THE CITY ELECTION.

The publication of the usual or
dinance this week is reminder that
the city election is at hand, and it is
time to be thinking about candidates.
The REGISTER has no ticket to sug-
gest. Any good straight Republican
for Mayor and any five good straight
Repu Dlicans for Councilmen will suit
us. But it is of the highest import
ance that careful, conservative men
be chosen, men who will keep ex-
penses down to the lowest limit con-
sistent with good government and
who will use the great power invested
in their hands to promote the general
welfare and not to punish foes or re-
ward friends. All good citizens, both
men aud women, should give this
matter careful consideration, and
when the Republican convention is
called, as it probably will be next
week, every Republican within the
city limits should make it point OF
duty TO attend.

These figures are important, show
ing the relative value of each of the Sc
folders. They give the actual diges-
tive nutriment in the feed Everyone
should understand the meaning of
the terms used. The protein goes to
make flesh, and the most important
part of the wool. The carbohydrates
go to keep the animal warm, prOduc-
ing heat in the body. The fats go to
make fat in the animal, as we'll as to
keep up the warmth. And all the
fleece of course is derived from the fat
in the food.
While this analysis was made with
special reference to the feeding of
sheep, yet it applies just as well, of
course, to all the animals, and it
should be a most valuable pointer to
all our farmers to note how much
more flesh and fat there is in clover
than in any other kind of hay or
fodder.

hibition given by the dog one day
last week:
The store of Gravens & Co.. at Chanute.
had been robbed Of great amount of fur
nishing goods. The Bronson hound was
enlisted and put on the trail of the thieves.
Though the trail was thirty six hours old
the hound rapidly followed it to the home
of the Eaton boys. A search warrant was
procured and the officers hunted the prem
Uses thoroughly without finding either the
thieves OF. the plnnder. While the search
was in progress the hound was noticed TO
pick up a trail from the back door With
low bowls he started on the run and the
officers and crowd soon followed. At dis
lance of nine miles and in the midst of
patch of woods he came up with the three
thieves, who had all the plumber in packs
on their shoulders. The Bronson people
decla that $1,000 wouldn't buy their dog
and they are convinced that from now on
thievery will be thing unknown in that
vicinity.

the story he told: "You told me
when | started to leave Kansas that l
had better stay here and have often
thought of what you said. L went
from here to northern Missouri and
farmed one year, thence to southern
Iowa and went into the brick BUSH
ness and got done up because l
didn't understand the business. l
have come to the conclusion that a
man can't even run an Alliance store
unless he knows how. l came back
to Kansas and located i'm COffsy cOuu-
ty near Gridley and was blown away
by cyclone. Everything had was
blown away except my wife and chill
dren. My house and barn were
literally destroyed all my stock killed,
even my chickens were killed and
many of them were found days after
wards hanging in hedge half mile
away. We saw the storm coming
and there were a lot Of neighbOrs at
my house visiting and were eating
and all of us went into a
cave and were all saved. 1t just laid
me out fat, financially, and 1 had to
start nrw again having nothing left.
But l am climbing up again. Had a
good crop last year and have good
prospects ahead and I'll tell you if
the Republicans redeem their pledges
I am a Republican again" Mr.. HAYS
