They We're all sitting around in that
comfortable afterluncheon style that
every woman recognizes and appreci-
ates, and though conversation had here
tofore been of a desultory and decided
ly sleepy turn, it all at once took n
sudden vigorous squirt when Mrs. Young
Housekeeper broke forth with the re
mark: Housekeeping would be per-
fectly blissful if you could only do
away with the necessity for servants
or find a jewel that appeared to take

gave n sigh rs she added. THAT is
true; servants are the banc Of our
existence. In six weeks / have had as
many cooks, every one worse than the
last, until l am about discouraged. .
II have a good girl smiled the quiet
one with just a wee bit of triumph in
her tone, hut I never a make her

sin calmly meets my impatieuce with
the argument that if She were to hurry
what would she do when She had a'a-

IT WISH said the hostess, that

Will you allow me space IN your paper to
say a few words to the voters of GOodland:
At the caucus Friday night ticket was
nominated which everybody admits is
good one. Some of the fathers and mothers
of the town who do not wish to bring up
their children in a town where gambling,
liquor selling and kindred evils flourish, as
everybody knows they do here at present,
took hand in nominating his ticket. We
hear that here will be another caucus and
another ticket in the field, and we wish to
say to the better class of citizens that d good
way to decide which ticket you ought to
vote as to find out which one the gamblers,
whisky sellers, and toughs are supporting,
and then vote the other one We are very sure
they will not support the one nominated last
Friday-the Independent ticket, and if they
pretend to, it will be such a transparent
fraud that any intelligent person will see
through it at once. Yours for the enforce
ment of law. EVA NJ. MURPHY.

Editor REPUBLIC:
Before another week shall CLOSE the city
election will be thing of the past, and,
tn 3refere, wish to say a few words to the
public in general and to voters in particular.
The independently supported by the
members of the w. C. T. u. have put a
ticket in the field, and the "Citizen's Tickets
Is also flung to the breeze.
There is some very spirited feeling on the
side of the Independents" The ladies are
electioneering, and from reports 1 should
judge that they are using unfair methods to
further their ends. This idea of calling the
supporters of the "Citizen's ticket" toughs,
whisky sellers, gamblers, and worse, is, in
our mind, an outrage.
l attended the caucus of the "Independ-
ents," but could see No show of fairness, as
the slate was already made up and printed
| ballots used The dear ladies voting in solid
phalanXes and giving no choice to a vote.
This in itself shows how fair they are.
like to see fair play and the best side
win, hut such proceedings compeIs us to
abandon their side and join the other, al
though we are not a gambler, tough OIL
whisky seller or drinker, but just q COM
mon citizen, who wishes the best welfare OF
our beautiful city. who would be made to
appear as modern Sodom by the dear ladies

Miscellaneous.

R. E. Taylor has started an experiment
station' in Goodland. His first experiment
was to solder up some gasoline IN tin can,
with a string soaked in coal oil attached,
PLACED il in the yard, nd then "set Ter off. -
He says gasoline will explode. Look out
for more experiments.
The Brownies, who are at present making
the tour of England, says this of London.
If we little know
How soon town will stretch and grow.
If it is situated right
The trade of nations to invite.
It was thus with Goodland. Those who
were renters few years ago, now own or
are making payments on their home. Own
ing of homes will put the town in greater
state of prosperity than any thing else. for
nearly every American born citizen takes
delight in identifying his home.

Cif1zen,s Ticket.

There was large crowd at the caucus to
nominate city ticket on Wednesday. The

police judge were chosen by reclamation.

Il. Smith; for police judge, Fred Albee;
councilmen, A. G. Patrick, James Wymore,
A. WittelshOfer, j. j. Warmer and c. B.

The large attendance showed the interest
taken by the citizens in the city election.
Many of the audience were ladies and the
best of orr der was maintained. Mr.. Mont
gomery made a stirring speech and COM
mended the orderly condition prevailing in
the city of Goodland. He emphasized the
fact that this was not packed caucus with
printed tickets. The ball citing lasted about
an hour and the highest number of votes
cast were for Lon Patrick who got SO votes.
The ticket is a good one.

To the w. C. u.

Be We not weary in we'll doing. Surely
there is as much need of yeur labors today,
as there ever has been, for it is a stubborn
fact that you can only work today. That
your influence will reach far into the future,
No one can doubt.
The difficulties, and discouragements
which you must meet, seem, at time, to be
almost iLsurmountable.
H ow discouraged and sad it must make
you to hear and feel opposition in one of
your own sex. One woman in GOodland
was heard to say short time ago, that she
cared not how much whisky people drank,
for she had no boy to get drunk. 1t is not
too late for her or any one else to have a
drunkard for husband, and what of the in
nocent little daughter.
There is not as much danger for her to be-
come drunkard, yet she might, in the fu-
ture, marry man, who is one of our boys
of today, in whose system may he larking
the seeds of an awful appetite, Inherited
from tippling father.
Therefore 1 say, it is the duty of every
mother, be her children boys or girls, to
lend her influence to the great cause of tenn
perance.
L know not the exact condition to be COM
piled with in order to join these noble work
ers, hut know every mother and daughter
can deny themselves enough to obtain the
necessary amount to pay their limitation
fees and dues. l would suggest that the
W. G. 7. q. have publis he'd in their column
a synopsis of their objects and rules.
Some poor mothers heart must have bled.
On account Of some of the scenes that have
been enacted on our streets lately. What a
pity, after mother has spent the best yeaIt
of her life, trying to educate and bring Ut
her sons to the highest standard obtainable
to see him throw all this love and care aside
and become one of the brute creation? The
wickedness of cruelty to animals should b.
taught along with intemperancs, for it is al
| bad as vice. CREEDE.

From Another.

The day set apart for our city election is
almost here, great deal of earnest and in
teligent thought should be given to the do
ings of that day. A wide field is to be looked
over, for be it remembered the smallest
ocean wave reaches from shore to shore. 1t
is imperative that we have Il municipal ad-
ministration, with conscience enough, with
courage enough, with grace and grit enough
simply to enforce the laws and ordinances
that we have. To enforce them day and
night and every day in the week.

The New State.

Hon. A. B. Montgomery has a new
scheme Ola the brain. 1t is practically the
formation of new state, taking western
Kansas and Nebraska from the 100 principal
meridian west, and eastern Colorado from
the 104 principal meridian east. This would
make state $50 miles wide, east and west
and 45O north and south. Goodland would
then be nearly central and would get he
state capital. The capitals OF both Kansas
and Nebraska are too far east for the ac-
eommodation of the people, and eastern
Colorado is not in 1t with the populous part
of that state. If it was left to the vote of tn
population included in this area it would be
a go. But there are so many elements
whose consent would be required. We
doubt if it can be brought about.
On further inquiry it is proposed to take
slice of western Kansas along the east line
of Norton, Graham, Trego, Ness, Hodge
man, Ford and Clark counties, and about
the east line of Hitchcock county, Nebraska
to the north line of the state, and strip OF
Colorado to Limon, Colo, and of these
slices to form new state. The scheme is a
good one, and the best thing for the sections
included. A memorial to each of these state
legislatures and one to congress should be
at once started.

The old board of city councilmen includ-
ing the mayor as well, have given us good
econ >mical city government. They have
saved for the tax payers nearly $1,000 which
is large item in one years expenditure.
We believe in giving them due credit in this
matter. Somewhat over 81 400 more has
been collected for water rents this year than
last There has been $500 saving on mar
shall's salary, and about 800 on clerk and
city attorney hire. Besides this there are
other items of saving and the aggregate is
about 1900. The position of mayor and
councilmen is a thankless task, as they serve
without compensation, and when they do
well they should receive at least the "mead
of praise.n
