Toneka has been the scene of man,

Topeka has been the scene of many
receptions and celebrations in the
past, but if the weather conditions
are favorable the reception to the
Twentieth Kansas on November 8th.,
will eclipse anything ever before wit
messed in the city; in fact, if the wea-
ther is favorable there will be an i'm
mense gathering and the enthusiasm
will be unbounded and the display
unequaled. Nearly everybody in the
state is DESTROYS of being there on
that occasion, and all the military or
CARNATIONS and bands in the state
will come if transportation is provided
them. AS a one-fare rate for the
round trip will be granted to all by
all the roads leading to Topeka, and a
one-cent rate to all military organiza-
tions and bands ia uniform, it is evil
dent that there will be no lack of au-
dience to welcome the Twentieth boys
home.

publicans have always shown great
aptitude for the financial manage
ment of this country, both In peace
and war, and they are likely to still
manage it for some years to come, to
the best interests Of all. When in
their wisdom they think 1t time to
retire the greenback, they will be re-
tired, and the people will say amen.
Miss Frazier also seems very fearful
that some populist is likely to vote
the Republican ticket this year.
Well, Miss Frazier, we think you have
grave reasons to tremble on that line.
Thousands of former pOpullsts, this
fall, in the State of Kansas, have
publicly announced themselves as sick
Of the claptrap tomfoolery of the
populists and come out squarely for
the party of prosperity, expansion,
protection and sound money. And
thousands of Others have quietly
made up their minds that they have
been deluded and deceived by the out
and out demagoguery of Bryan and
his followers, and are going to quietly
walk up to the polls and vote with
the party Of we'll defined principles.
No, no, Miss Frazier, they are not
bartering or selling their votes, as
you would have us believe. They have
simply determined to not allow them
selves to be hoodwinked and bam-
boozled any longer in voting for
things they do not believe in.
They are honest and will vote their
and your slandering abuse
will not intimidate or bluff them.

A JUST CONCLUSION

We are pleased to note that the
Wilson Co. Sun, leading Populist
paper of the district, comes out
squarely in its last weeks issue in
support of Judge Stillwell. Bro. Lap
ham seems to have but three papers
in the whole district that are sup
porting him. The facts seem to be
that a great majority of his party
did not want to make any nomina'
tion against Judge Stillwell, and can
not be whipped into line against him
to crafty Bro. Lapham's ambition
and to satisfy the plans of few moss
back politicians. We give below the
Suns editorial on the iudgeship;
"The Judicial COMMITTEE seventh
Judicial District political pa. 'y nto
namedD is sending out from Chah, 'te
a circular letter soliciting support
for Amos S. Lapham, candidate for
district judge against, L. Stillwell,
on the grounds that Mr.. Stillwell has
held the office for sixteen years. The
circular says: We are opposed to life
tenure in office We favor a tenure
in office just so long as the official is
doing his duty, and as Mr.. Stillwell is
still well and making US a good and
just judge, we faver him, with all re-
spect to Mr.. Lapham and the conven-
tions that nominated him. If MI.
Lapham had been a faithful Judge
for sixteen years and wanted IL
again we would favor him.

THE VAIL OF THE SENTINEL

The Erie Sentinel last week in
dulged in a somewhat lengthy pane
gyric on the much abused greenback.
1t is quite amusing to read these
articles in populist and democratic
sheets nowadays, in which they ex.
press so much veneration and esteem
for the greenback, and then remem-
Der few years back how they abused
the poor greenback.
Then it was nothing but a vile Lin.
coin skin; something gotten up by
the republicans to defraud the people.
Then they failed to see any good in
the greenback, but now that it has
about served the purpose for which il
was created. they are very anxious
that it should be perpetuated. Pos
sibly they like the Cleveland endless.
chain system and want a few more
bonds issued.
Never mind, Miss Frazier, the Re

The war in Africa seems to be pro-
crossing at quite q lively rate' There
have been several sharp engagements
and a great many lives lost. So far
the Beers seem to have The decided

the war will be long and bloody. as
there are several million natives in

says that the -a'!lr has been trans

there is excellent. captain Higgins
witnessed two or three of the phenom-
and says that the Bitter Root string
is by all odds the best stable of colts
in California. They are winning re-
spect by the race players, who over
looked them at first. Mr.. Higgins states
that the winning of Ella Boland was
one of the most sensational events of
the year and that the Montana boys
lined their pockets in good shape.
Limerick, too, was a good thing for
those who played him for place.
Concerning the soldiers who are re-
turning from Manila. Captain Higgins
says: They are a sick looking lot Of
fellows They are all weak and pale
and their faces have a peculiar. drawn
expression that is CHASTITY. The skin
of their faces looks like stretched
parchment, and some of them are
scarcely able to walk. Since they be-
gan to scatter through the state, small
pOx has broken out all over California
and the people there are becoming
alarmed. That was one thing that has
tened my return"
Captain Higgins saw Editor Bradley,
formerly of this city. He has been
working on the staff of one of the
San Francisco dailies. but is now plan
ming to return to Denver. Brad is
fat and hearty and would hardly be
recognized by his Missoula friends.

Missoula, April 14.-Donald Bradford
of Helena, vice president of the arid
land commission, has been making a
short visit to Missoula. Mr.. Bradford
is much interested in the approaching
meeting of the irrigation congress in
Missoula and has promised that his
board will do all that it can to make
the meeting a success and to properly
advertise it. The arid land commission
is preparing a pamphlet on Montana
that will be splendid presentation of
the agricultural resources of the state.
1t will be arranged by counties and the
text will be accompanied by fine maps
and illustrations. Mr.. Bradford says
that about 10000 copies will be issued
and circulated freely. This will be
done some time before the irrigation
congress meeting and will be of much
service in connection with the efforts
that will be made to arouse interest in
the congress all over the country.

seems to be that the salary that is
paid to the carriers is not large enough

easily earn larger salaries than the

Filthy Condition,

Fllthy Condition.
Mssoula. April 14.-There can be no
good argument against the cleaning up
of the streets and alleys of the city
No one thing that can be done will
make greater improvement in the ap-
pearance and actual condition of Mis-
soula. There are those who have said
during the past week that it is wrong
to speak of these things; that they
ought to be left to take care of them
selves: that time will regulate all of
these improper conditions. The men
who say this are not the true friends
of the city. They would have the
Standard continue to say good things
about the city and its marvelously rich
country and would like people to believe
that Higgins avenue has been, all the
spring, model city street That sort
of advertising of a town will not do.
If faults exist in a city, the correction
of them will add more to city's repu
tation for worth than a studous effort
to conceal these faults There is no
man in the city of Missoula who does
not know that the condition of the prin-
| cipal business street of the city has
| been vile. He also knows that since
| the street department walked up, the
| condition of the avenue has improved
and it is now as good as any unpaved
street in the state. The improvement
| did not cost the city much. 1t was
worth hundreds of times what it did
cost. The same thing is true of the re-
! cent condition of the bridge. 1t was
disgraceful and was commented upon
| by many people who had occasion to
visit the city. Since the street depart
| ment has cleaned it it is all right. The
| only trouble is that it ought to have
been done weeks ago. Missoula has
many claims to the title of the most
| beautiful home city in the West. 1t will
| forfeit these claims if more attention
| is not paid to the condition of the
| streets and alleys.
