John Tone, father of Edward Tone,
arrived in the city n day last week
from Rec Heights, Hand county, this
state. He is seeking, we understand. n
new location, and is very favOrahly i'm
pressed with Union county. He re-
ports that the wheat crop in Hand
county will be very light owing to "a
number OF hot winds experienced while
the crop was in the process of
formation, thus shrinking and nearly
destroying it. Farmers in that section

The live stock editor of the Sioux
City journal has the following good
words to say of our candidate for gov
ernor: ''Mr. Ringsrud is one of the
old-time and faithful shippers to the
Sioux City market, and is a familiar
figure at the stock yards. He is one of
tina kind Of statesmen who are com
mon as an old shoe"-one who will sit
on the fence or sidewalk and discuss af-
fairs Of the state Or nation with Il farm
er Of laboring man or anyone else, and
therein lies his popularity. Many con-

Gettysburg Herald: The township
school board has engaged the services
of Prof. II. E. French OF Pierre as prin-
uipal of the Gettysburg schools for the
coming year at 800 per month. The
board believes il has secured the SER
vices of one of the foremost educators
of the state, and that we are able to
have a school that we car point to
with pride. Parties living outside the
township who desire to give their
children something more than the
country district advantages r invited
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY of sending
them to the town school, for which n
reasonable tuition will be charged.
In an article in The Leader two
weeks ago, T. w. Kyle, of Garryowen
we have not the pleasure of his ac-
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. unduly excited
over a clipping from the Toronto, Can,
Globe, which he calls a Conservative
paper. He states "but let US inform
the Globe man that the people Sound
money! who are carrying on this I've
mcnt are just such slum as that which
ousted the conservative party..in Can
ada a few weeks ago" MIR. Kyle
should become better posted. The
Globe is not a conservative paper. II
is the father OF the liberal movements.
and the greatest advocate of the liberal
party in Canada. The recent victory
in Canada of the liberals was due as
much TO the Globe us any one thing in
the campaign. So far as it's references
TO America and American policies are
concerned, it is not TO he presumed

papers in Canada vie with each other
in their choice of vigorous language
when referring to Americans. SO we
say that Bro. Kyle should read up n lit
