when the Creator said to woman,
"In sorrow shalt thou bring forth
children" that a curse was pro-
nounced against the human race,
but the joy felt by every Mother
when she first presses to her heart
her babe, proves the contrary.

that she may reach the hour when
the hope of her heart is to be real

ELECTION NOTES.

Peter Hoke is vindicated.
Ed Sapp seems to be somewhat of
sprinter, too.
Johnny McKillop made pretty
good race, but fell a little short.
The Democrats of Kansas, that is,
the true blue Democrats, did nobly
Tuesday.
1t was too bad that Boyle had TO
go down, but he got in the way of
the buzz saw.
So far as Baxter Springs ia con-
cerned, there will be bridge over
Shoal creek at Lowell.
The Populists of Kansas will no
doubt deal more fairly with the
Democrats in the future.
There is now some chance for the
Democrats of Kansas TO effect re-
organization of their party.
The NEWS said Andy Skidmore
would be elected by l2)0 plurality
aud we guessed il pretty close.
Charlie Stevens is a regular
sprinier. The parties who fought
him really made him votes, just as
we thought.

The election in Baxter Tuesday
was the most quiet in years, light
vote being polled and no interest
whatever being manifested. In
fact the vote was fully $50 short of
the registration. Voters seemed to
hide out or utterly refuse to go to
the polls.
kansas went Republican by "a
few thousand. but Cherokee county
went Populist. the Republicans,
however. succeeded in electing G.
W. Wheatley for representative for
the lower district and Had Peters
for county commissioner from the
third district.
Andy Skidmore was reelected
judge of the Eleventh Judicial Dis
trict by about 1000 plurality.
