Central Committee Meeting.

The democratic central committee Of
Barton county met at the Grand Cen
trail hotel, Saturday, March 18th.
The committee empowered the ex-
ecutive committee to fill vacancies
where the democrats of the several
townships neglect to select their COM
mitteemen.
Resolutions of endorsement were
given Mr.. Joe WEIGH for postmaster at
Clahin, Will E. Stoke for postmaster at
Great Bend, Hon. c. F. Diffenbacher.
Col. Thomas Moonlight; Hon. Chauncy
Flora, and Miss Jennie Strobel.
In the matter of the Hoisington and
Pawnee Rock postoffices no endorse
ments were made.
The following resolution was adopted
by a unanimous vote:
REsoLvED-That it is the sense of
this committee, that, in-as-much as the
populists of Kansas, who gained the
state administration by reason of dem
ocratic votes in 1892, have not given,
nor have they been asked to give, dem
ocrats recognition in the matter of state
appointments, we deem it impolitic and
uncalled for. for members of the peoples
party to ask for Federal appointment
under democratic administrati ton; and
we earnestly protest against any such
appointments being made.
The democrats of Union. and South
Bend townships, and of Washburn
precinct are earnestly requested to
select members of the committee from
their townships, and report name to the
secretary.
The committee adjourned, subject to
call of the chairman.
FRED ZUTAvERN, Chairman.
WILL E. STOKE, Secretary.

WELL, it does seem as though there
might be some interest taken in the
city election this spring. For the last
two days hacks have been out hauling
in women to register. We asked one
man who seemed to be running the
women in" which side he was working
for-the license or the anti-Iicense; but
all he SAID was to wink the other eye"
The republican machine has called for
ward primaries to be held next Tues
day, the 28th, and a convention to be
held on Friday the 3lst. The indica-
tions are that there will not be perfect
ly smooth sailing for the would-be boss
es in that convention. and that its out
come is very uncertain. 1t may be
that our people will see some way yet
to place in the field and elect mayor
and other officers who will look to the
interests of the city instead of to the
interest of a select set, or sect, of would
be saints. A couple of weeks more
will tell the tale. In the meantime we
would suggest that all men and women
who care anything for the success of
our city see that they get registered be-
fore tomorrow Friday night, when the
registration books will be closed. The
political managers will see that all the
voters they can CONTROL will be regis
tered, and the only way for the masses
of conservative people to have say in
the city Cover nment is to also get reg
istered, and on election day turn out
and vote.

Mrs. e. NJ. Smith.

DIED-At her he ,me in this city, March
Io, 1893, at z:45 a. M, MRS. SARAH
SMITH, wife of c. M. Smith, in her
SYST year.
Mrs. G.. NJ Smith was born Oct. 8,
1888. in Asht abula county, Ohio, her
maiden nam's being Sarah Morris.
She was maj ried to Mr. G. NJ Smith,
who survives her, April 10, 1868, and
removed with him to Great Bend in
1878, they having made this their
home ever since. Five children were
born to them, Elva. now Mrs. DIR.
F. L'ghtfoot, Frank, Ted and Lila
all OF whom are living here except
Frank who is now located in business
at Pueblo, Colorado. A il the children
were present when tie mother passed
from mortal suffering to the bright
world beyond.
Mrs. Smith was loving, Jealous
wife and mother and counted as her
friends all of the people of this city
and vicinity. Funeral services were
held at the family residence Monday,
March 20, being conducted by Rev.
w. 81. Hills of the Presbyterian
church, of which church she was
member.
Another mother thus has passed
away and left to sorrowing ones an
aching void that only mothers love
can fill; r.o other hands will ever be so
quick to sooth in time of ills; no other
eyes will watch so faithfully beside the
bed of pain as did the never firing
eyes of mother. If it be 30, that in a
brighter world you hope to meet
again the loved one gone, be careful
that you emulate the good you know
she did in life and earn the just reward
you know she won when passing out
of life and into the unknown.

Get Your Exhibit Ready.

Get Your Exhibit Ready.
Hoislngton, Kas., March Is, 1898.
An address to the people of the state
of Kansas, and especially to the people
of the 7th Congressional District:
For the last twelve months We have
talked but little else than politics, and
the time will soon come when political
issues and political discussions will be
revived again, but in the meantime let
US turn our attention to something that
will do more to bring the great agri-
cultural state of Kansas to the front
than all the political battles that have
ever been. fought.on her soil.
The great Worlds Columbian Ex-
position will soon open in Chicago. All
parts of the world will meet there in
friendly competition. Kansas will be
there, and there to win, why? Because
her people have the energy and push to
do it. We already have splendid
collection on hand and want to increase
the exhibits as rapidly as possible.
The old board that have just transfer
red their property and exhibits to the
new board so far as they went, did their
work well, which entities them to the
lasting gratitude of all our people.
The new board is composed principally
of farmers, practical farmers, and,
giving all other interests all the encOur-
agement possible, we propose to make
the agricultural interests of Kansas a
speciality.
The farmers have always been found
standing up for Kansas" To make
that department in our state exhibit
tue success we desire, it will be neces-
sary for you to forward to the board
of managers at Topeka, the very best
specimens obtainable of the products
of our soil. Too much care cannot be
used in selecting, cleaning, and pre-
pairing your samples. Corn should be
sent in the ear as much as possible,
we'll packed in barrels and boxes. All
packages should be marked G. o. d.
the board will pay freight charges when
delivered. Address all communica-
tons to M. w. Cobun, Pres. Kansas
Board of managers, Topeka, Kansas.

that, on account of the thing worn on

small percentage of the Bermuda

happens, indeed, that the so-called

THE TUCKER BILL.

With the single exception of the
silver bill, no other measure which
has engaged the attention of Congress
during the present session has proven
Of such universal interest to the
people of the nation, north and south,
as has the Tucker election bill, pro-
viding for a repeal Of all exist
ing federal election laws.
For days past the eyes of the nation
have been turned upon congress, not
ing with eager interest every move
made by that body in regard to this
measure; and now comes the pleasing
announcement, from the Capital City,
that the Tucker bill has been passed,
and that too by nearly one hundred
majority, the vote standing, on final
roll call, 200 to 101, in favor Of it's
passage, on a strict party vote, with
lines plainly and emphatically drawn.
Senator Hill, of New York, who is
the author of q similar bill in the
Senate, was on the floor while the
vote was being taken. On the ad-
ioumment jubilant demonstration
was made by the Democrats on the
result of the vote. The Republicans
finding that the Democrats had their
own quorum present were stopped
from filbustering by the ironclad
order, under which the house was
operating, beyond demanding an aye
and nay vote on the Burrows and
Lacey amendments.

WAR PAINT VISIBLE.

1t is upon the Senate chamber of
the United states that all eyes are now
turned, with one accord, and each
movement of that body is narrowly
and curiously scanned by all classes.
The last days session Of that body
was watched with peculiar interest, as,
more than once, it became evident
that its members were at last appear
ing in martial array and both war
paint and feathers were likely to be
donned at any moment. The morn
ing session was opened up by Mr..
Wolcott, who seems to be put for
ward when the anti-repeal men de-
sire to irritate the other side. Mr..
Wolcott opened up with short
speech, in which he attacked the
President and commented on the in
CONSTANT course of Mr.. Voorhees,
The latter gentleman resented the re-
marks of Mr.. Wolcott and showed con-
siderable feeling.
1t was evident to everybody that
the whole scheme was to get Mr. Voor-
hecs mad. Mr.. Teller also Clipped in
and quoted an interview with Mr..
Voorhees,, in which the Indiana man
said he would not agree to repeal of
the Sherman law unless some silver
legislation accompanied it. He said
that he had always admired Mr.. Voor-
hees and had been one of his follow
ers, but he would never follow him
again, because he could not rely on his
constituency an the motives which
made Mr.. VOORHEES, change might not
be sufficient to change hlm.
This was an intimation that he
changed his views for patronage. Mr..
Morgan of Alabama interrupted Mr..
Voorhees, with a question and the
Indiana man turned on him pretty
savagely. Mr. Mcpherson Of New
Jersy offered to answer and Mr. Nor
gan snapped him up. Altogether it
was fine (9 display of conduct, and
courtesy in that body the MEM
of which daily pride themselves on
their dignity and urbanity.
This being the day upon which Mr..
Voorhees, will move for continuous
session it will, IN all probability,proye
the wormest and most interesting one
of the entire extra session.
