From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2lst, 1898.
Prudence, patience ana patriotism
have characseriz d every act of Presi-
dent Mckinley and every member of
the Cabinet since the awful news was
received of the blowing up and sinking
of the batileship Maine, in Havana
harbor, and the death of $50 of its
crew. In the midst OF the excitement
consequent upon the sensational ru-
mors of Spanish treRchery, they have
not for a minute lost their heads A
Naval Court of Inquiry was at once
appointed to ascertain whether the
loss of the Maine was caused by acct
dent or by design, and by the time this
is read 1T Will be at work. Until il

tration, or an order issued by it has
been concealed. and nothing will be
concealed.
THE SPANISH GOVERNMENTS REQUEST.
That the Pre- sident is fully alive to
our every interest is shown by his
promptly refusing the request Of the
Spanish authorities at Havana to par
ticipb te in the investigation, and that
he lie calmly performing his usual du-
ties was shown 10y his departure for
Philadelphia, TO deliver an address be-
fore the faculty and students of the
University OF Pennsylvania, on the
22nd inst., in accordance with an en-
gagement made months ago. His ex-
ample should be followed by good citi-
zeus everyw here.
TUE DAFENsE OF THE NAVY.
Senator Wolcott, of Colorado, has
more than once shown himself To pos
sess the faculty of calm judgement in
times of pubic excitement, aud TO be a
real, not buncOmb patriot, but never
more strikingly than in the short
speech he made against the misguided
attempt 10 publish 10 the world a dis
trust OF our Navy Department, by pro-
viding for Congressional Investiga-
ton OF the wreck of the Maine Mr.
WolcOtt said: Il desire TO resent as
utterly unfounded the suggestion that
there is patriotic citizen IN the broad
confines OF land who has not the fullest
and most splendid ana glorious confid-
ence in every department of this gov
eminent, and in the department of the
Navy in particular, ana it has been
true in every ad minIstration since the
time of Washington.
CONFIDENCE IN THE BOARD OF INQUIRY.
'The people of the United States
have never yet been called upon TO
distrust one Of the coordinate branches
OF this government, and they never
will " hlle the flag floats. The officers
appointed TO investigate this tragic
disaster will do their duty. l do not
underrAte the Importance of the leRis-
lative branch of The government; be-
heve in It's dignity and in its wisdom

dlgnified silence in the face of the APP
pallIng calamity which has fallen upon
our people.

A Good Woman Gone.

Mrs. A. W. Brooks, OF Greeley, died
last Saturday morning, about o'clock
She had been an invalid for many years.
During the past two years, however, she
seemed to have regained much of her
former health, and her friends had hope
of her ultimate recovery About two or
three weeks ago, typhoid fever attacked
her and she gradually grew worse until
death relieved her
Deceased was the wife of Squire A. w.
Brooks, prominent citizen of Greeley
She was the mother of seven children,
we believe, four of whom survive her.
She was resident of Greeley for about
ten years, and by reason of her kindly
and lovable disposition, she had host
of friends Her death is an irreparable
loss to her family and creates void in
the community which will I've hard to
to fill
The AGITAToR family had in Mrs.
Brooks firm friend, and we deeply
mourn her death, and extend to the be-
reaved family our heartfelt sympathy.

w bb McNall at Garnet.

Owing to sickness, Governor Lcedy
could not come to Garrett last Monday,
but went to Gcuda Springs instead. 1t
may be some time before he can go into
the campaign again.
But Webb McNall was here, and he is
a host in himself He spoke in the park,
and was greeted by good audience
better than was expected in this busy
season. The audience in the afternoon
was made up mainly of farmers, al
though there were a few business men
present who were brave enough to listen
to the truth.
The speech in the afternoon was gen
cral in its nature, the speaker taking
up the main issues of the campaign. He
is forciblc and convincing speaker. He
calls spade spade, and everything
else by its right name. He drives the
truth home with slcdgc-hammcr blows.
Everyone who hears him is convinced
that he is in earnest in what he says, and
that he is speaking his honest convictions.
The speech elected frequent applause,
and it was highly appreciated by the
audience,
In the evening Mr.. McNall spoke again
to good audience There were many
present who were unable to attend dur
ing the dav-prolessional and business
men and laborcrs His speech was
mainly i'll illustration OF the insurance
business, in which he gave his experience
as superintendent of the insurance depart
ment of the state. This speech was ap-
preciated by all who carry insurance on
their property, especially business men.
These meetings were highly satistac-
tory, and the committee is satisfied that
much good was accomplished by the
fighting insurance superintendent.

Our County Ticket.

Our candidate for representative is the
present incumbent, ID. Stevens. EVERY
person in Anderson county knows him.
He has been rcedent OF Anderson
county for many years, and no introduc-
ton is unnecessary. He represented the
county in the last legislature, and he
served the people faithfully and we'll He
makes no prctensc of being an orator,
but he is certainly worker, and winch
ever n measure was brought to vote
in the legislature, he voted for the inter
ests of the people. He has had one
terms experience in the legislature
which will make him more valuable
member next term. The people OF An
dcrson county cannot afford to turn him
down at the next election, and we be-
lieve they will not do it.
l.. ID. Kirk is our candidate for county
attorney. He has grown up III our
midst, and studied law under his father,
one of the ablest attorneys in the state
He graduated from the law department
of the State University, at Lawrence.
He is the senior member of the firm OF
Kirk * Bronston, firm of rising young
attorneys, who already enjoy good
practice.
For probate Judge, Ed. Stein, the pres
ent incumbent, is again the nominee. He
is careful, painstaking man, and has
filled the office to the entire satisfaction
of all who have had business in his court.
No word can he said against his admin
istration of the office, but all speak in
highest terms of praise.
los. Yokum, for clerk of the district
court, is an energetic young man. lie
was reared on farm, but has secured
good education, and is fully qualified to
fill the office. Although he has but one
arm, he is good penman, and the loss
one arm will not interfere with the duties
of the Office of district clerk. He is at
present in charge of the skimming sta
ton at Welda, and he does the business
of that position in satisfactory man
ner He is genial young man, and has
a host of friends.
Mrs. Cora Upham is our candidate for
county superintendent of public instruc-
ton. She has had years experience as
a teacher, and has always given salts
faction where she has taught. No teach
er in the county is better qualified to fill
this office. She is very popular where
ever she is known, as was shown by the
solid delegations tor her where she has
taught. She is unusually popular among
the teachers of the county.
Our candidate for county comm S
sioner from the Third district is Richard
Hagan, one OF the most successful farm
ers of the county. He manages his
business on strictly business principles.
He fully understands the wants of the
taxpayers, and will be a safe man to
transact business for the county.
That this ticket will be elected this fall
goes without saying. Each and every
nominee has the confidence of what is
known as 'the opposition" and each
has strong personal following even
among Republicans.

John Tolson plowed up considerable of
the Santa Fc railroads right of way
with his nose last Friday night. He
came down from Ottawa on the through
freight train. He failed to get of at the
crossing, but waited till the train got
down to the stock-vards, and as it was
going at pretty likely rate, it gave him
considerable impetus when he jumped.
We did not learn just how much the
damage to the RICH of way was, but we
do know he lost good deal of. cuticle
from his nose and right cheek
