A pretty good campaign argument was
brought to our notice in business trans
action made between two Of our Custer
county citizens this week. Mr.. A. is
handling sheep. He has some sheep
leased from Mr.. B. The lease has just
expired and Mr.. b. wished to have it re-
newed, Mr.. A., hesitated on the ground
Of the uncertainty of the value of the
sheep to him in case of Bryan's election.
They finally agreed on the basis ofSl 900
per annum in case of the election of
Mckinley, or 500 in case of the cleo
ton of Bryan. If business interest6
generally are effected in the same pro-
portion 1t is not surprising that so many
business men all oves the country are
turning from Bryan to Mckinley.

The Lead Tribune of recent date bays
it is currently reported that change Of
time on the Northern Pacific will take
place about the first of the month which
will result in a radical change of time
on the Burlington. The rumor is to the
effect that the change will bring the B.
& M. in early in the morning and that
the leaving time will be about 2:30 in the
afternoon. We do not pretend to vouch
For the truth of the rumor but give it as
the opinion Of the railroad men who
have heard it from those in higher au-
thority.

The Burlington has presented purse
of $500 to Charles Baxter, its express
messenger, who shot and killed train
robber on the Kansas City night express.
Baxter prevented a hold-up of this train,
killing one robber and putting the other
to flight jhet .an the safe was about to be
opened. Railroad men generally are of
the opinion that this prompt action on
the part of the Burlington man will in
terrupt the series Of hold-nps on the rail

A New Enterprise.

Charles Harr, late of Pittsburg, Kan, has purchased an acre tract ofland from Len White,j just across the railroad grade, and has com menced the erection of a building which he will use for 8 machine shop. MT. Harr is a practical machinest and will do all kind of repair work, making a speciality of boiler and engine work. He has a large machinery plant which he will ship from Pittsburg and expects to be ready for work in short time. This is distinc- lively a new enterprise for this country and we believe it. will not only prove a paying investment for Mr. Harr, but a great conven- fence for the people who operate machinery throughout the coun- try. As it is now, when a break down occurs several days delay and considerable expense is in- cured by having to send away to some foundry or to the manufac- turer for repairs. This is an en- terprise that we are sure will prove a valuable acquisition to the town and country.

Railroatt Stone Work.

M. H. Clarke, the stone con- tractor for thirteen miles of the railroad, from section 23 to 37, has established two camps on Dry creek and is taking hold of his work with vim this week.
 Mir. Clarke has sub-let the work on miles 23, 24, 25 and 26 to Holloway Bros. of Green For est. The rest of the work lie ex- poets to do himself. Mr. Clarke tells US that the masonry work on his thirteen miles embraces about half of this kind of work to be done on the line. He has the construction of piers for five bridges across Dry creek and one across Long creek, besides bridges across small streams and culverts too numerous to mention.
 Mr. Clarke's home is at Leba- non, Mo. He IS from Logan county here, having had a sim liar contract on the Choctaw road. When he puts on 8 full working force he will employ something. like hundred men.
 The stone used in this work is found quite conveniently to the places where 1t is to be used.

just plain William R. Smith. His home is at Sparta, a small town in Iowa.
 In a pamphlet just issued by Mr. Smith he announces his plat form, and asks for the votes of the people. A number of votes may be cast for him in Sparta by rel atives, who hope he may go to Washington.
 But the candidate hopes to con- trol the Smith vote in the United States and Kentucky. He has figured the thing out on a slate he borrowed next door, and the re- suit is satisfactory. He says the quotient he got shows that he can just about begin to pack his trunk the first of next March. The Smiths always stand together in politics as we'll as in city directo- ries. He vi! write to all his namesakes when he has time, and ask them to be true to the name. If he is counted out in New Jersey, he will be content if his success ful rival, Mckinley, will make him Minister to Frankfort.
 In setting forth his platform MT. Smith says: ''I am aware that it is generally believed by Republi- cans about the country that Mckinley desires to be renom- mated, and calculates to stay in Washington for at least another term, as he has taken root there. In case the Republican party de- sires to put Mckinley at the head of their ticket this year I am will ing for them to do so, providing that I can get the nomination on the Prohibition ticket.
 "I am willing to accept the nomination on the Prohibition tick ct, because 1 have enough confi- dence in myself and the doctrine I teach to believe that I will be elected, regardless of what ticket nominated on.
 "I believe in the doctrine of in- dividual independence and the right of,,self- government. While admitting that l am not thor ough- bred Prohibltionist, 1 desire to say that I have been a member of the Church of Christ thirty years, and am an advocate of temperance, and am in favor of any legislation which has tend- ency to restrain the manufacture and sale of intoxicating g liquor.
 ''I do not believe in the doctrine of absolute prohibition, because it would be impossible to enact and enforce such 8 law in the whole United States"

Census Supervisor Moss.

Hon. W. B. Moss, supervise of the third cencus district will make his headquarters at Eureka Springs.
 The Daily Times Echo says: "He has opened an office in the Floyd Wadsworti building, sec- ond floor, and is already very busy man.
 This district is composed of Benton, Boone, Crawford, Car roll, Madison, Marion, Newton, Ssarcy and Washington coun- ties, which gives 8 rectangular shaped area from White River on the east to the Cherokee Nation on the west. It embraces prac- tically the entire mineral district of Northwest Arkansas, which will necessitate much work of im- portance to the state and entire country. In addition to this the fruit resources will occupy a very prominent part in the reports, and taken altogether the district is one of the most important under direction of the department.
 Mir. Moss sent<in a list of ap- pointments for enumerators in the district, last night, containing 126 thames. These cover the entire district, and are all that are pro- Ivided for. They are, appointed |according to population and not |by municipal divisions, some Eenumerators having but one and So5hers two or three townships. For this nearly all will receive the limit of pay, which is three cents Nor each person enumerated, five @ents for each death during the Rast year, and fifteen cents each E tor farms"

Dewey Wants to Be President.

Dewey Wants to Be President.
 Admiral George Dewey whose herioc deeds while in the service of the United States navy have excited the admiration of the world, has at last made a grave mistake and is pushing himself before the people as Presiden- tial candidate. This story seems hardly credible since he so grace fully and becomingly' declined to allow his friends to use his name in that connection some months ago, stating that he was in no way fitted for the office and was content with the record he had already made.
 He has changed his mind, how ever. He is married man now and he has an ambitious wife and it is altogether probable that she has convinced the admiral that she could surely be a Presidents wife, and the conclusion that he might as well pick up any old nomination and be elected on his personal popularity has found Judgement in his cranium.
 The admiral does not seem to care what political party picks >>hhin up, is simply willing to be anvBody's dark horse that is dis posed >te, ride him.
 The fact that he is a candidate was made psslbiic by the follow ing publication in the New York World which, statement has g. since been varifSe5Ss55syz faS 5yz the the admir- al's private secretary.
 ''I realize that the time has ar- rived when I must definitely de- fine my position,'' the Admiral says.
 When I arrived in this country last September I said then that nothing would induce me to be a candidate for the Presidency. Since then, however, I have had the liesure and inclination to study the matter, and have reached a different conclusion, inasmuch as so many assurances have come to me from my coun- trymen that would be accepta- ble as candidate for this great office. If the American people want me for this high office, 1 shall be only too willing to serve them.
 ''It is the highest honor in the gift of this nation. What citizen would refuse it?
 Since studying this subject l am convinced that the office of the President is not such 8 very difficult one to fill, his duties be- ing mainly to execute the laws of Congress.
 Should be chosen for this ex- alted position, I would execute the laws of Congress as faithfully as 1 have always executed the orders of my superiors.

CONVENTION HALL E URNED
Hall in Which the Democratic Convention Was to Be Held.


 Kansas City, April 4.-The convention hall, Kansas City's pride, wherein the Democratic National convention was to have been held on July 4, was laid in ruins in less than thirty minutes time this afternoon from 8 fire that started from an unknown cause at 1 o'clock.
 The fire burned with such fury that it was evident almost from the start that the structure was doomed and the firemen soon turned their attention to saving the surrounding property.
 Plans are on foot to rebuild convention hail immediately and make 1t ready for the Democratic convention in July.
 While the fire was still in prog ress members of the commercial club, through whose efforts the hall was conceived and built, mingled in the crowds of specta- tors and began soliciting funds for new structure.
 This evening $25, ,000 had been subscribed. The Hall association has S10,000 in bank and will have S155 ,000 insurance for immediate use, the insurance companies having spontaneously agreed to waive the 60-day limit and make settlement on demand.
 The fire started at 1 clock this aftsafppon just above the boiler room iHnthe northeast corner of the b,,ildink on the alley, where some nl1n6erA had been at work. There was no 1ireNn the furnace and the suppositionNas tnaG the blaze started from a sMtflV lalnp or by one of the plumbefss efosal eS':,, ing the electric light wire. Ao1lll A1 alarm was first turned in. BySoo time the first engine arrived, fCSs minutes later, the whole building was a mass of flames.
 The entire structure, covering a half block each way on Thirteenth and central streets was turned into a furnace of fire before a sec- ond alarm could be sounded and in less than half an hour the roof, upheld by massive steel girders that spanned it's zoo feet of breadth, fell with a crash that sent showers of burning enbers in every direction and drove the firemen across the street.
 The brick corinthian columns lining the building along the fa- cades on Fourteenth and Thir- teenth tottered and then fell and the hall was a complete wreck, the work of about 15 minutes time.
 Flying embers started blazes on different residences within a ra- dius of two blocks and famed by 8 stiff breeze and aided by low water pressure threatened a gen. eral conflagration.
 inc lire, Wlllcn was Illaliy SO1- ten under control at 2:30, proved one of the quickest and most dan gerous experienced in Kansas City for many years.
 Convention nall had been class ed by travellers as one of the lar- gest and most perfectly construct ed auditoriums in the world. The building was erected in 1898 at a cost of 'S235, eco, which was raised entirely by public sub soription.
 The total seating capacity was nearly 10000 and with standing room the building Was capable Of holding more than 14,000 people.
