They Say.

The Ohio contingent at st.
Louis was not sin it.
It had nothing to do but look
wise.
Wise men often look foolish and
fools generally look wise.
Tho more ignorant some people
are. the wiser they look.
If takes the fool to look wise.
Pea-cocks are dressed up in the
head and body, but never look at
their feet.
Why are some men IN office more
dressy than others
Because they hold inferior po-
sitions and must wear something
to give them an air Of Importance
Major Mckinley will play a
strong card.
The BEE leads and all other pa
pers follow.
The BEE has the largest clrcula-
tion of any five Afro-Amerlcan
journals in the country.
There is no other Afro-Amerlcan

Things work in mysterious way,
Montgomery will never remain at
the head of our High School.
You just wait and see how it will
be done.
Things work in a mysterious way
sometimes.
1t is very hard for person Of
brains to be subjected to mediocre
ability.
The tail will wag the head in the
High School.
The teachers are iubilant that he
is gone.
He could not discipline what he
had what can he do with what he
has gotten now
Trustees Shadd and Cornish will
not put the enemy on top when they
have a worthy and deserving friend.
Strange how some men will flat
ter the enemy.
The presumption was that Trus-
tee Bruce got enough of that under
Harrison.
When our friends are true we
should defend them.
DIR. Shadd has an opinion of his
own.
The Commissioners could not
keep better man on the school
board.
The greatest men in this country
are those who do great deeds.
The High School will present
peculiar spectacle shortly.
What part will Afro-Americans
play in the 21st Century
They certainly will not own rail
roads nnless they build them in the
air.
The ground will be monopolized
by white people.
The greatest fool in the world is
the man who doesn't know when
he has enough.

Lacey would make record If he

Nemaha Countz PolitIcs.

SABETHA, March 4.-The friends of
Judge BrOderick in this section are
elated over the result of the primaries
throughout the First congressional dis
trict, feeling that they fired the first gun
by carrying the banner Republican pre-
cinct in Nemaha county against Bailey.
Nemaha county is entitled to the senator
this year, and there are already four can
didates mentioned: E. Holtzschue, of
Sabetha; Representative G, W. John
son, of Seneca; C. c. K. Scoville, of
Seneca; and A. l.. Coleman, of Centralia-
Ira F. Collins, of Sabetha, has also been
mentioned in connection with the nomi-
nation. But as Mr.. Collins was Bailey
man and was defeated as a delegate to
the county convention at the recent eau
Gus, he is not a candidate. Commissioner
Myrick would like to go to the legislature
to succeed Granderson Johnson. Senti-
ment is divided here between Morrill, and
Troutman. Both have many staunch
supporters.

Newton Has Joke on Chester
l. Long.
Several Tons of MOuldy Books
Sent as presents"
SOME PEOPLE RECEIVE
The Part of One Set of Re-
3. ports
Mixed With Another-NewtOn
is Quite Overcome.

NEWTON, March 4-Chester /. Long
has remembered his Kansas constituents
The local postoff1ce received almost tons
of rare old books yesterday that were adj
dressed to the prominent people of the
town. They consisted of reports of the
secretaries, profusely illustrated with
maps and charts of the atmosphere Some
people received three parts of the seven
teenth volums and othe rs received the
seventeenth part of the third vol umes.
Perhaps the books were sent out as
specimens of the work done at the gov
erument printing office, or for kindllng
wood. The best evidence that they were
mailed for scientific purposes is the fact
that they were covered with mould, the
result of having lain in the printing
vaults at Washington for years
The sending of different parts of the
same volume and different volumes of
he same set to different people will also
cultivate a brotherly feeling among the
people in organizing societies wherein
all the books of the same subject may be
gotten into one club, and by judicious
interchange of volumes, all may become
acquainted with what the secretaries of
the departments reported as current
events five or ten years ago.
The editor of the Newton Republican
says in his paper: Thank you, Chester,
for our copy of the third part of the fifth
volume of the report of the secretary of
war along about seven years ago. We
tare willing, however, unless you posi-
lively refuse to exchange goods, to trade
it for that more ancient but perhaps more
readable document, the Monroe doc

Open With a Cake Walk.
There is to be another athletic enter
tainment in Topeka to close the season,
and it will be held at Hamilton hall on
March 10Th, under the management of
local patrons of the ring.
The bouts will be lively ones, but none
are to continue more than six rounds, and
this will prevent any appearance of a
prize fight.
The entertainment is to be preceded
by a cake walk and buck dancing con-
test.
"The Icelander," who formerly lived
in Topeka, and who was known as the
Terrible Swede," will be here, and will
box six rounds with Prof. Hayden, in the
heavy weight class.
G. Bennett and Joe Feiderling, middle
weights will box six rounds. Feiderling
is we'll known among the patrons of the
fistic art in Topeka.
Harper of Lawrence and Austin of
Topeka will box six rounds and Frank
Tucker will be given an opportunity to
try his science aud strength on Hun
Youngman. Wade Watts is to box six
rounds with a featherweight from Kan
sas City named Evans, and Jim Finney
is to go six rounds with Bob Hall.
There is also a wrestling match be-
tween Scotty Kane and a foreigner

Holds Court First Time in Two Years
Makes Important Notice.
WICHITA. March 4.-Judge Foster is
presiding over the United States court in
this city for the first time in two years.
He was given hearty welcome by the
attorneys
Judge Foster gave notice that he
would pass upon no motions to confirm
sales of real estate sold under mortgage
foreclosure in which exceptions are filed
under the eighteen months redemption
law until the decision of Judge Martin
has been passed upon by the United
States supreme court.
Some good legal authorities claim that
the law allowing eighteen months in
which to redeem homestead sold under
mortgage foreclosure could only apply
to mortgages drawn after the law became
operative. but Judge Martin ruled that
the law referred to all cases and the case
was taken to the supreme court on that
point. There are doubtless thousands of
people in Kansas who hope that the su-
preme court will sustain Judge Martin.

Gear Elected Captain and Todd Manager
Prospects are Bright.
The Kansas State university base ball
team this season promises to be an ex-
cellent one, for there is an abundance of
good material on hand to select from.
positions. Practice has already begun
on the McCook athletic field.
The exhibition games have been ar
ranged-one with the Kansas City Blues,
and one with the Omaha club. One of
the games will be played at Lawrence.
d. D. Gear has been elected captain
of the team, He was the star pitcher of
last springs Varsity team, and later of
the Winfield league club. He made
quite a reputation as pitcher with the
Winfield club D. D. Gears home is
in Greeley, Kansas.
Wagner, of last seasons team, will
probably be the substitute pitcher. Two
promising men are trying for the posi-
ton behind the bat They are Tom Har-
ley and w. J. Squires Johnny Out
land the brilliant halfback of the 80 foot
ball team, will probably hold third base,
and he can catch behind the bat should
he be needed.
Rolla Mitchell at first base and Luther
Todd at shortstop, are pretty sure of their
positions There are at least seven men
who want to play in the field. Most of
the contestants have been doing good
work in the gymnasium all winter, and
they are in good shape for the seasons
playing.
There is an increased interest being
taken in base ball this year by the stu
dents and townspeople, and from the
present outlook it would seem that with
the careful training of Captain Gear,
Kansas will stand good chance of win
ming in the interstate collegiate games,
