Long List of Solid Men,
"Fioppers" and Glad of 1t,


Wellington. Kan, Sept. 22.-sumner
county has always been a Populist
stronghold. Even before the days of the
Farmers Alliance, the Union Labor and
Greenback parties at different time elect
ed county officers. In 1888, when Kan
sas went Republican by $1,000, S. R. Pet
ers, a very popular man in this county,
carried it by a majority of only seven
votes ever the combined opposition. The
movement to convert the Farmers Al
lance into political machine in Kansas
originated in Sumner county. The first
restitution to that effect was adopted by
the county alliance in Wellington. In
1890, Jerry Simpson received LIZA major
ity in this county over Colonel j. r. Hal
lowell In 1896 Bryan carried the county
by 5S4; I4eedy by 475 and Simpson by 400.
But in 1888, change came over the spirit
of Summers dreams. Stanley carried the
county by 373 and Long by II. And there
is one peculiar and encouraging feature
about this county's vote in 1898. That
year the total vote of the state fell off
Republican vote being some 1900 and
the fusion vote about $1,000 less than in
1896 The total vote of Sumner county
fell off less than 300. But even with this
falling off in the total vote, the .Repub-
lfcan vote Of of Sumner county in 1898
was larger than that of 1896. In 1896
Morrill, received 2514 votes; in 1898, STAN
ley's vote was 2SO2. In 1896 Longs vote
was 1854 and 2,64O in 1898
The present political situation in this
county is an interesting one. A gen.
eral revolt against Democratic denomina-
ton is widespread among the old time
Greenbackers, Union Laborites and real
Populists. The fact is that for more
than twenty-five years the Democratic
party has been the minority party in this
county, but for several years past, by
means of shrewd manipulation they have
been securing all the best offices and
absolutely controlling the Populist county
conventions. Onl ythirteen people at
tended the Democratic county convention
that elected delegates to the Ft Scott
convention Yet the Democrats have the
sheriff, county clerk. treasurer and depu-
ty county clerk The presen eruption,
however, was caused by the nomination
of Claud Duval for congress. The Pop
ulst county convention that elected dele
gates TO the Hutchinson convention pass
ed a resolution against the nomination
Of either Campbell or Duval Demo-
cratic influences selected the delegates,
however, and ten Of the eleven of them
voted for Duval. Large numbers of the
Populists are openly opposing DuvaPs
election and are making an energetic
warfare upon the whole fusion deal
Many Of these people do not desire any
notoriety and are doing their work quiet
ly; others are open and above board.
An incident happened here Thursday
during the wheat carnival that well illus
trates the situation. Early in the day
the Democratic managers commenced the
distribution Of ribbon badges that read:

Early i'll the summer at a rcgu-

came along just then and, quietly
dctaching n bell from Baldwin 5

Jack thought the old horse was
coming, and said; Hang the old

The sound came closer.
"Grcat Jerusalem! The old blind

Bonner, Mon, Sept. 17.-This

Mr.. Bonner, after whom the

dcnce in MiSsoula and has retired
from active life and we understand
the plant ut Bonner is owned by
the Standard Oil Co. They man

that can be made out of wood.
Wages range from - to IS per
day, 10 hours work. The lumber
consists of tamarack, pine and fir.
The company has ordered 6 million
feet of soft pine from Idaho to be
shipped i'll during the winter
months. Only hard pine grows
here. The company have all the
orders they can possibly fill for the
winter, which will keep the facto-
ry running at its full capacity.
The sawmill will have to shut down
when the river freezes.

They are brought down the river

thing Dr.. Green urged was "strict
economy" He told us to get a
day book and keep an itemizcd ac-
count of every penny expended
and to have one column we should
name the ufool column" and cv-
cry thing foolishly expended put
in this column.
In the course of his remarks he
said, blessed is the man that can
be happy with II little" He told
us not TO spend our money on the
girls, buggy-riding over town, but
if we went with the girls, to walk,
and if the girls wouldn't walk, to
go by ourselves.
But, by the way, this is an in
teresting audience. Looking over
it we see many "new boys AS we
term them, and everyone of them
wears a serious expression; his eye
looks as tho newell, not rs tho
they were weak exactly, but undu-
ly exercised lately. Well do we
know how he feels, as well as how
he looks. Away from home that
he loves so well and among stran-
gers. three hundred of us, whom
he must learn if he ever loves. He
feels like the whole thing is IA fraud
that this thing of leaving home for
anything is cheat from beginning
to end. If he could get back home
without his friends finding it out
he'd go and that's sure.
How the thoughts of home flood
his soul! He thinks of everything
mean he ever did or said; of the
bitter sarcasm to mother, dear
mother, and his insolence to faith
or, and wonders why he never be-
fore properly appreciated the stur-
dy manliness of his father. He
vows that if ever home again they
shall never again witness anything
ungentlemanly from him. May
God help you to keep your vow,
my dear sir. But the most of Us
break them before we've been home
one week. Alas! It's sad, we new
cr appreciate our friends till we
lose or are separated from them,
and such is the depravity of our
natures we do not appreciate sweet
without the bitter.
But, all hail! to the boy who o.
vercOmes these feelings of dcspon-
dency and the inherent weakness
of his own nature, and persists in
education and the best equipment
for the conflicts of life.
The State is seeking such and
only such young men to defend
her rights and uphold her honor.
The Church wants his culture to-
gethcr with his piety and is will
ing to reward him in his cOnsccra-
ted efforts to bless and ennoble his
fellowmen. And in the home will
he be allowed to assume the office
of earth greatest bcnefactor. The
world needs men more than mon
ey-honest, cultured, Christian
men.
