and besides. as we intimated in the
beginning, it was nominated, princi-
pally, from force Of habit and not
with the view of doing any injury to
anybody. 1t will be innocent amuse-
ment for the candidates and in the
dim beyond they can tell their pos
terity that in the year 1895 they were
candidates and came very nearly get

The name of the proposed road is
the Atchison, Stockton & Denver
Railway company.
The charter says the road is to bc
built from Stockton, Kansas, to y
point on the Union Pacific near Hill
City, and then west to the state line
on to Denver.
As Stockton is now the terminus CT
the Central branch, a Missouri Pacific
line, this has an appearance of Mis-
souri, Pacific scheme.
The company is to be capitalized at
81, 900. 900, and the stock is to be sold
at 800 d share.
The directors named in the charter
for the first year are: A. j.

Principal Mrs. Lucy Best attended
the Cove County Teachers association
which convened at Cove City last
Saturday, having been invited by the
county superintendent to deliver an
address on the subject, 1.-THE County
High School," Mrs. Best is thorough
ly familiar with every phase of this
question and speaks from actual know
edge of the superior advantages of
this institution.
There is some dissatisfaction mani
tested over the operation of our fire
guard law and some favor it's repeal.
1t is true that it has been costly here
tOfore and that useless expense has
been incurred in many instances, but
we do not believe in running the risk
of having our prairies destroyed every
year by fire. There is nothing more
injurious and nothing that would re-
tard our growth and prosperity more
than extensive and destructive prairie
fires every year and they are sure to
occur il precautions are not taken.
It is sometimes both pleasing and
profitable to take retrospective
view. In comparing our county with
the conditions prevailing year ago
there is much for which to be CRATE
full. While our people have not be-
come wealthy they are better off than
they were year ago and are feeling
much encouraged. Irrigation has
come to stay and in very few years
every farmer will have plant. East
ern people are making inquiries for
farming lands and immigration will
again turn in this direction and it will
not be the class who came in 1885 but
it will be those who understanding
the conditions will conform to them
and will be permanent citizens.

School Notes.

A number of new pupils have en-
rolled in the schools in the past week.
We are glad to note that Joe Sigler
is able to be in school again.
Miss Ida Rogers enrolled as pupil
in the high school Monday.
John and Frank Wonner have been
out of school for few days on account
of threshing.
Mrs. Jessie Taylor, one of Trego
county'S teachers, was welcome Wis
itor on Wednesday.
Pupils of the Grammar room have
joined with the high school in the
literary work.
Wa-Keeney schools are supplied
with an excellent library and the pu-
pills are making good use of the refer
ence books as well as the literary
works.
The new sidewalk and steps recent
ly placed at the south entrance OF the
school building is a great improve
ment and is much appreciated by
both teachers and pupils.
Four of the pupils of the high
school hold teachers certificates. To
this number should be added the
names of every unemployed teacher in
the county who wishes to advance
along the line Of his chosen profession.
The Wa-Keeney Literary associa-
tion held it's first session on Friday
afternoon. The committee on consti-
tuition and bylaws made it's report
and, after a brief discussion and few
notifications, it was adopted. The
program which consisted of a number
of excellent recitations, interspersed
with good music, was then rendered.
All present were well pleased with
the first and third Fridays of each
month. 1t is the purpose of the asso-
citation to hold open meetings occa-
sionally to which the public will be in
Yited.

Populists Meet and Nominate Mongrel
Ticket


The Populists of Trego county met
at the court house last Saturday &C
cording to habit and proceeded to
nominate ticket.
Henry Hobbick was elected chair
man and, as usual, Ben. G: Rich was
elected secretary. And, we might
add, that Ben was chairman and sec
rotary as he did most of the talking.
A delegate informed us that this was
done SO as to keep him still, but it
did not work as he had more to say
than anybody. When "Windy Ben"
can't talk physician should be called
Immediately to avoid an explosion.
Ben looked very pretty in his skull
cap and spectacles and it was almost
pathetic to see the ears and mouths
of the average pop open when Ben
had something to say which, as before
intimated, was nearly all the time.
"Windy Ben" opposed the nominal
tion of Ufford for clerk on the ground
that he was not pop, but the bal
ance of the convention evidently
thought and went so far as to say that
there was better material outside of
the party than in it and would not
listen. "Uncle Josh" also opposed
Ufford. George NJ. Ufford, a demo-
crat, was nominated for county clerk.
E. D. Wheeler wanted clerk, but
was not incOnsOlable when the con-
vention favored him with the empty
honor of a nomination for county
treasurer. This was a pop nomination,
Mr.. Wheeler having been a very
strong pop ever since he tried for the
nomination for county treasurer on
the republican ticket and was de-
feated.
AS was expected, S. L. Shorthill
claimed another inning and was nomi-
mated for register of deed. Mr.. Short
hill is a chronic candidate, although
he belongs to the party which pro-
fesses to believe that the office should
seek the man. We have never seen
this idea exemplified so clearly as in
the case of Mr.. Shorthill. The peril
nancy with which the different offices
have chased him, for the last four or
five years, is something remarkable.
q. w. Lynn, of the south side, was
the nominee for sheriff. We don't
know Mr.. Lynn and have been unable
to find anybody who does, and we
therefore conclude that he is unknown
to fame, man without a record. This
may be very much to his advantage or
it may not.
Hudson Harlan, a republican, was
nominated for surveyor. This was
brought about, we presume, because
it requires some book learning to
survey. Anybody can stand on the
corner and talk ''feenance" but it re-
quireS something more to run a
straight line and so the convention
dipped over into the Republican party
and bodily and with force and arms
seized Mr. Harlan and placed him on
their ticket.
The names of w. G. Olson and
Joshua MuSgraye were presented for
coroner. Mr.. Olson was not present
to look after his interests and he
failed to tally. Mr.. Musgraye, in a
neat speech, declined and it was then
decided that as the place didn't
amount to anything it would be left
vacant.
Personally we have nothing to say
against the ticket. 1t is composed,
for the most part, of fairly good men

Nineteenth Century Club.

Ii has been many long years since wr used to participate in the spelling match This good, old-fashionpd and instructive pastime has almost entirely disappeared from the modern school rnotn. but there are those who remem. her with great deal of pleasure the halcyoa days ot the spelling bee.n We are reminded of those days by a part of the programme of entertainment prepared by Mrs. N. W. Norton for thr pleasure of the Nineteenth Ceptu. " Club, which held an informal meet ing at her lovely home Wednesday night.
 The members "chose up sides, after the fashion of spelling match, Mrs. Ellis Turiey on the one sside and Dr. C.C White on the other. Then in. stead of spelling. the teacher" Mrs. Norton. gave ont quotations from Shakespeare. which the "scholars'' were required to locate-giving name of character uttering same and title of play. It WAS very war of intellpcts. 'hotly contested and fercely waged , fer prize, which WAS won hy Dr Whites side" The prize was d hand. some cup and saucer.
 Another novel feature of the enter. tainment was .'guber hunt.n Pea. nuts were hidden in every nook and corner and prize offered to the one who should discover the largest uum. Der. Miss Alice Rollwage was the successful competitor in this race. She received beautiful hand painted china plaque.
 Mrs. W. II. Alley added materially to the pleasures of the evening by 4 charming recitation.
 Music by Mesdames w. German and $. II Mann. and other pleasant expe- riences, caused the hours to rapidly slip away.
 Dainty and elegant refreshments were served. and another has been added to the many obligations which her numerous guests feel for the many delightful occasions spent in this happy home.
