The POPuIist Ex-Candidate for Sheriff
Can't Stand the Machine.
A. B. Weber, who was a candidate for
sheriff on the Populist county ticket last
year, has written a letter to the county
central committee resigning his place on
the committee. The letter is as follows:
Gentlemen of the Committee of the Peoples
Party IN Shawnee County:
am Populist and fully endorse the
Peoples party platform. adopted at Oma-
ha. July 4, 1892. l have no use for poll
tical hypocrites of any party, nor for any
organization which works with them.
am opposed to machine politics and OPP
posed to political bosses aud professional
lash drivers. | am opposed to political
fraud and dead beats. and to the fraud
and corruption their reign always inau-
gurates. | do not endorse the methods
employed by the corrupt men who engi-
neered the county and state conventions
of the Peoples party of Kansas, and in
my judgment no honest man endorses
them. By virtue of these methods the
POpulists Of Shawnee county and Kan
sas have been denied the right of having
such conventions as are guaranteed to
them by the Omaha platform and in line
with the spirit of that platform, and since
you. gentlemen of this committee. seem
disposed to depart from the spirit of the
Omaha platform, endorse corrupt meth
DDS and shelter and protect corrupt men,
and all in the name of reform, therefore
as Populist, l must respectfully resign
my position on your committee, and ask
you to accept it Immediately.
Very respectfully,

Last Nights Social.

The DALLEs, Or, Oct. 9, 1894.
The Coffee Club gave another of their
pleasant socials last evening, and all
(about 1901 that were present seemed to
enjoy themselves very much. Dancing
was the principle enjoyment of the even
ing, though the vocal solo by Miss Hattie
Cram was enjoyed, and the recitation by
Master Eugene Davis about the pump
kin pie brought the house down. Coffee
and cake were furnished by Caterer
Keller, which is sufficient to say to
guarantee its good quality.
Friends of the Independent Workers
1. o. G. T. will remember that the
Coffee Club is composed of members of
this lodge and that these socials are
given once a month. Those who missed
last nights fun better look out for the
November social and attend.

That's what it does whether that is the

Bright weather and light attendance
marked the opening of the fair for 1894.
The number of people gathered to see
the races was not near as large as it
should have been to justify the continu-
ing the meetings. The grounds did not
present very enlivened appearance.
The track is in excellent condition and
shows that judicious work has been done
in its improvement. The moving of the
art and domestic exhibits down town
was one of the reasons why more people
did not visit the grounds, as it is only
those who are interested in horse racing
make the trip. The management un-
doubtedly were wise in making the
change and the attendance at the even
ing concerts will more than make up for
the number who stay away from the
grand stand on this account. The
management hope for a better atten-
dance during the remainder of the week
and if the good weather keeps up such
will undoubtedly be the case.
The stock exhibit is not yet complete,
though quite number of entries have

and horses are to be seen in the stalls
As THE CHRONICLE went to press the
horses were getting ready for the race,
so it is impossible to give the summa-
ries in today's issue.
In the pavilion at Wingate's hall the
attendants have been busy all day ar
ranging the exhibits. The space is
nearly all taken though not all the ex-
hibits have arrived. Two tables in the
center extending the entire length OF
the room, are loaded with fruits of all
varieties and different kinds OF vegeta-
bles. Big squashes, yellow pumkins,
egg plants, punches of celery, cauli-
flowers. cabbages, carrots and turnips
jostle one another in efforts to look their
biggest. 1t is pleasure and relief tc
turn from the discouraging talk about
the price of wheat and kindred topics to
the scene which the pavilion offers tc
the eye. The walls are covered with
products of the artists skill. Paintings
drawings and etchings together with em.
broidery and other handiwork from
skillful needles are present in great
array. All the little treasures dear tc
woman's hearts have been taken from
their places of safety and placed on ex
hibition. The result is one of great
beauty and satisfaction. Asthe pavilion

DR.. Emil Young. professor Of physt-
ology at the University of Geneva, is
in great distress concerning the future
of our legs. He suggests, in an essay
in the Semaine Litteraire, that in
course of thousand years the human
race may have lost the necessity of the
use of legs, and retain those members
of the body solely as ornamental sur
vivals. Men refuse more and more to
walk, though walking is the whole
soonest of physical exercises. Steam.
electricity, the rope railways, tricycles
and bicycles have changed Che VIII ole
aspect of Swiss touring, as he says, in
his own generation. Everybody seems
anxious to get everywhere any way ex-
cept by the use of his legs" In an
other generation, he supposes, our
travelling balloons will hang outside
our windows, or our electrical coaches
stand outside our doors They will be
produced SO cheaply that every man
will have his own chariot. Hence our
legs will become superfluous, then they
will be crippled and shrink to hideous-
ly small dimensions, until at last they
will finally disappear. Our arms, on
the contrary, will correspondingly
strengthen and lengthen. "While our
legs remain says DR.. Young, "let us
march all we can. n."-Westminster Ga
yettp.
