For nearly ten years populists have
been prOphesying that an effort would
come In the near future to fasten q
large standing army on the nation.
Ten years has been some time to walt
but now the prOphesy is proving true.
1t has not come before because the
time was not ripe. They had to walt
the'occassion. The Spanish war; the
temporary stimulation of the war spirit
and the opportunity for the promulga-
ton Of the expansion idea while the
people were filled with a military pat
riotIsm has brought the occasion and
the powers that have long been wish
ing for 1t have grabbed 1t with the avid
ity Of which only men Of their instincts
are capable. In the executive chair
they are fortunate in having an ally
whose principal ambition is to see how
we'll he can serge them and who pos
sesses q rare christian facility for max
ing war out Of kindness to the enemy.
In Congress as usual they have the sup
port Of the great party majority Of MIN
compoops who are ready to foreswear,
individuality and opinions at his bid
ding and GLORIOUS the old hymn, 10 10
be Nothing, Only to lie at His Feet"
This Is Of course always with the pro-
vlso that they get an occasional "Shake
at the plumb tree" The Philippine
war has given an opportunity for q lot
Of schemes Of plumber and building up
the great American ariStocracy which
could not have been successfully I'M
dertaken had there not been entangle-
mentS abroad to give color and excuse
and attract the attention of the people.

WHAT appears to be the most das-
tardly attempt at libel, born of pure
malice and innate cussedness, occurred
last week at Wellington, when Lyman
Naugle, the we'll known editor of the
Wellington Voice, was characterized
as wrecker Of homes and an eloper.
The article column long, was sent TO
a number of leading dallies where II
was published. 1t stated that Mr..
Naugle had mysterlously disappeared,
that his wife was lying at the point Of
death Of heart disease accustomed by
the trouble, that Naugle had conveyed
his newspaper property to his brother
and his life insurance to his father be-
fore leaving, that Mrs. Naugle had en-.
ployed attorneys to restrain this trans
fer of property but after u was too
late, that the trouble arose over Maui
gle's attentions to a Mrs. Marshal, ma
iron Of the Topeka insane asylum and
q trip to st. Louis and Indianapolis on
u pass Issued to Lyman Naugle and
wife. 1t intlmated quite strongly that
when he left he was joined by Mrs. Mar
shall. In day or two Mr.. Naugle re-
turned from Denver where he had
gone on business. But before he had
reached home another Wellington
newspaper, the Journal, answered the
story. 1t said, Mr.. Naugle had gone
to st. Louis and Indianapolis with Mrs
Marshal, but to visit some Of his wife's
relatives, with her knowledge and con.
sent, Mrs. Marshal being an old &C
quaintance Of both, That he had
transferred a life policy to his father
but some time ago, but 1t was small
part Of his insurance. That he had
not transferred his business. That
Mrs. Naugle had not employed any at.
torney to restrain her husband from
disposing of his property, and that
she was not lying at the point Of death
as reported. 1t did state, however,

REPRESENTATIVE Wise OF this
county introduced q bill In the lower
house giving the county treasurer au-
thorty TO charge TO the county general
fund, Sl4, 9l7.9S which was deposited
in the Hutchinson National Bank, now
defunct, and $l3. 70l ,05 which was de.
posted In the Bank Of Hutchinson,
now defunct. II is explained that
these amounts have been carried on the
books of the county treasurer as cash
and there IS no general law by which
the books can DO closed, Accordingly
when the county treasurer comes to
turn the Office oyer to his successor un'
less some such arrangement 10 made
the books would show that amount OF
cash he could not turn over. The bill
seems to be alright and will probably
pass, 1t Is provided In the bill that 1t
shall not be 80 construed as to In any
manner release the banks or their
bondsmen. Mcpherson and other
counties we are informed have been
compelled to resort to this same proceed
ure TO get the treasurers books cleared

for the special appropriation. He said
Hon. John d. Bellamy had also per-
sonally expressed his intention to ex-

There was a general discussion which

it constructed by a corporation and

was the most feasible, the stipulation
being made, Of course, that the rental
should only amount to a reasonable
interest on the money invested and the
city have the privilege of buying it at
a price to be fixed when the right to
place the system is granted.
On motion of Mr.. NJ. w. Jacob the
president was instructed to call a spe-

rush is over to more fully discuss the
matter and get it more thoroughly be-

1.-The thanks of the citizens of Flor

Atlantic Coast Line of South Caro-
lima for their very generous sympathy
for us in our loss. The contribution
of 25 per cent. of the freight money
on material for rebuilding is generous,
it is timely, nj it will encourage us
to begin work.. 1t will really be an ad-
vantage to us in the work and it will
encourage those who are anxious to
replace their burned buildings with
something ~up-to-date. We can secure
through this kind offer the finer grades
of material that go to make up fine
buildings in fine towns. The offer Of
the Coast Line is particularly crafty
ing, for it was spontaneous, it shows
something more han a kindly interest
in this city, something more than a
mere business relation between the
town and the railroad company. We
have a friend in the Atlantic Coast
Line and it's friendship for Florence
has been shown in more than one un-
mistakable way"
