PEOPLES JUDICIAL CONVENTIONS.
g. F. Foley, of Rice County, Nominated on
the 9th Ballot.

From the Ellinwood Advocate we gel
report of the populist judicial conven-
ton which nominated candidate for
Judge last Wednesday. We believe
that either Hotchkiss, of Barton, or
Moseiey. of Stafford, are better quail
fed men for the position than the nom
inee, and we know Moseley would have
been much more popular man. We
rather suspect that Tom Moseley being
too honest a man to claim that he was
anything but e-blue democrat was
the reason he could not get the support
of some of the delegates who have
"forgotten the old party prejudice
nit. Be that as it may. Tom Moseley is
SO far superior in broad intellect, true
manly character and other elements of
good citizenship, to the narrow minded
ones who .scould not nominate him be-
cause he is a democrat that he is not
now. nor will he ever be injured by such
unjust treatment.

With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
orts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is The only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts It is therefore
ali important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cab
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment OF good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of a laxative,
0ne shc.zld hav he best, and with the
Vell-informed 4verywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands hiei st and is most largely
used dgives general satisfaction.

"Rates are stable" remarked a traffic

The official was asked if there was
any cutting at all in freight rates. He
replied that there might be some cut
ting in spots, but not to amount to
anything. The official is technically
right, but wrong, according to another
officials understanding Of the situa-
ton.
It is said that rates are not being
reduced but that the same end is be-
ing secured through a change in clas-
sification on merchandise and COM
modities. It is a clever move. 1t pre-
vents any road from laying itself liable
to the charge Of bad faith to agree
ments, ETC., and at the same time it
protects the independent lines from dis
covery. 1t is said that lines between
ST. Paul and Chicago, for instance,
have changed the classification on bind
ing Irvine. Whereas this article used to
be rated as second class, it is now rated
third class, making a reduction in
rates Of about Is per cent. 1t is also
said that the rating on oatmeal and
wheat stuffs Of similar kind has been
changed, so as to make a total reduc-
ton in rates Of about Is per cent.
These are but two samples.
