"A well-informed Republican in.
forms us that already four Republic
an candidates for sheriff have been
scared out of the brush, and they
are in the race already. These four
candidates are John Dellinger,
chairman of the county central
committee Henry Earnest, Cephe
Miller and Chas Sinclair--the last
two from the southern part of the
county. Our informant says Frank
Brown has promised the nomination
to Cephe KILLER, in which case, he
says, there will be grand and
mighty kick. There are also
several candidates for the other Of
fees to be filled this coming fall.
LATER We have just been inform.
ed that there are nine candidates
out for sheriff, and more coming,
and that there will be whole herd
of hungry "redeemers" after each

A farmer once bought a COW of
his neighbor, for which he agreed
to pay him fifty bushels Of grain
either wheat or corn, they being
worth the same at that time. The
next year, it was very dry in the
spring, and wheat ran up in price
until it was worth twice as much as
corn, which stood at the same fig.
ure it did a year before. The
farmer, when his grain note came
due, proposed to pay it with fifty
bushels of corn, but the neighbor
of whom he bought the COW insist
ed that he would take nothing but
wheat, and denounced the farmer as
no better than thief for wanting
to pay him in dishonest grain" as
he termed the corn. He said no
one would ever trust the farmer
again unless he paid in the best
grain he could get, and that it was
repudiating half his debt to pay in
cheap grain. The farmer had lots
of corn, but very little wheat, the
man whom he owed having got
about all in the neighborhood into
his own hands; and, as corn would
buy just as much calico or sugar as
it ever would, he couldn't for the
life OF him see why it shouldn't be
worth just as much to pay debts
with. So he delivered the corn.
And that is about the way the
American people propose to settle
with the Shylocks, who are forever
telling how awfully dishonest it will
be if we pay in silver debts that are
by their express terms payable "in
COIN" Uncle Sam is honest, and
will pay his debts; but the fellows
who are trying to bunco him into
discrediting more than halt his
money supply will get left.-Star

Woman Doing What She Can.

clip the following from recent
issue of the Kansas City Star:
At Clyde Congregational church
last evening, the pastor, the Rev
John L. SewalI, preached a sermon
in commemoration of the first com
pleted year of the Ladies' Union, an
organization of the church which
unites all forms of woman's activ
ity. His text was from Mark IA
6-s: "Let her alone; why trouble
We her? Il She hath done
what she could"
"This," the preacher said, "was
the reply of Jesus to harsh crltl'
cism Of a grateful woman's loving
service. These words are more
than a defense; they are the magma
charta of woman's emancipation
History, which is the finger of God
still writing, is giving us the true
Interpretation of this saying. II
breathes a spirit which we should
feel, and states a principle which we
should understand. When Jesus
said approvingly of this woman,
She hath done what she could He
warranted us in saying of woman
to-day, She may and will do what
she can, aud must not be troubled
in so DOING"
After illustrating how this was
proving true in woman's entrance
into business life, the preacher con-
tinued:
1.-THE same principle, l am conf
dent, will hold good in the political
world. Is woman to vote and hold
Office Yes, if she can. By this |
mean that if the women of this land
as a whole discover that they are
able to give the time and attention
needed for the ballot and all that
accompanies it, and feel that they
can do good to the state by exercis-
ing those rights, they will receive
them forthwith. Woman hold Of
fice2 Why not? In Chicago a
woman, a most keen, practical phil
anthropist, has put in her bid for
cleaning the streets and if she
undertakes that task it is safe to say
that the streets will get such clean
ing as they have never had before.
Women in our city halls? In our
common councils? Why not? If
a woman's skill can make a great
hotel profitable, could not a woman
succeed in some OF the duties of
city officers? A stranger coming
into a meeting of our Ladies'
Union could select at random a
dozen women who would be
marvellous improvements on as
many men who are now in our city
legislatures, simply as students and
managers.
