suggest to our contemporary that there
may be two excellent reasons given
why so many persons are stopping that

DR.. W. N. King,

Ii there Ia any one principle Of jus
lice more fixed IN the public mind than
another It is that long AID conscientious
service should have its reward. This
Is rs true In politics as In business and
the Republicans OF the county recog.
nized its strength when they nominated
DIR. Wilson N. King for register of
deeds at the beginning of the present
campaign. Through all the years that
have passed since his early manhood
he has stood staunchly by the Republi.
can party and unflinchingly fought its
battles aud stood up for its doctrines.
Now 1t is good politics and good bust
ness to reward him by electing him
overwhelmingly TO the ofiice to which
he aspires.
DR., King was born In Westmoreland
county, Penn, Dec. 4, 1925; moved to
Holmes county, Ohio. in 1888 and to
Mansfield, Ohio, In 1858. lie was
ambitious and eager to make success

medicine as soon as possible. He grad
uated at the Jefferson Medical college,
Philadelphia, in 1858, May, though he
had made great progress In his profess
sion and practiced regularly before
attaining such honors. In the.fall of '5s
he went to Knox county, Ohio, where
he practiced medicine for ~ years, ex-
cept during his army service. He was
surgeon of the Fifty Sixth regiment,
Ohio Volunteer Infantry from Oct,
1851 until he resigned Aug. 1853. He
reenlisted In the spring Of 1854 in the
l42nd regiment with which he served
as surgeon until the end of the war

Ole Of the institutions Of which
Dickinson county is most proud is its
county high school. Not only is il the
most prosperous one in the State but
1t was the FIRST ever organized and Is
watched closely by all interested in
education. 1t is OF great importance
that the men in charge Of 1t be those
entirely worthy. Such men have the
Republicans nominated.
Frank W. Wright, one of the nom
inees, was born in England in 1912.
When only year old he was brought
by his parents to Michigan. He en-
tered the Union army at 81, enlisting
In the nth Michigan infantry Aug, ~,
1852, and serving until he was muster
ed out June 8, 1885. He was in the
battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg,
Vicksburg, Spottsylvania, the Wilder
ness campaign and many other engage
ments.
He was married July 3, 1868 and two
years later moved to Missouri, o. 9
year of that State was enough for b m
and In 1871 he came to Kansas, HON, :
stealing In Ridge township the home
on which he has since lived. He HIS
been a member of the school board in
his district 10 years, IA of which he
was treasurer. He has been trustee OF
his township years and treasurer
years.
A. s. Lowery, the other candidate,
was born in Franklin county near Cham
bersburg, Pa, Jan. 4, 1910. He lived
on the farm with his parents until
1868. Then his father dying he settled
up the estate and took charge of the
farm until 1876 when 1t was sold. He
married that year and little later the
young couple came to Kansas, settling
In Rinehart township. They resided
on this farm until 1891 when they
removed to Chapman to educate theil
children at the county high school. Mr.
LoWery was elected county high schoo
trustee in 1890 and has made so excel
lent an officer that both Republicans
and Democrats have endorsed him fol
reelection.
Both Mr., Wright and Mr.. Lowery
are staunch Republicans and have the
respect of all who know them. Said
Mr.. Lowery the other day: II have
never denounced Kansas or her people
but have stood up for them all the
time. have done well enough since ]
came here" These gentlemen repre-
sent the east and south parts of the
county and will honor the county, the
high school and themselves as trustees,

Denying Its Offspring.

The REFLECTOR quoted last week
from speech made in congress by Mr..
rslbert, n Popullst from South Caro-
lima. 1t was a very bad speech to
make. II was a wicked quotation. 1t
hurt the Monitor very much, So that
paper comes out with a clustering
TRADE and disowns Mr.. Talbert and
tries to saddle him on TO the poor Dem
ocrsts who are now loaded down with
sins greater than they can bear.
We do not know whether Mr.. Talbert
Is Populist or not. We sometimes
doubt whether any Of the fellows that
the Populists have sent to Washington
have any other use for either Populists
or their doctrines than as q stepping
stone into public office. II has always
been difficult TO distinguish among
them Populists from Democrats and IL
the uninitiated sometimes mistake one
for the other he is excussble. Now
there Is 7. J. Hudson from the Third
district OF Kansas who when he is
laboring for votes down along the Yer
digris bottoms can play farmer, Pop or
hayseed at will; but no sooner does he
get down TO Washington than he gives
his record for publication in the same
congressional directory from which the
Monitor quotes as that Of "staunch
Democrat" Only last wnt IT about
rs Populist members Of thu Kansas
house and senate went out into the
slums and gathered up eight or ten
other Populists and called themselves
the "joint legislature" and every
mothers son Of them voted for John
Martin who has ever since claimed to
be the only, the simon pure bourbon
Democrat that was ever sent TO the
U. 3. senate from Kansas.
Then there is Senator l.. M. Irby
who when elected to the United Stat ca
senate from South Carolina was play
ing Populist and every Populist paper
from Passamaquoddy Bay to San Diego
was Growing over 1t, but Mr.. Irby has
evidently grown tired Of Populism and
last week he went home, got gloriously
hilarious and was arrested and fined In
the police court of his native town fol-
common drunk" and he comes back
10 Washington "staunch Democrat
So we might continue the record in
definitely.
Mr.. Talbert, the gentlemen from
whose speech the REFLECTOR quoted,
Is OF the same ilk rs Hudson, Martin
and Itby. He was nominated by Pop
ulists and his name was on all theiI
tickets, but like Hudson, Martin and
Irby when Mr.. Talbprt reached Wash
ingtOn he was ashamed of his political
percentage aud proclaimed himself a
'staunch Democrat" We do not wish

Monitor for disowuing Mr.. Talbert

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ASTRONOMY.
without Instruments Ancient Astrono-

without Instruments Ancient Astrono-
mers Kept Track OF the Heavens.
We find in the table at the Ramesseum
distinct references to tho bull, the lion
and the scorpion, and it is also clearly
indicated that at that time the Sirius rose
helacally Mt tho beginning of tho rise of
the Nile.
This word hcliacally requires little
explanation. The ancients. who had nc
telescopes and had to use their horizon
IA the only scientific instrument which
they possessed. were very careful in de-
termining the various conditions in
which q star could rise. For instance, il
star were rising ut the same time that
the sun was rising, It was said to rise
cosmically. but unless certain very obvi.
GUS precautions were taken the rising
star would not be seen in consequence Of
the presence Of daylight.
II 10 quite clear that IL we observe q
star rising in the dawn it will get more
and more difficult to observe the nearer
the time Of sunrise Is approached. There
fore what the ancients did was to deter
mine time before sunrise in the early
dawn at which the star could DO very
obviously and clearly seen to rise. The
term "heliacally rising" was coined TO
represent star rising visibly in the
dawn-therefore before the sun. Gener-
ally throughout Egypt the sun was sup
posed TO be something like 10 degs bo-
low the horizon when Il star was stated
to rise heliacally.
We find then that more than 5000
years ago the Egyptians were perfectly
familiar with these facts, and the differ
ence between u cosmical and heliacal
rising was perfectly clear to them. But
the table at Thebes tells us. moreover,
that the suns journey in relation to some
Of the zodiacal consultations was per-
fectly familiar 5,000ye ago.
These then are some Of the more
general statements which may be made
with regard to the most important points
so far discussed by those who have dealt
with Egyptian astronomy, and it may
be added that all this information has
come to us in mythologic guise.
The various apparent movements Of
the heavenly bodies which are produced
by the rotation and revolution of the
earth and the effects Of procession were
familiar to the Egyptians, however ig-
norant they may have been Of the causes
They carefully studied what they saw
and attempted to put their knowledge
together In the most convenient fashion,
associating 1t with their strange i'm
asinings and with their system Of wor-
ship.-Nineteenth Century.
