east of Beaver, aud 1896 west; I'LL
reside east Of Nardesty and S42 west;

To Hardesty, they would travel l63,-
TAI miles,
70 Optima they woald travel l89'17S

Beaver is nearer the center of popu-
lation and center Of mileage than any
other point. A removal Of the county
seat further west would cause greater
mileage, therefore greater court expense,
than We have sow.
The only satisfactory and just way to
settle the county seat question is TO di.

Elk Senator Ingalls, is preparing for
a big speech at the republican state
convention at Hutchinson in which he
will make the effort of his life, in the
denunciatiOn of Cyrus Leland, junior.
He will doubtless make a speech in
which his old-time vitrioIic Oratory
will be displayed. The anti-Leland
faction viii supplement his address
with a demonstration which viii be
calculated to work much injury to the
boss. Mr.. Leland says that such q
speech would not be tolerated and that
Ingalls, has OutIived his usefulness,
and is really no longer Of any use ex-
cept as a reporter Of prize-fghts. If
Ingalls, has determined to make this
anti Leland speech, he will do it
whether he is a delegate or not, and he
will make a telling one. In connection
with the other efforts Of the anti-Le-
land crowd it will make serious trouble
both for Leland and the party.
