 In the line of sheet music, musical in- struments and merchandise, school books and supplies, artist materials, pictures, frames and novelties, the little store around the corner at 3l John street, Bridgeport, known as Northrop's Art and Music Store, takes the lead, both in quality of the goods and low prices. You can buy sheet music usually sold for 40 cents to S1.50 for five cents. If you use music write for catalogue. Ifyou have any school books that you are through with, take them there and exchange them for others, or anything in the store that you wish.

WHITE HILLS.

WHITE HILLS.
 A very handsome sarcophagus monu- ment has recently been placed in the Lower White Hills cemetery by William R. Miles of Danbury. MT Miles recently purchased the first lot near the gate in the cemetery and it is here that the at tractive monument has been placed. It is composed of two granite bases with a slate die and cap, and is new, neat and novel departure from the old style of stone. MT Miles had the monument cut at his Danbury yard. His idea in hav- ing slate die was because he had noticed how much more distinct and well preserved names were on the old slate stones in several cemeteries than they were on granite or other solid stones the slate does not seem to be affected by the atmosphere. The lot is marked out at each corner with neat markers having the letter "M." and small head stones also marh the graves of his two children, who are buried in the plot, Winnie and Eddie.

A Kansas City, Kansas, minister
preached yesterday on the Chris
tan at the primary and called on
his flock to attend primaries. I'm
ill the preachers advice is needed,
not merely in Wyandotte county,
but all over the nation, there will be
little Improvement in the admins
tration of affairs. The trouble just
now is that the Christian lays aside
his precepts and forgets MS great
example when he enters the voting
booth. The "good fellow" gets his
vote and the "slick politics" gets
his endorsement. He helps his par
ty in the hope that some day his
party may help him, and lets his
country and his God" shift for
themselves as a result, a corpora
ton of office holders runs the land,
and the chief end of man is to get
in office or stay III office for the en-
oluments of office, while public bus
mess goes from bad to worse.

citizenship, and nothing else Kan

STILL THEY COME.
Some Brown County Converts to
the Peoples Party.

Last week we published list of
a few Kansans and others who had
cast their lot with the Peoples par
ty. Below we give some nearer
home who will vote with that party
this fall.
H. F. Mellenbruch, of Walnut
township, one of the most progress
i've Democrats in Brown county,
announced some weeks ago through
his regular weekly correspondence
in the Democrat that he had decid-
ed to affiliate with the Populists.
He was delegate to their last coun'
ty convention, and was sent as a
delegate to the congressional con-
vention.
Fred Zimmerman, one of the best
informed of Brown county's many
excellent German citizent, will vote
the Populist ticket this fall for the
first time. The suffrage plank in
the platform did it, and yet we are
cold that the Germans are against
woman suffrage. Mr. Zimmerman
makes one exception, and will vote
for Maj. Morrill, on account OF per-
sonal friendship. Mr.. Zimmerman
has always been a Republican.
James Hudgens, member OF the
Democratic county central commit
tee from Baker precinct, says, Il
attended the last Democratic con-
vention with reluctance. | do not
intend to go again. | indorse the
change the Democrat has made, and
if l were in politics would help you
in the fight"
John A. Mcclure, a former Re-
publican, says: al said that it the
Populists declared for woman sui
frage would vote their ticket.
meant it.
Col. E. Bierer, who has been
prominent in Democratic circles for
nearly 20 years, and has made the
race for congress twice on that
ticket in this district, comes out
sauarely for the Populist ticket.
CIV. Simmons, Democratic cen
trail committeeman from Hiawatha
township, strikes out squarely, as
he always does. He says, 81 have
made up my mind to vote for Lew
