IT WOULD do our merchants good lat
least few of them who seem to think
the cranky law that has burdened our
statutes for the past dozen years and
driven thousands of industrious home
seekers from the state of Kansas), 10
close up their places of business some
Saturday and go down to Ellinwood
and see the amount of trading done in
that town by country people, farmers
who HAVE THE CASH and spend it
freely-the very best class of customers.
They would SEE men trading at the
Ellinwood stores who drove ten to
twenty miles to do so, when they could
have reached some other town in half
or third Of that distance. Let them
ask such farmers why they go that long
distance when they might reach as
good trading point and get as good
goods and low prices in shorter dis
lance. and the reply would be: I'VE
don't like your cold water town, we
earn our own money and we don't want
any man to tell US how we should
spend it; we enjoy glass of beer when
we come to town, and we don't want
to have TO buy bottle or keg of your
joint hop tea to get it." These are
plain unvarnished facts, gentlemen.
Think them over; and if you wish the
same state of local affairs to continue
for the next hundred years, more OF
less, keep on voting the republican
ticket.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The first county convention of the
season, that of the g. o. p, to select del
egates to the state convention at topeka
June 9Th, and the congressional con-
vention at Newton May Sd, was held
in the court house last Saturday. il
Francis was made chairman and Joe.
H. Borders and G. w. A. Cooke secre
taries. Although Mr.. Francis is a
'tenderfoot" in this county, he springs
rashly into the whirlpool of politics
with the avidity of man who is look
ing for something, and took occasion to
make spread eagle talk to the faith
full that was phenomenal only in the
faithfulness with which he rehashed
old worn-out chestnuts and the bitter
ness which he feels over being knocked
out last year by the pops. In one
bright spirit of Grafton he brought down
the house, and split the solubrieus at
mosphere by saying that, during the
meeting of the recent populist legisla-
ture the stencil that arose from the
aggregate conglomeration caused the
man in the moon to hold his nostrils as
he passed over Topeka" This was one
of the would-be county attorneys most
telling arguments (2l in favor of repub-
licaniSm.

Worry and indigestion-

Worry is curse and a source of
untold evils. It seams the face with
lines and burrows, and has a most
depressing effect upon that hyper
sensitive organ, the stomach, which
at times becomes a most unwilling
and laggard servant. Indeed, 1t is
safe to say that unless encouraged
by cheerful temper and bright, or,
at least, hopeful thoughts the stom-
ach will play truant or sulk and do
no work which it can shirk. The
physiological explanation Of this Is
the close alliance Of the great SYM
pathetic nerves, which are worse
than the telegraph for carrying
bad news; the worry and anxiety
which depress the brain produces
simultaneously 9 semi-paralysis OF
the nerves Of the stomach, gastric
juices will not flow and-presto,
there is indigestion.
One sign of mental health is seren-
ity Of temper and self-control that
enables US to bear with equsnimity
and unruf1ed temper the petty trials
and jars of life, especially those a-is-
ing from contact with scolding,
irascible, irritating folk. Il is vel
to remember at such times that these
unfortunates are their own wors'
enemies; and cultivation of the ar
of not hearing will help US yer.
much. It is a very useful art al
through life, and well worth som,
trouble to acquire. - Demorest'

The female suffragists effected a
campaign organization Monday night
in this city. A meeting was held
once before to elect officers and per-
feet the organization, but the pop
ulists and republicans in attendance
were SO equally divided that each
faction was afraid to go ahead and
elect officers for fear the other would
capture the machine. Monday night
however the republicans got the
bulge of the populists. and elected the
following officers: President, Mrs.
VIM. Hossack; Vice President, c. P.
Townsley; Recording Secretary, Mrs.
Mary Mitchell; Corresponding Secre-
tary, Mrs. A. ..R. Moss; Treasurer, Mrs.
DR.. Hall. The guttersnipe will doubt
less be made the official organ of the
new party. The Beacon is not in it.
Vice President Granny Townsley will
tell the ladies the republican party is
for female suffrage. but will she try to
get her party to endorse it in its plat
form?

AS the 6:l3 Santa Fe passenger was
pulling out for the east Tuesday eve
ming tramp named Geo. Nimonick
attempted to jump onto the blind
baggage and fell under the wheels,
having his left leg cut off below the
knee, and left arm below the elbow,
besides being badly cut about the head.
He was taken to the house north of the
Valley House, and medical aid sum-
monsed, but he died at 9:15 Wednes-
day morning. There was with him a
man who gave the name of John
Spritcer and his address as sos North
First Street, Kansas City, Kansas.
Spritcer said he met with the dead
man first OH Monday, at Great Bend,
but knew nothing about him except his
name and that he was an Austrian, a
single man, and the two of them were
bound for Kansas City to work in
Dold's packing house. He said de-

folks, but did not know where the
folks were. The injured man stated
that he had given the other man $14,
and on search that amount was found
on Spritcer. The latter was held by
Sheriff Spencer for further develop
ments. The dead man was appar-
emily about 80 years old, and had the
marks of tramp, his hands indicated
that he had done no work lately. The
county took charge of and buried the
remains.
