TRICKS OF LlNEMEN.

How They String Wires Where People
Don't Want Them.
On the roof of lofty building in the
business district Two brawny linemen
were toiling among the network of
wires fastened to high series of cross
arms. One bent his ear close to tiny
telegraph instrument connected with
wire, while the other, under his direc-
ton, busily twisted two wires together.
"Hold on" cried the man listening at
the instrument. ''They want to meas
ure resistance. Well have to wait
awhile
The two descended, and behind a
huge chimney lit their pipes Asked
goung man, who had been watching
them with interest:
Suppose you wanted 10 striag q wire
from this to that building opposite, how
would you do it?'
That's against the law, young man."
responded the taller of the two line
men 'ffelegraph companies never

Young man, if ] wanted to carry a
wire across the street from here I'd let
you go down on the sidewalk and

I'd get the wire over and you'd never

that I've known men to perform the

How to Correct Round shoulders.

Since very many people have allowed
themselves to acquire this deformity,
chiefly through bad sitting positions,
the following brief and excellent gym
nastics, designed to strengthen the
shoulder-b muscles, will be appre-
ciated: Here is very excellent means
of strengthening the shoulder blade
muscles: Raise tue hands to the front
of the chest, touching two or three
inches below the chin; palms joined;
shoulders high; bend the arms at the
elbow to q right angle, turning the
forearm so that the palms are facing,
keeping the elbows at the height of the
shoulder, and the arms from the elbow
to the shoulder in line with each other.
Now rotate the arms so that the fore
arm will be raised from horizontal to
vertical position. Keep the head erect
and the chin well drawn in during the
exercise. repeating the rotation from
four to twelve times. Health.

Martin opposed the consolidation plan
and asked that further time be given
for a rehearing.
whole subject was discussed some days
ago. The senator held out against the
plan of consolidation, stating that it
was matter that concerned many of
the towns and it had developed some
thing like bitter feeling on the part
of many concerned in the removal To
this the president replied that the law
was such that he could not do other
wise than make the. consolidation
That being the law, he was forced to
approve the order as it had reached
him from the interior
About this time Martin suggested
that he did not appear so thoroughly in
favor of enforcing the Chinese exclu-
sion act or some other laws that do
not fit the conscience of the executive.
This made no difference and the order
was approved.
AS outlined in these dispatches at
the time, the order provides for the
locating of the Garden City and Larn-
ed Office at Dodge City, the locating of
the Oberlin and Kirwin offices at
Colby; also the removal of the Salina
Office to Topeka. The removal of re-
cords will be made at once, just as
soon as the department can comply
with the order. 1t is thought that by
Oct. the work of removing all records
will be completed. This order threat
ems the slate for land Office appointees
constructed some time ago. It will
precipitate another free-for-an fight.

The Republicans held their conven-
ton last Saturday at IL o'clock. w. K.
Brown was chosen temporary chairman
and G. G. Perdieu temporary secretary.
The usual committees were appointed,
and the convention adjourned for din
ner, and to allow the committees time
to report.
They re-convened at the court house
at 2oclock, to hear the reports of com
mittees. There was little sparring
over the report of the committee on
rules-and order of business-ot
general harmony prevailed.
f. A. Albee was made permanent
chairman and G. @. Perdieu permanent
secretary. Chairman Albee made a
stirring speech from the Republican
party standpoint. E. S. Knight read the
resolutions which declared for the Re
publican platforms, state and national
of 1892, and condemned Governor Lew
cling and the Populist state admins
tration. This was to be expected, of
course. We were reminded of the Re
publican national platform of 1888, on
which Harrison was elected, which
reads as follows: SSIHhe Republican
party is in favor of the use of both gold
and silver as money, and condemns the
policy of the Democratic administra-
ton in it's efforts to demonetize silver. ("
The resolutions did not touch or men
ton free coinage-the great issue now
before the American people.
The following ticket was put in NOM
nation: For sheriff, B. E. Coffin; for
clerk, II. S. Percival; for treasurer, T..
p. Leonard; for register, E. E. Donnel-
ly, for coroner, DR.. Maiken; for survey
district, r. f. Latimer. p. S. Darling,
the old soldier candidate for register,
vwas left out in the cold as usual. He is
both deserving and needs the income
of the Office, and we were sorry, per-
sonally, to see him slid off on the greaS-
ed plank of too many town nomina-
tionsn
There is not an old soldier on their
ticket but once. r. Shook. Well, so
goes the world. Let US see whether the
Populist convention will ignore the SOL
der element of their party in the same
fashion. The. candidates on the Re-
publican ticket are all exceptionally
good men, and nothing can be said
personally, against them. We make
this remark only, that they are sup
porters of the Republican machine,
which is run in the interests of Wall
street and the corporate monopolieS of
the country which, are grinding the
faces of the poor. Only Ii Republicans
in the house of representatives voted
against the repeal of the Sherman law,
and of these only three were east of the
Missouri river. IF the people wish to
support eastern combinations of CAPT
tai that are crushing and destroying
western industries, why. vote the Re-
publican ticket-otherwise not. This
is the issue before the people: Stree
coinage Is to /.

Warden Chase, of the Kansas peni-
Tertiary says that the number of prisi-
oners is rapidly decreasing. He went
into the Office on May 1 and the numb
er is 100 less than at that time and is
falling off at the rate of 40 a month
This is lower than it has been in many
years. He does not think there is any
special reason for this He Says that
the penitentiary is now turning out
$4,000 bushels of coal a month, which
is the full capacity of the mine.
The Milwaukee Journal has learned
of a Kansas woman who has been elect
ed police judge of her city, and who has
adopted novel solution of the tramp
problem. The first tramp who was
brought before her for judgment was
sentenced to two baths day for 10 days
andto hard labor on the stone pile, with
the order that he should be fed if he
worked and starved if he shirked.
The statement no doubt had it's origin
in the mind of the Imaginative journal
list, but its effect upon the genius tramp

a Kansas town is whether the police
Judge is a man or woman.
Burlington was considerably stirred
up over the separation of Mr. and Mrs.
Mann. It is not known exactly what
caused the trouble. Rumor has it that
there is another woman in the case, if
this be true the details had, perhaps,
better remain in the dark, where they
belong, for two reasons First, out of
respect for the feelings of Mrs. Mann
and her family. Second, out of re-
spect ~ to the prevailing custom in
this county in hushing up such mat
tiers. We are also informed that money
matters had something to do with the
trouble. Mrs. Mann's father claims he
advanced money at various times am
bunting in all to S1,650 OF SI,800. In
the settlement Thursday he received in
payment notes amounting to about
81 200, of which amount something like
500 was secured by real estate. Mrs
Mann left Friday night for Goodland
accompanied by her father and broth
er-in-law, George Teagarden, one of
Goodland's prominent merchants. Mrs.
Mann has many friends in Burlington
who will miss her very much. The af-
fair is generally regretted by the
friends of both Mr.. and Mrs. Mann
