The Bryan Rally.

Last Saturday night the Fusion
forces closed their campaign in
Meade county with a rousing rally.
A fine program had been prepared,
and was we'll rendered. Hon. A. B.
Reeves, of Dodge City, was present
and made short address. J. M.
Brannan also made short talk.
The Glee Club furnished music
throughout the evening. Mrs. Gray
sang a campaign song which was
pronounced the best that had been
heard this year. She was encored
and sang verse appropriate to our
local affairs. Mr.. Will Shelley had
composed a song for the occasion
which made a great chit"
1t was by far the greatest meeting
for the Fusionists in this campaign,
and also eclipsed any other political
meeting that has been held.
After the literary program a sup
per was spread that would haye been
good enough for w. ]. Bryan him
self, if he had been with us. A
goodly number of Republicans were
present and took part in the supper.
Taking it as whole it was the
largest, most enthusiastic and best
political meeting of the year.

present anu tOOk part IN the supper.
Taking it as a whole it was the
largest, most enthusiastic and best
political meeting of the year.
THE News has been vindicated
in every proposition it has made
this year in our county and township
affairs, and we feel thankful to the
people-Democrats, Populists and
Republicans who stood BY us in our
sweeping victory in Meade county.
There is a class of Republicans in
this county who do not approve of
chicanery in politics and demon
strated it at the polls Tuesday. We
do not claim that WE did it all, and
think the above parties are entitled
to much credit.
In the election of S. D. Adams,
we rejoice at his large majority over
his opponent, Mr.. Edmonds. Mr..
Adams is a gentleman in every sense
of the word and no one in this dis
trict will ever need be ashamed of
voting for him.
Our course has been upheld in the
election of John Conrad for Com
missioner of the 2nd district. His
majority in the district is 50; S. in
Meade Center twp; 1o in Crooked
Creek twp. Will Schmoker carried
Odee twp. by IS majority.
Our position was sustained by the
election of Judge Selvidge for Coun-
ty Attorney. His opponent, F. M.
Davis, had been circulating all kinds
of false rumors in regard to Mr..
Selvidge and the result shows that
the people have the utmost con-
fidence in Selvidge.
There is no better qualified young
lady in Meade county than Miss
Maggie Martin, who was elected
County Superintendent. She has
been teaching the Grammar Depart
ment of our city schools this winter
and is highly esteemed by everyone.
She began at the very bottom step
of the ladder and has constantly
4 worked her way up step by step.
More than ten years ago the writer
went to school to the same teacher
with Miss Martin and little did we
dream that we would ever make the
announcement of her being elected
to the position of Supt. of Schools
of this county. We cannot speak
too highly of Miss Martin and pre-
dict that she will fill this Office with
the same satisfaction that she has
given everywhere that sheh has taught
school.
i John Elliott ran like scared jack
rabbit, never even stopping to lool
back. His majority is one of which
he may well feel proud.
i w. j. Woodard, for Probate Judge
did not fare as well as the other can
didates. If the Democrats of Mead,
) Center township had stood by hin
as they should, he would have easil]
won out. We regret that some o
our own fellows will do this, but Mr.
Woodard made good race notwith
standing.

Mr.. Gilmer addressed a large audience
here in the court house last night The
notice was short, but the people turned
out largely to greet them.
Gen. Toon was introduced by Mr.. Plato
Collins, president Of the White Suprem-

He portrayed in eloquent terms, the alb
solute necessity of certain degree of ed

adoption of the amendment could work
good, and good only, to both races. He

of an answer that would have been
much more satisfactory to them The
delegates were disappointed at the re-
Spouse made by Secretary Hay, indicating
that up to the last moment they had
cherished a hope that the United states
Government would be favorably moved
Now, however, that the answer is re-
turned, it is expected that the delegates
will go at once about the second branch
of their business and begin series CT
mass meetings and public demonstrations
in the principal cities of the United
States with a view to affecting public
sentiment and perhaps indirectly irtiu
encing the terms of the peace which viii
conclude the present war. 1t is gathered
that the Beers are ready at the last
extremity to sacrifice everything e5r
which they have heretofore contendcd;
to let in the Uitlanders to equal privi
leges with native Beers in the Transvaal
and Free State; to abandon the much
talked of dynamite monopoly and in
fact to make any concession if the Veto
rious British will but allow them ;rde-
pendence and they hope that the Amari-
can people will bring much moral pras
sure to bear upon the English that this
object can be attained.
Meanwhile, it is the opinion in official
circles here, that the prompt action OF
the State Department in dismissins, the
Beers application for Intervention las
indirectly gone far towards bringing about
a speedy termination of the South l.fri-
can War. 1t is assumed that the dee
gates will find some means to communi- :
cate the unfavorable reception OF their
appeal to Pretoria. In fact it is minated
that the controlling British censors
would not stop any such message from
passing over the cables ito Lourenzo
Marques, whence it might easily be for
warded to Pretoria.
The State Department has not yet been
addressed by any of the powers signatory
to The Hague Convention asking our Gov
eminent to join with the twentyf five
powers party to the peace conference, in
an effort to bring about peace between
the British and the Beers. 1t is doubted
here whether more than a very few &
the powers are in a position to act thus.
no matter how inclined, because SO Ear
as the State Department has been in .
formed, not more than half a dozen iii
ALL including the United States have yet
given in their formal adherence to the
peace convention.
Washington, May 22-According to Mr..
DeBruyn. the secretary of the Boer en-
vcys, the latters program for the future

They were allowed to lie upon the

Mr.. PIatt, On. ", chairman of the
Committee on Printing presented a
report on its investigation of the
private publication of Messages and
Parers of the Presidents and it was
read in full.
Mr.. Gallinger inquired of Mr.. Platt
if his committee had taken any action
upon resolution he had introduced
providing for the publication of thirty
thousand sets of the work. for which
he said there is great demand.
Mr.. Plat replied that no action had
been taken as the adoption of the res
oiution would involve an expenditure
on the part of the Government of
more than 100000.
Mr.. Gallnger directed attention
to the fact that the cost of the work
to the Government was about s7 a set,
while the private concern which was
printing it sold it to the public at
$34 Il set. He thought the commit
tee might well report back a resolution
to publish 10000 or 10000 sets. If
the Government was not able to print
the work for the scholars and libraries
of the country be thought an arrange
ment ought TO be made to print the
work and sell it at cost. The report
of the committee was ordered to be
printed.

FIVE PER CENT.

Five per cent of the men who take
the Kelley Treatment at Greensboro re-
turn to their addictions. The causes are
numerous. but perhaps the most general
reason is that about five per cent of tno
human family cannot account for what II
will do. If twenty-one men have beer
treated and one has fallen, while the
other twenty are walking upright, living
sober lives, you never hear of them, but
only Of the one poor creature who has
fallen. The men who would crticise a
