LOCAL MARKET Is DULL
Farmers Are Basy Smoking Corn and Do
Not Firing Their Grain to Town

For the past few days the local mar
ket has been rather dull and languid.
As a consequence prices have not chang
ed materially. Most Of the farmers are
shocking corn and very little grain is
being brought into the morket. Most OF
the millers are fairly well stocked up
with wheat and they are not buying
very extensively just at present. Soft
wheat sold yesterday for IS cents BUSH
el, which is the same price that has pre-
vailed during the last week. Hard
wheat has not changed any in price and
sold for 70 cents. Corn continues strong
in price. Old corn is selling at % cents
a bushel and new corn brings 26 cents.
There was no change in oats yesterday.

His Ability and Measure of Worth TO
No Experiment and VIII Mean Efficient
Service to the County-Eiection of Pop
uiist Ticket Endorses Bossism
A county officer is entitled 70 the sup
port of voting citizens in the measure
that ne mas demonstrated MS worth TO
the county and its Interests.
A. ". Denny has been county clerk
for the last two years and his work has
been pure financial gain 10 the county
In degree not often attained by a
public officer. In the first term, iaking
up the books as he found them, he
brought them TO a balance VITA the
county treasurer. He went before the
state board Of equalization and secured a
reduction in the amount Of state tax as
sessed 10 this county Of more than
three thousand dollars. Not every man,
be he never 50 honest and trustworthy,
has the ability to effect such a matter
as this. II is dollars and cents either in
the voters pockets or out OF them, and
70 save such an amount Of money re-
Quires no mean measure of ability. In
tnis, Mr.. Denny's second year, he again
went before the state board and effected
a much larger reduction, amounting to
almost FIVE thousand dollars. The saw
ing Mr.. Denny has made to the county
in the two years Of his term will amount
10 almost eight thousand dollars.
II is acknowledged by men of ali par
ties that no other county clerk Sedg-
wick county has ever had has been able
10 effect quite so much in all directions
Apt with the record every man got his
dues, whether ne was Populist, Demo-
crat or Republican.
Mr.. Denny's party asks for him an en-
dorsement Of mis- ability and thorough
ness, mis- accurate, straightforward hon
esty in his transactions as a clerk SIM
ply upon his record during mis- present
term. A vote for Mr.. Denny will be no
experiment and his election will insure
the county an efficient and valuable ser
want, as will the election OF the whole
Republican ticket. II VIII be no mere
