LAST year the Dispatch had the
county printing. at ten cents a square.
This year the HERALD has it at twenty
cents per square, apparently double
the price of last year, But some how
or other the Dispatch has a queer
way of measuring type. For in
stance road notice of thirty-one lines
nonpareil in the Dispatch cost the
county ninety cents. As the HERALD
is to receive double the price of the
Dispatch it should get $3.50, but
some way or other the same notice
this year will cost the county S1.20.
The HERALD has to confess that it
does not understand how this comes.
Possibly the Dispatch man has in i'm
proved method Of measuring type

A FUNNY thing happened at Man

county committee called a non-parti-
san meeting for the purp ose of CON
demning the Populist party, but
some way or other the program as ar
ranged did not pass off as was ex-
pected, as the meeting passed resolu-
tions endorsing the action of Cover

county, we are glad to be able TO report
the steady growth ot the work. We find

BY the Christian people of all lenomins-
lions in the Sunday school work. And in
the fact that in some of the Sunday
schools organized this year gospel meet
ings have been held and souls brought to
to the Savior. We also note with pleasure
the interest taken by our Sunday school
workers in county and township conven-
ton work. And the large number of
workers who are introducing normal
work and other improvements into their
schools.

TOMS AMBITION.

A dispatch from Washington says of
OUR Tom
tom Fitch, of Wichita, knows he
wants a situation. but does not know ex-
actiy what he he'd best do. He came here
for the purpose of getting the dictatorship
soon, but now he is likely to find that
difficult matter, aud he may be induced to
let the other boys have the Kansas federal
places and for himself look to something
outside the state. He has understood
since arriving that there will be some
places on Indian commissions in the ter
ritory. and that these places wi II draw
clever salaries and offer pow
erful opportunities Cor man of
daring temperament, and this about out
lines his liking. and he has commenced to
figure with Martin about a deal of this
kind. He is forced to consider this matter
by the showing of Eaton for United States
attorney, as his appointment, it Is thought
would prevent Wichita getting one of the
prominent federal positions in the state"
The above will be interesting news for
Street Commissioner John Farrell
who is after snap in the Indian Territory
Of this kind also II one of them gets the
place the other will not, and that is how
the matter stands. Early after the cleo
ton John squandered IS cents on "blue
book" and after studying it carefully he
found ou5 that he wanted a place in the
Indian Territory. He Immediately went
to work securing Endorsements, and it was
only week ago that he sent bushel or
SO of them to Washington. The question
now is, which of them will be the winner.

A WILD GOOSE CHASE

The brains of dozen Demo-Pops have
been kept busy during the past two weeks
trying to obtain something concerning
the private character of l. NJ. Cox, Re-
publican candidate for mayor, but they
have failed to get even the nucleus of a
suspicion. Yesterday they thought they
had one sure, aud the fxers, who have
been very respondent at the poor outlook
for mud-slinging, danced with ghoulish
glee. IL was this way: Some good old
soul, who has spent his life in preach
ing the Gospel told a fellow preacher
that Cox at one time operated a
drug stors and joint in this city
and for that reason he found some
difficulty in making up his mind
10 vote for Mr.. Cox. Preacher
No. . put the story in the
ear of Populist and he in turn took
it to headquarters. A whole pack of blood
hounds were Immediately put on the scent
and plans were laid to make startling
expose when the details were ascertainei
For hours they followed the trail of the
story and finally found the author of il,
but to their chagrin ascertained that
preacher No. l was all the time under the
delusion that the candidate for mayor was
the DR.. Cox who recently kept drug
Douglas avenue. but who is not living in
the city any more. The fellows who went
out hunting mud in such high glee, re
turned home weary of their chase aud sad
over their disappointment.

aud went 10 investigate it, but 1t appears
some good women bad been ahead of him
and had helped the sufferer TO both
food and medicine and also arranged to
provide her with employment Ms soon as
She is able to work. The other case was
even a more pitfalls one 1t was that OF a
widow woman with four small children
and not only without means OF support
but stranger here and knew no one to
appeal to for aid. This woman too, was i'll
and required immediate medical attend

two days and were almost starving. The

course it is not yet known when this event

is that it viii occur about
the latter end of April and
maybe before that time. Then again
many merchants and intending merchants
are coming in daily selecting stocks for

They are placing their orders so that when

A SUCCESSFUL, MANS VIEWS,

NJ. R. Moser has been In town for a day
or two. His big orchards and vineyards
in central Kansas are full of promise this
season. But he is giving more attention
to cattle than to his orchards He says
that the cheap days for cattle are past;
that there will be big shortage of beef
within two years; that man can't pay
too much for likely calf, anent the GER
taiuties of the future; that the wind-range,
grass-ranch, and winter starvation plan of
cattle raising has had its day; that wheat
raising will be almost totally abandoned
i'll Kansas and cattle and hogs will be
taken up instead. and that in very few
years Kansas, Oklahoma and northern
Texas will be famous for their wealth and
prosperity, and principally from their live
stock products. In the meantime the
policy of making the Missouri river a
basing line for all Kansas shipments must
be wiped out even if it is necessary to
wipe out the railroads to accomplish it.

PRISONERS MUST WORK.

Yesterday Rufe Cone, chief of police,
ordered the prisoners out to work on the
streets, which was new departure and
one which was by no means relished by
the prisoners. 1t was surprising the mum
Der of them that look very sick" when
they found out what the intentions of the
police were The excuse, however, was a
useless one for the city physician was at
once called in who pronounced them in
most excellent health. They were then
given shovels, put in charge of an overseer
and put to work cleaning the alleys OF
course they will not do mnch worn, but
they will be compelled to do enough to
make prison life distasteful to them. A
person in the city Jail without work has
firstclass time, so good that many useless
vagabonds preferred being in there with
an insurance of enough to eat than being
at liberty and compelled to earn their own
living. IL is safe to say that from now on
the population Of the city Jail will dimin-
ish materially.
