He moves about among the groups, but

LOGAN.

August was the anniversary OF the
marriage Of Rev G. W. Hood and
wife and marked the twenty-ninth
milestone. Rev. Mr. Hood is pastor
OF the M. II. church at Logan. Mon
day August 3, occurred the forty sixth
birthday of Mrs. Hood. These events
following each other 80 closely the
friends Of the worthy couple could
not allow to pass unnoticed, A sur
prise was planned and successfully
executed. Monday afternoon wagons
and other vehicles might be seen roll
ing up to the parsonage laden not
only with old soldiers and their fami-
lies but with baskets and other recep-
tacles filled to the brlm with tooth
some edibles. The ladies Of the
house probably may have had some
inkling of what was in store but the
Elder was completely surprised.
There was no way however but to
submit to the inevitable for the in
vading host numbering nearly 100
had obtained possession and held it
to the end. 1t was a representative
assemblage Of comrades with their
wives and invited guests met together
as an earnest tribute to Rev. q. w,
Hood wife and family who are held
in high estimation by all. After in
Productions, congratulations, and a
season Of mutual enjoyment the
tables we're spead upon the lawn east
of the parsonage, An old veteran re,
marked sit was an elegant supper
aud as participant your correspon-
dent fully corroborates that opinion,
The coffee reminded veterans of
camp life being Of sufficient strength
and quality to test the nerves Of the
strongest. Besides the supper re-
freshments simple and inviting were
furnished in abundance. 1t was one
of those quiet affairs free from osten-
tation where every one enjoyed them
selves. The shadows were lengthen-
ing when the company dispensed
happy in the incidents and recollec-
tions of the day. In this connection
special mention should be made of |
the Logan JUNIOR Band who furnish
ed the music. This band is compos-
ed of lads from 8 to 16 years of age
under the leadership of George Han
sen and their rendition would put to
blush organizations of larger and |
older growth. Excellent in deport-
ment their enliyening strains during
the afternoon added much to the in
terest Of the occasion.
Monday next, August II, occurs the
twentieth anniversary of the marriage
Of W. A. Reeder and wife for which
q large number of invitations have
been issued. The China wedding
promises to be grand affair Of which
you readers will be duly informed.

The Republican Convention.

The republicans at their state con-
vention Tuesday nominated the fol-
lowing ticket for state officers:
Chief Justice II f Carver, Salina.
Governor-E N Morrill,, Hiawatha.
Lieutenant Governor-H Il Rich
ter, Council Grove.
Secretary OF State-W @ Edwards,
Larnard.
State Auditor--G George e Cole, Cir
ard.
State Treasurer L Anterior,
Russell.
State Superintendent-E Stanley,
Lawrence.
Attorney Generate B Dawes.
Congressman at Larger W Blue,
Plessanton.
The ticket ia made up mainly Of the
present state officers with the excep-
ton Of Messrs. Carver and Richter.
Mr.. Carver defeating Judge Martin
the present incumbent.
The most sensational political topic
on the street today says the Topeka
Journal, and among the crowds Of
republican delegates who remain in
the city is the turning down Of Chief
Justice Martin by the convention and
the nomination Of +. Carver.
The turning down of Martin it is
conceded is the result of determin-
ed and organized effort on the part of
certain interests in the state,
1t was not so much his free silver
record that defeated Judge Martin,
but his decisions adverse to mortgage
and loan companies and against rail-
road interests.
Certain railroad interests rallied
against Martin. Mr.. M. A. Low, gen.
eral attorney for the Rock Island, was
present in the lobby Of the Copeland
during the days preceding the conven-
ton and made an open fight against
Martin. Mr.. Low is bold age ressive
fighter, and his warfare was open and
The real situation was
revealed in meeting that occurred
in the Copeland hotel the day before
The convention.
Martin went to Low and suggested
in his quiet way that Low was making
an unjust fight on him.
"Not at all, Judge Martini" Low
SAID, looking him frankly in the face,
II do not regard you as safe man on
the bench" Low spoke respectfully,
but 80 coldly as to chill Chief Justice
who, bowling 10 his dignifed
way, said: Very we'll, / guess we
will have to get along without you"
Mr.. Richter was nominated for lieu
tenant governor on the second ballot.
The populists have no espescla
fault to find with Mr.. Martins defeat,
aS this action will drive from the re-
publican party, MANY men who favor
free silver, as MI Martin is in full
sympathy with the silver movement. |

"FIAT MONEY CRANK"

But q Judge NJ me United States Circuit Court
Of Appeals,
Money as a measure OF value and a
legal tender in the payment Of debts
is a creation of the lsw. It may be of
gold, silver, copper, paper, or any
other substance; but Of whatever sub
stance made, it's value as a circulating
medium and o legal tender in pay
ment of debts 10 derived from the
laws Of man and not from the laws of
nature. The supreme court of the
United States has decided that con-
gress has power to make money out
OF paper, and make that paper a legal
tender ia payment Ct debts. The
grant OF power C6 congress not only
includes the power to ''ceia Eaopey,'
dut also to regulate the value there.
Of" The present standard silver dol
lar is q legal tender in payment of
debts for 100 cents Oh the dollar, and
yet until The recent rise in silver bIl-
lion it contained less than 80 cents
worth OF silyor. The material of
which a $1,000 legal tender note is
composed is not rs valuable a. en-
ounce Of cotton or m ear OF corn. 1t
derives its value trom tho law, which
makes il legal tender In payment Of
debt for the amount expressed Oh its
faGs. Gold and silver IN bullion, or
in spoSas, plates, or ornaments, is not
money. Ia al these shapes gold and
silver are mere commodities to be
bought and sold in the market like
c0tt9li or any other commodity. It
must be ,seiRsd by the government,
