We are Proud of All of Them,

The World has great respect for F.
B. Dawes personally but is sorry that he
still thinks it necessary to fight the
rebels. He is as far out of the way as ] g.
R. Burton. 1t is onlya difference in ex-
tremes.-Lawrence World.
Bless you, child, don't get scared.
Dawes wouldn't hurt kitten. He is
one of the mildest men on earth natur-
ally and it is chiefly because he has a
deep bass voice and strong lungs that he
is able to rip the sanguinary undergar-
ments to shreds and sew it up without
once letting the applause die away. 1t
is also the reason that he gets called
Colonel in the papers, which shows
that virtue is not exclusively it's own re-
ward. Dawes is a mighty good fellow.
You ought to go up to Clay Center and
get acquainted with him.-Abilene Re-
f1ector.
Hold on, boys. If there is big
hearted, clearbrained and unselfish
friend, citizen and republican, it is F. B.
Dawes. He is a friend of Burton's and
so we all are, and Kansas is proud OF
her splendid young men who will rank
with the best in any state.-Capital.
The F. B. Dawes referred to above will
be the republican orator in Wa-Keeney
on September End. This will be repub-
lican day and nobody can afford to stay
away. Remember that all are invited
and special invitation is extended to
the ladies'.

rested his weary old bones on our Office

"Mawn'in Boss, rs eighty-six var old

like memory of the long ago-a breath

From the ELLIS Review-Headlight

Only one mail day. 1t makes one
feel almost as though he was out of the
world.
George Cross, of Wa-Keeney, register
of deeds of Trego county, was in town
on Monday.
A. w. Nutz is now superintendent at
the telegraph Office succeeding F. E.
Cole resigned. Mr.. Nutz has been sta
toned at Collyer for several years and
last fall was elected district clerk of
Trego county on the fusion ticket.
Several men were let out at the shops
last Friday. Some of the men have
worked here several years and their
discharge is greatly regretted. 1t hardly
seems possible that any further cut
will be made, though there is no telling
what may happen these hard times.
An exchange says that somebody saws
that there is said to be one editor in
heaven. How he got there is not posi-
lively known, but it is conjectured that
he passed himself off for minister and
stepped in unexpectedly. When the
dodge was discovered they searched
the realms of felicity in all their
length and breadth for a LAWYER
to draw up the necessary papers for his
ejectment, but they couldn't find one,
and of course he held the fort.

central Kansas near the point of desti-
nation as possible to stations located in
your county. The seed wheat In ques-
ton, in order to obtain the benefit of
free rate, must be billed to the county
commissioners themselves at the differ
ent railroad points in the county, they
in turn to give the farmers or parties to
whom the wheat is to go, a certificate
setting forth the facts that the seed
wheat in question is to be used for the
purpose designated and none other;
these certificates in turn to be presented
to our freight agents at the several sta
tions who will take up the certificates,
and cancel our freight charges accord
ingly. The most easterly point from
which the seed wheat is to be drawn is
placed at Manhattan, Kansas, includ-
ing the branches. We shall depend
upon you, as the duly authorized repre-
sentative of the state, to see that this
seed grain is handled properly, and that
none of it is used in a commercial way.
No allowance will be made on any ship
ments billed to others than the county
commissioners. I should be pleased to
have an acknowledgment of this COM
munication, with your understanding"
The Board of Railroad Commissioners
by their secretary also wrote County
Clerk Hoar concerning the seed wheat
question as follows:
''At the earnest solicitation of several
of the western counties, his Excellency
the Governor, has called upon the
Board of Railroad Commissioners, and
placed in their hands the responsible
duty of soliciting and distributing any
contributions that may be made, for the
relief of the western farmers. We send
you by to-day's mail, a number of blanks
to be distributed among the several
township trustees of your county, to be
filed out by them and returned to you
within ten days, showing those that are
in actual need of assistance in procuring
seed grain in each township. The Board
has decided to call upon the county
commissioners in the several counties to
act as distributing agents for them, and
they will forward to them series OF
numbered receipts, one of which must
be taken from each person receiving
grain and the receipts so taken must be
forwarded to this Office each day. Please
forward to us the names of the members
of your board, that we may notify them Of
ficially of the action taken by this board
This board will only handle contribu-
tions such as are to be given to the peo-
pie free. Parties desiring to buy can do
SO through their county commissioners,
or any other source that is desirable. "

had possession. She picturesquely de-
scribed the entrance into the hall Of the
Douglass house when they had broken
in the door. 'They sprang into the
room like demons" said Mrs. Rich,
"and once inside they acted like mani
acs. A few populists were inside. and
Immediately they were angry cries from
the Douglass crowd of Kill them, Kick
them out The Juror made by their
crazy shouts aud cheers could be equal
led only by herd of thousand wild,
maddened Texas steers stampeded In
terrible storm" Then the orator stopped
a moment for breath, and went on with
vivid description OF the chaplain's
prayer. SIN the midst of the widest
CONSERVATION, said Mrs. Rich, "a man
pretending to be a preacher took the
stand and assuming the attitude of pray
er looked up to the ceiling; only he and
God knows what he said, but it didn't
take long to say it. Then the members
and the red badged fellows cursed and
swore and the remainder of the day they
were running about and shouting like
wild men," Mrs. Rich then gave the
court startling recital of the monstrous
indignities heaped upon her by the re-
publican members and sergeant-at-arms
who were determined that she should
leave the hall. They walked into the
room where she was stationed, and with
all kinds of guns and revolvers, and
threats and curses they attempted to
put her out, but she held her position
like Barbara Fritchie of old, told them
to shoot if they dared, or words to that
effect, and never surrendered. This was
the most thrilling and at the same time
truly touching feature of the address and
left no doubt in the minds of anyone
that Mrs. Rich was the heroine of the
day. She told how Brother HERMAN,
Brother s. M. Scott, Brother Burdick
and other alliance friends had been
rudely elected from the room. She said
Mrs. Johns was present when this was
done and exclaimed, "that's right: kick
the dirty dogs out; they ought to have
been kicked out long ago."
Mrs. Rich's grafton was the feature OF
the day. Her statements were so ex-
travagant and reckless and her manner
of delivery so theatrical that even the
members of the court had difficulty in
concealing their smiles. When she had
concluded her speech, Judge Doster
asked the opposing counsel if they de-
sired to cross-examine her. eve would
not mar that picture for the world, +" re-

-Superintendent Peacock introduc,

Superintendent Peacock introduced
Prof. 'Olin last Tuesday evening and
among other things said that he ''be-
lieved it was the first time any of the
faculty of our state institutions had
favored the Trego County Normal with
visit" In referring to this Prof. Olin
said that "the only reason we have not
not been here before was because we had
not been invited" We might use this
statement for a text, but will refrain
and only say that if our schools are not
brought in the front ranks within year
or two it will not be on account of any
lack of diligence and energy on the part
of our county superintendent. We be-
lieve he has done as much hard work
intelligent work too-as was ever done
before by any one who has filed that
office in the county. If there is any
thing in which we are all interested it is
the success of our public schools, and we
think the time has gone by in this coun-
ty when the Office of county superin-
tendent can be held by those whose only
ambition and ability seems to be in the
direction of drawing salaries, to the con-
sequent and certain decentralization OF
school interests.

Trego county has once more made It's

ane the occasion being the court martial

the Capital:
The first witness placed on the stand

more eloquent even than her illustrious
husband could have spoken OF the gen
eral cussedness of the republican party.
She took a seat on the witness stand

efusion which is not so very far from
the truth: ''Now the house fly in the

fearful thanks, the delicate allusion to
the press of Wa-Keeney contained in the
resolution presented by the committee

their extreme rarity. We assure you

When the Mills Shut Down.

A friend called our attention this
week to some poetry, which we publish
for the benefit of those misguided repub-
licans who assisted the democrats in the
late election, by voting the populist
ticket. Those republicans who were
possessed with feverish desire to "have
a change" now have, no doubt, all the
change they want. The violent contrast
of the four years of Harrison's reign,
years in which the busy hum of industry
was heard through the length and
breadth of the land, when every wheel
was turning-with the present times is
likely to make them think that changes
are not always conducive to prosperity.
so, twas glorious last November when
the victors marched away
With red fire, drums and banners in
magnificent array!
How their eyes with rapture sparkled,
how each loyal heart grew warm
At the thought of poor old Benny
swamped by cyclones of reform!
And how double extra jolly it would be
to scotch and kill
One w. Mckinley and his blamed old
robber bill;
But different sort of feeling seems to
permeate the town.
And gas don't count for glory
