School N oteS.

A mistake occurred in last weeks is
sue concerning the required standing for
third grade certificates. The minimum
allowed is not 40 but so and the general
average 70.
1t will not be necessary to issue more
than two or three temporary certificates
to supply the schools of the county with
teachers. 1t is hoped that school boards
will be very careful in recommending
teachers for temporary certificates
Arrangements for the first teachers
meeting will soon be made and notice
given through the papers.
Several teachers have expressed de-
sire to subscribe for the Western School
Journal, provided they secured schools,
etc. All now ready to subscribe should
send in their names Immediately in or
der to secure the September number
which will contain the questions used at
the late examination and answers to the
same. The terms are 81 cash or 81 pa

Peoples Party Convention.

The peoples party of Trego county
met in Opera hall last Saturday and
nominated a county ticket So far as
the nominations were concerned it was
all harmony for the reason that two or
three constituted leaders arranged the
ticket some time since, and the meeting
was only play convention-doing what
1t was told to do.
The convention demonstrated one
thing-if any further evidence was nee
essary-and that is that the populist
party of Trego county is not party of
principle but one one of spoils only.
They nominated two democrats for the
office of treasurer and sheriff. A wear
Or two since the populists used to get
very angry at us when we intimated that
plumber and not principle was the actu-
ating motive with them. They will not
become indignant any more when we
gently insinuate that the reform party
is such in name only. Oh, no! they
have thrown off the mask-it was dia-
phanous and gauzy from the start-and
they now stand revealed in the full glare
of the bright sunlight. A few of the
populists men-men who fondly
imagined that an area of reform, with a
large ''R," would be the result of the
peoples party nomenclature at last
become convinced and now say they will
never support the conglomeration or
any portion of it.
Whether the party lash will be potent
enough to whip them back remains to
be seen. A very large proportion OF
democrats never will support the COM
bined aggregation. This thing has
been tried before and they could not he
whipped back. They are what they say
they are-democrats from principle and
everlastingly opposed to an unhOly alE-
ance with a party for whose principles
they have no respect. A lesson will be
taught this fall-severe though salutary
that will not soon be forgotten.
The aggregation ratified the following
slate which was nominated by two or
three of the bosses sometime prior to the
ostensible nominating convention: For
sheriff, L. S. Myerly, of Collyer, here
tofore democrat; county clerk, w. I.
Brabb, of Ogallah; register of deeds, s.
L. Shorthill, formerly a prohibitionist
but now populist; treasurer, g. M. Uf-
ford, of Wa-Keeney, heretofore dem
ocrat; district clerk, A. E. McCollum,
of Wa-Keeney, who is what George Tun-
nell and one or two others tell him to be.
He was put on principally for "fllin;''
county surveyor, J. G. Rich, who is the
son of his father and a very proper
young man and put on for ''fillin" also =;

1T would perhaps not be possible to
find in Salina to-day name more be-
rated than that of John Davis, member
of congress from this district The news
has come from Washington that the Sa-
lima land office is to be moved to Tope-
ka and consolidated with the office there
The land office here is still doing large
business as it embraces twenty-five
counties. Captain Banks, the receiver,
said to-day that it has always been
thought possible to consolidate the Wa
Keeney office with the Salina office
thereby making this an important point
1t is felt that the only reason that the
Salina Office is to be moved is because
the congressman from this district has
made no effort to present the matter in
its true light to the proper authorities.
The most serious phase of the question
is that with the removal of the land Of
flee all hope of the public buildings be-
ing erected departs. The appropriation
for this building is already made and
the superintendent of construction ap-
pointed. The strongest feature upon
which the claim for the public building
was presented was the land Office being
here. The plans for the new building
contained provisions for land office de-
partment. Now that the public building
dream will be dissolved and every man
here will consider it the result of negli-
gence and inaction on the part of Repre-
sentative Davis.-Capital.

A Description of the Peoples Party
Convention.

1t seemed decided fact that the fu-
sion with the democrats was an issue
beyond a doubt; also the leaders did not
like to disclose it. After several appeals
by NJ. E. Doerschlag they at last con-
cluded that it would be wise to let the
people know what they wanted to do.
So S. Shorthill arose and announced
that the leaders (Messrs. Rich, Wheeler,
McGarvie etc. had concluded to fuse
with the democrats, partly for the
sake of getting few offices.
After this announcement NJ. E. Doer-
schlag IN an eNtemporaneous speech ably
seconded by Mr.. Countryman, denounc-
ed the actions of the so-called leaders of
the peoples party in seeking-as Ben.
@. Rich called it afterward-a co-opera-
ton between the democrats and the peo-
pies party.
Mr.. Wheeler came next on the pro-
gram. He saw everything in rose color
and he was in high jubilee because he
assured the writer that he was no candi-
date-(he has got his plum all the same).
Next came Ben G. Rich, who tried by
wrong election returns to make angels
with snow white garments out of the
democrats.
Mr.. Shorthill clapped the climax by
supporting everything his two predeces-
sors had said.
So far everything went off swimmingly
for the tricksters. There was a little
difficulty when NJ E. Doerschlag de-
manded the floor to refute the state
ments so loudly made by those proceed
ing orators. But they got over this diff

UNION PACIFIC TIME TABLE

wonderfully strong was the "Battle of

Turkey has the space to the east and
her lawn has her emblem the star and

This building is hard to describe, and
one is SO apt to get conglomerate idea
of the polished hard wood, the inlaid
panels, the gaudy draperies till one al
most feels as if it is highly perfumed,
richly upholstered, but enormous toilet
box of some kind. There are SO many
rich silks, handsome tapestries, rich
jewelry and precious gems that it looks
as though there is a rivalry between
Turkey and India. But all of this gor-
geousness didn't interest me as did

trance. The deadly curiosity had fac
