In 1892, the cattiemen OF the coun.
try had thoroughbred stock sale at
Chicago. Among Others, WA. Harris
of Kansas had an exhibit in the lot.
His cattle had been bred from stock
which had been imported from Eng
land, but they were so much better
than the original stock that they at
once attracted the attention of the
EngliShmen who had come to attend
the sale. They found Mr.. Harris and
asked him how it was that he had
grown better quality of cattle than
England was exporting. He explained
his methods, and in few weeks there
came to him an invitation to visit
England and talk to the cattlemen of
the United Kingdom. Accompany.
ing the invitation were transporta-
tlOn and expense money. He was
gone two months, and travelled all
over England and Scotland, the guest
of the stock growers. He spoke at
many places, aud was speaking to a
meeting of cattlemen in London the
night Harrison Kelly put him 10 nom.
intion at Wichita for congressman.

The Wellington VOICE very iustifa-
bly, complains over the action of the
Populist board of county commission
ers in letting the county printing
contract with the Republican papers
in that city. The VOICE has done the
county printing at sacrifice hereto
fore and, naturally, the combined
forces of the Republican papers of
Sumner were able to underbid it this
year. The POpulist members of the
Sumner board are undoubtedly good
men and mean no harm by their &C.
tlon but they have nevertheless made
a serious mistake. Lyman Nauyle
and his PEOPLES VOICE have done
more to build up the party in Sumner
county than any other agency. The
paper not only enjoys the distinction
of being the best published in Sumner
county, but is one Of the best publish.
ed in the state and instead of its hay.
ing been ignored by those whom il
has elevated, it should have been
rewarded. To make as successful a
fight against plutOcracy as Naugle did
requires free use Of time money and
talent and it is no little discourage.
ment to find that after the battle is
fought and won the services of the
chief warrior are neither recognized
nor rewarded. Too many Populist
commissioners have made this same
blunder and many useful papers have
been forced to close down on account
Of it. One Of the few counties in the
state in which the commissioners had
due regard for the newspaper men is
Harper, and the party is in better
shape in that county than in most
any other. We can also truthfully
add that the financial condition of
the county is better than it is in coun.
ties where it has been the custom to
treat Popnlist newspapers as though
they were beggars, trsmps and objects
to be taken care of exclusively by
charity.-Medicin Lodge Index.

Another new idea in the govern.
ment and control of the state penal
institutions has been advanced by
Representative Hackney, whose bill
provides for the appointment of a
state leDal board Of three members at
an annual salary of $1,000 and actual
necessary expenses and mileage. This
board is TO have general supervision
Of the grounds and buildings of the
penal and reformatory institutions,
and the management of the business
pertaining thereto. The board is al
so given the power to appoint all
officers for the institutions. A pro-
vision of the DILL which attracts wide
attention, prohibits the boarding of
officers or employees of the institutions
at the expense Of the state is section
9 as follows: at shall be unlawful for
any person other than inmates sem
fenced as prisoners to be boarded or
fed in the state penal or refOrmatory
institutions at the expense of the

Andy Richards Star justifes its
low price by the fact that Joe Bris-
tow, late private secretary to Gov
ernor Morrill, and secretary of the
Kansas Republican state committee
has adopted the same price on his
paper at Ottawa. Andy says Joe
told him at Topeka that the
low price was great success. Bris.
tow was the man to whom the trea.
surer of the state committee swears
in his report he paid $4,000 for
postage "etc" during the late cam.
paisn. This intimacy between Andy
and Joe and the coincidence of two
low priced papers may explain why
Salu low prices are success and may
further explain why the bills of the
Republican county committee are
still unpaid. That $4,000 which
came from Mark Hanna's fund, went
somewhere, and since papers can
not be printed at a loss without aid.
visible or invisible, why would it
not be fair to suppose that there is
method in giving circulation to pa
perS which can only get a circulation
by their being given away. We leave
this for local creditors of the late
campaign committee to figure out.

Nebraska sent seven car loads Of
corn to the starving poor of Chicago
compliments of Bryan's state to
the friends of Mckinley. Unless
the railroads gave reduced rate we
doubt if the poor got much good out
OF it, notwithstanding the will was all
right. We heard the other dav
about a Nebraska farmer who
shipped seven car loads of corn to a
Chicago commission house. He
waited for his returns which finally
came in the shape of draft on him

He wrote the firm that he had no
money but could send them some

The announcement of the death
OF 6. ii. Fish at Topeka will be re-
ceived with much sorrow by his old
friends in this county. He was a
man OF wide reading and great in
formation. He was lowly in life
but sensitive to the sufferings OF
humanity. He was never accorded
due credit for his lofty thoughts.
Those who knew him intimately
were capable of judging of his high
character. The VOICE has received
many a favor from himin times past
and it is with great sorrow that we
record his death.

to make himself secure was COM
PEELED to refuse to apply it anywhere.
He was EMERGED by Sheriff
Woodcock and taken before the
court to show cause why he should
not pay Woodcock's fees, but before
the matter came on for hearing
Simpson came forward and filed a
statement and an order in so far as
concerned this case.
These moneys held by Mr.. Simp-
son belong to the office of the dis.
trict clerk, A large portion of the
deficit is composed Of deposits made
by lltlgantS as security for costs, in
cases still pending. Should there be
further proceedings the present court
officers have no assurance that they
will ever get anything for their
services. Their only recourse will
be to refuse to act until the security
is made good and the plaintiffs IN
the cases will be forced to hunt up
Mr.. Simpson, if he can be found, and
compel him to disgorge. Simpson
may be found in Sumner county, he
may be in Texas or he may be in
California but he will have to be
found before the wheels Of justice
can turn.
Another feature of the matter
came up in this way: Judgments
are occasionally paid off which are
never applied for by the parties en-
titled to them. They lose track of
them. There are some of these
Judgments now on hand one in
particular for Sll7OO, the party to
whom it belongs being lost to all
knowledge of the court. Geo. Ew-
ing turned this judgment over to
Simpson, who has it now in his Jeans
and since it will never be called for
he is ahead that much. There ought
to be some provision of law by
which these lost judgments should
revertto the county school fund as in |
case of unclaimed shares of an estate |
IN probate court. 1t never was in
tended that any district clerk should |
pocket these funds. The law makes
provision for their ample compensa.
ton otherwise. These funds are
trust funds and belong to the office
of the district clerk and not to any |
individual who may chance to fill
the office.
Simpson is defended by his friends
on the same theory that Tom Dono-
hue was defended: That so long as he
was willing to put up money when.
needed and demanded he could not
be further cocrced. The law NAV |
permit this. But will honor and pub
lie duty as an official permit Must
officials be honest only so far as the
law compelS honesty? Is this the
kind of men, and the sort of policy
the people wish their officials to pur.
sue2 1t will be noticed that all this
sort of men happen to be Republi-
cans. The reason for it is plain
that party upholds that sort of
policy. 1t is for the people to say
whether they wish this sort of policy
to continue or not. If they do |
not they must elect good men
from the Peoples party-the party
that condemns such policy and will
not uphold it among its own officials.

The demand by State Treasurer
Hetfiebower that all money, postage
stamps, lead pencils and rubber bands
should be counted before he would
give a receipt to the outgoing treas
urer, reminds US that all of the state
treasurerS Of Kansas were not so
punctilliOus. The first two treasurers
did not even furnish their successors
with statement of cash on hand. No
report whatever was made by the
treasury department in 1861 and 1862.
La fact, no one knew anything about
the transactions Of the department
until 1865, when State Treasurer S. 7.
Howe made out the reports for the
two years named. In January, 1863,
State Treasurer Spriggs reported to
the legislature that his predecessors
had not even made iootings fer any
Of the accounts.-Kansas City Journal.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

Fill q bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand tweny four hours
sediment or settling indicates an un.
healthy condition OF the kidneys. When
urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain IN the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulflls
every wish in relieving pain in the back,
kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of
the urinary passages. Itcorrects inability
to hold urine and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, ard overcomes that mn
pleasant necessity of being compelled to
get up many times during the night to
urinate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its wonderful cures
of the most distressing cases. If fyou need
a medicine you should have the best.
