The Reunion.

The tenth annual reunion of the
soldiers and sailors of Phillips county
convened at the old fair grounds in
this place Monday evening. The ex-
ercises began with song-"Rally
Round the Flag, Boys"-after which
Rev, Hindman led in prayer. Mayor
e. B, Sewell delivered the welcome
address, giving the soldiers the free
dom of the city-includlng dry goods
boxes, etc. Rev's. Strong and Hind
man each made an appropriate ad-
dress, after which the rest Of the ev.
ening was spent in general campfire,
songs ETC., not the least attractive of
which was a song by j. NJ. Sallee.
On Tuesday morning the streets
were soon crowded with teams as the
crowds gathered towards the grounds.
Commander B. Kelly and Hon. N. B.
Mccormick made short addresses in
the forenoon
In the afternoon Commander KEEL
ley spoke for two hours and half.
A campfire was held IN the even
ing. Miss Blanch Blood of Alma and
Hon. George w. Stinson made ad-
dresses to the large audience, after
which songs, etc, completed the eV-
enings entertainment.
Wednesday forenoon the business
meeting was held. j. B. Hicks of
Logan was elected president and Ma
jor William Drumhiller, secretary.
Logan was chosen as the place for
holding the next reunion. Nothing
further was done and the crowd grad
ually dispersed in the afternoon.
The Phillipsburg cornet band and
the Logan military band furnished
excellent music for the occasion.
The meeting was largely attended.
On Tuesday there were probably
5000 people on the grounds.

Dodging the Issue.

The republicans want to dodge the
issue again. 1t has been given out
from republican headquarters that
the disgraceful Legislative muddle of
last winter is to be made the subject
Of their political harqngues this fall.
Now the people believe the popu-
lists were rightfully in the majority,
and they know from utterances in the
Topeka Capital and other republican
papers, made previous to the assemb-
ling of the legislature, that the re-
publicans meant to steal the leglsla-
ture and elect a United, States sena-
tor. This they partially failed to do,
though by the aid Of a partisan court
they finally wrested from the popu-
lists the organization.
In the heat of controversy, no one
doubts that mistakes were made by
individuals of both parties. But the
intelligent people of Kansas know all
this, aud have heard it discussed un-
til they have become heartily dis

INGALLS, says the next republican
candidate for president should know
how to be profigate and retain the

the fame of a sagacious statesman
and profound political economist"

y
monthe and 20 days.
About one week previous to her
death she received a slight cut on her
thumb, which caused blood-poisoning
to set in. Everything was done for
her that loving hands could admins
ter, but the most attentive medical
treatment and patient and loving
nursing was without avail, and the
sufferer passed from this earth to the
great beyond at 1:20 p, m. on the
above date. She was a very bright
and intelligent girl, and being the
only daughter, was idolized by her
parents, and her death is q sad, cruel
blow to them. 1t is a case where hu-
man sympathy is unable to comfort
and where the Borrowing can only
find relief from the great sympa-
thetic.
The funeral was held Thursday az
ternoon at 2 o'clock, the services be-
ing conducted by Rev. Sellers of the
Christian church Of Phillipsburg.
The remains we're laid to rest in the
Marvin cemetery.
She has reached the port Of glory,
And our coming scarce can wait;
Do not grieve 80 for your darling.
For she'll meet you at the gate.
She has only gone before you,
Just TO find that perfect rest
Oh, believe me, dearest ones,
Our Heavenly Father knoweth best
And he whispered in the gooming,
"Holy Spirit come to me;
I've mansion here In glory,
That's been waiting long for thee.
So she'll watch and wait, dear loved ones,
In her home beyond the aky;
Knowing that she soon shall meet us,
Meet us In that by and by.
For she has reached that port Of glory,
And our coming scarce can wait.
Soon we'll have glad reunion,
And she'll meet us at the gate.

gusted with the whole proceeding.
And the party that forces it before
the suffering public again does it at
its peril.
Whit the people wish now is to
hear a candid honest discussion OF
the issues that vitality interest them.
They wish to hear the financial and
industrial systems Of our government
fully elucidated. They wish to know
the cause of panics in order that we
may in the future avoid such calami-
ties. They wish to know who it is
that advocates the total demonetiza-
ton Of silver whether it is the peo-
pie or the usurers. They wish to
know why, If the government can
take a bankrupt railroad and run it
on a paying basis, that 1t cannot take
charge of paying roads as well, with
out loss to the people. They want to
hear the objections to postal saw
ings bank, If there be any. These
are a few Of the points on which the
people are hungering for informa-
ton, but the republicans do not dare
meet the Issue squarely. They are
therefore endeavoring to twist aud
comfort the Legislative trouble to suit
their side and then make this a cam
paign Of prejudice and mud-sllnglng.
Will the people endure it?
