D. C.. LUSE.

For Sheriff, is an exceptionally good
selection. He is of German parentage,
is in the prime of life; was born in
Mercer county, Pennsylvania, in 1850,
and is now ~ years old; strong and
vigorous, and full ofthat determination
needed to make an efficient officer of
the law. Mr.. Luse came to Kansas in
1879, locating first at Mcpherson where
be conducted livery business, at the
same time running livery stable at
Canton, Mcpherson county. A part
of 1880 and 81 he was in Ness county
in the livery business, and while there
was deputy sheriff under Sheriff Cald-
well, the one armed man who after
wardsolived in Great Bend few years.
In 1881 he located In Barton county,
buying his home place in Great Bend,
where he has lived ever since. He
was married in 1881, and has wife
and three children to whom he is very
devoted. In the early Sos he was in
the livery business i'll Great Bend,
and has a thorough knowledge of this
and surrounding counties. Of late
years he has given his attention to the
ice business in this city, and to the light
ming rod business in Barton and
surrounding counties and in neighbor-
ing states. The men with whom he
has done business are among his strong
est supporters. He has satisfactorily
filled the position of game and fish ward
en-, has served on the city council and
school board at various times, and is at
present president of the city board of
education. In politics he has always
been a democrat, was chairman of the
county central committee in 1888, and
last year was captain of the Bryan
marching club of this city. Although
a democrat, he has time and again
had the satisfaction of being supported
by majority of the people of his ward,
(regardless of the fact that it is strong
ly republican, and has never been de-
feated for a local office. He has not
before sought county Office. We
know that no mistake will be made in
selecting D. c. Luse for the next
sheriff of Barton county.

HENRY SCHWIER,

The farmer candidate for County
Treasurer, is so we'll known by our
people that it hardly seems necessary
to tell you about him. Mr.. Schwier is
54 years old, having been born. in
Germany in 1S43, emigTating to
America in 1861. He located on a
farm in Dearborn county, Indiana,
near Lawrenceburg. For IS years he
was on the farm, and one year was in
business in Cincinnati, o. In 1877 he
came to Kansas, buying the place
where he now lives, in Buffalo town
ship, from the railroad company. NOV
ing his family out in 1873. At that
time all that country was a barren
stretch of buffalo grass, but Mr..
Schwier dug into work with the rest of
our sturdy farmer pioneers, and for 20
years has encountered the ups and
downs of the agriculturallst. He and
his faithful wife have raised family of
sturday boys and girls who are recog-
nized as among our best citizens. From
1870 to 1882 Mr.. Schwier served as
trustee of Buffalo township, and in the
fall of 1883 was elected member of
the board of county commissioners for
the west district. He filled that office
most satisfactorily for six years, retir-
ing in January 1891. He was one of
the organizers of the Heizer Creamery
Co.. the first creamery established in
the county, and served as president of
that company from 1889 to 1896. His
oldest son, VIM. Schwier, is now secre-
tary and manager of the creamery COM
pany. Conscientious in all things, ear
nest and pains stalking, and man upon
whose acts both public and private no
blemish can be found, Henry Schwier
will be safe and competent man to
succeed Mr.. Bosse in the treasurer's s
office. He is an ideal farmer candi-
date-a man whom the office is actually
seeking and whom we confidently be-
lieve it will find.

JUDGE C. f. FOLEY,

The candidate for Judge of this
district of Barton, Stafford
and Rice counties is a resident of
Lyons, Rice county. He is an able
jurist and stands highest in his own
county where he is known best. We
have not been able to give his exact
age, but we would judge him to be
close to SO or 40 years old, man of
family; careful in his habits; always
plain spoken but courteous; well versed
indhe law, and in close touch with the
masses of the people. We have
known Of him since 1890, and know
that heshas been an earnest and con-
sistent populist since that time. He
has served Rice county as county at
torney, has not been offensive in poll
tics but gave most enthusiastic support
last fall to the ticket headed by Bryan
and Sewall; has given his efforts to-
wards uniting of all the elements of
the common people against the power
of eastern money, and will be, If elect
ed, just and impartial Judge. laying
aside party when on the bench, and
giving all decisions in strict accordance
with law.

ship on the farm, Or attended college
IN Great Bend. Mr.. Brodie is an ex-
cellent penInan, a good scholar. a
straightforward affable young man,
and of just such a temperament as IS
needed in the Office where the records
of the county are to be kept neatly.
exact and with business promptness.
In politics he is populist, having cast
his first vote for the nominees of that
party in 1891, and has been an ear
nest supporter of the democrat and
populist nominees since that time.
When elected he will treat everybody
alike, knowing no friend or foe when it
comes to performing an official duty.
and the people of the county will, we
hope and believe, rejoice that the
young men will have such an excellent
representative in the court house.

NUMBER 81.
"A Pretty Bnde,n


Under the above heading We clip the
following from the Wichita Daily
Beacon of the 10th inst:
I'D. W. Birchfield, OF Seneca, Ok,
and Ethel NJ. Barrows. of Barton
county, Kansas, were joined in mar
riage last evening by Judge Glenn. D.
w. Birchfield is young man, p years
of age, and his fair bride was only I6.
They brought their license along with
them from Barton connty. They ap-
peared to have been regularly issued
by Judge l.. G. Breeder, Barton county,
but the tender age of the proposed
bride caused Judge Glenn to suspect
that there might be something wrong.
He did not know whether he ought to
join them or not. BirchfeId was an
honest.appearing farmer boy and the
bride was pretty. These two facts
touched the heart of John Davis, Sedg-
wick county's ex- County Attorney, and
he told Judge Glenn to marry them
anyhow. John said that if anybody
was to blame it was the Probate Judge
of Barton county. Then Jugde Glenn
said if the young people would both
swear that EtheI's parents had con-
sented to let their little girl get mar
ried he would perform the ceremony.
They both did that, and to-day the
happy couple are in Oklahoma, where
they will make their future home on a
farm near Seneca.

ed the all important issue, and although
every effort was made by his old party
associates to win him over to support
the gold standard, he stood solid as a
rock for his principles which were
those represented by VIM. ]. Bryan
and the platform On which he ran. MIR.
Tyler has never asked for a county
office-did not seek the nomination for
commissioner; but if he be elected the
voters can rest assured that his action
on the board will be fair, honorable,
and to the best interests of the tax
payers.

EDWIN TYLER.

Candidate for Commissioner of the
second district, was born in 1912 in
Richfeld, Adams county. Ills, where
he grew up. obtaining common school
education. At the first call for volun-
teers, when bloody rebellion broke out,
he was one of the first to respond, al
though under age. His mother went
after him and brought him home, but
he again joined the army and this time
remained, serving three years in the
cause of his country, making a clear
record in the field and good hospital
record. He suffered with fever while
in the service and as a result lost the
sight of one eye, and his general health
was shattered by reason Of the many
hardships incident to army life. After
receiving an honorable discharge from
the army he returned to his old home
at Richfield, and was married there in
1865. In 1871 Mr.. Tyler and his little
family arrived IN Great Bend. They
came overland. mostly for the husband s
health, he being hardly able to sit up
during the long journey. Having a
strong. healthy and very careful COM
panion in the person of Mrs. Tyler. he
reached the new land, but for a long
time was pretty near overcome by the
hardships incident to pioneer life. He
