Colonel James r. Hallowell of Wichi-
ia announces himself as a candidate for
congress from the big Seventh" Col
Onel Hallowell needs no introduction to
the Republican voters of this district.
He is thorough Kansan. His record
as soldier is proud one, his splendid
reputation as an able aid successful
lawyer is well known, and as a citizen
and neighbor. he is held in high esteem.
His ability and experience would enable
him to represent this district in congress
with credit to himself and honor to the
the state. His personal popularity placed
him in the lead of the head of the ticket
in the last congressional campaign by
more than $500 votes. Colonel Halo
well received in this district %, 491 votes
while Governor Humphrey received 90
$50. In Harper county, Colonel Halo
well received 9So votes, Governor
Humphrey 758 The Republican party
was defeated, but the man who led the
ticket by more than four thousand votes
is entitled to consideration in the next
Republican congressional convention in
this district. Colonel Hallowell can de-
feat Jerry Simpson in the next campaign
and redeem the honor of the big
Seventh"

The Sailor and HIS Pets.

Jack is fond of pets, and when at ses
is allowed to cultivate that fondness to
a certain extent. The most hard hearted
shipowner does not object to having ona
or two stray dogs or cats provided with
homes on his vessel. And Jack is very
grateful for this indulgence. 1t affords
him deep pleasure to hold III his loving
though rough embrace the innocent
creature who, either by cheerful wag
Of the tail or a responsive purr, assures
him that his attentions are appreciated,
and that the fact of his being lacking in
personal attractions is not taken into
consideration.
Jack loves the poor creature Just az
tenderly as if he were perfect. Tho
ships cat may be lean and uninviting in
appearance, but this does not prevent
Jack from petting it. Other pets are
sometimes kept on board ship It Is nos
unusual for seaInen on vessels returning
from tropical ports to have pet monkeys
or parrots. The captains wife, who has
her own way sometimes, turns her cabin
into an aviary. Single captains have
been known to keep pets on shipboard,
although, as a rule, they seem ashamed
to display any weakness of this descrip-
tion.-London Tit-Bits.

SOUND, VERY SOUND.
From the salina Journal.

FROM the SAUNA journal
1t is not at ell probable that the rail-
roads and the wholesale grocery trust of
the Missouri valley will give up the fight
because it has been defeated once more.
On the contrary it is likely that more
strenuous and determined effort will be
made to crush out the wholesale men of
the interior; but they have been taught
that the wholesale men Of the interior of
Kansas have n1ettle, and will stand up
and fight for their rights as long as there
is law and justice in the land. The re-
tail grocery men of Kansas should stand
by their neighbors more closely than
they do. They are trying to build up
magnificent state and they owe
1t to themselves to patronize the
men who are trying to get nearer to
them and at the same time furnish them
commodities at less rates than the trusts
and combines Of other states. If all the
wholesale grocery firms of central Kan
sas were to quit business, at once the re-
tail men would be thrown into a state of
trouble and vexation of spirit that would
make them long for the jobbers' return.
Every voter also has an interest in this
matter IN seeing to it that only tried and
trusted men are allowed to go to the
Legislature and make laws for the gov
eminent of commerce in the state. Our
laws which relate to commerce need
Strengthening and amending, and only
honest and capable men should be
allowed to do the work.

In sentencing James D. Fancher to
serve one day in the county Jail Judge
kittele of Chicago, few days ago, made
an interesting and remarkable address
about the duties Of family physicians.
Fancher is the man who attempted to
kill DIR. Sawyer for alleged familiarity
with his wife. Said the judge:
The party who acts as family physi-
clan should not take advantage of his
position and the confidence bestowed upon
him to betray the families upon whom he
attends. / do not believe that it is the
duty of a physician to be eternally calling
upon the wives of his patients when the
husbands are absent, or constantly send
ing flowers with the assurance that every
flower petal contains Kiss. As u private
citizen, hearing the evidence in this case,
might be led to exclaim: ''What a pity
the defendant was such ii poor shot!" In
some states the fact that criminal init
macy existed between the doctor and the
wife of the defendant would have been Il
complete justification if the defendant
had killed the doctor, but such is not the
law in this state.

WOMAN'S ELIGIBILITY.

According to the Christian Advocate
the official organ of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, the recent tabulated min.
isteriaI vote on the eligibility of women
to the General Conference resulted in an
affirmative majority of 48S. The total
vote cast was 1876. Said prominent
Methodist minister in Philadelphia re-
Gently:
"The ladies are still very far from OBJ
tanning their desires, however, as this
vote was only test of opinion. 1t was
taken during the meetings of the annual
conferences, which convene throughout
the country at two periods, the one-half
in the spring and the other in the fall.
Yet the majority in favor of the eligi-
bility of women has accomplished one
favorable result, as now the next gem
eral conference, which includes delegates
from the entire church, must take up
the question. The vote has been a very
close one, but 1t is claimed that, had it
meant anything more than a test of
opinion, it would have resulted differ
emily. This question will be discussed
eXhaustively at the general conference,
which will meet in Omaha next May yet
fear that even then no decision will be
reached. A great deal of heated discus
sion for and against the admission of fe-
male delegates will undoubtedly ensue,
but possibly no vote will be taken. The
bill is IN danger Of being laid upon the
table. However, the success of the
women is an interesting event, and also
a significant one.

AS TO PUBLIC ROADS.

The question of public roads is one
that never fails to become one of first
concern among the topics of public dis
cussion with the return of the season OF
mud and bad roads generally. How
best to secure and maintain good roads
has long been an economic puzzle. A
purely local question, it is one of public
concern, and there IS hardly meeting OF
state legislature that is no burdened
with bills on the subject.
A petition is being C rculated in Ohio
and Pennsylvania in favor of federal aid
for the construction of public roads.
The proposition is framed ON a colossal
scale, calling for an appropriation of
$500, GOO, 600 by congress for the con-
struction and repair of public roads, to
be issued at the rate of $4,000, 900 a
month and divided pro rata among the
several states. 1t is accompanied by a
statement showing the importance and
necessity of this work; that it will save
the people, and particularly the farmers.
millions of dollars annually for transport
tation; that it will further give employ
! ment to hundreds of thousands of people,
and to relieve any general depression
that may exist.
A few years ago proposition of this
kind would have been regarded as that
of a mailman, but it is no worse than
a hundred similar measures now before
congress, the subtreasury bill, for in
stance. The disposition to call on the
federal government whenever aid is
needed is growing greater, and tie advo-
Gates of federal appropriations for the
construction Of the public highways have
all the constitutional backing they may
need. II congress can give money for
their improvement and vote aid in lands
and bonds to the railroads, it can GER
tainly give them for the highways as
well. Their value and importance are
fully recognized. but when it comes to
the question of congress making the pro-
posed appropriation. or indeed any APP
preparation for the highways, it must be
frankly admitted that it is highly i'm
probable. 1t certainly will not be done
by the present congress, nor, we believe,
by any for years to come.
The obligations Of the federal
government have been greatly
extended in the last twenty years, and it
has agreed to give aid to purposes never
thought of before; but if congress ever
accepts responsibility for the roads, and
attempts their construction and main
tenance, it will swamp the national
treasury.
1t would seem that the county is just
beginning to realize the importance of
the improvement of the public roads,
though not the great cost it will entail,
for it fairly staggers the states them
selves. 1t would be much better to
arouse popular sentiment on this subject |
for the roads can be obtained by local !
taxation.
The public road question does not elicit |
the degree of concern in this portion of |
the country that it does in some others,
for the reason that with rare exceptions
of seasons of short duration our wagon
roads are fair to good, and it becomes of
interest only as 1t becomes one Of suffici
ent concern to call for action by the
tional government.
