A REPUBLICAN SURE.
An Emporia Democrat Thinks the
Fourth District Will Stay in Line.

Henry D. Dickson of Emporia, county
attorney of Lyon county, elected by the
Democrats and Populists on a fusion
ticket, being a Democrat himself has
no faith in the bright prospects claimed
by the Democrats for the nomination of
district.
Il presume" said Mr. Dickson to a
reporter, that there will be the usual
amount of spluttering around prior to
the campaign, then the POpulists will
nominate a candidate and the Demo-
Gratis will support him. The Populists
are for John Madden and will not con-
sent to abandon him for a Democrat.

concern about a congressman because
the Republicans will elect their candi-

If a Democrat is nominated the middle

GLADSTONE'S TIME SHORT.
Doctors Have Told Him That the End
is Near.

London, March 2S.-The Westminster
Gazette this afternoon discussing the
health of Gladstone says: 1t is no news,
we fear to say, that Mr.. Gladstone's
illness must necessarily be fatal in
comparatively short time. Mr.. Glad
stone is fully informed as to his own
condition. He asked the doctors to tell
him the truth and he was thankful
when informed that he had no chance
of recovery. His state of mind is one
of complete happiness. His life goes
on quietly and evenly. Music is his
chief solace. 1t soothes the pain.
The death of a black Pomeranian dog,
PETE, which for nine years had been
constant companion Of Mr.. Gladstone,
has been an additional pang to the whole
family When Mr.. Gladstone went to
Cannes, PETE was left with the Drews'
but he pinned, would not eat and was re-
turned to Hawarden the day Mr. Glad
stone returned. The dog died on Friday.
