For the benefit of inouirinp on,

For the benefit of inquiring ones,
 the Graphic will state that the communication headed Progress sive Politics and published in yes- terday's daily over the nom de plume of Bug, was written and signed by MT. r. c. Galloway. a citizen of Riehland township. In answer to several of our critics we also desire to state that the Graphic will publish any communication
 written in an intelligent manner and upon public subject when the article is signed by reputable citi. zen, the correspondent alone being responsible for the statements con- tained in his article. Mir. Gallo ways communication discloses a very startling condition in Rich land township and shows that while the McCoyites were claiming the al- legiance of democrats, they were swapping off township democratic nomlnees-as was done in Riehland and Washington townships-for ne- gro republican votes, and were us- ing liquor and money as an addi- tlonal inducement for negro votes.

FASHIONABLE MILLINERY.
Hats and Trimmings Prepared For ths
 Coming Season.


 Coming Season.
 Hats are not tall, but nevertheless there is room for great deal of trimming on them. Long ostrich plumes have returned to favor and are used in profusion, but are not placed in an upright position. They are laid along tho brim or curl around the crown, often starting from the front and passing down each side, the junction of the stems in the middle being covered by a drapery of lace or velvet, decorated with a jeweled ornament.
 The stem of a feather should never be pierced by the needle in fastening it on the hat, as that aoes it much damage. In buying ostrich plumes it is always desir- able to purchase as good ones as can be offered, since those of the best quality can be used over and over and reeurled many times, while poor and cheap plumes are not at all durable.
 Flowers, especially those made Of vel vet. are exceedingly fashionable and aqs

MR.. AND MRS. BAILEY DEAD.

DANIEL BAKER BAILEY, born in
Bradford county, Pa, September 30,
1928; died in Norton county, Kansas,
May 3, 1895, aged seventy.four years,
eight months and four days.
WEALTHY ANN BAILEY, born in
Tompkins county, N. Y, July 27,
1927; died in Norton county, Kansas,
May 8, 1898, aged seventy years, ten
months, and twenty days.
Fifty years ago in Ohio, Mr.. and
Mrs. Bailey we're joined in marriage
They lived there during their early
married life, through the war and it's
disturbances. Too many Of their near
neighbors we're sympathzprs with the
south. Mr.. Bailey offered his servi-
ces to the government four times, but
was rejected on account Of physicical
disabilities, and finally was gwen
place In the ellstment department,
and had for part Of his duties the
arrest Of deserters. In the discharge
Of his duty he was fearless, and al
though many times was in danger
Of violence from the people Of the
neighborhood, he faced his country's
foes, and compelled an obedience to
the laws then in force. The dan
gers Of that time were shared by his
devoted wife, who watched when he
slept and warned when danger threat
ed, just before the war closed they
moved to Illinois, where they made
their home until 1878 when they came
to this city, While in Illinois Mr..
Bailey was elected by his party to the
legislature in 1856, After coming
here Mr.. Bailey Immediately took an
active interest in public affairs and
was a member of the first city council
Of PhillipsburR, place to which he
was again elected in 1891. Since that
he has resided in Norton county for
part Of the time. In his life work he
has been assisted by Mrs. Bailey, with
whose aid he was able to accumulate
considerable property. During the
past twenty years Mrs. Bailey has
been a constant, though patient sur-
ferer, Last December he was strick-
en- with a severe attack Of Ia grippe
from the effects Of which he never
fully recovered. The disease finally
terminated in congestion Of the lungs
and resulted fatally on Tuesday, May
8 During this time Mrs. Bailey was
growing weaker, and after Mr. Bailey's
death, she gave up saying she NOW
had nothing to live for" and peace
fully went to sleep Sunday, May s,
to wake on this earth no more.
MI. Bailey was laid In FRlrVlew
cemetery on Saturday afternoon and
on Monday, the companion of his
youth, his manhood, and his old age
was tenderlv placed beside him.
To this couple many children were
given, all OF whom are honored and
respected citizsns in the commun tiles
wherein they live. The children who
survive them are Frank, who lives in
Norton county; Perry in Colorado;
Charles IN Illinois; Mrs. Minnie Cow.
an and George, Philllpsburg, Tom IN
