Richards Will Convene.

KICHdIuS W III SOnfShS'
It's not usually our custom to
burden our columns with the inter
nal struggles of Republican strife,
but during the last few days some
things have developed in local Re-
publican circles, which we feel ought
to be known in the rank and file Of
that party, and of which We are GER
tain they will know nothing, unless
We advise them through the columns
of the VOICE.
Some time since the regular ma
chinery of the Republican party
called its party nominating conven>
tion to be held in Wellington, on
Tuesday, August 9Th, 1899. The
most skeptical or doubling Repubi-
cans were assured, as they usually
re,that a square deal was to be had
and melted out to all who desired to
offer themselves as a sacrifice at the
shrine OF Republiranism. From that
time forward the various candidates
have each waxed warm and weary
in acquainting theRepublicans of the
county with their peculiar fitness for
office and the reasons why he should
be chosen as the party standard
bearer, in the coming campaign.
Each, in his own mind, felt that he
was willing and anxious to submit
his claims for party recognition tc
the judgment OF his Republican
peers. Each serenely feeling that
before Republican jury selected at
large from the ranks of the party, he
could not fail to receive equal and
exact Justice" This was as it should
be in this our representative form Of
government-waere all Gust powers
are derived from the consent of the
governed" Political parties, should
IN the maintenance Of their organi-
1ation, have the same regard for
those it represents and recognize in
their deliberations the same degree
Of Representatives, as a state or
nation which claims to be distinc.
lively Republican should in its
methods Of government. In each.
the individual is everything; and the
whole is constructed from individual
ants.
But let US see what is the status of
the individual now, several W, eks
since the Republican convention.
traught with so much pretended fair
ness, was called. While the unsus.
pectlng candidate has been honestly
trying to convince his compeers that
Nae was the proper subject for politi,
cal recognition, and declaring his
anxiety to be the sacrifice offered by
The party at the next election-there
are others-few, It's true, but Others
who have also been at work.
These few have not driven over the
county, subiecting themselves to the
bEoiling sun trying to ascertain the
wishes Of the Drawn and brain of the
Republican party Of Sumner county,
Dat rather have they been riding
from place to place, from point to
point, upon railroad passes in Pull
nan Palace coaches, telling the
POWERS THAT BE, what the Republi-
cans Of Sumner county want and will
DO. These self>constituted and self.
imposed guardians Of Sumner Re.

Richards, fit from Wellington to

peka, to Atchison, 10 Leavenworth
and to Medicine Lodge with more
alacrity than a sparrow fits from

"whom he may devour." VIII
orty-two census takers to appoin
in Sumner county, ne proposes tC
award the county offices only tC
those who will "bend the pregnan
hinges of the knee, that thrift may
follow fawning." A short time since
he warned all applicants for censu,
taker to wait awhile, before pushing
their claims. Some may have nc
claims to push, in his eyes. This
was done to see who could pay hin
the highest price in delegates in the
county convention, next Tuesday.
Last Friday, Sam Cobean, Of Con.
way Springs, was summoned to Wei
lington by Richards, and it so chap
pened" that Tom Mordy was also
here in reach on that suspicious day
After several hours OF consultation
with Richards, it was unanimously
agreed that Sam Cobean was to bt
nominated for County Clerk am
Tom Mordy for Comm Ssioner O
the Third District. OF course Greg.
DRY Allen had thought he would like
to run for Commissioner, but-he
failed to see Richards, and the "iie
is up" Again on Saturday it chap.
pened" that Jno. Lingenfelter, Jno,
Mlllald, W. S. Nelson, VIII. Carnes
and Mace K rk all were in town, and
in regular and solemn order each
pledged his answering and undying
allegiance to the future demands oI
the Richards regime and all became
serene and smooth, on the Republi>
can river.
The delegates who sit on the Re
publican jury on August Sth, 1899,
will announce the verdict, already
reached by Richards and his cohorts
as follows:
For County Clerk, Sam Cobean, of
Conway.
For Deputy Sheriff, Jno. P. Willard, of
Wellington.
For County Treasurer, w. S. Nelson
of Wellington.
For Deputy County Treasurer, Vim H.
Carnes, of Wellington.
For County Register of Deeds, NJ. H.
Kirk, of Wellington.
For County Surveyor, Chas. L. Rob-
erts, of Wellington.
FOR County Commissioner, T.R Mordv
of Belle PLANE.
For Deputy County Commissioner. "A.
Richards, of Wellington.
For County Sheriff, Jno. w. Lingen-
felter, of South Haven.

whom served their country on the

considered by the Richards gang as
sufficiently patriotic to serve their
country in the office of register Of

Neither does it matter to Richards
that Dan Holiday or Bill Harden.
brook served their country in II.
civil war, but they are not fit in
Richards estimation to serve their
country in the stormy battles of the
sherif's Office of Sumner county
Kansas.
In fact nothing beats so harmon
lously upon the ear Of Richards as
the sweet song of Power and Pie
He who delivers the most Power
will receive the most Pie. This is
now and will ever be the impulse
which shapes, impels and controls
the actions of a. A. Richards.
Nothing better tickles his VANITY
than when his cohorts say to him.

UPPER REGIONS OF THE AIR.
UnexD1ored Space Is Very Much More
Interesting Than the
North Pole.

Above us there extends vast unex-
plored space far more interesting from
scientific point Of view than the lev
regions around the north pole. No one
can reach the limit of the upper regions
of the air and live, unless he carries
with him air to breathe and fuel to
warm him; for at the paltry distance of
ten miles above the earth the air is too
thin to support respiration, and the
Thermometer would register far below
zero. Ii would be n region of perpetual
snow on peak CT the earth if it should
rise TO such height. y person in. bal
loon could not hear friend in Il neigh
boring balloon, even if they were near
enough TO shake hands. There would
be no medium for the propagation Of
sound waves. There would, however,
still be medium in fact OF great con-
ductibility-almost as good as a metal;
and IL is this medium at even n less
height which Tesla proposes to use in
his methods of transmitting power
hundreds of miles through the air with
out wires.
We live under blanket of air which
protects us from the extreme cold of
ouieI SFdce. L HIS low temperature be-
comes evident 14,C00 or 1900 r. ct above
the surface Of the earth, and would, as
l have said, reach point sar below zero
at height Of ten miles. At this height
we should no longer observe the twink
ling OF the stars; for this scintillation is
due to the movements Of our atmos-
phere, which at the height have men,
TONED would be extremely rarefi>d. If
one could photograph the suns spec
trum at this altitude we could greatly
extend our knowledge of the shortest
wave lengths of light; for the atmos-
phc:e completely absorbs such wave
le Gths as are concerned in the X-ray
phenomena. That this absorption real
~ takes place can be proved in a labora-
tory.
The heat and light which we receive
from the SUI. are thus greatly modified
by this biaEketiTg layer of air. The
long waves OF the energy from the sun
arc called heat waves. The interme-
Cifte waves are Ted light waves;
