The Candidates.

Mr.. D. ". Dillinger, the pOpulist
candidate for commissioner Of the
First district, is a pioneer of Sherman
county and Of the popuIist movement.
He moved from Nebraska to Llanos
township in 1886, and his residence in
this county has been continuous since
that time. Like most of the good peO-
pie Of Sherman county be had little
to start with, but that little was backed
up with a determination to win, and to-
day he is one Of the substantial farm
ers Of the county. This has a parti-
cular significance when a man for
county commissioner is brought to
mind. The county commissioner
should be a business man. Mr.. Dill
inger is that stamp of a man. The
man on the farm is as much business
man as the individual who stands at
the helm Of a mercantile business.
Since, then, he has been successful as
a farmer by reason Of a keen sppre-
hension Of business principles and saw

The commissioner convention was
held Friday at the Day school house,
near Edison. There was a good repre-
sentation, which told of the interest
taken in the selection Of a man for the
place. Mr.. d. ". DilIingeE. was har-
moniously agreed upon, and received
staunch support from all quarters Of
the district.

William Walker, jr., the candidate
put forth By the democratic, and en-
dOrsed by the pOpulist conventions, is
known by nearly everyone. He has
been a business man of GOOdland for
years, was postmaster under the last
Cleveland administration, and a lead
ing democrat Of Sherman county.

Mr.. A. d. RummeI, pOpuIist candi-
date for county clerk Of Sherman
county, needs no introduction to the
people Of the county. He is the pres
ent county clerk, and if the voters see
fit to re-eleCt him to a second term,
they viii not regret their action. He
has taught school in this county and
has proved himself an efficient officer.

Saturday was not a common day for
Goodland. The city was filed with
people from over the entire county
pOpulists and democrats to hold their
conventions, and republicans to see
and hear.
The temporary organization Of the
populists, which was held at the court
house in the forenoon, placed George
H. Austin in the chair. When the con-
vention was called to order at 1:3O for
permanent organization. the seating
capacity Of the court house was ex-
hausted; fully one-haIf Of the throng
being composed Of delegates, who re-
paired to the north side of the hall in
q body when proceedings were com
menced, leaving the other side to be
packed with people Of ali political
faiths A motion to make the temper
airy organization permanent being sus-
tanned, the convention began its delib-
eratiODs.
Various reports OF committees con
stituted initiatory steps. The reading
of the report Of the committee on
resolutions byL. D. Gillespie was well
defined and repIete with political
axioms. 1t declared that the initiative
and referendum-that central figure
and inculcation Of a free and liberty
loving peopIe-should be adopted by
this government; that this, an era Of
stupendous growth in trusts and cor
pOrate power, is impairing the rights
Of the common people and setting up
an industrial despOtism before whose
throne the knee Of government must
ultimately bend if they are not subjec-
ted to restraint; that by reason Of an
unjust tariff system these kings Of the
earth are bringing about a great dis
parity in the distribution Of wealth;
that the gold standard is appreciating
the value of money, thus lessening the
price of commodities and destroying
the just function Of silver, which
should be admitted to free coinage at
the mint at the ratio of 16 to /; that
the present administrations attempt
to destroy civil service reform, and to
sUbjugate, even by anniIihation if need
be, the FiIipinos and spiIling the best
blood of our nation for the sake of
American capital is denounced; and
that the st. Louis platform Of 1896 is a
political creed of truth, of fact, grant
ing equal rights to all but special pri-
vileges to none.
The nomination Of q ticket being
next in order Of procedure, the fusion
question was its cOncomitant. Fusion
having a necessary precedence in point
Of time, was considered first, and a
committee Of five selected to confer
with the democrats then in convention
at the opera house. During the com
mittees absence there was a general
discussion Of the fusion idea, pro and
con However, the committees report,
that the democratic party was willing
to fuse by giving them one place on

Boss Knight left his usual haunt in

party Of Sherman county might receive
his attention. As shepherd Of the re-
publican fold, aided by his servant, z.

name the sheep whom he would set up
as candidates Of his party. The names
on the Knight-Scott slate have already

A remarkable accident befell an Eng
lish cyclist. He had been a few miles
into the country to see some friends,
and was riding home along a lane about
10 O'Clock p. M, when he suddenly re-
ceived a sharp blow on the chest and
was lifted completely out of the saddle
and thrown with considerable violence
to the ground, where he lay for some
minutes partly stunned. On recovering
his senses the cyclist looked around to
try to find the cause of his extraordinary
spill.
1t did not want a lot of finding, for
it was very apparent in the shape of a
stout rope which was stretched across
the road. The rope, it appeared, was
fastened at one end to a gypsy wagon
standing by the side of the hedge, and
to a horse at the cher. In search Of
fresh heritage the animal had strayed
across the road, and, startled, no
doubt, by the sudden appearance of the
bicycle light, had thrown up its head,
drawing the cord taut at a height of
five feet or SO from the ground. In the
darkness it was imperceptible, and,
catching the cyclist breast high, it flung
him from his machine with scant cour-
tesy.

when men and women find them

pretty safe sign that they are run
down" explained a well known physi-
clan to a reporter, land they should
begin to build up; otherwise serious
consequences are likely to follow. The
ordinary worker cannot stand it long if
he or she has to work during her Sleep
ing as well as her waking hours, for
it is a clear case of burning the candle
at both ends.
1.-THE treatment l usually advise is a
change of work and of food and a gen
eral building up by the use of tonics,
being particular to avoid the use Of
sitmulants or excitants in any form.
A few days recreation is also absolute
ly necessary, and a change of air is
very beneficial in restoring things to a
normal condition. People, as a rule,
seldom dream of their work unless they
are out of shape physically. and the
moment they find that they are going
through the forms of their work in
their dreams it is the plainest kind Of a
Kign that they are more tired out than
they should be to have perfect health.

The Elder Got the Best ono.

An account of the life Of Judge James
B. Bradwell of Chicago by his daugh-
ter tells a story of the deeply religious
training Of his childhood. He had the
old fashioned faith in the efficacy Of
prayer before he was of sufficient age
to understand the reasonable limits Of
such petitions.
Once, when James was only 8 years
old, the wagonswas sent to Chicago for
provisions. Five days elapsed. The
wagon was detained, and the Bradwell
family was without food and without
a man to provide it. Little James, as
usual with ever small boys of the time
and place, was a good shot. His mother
loaded the gun for him, and he started
out to see what he could shoot to sup
ply the table.
In due time he saw two prairie chick
ems not far away. He got his gun ready
and then took long enough to pray
thus:
80 Father, if you will just let me
bring down those two chickens I'll give
your minister the choice Of the pairl"
The trigger was pulled and down
came the two prairie chickens. James
believed the shot to be a direct answer
to his prayer. He took the two birds to
Elder Snow, the minister. and told him
of the circumstances.
The good elder took a long time TO
examine the two chickens, in order to
be quite SURE that he got the better Of
the two, because, he said, he thought
it best that the boys compact should
be faithfully carried out.

Perhaps the most isolated tribe of
people in the world is the Tshuktshi, a
people occupying the northern portion
of the peninsula of Kamchatka and the
country northward toward Boring
strait. These people are practically in
dependent of Russia, who appears to
have reasons of her own for letting
them alone. They have practically no
communication with the outside world,
and have only been visited two or three
times-the last time by Major de Windt
on his journey through Siberia.
The inhabitants of the New Siberian
islands are also practically alone ON
earth, for they can only communicate
with the mainland and therefore with
the rest Of the world once a year, and o
succession of bad reasons might isolate
them for years.
The pygmies of the great central
African forests, if they can be called a
tribe, have also been a pcople apart
For ages their existence was little mora
than legendary, and only two expedi-
tions commanded by white men have
yer penetrated into their abode.

THE VIGIL.

Through the long dark l watch and wake
Beside my armor bright,
For morrow's dawning sun shall make
Me, too, u belted knight.
The silent hours drag slow and long;
The chapel floor is cold;
My weary eyes are faint, but strong
My heart to win and hold.
No kin may help, no friend draw nigh,
And all the worlds asleep,
For this one night my soul and
Alone mus vigil keep.
Yet through yon oriel's tinted wheel
OF stars a silent throng
Watch over me and wish my veal
Knights who were brave and strong.
In silver armor clad, like mine,
They throng the blessed field,
Bright on my helm and c~orselet shine
And bless my sword and shield.
They nobly stroye in wars alarms,
They died TO keep their vow,
But first they watched to win their arms
As I am watching now.
May their noblesse me, too, inspire,
Who long like them to fight,
When ], who now am but a squire,
Shall rise q belted knight.

American speech.

The faults of American speech. &C
cording to an authority on the subject,
originate in the primary school. The
child is not taught the melodic value of
his phrase. He is allowed to use the
throat instead of the tongue, and the
flow of speech becomes, therefore. halt
ing and cultural
Educate your alphabet and you viii
find your language as mellow as any of
the family of Latium, is the advice
given. 'Your is are throaty, your mis-
are too labial. your SIS are too kissing,
your c's are not soft enough. When you
can train your scholars to emit these and
the other consonants within the pitch,
using the tongue instead of the throat
for their emission. then you will see that
for rhythm and sorority your English
language may be compared with the
Tuscan, the Roman, the Spanish and
the Provencal.

Something or somebody gripped me
suddenly by the back of the neck.
Somebody else put his hand over my
mouth, and the two together threw me
on my back with unnecessary violence.
For a moment I was stunned. When
my senses returned and / opened my
eyes, l could just discern the sinister
features of my fri nd the villain, who
was kneeling spitefully on my chest.
The other man was there too. He was
holding me by the hair.

literally jumped on me and finished
up by ramming two handkerchiefs into
my mouth.
What surprised me most and partly
confirmed my suspicious was that one
of them procured a pair of handouts,
with which he decorated my wrists.
Having completed this little pro-
gramme, they both sat on me and with
the coolest cheek you can imagine.
After listening to their conversation
for a quarter of an hour without

conclusion that l had committed an
egregious error. From their remarks I
gathered that the two persons whom I

Black Jake and Ned Sawyer, but two
detectives from Scotland Yard.
I tried to make them understand that
I wished to explain things, but they
smiled in a most provoking manner and
were not at all kind to me. 1 tried to
think. but my brain was in a whirl. Be-
fore I had succeeded in quieting 1t the
excitement of the evening commenced.
A stealthy tread was heard, a slight
rustling of the grass, which l should
hardly have noticed myself. Two dark
forms crept along in the shadow Of the
wall. They made for the French win
dows and silently set to work. Two
minutes later a pane of glass had been
cut out and deposited on the ground.
One minute after that Black Jake
and Ned Sawyer were surprised to find
themselves looking stupidity down the
muzzles of two revolvers Of murderous
appearance.

circumstances looked SO black against
me-. Detective McFadden and his assist
ant had noticed me following them.
They informed the magistrate that l
was more of a fool than a rogue, which
opinion my employer, who was called
to give evidence as to my character,
heartily confirmed.

ferent trades and professions in order to
find the one for which I was most suit
ed, but without success. -Tit-Bits

ladies have taken to buying the various
forms Of doctored up coca extracts Eco

nacetine and various bromides, because
''they make one feel SO nice and hap

practices are exceedingly risky. Per-

another extremely foolish trick-that

handkerchief, with the object Of pre-
ducing a pleasant, dreamy languor.-
