Politics and religion do not
mix well together. During the
late campaign many OF our So
called christians took a deeper
interest in politics than they did
in things spiritual, and their
weekday prayers were neglect
ed to the extent that they were
out electioneering for a rank
hypocrite. 1t is such methods
practiced by self-styled chris
tians that disgusts the honest

Senator Vest, of Missouri, is
credited by a newspaper writer
with having delivered the follow
ing eulogy on the dog in the
course of an address to a jury
when he was practicing at the
bar /; Gentlemen of the jury, a
mans dog stands by him in pros
perity and in poverty, in health
and in sickness. He will sleep
on the cold ground, where wintry
winds blow and the snow drives
fiercely, if only he may be near
his masters side. He will kiss
the hand that has no food to of
fer; he will lick the wounds and
sores that come in encounter
with the roughness of the world.
He guards the sleep of his paup-
er master as if he we're a prince.
When all other friends desert the
remains. When riches take
wings and reputation falls to
pieces he is as constant in his
love as the sun in its long journ-
ey through the heavens. If for
tune drives the master forth an
outcast in the world, friendless
and homeless, the faithful dog
asks no higher privilege than
that of accompanying him to
guard against danger, to fight
against his enemies, and when
the last scene of all comes, and
death takes the master in it's en-
brace and his body is laid away
in the cold ground, no matter if
all others pursue their way, there
by his graveside will the noble
dog be found, his head between
his paws, his eyes sad but open
in alert watchfulness, faithful
and true even in death"

Great many do not appear to
pay any attention to the Estray
Law relative to animals. The
law reads about in this form :
within ten days after taking
up estrays, where the owner is
not known, publish a notice in
your county paper. AS soon as
the notice appears in the paper
cut it out and send it to the coun-
ty Auditor. If the owner APP
pears within two months and
pays lawful charges, including
the printers fee, he takes the
stock. If the owner does not
appear, the holder of the estray
must ask the sheriff or constable
to sell the same at public auc-
ton. The holder of the estray
can bid at the auction if he so
desires. The charges for keep
ing stock, printers fee, ETC.,
must come out of the proceeds of
the sale. You cannot charge for
keeping an estray for more than
5 days prior to fling notice with
the Auditor"

Many great men were snuffed
out in the late election, but no
one has suffered such an over
whelming defeat as President
Mckinley. Teddy Roosevelt's
victory in New York makes it
absolutely certain that he will be
the republican nominee for pres
ident in 1900. 1t is universally
admitted that no other man could
have saved the Empire state to
the party, and as the republicans
cannot win without New York,
therefore Teddy has q sure thing
for the nomination. Alas and

WICHITA'S PROGRESS.
City Will Build an Electric Car
Line.

Wichita, Kan, Aug: 2O.-The street
committee of the city council has
adopted a resolution calling upon the
council to declare the Wichita car sys-
tenn a nuisance at the next regular
meeting Monday night and ordering the
tracks and cars off the streets.
For a year the city officials have
been struggling with the street car sit
uation here. The Church company of
Boston was given a franchise and con-
tract for new system entire last May
to cost not less than $500, 900. A forfeit
bond of $4,000 was given by the COM
pany as a guaranty that the lines would
be completed within six months. The
bond was forfeited and the company
was given six weeks to deposit $4,000
in cash with the city treasurer that the
work would be done, in which case it
was agreed that the bond should be
conceled. Nothing has been done and
the council has decided to order the
entire fifteen miles of track and all the
cars cleared off the streets.
A petition has been started calling
for an election to vote bonds and have
a new line built by the city.

WORK ON FLORAL PARADE.
Little Bo-Peep to Be Given at Garfield
Park to Raise Money.

Mrs. E B. Meredith, who has charge
of the Floral Parade, has about half
enough flowers made to cover the Floral
Queens float.
The offer made to pay the street car
fare of all who would meet in the Com
mercial club rooms and make flowers
has met with favor and a dozen young
ladies have responded. The offer is
still good and others are requested to
respond.
On next Monday morning at 10 o'clock
Mrs. Meredith will commence the re-
hearsals of Little Po-Peep," which will
be given at Garfield park for the bene-
fit of the floral parade. All children
and young people who wish to take part
are requested to meet at MarshalPs
band rooms corner of Third and Kan
sas avenue Monday morning at 10
o'clock.
Mrs. Meredith will be unable to OBJ
tain last years floral floats without
paying something for them and for
that reason she has decided to build
them all new. The flowers this year
will all be new as the ones used last
year are not at the disposal of the
floral committee.
