boys feelings can be immagined but
not described-in print. They found
they were up against q game where
the other fellow had all the chips, 90
they quietly accepted the situatioA
and voted the ticket or let 1t alone
The result was that Charley's tickee
had all the votes and the fellows who
intended making fight found they
were holding the sack. They are NOW

which ever way Kinsley went the con-

There seems to be some misappre-
hension as to where McCarty belongs.
He is resident of Kinsley and has
been voting in this precinct since his
election to Office, and that fixes his
residence here.
The p. o. gang had the resolutions

one of the side plays. The convention

We sometimes pause to inq uire what
the republicans mean when they say
that the pops ure unpatriotic, because
they do not agree with McKinley's
policy regarding the Philippine ISL
ands. They seem to manifest their
patriotism after the manner suggested
by Mark Twain, who said that he was
willing to sacrifice all of his wife's re-
latiOns in the war. for certainly they
show no inclination to place them
selves where their precious lives will
be in danger. You do not hear Of
any republicans enlisting from this
county. When the call was made last
year Adams, Foran, Kuhn and Sultz
went. Sultz was the only republican
in that lot. After they were mustered
ont FOran re-enlisted, and now Frank
Hoffman and Harry Rapp have gone.
No republicans there. So what do
these fellows mean when they shout
about patriotism? 1t must be that
they are willing to hold the offices at
home while the pops and democrats
do the fighting. You would naturaHy
suppose that they would at least be so
pleased to think that some one was
going from our county that they would
gather at the depot to wish the boys
good speed. No. They are too busy
planning how to secure an Office to
even do that. Well, what do they do?
Gentle reader, you don't for one min
ute suppose that they gather into the
back room on the p. o. corner and say,
'Good riddance; another id pop
out of the way for the fall election, -
do You?

Mrs. Fife jerks of Victor, Colorado.

Mrs. Effie jerks of Victor, Colorado.
in company with her brother, Jesse
Smith and wife of this village called
Tuesday and showed US some speci-
mems of gold ore Mrs. jerks picked
up on the Smoky Hill river north of
here in Ellis county. She some days
ago sent small quantity OF this kind
Of ore to the WEIGH Assay Company,
of Victor, and had it assayed. They
found one dollar and twenty cents of
gold to the ton in the ''brown" ore
and simply trace in the gray" or
shale. Both kinds were picked up
from the surface and Mrs. jerks
thinks that stratas of the brown or
yellow substance can be found at in
tervals through the gray shale, al
though perhaps not in paying quanti-
ties, unless it gets richer as it adj
vances in depth. The material that
assayed the dollar twenty is rather
rich in appearance and resembles
some of the Cripple Creek ore of
which Mrs. jerks had a sample for
comparison.-LaCr Republican.
