FUs1oN1sTs HOLD PRIMARIES
Allied Forces Have Hard Time Get
ting Attendance.


The Democratic and Populist pri.
maries held last Friday were very
poorly attended. Even in town
where the bosses are at work a mere
handful met and picked out delegates.
In many precincts no caucus was
held at all and in some the same gath.
ering selected delegates to both con-
ventions. Think of that!
The Democratic contingent from
town is as follows:
First ward-D. H. Metzger, j. 5.
Smith, Wash Shook, I. j. Curry.
Second ward-E. B. Malott, W. G.
Simmer, j. I. Prendergast, |. s. Hal
lam.
Third ward-D. F. Erwin, W. E.
Howard, b. l.. Str0ther.
Fourth ward-C. E. Rugh, ]. I.
Hornaday.
The Democrats will meet in a small
office room in the postoflice block to-
morrow afternoon. The Pops will
meet in the court house.
The News refuses to mention the
candidacy of John Wilson, the Popu.
list candidate for clerk, though it is
well known that he is in the lead. 1t
will be very funny affair tomorrow.

CATTLE BUYERS ACTIVE.
Kansas Feeders Hurrying to Ge
Stock for Fall Fattening,

There will be a .market for cattle
all right this fall. The assurance Of
large corn crop has sent hundreds
Of feeders out after cattle to feed dur
ing the fall and winter Those Of
northeast Kansas where the heaviest
corn yields are found are travelling
through central Kansas getting op.
tions on all the stock they can find.
They report scarcity Of feeders and
are reaching out in every direction
after them. Oklahoma's crop is big
and cattle are being rushed in there
in readiness for feeding from the
Texas ranges. Kansas will be lucky
II it can find cattle enough to eat up
the grain it wishes to feed.

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure

quires a constitutional treatment.

A Very Excited Colt.

Hope Dispatch: John Forrest
and Jack Watkins went out south the
other day, driving mare with colt
following. The Santa Fe train came
along, which frightened the colt SO it
did not know what 1t was doing. 1t
took after the train, jumped over two
wire fences, got on the track and was
nearly up to the train when the train
ran over long bridge and the colt
fell into the bridge. 1t struggled
around and finally got out just as the
men got to it. 1t was not seriously
injured.

HIGH SCHOOL PRospERlNG.
Tenth Catalogue Of the D. c, h s.
Il Out.

The Dickinson county high school
has issued its tenth annual catalogue
and report. The school is prosper
ing. Last year the enrolment was
l2l girls, 81 boys, total 2lS. About
sixty school districts we're represent.
ed in the attendance, and all but
three Of the twenty-four townships in
the county. The prospects are favor
able for lsrge attendance for next
year.
Principal Lantz says in his report;
"Some minor changes in the course
Of study are submitted for your ap.
proval. The most important involves
placing years work in general his
tory in the middle year Of the Nor.
NAL course instead Of two terms
work in the senior year, as at present.
A terms work in drawing is also
placed in the junior year. The cases
Of fever last fall were with one excep-
ton pronounced to be typhoid by
the attending physicians. An in
vestigation by the county health
officer and the state board OF health
failed to reveal any preventable cause
for the disease. An analysis Of the
water used by the students who were
i'll and Of the drinking water at the
high school revealed nothing deleteri-
Gus to health. The board Of trustees,
however, decided that they would
provide drinking water for the stud
ents which would be pure beyond any
doubt or suspicion. Accordingly
new cistern Of five hundred barrel
capacity was constructed. This will
provide an abundance OF soft water,
doubly filtered"

LETTER FROM COMPANY L.
Harry Lightner Writes Interestingly
About the Doth and Its Last Fight.

MANILA, June 27.-As we have
come in off the firing line l will try
to answer your letter and tell you
about our last battle.
We had battle June 18th about 8
a. m. There we're about 5000 me-
groes opened fire 'on us and and we
had hot time for about two hours
but We were in the intrenchments and
they couldn't do much to us. We
killed about 200 negroes and there
were about that many wounded. Two
out Of our company were wounded
and none killed. think there we're
about IA Americans wounded in all.
Aguinaldo said he was going to eat
dinner at San Fernando June 16, but
he meant next June | guess because
he only stayed about two hours with
us and he was ready to leave. |
don't think the goth will fight any
more.
We came to Manila June "a and l
don't think will 60 to San Fernando
any more. Isuppose we will have to
go to what they call the south line
now as all the regiments that came to
the city went there before they start
ed home. We were at the north line
when we were at San Fernando. |
don't think we will get started home
for about month yet. If we 60 then
we will do well.
We think the Kansas people have
got their nerve if thew want US to
come to Kansas and be mustered out
when we can save about $50 by being
mustered out at San Francisco. They
want us to drill all over the State and
show off and they get the name and
we get nothing.
There is only one of the congress.
men that cares anything for the vol
unteers and that is Mr.. Calderhead.
He has made lots Of friends by writ
ing to our company and we all think
he is all right
! hope we will soon start home or
we will all be sick. We have two on
the sick list now, Lewis Curtis and
Fred Vanmeter They are both in
the hospital. l will be ten pounds
lighter than q straw hat II don't get
out OF here. l weighed 100 pounds
when | left Frisco and now | weigh
III pounds.
Give the Abilene girls and boys my
love. think would be scared to
death II | should see a white girl and
she should speak to me. ! guess |
would run. | haven't seen white
woman for three months and haven't
spoken to one for six months. They
would be something new to us but we
will know them when we reach Abb
lene If we stay in Frisco two or three
days. HARRY G. LreHrsER.
