nent in the counsels Of the party, bat
has never held an elective office. The
long continued crop failures in west
ern Kansas forced him to hunt new
location, and he came to Prowers
county in 1895. He has been in bus
mess here ever since, and has made
many friends as his unanimous nom
ination for SO important an office will
attest.
For the office of sheriff the repub-
licans have placed before the people
that tried and true citizen Frank
Kelsey. He is one OF the Lamar pi-
oneers having come here from Indi-
ana in 1886 when Lamar was an in
fant and has remained through all
the ups and downs of its career. He
has proven his ability to perform the
duties of the office of sheriff both by
his services as soldier of his coun-
try in the years of its greatest dan
ger and as police officer of the town
of Lamar for several years. In the
the latter capacity he proved himself
terror to lawbreakers. He can be
counted upon to do his duty fearless.
ly under all circumstances.
Jesse NJ Wright, whom the repub-
lican convention named for commits
sioner, is another Hoosier having
been born in Greencastle, Indiana, in
lS49. He moved to Iowa in 1871
when young mao, and after fifteen
years residence there came to Lamar
with the first rush of homeseekers in
1885, and for eleven years has been
farmer north OF the river. He has
proved himself slayer, sharing in
all the varying fortunes and trials in
cident to the settling up and procur
ing water for that section. No one
is better acquainted with the needs of
the farmers here, and his reputation
for integrity aud sound judgment is
an assurance that he is the man for
the position. This is his first attempt
at running for office, and it was only
at the earnest request OF his friends
that he consented to make the race.
For coroner the republicans nomi-
mated heavy weight candidate, John
Curry, who promises to touch the
county treasury as lightly as he will
any corpse he happens to find laying
around unaccounted for.
The democrats having nominated
republican, John Duncan, for sur
veyor the republicans were satisfied
and nominated him also, thus ensnr-
ing his election.

OUR TICKET.
Tho Republican Ticket Is Composed
Capable and Honest Men.

\
ernment, aud that the people are be-
coming tired of the outrageous ex-
travagance of the democratic gang,
the republicans have put up ticket
composed of able business men and
farmers; men, who have not taken a
prominent part in politics or been
persistent office seekers, but who have
long been identified with the growth
and development of Prowers county.
These men are all well known in their
own sections as men of ability and
integrity, and we believe the people
will look to the public welfare and
elect them.
David Barnes, republican candi
date for county superintendent of
schools, was born in Nemaha county,
Nebraska, in 1866. where he was ed
ucated. He came to what is now
Prowers county in May, 1887, when
everything was booming and when
the depression came decided to re
main with the country. He has been
teaching since the fall of 1890, and
has won the reputation of being a
competent and thorough teacher He
devotes much of his time to study
fully realizing that ones education is
never FINISHED. He is an energetic,
reliable christian man, whose bust
ness qualifications as well as educa-
tional advantages have fitted him for
the office to which he aspires.
For treasurer the republicans unan-
imously nominated A. Deeter, an ey-
idence of the general esteem OF all
who know him. He was one OF the
Iowa volunteers during the civil war
and rendered faithful service to his
country in that great national strug
gle He came to Lamar in 1883 dur
ing the boom and for several years
was one OF the most popular hotel
landlords in town until he was burned
ont by the great fire in August, 1891.
He has since been chiefly engaged in
cultivatiug and improving his farm
west Of Lamar. His business train
ing and ability have amply qualified
him for the office of treasurer, and
his well known honesty and integrity
are a guarantee for the faithful dis
charge OF the duties.
Everybody in the county knows ].
A Mcdowell, the republican candi-
date for assessor. John came here
long before this was considered a
farming country-way back in the
early sos, and his hand has helped
in almost every enterprise that has
been attempted for the advancement
aud development OF the country. He
has been the friend of the working
men, having employed more Of them
than any man OF his means in the
county, and the universal esteem in
which he is held by all who have
worked for him proves the honesty
and fairness which cbaracterizes all
his dealings. You can count on
John as faithful servant of the
people for the next two years.
The republican candidate for coun.
ty clerk end recorder, A. M Brena-
man. is from Pennsylvania having
been born there in 1856, but he early
moved west first to Wisconsin, then
to Iowa City, Iowa, where he received
college education. In 1880 he
moved to ives. ern Kansas and entered
upon business career. He was
a delegate to the republican national
convention in 1883 and was promi.

School Notes.
Over twenty dollars worth of
books have been ordered for the IL
brary.
Vertical copy books have arrived
and are being. put into the different
grades.
A new Standard Dictionary with
atlas will soon be added to the school
property.
The competition for the best bull
letin- board record promises to be in
teresting for the present month.
Considerable sickness prevails
among pupils of the school This
coupled with the carelessness of 9TH
ers has made our attendance lower
than we like to see.
Nothing can help pupils so much
throughout their school work as the
formation of correct habits. Here is
list of illusions and delusions given
by an excellent authority:
1t is mistake to think:
That looking on the printed page
is study.
That seclusion and absolute quiet
are essential to study.
That a good excuse is equivalent
to good lesson.
That we can learn without study.
That we can make up wasted time.
That you can do wrong and not
be found out
That the tickle succeed.
That evil company will not harm
you.
That happiness comes from our
surroundings.
That intending to do is as good as
doing.
That he who speaks to us of our
errors is our enemy.
That the more we pull another
down, the higher we rise ourselves.
That second-r rate work will receive
first class pay.
That it is right for me to do what
| think it wrong for others to do.
That wrong is right if many are
engaged in it.
That the idle are happy.

JUDGE PATTERSON PEssIMIsTIc.
FEW GREAT LAWYERS AND NO DEMAND
FOR THEM. HE TELLS THE PHI
DELTA PHI LAW CLUB.

DELTA Phil Law CLOb.
The Phi Delta Phi Law Club held It's regular
monthly meeting last night In the Marlborough
Hotel. AS usual. the meeting was succeeded by
a dinner at which fifty members and guests were
present The guest of honor Justice Edward
Patterson Of the Appellate Division OF the Su-
prerne Court and his theme was The Practical
Lawyer"
Justice Patterson started with a review Of the
history Of the legal profession. Then rather
abruptly and IN an emphatic manner. he declared
that the profession was degenera;ing sadly that 1t
was no longer a profession. but mere trade.
There was time. the Justice said when such men
as Ogden Hoffman, James T. Brady and Charles
O'Conor shed the light Of their luminous intellect
on the profession and made 1t worthy TO be so
called Now. It was all changed. said Judge Pat
terson. He was gratiied to say that James c.
Carter Of to-day was about such man as Charles
O'Conor, a legal giant, he continued, but the law
yers OF to-day were small men because there is
no demand for large The existing legal
machinery and modern law system has removed
the need for great men.
The Justices advice to his hearers TO abandon
the habit Of cross-exaInining was received as
mild sensation. He said II was unnecessary, anu
that few lawyers were equal to IT, lie went 1ufttr
and declared with emphasis that there We're to-day
in Newly ork only four men VINO coud pc caIe,i
