Matteson's Pretty Picture.

The Pops claim to be a farmer
party and sticklers for simplicity yet
Billy Matteson, their candidate for
treasurer, has this week had his
picture put in the Monitor. 1t tshows
him dressed in a dude collar, white
tie, tooth pick shoes, dress suit, kid
gloves and fashionable ball room ap-
parel. 1t will be funny to see the
horny handed farmers cuss when they
see what sort Of society blossom
Billy claims to be. He ought to have
hidden that picture in the depth of
the back yard until after election.
When he borrows an old suit, a
rough hat and pair Of cowhide boots
and goes out electioneering they are
likely to pull on him the picture that
shows how he dresses when in town.
Billy is pretty, awful pretty, and
stylish as Ward McAllister ever
thought Of being-but just think how
kid gloves and spike-tailed coat will
look in connection with a ''farmer"
candidate.

That Old Insurance Scheme.

Ex-Auditor Of State Thoman died
the other day in st, Louis. The Kan
sas City Gazette says: "He will be
longer remembered for an insurance
scheme he worked in Dickinson and
Geary counties than for all things
else in his life put together. When
he was auditor of the state he organ
lied an insurance company and he got
some twenty or twenty-five German
farmers on Lyons creek to take stock
from $4,000 to $4,000 each. They
paid for the stock by giving mort
cages on their farms. The mortgages
were sold to bankers we think in St.
Louis. The insurance stock was
worthless and the mortgages became
due. He cleaned that little valley
out Of forty or fifty thousand dollars.
The victims all worked out and saved
their farms but they were years tit" :"

he said in reply to aquestion. "Just
now the price Of cows has gone up so
that it is beyond what the price Of
butter justifes. Cows will have to
come down or butter will have to 90
up. That is, however, only tempor-
ary. My estimate is that the prod

STRYKER REvERSES AGAIN.
Says He Did Not Know the Law on
Certificates.

A few days ago State Supt. Stryker
issued an order that applicants for
third grade certificates must have an
average on examination Of 50 per
cent, the same as second grade and
Supt. Humbargar gave notice that
such would be the rule. But there
was lot Of kicking and today Mr..
Humbargar received a letter from
Stryker in which he says: 81 did not
know there was statute on the sub
iect but when compiled the new
laws found that the average for
third grade certificates is fixed at 10
per cent. Hence the rule will be the
same as before: Average 70, mini
mum CO."
As the statute referred to was pass
ed in 1885 Stryker evidently does not
know much about his business. 1t is,
however, about as much as anybody
expected from the Populist admins
tratlon.

MISS sEYMouR's SUCCESS.
The Abilene Girl Who Is Posing for
Artists.

The State Journal has elaborated
the REFLECTOR's item about Elinor
Seymour being an artists model into
a half column. 1t says she is thus
working her way through an art
school and adds some incidents con-
cerning her life in Dickinson county.
Ed Little probably furnished the in.
formation.
The article says; Miss Seymour,
like many other young people, was
confronted with the problem Of how
to get through school, evincing a
strong desire to study art in New
York. She hesitated, however, be-
tween literary career as a newspa-
per woman and the school of art. In
her desperation she called upon an in
innate friend and unfolded her plans,
asking advice.
"Your face is your fortune" he
said to her. ''You would better 90
to New York and marry a rich hus
band while you are young and pretty"
1t was finally decided that Miss Sey-
mour should study art
She went to New York from where
she recently wrote her friend;
"As you said, my face is my for
tune, but not in the way which you
suggested. By means Of sittings for
artists here have been able to pay
my way in school, but at the same
time have been permitted to keep up
my work. So you see | am not an ar.
lists model in the full sense of the
term"
Going to New York Miss Seymour
at once took a high place in her
classes. The question of means was
one which constantly agitated her
mind and when she was requested by
some Of the leading artists Of this
country to sit for them she gladly ac-
cepted.
While posing for the advantages Of
her beautiful head and shoulders,
Miss Seymour has come in contact
with the most famous painters and
artists Of the country and writes that
she is indebted to them for many val
liable suggestions and assistance in
her work. Miss Seymour is quite
clever in writing also.
