Republican Roundup at Arlington,
The republicans had a very success
full meeting at Arlington last Thurs
day so far as numbers was concerned
j. II. Burton, perennial candidate
for United States senator, was the
orator. We are told he made q very
fair speech and to those who have not
read his pedigree according to Cy Lee
land, It might have had some effect
However it seems that a large part OF
the crowd was taken from this city on
q special train. OF course the repub-
lIcans have the advantage in making
appearances, by having the money to
equip rough rider clubs and charter
special trains. They are spending a
large amount of money in this county
for the purpose Of making an appear
ance by which they hope to catch the
floating vote that wants to be on the
winning side, Probably II the fusion
forces wished to draw on the corpora
tons they might have more money
and make a greater display. However
that may not bring votes, and the APP
pearances may be misleading, being
created in such way. The repnbi'
can idea seems to be that providence
is with the fellows that have the most
money, not those that are in the right.

For Grand Larceny.

Sheriff Long returned from Wichita
Friday evening with young man by
the name of AL Mercer who is charged
with grand larceny. Mercer was wash
ing buggies at the Mckee livery barn
and had been at work only about u
week when another of the employees
missed forty dollas from the pocket Of
his coat which he kept hanging in a
closet upstairs in the barn. Mercer
had access to the room. The next day
after the money was missed he left
town going to Wichita where his par
ents lived. Tom Carol, the man who
had lost the money, suspected Mercer
and had a warrant sworn out with the
result above given. 1t is known that
Mercer had no money the day befosr
he left and while he had little when be
was arrested it was found that he had
spent considerable before being ar
rested, 1t is said that the supposed
thief is Of good family and has a
good education, having prepared him
self for the ministry and preached
some, But he turned out reckless and
has shifted and wandered about and
become reduced to any kind Of work.
