DIR. A. NJ. Callahan, who is can
didate for clerk of the district court
has been resi- lent of Topeka for the
last t&enty-eight years. He has
always been a republican. He has
never held an Office except member Of
school b)ard, in which capacity he
served the people of Topeka for a
number Of years. Tae doctor is an
old soldier having served in the army
three years and eight months. He
had the misfortune to be captured
with Col. Straight and his command
and was prisoner of war for nearly
twenty months, Many of his friends
have expressed surprise that he should
give up his practice and seek an
office. The facts are, that his health
failed niue years ago, and for seven
years he was either confined to his
house, or absent from home in search
of health from four to seven months
of each year; and able to do but little
at his profession during the remainder
of each year. As result, when his
health became restored year and
half ago sufficiently 10 enable him to
enter into active practice, he found -
as might be reasonably supposed-that
his practice had largely fallen into
other competent hands, and his sick.
ness had embarrassed him profession
ally and financially and had left him
greatly in debt. This is why he asks
for the nominatian of clerk of the
district court.-Topeka Mail.
