The Jewell county POpulist commit
tee has passed a resolution requiring
candidates for nomination To an
nOunce themselves 10 advance OF the
convention. IL IS doubtful whether
the committee has power to say that
the convention cannot nominate a
man who does not announce himself,
but it is certain that announcements
will enable people to form an estimate
of the worth of aspirants in advance
and thereby limit the liability to make
poor nominations-TOpeka Advocate.
The committee did not attempt to
say that the convention, iD its choice
of nominees, must be confined to
those who announce their candidacy.
They merely recommended that
candidates announce, believing that
to be the better way.-Maryville

The Judicial Convention.

In order that our readers may fully

give the facts concerning the matter.
At a meeting Of our county central
committee on the first Saturday in
May committee of three was ap-
pointed to act with like committee
from COwley county in arranging a
nIBeteenth judicial district central
committee. These two committees
met IN Oxford on the 29th day of
May and proceeded to form a
Judicial committee by selecting nine
men from COwley county and nlne
men from Sumner county. The fol-
lowing gentlemen were selected by
judge Ray to represent Sumner cOun-

committee met at Oxford on the 9TH
day Of June. Mr. James A. Ray met
with the committee. The Demo
cratic judicial committee of the dis
trlct also met in Oxford tie same
day. The Sumner county part of the
committee submitted proposition to
the committee for the holding of a
primary election TO nominate a Judge.
This proposition was submitted to
the Democratic committee, which
they refused to accept. The Cowley
county part of the POpulist commit

against the primary election and did
vote against the proposition, but we

were made and the proposition was

lie mas always developed large

He has been true to his party, first
as a Democrat and afterwards as a

vote of the party in all parts Of the
county. He is honorable in bis
dealings and has ability and Qualifca-
tiOns to conduct the business of the
office. 1t seems to us he ought to
make a very acceptable candidate.
Mr.. Cease is naturally of a genial
disposition and treats everybody well,
whether they are special friends Of
Ills or not. He seems to have no
feelings except kindness for his fellow
men. These qualities will make him
popular wherever he goes.
He is swift runner in his township
and if nominated we predict he will
be all over the county, and wien the
vote is counted will have a larger vote
than any other candidate on the
ticket.-ArgOnia Clipper.

THE OUTLOOK FOR WHEAT

The Minneapolis Tribune in its
weekly review of the wheat situation
says that the receipts in the north
west keep up better than was ex.
pected. There are plenty of men who
still believe in much higher prices
later on, but nearly all admit that fol-
the present the prospect for sus-
tanned advance is not encouraging. A
year ago 10 cents bushel would have
been regarded as satisfactory price
for wheat, and while now the visible
supply is considerably smaller and
the estimated supplies by in the coun-
try still less by comparison, still no
actual scarcity has as yet developed,
and until it does it will be hard to
"bulP' the market on theory alone.
While prices ought to rally some from
the sharp break of last week, it is
reasonable to expect considerably
lower prices before there is any big
upturn. Ii lower prices will stimu-
late exports and clean out the bins so
as to make room for the next crop, it
will leave the market in better shane
for fair average of prices throughout
the year"

HARD TO FIND.
The Packing House Will Start When
Manager is Found.
j. n. Neal, of Davenport, Iowa, Could
Not Raise the dough"

The delay in reopening the packing
house is caused by the fact that the
company has been unable to find the
proper person to manage it. When
the company was organized, it was
supposed that J. M. Neal, of
Davenport, Iowa, would be the
manager. He subscribed for $4,000
worth of stock. and his capitalist
friend, j. D. Strive, took $1,000. The
National Citizens bank went ahead
and expended from $500 to $1,000 in
putting the plant into first class con-
dition, to comply with the suggestions
of Messrs. Neal and Strive, and parti-
tions were taken out, new floors laid,
etc. The boiler was fired up, and
water heated and everything was in
readiness for Mr.. Neal to commence
packing hogs. But when the day ar
rived that work was to begin, the
train brought not Mr.. Neal but a
letter from that gentleman. 1t was
long, type written epistle, and told

concern which he had, and how the

resignation as a director, and said
that even a child could make money
ia the business this year. Offers were
made to assist Mr.. Neal, but it did
not appear that he was able to raise
any amount. approaching $1,000, and
the matter was dropped. Mr. Strive
was much disappointed, and recon-
mended the book keeper of the Daven-
port house for the position, but that
gentleman considered his services
worth almost as much as those of a
United States senator, and the cor
respondence with him was brief. Mr..
Strive is now probably out of the
company.

FOURTEEN CONTESTANTS.
The County Deciamatory Contest
Will Be Exciting.

The second annual declamatOry con-
test of the common schools of Blue
Earth county will be held at Normal
hall on Friday evening. Thus far
fourteen contestants for the medals
have signified to County Superinten-
dent Scherer their intention of TAX
ing part, He has received the names
of the following:
Mankato township-James Watts,
Alma Miller.
Decoria-Lottie Phelps.
Rapidan-Everett Lovelett, Bessie
Weller.
Vernon Center-Helen f. Grannis,
John Lowell.
McPherson-Geo. Dumeland, Erna
Lossow.
Shelby and South Bend will also be
represented by boy and a girl each,
and Decoria will send boy contes-
tant.
The judges selected are Miss Holt,
Miss Crawford and Attorney Jean A.
Flittie. The Normal orchestra will
furnish music. Owing to the number
of contestants, the exercises will be-
gin at 1880 p. m. An admission fee
of ten cents will be charged to pay for
the medals, and meet other expenses.
The probability is that this con-
test will be highly interesting one,
and the friends of those entering will
probably turn out in force. The con.
test last year was very interesting.
