all over the district, and we old soldiers
and wheel-horse Republicans Of the Sew
enth district have no interest in Mr.
Longs election. If Mr.. Faxon will ac-
quaint himself with the inside condition
of Republican politics in this district he
will discover that what he didn't know
about it previously would fill many vol
umes.
At the time of Mr.. Longs nomination,
everybody of any perception whatever
understood that his competitors assisted
in nominating him, knowing that he
would be weak candidate, easily de-
feated and SO relegated to political obliV-
ion forever; and thus there would be an
opportunity for them next time. AS sure
as the day after election comes next No
vember, so sure are the people Of the
country being notified that Jerry Simp-
son will represent the Seventh district
of Kansas in the Fifty-sixth Congress-"
Every one who knows the facts admits
that Jerry Simpson will have a walk
away. 1t was not necessary for him to
make canvass, but he is travelling over
the district refuting Republican misrep-
resentatiOns and speaking to large and
enthusiastic audiences.

Chester" is
Simpsons Toy.
Jerry is Having a Very Easy Time
Getting Back to Congress From
the Seventh.
REPUBLICANS WILL STAY HOTTIE

Jerry Simpson is having an easy time
with Chester" The dissatisfaction
among the Republicans over Longs nom
ination has been increasing rather than
diminishing. One of them who knows
the district thoroughly and who is as
good a Republican as there Is in Kan
sas, has written his opinion as follows
for the Advocate and News. AS he Is
minister of the gospel his name Is with
held at his request:
I'm a recent issue of the Kansas City
Journal there appeared the following
statement by r. II. Faxon, OF Newton:
THE Republicans Of the Seventh are
thoroughly united, and the rumors cir
culated to the effect that there Is some
dissatisfaction among the Republicans
there on account Of pOstofice matters
are wholly unfounded. The chances for
a big Republican victory in the big Sew
enth were never more tlattering.
"Such statements might appear plaus-
ible to an individual wholly unac-
Quainted with the facts, but to any res
ident of the Seventh district with slight
est ability of perceiving the indications
they are nonsensical and ridiculous. AS
a Republican, resident of the Seventh
district, and having recently travelled
over large part Of the district, the
writer wishes to state that Mr.. Faxon is
talking through his hat" Either Mr.. F.
has failed to read the signs correctly or
he has been misinformed
"The Republicans Of the Seventh dis
trict are tired of Mr.. Long and his cheap
political methods, and as they have no
sympathy for Jerry Simpson and the
principles for which he stands, great
many Of them will refrain from voting
for Congressman at all, and thus, choos-
ing the lesser Of two evils, allow Jerry to
be elected
$50 far from doing anything to
strengthen himself at the polls, Mr.. Long
has done many things in the past two
years that have weakened him severely.
1t would not be exaggerating to say that
two-thirds of his recommendations for
pOst-offiCe appointments, etc., have failed
to receive the approval Of majority Of
the party AS an instance Of his actions,
note the record Of his appointments In
one county. A member Of the pension
examining board was to be appointed
from a certain township. The G.. A. r.
post, containing over a hundred mem
bers, unanimously recommended an old
soldier, physician of high standing and
Of many years practice. Directly con-
trary to their wishes, Mr.. Long recon-
mended for appointment man who had
presented no recommendations what
ever, and who, although he had the de-
gree of NJ D., had never treated half a
dozen cases in his life.
I'm the largest city of the same county,
there were two candidates for post
master; one of them was the choice OF
four-fifths of the party and people of the
city, and was recommended by his
county central committee, and the most
prominent people OF the city. Mr.. Long
appointed the other man. The contest
for postmaster at the county seat was
similar, and the result was also the same
Many such instances have occurred

Good Work at
Industrial School.
Report Of hrs. Bare, Superintendent

Progress rlade,
NEEDS OF THE SCHOOL.

The purpose Of the State Industrial
School for Girls at Beloit is to train, ed
ucate and reform the unfortunate girls
of the State, and that this has been ac-
complished with large degree Of sue
cess, has been due, to a considerable ex-
tent, to the efficient corps Of officers and
teachers placed In charge OF the work
Mrs. Phoebe ]. Bare, the superintendent,
10 the right woman in the right place.
She thoroughly understands human ma
ture, having been teacher for over
thirty years, and 1t is we'll that the school
has such Well-trained woman TO direct
IT'S affairs. Il Is marvellous how she con-
trolls the charges in her care. There Is
not a girl committed there who does NOT
love her. She never resorts to corporal
punishment, except In severe and aggra-
waiting cases where 1t is absolutely nee
essary to bring them under subjection
The merit and demerit system Is In
vogue, and as the length Of a girls res
idence at the institution depends on her
behavior IL does not take long for them
to understand the Importance with
strict compliance with the rules. The
superintendent regards Christian char
acter and scholarship as absolutely es-
sential to q permanent reformation OF
the girls, and all her efforts are directed
In intoxicating q love for these. and
their acquisition. Being a thorough,
practical Christian and educated woman
herself, she feels the importance Of such
ha cnA he tnsttAeataava
during the past year has been highly
gratifying to all who are interested In
reformatOry work. The community In
which the school is located more than
ever appreciates It's growing Importance
More than ever before they take their
visiting friends TO the institution, know
ing they will enjoy visiting such we'll
regulated place. The course of studies
prepares pupils for high-schOol work and
besides this they are trained in indus
trial pursuits ranging from the outdoor
work on the farm and In the garden to
the fancy work In the sewing room. Mrs.
Bare leaves none of the experimenting
to the other employees, but personally d.
rects everything, from planting the beans
and onions to disbursing the large funds

The efficiency Of the school does NOT

In the history Of the school Regarding
the administration Of affairs from

standpoint, It could not well be improved
upon, and the present administration has
proved that under its management the

Mrs. Bare's report, as transmitted to
the Board Of Charities, gives the follow
ing facts regarding the school:
"The total number of girls received
since June 80, 1896, to the same date IN,
1898, is 1O2. The number received from
