The ice cream supper at the

the hour of seven o'clock had ar
rived it seemed as if all the young
people for miles around had CEN
tered upon that one place for their
evenings entertainment. The cit

represented. The grove in front
of the house was most beautifully
lighted, and when, shortly after
nine o'clock, the crowd gathered
there for supper, sight met their
eyes which fully satisfied their
every desire. Large tables beau
tifully decorated, groaning under
loads of ice cream and other
tasteful delicacies, were there in
abundance. After supper, some
retired to the croquet grounds

| animated game, while the greater
part of the crowd gathered i'll the
parlor where they engaged in va
rious games, and were most high
ly entertained with music fur

ter eleven O'Clock the crowd de-
parted, each expressing themselves
as having enjoyed most pleasant
and enjoyable evening.

Boss Hanna In his speech In Aber-
deem S. d. last week had TO answer
Bome questions about trusts, and lie
finally disposed Of them all by using
his old explanation that there are no
trusts within the meaning Of the law,
that the Sherman anti trust law had
killed them all. Now that 10 cheer
full view OF The case, but he failed to
say why the republican party which
has full and complete control Of both
houses of Congress had not made some
laws to cover those trusts that are, he
explaiDe, not within the reach Of the
present law. His answers can only be
be construed as denying that The trust
question Is an issue, and that it is
settled, which Ia the Identical
thing the populIst and democrats
have all this while been cOntending
was the attitude Of Hanna and the re-
publican party, and the trusts. What
more can they want than to be let
alone.

ABOVE we present to the readers Of
the Gazette a very good portraitot Mr.
Guy M. Woodscn, the present populist
and democratic candidate for county
superintendent, Mr.. Woodson is a
young man who has spent all but the
FIRST three years of his life in Reno
county. All but very small portion
OF this time has been spent in the
school Of this county. He first finished
the common school course and then
graduated from the high school Of
Hutchinson. After this he spent q
yeaI in the State Normal at EmpOria,
lie then commenced teaching his
llrst term being in the Lawson dis
tIlCt, No. 10, about ten miles south
east of this city. Three terms in sue
ceasicn he then taught In the Pleasant
Valley district south Of Arlington. For
his next term he was employed ss
principal Of the schools at TuroD. He
taught but one year at that place but
was offered the position again. The
three succeeding years he was prlnci'
p al at Pretty Prairie. In 1899 and
1900 II has been one Of his pupils that
sc cured the prize for attaining the
highest grades in the examination for
grad uation from the county schools.
We are informed that through some
source not known iG has been re-
ported in certain sections Of the
county that Mr. Woodson only holds
a second grade certificate, does not
care for the office and was only put
upon the ticket for figure head. Now
concerning this we wish to say that
at the FIRST examination be ever took
he made an average OF ninty'one on
the branches required for a first grade
certificate. He has never taken an
examin tiOn when he received an
average too low to entitle him to a
first grade. His highest average was
ninty-six and a fraction and his pres
ent certificate granted in August, 1895
shows an average Of ninty.lye and
fraction. Mr.. Woodson las been
handicapped in the campaign by reason
of the illness Of his father but is now
making an active canvass of the county
and is daily receiving assurance of a
loyal party support and. the support OF
many republicans as we'll. He Is o
young man Of high ambitions and
undant energy. His personal char
acter is above reproach and his schOl-
arlY qualifications as will be noted
above are as good as could be found in
the county. He is worthy represent
alive Of the product Of Reno county't
progre ssive schools and under his sup
ervision they would continue to i'm
prove and grow in effectiveness. The
party is proud of him as its candidate
and can and does with satisfaction
solicit his support.

Breidenthal's socialism Is beginning to

LAST week We printed II short article
concerning the attitude of Abraham
Lincoln toward the administration
during the Mexican war, We showed
that he introduced into Congress Sc
rles of resolutions OF inquiry concern
ing the origin Of the war and the part
the administration had in bringing II
on. When Senator Pettigrow insisted
on some similar resolutions concerning
the operations Of the war department,
IL raised the howl from all the repub-
lican press that he was a coppelhead
of the vilest order, and even yet they
have their Walls Of vltuperation well
filled and in waiting constantly for an
opportunity to empty them on him.
But here are some quotations from a
speech made In Congress by Mr., Lin
coin in which he attacked the presi'
dent while the war was going on
This speech is quoted in Vol. l. page
1O6 Of Nicolay and Hays Complete
Works, Of Abraham Lincoln" Among
other things it contains these observa-
tiODs: II more than suspect that al
ready he is deeply conscious of being
in the wrong; that he feels the blood
of Abel is crying to Heaven against
him; that originally, having some
strong motive what will not now
stop to give my opinion concerniDg) to
involve the two countries in war,
and trusting to escape scrutiny by fix
ing the public goze upon the exceeding
brightness Of military glory, that at
tractive rainbow that rises in showers
Of blood, he plunged into it, and has
swept on and on, till disappointed in
calculation Of the ease with which
Mexico might be subdued, he now
finds himself he knows not where"

There are a very few men upon the
lecture platform who have made as
great a success as Thomas McClary.
He has the humor Of an Artemus Ward
combined with the rare oratory and
learning Of a Wendell Phillips. He
has done as much to make the lecture
popular and at the same time instruc-
tive, as any man in the lyceum field.
Nature has endowed Mr. McClary with
a face and figure like that of SOL
Smith Russell, and the same power
with which to make an audience laugh
or cry. His ideas are fresh, his Illus
trations apt and his wit keen.
