PLATFORM.

The Republican party of
Sedgwick county respectfully
and briefly states its convic-
tions upon the questions of
public interest.
It has full confidence in the
integrity, craftsmanship and
high purposes of WILLIAM
MCKINLEY, president of the
United States. It is our be.
lief that his administration
has added to the renown and
stability of Republican insti-
tutions and forms of govern
ment at home and abroad;
that its influence marks the
beginning of a new era in
which humanity has been adj
vanced to a higher plane, at
home and in the nations of
the world; that his admins
tration has restored national
prosperity, and we agree with
the words of the great Demo
cratic New York World, 1T is
a good time in a good coun-
try" that it has placed the
country where of right it
properly belongs-the leader
among the powers of the
world.
That the administration of
the affairs of this state, now
in the hands of the Republi-
can party, with a citizen of
our own county, the Hon. w.
E. Stanley as chief executive.
is capable, clean, deserving
of, and does, receive our most
cordial endorsement.
With intense satisfaction
we commend the glorious rec
ord made by our army and
navy and the unexampled
gallantry of General Funston
and our Kansas volunteers in
the Philippine campaign.
1t is our deliberate convic-
ton that when, on that Nav
morning a year ago Dewey
sailed into Manila bay and
won the greatest naval vic
tory of modern times. the
American flag was, in accord.
ance with the laws of every
civilized nation, and in accord.
ance with the express desire.
as it is written in the march
of human events, of an over.
ruling Providence, rightly
placed upon the Philippine
Islands. That this right has
been recognized by every civil.
lied power, ratified by the sen.
ate of this country by solemn
treaty with the power recog.
nized by the world as the ma.
ton owning the Philippines
That our right to be there
and oppose armed insured
ton is no longer a party ques
ton; to uphold the govern
ment so long as armed forces
are opposing it in it's efforts

I am the mother Of eight children and

We thought she would die. 1 tried every
thing could think of, but nothing SEEM

vertisenent in our paper that Chamber
iain's Cclic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem
edy was highly recommended and sent
and got a bottle at once. 1t proved to be
one OF the very best medicines we ever
had in the house. 1t saved my little
daughters life. / am anxious for every

HEAVY LAND SALES.
Reported For the Eastern
District of the Northern
Pacific System.

According to the annual report O
the land department of the Northern
Pacific, for the Eastern district, com
pleted today by Land Agent F. W.
Wilsey for this district, the sales fol
the year ending June 30, have IN
creased to a phenomenal extent
says the st. Paul Dispatch. II the
same ratio of increase continues IN
the future, the Northern Pacific VIII
soon Oppose of most Of Its valuable
lands.
For the year ending June 30, last
past, the Northern Pacific land de.
partment has sold 223,O0O acres Of
land in the state OF Minnesota. In
Oak ota, east of the Missouri river,
the sales have reached 6O6, 900 acres,
In Dakota, west Of the Missouri, the
total sales were 1877 900 acres, and IN
Montana the sales aggregated the
large total of 396,O0 acres. This
makes total sale of nearly 800, oOO
acres of tillable lands in Minnesota,
the Dako tas and Montana, or to be
accurate !, 494, 900 acres:
These purchasers paid about the
same average price as last year, as
the company preferred to dispose OF
it's lands at the fixed price, instead
of taking advantage OF the increased
demand and raising the price per
acre. The company will make up In
traffic from these settlers in time, as
the lands become productive, what
might have been lost by not increas-
ing the price per acre. The indica-
lions are that the sales for 1900 will
increase in the same proportion.
The sales in july, or since the
books for 1899 were closed, aggre-
gated 10000 against $4,000 acres for
last year, gain of about so per
cent. This promises well Tor the
year 1900.
Mr.. Wilsey says the bulk OF the
purchases have been in the country
west of Jamestown. This was
formerly considered as an exclusive
grazing country, but the soil has
been found to be admirably adapted
for diversified farming.
have alarmed the cattle kings In
ranges fast being taken up for
agricultural purposes. in small
blocks. And in order to protect
themselves, the stock raisers have
decided to buy the lands themselves.
and fence them in, in order to
be sure of summer grazing and win
ter fodder.
The above figures, as stated before,
include only the Eastern division OF
the land department. The report for
the mountain and Pacific division is
not yet completed, but it is under
stood it will show the same i'm
mense gain.

Long Logs are Short.

Minneapolis Lumberman: The
Minneapolis manufacturers and
those OF other manufacturing
points in the Northwest are especially
short Of long dimension and timber
this season. This is due to the fact
that the majority OF their logs do
not run over sixteen or eighteen feet
long. In fact, IL less proportion OF
long logs come to the mills than in
previous years. A local manufac-
turcr has the following explanation
for this. He says that the absence
of long logs is due to the increase OF
railroad logging. The logging rail
roads have so many sharp short
curves that it is impossible to load
longlogs on any butrear cars, and as
a consequence the logGers have been
cutting the logsinto shorter lengths.
