ENGLISH DEVELOPS STRENGTH.

The candidacy of Emary English
of Valley Junction for representative,
has rapidly assumed formidable pro-
portions, and many are predicting his
nomination on the first ballot in the
republican convention. The Bystand-
er has regarded Mr.. English as one
of the strongest candidates and the
success he is meeting with is crafty
ing. He possesses qualifications for
service in that capacity more accepta-
BILE to all of Polk county's interests
that make him most available for
the nomination. He is conversant
with all the public matters in Polk

Junction as an editor of country
newspaper, has brought him in close
touch and relationship with country
people, including the farmers, many
of whom are according him cordial
support.

WHICH WAY ARE WE
DRIFTING.

Are we becoming race OF
gamblers and are our society
women setting the proper ex-
ample when they introduce cards
and other games of chance into
their social gatherings. The
Rev. Huntington of Grace church
New York City, uttered some very
pointed remarks on this subject
before the New England society
a few days ago, in contrasting
the Puritans and their defendants
Of course the women do not call
it gambling, because that name
associate their amusement with
the most disreputable people that
can be found, but it is fact that
card playing for prizes is as much
gambling as playing for money
Those same women admits that
if the prizes are not valuable
there is but little, if any interest
taken in the game. We would
like to think that we are becom'
ing more moral and more refined
than our ancestors, but IT ou1
leading women will play cards If
their homes and spend their leis'
ure time in the club over the care
table, we need not wonder why
we are not progressing as we
should. Nothing is more allur'
ing or destructive the morals thar
gambling, nothing corrupts so
ciety more than does the care
table. There is nothing in the
gamut of passion which ha:
brought more misery to the race
than the love for the piece Of
painted cardboard which was
first used to amuse a mad King
Will our noble women of the
twentieth century drive this evi
from their homes, clubs and So
cities.

however, and delivered speech that

MCKAY FOB COUNTY
TREASURER.

Mr.. John Mckay, ST., of this
city, the present incumbent, is a
candidate for denomination for
County Treasurer for his second
term. But few men have arisen
so rapidly in the public estimation
and maintained the highest es-
TEEN as has Mr.. John Mckay, ST.,
who only 4 years ago was pract-
ically lyunknown but on being elect
ed to the City Council during the
stormy period of the MacVicar
reign, he took such an honest
fair stand for the people and
what he thought to be right,
rather than to be dictated by any
person or corporation, that the
people cal1ed'him higher to safely
hold and guard the county money.
He has made an excellent Treas
urer, and one thing above all
which should appeal to all colored
voters is that he had the courage
and honest manhood to appoint a
co1ored man as one of his deputy
treasurers, the first and only
co1ored man to be thus appointed
in Iowa. He has set a precedence
and let us remain loyal to him.

AMONG THE RAILWAYS
Rock Island Will Run Cheap Excur-
SiOns to Colorado.

The Chicago Rock Island and Pacific
railway, which made a phenomenal
success of cheap excursion rates to
Colorado last season, has again asked
its competitors in the Western and
Southwestern Passenger associations
to agree upon series of cheap excur-
sions to and from Denver, Colorado
Springs, and Pueblo for the approach
ing season, on the following basis:
Tickets to be sold from Chicago and
and all Territory up to Missouri river.
June 1s, 25. July 16, %, and 80, Aug.
6, 13, 20 and q, at rate of one fare plus
So, or 81 so for the round trip.
On July 2 and and Sept. and 10
rate of $25 is to be made from Chicago,
and SIS from Missouri river points for
the round trip. Intermediate territory
will have proportionate rates. Tlcke.s
are to be sold from Missouri river
points one day later than the dates
given above in eace case Proportion
ate rates will be made to and from
Glenwood Springs, Salt Lake City,

A series Of East bound excursions a.
also proposed, tickets to be sold from
Colorado common points every Thurs
day, commencing with June 20 up to
and including Sept II, at rate of one
fare plus So for the round trip. All
tickets will be limited for return pas
sage to Oct. 81. These rates will be
rendered connecting lines for basing
purposes, which will probably insure
very low basis of rates throughout the
United States for these excursions.
