Barton County Normal Institute.

The eighteenth annual normal insti-
tute of Barton county will be opened at
the Central school building in Great
Bend, on Monday, July 80, and close
Thursday, August 70. The object of
the Institute is to make teachers more
familiar with the subjects to be taught
and with the best methods of teaching.
No teacher who wishes to keep up with
the times can afford to miss the insti.
tute. Do not think because your GER
tiicate does not expire for one or two
years, you have no need to attend this
year. If you are a scholarly and sue
cessful teacher, we want you to attend
so that others may have the benefit of
your experience. If you are young and
without experience, it is duty you owe
to yourself and your pupils to make the
best preparation possible.
Come on the first day at 1880 a. m.
and attend the entire session. A re-
port will be published at the close of the
normal, showing the attendance and
studies pursued by each person.
Our instructors are thoroughly quail
flied for the work assigned them. Prof.
E. B. Smith, our conductor, is well
known by all our people as teacher of
eminent ability. We know he is the
man for the place, because we have
tried him and found him not wanting.
Prof. L. D. Arnold of Salina is pre-
pared to do thorough earnest work.
He has been successful teacher in the
public schools and county normals, and
at present is a teacher in the Saiina
Normal University. Prof. E. E. Nor
rison, who is a member of the examin-
ing board of Barton county, will also
assist. He is thorough student and
teacher, and is personally interested in
the success of the institute. Mr.. D.
M. Woodburn of Great Bend has been
engaged to teach vocal music. Mr..
WOODBURY. is thoroughly prepared to
instruct and interest the teachers in this
work. The day is coming when music
will be required to be taught in the
public schools. Nothing is better
adapted to bring harmony and good will
into the school room than music. Moth
ing else has so refining and elevating an
influence over children. We hope that
teachers will devote as much time as
possible to this subject.
An examination for teachers certifi-
Gates will be held on Friday and Satur-
day, August "a and IS. All persons
whose certificates expire before the
close of the coming school year should
take this examination. Much trouble
would be saved if school boards would
demand that teachers provide them
selves with certificates, good for the
entire term, before entering school.
The registration fee is one dollar,
payable in advance. Examination fee.
one dollar. Board can be obtained with
families at reasonable rates, and rooms
can be rented by persons who wish to
board themselves
Come to the superintendent Office,
register your name and secure copy
of the course of study. All inquiries
addressed to the county superintendent
viii be promptly answered.
Very respectfully,

A DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS.
Headquarters Democratic State CENTRALLY
Committee, Topeka. Kan,
July Is, 1894

July 10, 1S94.)
To the People of Kansas:
The Democratic party of this state
has placed in nomination a ticket
worthy of the party and of the state,
nominated in obedience to the over
whelming demand of the party for a
ticket made up of men who would not
only fight the battle Of the party to the
campaign, but deserving of your conf
dence, and which, if properly sup.
ported, will be elected.
Since 1888, there has been in Kansas
no exhibition of the full strength of
the Democratic party. That this is
true is attested by the fact that the
ratio of representation in the late
Democratic state convention was based
upon the Democratic vote cast at the
election in 1888. At the election of
1888, the party votes were as follows
in round numbers:
Republican ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 1872 900
Democratic ............ 102 600
Union Labor (Popuiist) 49,. ...... 81 900
Total ...-.-.... ............... 49,. S21 eco
AT the election of 1892, the Republi-
cans had 15S, 900; Democrats and Pop
ulists 10000; Prohibitionists 1000;
Total, $4,000. 1t therefore appears
that in the four years from 1888 and
1892, the Republican vote fell off "a,
600. These men voted the Populist
ticket. So did the $1,000 union labor
ties of 1888, making 81 900. Where
did the opponents of lsepublicanism
get their other los, 200 votes? They
got them from the 1O2, 900 Democrats
of 1888. Now that the Democratic
party has a ticket in the field, these
100000 stand ready to support it al
most to man. Therefore we say to
our populist friends who express such
a strong desire to defeat the republican
party, come over and ally yourself with
the only party in the state that can do
it. If you are sincere you can not re-
fuse. In 1892 the democrats abandon
ed all effort as separate party, voted
your ticket and massed their strength
through the activity of their organiza-
ton. All to defeat the republican par
ty. If you are as sincere as the demo-
Gratis in your desire to defeat that par
ty, you will adopt the only means to
that end and vote the democratic
ticket.
The democratic party is the party of
the consultation: the party of law; the
party of limited government, the party
of constitutional liberty; the party of
the people. 1t has great history, an
illustrious past, and it is destined to
have still more glorious future. 1t
is the party whose moderation, whose
just and temperate policies, whose de-
votion to popHlar individual rights
must redeem the country from the
consequences of vicious class legisla-
ton. It is the party and the only party
which can redeem Kansas from the
curse of fanaticism, folly and crank
ism and return the state to the way
of prosperity, civil justice and common
sense. It opposes the abominable
proposition of placing the burdens of
government upon women. 1t opposes

THE republican county central com.
mittee held meeting in this city last
Saturday. About half the membership
of the committee was present. Levi
Gum was elected treasurer and G. l..
Hobart secretary of the committee.
The plans of the campaign were talked
over with the candidates who were
present, and no great amount of en-
thusiasm was shown, especially by the
country members of the committee
1t was thought best-for various rea-
sons-nOt to attempt loud and ag-
gressive campaign, as heretofore in
dulged by that party; but rather to go
on sort of ''still hunt" after votes.
The position of the party, as outlined
by the state platform is non committal
on almost every question; therefore in
a ''still hunt" what might be said to
one lot of voters need not be said so
publicly, and the opposite position can
be taken when before another class of
voters. The Registers opposing female
suffrage and the Tribune's favoring it
each as opponents of simon pure re-
publicanism-was thought to be cute
plan by some of the committeeman,
though there were few who thought
the good of the party in the future
should the suffrage amendment car
ry-called for square stand in its
favor, even though they might lose the
German vote thereby. Eventually the
policy laid down by their state central
committee, to tsbe all things to all men"
and ''get votes-no matter how-but
get votes" was agreed to as the only
salvation this year. The candidates
are to ''get their work inn on individ-
ual democrats and populists, if they
can; and each member of the commit
tee is to report to headquarters any
doubtful voters he may find so that
the proper influence may be brought to
bear at the place where it may do the
most good (?). a vote of thanks was
not rendered the DEMOCRAT for gener-
ously informing the public of these
plans, but possibly will be at some fu-
ture time.

The Fishers.

Ontutudy evening company OF
Blenders left via Santa Fe for Canon
Park, D. c. Luse's property one mile
west of Burdette, Pawnee county.
Plenty of grub, camp accommodations
and fishing tackle was taken along.
which caused some of the unsophisti-
Gated to think that several tons of fish
would return with the company. The
gang being composed of distinguished
people, the Larned branch train was
held five hours to make connection
with the main line; the train vas also
stopped in the middle of the prairie
for the convenience of the picnickers.
Camp was struck about IL o'clock and
some of the boys were foolish enough
to think they could go to sleep right
away. but there was too much mis-
chief in the crowd to allow that.
Quiet prevailed about 1 O'Clock. At
4:3O a. NJ, everybody was up (this
rule was infexlble). Then the fishing
began, and soon there was enough of
the fnny tribe landed to start break
fast. The meal being finished. the
boys resumed fishing. Some of them
"went in swimming" ana the hilarity
that resulted would have evershad-
owed any pack of school boys on earth.
At dinner time, something lively hap
pened. The ''union" cook struck,
and wouldn't' allow any "scabs" to
follow him. The whole camp took
sides, and the matter was arbitrated
by re-instating the union man, and
putting in non union workman, with
the understanding that the one fac
ton should eat organized" fish and
the other "scab" fish.
The enjoyment continued till s
o'clock Monday morning, when they
broke mpand started for the railroad.
Quite lot of fish was caught; there
was plenty (of fish, for every meal,
and some "dandies" brought home.
Will Carr caught the biggest, about
five pounds, while Sid Newcombe lays
claim to the smallest, weight unknown.
There were no accidents nor annoy.
ances. The whole crowd got through
without even strain on their veracity.
The only "tall stories" heard were told
on the train Saturday evening, and
they were saddled onto Wichita
parties.
From the minute and laborious
investigations" Monday morning, it
is safe to say the boys were pretty well
posted on ch1ggers, or rather chiggers
we're we'll posted on them-numerous-
ly well posted.
The gang was to have included forty,
but only eighteen materialized. They
were D. G. Luse, Theo. Griffith, Sid
Newcombe, VIII Carr, Will Kelley,
Ed. Marx, Lon Rowell, Nick Smith,
Alb. Purcell, Charley Wickwire, John
REIN. Ralph Bailey, Charley Allison,
Ed. McNoun, Charley Brinkman,
Lutte Aber, Charley Morrison and the
city editor of the DEMOCRAT. Mr..
Luse has the deep gratitude of every
one for his efforts for the pleasure and
comfort of the boys.

ALL on pleasant summer night, a
fisherman sat in tina pure moonlight
that came through the tree-tops clear
and bright. He sat and tished with all
his might, held his fishing tackle tight,
and neither looked to left nor right,
while waiting the expected bite. A
chigger, itching for fight, crawled up
his trousers-none too Highland find
ing spot just about right, dived in,
till he was buried quite. Then that
fisherman took lofty flight, through
the moonlit air so bright; there was a
splash-a yell of affright-and that
fisherman was Tout of sight,

In SUMMING up the work OF the past
campaign it can be seen where both
parties made eome grave mistakes.
Many of the officials elected are men OF
honor and integrity, who can be relied
upon to do their duty, but with all rad
ical changes like this the victorious
party must likewise make some mis-
takes; some who will not make good
officers have crept in; some who
are not entitled to be voted for are put
up and carried through solely by the
tide OF change. When it is charged
that the Republican party has nom-
mated and elected man to one of the
county offices who is not q citizen OF
the U .ited Ststes-if the records Of the
superior court are correct-it is time to
call a halt. The clerk OF this county
should scan we'll the certificates that he
must soon be called upon to issue, for
there may be an alien among the flock.

AMUSE is.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The house
was packed last night for the frat per-
formance of Hsverly's Mastodon min
strels, and the probability is that it will
be packed for each performance during
the engagement.
Minstrel shows like the one last night
are few and far between. Strange as it
may eeem, the Jokes were, almost with
out exception, new end very funny, and
in the first part, which was a medley Of
serious and comic songs, and the usual
racy conversations between the accom-
plished conversationalist and the
gentlemen on either end who
WELD respectively tambourines and
bonee, there was clever singing
and an unusually high order of wit.
Albert Hawthorne, whose melodious
bass voice has been heard here before,
received warm welcome and sang a
couple of songs most acceptably Harry
Potter, who has q rich baritone OF con-
siderable range, sang Robyn's Answer,
and Oh, Promise Me as an encore !;
Harry Armstrong and Harry Budsworth
contributed each some comic ditties,
and George Evans in his original char
acter song, Standing on the Corner,
showed real cleverness and the true
darkey spirit. Shepard, Gibson and
Evans closed the first part with sketch
called Settling the Tariff, that
was full of hits and parodies, and
by carefully avoiding the subject
they managed to settle it about as satis-
factorily as the same question has been
settled elsewhere in the past few
months.
In part second the Haverly ouartette
contributed some Of the latest popular
music. Montgomery, Bulla and Little
Jim did come clean and spirited dane
ing, and the latter. who is truly
COON" gave a breakdown that was par.
ticularly good.
Harry Armstrong made the hit OF the
evening in his parody on the recently
made-famous muscle dance, which
brought down the house, and he was
recalled several times. Another ex-
tremely clever act waa the last. in which
Harry Constantine and Billy Lyons. but
dressed and made up as women, did
some songs and dances. The former. in
his general makeup of blonde wig, short
skirts, silken hose, slippere and gloves,
his carriage, and especially in his man
ner of using hands and feet, was excep-
tionally coed; and Lyons, as ballet
dancer, also did some very good work.
The show ali through is clean, with
wholesome fun, clever hits on some of
the fads of the day. new jokes and real
repartee; it is far and away the best
minstrel troupe that has been on the
coast for q numbar OF yeara, and all the
accessories are above par They hold
the boards the rest OF the week and Sat.
urday matinee. E. NJ. G.
