Newton ALLEN, chairman of the
Republican congressional committee
of the third district, charges that
Mort Albaugh, state chairman, took
$4,000 contributed by the national
committee to help elect Kirkpatrick
and used it for the benefit of Chester
I. Long. Allen says that Kirkpatrick

THERE is no doubt in the minds of
the general public that the charge OF
Allen is correct. The whole republic

Q to defeat Jerry Simpson. 1t never
could have been done without in
fuences outside of this district being
brought to bear in the fight. Don't
for a moment think all this effort and

OLMITZ.

From ''Searcher."
Just give us.now little tin ,,
Till we song you sing, with little rhyme:
''The Olfnitz Poet, :" Mr.. Ed, did You say? =
Wrong You are, for here is the way:
= Blood Greek Bachelors wrote that song.
And being long winded he strung 1t out long;
He scarcely took time to draw his breath,
For fear such poetry would cause his death.
Who he meant it for is plainly seen,
And the kids he'll find are not so green
But are well able to hold their part,
And may cause him to moan with broken
heart:
And wish that poet he'd never been born
And only invented for hoeing corn
Now the kid writer's have plenty of grit
You had better be careful or you'll surely get
bit.
Now-wi either side we don't take part
But only write this to give you a start.
This is not Olmitz poetry by long sight
Who claims it as such may have to run or fight,
When the 'Olmitz Poet" reads this twill make
him stagger
And he'll say here goes TO beat that braggsr-
But it matters not how hard he may try
He never could beat Pumpkin Pie"
But If he should write and our poetry smother,
As sure as the dickens we'd write him another
A big snow up this way Monday.
Protracted meeting will begin at
Mt. Olivet church Feb. 18th.
Some folks say "For.get-me>nots"
had Twins" week before last.
IF you don't care what you say,
Saturday last was pleasant day.
Hickey Joe and Schwartz Bill we're
visiting on Blood Greek one day last
week. s-t-fs
The wind of last Saturday did a
great deal of damage to late sown
wheat.
The revival meetings still continue
at Galatia, quite number are being
converted.
A good crowd came out to hear the
temperance lecture at the Eseleigh
school house on Friday night.
1t seems very strange, (but it is
true and We can prove i), that most
young ladies of Olmitz have been liv-
ing part of their time this winter up
on hard drink-skating on ice you
know.
The box supper given at the Albion
Center school house on the evening OF
the 24th was well attended; proceeds
amounted to about $1,000, which goes
towards purchasing an organ for that
place.
We read a few days ago in a noted
newspaper of wide circulation, this
item "When the great artificial lake
near Hoisington, Kansas, is filled
with water it will be fourteen miles
long and six miles deep" IF this
comes to pass as stated in that paper
our people can fit out their skiffs and
boats and sail to the moon to visi
their long unseen friends.
Competition in many kinds of bust.
ness Is gathering in at Olm1tz, and al
competition is said to draw bushes,
and make lively trade our people say
let it come aud welcome. Olmitz il
surrounded by vast scope of rich
and productive soil and is able to give
many more business men. then it now
has living. We hear Samuels from
the city will soon be here with a stocl
of goods.
