CONCERNING THE CANDIDATES.

A number of gentleman who expect
to be candidates before the Republic
can convention for the various county
offices. have been whispering their
ambition among their friends for some
time past. This week they have
decided to talk out loud, and their an
nouncements will be found accord
ingly in the proper corner ofthis paper.
FOR COUNTY CLERK
c. A. Fronk, of Salem township,
will present his name to county
convention this year for the first time
in his life. Mr.. Fronk was born in
Pennsylvania in 1874, and lived on
farm until the war broke out when he
enlisted as a private in Co. A, 9th Pa.
Cavalry. He was not mustered out
until July Is, 1865. Eight months of
his service was spent in prison at
Florence, S. c., he having been cap
tured in action. After the war he
attended the Juniata Normal School
a year, worked at the carpenters
trade awhile, then got married and
came out to Kansas, settling on the
farm he now occupies in 1870. Mr..
Fronk has taught school about two
years out of every three since he came
here, and has thus made a wide &C
quaintance over the country. His
personal popularity is shown by the
fact that he has twice been elected
trustee of Salem township in the face
of the heavy Democratic majority
that township always gives. With
the exception of his services as trus-
tee, Mr.. Fronk has never held office,
He is amply qualified to fill the office
of County Clerk and will make a
storing race.
James Wakefield, of Humboldt. is
another man who now appears for the
first time as a candidate for county
office. Mr.. Wakefield is a young
man, probably about So years of age,
and all of his life that counts for
much has been spent in Allen county.
He is well educated and has taught

Al. Whire in Hard Luck.

The Reno Gazette of the 9th says
Between II and l o'clock last night,
while w. G.. Cecil, the night clerk at
the Palace hotel, was in the restaurant
adjoining eating his midnight meal,
some one visited the bar-room and
took from the safe 5000 in sack be-
longing to the faro game and about
$500 in another sack belonging to the
hotel, together with lady's gold
watch and pair of diamond bracelets,
several other articles of jewelry,
locked both doors of the safe and sue
cessfully made an escape.
The robbery was not discovered I'M
til next morning, when Al. White,
the proprietor, went to the safe to get
some change. The safe is Macneal
& Urban (Cincinnati) manufacture,
with an outer and inner door. Mr..
Cecil, when he went into the restau-
ant, locked the bar-room door and
partially turned on the combination
to the safe.
The robber, whoever he was, was
undoubtedly familiar with the premi-
ses and had keys to the bar-room and
the inner door of the safe, for after
committing the robbery he locked the
inner safe door, shut and partially
turned on the combination of the outer
door and locked the bar-room before
sliding out into the night.
Mr.. Cecil says he was not gone but
very few minutes, and when he re-
turned to his watch he stayed there
until 5 o'clock in the morning, SO the
robbery must have been committed
between II and l o'clock, while he
was eating his supper.
The loss is particularly heavy one
on Mr.. White, who was robbed about
two years ago of $500 or $500 from
his faro game. There is no clue to
the robber, and the officers are at
their wits end to account for the slick
job
James Flanagan had 5000 in the
safe until last night, when he took
: some faro tools out and also the
money, which he deposited in the safe
of Abraham Bros. Mr.. Flanagan was
congratulating himself on his good
luck this morning.
