The Mulvane Record is making a
great howl because the commission
ers have built few bridges across
Slate creek and because a bridge it
wants has not been built across the
Arkansas near that place. Reed may
have kick coming, but no bridges
have been abuilt across Slate creek
that were not badly eded.-Conway

ing to the governor the claims of Orie
Morse for the wardenship of the state
penitentiary. They were most cOrdi-
ally received and feel quite confident
that Mr.. Morse will secure the ap-
pOintment. His list Of endorsements
is said to be the finest presented to
the governor by any candidate for the
place. The appointment, however,
will not be made until the charges

Word has been received from the
pOStOffiCe department that the name
OF our poStOfice has been changed from
Geuda Springs to "Geuda" for the
sake of breyity. The change does
not meet with general satiSfactian as
it virtually destroys the euphonious
name of our city. 1t is a high handed |
outrage to have the legal designation |
OF a town altered to crafty the fool
ish whim of a postmaster general. |
While it may be a little trouble for
ne postal clerks to decipher the su-
Prescriptions on the letters and papers
addressed to this office, it will be
tgreater hardship for our people to
suffer the inconvenience of using one
designation for the town and another

will nave to bow in humble SubmiS-
sion to the powers that be.-Gueda

FOrney Monday and found that gen.
tleman buried to the eyebrows in
work. That Mr.. FOrney is one of the
hardest working and most influential

not in session at the time, but we
heard many voluntary words of CON-
mendatiOn for MeSSrS. SimOnS and
who are credited with
good judgment and great in
dustry. Our people have only to visit
Topeka to learn that Sumner county
is fast acquiring the prestige she Is en-
titled to as one of the most important
among the counties of the state, and
that that result is largely due to the
practical work of her legislative men,
bers. Really one can announce him
