BUSTED By BOB.

We observe from casual reading of
the Topeka papers that they have
been having one of those naughty,
ver-tO-be-fOrgiven contested cleo
tion trials down there over the Shriev-
atty of the province of Shawnee and
we have awaited the results with con-
siderable narrowing anxiety, dismal
foreboding and trembling solicitude.
Not that it cut any considerable
quantity of CONCEALED moisture with
us, but on account of the tremendous
party explosion which, according to
our local contemporary, must certain
ly follow any such rash act on the
part of the political leaders and party
managers Every evening we have
looked for blood on the moon;< every
night we have dreamed of P0puliSt
upheavals and consequent downpour-
ing of deluge of party wreckage;
every morning we have s'looked to
the east" expecting to see the suns
blood-red disc emerge from an ocean
of political chaos. We have had some
trials and that experience coupled
with the ominous prophecies of our
contemporary filled our tender being
with confederation of palpitating
pulsations- But for the present it
was needless. The later reports are
more assuring A truce is called while
the court reads its finding of facts, etc.
The facts are as follows as near as
we are able to determine: Porter S.
Cook was the Republican candidate
for sheriff and received the support of
all the temperance elements. The

RESOLUTIONS.

WHEREAS, 1t has pleased our Heavenly
Father in His infinite wisdom to remove from
our midst our beloved brother, Rev. John G.
Curtis. and
WHEREAS. His life among us was a devoted
Saviour. Therefore
Resolved. That in sorrow humbly
bow before the will of Him who has called
him from midst and from a useful life to
a nobler sphere and while we bow in humble
submission to Him who dOeth all things well
we believe our loss to be his eternal gain.
Resolved, That the sudden removal of such
a life from our midst leaves a vacancy and a
shadow that viii be deeply felt by all his
friends and will prove serious loss to our
community. the loss. however has given re-
newed Inspiration to his fellow workers by a
departure where in the glories of that future
home were SO renia rkably manifested
Resolved, That we in deep sympathy with
the bereft family conform orr lives to his
will that though now separated we
have the blessed assurance of meeting on
the other shore.
Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions
be presented the Third Quarterly Confer
ence of the RAMS charge. Ellsworth dis

that the young mans father was

favorite of the brewing and beer bum

is also familIarly known as bob" and
Il good allround sport. The canvasSing
board declared Cook elected by ma
jority of 126, but Robert and lis
friends both within and without, etc.
especially without, were not satisfied
with the results and instituted con-
test proceedings to change the same
or set them aside. The chief attacks
seem to have been made on technical
grounds and some changes were made
by both sides in the recount, but Cook
was again declared elected by los ma
jority, the net change being only 21
votes.
1t is reported that Bob acknowl-
edges fair defeat and says that he
will go no further but, as both sides
saved a long list of exceptions, upon
which they were ten days in reaching
an agreement, it may be best to wait
for the finale. Referring again to our
experience we remark that there is
yet time and opportunity for further.
litigation. Robert says he will vacate
and waive all claims to the Office with
out a struggle, accepting the results
of the contest. Will he? We nave
had some experience with similar
agreements which causes us to re-
mark at this juncture that among
Robert Kepley's b. and b. b. friends
there may be some who have money
to throw at the birds. Since Cook is
not millionaire it would be exnili-
rating pastime to keep him and his
Office involved in litigation. Possibly
among the b. BIS there may be an in
cipient legal light with ulterior (but
poorly concealed) designs upon the po-
sitionS of county attorney and in or
der to create capital for the next
campaign he would encourage litiga-
tion for the sake of the supposed ex-
perience it would give him in the eyes
of his future constituency. OF course
we dot say that these are the actual
conditions and stated facts down in
Shawnee We are only reminded of
its possibility by our experience and
observation in Trego.
In any event Robert was very
naughty to seek his rights in a con-
test court which possibly might have
unearthed some ante-election crooked
ness or illegal voting. Being the

Ponce Aug. 5.-'rhe American troops
under Gen. Stone have been given Il
hearty welcome to AdjuntaS. The
members of the fire department there
have been armed by the Americans
and are now acting as 4 local police
force. There is disposition among
the country people to torture the Span
iarls, hut the Americans will not toll
crate such course. In Juan Diaz and
Coamo the officials have greeted the
American forces as delivercrs and
American flags have been l.oisted over
the principal buildings in both places.
1t is Gen. Stones plan to advance from
AdiuntaS to the northern coast Of
Porto Rico as rapidly as possible. He
is making his way toward Arecibo. in
the northern part Of the island. at
which point the Spanards have been
landing supplies for the blockaded city
of San Juan. No attempt has been
made by the American navy to block
ado Arccibo. and the Spaniards, talk
ing advantage of that fact. have been
landing supplies there without hind
rance. \ railroad extends from Arc
cibo to San Juan and by this method it
is possible to keep the capital we'll sup
piled with all necessary articles. Gen.
Stone. by taking possession of Areciho,
will be able to prevent the transporta
ton of further supplies to San Juan,
and the predicament of the Spanish
troops there will thus be made most
desperate. Three vessels of the
American fleet operating about Porto
Rico have been ordered away. They
are the Massachusetts. the Columbia
and the Newark. All have gone to
Guantanamo.
