"a CONTENTED WOMAN"

"a Contented Woman" brought a con-
tenten audience 10 tho Lyceum theater
last evening. That the audience was con-
tented it is necessary only TO say that the
play is one of Hoyt's best. and the players
are as well adapted to their various parts
as the piece is 10 the tastes of the people.
This being true. it Ks only natural that the
house should have been full. and that
everybody should have laughed-sometimes
immoderately, and always heartily.
Until a minute or two before the curtain
falls on the last act every one wonders
vino is the contented woman. and why
the play should have been given such a
name. This is because Hayt IS the author.
He takes up a phase Of the political situa-
ton in Denver. where women are permit
ted to vote and hold office and makes
OF it just what one might expect him 20
make Of anything farce. with just
enough OF pointed truth sandwiched in the
mirth and melody 10 render the whole
production irresisdbly Sunuy.

TWO CASES OF SUICIDE

Mrs. Sam Smith of Lamont. fifteen miles

No trouble is more common or more mis-

blame and are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicines. The real seat
OF the mischief is lost sight OF. The
stomach is the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach. nor
perhaps any OF the usual symptoms OF
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach so much
as in nearly every organ. In some cases
the heart palpitates and is irregular; in
others the kidneys are affected; in others
the bowels are eonstipated. with head
aches; still others are troubled with loss

REED ON EXPANSION.

We clip the following from the Tope-
Ia Capital. We do not endorse much
of Tom Reed, but we say amen to this:
I'm railroad train last night Thorn
as 3. Reed took part in a discussion
with two Portland men and plainly ex-
pressed his sentiments In regard to the
war in the Philippines. One Of the
trends with him, who is radical ex-
panSioniSt, remarked that to withdraw
our troops from the Philippines now
would humiliate our nation before the
world. Mr.. Reed replied:
You don't think those Filipinos
would chase our soldiers 1000 miles if
they should start for home, do you?'
The Portland man replied that it was
not fear of the E'ilipinos, but humllia-
ton in the sight of other nations that
was referred to, whereupon Mr.. Reed
said:
i have always observed that with
individuals the fear OF humiliation is
exactly III proportion as they deserve it
and [ believe the same principle holds
good with a nation and with a party
Some people seem to be afraid tina,

in their cheeks at us. They have done
that already. They have watched oul
failure as others have. I don't know
how long it will be before the Amer
lean people get tired of spending fifty
million dollars year trying to conquer

! me it will be very long. I can conceive
that freedom is just as dear to them al
it is to us, and that they will fight fol

Probably no county in Kansas has
been more harassed by harness thieves
during the spring and summer of 1899
than Barber county, and probably Bar
Der county would not have been thus
afflicted if the county would have had
a competent and fair prosecutor. One
instance has just been brought to our
notice which ought to forever condemn
him as public officer as well as the
party which stands sponsor for him.
1t is case which comes from the south
part of the county, in which Glenn Nc
Coy's bride was stolen. Mr.. Mccoy
located the stolen property In the pos
session or party and he could have
clearly proved that the theft was COM
mitted by this party though he would
have been compelled to rely on testi-
mony of other parties and circumstan-
tial evidence. But the county attorney
| told him that unless he could swear
positively 10 this party's taking the
property. he would dismiss the case
and have the costs assessed against him
(McCoyl Mccoy. of course, refused to
testify positively because he could not
do so without committing perjury, and
the case was accordingly dismissed and
an order made. so we are informed that
the prosecuting witness be committed
TO jail until the costs were paid. Me.
| Coy, of course, refused to obey the or
der and the sheriff, recognizing that
the act was avowedly outrageous and
! unjust, did not execute the order OF the
| justice court. Had he done so, Mccoy
would now be in jail simply because he
invoked the protection which our laws
guarantee to every citizen. 1t is more
than probable that the gang that goi
| McCoy's bride, have the harness which
were stolen in various parts of the
county, and it IS equally probable thai
the arbitrary action of the county at
torney has encouraged them in theil

EDITORIAL DISCUSSION


There is no room for controversy be.
tween Populism and socialism 80 far AZ
the fundamental principles are con-
cerned. They are substantially the
same with the exception that socialism
goes a step farther in the ownership
and disposition of land. On the CUES.
tions OF direct legislation, finance.
transportation and ownership of public
Institutions they occupy similar posi-
lions and on the whole there is no diff
erence IL the tenets of the parties.
Hence we say there is no room for con.
troversy between the party principles
for the single reason that they are one
and the same.
But II we interpre. the first part OF
Mr.. Jesse's article correctly, there is
only one reason why socialist ticke;
has been nominated in Barber county
and that is because the Populists have
selected poor men, In his opinion, fol
the positions filed. Ii that be true.
those who now compose the socialist
party are equally responsible with those
who remain I'opulis.s. because they
have perhaps, not done their part to
prevent 1t, and furthermore how can
they say that the same thing would no,
be repeated IN the event that their new
party assembled TO power. Man at best
is fallible creature and has been prone
to yield to temptation ever since tbs

The socialists filed their

There are a few in Mingona,
two in Eagle and a few in
Elm Mills. The petition is
signed by some good men
and by some weak ones. Some
are honest, some are mlsguld-
ed and others have been
talked into it. The republi-
cans who signed it have an
eye to business. They say
openly that they will not
vote it but that they are
working an easy game for
suckers. If all the Populists
and none of the republicans
who assisted in nominating
the new ticket, vote it, the
probable result will be the
election of the republican
ticket, and we are satisfied to
permit the promoters of the
scheme to have undispute
possession of all the glc,r,
and comfort they can ge
out of it. We deplore tn
division but we do not ORC
pose to grieve over it.. and
while we believe better cour
