 The city council has failed to accept the bids of three companies for paving one hundred strets with asphalt, and the mat ter will be taken upon a new basis. The competing firms were the Barber Asphalt Paving company, of New York; the Asyrian Asphalt company, of Chicago, and the Neuschalt company, of London. Undoubt- edly some system of asphalt paving will be adopted and possibly modification in prices may be made.

made at the earnest request of the repre- sentatiyes of the Hawaiian government
 For more than thirty years the Hawaiian government, has been dealing with the question of 1eprosy and attempting, to eradicate the disease. The thorough sys- tem of segregation was adopted and a place selected on the island of Mo:lokai where a settlement was established. The, efforts have been so far sueeessful;. with the exception of the patients now at the. settlement the disease has almost entirely disappeared. At t1lis settlement there are stiil about 1000 patients, Nho, together with three or four hundred assistants and helpers form a unique and remarkable com. mundty. Tt is deemed by those who are oonversant with the facts that it would be great misfortune to have the settie-. ment disturbed.

The Question of Lepers

An attempt has been made heretofore to obtain the consent of the Hawaiian govern ment to receive certain lepers from the pest house in San Francisco. There also was a Nike attempt made by the authorities in Samoa. If the United States should bear the expense, a portion of the expense of maintaining these settlements, 1t might lead to the sending of lepers from other parts of the country to Molokai The an- nua expjense of maintaining the leper set clement is $110,0e0.
 The annexation of the Hawaiian islands in the future will be of great advantage to the United States commercially as it al ready has been. The exports of the United States to the Hawaiian islands for eleven months ending with November were $10,- 206 157. The imports for the same periods were $21, ,672062
 The report says that whether it be true or not, that as a general proposition trade follows the flag, certainly in relation to Hawaii it may be truthfully said that trade has followed the flag.

Alfred j. Gebhard of Lamberton
who is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for register of deeds. was
born in New Ulm, in April of 1875,
making him little more than 25
years old at the present time. In 1876
his parents removed to Mankato,
where young Gebhard received COM
mon school education. He was assist
ant postmaster at St. Clair, Blue Earth
county, for three years. He removed to
Lamberton in 1891 and was engaged in
the hardware business until Jan. LIST
last.
Mr.. Gerhard has taken an active
part in the welfare of Lamberton and
surrounding country. He was an
officer in the Minnesota legislature
during the last session. He is an &C.
tive Republican, and as such, aided
materially in getting out full Repub-
lican vote for the State and county
ticket at Lamberton two years ago.
Mr.. Gerhard is an excellent penman.

these instruments. The words
"graphophone" and ''phonograph"
being frequently misused as having
the same meaning. The word pho
nograph was given to the first
crude model which demonstrated
that sound could be recorded and
reproduced mechanically; but this
early model was unsuited to practi-
cal, every day USE The graphic
phone was the first practical talk
ing machine, and the U. S.. Patent
Office has put all similar inventions
into one class, designating them
'.graphophones. ~
For entertainment. for instruction,
for practical use, or for any purpose
for which a talking machine may be
desired, the graphophone is I'M
equalled. The graphophone process
is the simplest, the best and only
successful one for recording and the
reproducing speech or sound. Great
improvements recently made, EN-
bodied in machines that reproduce
music and other sounds with the
full volume and vibrant power of
the original, at the same time pre-
serving all the original melody and
tone-quality, are due to the discov-
cry and application in the laboratory
and factory of the American Graph
ophone Company, (better known to
the public through it's selling de-
partment, The Columbia Phono-
graph company, Of new principles
which have revoIutionized the art.
The resulting type of graphophone
known as the Grand gives a
sound volume many times greater
than has ever before been attained.

tafnment graphophones Of all styles,
and machines that serve as substi-
tutes for stenographers for dictat-
ing and transcribing correspond
ence, is contained in the Columbia

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Topics of Interest Discussed at the
State Capital.

The national convention of the
Republican League Clubs at St.
Paul, July 1919, will prove the
grandest political rally ever held in
the Northwest. Governor Roose-
welt, the hero of the Spanish war,
had previously been engaged to
speak in the Auditorium on the
night Of the 18th, and now that he
has been made the party S candidate
for vice president, the outpouring
to hear him will seriously tax St.
Paul's facilities for entertaining the
vast crowds. One fare rates for
round trips will hold on all rail-
roads, and every State in the Union
will send delegations to St. Paul,
while Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wis
consin, Michigan and Iowa will
send thousands of enthusiastic Re-
publicans. Form league clubs and
60 to the capital city in body.
All delegates and alternates will
have reserved seats to hear Roose-
Wilt. Scores of leading Republican
statesmen will be in St. Paul during
convention week.
Not since 1892 have the conditions
been so favorable to Republican
success as today Now, as then,
there is but one candidate for gov
ernor, and the contests for the other
nominations are being conducted in
such spirit of genuine friendliness
/ that there is no possibility of hard
feelings after the convention. 1t
has been practically conceded for
months that the nominations of
Capt. Van SAINT was foregone con-
clusion, and the Democratic press,
recognizing this fact, long ago be-
gan training its batteries upon him.
Happily for the Captain and for the
Republican party, however, his
public record and private character
are such that the fusionists may
hammer away at him from now until
election day without being able to
find a flaw in either. His only
public service as an official was as
member and speaker of the house Of
representatives and in this position
he served without criticism and
reproach. The Republicans have
found the man to retire John Lind,
aud the work will be done in
| November.

Garden City, Kas., Dec. 11.-Our city
is just now considerably interested in
the sugar beet industry. Our citizens
sent Captain Ballinger to Rocky Ford,
Colo, to see what arrangements could
be made for next years crop. The man
ager assured him that if 500 acres could
be secured here they would pay about
the same price here as at Rocky Ford,
and send man to instruct the farmers
in planting and cultivating.
Analysis of beets raised here the past
two seasons shows a, large per cent. of
sugar, our soil and climate being par
ticularly adapted to the raising of sugar
beets. With proper cultivation from
20 to40 tons per acre, net, can be
realized, and we have several thousand
acres of rich bottom land around Gar
den City that could be made a. paying
investment.
About five acres is all one man is
able to attend to, and with our irriga-
ton and windmill pumps affords a fine
income to the gardener or small farmer.

LEAvENwoRTH SCHOOLS.
Sentiment Forming to Admit Child
rem of Parents at the Fort

Leavenworth, Dec. 1.-THE refusal of
the board of education to admit to the
public schools of the city certain chill
dren at Fort Leavenworth without pay
ing a tuition fee is rapidly creating q
sentiment, and especially among the
business elements, that will force the
board to open its doors to all fort chill
dren without regards to any legal rights.
1t is appreciated by the business in
terests that the immense trade secured
from the people at Fort Leavenworth
far outweighS any consideration of legal
rights.
Last spring the board was petitioned
to admit the children of those who
claim to have legal rights. The board
denied their claim and was willing to
go to the courts to test the question.
The case is now being heard and the
testimony already disclosed satisfies
those who have heard it that the board
has not a single peg to stand on Its
action has resulted in a discussion of
not far distant when the board must
comply with the popular will and throw
open the public schools to the children
of all officers, soldiers and employees.
It is pointed out that IeaVenWoFth
can not afford to ask for large federal
appropriations, the sending here of
thousands of troops to garrison the
largest post in the country, with a view
of securing their trade, and then de-
cline to assist in the voluntary educa-
ton of the army children.
Several business men expressed them
selves yesterday in favor of any steps
that will treat the fort children on equal
footing with the children of the city.

NEW CITY CENSUS.
Sam Radges Will Take One With
New Directory Data.

At the regular session of the CONNER
cial club which will meet Wednesday
night at the Commercial club rooms the
committee on the revision of the Topeka
census will make a report.
The committee will recommend that
Sam Radges be instructed to take an
official count of the population of the
city at the time when he takes the
directory.
Congressman Curtis who has been
handling the affair at Washington has
been informed by the census director
that nothing win be done in Washing
ton until the names of some of those
who claim to have been omitted from
the census is furnished the bureau. AL
though the committee has a number of
names which could be sent in it is the
opinion of the members of the commit
tee that il would be useless to do so.
1t has been decided that the best and
surest method to come at the correct
statement of the city's population will
be to arrange for it's taking by the or
ders Of the city council and the Com
nercial club.
