strong.
The Popullsts of LesVenWorth county
have nominated the following ticket:
Senator, w. A. Harris; Attorney, j. Fl.
Wendorff; Probate Judge, L. Hswn;
Clerk, James Gray; Superintendent,
Martin Howard; Representative Eighth
district, Horace Keefer. The same
ticket has been named by the Demo

unanimously amid tremendous sp.
plause.
The Republicans are not highly
elsted over the speeches being made
by some of the National committees
importstions. Stephen A. Douglas,
who is the son of his father, is one who

The idea of the National committee
seems to be that anyone can talk to a
Kansas crowd. That idea would be all
right If SO many Populists did not
figure in the crowds.
The attention of the Topeka Capital,
Meriden Ledger and lot of other Re-
publican sheets that persist in sttrib-
uting extracts from the Omaha World
Herald published in 1892 and 1893 to
Bryan, is called to the fact that Hon.
William j. Bryan was not editor Of
that paper or in any way, shape or
form responsible for its uttersnCes
prior to March 4, 1894, and for some
time after that date. Why not be
reasonably decent about such things?
The following ticket has been named
by the silver forces in Doniphsn
county: Representative, r. W. Elliott;
Clerk of the Court, Harry Hsrring-
ton; Probate Judge, Wesley TrsVett;
Attorney, j. G. johnson. Elliott is o
Populist, Harrington free silver Re-
publican and the others are Democrats.
The convention was very harmonious
and was addressed by Ed G. Little.
The court room was crowded. Mr..
Elliott is a rustler, and If anyone can
be elected in Doniphsn he can.
The levy of per cent. a month for q
year assessment, payable out Of the
October l salary, has created quite q
stir at the Topeka Asylum. This as
sessment Is for the benefit of the Re
publican State committee. The average
wages paid employees at this institution
Is 1922 per month, and it Is robbery to
deduct 5 per cent. from that amount.
II employees who ar in sympathy with
the party in power choose to contribute
to the campaign fund, that is all right;
but an assessment is another thing.
The POpulists Of Phillips county
have nominated a splendid ticket. 1t
bears the following names: Repre-
sentative, G. Fl. Turner; Clerk, S. G.
Lands; Attorney, Frank Stinson; Pro-
bate Judge, J. H. Ham; Superintend-

TIVE of the three excellent Populist
papers of that county are fittingly rec

publican. The ticket should receive
majority Of the votes Of Phillips

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constttu- tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in- famed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed for ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by ca tarrh, which is nothing but an inf1amed cOndf- ti0n of the mucous surfaces.

We must stop this fight somehow and win the gratitude of the merchants, who are starving to death these timess and who, by the way, are the right sort of people to keep ill with. "
 ''More than that" said Philip sol emnly, Eve shall do right, and think the iron is hot. So just hit it lick for luck.
 Brayton did hit it, not only once, but daily. He favored the workingmen all the way through, and he did it because he believed they were right. He pointed out to them, however, the foolishness of prolonging a self destroying battle. and urged them to treat for compro mise. To the employers he held up the enormity of robbing their help, who morally, if not legally, were their part ners and entitled to fair share of the profits of the various factories now idle. He pointed out the great damage to the city and the city's real estate and mer- cantile interests, and not only called for a truce, but skillfully pointed out the best method of effecting one. His arti cles were read, and everybody except the active participants ill the struggle began to talk of the wise policy of The Blade Later the employees began to read and think-a' thing many had nev- or attempted before-and The Blades list began to increase with astonishing rapidity, while sympathetic merchants took advertisements from The Standard and The News "to give to the only sen sible paper in the city" In short, Blade stock took a great jump, and within 30 days the strike had ended. the working men having gained important conces- sions, which were of more real value to them than an entire victory would have been.
 The end of the strike found The Standard in very shallow water and The News sinking money at a rate that even it's millionaire proprietor did not relish. As an evidence of his good faith at the opening of the combined war on The Blade, Sawtelle had lent the proprietor of The Standard $15, 1000 ill cash, and under the advice of the lender this large sum had been mainly expended ill show. At the conclusion of the strike The Standard was in need of $15, ,OOO more, and so badly in need of it that Booled was compelled to give Sawtelle, who exacted it, realty mortgage for $15, 900 on The Standards building and $15, 900 chattel mortgage on its plant as securi ty for the $50, 900 cash advanced to pull Sawtelle's redhot chestnuts from very warm fire. Thus matters stood when a stroke of lightning from an apparently clear sky struck an unexpected object ill an unexl ected way and startled the city as even the Sawtelle murder had not done.

southbound engine telescoped into the

car It did not leave the track but
was almost totally wrecked. Baggage
and Express Messenger w. D. Lines
and Mail Agent Il. A. Thomas were
pinioned in the wreck, which caught
fire fromSthe coal oil lamps. The crews
of both trains, who were uninjured,
spread so rapidly that, though the res
cuers were stimulated by the piteous
appeals of the two men, they could
do nothing to aid the two unfortunates,
who were roasted to death. Flagman
Ulmer was standing between the sec
ond-lass and baggage cars, and he is
supposed to have been burned to death
also. Two cars were consumed, but no
passengers were injured. The north
bound train was not damaged further
than the smashing Of the express car.

There is some formality to be gone

A bond must be prepared and forward

of the postmaster general. When that

become Postmaster Smith. 1t will prob

change will be made.
Capt Castle had less trouble getting

delay The nomination was sent to the
senate Feb. 3. 1892, and, contrary to
