house in anticipation of cold weather.
A prairie fire broke o ut last Sunday
one mile north Of S. @. Fulwider's, the
wind being frUm the southwest, the
fire ran a northeast course about three
miles, then the wind changed to the
northwest and It took a southeast di-
rectiOn sweeping q part Of the country
about three miles wide taking straw
stacks, not only, but unthreshed wheat
stacks. 1t did considerable damage to
many Of the people. It being Sunday
few we're at church, as they were kept
at home to watch and fight the fire.
How the Ere started is unknown to
most OF the people, but someone knows
Of course.

Rally at the Polls.

All voters Of the peoples party
in this county should get out early to
the polling place. They should be on
hand in sufficient numbers to see that
the law is complied with as to the duty
of the election board. They should
interest themselves to get out every
voter even if they have to send for the
absent and Indifferent. If thFeshinR
outfits are at work in the precinct and
will not shut down, arrangements
should be made to relieve every peO-
pies party voter and get them to the
polling place in time TO vote They
should see that all needing instruction
as to correct marking Of their ticket
are thoroughly posted and that there
is no illegal voting. A sufficient num-
Der should remain at the counting of
the bOllOt TO secure accuracy and to
prevent fraud. Take down an unofi-
ciaI but a correct return Of the count
aud send it in, reserving a copy, to the
county seat as soon as possible. Vote
on the right side, and mark the cross
in the squares to the right Of the can
didates' names, remembering that the
peoples party ticket is the second
from the left.

Monday for Table Rock, Neb., where
they viii make their future home.
IA. Corkin has bought the pasture
fence on the Pingree place and has
moved it onto his home place.
A. Johnston dehorned a number OF
cattle for several Of the neighbors at
Fred Hurd's place last Thursday.
The weather lately has been cold for
October and the recent snow made it
look decidedly winterish for a day or
two.
The fall grain in 40 is looking very
nice, and We are told that farmers who
are through with threshing are now all
over the county putting in fall grain.
Those parties who threw away to
baccO ashes which they supposed to be
dead will please take notice that they
started a prairie fire on Cyrus Ben
nett's place, and had it not beed for
neighbors seeing it in time to put it
out a disastrous fire would have been
the consequence Of carelessness and a
dirty habit.
Still the threshing machines are
heard on every hand. John Wolfom
finished threshing last Thursday.
John WolfrOm recently sold six head
Of young cattle to Mr.. Grieger, and
Henry Buss sold a couple to the same
parties.
Mrs. ". S. Cochrsne left on Tuesday

The republicans Of this county have
not held any meetings in the country
this fan that We have heard Of, but
have conducted a systematic sstill
hunt" The methods followed are Of
a disrupatable and dishOnorable char
acter, and TIE REPUBLIO considers it a

Tt has been current report that Dr..
Shelley has represented, in the inter
est Of his canvass for election to the
legislature, that DR.. Smith was sup
porting him, whereas the facts in the
case are, that Shelley being Dr. Smiths
business psrdneF, he is not fighting his
election as q matter OF courtesy, but is
not giving him either active or per-
sonaI support. This is treating DR..
Smith very shabbily as it puts him in
a false light before the people who
have twice hOnored him By electing
him to the legislature. It makes him
to appear as a turneOat, a demagogue
and an migrate.
Then, again, the report has come IN
a very direct way and from reliable
men that Shelley has made a personal
attack upon Mr.. Gillespie, his political
opponent. He has started the report
that he has fits $50 did Julius Csesarl-
that he-has trouble in his family, mis-
wife having abandoned him and gone
back to her people in Illinois Nov
Gillespie nav give Shelley fits" next
Tuesday at the polls. AS to the other
story. Mrs. Gillespie Is temporarily
absent on a visit, but corresponds with
her husband weekly.
The American people are in favor Of
fair play. It is said: "All things are
fair in love and war" But it is not
the case in politics. Such schemes "dO
oft return to plague the inventor" and
may do so in this case

When it comes to the election the
voter wiz notice a few changes in the
banotlaH, as applied to him, differing
from the original Australian ballot law
adopted by the state legislature In
the first place he wiz get ticket with
his poll list number on its upper right
hand corner. This he might not notice
at ali unless his attention was called to
it.
When he gets into the booth and IN
folds his ballot on the shelf he wiz find
it don't hang down as far over the edge
as formerly It viii be much smaller.
Then the blank spaces with its squares
under each name viii have disappear
ed; and if he wants to write the name
for a candidate for Office he viii have
to go over to the column Of blank
spaces at the right side Of the ballot.
The tickets on the ballot, he will, If
he is a close observer, remark are more
plainly separated by a double line.
And the square in which TO mark the
cross that indicates his choice is moved
over from the left Of the column TO the
right. This is the greatest change and
may prove confusing to some who have
got it firmly fixed in their minds that
they must mark on the left Of the
name. But the hand will no longer
cover the ticket that Is to be voted and
the marking can be done much more
readily and conveniently.
The arrangement viii not be hap
hazard as before, but the party that
cast the highest vote, for the highest
Office at the last election, viii have the
first place, the one casting the next
highest the second place, and SO on.
At the last election Judge Smith re-
oeiFed the highest vote for the highest
Office, and this gives the first place to
the republican ticket, the peoples
party ticket being second this year.
The last ticket viii be the blank, in
which the Hsoratoher" will have to
write, II none Of the candidates whose
names are printed suit him.
In the townships the voter who has
heretofore found a whole string of
names for roadoverseer to select from
viii now find only a blank space in
which TO write the name Of some can
didate residing in his own district.
The law expressly fOrbids the printing
Of the names Of candidates for this
Office on the ticket, and also makes it
a misdemeenOr for any voter to vote
for candidate who does not reside in
his own district.
In marking the ticket the voter must
use a black lead pencil. If the ballot
is marked with ink, or with q pencil Of
any other color than black, it cannot
be counted.
When the voter hands his ticket to
the Judge, he viii notice that the
judge clips of his poII-Hst number on
the bOrner Of the ticket before depo-
sitting it in the ballot box.

In the present campaign the repub-
licsns have nominated for the impOr-
tant Office Of state treasurer a man who
it is stated has so little property that
his exemption enables him to entirely
escape the payment of any taxes what
ever. The pOpUlist nominee Is one Of
the largest land owners in Kansas and
Is one Of the states most substantial
men, He came to Kansas forty years
ago with scarcely a dollar and has, by
strict attention to business and indus
triOus effort, acquired the thousands
Of acres which he now owns. He now
has property in his own name, the
value of which is almost equal to the
average cash balance in the state treas
ury. Some time ago Nebraska re-
publican state treasurer became a de-
faulter in the sum Of hundreds of
thousands Of dollars. The state lost
all Of this money. If such a condition
should exist In Kansas Mr.. HefiebOwer,
the pOpuIist nominee and the present
state treasurer, has enough property in
sight to reimburse the state for every
dollar that might be lost. His Oppon-
ent, Mr.. Grimes, is not so situated. 1t
is for these reasons that the business
men OF the state and those who really
care for the welfare and credit of Kan
sss are supporting Mr.. HefebOwer and
will see to it that he is retained in
office
