Delicate Duties.

Tho agency reporters arc of course cho- sen with especial rcfaronco to their capabil- ity as question askers. It Is tho reporters s duty to find out the roal standing of every man on whom ho has to make a report. If the man won't tell how he stands, or if he seems to be hiding the facts, tho report CT must go to those who arc doing busi- ness with him-his ncighbors or his bank er-and if there Is a rumor it must be yer flied, if possible
 Sometimes. especially in small and re- mote places, the commercial agencies do not send staff reporters to look up the af- fairs of business men, but engage a resi- dent of the place, perhaps tho postmaster or the local banker, to keep tho run of things Usually this service is well done, and usually the reporter is unknown of his fellows When he Is discovered, as he sometimes is, he Is of course denounced as a spy, as Q man who takes advantage of his friendly knowledge of his neighbors affairs to make a httle money and per chance deliver them into tho hands of their financial enemies Sometimes, too, both these resident rnpofters and the TO- porters from tho office turn in misleading reports, and a great deal of damage may be done in that way, of course. In tho nn- ture of things, however, this does not often happen. for the reporter does not hnve to

 After rowing for awhile in tho placid reservoir McCluskcr and Marooncy tried to change seats. As they attempted tC pass the boat kcelcd over on McClusker's $ side. He was by far tho heavier of the two and had placed his weight too ncal the gunwale. The water poured into the boat in an instant, and the others, fear, ing just what occurred second later, rose to their feet. McClusker had lost his bal. ance, and as he stepped backward to rc' gain it tho boat went over
 Marooncy was thrown clear of tho boat, and he struck out for the shore. He was fho only one who could swim. Katie Nc. CluSker seized the boat and contrivcd tc keep her head above water.

A MIXED FIGHT.
General Rebellion Against Frakes'
Political ManiDulatlon

OAKLEY, Kan, August Politics in
the Twenty-third judicial district are
badly mixed. The republicans nomi-
mated the Hon. Lee Monroe, OF Wa-Kee-
ney, and the democrats nominated W
Z. Saum. OF the same city. The popu-
lists held their convention at Oakley
several weeks ago and adjourned with
out making a nomination. 1t is said
that democratic money was used to in
duce the convention to iEd0rse SaGlln,
but failing in this the convention sim
ply refused TO make nomination. As
2 result Of this monkey work A. ..
Gnkeson, OF Ellis county, a stalwart
democrat, has announced himself as an
independent candidate. Mr.. Gilkes0n
is a gentleman OF ability as Il lawyer and
enjoys large practice. He objects to
the register Of the Wa-Keeney land
Office forcing a man Of the Saum stripe
upon the democrats and people OF this
district, and he has many sympathizers
who will give him cordial support
Saum, the democratic nominee, who
was put out as a bait for the populists,
Is a creation Of the Wa-Keeney land Of
fee and is not fitted in any way. shape
or form for judicial Office. He was a
formidable candidate for the Of
nee OF register OF the 1dnd ONCE
and Frakes had to promise him some
thing in order to sidetrack him. Part of
the agreement was carried out when
Frakes put him onto the democratic
convention, but the rest has flashed in
the pan" In order to force Saum onto
the populists the register ''subsidizef'
the three populst papers and even one
or two republican papers IN the district
with final proof notices. While Frakes
succeeded in causing the populist con-
vention to adjourn without nominating
he can. not bride nor intimidate the
great body of the populists OF this dis
trict into voting for S&um.
1t is understood that another indie
pendent candidate in the person Of
David Rathbone, of Hays City, Is about
to enter the field. Mr.. Rathbone's abiI-
tiles as lawyer are unquestioned and
as he is straight, middle-of-the-road
populist he viii receive a big vote from
that element OF his party. Meanwhile
the republicans are attending to their
own business, saving wood and looking
happy. In Lee Monroe they have a
candidate who is well fitted in every
way Tor the position OF judge and they
are confident OF his election by d good
majority Topeka Capital.

Why don't some of the populist edi-
tors who are aching to d,scuss the legis-
lative war and the populist administra-
ton explain why no eminent jurist has
criticised the decision of the supreme
court OF the state in declaring the Doug
las house the legal one while some OF
the best constitutional lawyers and
judges of the country have, after careful
ly perusing that decision, pronounced it
correct and right Tell us by what
mathematics 50 is more than Ga? Why
has there been such disgraceful conduct
at the penal and charitable institutions
OF the state under the administration
control? Why, if this administration
had saved the state a million dollars. is
there not more money IN the state treas
ury to-day than there was two wears
ago when the republicans turned it
over to the populists instead OF several
thousand dollars less? Why don't the
state officers stay at home and do the
work the state is paying them for, and
thus be consistent with their demands
OF two years ago, instead OF gadding
about over the state making political
speeches week days and Christian So
claIlst lectures on Sunday when an audi
ence can be found willing to listen to
them? Why was there decrease OF
81 500 in the assessed valuation of Pull
man Palace cars, the class in which Gov
ernOr Lewelling and his coterie rode to
the Worlds Fair in free, while the poor
mans tourist car was assessed 100
higher than heretofore? Why. if free
trade is correct as the populists claim,
did the Hutchinson Salt company make
free trade Senator John Martin. whom
populist votes sent to the senate, favor
protective tariff on salt, and why did
the Galena, Kansas, lead smelling
operators make the same senator Mar
tin act like tariff on lead was the very
thing he had longed all his life to vote
for? Why, if the populists are not
afraid OF their record, don't they have
joint debate or two occasionally with
such men as Douglas or Hook? or did
Lewelling get enough of that kind of
walloping with his joint debate with
Douglas last winter at Wichita? We
do not wish to be inquisitive but there
are good many people who can not I'M
derstand some OF the mysteries of popu-
list ways and methods. And while your
coat is off just explain the necessity for
drawing out the $4,000 cholera fund at
this particular healthy time of the year
when there has not been a case OF chol-
era within Mailing distance of the CONT
nent for many months.

SOME RAILROAD TALK.-The GOulds
are after the Kansas Pacific, with all its
property from Denver to Kansas CITY,
with the idea of making it a part of the
Missouri Pacific system. That would
give the latter company what it has long
needed, good short line from st. Louis
to Denver. Its present line via Council
Grove to Pueblo depends upon other
lines for trackage into Denver, and the
route is so long it is not able to compete
with the Rock Island or Kansas Pacific.
Should the Goulds gain control of the
Kansas Pacific line it might prove
very important movement to Atchison.
In the event of the transfer of the Kan
sas Pacific to the Missouri Pacific sys-
tenn, it is quite probable that the Cen
trail Branch would be extended from
Stockton, Hill City and Grainfeld or
Oakley, thus giving a through line to
Denver for Missouri Pacific shipments
and passengers from st. Joseph and
Atchison, and that would be the short
est line between the Missouri river and
Denver and would traverse the gar
den belt of Kansas. The result of such
q movement would be of incalculable
benefit to the Central Branch property
and the splendid farming region along
the line. In the event of these changes
it is understood that the Lincoln Branch
from Salina to Oakley via Lincoln, Luz
ray, Palco, Hill City and Colby. would
be operated as an independent road.
In the event of these changes it is posi-
bic that another short link of road will
be built from Lenora up the north fork
of the solomon to Werner, there connect
ing with the Lincoln Branch, thus Civ
ing every point on the Central Branch
short line connections with Denver
