that those of you who attended the
Atlanta Exposition on South Carolina
day were not ashamed of the State or
it's exhibit. I am happy to inform
you that the State was awarded gold
medal for having the most comprehen-
sive State exhibit. I feel assured that
the State will be repaid many fold for
the investment: and Judging from the
letters of inquiry received by me dur
ing and since the close of the
exposition concerning the many
resources of our State, We have
already been repaid. The State Treas
urer and I feel that you will not hest
tate to endorse our action as being for
the best interests of the State and
assume the obligation. A movement
is on foot by the citizens of Chicago to
hold an exposition in that city in
September, 1896, to be known as the
Chicago and Southern States Cotton
Exposition. The object of the ex-
position is to show to the West the
extent of the development of manufac-
turing in the South and the natural
advantages possessed by the South for
further development in this Line, there
by encouraging direct trade between
The South and the West and union Of
these great agricultural sections for
mutual preservation. 1 am satisfied
the success of such an enterprise would
mean good deal for the South, and
especially South Carolina, which now
leads in the manufacture of cotton
goods. To this end I have directed
our exhibit to be shipped to Chicago,
with hope that it will be buta nucleus
of a grander exhibit to our entire re-
sources. I would suggest that sulta-
BILE resolutions be passed by your
body assuring the people of Chicago
of your appreciation of their efforts to
unite the two sections and of your
hearty cooperation in their work.

BraVely Spoken.

6. G. Gage, who is among Topeka's
wealthieet citizens, was called to
account by wealthy friend few
days ago because he is in favor of the
free coinage of silver.
"Can't you see," said his friend
"that it is not to your interest to
secure free coinage of silver. The
bonds you hold have trebled in value
in the last four years. Every dollar
represents three times as much IS it
did"
81 admit that is true," replied Mr..
Gage.
.sThen why do you persist in talk
ing against your own interests"
inquired the goidbug with a confident
air which indicated that he was about
to make a convert.

HOISINGTON COMMENTS.
From the Dispatch.


Mrs. Schilke gave farewell party
to few friends Monday evening.
The west end engines are draped
in mourning for Fireman Roedeck.
Lightning struck w. II. Halls
house last Wednesday night, broke
a window pane and tore up the car
pet. The oldest child was slightly
stunned.
Bert Baker, son of A H., has a
responsible position in a Hutchinson
bank and will soon be promoted to the
exchange window. Score one for the
Hoisington boy.
Two forged checks turned up at
the Hoisington State Bank this week.
One had D. w. Linder's name signed
to it and the other E. j. Everleigh's.
The Under check was drawn in favor
of F. T. Schooner for $21, was indor.
sed to Geo. Terrell of this place and
from him to the Brinkman bank.
The other was in favor of j. w. Nor
len for $12, was Endorsed to Bishop
& Co. of Great Bend, who deposited
it in the Brinkman bank. Both
checks came here through Kansas
City. From appearances, the same
one forged both checks. The body
of the checks and the first indorsemente
are written in pencil and the hand
writing is suspiciously similar. The
Terrell endorsement on the Lindel
check was written in ink with a new
pen, and it would take an expert te
decide whether that writing is the
same as the rest. The Bishop endorse'
ment was done with a rubber STAMP

Orrin 7. WEIGH, an ex-Topekan

city in New York, has written a let
ter to a friend here in which he makes
a somewhat startling statement con-
concerning the silver sentiment in
New York city.
Mr. Welch's letter reads: "Politics
is running high and silver is on top,
except with the money holder and
their subsidized newspapers. The
half paid and unemployed laborers

Jerry is Right.

Jerry Simpson is right i'll declaring
that the populists of Kansas will vote
for Bryan regardless of the action OF
the St. Louis convention. Mr. Bryan
represents the central idea of the pop
list political faith, and it would be the
rankest kind of Inconsistency for that
party not to support him with an

ardent democratic followers. If the
pops hold principles above political

prove it.-Larned Eagle-Optic.

Two weeks from next Tuesday you want to go to the polls, take an official ballot, go into one of the booths, out of sight of the curious throng, and make just one cross at the head of the column marked Republican" When you have done this and the ballot has been voted, you can go home with a clear conscience and the knowledge that you have assisted in securing good, economical government for the county for two years at least.
