Those persons who al first thought that
the nomination of Mclean by the Demo
Gratis for Governor of Ohio was a good
thing for the Republicans are beginning
TO revise their opinions. Not only has the
expected break from Mclean by Demo-
Gratis failed to materialize. but the nomi-
nee and his friends are making a quiet,
effective campaign, while the Republicans
are bothered with quarrels and squabbles
within their own party.

the greatest questions now confronting

aids TO solving those problems.

MARTIN GOES IN.
New Secretary of Historical Society
Makes His official Bow.


George w. Martin, editor of the Kan
sas City Gazette, was today sworn N
and took charge of the office of Secre-
tary of the state historical society. MI
Martin desires to enlist some new
workers in the collection of historical
data in Kansas. He outlined this
plan by saying:
The historical problem with me is
how to enlist the young and the mid
dle-aged in that which they are doing
today. History is not something old
and stale; history is something fresh
Every act of a mans life grows in inn
portance with age. Trifies today often
become great things in the future The
enjoyment of history is not so much
in participation as in retrospective con-
temptation, marred Oftentimes by in
expressible regret that important events
or features of personal local or pol1u-
cal life have been permitted to pass
without note.
In 1857 when a boy, it was my duty
to call at the surveyor generals office
at LecomptOn to see John Calhoun and
l. A. Mclean, and the governors office
during the incumbency of Robert }.
Walker, Fred P. Stanton, Hugh S.
Walsh and Samuel Medary; and at the
land office on Ely Morse and William
Brindle to each of whom I was author
lied to say copy OftentmeS these
gentlemen would keep me waiting while
they discussed serious public questions
or berated the opposition, ObliViOus OF
my presence. What a chapter might be
made if 1 had then had an Olu man
lued u lie value u euA A0AAI & - - -
making history. Similar opportunities
are wasted daily.
The Kansas historical collection is
wonder; a marvellous monument to the
late lamented F. G.. Adams. Can we
preserve as good a record of the present
and future as we possess of the past?
If we can impress upon the men Of
twenty, twenty-five and thirty years Of
age the same interest in what he is
doing possessed by the man of fifty,
sixty or seventy years, in what he did
at the previous age, it may be done
Every man and woman is today max
ing history just as interesting as any
we have had. Let them help preserve
it,

from injuries resulting from a bicycle

In compliance with the Federation

of this character was by Herbert }.

of that time he again entered the train
service and worked as freight and pas
senger conductor for four years He
was then promoted to the position of
trainmaster at La Junta, and after
serving in that capacity for seven years,
was made superintendent of the south
ern division of the road. From the
southern division he went to the mid
die division, and after seven years ser
vice there, came to Topeka as assistant
general superintendent.
Mr. Turner is a man who understands
all the details of railroad operating
work. He is thoroughly competent. and
Will be a particularly valuable official,
in charge of the important work of the
Chicago division. His responsibilities
will be greater as superintendent of the
Chicago division than they have been
as assistant general superintendent.
The announcement that Mr.. D. E.
Cain will continue as chief clerk to the
general manager is good news to Santa
Fe men generally. There is no better
liked man connected with the Santa
Fe than Dan" Cain, as he is common
" known. and his popularity is deserV-
ed. He is the most efficient chief clerk
that the office OF general manager Of
the Santa Fe has ever known in the
many years of its existence
Mr.. A. s. Rankin has been chief clerk
of the general superintendent office
for number of years, and is an eX-
ample of the right man in the right

NOT BOUGHT.
Sueh is the Reputation of the
Little Conqueror" IN Topeka.

How hard it often is to earn and
maintain good reputation. and how
easy it is to lose one. AS with a man :
reputation, 50 it is with other things in
life Some things achieve a reputation
which stays with them. They are
founded on intrinsic value. They face
the public backed up by honesty and
work their way quietly but thoroughly.
Topeka people want no better proof of
the merit than is contained in the fol-
lowing experience of a citizen:
Mr.. c. T. Schumacher, No. 42S Quincy
st, painter by trade employed by D.
o. Burns. No. SIS Kansas ave. says:
Il suffered with a lame back and kid
ney trouble for six months in the winter
of 1898, and was so bad I could not
sleep. Many a night I arose and sat
in a chair for the balance Of the night.
The pain was just like a knife going
through my back. and can not describe
how much I suffered. I tried different
kinds of remedies, but received little
benefit until I procured DOan's Kidney
Pills at Rowley & Shows drug store.
The prompt relief they gave me was
wonderful. I was cured before I had
taken all of one box. It is a. pleasure
to recommend a remedy which does all
that is claimed for it,

The abolition of the Office of assistant
general superintendent is rather in the
nature of a surprise The office was
created on January I. 1897. and MI.
Turner promoted from the superintend-
ency of the middle division because it
was announced the work of the general
superintendent office was too heavy
for one man to handle. Not long before
that time the two grand divisions of
the Santa Fe were consolidated, and

Tt is now stated that the bulk of the
Improvement work. which the new
management found it necessary to or

TERRIBLE LYDDITE.
Modder River. Cape Colony, Sunday
evening, Dec. 1O.-The naval Al inch
gun again took up a position north of
the camp this afternoon while the
HOwitzer battery was posted southeast
the left of the Beers. Both opened
a hot fire with lyddite shells and shrap-
mel to which the Beers sharply replied
with a dozen guns, thus Unmasking
their position which was the object of
the manOueVer. After an hours firing
the BOer guns were Silenced, the
hOwitzers searched the trenches and
then threw shell after shell upon the
hills, the explosion of the lyddite caus-
ing the whole ground over an extensive
area to rise in the air in dense, brown
clouds.
A BOeT long gun was diSmantled.
It now appears that the Beers intend
that the next fight is to take place at
MagersfOntein. Apparently SpytfOn-
tein is not defended, or the Beers are
unwilling to unmask their position
there as the replies of the Boer artillery
were all from guns at Magersfontein.
