ventllation Of PublIo Bulldlngs.

A very common mistake in the ventila-
dion of churches and schoolhouses and
public buildings generally is made when
those in charge fail to open all the win
dows Immediately after the buildings have
been vacated. The exhalations from the
lungs and the emanations from the body,
being light, will float for awhile in the
atmosphere before falling to the floor, and
If the windows be opened at once, so that
a current of air can cross the hall, many
of them will be carried out. II, however,
as is usually the case, the windows are not
opened for some hours, maybe not till the
next day, these particles, settling upon
the floor, are not carried away, but when
the hall is again occupied by the feet are

machinery that even a green hand could
not help but admire. was the Moses of a
through train on athe Central at the time
of this story, and we were delayed at what
railroad men term switchboard in a
New York state hamlet. Orders were
handed me that q wreck had occurred on
my division, and was instructed to take
out through freight, leaving my passen-
ger train on the siding.
Il was very indignant, as did not take
kindly to attaching my engine to freight
train and so expressed myself to the oper-
ator. Mr.. Depew, the president of the road,
whom 1 did not know at the time, was
standing within earshot when 1 was deal
ing out my roast to the operator. He
walked up, and tapping me gently on the
shoulder remarked, What will you take
to sell your engine to the company l
never made reply, but hitched my engine
onto the train, and before was 20 min

don't know whether or not Mr.. Depew
thought that the wreck was due to my
carelessness or imagined that / deliberate
ly planned the wreck. At any rate, the
company decided that it could make as
much money without my name being on
the pay roll. Mr.. Depew is still with the
New York Central st. Louis Republic.

Farmers say they will have plenty of
feed this year.
1t is SO dry that the whiskey sold at
Great Bend joints is dealt out by the
chunk.
VIM. Johns has given up the Airing
ton hotel and he and family have gone
to New Jersey.
The crop of weeds seems to be as
prolific as in wet weather-now if we
could only utilize the weed.
Fenno Bros stock of ice is exhaust
ed and as they cannot procure any from
Great Bend, the city will either have to
use manufactured ice or go it hot.
Dan Haley leaves in few days for
Moberly, Missouri, where he expects
employment on the railroad. We are
sorry to see Dan leave US, as he is an
honorable man and is always ready to
assist any enterprise that will benefit
the town. The family have moved
their household goods out to Mr.. Quin-
lans and will remain there until Dan
secures a position.
The newspaper men of Rice county
have formed a combine and have
agreed not to publish any legal notice
for less than legal rates. The law fixes
the rate and it is nothing but cut
throat business on the part of publish
ers to do the work for less than the rate
prescribed by law. Such agreements
should be entered into by the newspa-
pers of every county.

OyermYer and Prohibition.

The question OF prohibition will be
handled without gloves by Hon. David
Overmyer IN the present campaign and
he Will boldly proclaim that il should
be torn from the constitution of the
state. He Will point out what the state
has lost by the enactment of the infa-
NOUS amendment, and will insist that
the commonwealth be rescued from. the
hands of crankS and restored to its
rightful position beside its sister states.
The republicans will dodge the issue as
usual, and the populists have practical
ly sanctioned il by endorsing female
suffrage, but Mr.. OvermYer will attack
the proposition fearlessly, and hold the
glaring farce up to the people in its
most repulsive light. He will prove
cOncluSiyely mat prohibition does not
prohibit, and that there Is really more
liquor drank in Kansas, and more
drunkenness in the state than ever be-
fore in its history. He will also attack
the law from a constitutional stand
point, and will challenge any man to
cOntroYert or dispute his statements.
In fact he will make a gallant fight for
the reputation and welfare of the state,
anC for the rights of its people to enjoy
not interfere with the rights of others.
If you are opposed to sumptuary legis-
lation, if you are opposed TO laws that
say what yOC shall not eat or drink, and
| if you are opposed to all forms
crankism, vote for David Overmyer
next Observation-Disclosures Messenger.

There is a man in Clahin who has a
new girl on an average of once a week.
Whether the girls give him the mitten

E. o. Jordan sent to Great Bend the
other day samples of corn for the Bos-
ton exhibit. The ears were fine ones,
selected from a field which will run SO
bushels to the acre. And that is an
exceptional yield even for a good year.
The family of John Stoskopf, of Du-

A devoted youth who is very atten-

''hornswoggled' the cushions from his

NOTES FROM OUR NE1GHBoRs.
ELLINWOOD.

From the Advocate.
John Dick Jr. lost his watch while
coming home from Great Bend on his
bicycle Sunday evening.
FoUND-A baby's white cloak, be-
tween Ellinwood and just north of the
Krieps farm on Sunday.
Mrs. ]. FEEDER and son, frankie, left
Sunday morning on an extended trip to
Chicago and Wisconsin to visit rela-
tives.
John Denker is preparing to build an
addition to his dwelling. 1t is to be the
same size as the part now standing,
which is quite large house.
Corn will make all the way from 40
bushels to the acre to 40 acres to the
bushel, there being quite as many acres
of the latter as of the former.
Theo. Item Jr., mail clerk on the NJ.
& M. branch, is having a cellar exca-
waited for new dwelling just opposite
w. D. Wilkinson's, which he will build
this fall.
The democratic vote in Kansas the
time the party showed its strength on a
straight ticket was Io2, 900. If every
democrat in Kansas will vote the demo
cratic ticket, it will be triumphantly
elected. This is not a wild guess, but
fact.
An enthusiastic irrigation meeting
was held in Ellinwood Monday evening.
1t seems the big irrigation ditch is
bound to be a go, and if it is, will be a
boom for Barton county farmers next
spring, and a boon to Barton's poor
laborers this winter.

Has politics done him up?
H. Gallon says he would like TO be in

Barney Lantry.

The democratic state convention
bonored itself in the selection of Bar
ney Lantry as its candidate for state
treasurer. He is respected and es-
teemed at home and abroad. He has
reached a position of wealth and infiu-
ence, from the lowest round of the lad
der of toll.
He dropped the pick and shovel of
the unskilled labOrer for the mallet and
chisel of the mechanic, which in time
were cast aside for the ''time keeper"
for the contractor, which later we hope
to see replaced with the records of the
state treasury.
Barney Lantry belongs to the toiling
masses. He knows the pathos of pow
erty, and the various stations to the
cross of human misery. He rose from
the people, but he was not spoiled in
rising:
His hand is rash, but his heart is warm
Principle is all his guide,
None more regrets deed OF harm
And none foTgives with nObler pride
He may be duped. but he won't be dared
If the field of fame be lost,
1t won't be lost by an Irishman.
His Irish nature is plant and respon-
sive to all fair and just demands. His
heart is filed with the warm blood OF
generosity, and his conscience has not
been naTU6noO III Lie struggle OA 44Ao'
He has earned his honOrs and is en-
titled to wear them; and if he should
be elected the greatness of the Office

the man.-Strong City Derrick.
THE Beacon says 1.-THE Topeka Press
is getting better each day" If that

of merit it ever had.

IF IT was not for the cut-throat ten
dencies of one of the Great Bend news
paper publishers the papers in this
county could do like those of Rice
county, collect full legal rates for legal
publications. The rates allowed by
law are none too high, when all things
are considered, and any man who has
the hardihood to publish a paper in
Kansas is deserving of better pay than
he generally gets for his work. When
there is p fellow. however. who has
possibly couple of hundred subscrib-
