If IS strange that some men are so
filed with the gall and venom of
selfishness that they are compelled to
spew it out just so often, and never
care whether it splatter upon friend
or foe. The editor of the Beacon, in
his senseless, uncalled for and
I'm warranted attack upon Mat Dick
has again proven the smallness of the
man. He goes out of his way to make
a personal attack upon Mr.. Dick for
the sole and only reason that Dick
did not favor him for county printer
at the January meeting Everybody
knows that, and for that reason his
vIndictiye mouthings will cut no
particular figure 80 far as Mat Dicks
election is concerned We would not
have dignifed the attack by even
the compliment of roast, were ii not
that we despise political migrate who
for purely selfish reasons is willing to
contrary the wishes of every friend in
the county who has in the past helped
him, In order to work off his venom
upon one whom he could neither
wheedle or bulldoze. La charging that
Mat Dick is not a democrat the
Beacon charges what it's editor, as do
all other men of fair intelligence,
knows TO be false. The Beacon editor
knows that Mr.. Dick got the unanim-
Gus support of the democrat delegates.
That office is not in his commi ssioner
district nor in ours; he was not called
upon to again open cowardly fight
upon Mr.. Dick for purely personal
reasons. The people of the county
understand this, we believe, and will
pay no attention to his further froth.
ings. We are very certain that neither
Mr. Dick now the democrats and
populists of the first commissioner
dictrict care snap what the Beacon
says or thinks about the matter.
The only harm he can possibly do
the most excellent ticket now before
the voters, is, that he gives the re-
publicans encouragement, puts words
in their mouths that may be perverted
to the disadvantage of the rest of the
ticket--not to che disadvantage of
Dick, however, for the more the
Beacon fights Dick the greater will be
mis- majority. If Mat Dick had a
paper of his own to fight his battles we
would let him fight them himself But
as he has not, we deem it our duty to
defend him, and to defend any and
all candidates upon our ticket when
wrongfully and maliciously assaulted,
and we shall continue to so defend
them against all such attacks.

From Citizen II

Corn just splendid.
Too wet for threshing.
Now rush the blowing.
They say wheat is yielding we'll to
the bulk of straw.
son the twenty fourth day of July
SOW your turn:ps wet or dry" Did
you do it?
Now is the time pretty school marms
are going the rounds winking at the
boys and hunting schools.
Those were fine rains that fell
Friday and Saturday nights of last
week and was just in time to mature
the corn.
LInder of Albion was among the
first on north side to thresh, and il is
stated his wheat yielded twenty
bushels per acre.
1t NAV be that corn this year will
be plenty and cheap enough so that
it will not be necessary next spring
for owners to use a spyglass to see
their horses shadow.
Max Matter the Grant Township
man who some weeks ago we reported
as being married in the old country
was not married as reported, but was
married a few days ago in this So
called new world of America.
Here you leading politician be
careful how you pound some of our
legally nominated candidates. The
majority said be was the man for the
Office. and a minority of one lone
editor can't change the will of the
one district; so better lay aside your
personal grievance and conclude ts
keep mum.
The farmers on the high ground
ridges boast of their big corn as they
haye a right to do. for corn this year
is good all over Kansas. But the
corn growing on Blood creek
surpasses all. There corn stalks
stand three abreast three feet apart,
nine feet high without kink, crook,
limb or woodpecker hole. with their
big ears as long as your arm on each
stalk; each one will make full mess
for 1900 Id horse or two messes for
300lb swine. Count Blood creek in
the lead on corn this year.
Is there any fraud and deception
used on worthy and good men who
enlist themselves in the race for office?
When a man tells you he is =
candidate for sheriff, clerk, county
treasurer or any county Office,
although the office seeker is perfect
stranger to you, think you see show
for free smoke or free sniff from
the bottle, yeu soon form an acquain-
tence with such candidate, talk to
him az though you had known him for
a generation. You say, so yes, Mr..
So-and-so, I've often heard of you 8
a competent and fit man" etc. Then
you whisper something about the DO.

the finish you jump the ropes to the

The remarkable demand for the stan

EXPERIMENTATION.
Trouble Taken to Make Alcohol Toe
Nasty 70 Drink.

Trouble Taken to- Make Alcohol 100
Nasty 70 Drink.
The. Lancet; Decentralization Is a
term which is now applied to that pro-
cess which renders certain substances
unit for human consumption. The pro-
cess has become necessity in modern
times in order to promote fairness in
commercial competition and TO cheaper
certain commodities when used e1clu-
sively In industrial operations. Thus q
few years ago the manufacture OF cat
feline was almost monopoliEed by Ger
many on account OF the fact that tea
intended for human consumption In this
country was too expensive TO extract.
Owing, however, 20 the representation
Of English scientific manufacturers, a
revised regulation was framed q Few
years ago according to which damaged
tea could be admitted duty free pro-
vided that It was 'denaturedY and rem
dered wholly UNIT for human consump-
ton by treatment with lime and asa
foetida-
Tea treated in this way Is now used
probably for the manufacture OF caf-
feline. and England has become the chief
seat OF the manufacture, and has thus
completely turned the tables upon her
competitors, for now the alkaloid is eX-
ported from this country to Germany
and America. A similar example, we
believe, occurs In the case Of damaged
or unclaimed tobacco, which previously
was destroyed in the queens pipe at
the docks Instead Of this waste going
on, such tobacco Is now largely used for
the preparation Of nicotine washes for
killing vermin, etc, Without "denat-
uralization" alcohol for the purpose Of
the arts and Industries would be so ex-
pensive as to be prohibitive, because 1t
would be drinkable. But recourse has
been made to adding substance to the
spirit which makes It undrinkable, but
which at the same time does not inter-
fere with Its properties for certain
manufacturing processes. Formerly
wood spirit was employed, but, such Is
the evil tendency Of human nature, the
vile mixture became cheap and favor
lite tipple. Next, a portion Of petroleum
spirit was tried, a method obtaining at
the present day. but even this has been
found to be palatable, Us It certainly
is an intoxicating, mixture TO some
persons
Cases are even recorded in which
some depraved wretches find parafine oil
an agreeable stimulant. The problem,
therefore, of "denaturing" alcohol cam
not be regarded as satisfactorily settled.
The latest suggestion is acetone oil, Of
which per cent Is said TO be sufficient.
But that nasty, nauseous, onion-smell-
ing liquid. allyllc alcohol, Is said to
give even better results added In the
proportion Of one-tenth to one-half per
cent In volume. The desideratal Of a
sdenaturalIzer'' for alcohol are that 1t
should render II unfit for consumption
without making It lnhammable. while
the material should be cheap and easy
to detect, and its separation by Tectifi.
cation should be Impossible for any
commercial advantage.
