A Republican Charges Corruption.

At the Kiowa county Republican con-
vention County Attorney Davis was de-
feated for a denomination, and when
called upon to make a speech after the
nomination had been made, he pro-
ceeded to tell a sensational story Of
the thieving and corruption in politics
practiced by the county seat ring. Be-
fore he had gotten very far his oppo-
nents made several efforts to stop him.
He was branded as liar and was made
the subject of other similar epithets.
When partial order was restored the
enemies of Davis railroaded through
motion to adjourn, but large part Of
the delegates remained to hear Davis
speech. He was enthusiastically re-
ceived, and as result it was agreed that
Davis should be made an independent
candidate for County Attorney, and that

ing the past two years shall be COntin-

Hawaiian Annexation In Effect.

The. Hawaiian islands were trans
ferred to the United States in formal
manner at noon, August IL. The flag
of the republic Of Hawaii was hauled
down from the government buildings
and the stars and stripes put in its

Hawaiian government, and Minister
Sewall acted for the United States. The
ceremony was preceded by parade of
the Hawaiian national guard, and such
troops and marines as were aboard the

ticipated. The flag used was the largest
in size in use in the navy, and was espe-

New Pension Claims Come In.

The annual report of the Pension
Commissioner for the year ending June
80 shows that 976,O14 pensioners are ON
the rolls. During the past year 63,64S
claims were allowed. No means are
obtainable Of even guessing at the num-
ber of claims that will arise under the
recent war, and the department has
done nothing with claims which have
been filed up to this time. Most Of them
ae from widows Of soldier boys who
were killed at Santiago. The principal
excuse given why nothing has been done
with these claims Is that the full record
Of the soldiers service has not yet been
compiled by the War department, and
until this Is done the claims cannot be
taken up.

Elaytiens Afraid of the United States

The Haytien government has refused
to permit the United States Weather

annexation Of the island. These people

Polishing a Hard Wood Floor.

Much labor may be saved in caring
for hard wood floors by the use of the
'frottoir," which is simply heavy
weight covered with carpet, to which
is attached long handle. The Amerl-
can Kitchen Magazine tells that an en-
terprising little woman, after a journey
on the continent, where this implement
is in general use, improvised one by
covering a brick with carpet and catch
ing it in the clamp with long handle
used for scrubbing brushes. 1t is unnec-
essary to buy patent polishes for this
process. Melt quantity of beeswax
over the fire and stir in turpentine until
it assumes the consistency OF paste.
This polish is extremely infammable,
and the greatest care must be taken in
mixing it not to allow it to come IN
contact with the fire. When about tc
use, melt portion over the fire and
spread thin layer over the cloth COW
cred brick. Begin at one corner and
work sharply, taking an arms length al
a time; let the new row overlap enough
to avoid showing a streak.

CUBAN ARMY's STRENGTH.

Delegation Officials Say it Numb rs
About $4,000 Equipped Men.
Washington Post.
Concerning the strength of the Gu.
ban forces in the field, the Cuban
representatives here say that recent
advices fully bear out all that the
Cuban authorities ever claimed, na me-
ly. that there are in all about 10000
men either under arms ar ready to
take arms as soon as guns and ammu
milton are at hand. OF this number
it is said that about $4,000 lack arms
and equipment, leaving about 25, coo
now in the field ard reasonably equip
ped, alt Though additional ammunition
and supplies would be most advan-
tageous to these latter.
The Immediate command Of Gomez
is said to number 5000 men, and il
coated in the rich Santa Clara
district. Some distance away, in the
province of Santiago de Cuba, are the
forces under Gen. Gracia, the several
bands of which are said to aggregate
$4,000 men. The distance Of Gracia
from Gomez is said TO make a
juncture' between them impractic4ble,
as there are no means Of speedy com
municatiOn.

FRUIT NOTES.

Set trees out at the first opportunity.
Raspberries and blackberries should be
set out early.
The ounce makes the best stock on
which to dwarf the pear.
New land is best for berries Thorough
cultivation is also an item.
The lateral branches growing along the
trunk OF tree serve to strengthen it.
If the rabbits have gnawed. any of the
trees, tie cow manure over the wound.
In order to be able to plant your garden
early, provide good drainage in good sea-
son.
If properly cared for, currant bushes
will bear fruit for many years without re-
planting.
In sowing seed in the hotbed be careful
not to sow too thickly, II stocky, vigorous
plants are wanted.
Plant hardy varieties of shade trees. It
is no advantage to grow shade tree only
to have it die when most useful.
Now is q good time to go over the trees
and pick off any clusters of eggs of the
tent caterpillar that can be found.
OF the different fruits the quickest re-
turns can be secured from the straw berry.

An odd Order.

The woes of the commercial travellers
to the 500 are many, and they some
times relate their woeful experiences as
well as their humorous ones One shoe
salesman, who makes the 500 about
twice a year, tells one on himself: Last
year he called on one of our largest
merchants with a line of his shoes,
with the intention Of adding the mer-
chant to his list of customers. He
spread out his samples on long coun-
ter and for an hour he put up an argu-
ment as to the merits of his wares,
which he could see was gradually hay-
ing an effect ON his prospective custom
er. At last, with the air of man con-
WINGED of a good thing, the merchant
picked mp neat sample of footwear and
said. Send me two pairs Of these in
assorted sizes. The drummer saw that
this was his congo, and he gravely wrote
the order in his book. The goods were
delivered TO the joke loving merchant
IN short time in assorted sizes-a 9
and s, q and 6-and, as far as the
drummer knows, the merchant has those
four shoes in stock yet. The drummer
never called to $500 Mich. Demo-
crat.

NEW PHOTOGRAPH FRAMES.
Gold and Silver Out of Date-Brocade and
Hand Embroidery In Vogue.

Gold and Silver Out of Date-Brocade and
Hand Embroidery In Vogue.
Photograph frames have new wrln-
kle this spring. The photograph frame
of gold, generally of the empire style,
is going out of date, and that of silver
has gone out completely. Their places
are now taken by photograph frames or
rich brocade, which, just brought over
from Paris, are beginning to be sold IN
the shops and have at the moment an
especial vogue for the reason that they
are not made in this country.
For their decorativeness as Well as
their novelty these brocaded picture
frames are getting to be very popular.
Brocades of rich and subdued colors are
used, and generally there are tlnseled
edges. They curve out slightly, being
stuffed out so as to stand upon the edge.
The favorite color is tone of green1sh
gray, brocades of deep red touch be-
ing also in favor.
A novelty in this line is a photograph
box without a cover that holds string OF
a dozen photograph frames. This string
of frames folds up compactly and nus
snugly in the box or case. Both box
and frames are covered with the same
, brocade.
Another new photograph frame is
hand embroidered. 1t is being shown IN
| great variety and is exceedingly elabo-
| rate Such frames are done IN designs
| of flowers, bowknots and birds and IN
all the delicate colors, in tones OF pinks,
| blues and green's. A favorite ground for
| this embroidery is pink satin, though
satins of all other colors are used. some
of these frames show delicate white en-
broidery on white satin ground. The
entire frame is incased in glass to pre-
vent soiling.
Grape paper frames have vogue
too, and are highly esteemed for coun-
] try houses. These styles of the shops,
noted by the New York Herald, are
particularly pleasing because home
made articles can so easily be fashioned
| after them
