Some of the papers complain be-
cause they say Governor Stanley visits
the state institutions and pays his
expenses out of his contingent fund,
while others assert that he pays his
own expenses If the governor visits
the institutions for the purpose of as
certaining whether they are being
properly conducted or not, and where
he finds abuses takes prompt steps to
apply the remedy, there can be no
good reason why he should pay his
own expenses. In fact, it is difficult
to see how his contingent fund could
be put to better use.-Gaylord Herald.
Whether Governor Stanley ought to
pay his expenses out of the contin-
gent fund or ought not, makes no diff
ference in this case. The fact is, he
has paid them out of his own pocket
while making his tour of investiga-
tion. The further fact remains that
the governor has never made trip
of any character since he has been
governor in which the expenses have
been paid by the state.-Ottawa Her

IF the supreme court of the United

which she is made to look like fish

to the human race According to
these pictures and there are millions
of them printed every day a woman
to be sin fashion must have. the
shape of an angle-worm; and hundreds
of thousands of young women, in their
efforts to look fashionable, wear cor
sets that force the stomach down
upon their bowels, their bowels upon
their reproductive organs, thus not
only destroying their own lives, but
the lives of any children they may
possibly have; or, if not destroy them
at least filling the world wi it'll nervous,
no credit or a benefit to anyone. If
the women of this country would
spend less time chasing the ballot
and more time in an honest effort to

by both men and women to be fash

Our PopuliSt readers and we have
lots of them should read the following
and ask themselves if this is not a
Jewell Republican:
If there is an honest Populist in
Jewell county, and there are hundreds
of them, we want to ask him if the
basis of his opposition to Republican,
ism four years ago was not the hard
times and the difficulty he had in get
ting along? Low prices and the ar
mics of unemployed and general con-
ditiOns of gloom and depression were
the sum and substance of all his talk
and all his argument. These things
have all passed away, contrary to
every prediction of Mr.. Bryan and all
his satellites. There are great many
men who left the Republican party
for the reason we have mentioned
These reasons do not now exist. The
PopulIst leaders simply fooled them
by blaming the Republicans for
things that the Republicans being
out of power, were not to blame for
The Populists and Democrats are now
trying to trump up IL lot of new issues
to fool them again. They cannot
make the calamity issue work now,

they can whoop up for one campaign,

after denOuncing the old parties a
hundred times and resolving to keep

let the Democratic swallow and as
simulate their national organization.

HAS TIRED OF BRYANISM.
Judge M. B. Nicholson, Long a Fusion
Leader in Kansas, Will Vote For
Mckinley.

Mchln1ey.
Judge NJ. B. Nicholson, of Council
Grove, for many years one of the fu-
sion leaders of the state, and who has
frequently been mentioned by the fu-
sioniStS as candidate for associate
justice, has tired of Organism and
''the haul down the flag" policy of the
fusion party IN the state ana nation.
He proposes to vote for Mckinley
this year. His declamations regard
ing the matter will no doubt cause
much commotion among the fusion
lists on account of the prominence he
occupied in their party.
81 propose to vote for Mckinley
this fall, if l live so long as that
said the judge. 81 have grown weary
of the course that is being pursued
by the opponents of Mckinley, In
fact, l have been getting more and
more weary ever since the Spanish
American war broke out. 1 wasn't
much in favor of getting into that
war. / thought it might have been
avoided, but we got into it and from
that time there was no course for a
loyal man to pursue except to sustain
his country. My boy enlisted and
while | hated to see him go, / did not
try to dissuade him. Before the war
commenced, the opposition, that is
our party, were doing their best to
drive Mckinley into it, ready or not
ready. Mckinley was doing his best
to prevent a war, and l honor him for
it. t was the right thing, the patri-
otic, the humane, the statesmanIike
course to take. AS soon as war was
declared the very people who had
been bowling at Mckinley for not
commencing sooner began to abuse
the administration because there
was some sickness and lack of equip
ment among the troops. They never
missed an opportunity to abuse Nc
Kinlev and his administration, al
though there never has been an army
of 25O, 900 men got together and equip
ped under the same circumstances in
the same length of time. 1t was SIM
ply wonderful that the government
of the United States was able to do it.
Since the war commenced, rything
else has followed as a natural and log
ical sequence, but the Democratic
managers have done nothing but
kick, kick, kick. There has never
been time since Dewey sailed into
Manila bay that our government
could have let go of the Philippine is
lands with consistency and honor.
We DESTROYED the only government
there was in the islands and we were
in duty bound to supply a government
in the place of the one we had de-
stroyed. To say nothing about mill
tary or commercial consideration, it
would be an Observation-Disclosures "a cruel |
act, a contemplate act, for the Unit |
ed States to withdraw our troops now. |
1t would leave the natives who have |
been friendly to US at the mercy of |
banditti whose only idea and purpose |
would be to revenge and plunder Nc
Kinley has been right in his conrse in |
the Philippines He was right all the /
way through the war with Spain and |
L propose to support him. / am an

patriotism nor common sense in the

now and l don't propose to stay with

A MEXICAN BEAN CLOCK.
Exceptionally Clever Fraud Perpctrsted
nv an Ingenious Jewcler.

by an Ingenious Jewcler.
A few years ago public curiosity
was excited by the curious beans
called the devil beans of Mexico,
which shopkeepers placed in their
windows. They somewhat resempieo
roasted coffee beans in shape ana
color They were also known as the
jumping beans" owing to the fact
that from time to time they made
spasmodic movements which propelled
them quite a little distance. The
beans grew on small bush in the
Mexican mountains, and 1t Is con-
jectured that they belonged to the or
der euphorbiaceae. The bean really
consisted Of three similar pods which
formed single bean, 1t is usually
third Of the bean which was exhibited
as curiosity. On opening the pod II
was found that 1t contained small
larva, something like that frequently
found in chestnuts. 1t Is this little
occupant which gives motion to the
bean by its jerks and thumps against
the side of its home. Ii the bean Is
slightly warmed it begins TO turn
from side to side, and perhaps with
sudden thump turns completely over
and stands on one end. and then by
successive jumps moves quite dis
lance. Those who are not in the Sc
cret are often greatly puzzled by this
strange bean. An enterprising jew
eler devised a scheme OF utilizing
them TO make magic clock He &C
complished this by initiating the shape
Of two of the beans, making the
dummy beans out OF soft iron. One
he gilded and the other he silvered,
The prepared iron beans were placed
with the ordinary jumping beans on
thin white piece of pasteboard, out
lined and numbered like the dial of a
clock, but devoid of hands. The
dial was located over the works of a
large clock, which was placed face
upward on the floor Of the store win
dow. He fastened small magnets to
the ends of the hands. The works
were of course carefully hidden from
view All that was in evidence was
the cardboard clock dial and the
jumping beans, among which were the
gold and silver painted iron beans.
These were placed on the cardboard
over the concealed hands with the
magnets attached. The magnets were
moved by the hands of the clock SO
that they were almost in contact with
the cardboard AS they moved around
they carried the iron beans with them
thus telling the time of day, and the
public was greatly interested by the
intelligence shown by the two beans,
which distinguished them from their
lively associates. Ameri-

Linen Locker. Aboard shin.

There are no laundries on board
ship; they take up too much room. Sc
the chief steward lays in thousands OF
pillow slips, sheets and towels. These
come on board tied up In bales OF .
dozen each, and are stored in the liner
locker, cubby-hole of a place on the
main deck; the ventilator pipes from
the engine-room run through 1t and
keep 1t hot. There Is no danger o.,
linen getting widowed there. The
linen which has been used is thrown
into another room provided with the
same atmosphere, and is kept thor.
oughly dry. Where there are clean
napkins every day, frequent changes
of stateroom linen and an everlasting
replenishing of towel racks, the de.
mands upon the linen locker are very
extensive.
