AS AN eye witness of the men assem-
bled in the ''kickers" convention, we
will take an oath that there were but
2G6 men upon the floor of representative
hall when the proceedings were opened,
and that there were at 10 time more
than 250 So o-called delegates participat-
ing in the sideshow to republicanism.
And if any democrat doubts the state
ment that the Santa Fe road furnished
passes to the delegates there assembled
let him ask Jim Clark, John .Bement,
Geo. Kincaid, ID. G. Luse or DR.. Koch;
and when you ask about the passes,
also ask whether it is good democratic
principles TO aid and abet the railroad
corporations in the effort to defeat men
pledged to enact legislation that will
be to the benefit of the farmer?

resort for our boys and girls this winter.
Clafin has an elevator capacity of
between twenty-five and thirty thous-
and bushels, and yet there is so much
wheat coming to town, as to make it
impossible for our grain dealers to han
die it. A number of farmers had to
borrow wagons last week in which to
return home, their wagons being full of
wheat which they were unable to un-
load.

A great deal of care should be taken

The Penalty of Success.

Did you ever see the wife of a sue.
cessful man?' | am tempted to ask
when some one points out to me the
shining lights of these two friends
of mine. Not that the men are brutal,
ill-tempered, or exceptionally irritable;
rather the reverse is true of them; they
are amiable enough. Yet their un-
conquerabe self-absorption has made
them anything but boon companions.
Their hours of labor or of research are
prolonged unreasonably, with inter-
yals of moodiuess, sometimes of utter
silence The bubble they follow is
ever dancing before their eyes; the
fury of pursuit is all-in-all. and life
apart from that has lost its charm.
Their wives share in their triumphs,
Of course: and why should they COM
pIain2 They do not. Like the Dutch
mans wife upon her deatbbed. they
are resigned because they have TO be.
