fire,
o, weird musician, thy harp strung
with Apollos golden hair; fill the vast
cathedral aisles with symphonies sweet
and dim, deft touching of the organ
keys; blow, bugler blow. until thy silver
notes do touch and kiss the moonlit
waves and charm the lovers wanderings
mid the vine clad hills. But know
your sweetest strains are discords all
compared with childhood's happy laugh
the laugh that fills the eyes with light
and every heart with joy. O., ripping
river of laughter, thou art the blessed
boundary line between beasts and men;
and every wayward wave of thine doth
down some fretful fiend of care. o
laughter, Tipped daughter of joy,
there are dimples enough in thy cheeks
to catch and hold and glorify all the
tears of grief.''

On MONDAY next the democrats of
Barton county will meet in convention
at Great Bend, to nominate a county
ticket and select delegates to the 7th
district congressional convention. The
season has been a very busy one, and
farmers have had but very little time
to think or talk politics, but Barton
county democrats seldom make the
mistake of nominating weak or incom-
petent men, and we believe they will
be the winner on election day.
The peoples party convention for the
county will be held on Saturday the
18th. 1t is called to place full ticket
in the field. In view of the fact that
the democrats of Kansas have seen fiji
to assist the peoples party in electing
their state nominees; and considering
the further fact that Jerry Simpson
will likely get the endorsement of dem
Gratis for congress in this district, the
peoples party convention of the 18th
ought to do nothing to 1niure the ticket
to be nominated on the ath.
Not only are the state officers and
the congressman at stake. but state

county are to be elected; and it is te
