A Columbian Echo.

A well-known Sand Lake resident
and his wife are telling their friends
of an experience they had at the
worlds fair When the couple ar
rived in the ''Windy City, the husband
left his wife in railway station,
while he went out to see if the land
was clear and they could reach the fair
grounds without being waylaid by
thugs and other unfriendly persons.
The survey was satisfactory, and
when the husband returned to the sta
ton with a self-satisfied grin he ex-
pected to see his faithful spouse watt
ing his return. But the seat where
the wife had been was deserted, and a
great fear came upon the man from
Sand Lake. Suppose she had been
kidnapped and spirited away until an
immense reward should be paid? The
husband thought kidnapers were
around, and he caused excitement in
the station The assistance of the po-
lice was had, and after several days
the lady was found in the exact seat
from which she had disappeared. She
had gone outside the station after her
husband, and becoming confused was
lost in the crowd After searching
several days for her better half she
went, like sensible woman, back to
the railway station and patiently
waited to be found.

THESTATE TICKET SAFE
Compiled Reports from All Coun-
ties Indicate the Absolute Ger
talnty of Republican Sue
cess.
The Forces to Be Now Directed to
Close Legislative Districts That
a Republican Senator May
Be Assured.

Topeka, October 3.-The last
month of the campaign opens up
with most fattering prospects for
Republican success. During Sep
TENDER the state has been thorough
ly canvassed and carefully compiled
reports from every county show
that the state ticket will be elected
by plurality Of not less than 3d.
600. So numerous have been the
exposures of populist official incom-
potency and dishonesty that their
speakers and papers have been fore
ed to make defensive campaign in
order to prevent their most loyal adj
herents from DESERVING their cause.
So numerous have been the confess
sions of apostate populists during
the last three weeks that new ones
have ceased to attract attention.
The prospective plurality Of the
state ticket is SO great and, in the
opinion of the state central commit
tee, so certain that it has been de-
cided to devote the balance of
the campaign largely to work
in the close Legislative districts,
that the republican majority in
the house will be so large that
there will be no question concerning
the outcome of the senatorial cleo
ton. 1t would be as great and as
lasting disgrace to the state and
blow to her credit if a Doster, a
Breidenthal or a Martin should be
chosen to represent her for the next
six years in the national senate. as
it would if Lewelling and his asso-
eiates were given further lease of
power in the control of the govern
ment of the commonwealth.
Now that it is certain that the
credit and good name Of the state
will be closely guarded at home
with Major E. N. Morrill, in the ex-
ecutive chair, every republican
SHOULD use his power and influence
to send to the legislature men who
are not tainted with the virus of
popnlism and who can be depended
upon to vote for a representative
Kansan for United States senator.
No mistake will be made if either OF
the ayowed republican candidates
are elected. While the nominations
for this important position are not
yet closed, any one of those already
named would be living protest il

ambitions subservient to the cause
of good government and the honest
administration of public business.
The rivalry. between them has been
of the most friendly character, the
efforts of each having been directed
toward the election of the state
ticket and republican candidates for
the legislature, regardless of the in
dividual preferences of the latter for
United States senator. That bril-
liant young orator, j. r. Burton,
entered the field shortly after the
state convention, and his services
have been at the disposal of the
state central committee ever since.
His work has been effective, result
ing in stimulating republicans to
renewed activity. J. W. Ady's cool,
logical arguments in all sections of
the state have caused many erring
populists to see clearly the fallicious
teachings of the populist disciples.
A. w. Smith, although laboring
under the disappointment of defeat
two years ago, has worked with un-
firing energy for the cause of re-
pubicanism, never sulklng or hest
tating to perform any duty that was
entrusted to him. The fourth SEN
atorial candidate, Major Calvin
Hood, while not campaign speaker,
has, nevertheless, been active in a
quiet way, in promoting interests in
Republican success. His army of
business associates and friends have
been melted by him to vigorous
work in the Republican army. and
his liberal contributions to the cam
paign fund have been of material
assistance to the committee in the
conduct of the campaign. Although
in no sense a politician, Major
Hoods election to the senate would
be creditable to the state and con-
tribute materially in restoring our
credit and good name among the
great people of. the nation. His
wide acquaintance with the solid
business men Of the East and West
would give him an influence in the
senate that would be equal to that
Of Major Morrill, in the governors
chair.
With such an admiral field of
candidates from which to select a
representative, every republican in
the state should exert himself I'M
tiringly that republicans good and
true may be sent to the Legislature.
In some counties the contest IS SO
close that a single vote may deter
mine the result, so all will see the i'm
portance of having every republican
in the state cast his ballot. The
state ticket is now out of danger.
Earnest work during the present
month along proper lines will make
the legislature overwhelming repub-
lican.

Here is refreshing story of nine
teeDth century enlightenment that
comes from the little town of Salem,
o. A member of the Methodist con-
gregation, Howard Hughes by name,
dug well, bat not being able to find
water he declared that the well was
bewitched. One of his brethren, old
DR.. Hoff, after various lamentations,
told him that the evil spirit was Will
liam Culp, another member of the
church, and that the well would afford
no water during Culp's life. Hughes
raised great fuss about the matter,
taking it into the church. Strange to
say, the church people became divided
on the subject and the end is not yet.
The Hughes family and its followers
are considered very intelligent on
other subjects. A secret session of
the congregation was held, but no de-
termination of the question was
reached.

WHEN rings are sent to a jeweler for
repair he always cleans the stones and
surprises the owners by their bril-
liancy. The accumulation of dirt on
the under side of the diamond or other
transparent gems is SO slow that the
dulling of the stone is hardly noticed.
Usually they are cleaned, without re-
moval from their settings, with the
chewed ends of wooden toothpicks,
but they cannot be made entirely
bright without taking them out of
their clasps. The dirt that gets into
the space between the ring and the
stone is often as hard as clay.
