ALBION NOTES.
"By Writer. F"

''By Writer"
Well, We are all having a "hot
time," even some of the boys are
smoking.
Though the unfortunate girl may
be the '.last pebble on the beach"
may be like the best wine she 10 left
to the last.
We are sowing ever sowing, in the
| the paths where others move, and the
harvest that shall follow, shall fame
or blessing prove.
Are We sowing thorns and thistles
that shall pierce the travellers feet, or
| the seeds of golden harvest that
shall make existence sweet.
Fellow citizens! Will you not
agree with me that the Beers. Chi
nese and Philippine Islanders should
cry aloud as the keeper of the old
Philippine Jail done: "What must

The United Brethren church, of
the Galatia circuit, will be dedicated
September 18th. May it be opened
with all reverence and honor to Him
on high. May the servants of God
who will be appointed to preach in
that church be endowed with His
power as the apostles of old to learn,
guide and direct the souls in their
charge DER the dark fathoms of youth,

are invited to attend.
Our quiet serene vicinity was
shocked with the sad news of the
death of Maude Carroll, daughter OF
Elizabeth Carroll, of Blood creek.
, Her'short sickness and sudden death
caused profound grief throughout the
neighborhood. Sunday night, Sep.

the last time, the picture of life and

her short life of Is years she had

dying hour she realized it was her
T last; peacefully and quietly she passed
away. We contrast the death of this

A Hackman Killed.

About l O'Clock Tuesday morning
q quarrel arose between VIM. Hatton
and Chas. Pelter, the hackman, on
the street just east of the Hotel
Greene. AS near as we can learn, q
dispute arose over the amount Hatton
owed Pelter. The latter called for
D. P. Hamilton, young man about
% years old, who formerly drove hack
for Pelter. The two elected HaGton
from the hack, when the latter opened
fire, one of the shots hitting Hamilton
in the abdomen, from the effects of
which shot he died on Tuesday even.
ing about $50. A corone.s' jury Wed.
nesday decided that Hamilton "came
to his death from gunshot wound
inflicted by VIM. Hatton." A pre-
llminary examination is being held as
We go to press, Thursday afternoon.
There are many ugly rumors af1oat as
to the causes tending up to the killing.
and the facts will be brought out at
the trial of HatGon. The latter came
to this county from Galena, Kans.
and has been working up near Pawnee
Rock. He claims the shooting was
done in self defense.

Wichita, were placed in nomina-
ton. The first ballot resulted:
Duval 1873, Helm 70, Campbell
2, and Col. Tom Fitch Il.
Necessary to a choice 1913. The
second ballot was taken, pro-
crossing about The same, slight
gains for Duval, until Sedgwick
county was reached, when that
county threw 10 votes to Duval
and made his nomination GER
tain. Then there was a STAN
pede to change county votes
from Helm, Fitch, and Rose to
Duval, and before the final vote
was announced the motion was
made, and carried with a whoop
to make Claude Duval the unan-
imous nominee of the conven-
ton.
There was then a scene of the
widest enthusiasm. The opera
house, which was crowded to its
fullest capacity, rang with
cheers for the next congressman
for the big 7th. The two con
ventions then reconvened ii
their seperate halls and formally
made the nomination.

At Hutchinson Tuesday we ran
across several of the old Barton county
boys. and found them all happy and
contented. John w. Smith, formerly
of Eureka township, says he is doing
we'll, although he has been having
quite serious sick spell. He recently
returned from quite an extended visit
down in Barton county, Mo. Will
Kelley was busy as could be preparing
shipments of the famous Monarch
Mills flour to foreign lands. Will E.
Harper said the furniture business had
been rushing. Al. Schermerhorn and
wife had recently returned from the
mineral springs, improved in health.
Union Telegraph Co., was having bis
hands full of convention business.
Farmer O'Neal, formerly of Buffalo
township. had been fortunate in his
crop ventures this year. J. E. Fowler
was doing all he wanted to in the gro>
Gerry line. w. T.. Bryant, formerly of
Ellinwood, was about the same old
.'seven.and SIX" and all wanted to be
remem bered to Great Bend and Barton
county friends and neighbors, and all
also want the Barton county voters to
remember, on election day, that Claud
Duval is one Of the ablest. cleanest
aud most popular young men of Hutch
inson, and worthy Of the support of
every voter in the district.

DUVAL FOB CONGRESS.

The result OF the congressional
conventions of the democrats
and populists of the 7th district,
at Hutchinson, on the 18th, was
the nomination of Hon. Claud
Duval, by a UNANIMOUS vote OF
the two conventions in Joint
session.
Each convention was called to
order separately. Conference
COMMITTEES of seven members
each were appointed by each
convention, to arrange for get
ting together in one hall. The
majority of these two commit
tees favored joint meeting with a
two-thirds rule for nominations.
Others asked for a three-fourths
rule. A compromise was finally
agreed upon, to split the differ
ence half way between two-thirds
and three-fourths, and the con.
ventions met jointly with the
agreement that the candidate
to receive a nomination, must
have seventeen-twenty fOurths
OF all the votes cast; that there
should be no nominating speech
es, and that Hon. S. [. Hale, a
silver republican, should be
chairman of the joint conven
tions.

REPUBLICANS who take their
inspiration from the Hutchinson
news, and other republican
papers of that venal character,
are being gloriously buncoed.
The reports in the News OF the
congressional convention were
generally a mess of deliberate
lies from beginning to end; and
lies of the most ridiculous nature
which will only serve to
strengthen the anti-republican
voters in their determination to
defeat every republican on the
ticket.
The Republican governor OF
Wisconsin and the Republican
governor Of Michigan are strong
ly opposing the reelection OF Nc
Kinley. Each governor is quite
popular in his state and will dc
a great deal toward swinging it
for the native and the adopted
son of Illinois. The six states
of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin
will cast for Bryan 100 electoral
votes that went to Mckinley

The attendants about the building

All of them speak at least seven or
eight languages, and the chief of the
Interpreters speaks &c. In all there are
242 languages and dialects spoken by
the officers of the immigration com

When the immigrant has been passed
upon by the examining stats and he
has been given a clean, moral and
physical record, he is soon sent on the
completion of his journey. The rep
