oct' H. ........-............- 500
Here the CreSSet omits Morris Octo-
Der township allowance which IS $3.50.
Adding this amount to the Cresset's to-
tai we have, Morris, S243.l5. Adams,
so %. During this time Morris drew
from the county S264.00, Adams drew
$3.50. Total salary for Morris begin
ming with January 1894 and ending with
October 81, 1894, S507 Is. Total salary
for Adams beginning with January 1896
and ending withOctober q, 1896 ,S252 IS
Difference in Adams favor, 1854 40.
We submit that if it is right to omit
Morris October allowance, it
is equally right and fair to omit
Adams October allowance. The Cres-
set Is great hand to manipulate fig
ures, but even with its manipulatlons,
emitting Norris January and October
allowances, (which is uDfalr) we still
have a difference of $1S6 % in Adams
favor. That IS to say Adams practical
ly received S1S6 % less for ten months
work than Morris did for six months of
the same work.
Another good point that the Cresset
shows in Mr.. Adams favor is that the
total expense of the township was over
$3.50 more during Morris administra-
ton than during Adams and it might
have added that bridges and roads were
badly neglected by Morris but kept in
good shape by Adams. That is, town
ship affairs were managed better in '96
for less money than they were in '94.
The Cresset lays great stress upon
the fact that the tax levy was Increased
during Adams administration. What
does this show? 1t simply shows that
it is twice as hard for the people of
Medicine Lodge township to pay taxes
IN 1896 as it was in 1894. In other words
Only half as many people pay taxes now
as paid two years ago, consequently the
burden on the half paying taxes is
twice as great. If existing conditions
low prices, low wages, lack of employ
ment-continue two years longer it is
L
who are now paying taxes Will be pay
ing then. The Cresset errs again when
it says the township levy under Morris
in 1894 was only mills whereas the
Clerks books say it was 5. We submit
that the Clerks books, not the Cresset,
is the better authority.
After all it is not the trustee alone
who makes the levy. 1t lis the township
board consisting of the trustee, clerk
and treasurer. F. f. Read is the pres
ent township clerk and was at the time
the levy for 1896 was made. If the
Cresset desires to attach any blame to
Adams for the increased levy, Read
must bear One-third of it.
This thing of trying to attack town
ship or county board because of an in =
creased levy is the work of an ignora-
mus. Our debts, our bonds, our in
terest. our expense, however little it
may be, are all here and must be met
regardless OF the number of taxpayers.
The less number of taxpayers the great
er the levy.
The Cresset and bal Morris both ad-
nit that Adams has made the more
economical trustee as we'll as perfectly
ompetent one and in view of this fact
it becomes the duty of every voter in
the township to cast his vote for Mr.
Adams.

Last Friday Lutte Axline took anoth-
er ''jeeminy it' over the county print
ing. The physicians say that he had a
very pleasant dream the night before
in which he faucied himself back IN the
good old days of 'S4 to go when he had
uninterrupted possession of the county
printing at legal rates for five years
then he dreamed about the year 1894
when he had the same pleasant expert
ence; but here he was awakened and
was brought to the awful realization
that 1t was only a dream. To make
matters worse, instead of placidly &C
cepting the situati on as 1t was revealed
to him, he made his way to tie family
cupboard and "hlled up'' with prunes
The result can better be imagined than
described, but full knowledge of the
effect 1t had can be found in last week
Cresset. 1t was ludicrous but vet pa.
thetic, no mortal man ever suffered
such agony before and for a time 1t was
feared that he would have to be taken
to the imbecile asylum and there given
radical treatment. But presently |,
was suggested that Dr. Pitcher had
been succeeded by less skilled phvsl
clan and after careful diagnosis OF
the case it was concluded that the com.
0lned efforts of our local physicians
could save him. G. l.. and his friend
W., were there with the X-ray and at
ter the physicians had administered an
emetic and an additional potion caIcu
lated to soOthe the nerves, the invent.
ors adjusted the machine and examined
the internal organs, paying particular
attention to the liver. In few min.
utes w. whispered. to G.. l.. that the de.
sired effect was had and before the lat.
ter could announce it the patient began
to unload his stomach, relieving HIM
self of vast quantities of free goldbug
supplements, gold standard rot, undl-
gested pie eaten III 1894 ,republicanism
garbled figures and numerous other
things which were in such a decayed
condition that 1t was impossible to
make an intelligent analysis. Since
then he has been slowly improving and
If the election returns of next week can
be kept from him for eight or ten DAYS
he will recover without another attack.
However, if an indiscreet friend should
break the news to him before that time
we have our fears for the consequences.
He IS too weak to stand the shock and
should not be disturbed until he has re-
gained his strength.

In tho afternoon some of them wanted
John Williams Of this city to slide down

iiftecn men were upon pitcher Leach at
one time. He was struck in the face
about tho body, and had his head cut by

pairing for u Big Business.

pairing for II Big Business.
WASHINGTON, July 2l.-As one result of
the conference between Chairman Bah
cock, of the congressional committee, and
Mr.. Mark Hanna and Major Mckinley
last week tho scope of the work of tho
congressional committee is to be greatly
widcned during the coming campaign.
Tho Republican congressional commit
tee from this time on will perform more
work and in different fields than has ever
deyolved upon any previous congressional
committee. Mr.. Babcock's organization
will take charge of the literary feature of
the icampaigt1 entirely. The committee
in addition to supplying the various con-
gressional district committees throughout
the country with literature, speeches and
documents, will also furnish tho state CEN
tral committees in every state in the Union
with campaign material.
In the last campaign tho congressional
committee confined its labors to about u
hundred congressional districts, but in
this campaign 1t will widen its field of
operations to take in every place in the
United states where there is chance for
a contest.
Tho number of campaign documents
that will be sent out between now and next
November by the congressional commit
tee will reach into the millions From
one state alone an order has been received
for 1D,OOO documents, and there are u
number of orders for 100000 and 100000
The majority of these documents will
bear upon the financial question.
Tho Democratic congressional COM
mittce has beon little slower in beginning
work than the Republican committee, but
will push matters from this time on,
Chairman Faulkner reaching the city to-
day and taking hold of the work in earnest.
