Along with the proposition to accept
the offer of NickersOn's school building
in which to establish and maintain a
county high school for Reno county,
proposition will appear on the ballot
to vote for a levy Of taxes to build a
court house. The terms and regula
lions are not stated on the ballot
However the levy means one Of three
mills for three years and so much of the
fourth year as is necessary to raise the
fifty thousand dollars, which it Is pro-
posed to put into the building. The
work may be begun after two years.
Upon this proposition we only desire
to say that it Is disgrace to have the
BUSINESS of one Of the largest and rich
est counties in the State transacted in
Cramped quarters, rented at a high rate
in different parts of the city. In the
end it would be saving and would
very materially enhance the dignity OF
the county and city, besides lending
greatly to the convenience and eXpedi-
ton of the public business.

A MARVEL of marvels is an article
in the News in which the editor would
make the people believe that the re-
publican party promised to pass a law
that would reduce freight rates and
would have done so last winter if it
had had the power. Now the facts Of
railroad legislation are just these. A
law to do any good in any respect
whatever, must either establish a
schedule Of maximum rates and CLASH
iications for the whole State, or dele,
gate that power to board of commits
sioners. The present law gives as much
power as is needed over rates to any
special point where a case is brought
UP on complaint. On a bill to establish
a general schedule of maximum rates
all but one republican voted mo" ant
precisely the same thing took place or
the Hackney amendment which dele.
gated to the commissioners power tC
establish such rates. If, as the New:

The enOrmity of the contemplated

aired during the past week or two
through the newspapers that It appears

slip through their grasp Wharton
Barker of the Philadelphia American
makes these pertinent comments on
the matter: "Just one more word of

THE fact that the populist Legislature
appropriated half million OF dollars
less than the preceding session seems
proof to the average republican paper
of its extravaganza. If the last repub-
lican legislature had only appropriated
the amount the pop legislature did, so
that the present treasurer Hefflebower
would have received from Atherton the
Same amount that Anterior received
from Biddle, the first pOpulist treasurer,
the warrants would not be marked
"not paid for want of funds" but there
would still be a good snug balance in
the treasury.

SOME time ago the News stated that
Judge Simpson would not trouble him
self with politics in the district this
year. But we understand the old gen
tleman has come down from his exalted
position to mix with the people and
make speeches to the voters of his own
county in way that betOkens uncer'
tain and anxious feelings to the effect
that "the best laid schemes o. mice and
men gang aft aglee."

WHATEVER the result of the New
York City campaign, the milliOnaires
are to a certainty much frightened 4,
Henry George stands for worse than
popuiism; to their minds he stands for
socialism," which is very nearly true.
His platform declares for public own
ership of the important city franchises
and his philosophy of land is well
known Now even from the heart of the
citidel of mammOn comes 4 loud voice
warning them of the danger of their
thrones. When the millionaires are
called upon to subscribe So, 1000 900 Of a
Doodle fund to save New York City
from repTese natives of such ideas it
betOkens that reviled Kansas has pros
elytes away from home. The great
Armour packing trust of Chicago has
contributed 100000 to stamp out "the
beresy" in Greater New York, out not
all their money contribution can keep
the fight away from their doors. The
conflict for better things seems to as
sumo different forms in different places.
In the West, redemption from the
clutches of hose who control the money
of the country, leads In the East,
particularly in the large cities, redemp.

THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.

Last Friday, Mr. Whlteside, who
had been agreed upon by both parties
to try the injunction case brought by
Billy Morgan as chairman Of the repuD-
lican county central committee to estop
the county clerk from putting the dem
ocratic township ticket of Little River
township on the official ballot, fled his
findings in the case with the district
clerk. Mr. Whiteside found for the
defendants in almost every point and
dissolved the temporary restraining or
der mace by the probate judge. In his
findings MIR. Whiteside took the emf
nently sensible ground, which is also
fortified by decision of the supreme
court, tina in placing the names on the
democratic ticket no harm could lie
done and the voters would not be de-
ce'ved. This is one little scheme of
the republican bosses that didn't work
and they are now doubtless wishing
somebody had kicked them thoroughly
before they begun. Deception of the
voters was their aim and purpose in
commencing the action. They failed
TO accomplish what they started out for
and got exposed in their purpose.

THOSE BANK BOOKS.

This is now the last week before cleo
ton and although the papers who are
supporting Mr.. Hettinger have repeat
eddy put Judge Simpsons order giving
Williams Il Prigg the custody of the
books of the Bank Of Hutchinson, before
the people in the position of censure,
or query, up to the present time not a
word has been said by any republican
paper to our knowledge in defense or
explanation of the action. Are they
ashamed to defend it or do they not
wish to advertise the fact by attempt
ing defense? Perhaps they know the
terms and details Of the agreement
which we have charged had been made
and entered into to procure the settle
ment. The guiding genius of repub-
lican officer invariably dictates that a
banker should not be prosecuted.
The Bank Commissioner has said
that this Bank of Hutchinson was the
rottenest institution tina. ever came I'M
der his supervision as an officer and
now from every indication and appear
ance oy conniving with those authori-
ties by law entrusted to meet out JUS
tice in such cases and paying out fifty
cents on the dollar, they are to go scott
free to enjoy their Steslings and pray
upon others. Such work merits the
severest rebnke at the polls and we

TO Live ON BEANS AND RICE.

Several weeks ago the employees of
the Kansas Salt Co., drew up very
neat petition to their employers, pray
ing for raise in wages.
At the time Mr. Mulvane, the presi.
dent of the company, WAS here and the
men appointed committee who very
respectfully presented their claims to
him in speech which set forth that
1t was being widely claimed that pros
perity was here, that their cost of living
was enhanced, and that most of the
staple commodities they were required
to buy, had decreased in price. To
this he replied, 1.-THE price of rice and
beans have not gone up" The mel
were considerably incensed at this, but
he promised to take their petition home
with him and give it "due cOnsidera-
ton" Thinking that it might be be
would after more mature consideration
repent of his rash words and after con.
templating his prosperity, conclude to
grant a raise In wages, we have said
nothing about it, but up to the present
hour no results have been realized on
his considerations aud we thus infer
he meant his implied response, that
his employees might live on rice and
beans, like "yeller" heather, to be
his final and intended reply.
Great is the work of that long prom
ised and much used pledge of a tariff
on salt Great IS prosperity!

BkNEFUL INDIGESTION.
THE DISORDERS IT CAUSES AND THE
POIsONS 1T INSTILS IN THE BLOOD.

If gge only knew how dangerous, insidious
and ruthless disease Indigestion is. we would
not wait as we do before endeavoring to cure
it.
The longer we wait, the more dangerous it is
likely to become.
So the sooner we take Shaker Digestive Cor
dial the better it will be, and the better we Will
be.
Indigestion is dangerous because it creates
poisons in the stomach which are absorbed by
the blood and by it carried to all parts of the
body
Could anything be worse than this?
These poisons would not be formed if the
stomach could digest Its food. When it can't.
Shaker Digestive Cordial will help it to do SO
Nothing viii help the stomach 50 well as
Shaker Digestive Cordial nothing else cure in
digestion so quickly, or so positively.
The reason is that it purifes the stomach and
the blood. and makes your food strengthen in
stead of poison you.

Gets Three Months in Jail in the Police
Court.

The dock Of the municipal court on
Thursday was a lonesome place. The
only occupant was young fellow, who
has called himself Bert Walker and Bert
T. Walker, but whose real name is sup
posed to be Thomas G. Lyman. He. was
charged with stealing Mr.. Charles Ross s
bicycle, and pleaded guilty When Recorder
Turner read the complaint Mr.. Ross
was present in court and told how the
bicycle had been taken from in front of
his store. Mr.. Ross complained to the
police and sent out postal cards descrip-
tive of the wheel AS a result it was
found in Lawrence, where Walker was
arrested.
Recorder Turner sentenced the young
man to three months in Jail.

THE HON E.
The Ice Box.


Many otherwise neat housekeepers for
some strange reason, neglect the icebox
Systematically. Yet there Is not a point
in housekeeping where watchfulness and
incest care are SO important, says the
Woman's Home Companion. Indeed, no
woman should trust the matter wholly
to servant, however careful the latter
may be, for the health of her family is
involved. 1t requires both intelligence
and knowledge to understand why such
pains must be exercised in the care of
food. Bridget will soon learn that the
butter, milk and foods with no odors
must be kept on the lower shelf, stronger
foods Notwithstanding as their odors in
crease; but she is averse to learning why,
and indeed is apt to resent it all as bit
of nonsense. Neither will she be con-
WINGED that something splashed on door
or sides and left few days can result in
impairment to all the contents of the
box; nor that certain foods, as cooked
cabbage, strong cheese and fish, must
never find place in it at all.
A housekeepcr should inspect her re-
frigerator every alternate day at least, re-
quire that it be wiped out daily with a
cloth wet in soda and water, and thor
oughly secured with securing soap twice
a week. The wiping out can be done in
ten minutes, and no ten minutes in the
day will be so prohtably spent. The
waste pipe must be kept open and clean.
1t should never connect with a general
drainpipe, such an arrangement often re-
sulting in the actual poisoning of all
foods in the box, with diphtheria, ty-
phoid, etc., as sequels. A saucer Of pow
dered charcoal placed on the upper shelf
(renewed often) will absorb odors and
disuse any refrigerator may be thor
oughly purified by burning in it (tightly
closed) the smallest sized disinfecting
