The Republican Ticket.


There has never been ticket
placed before the voters of Prowers
county where each member was so
thoroughly familiar and we'll equip
ped for the duties he will have to per.
form as is the republican ticket this
year. Beginning at the head of the
ticket and going straight down there
is not a candidate, who is not equal
to filling the office he seeks with both
credit and satisfaction to his constit
uents.
w. W. eynolds, candidate for
county treasurer, has been tried for
two years and made model officer,
having saved the county hundreds
of dollars during his administration,
and performing twice the work OF
any former treasurer without any adj
ditional deputy hire.
j. F. Curry, for county clerk, has
also held the office for one term and
kept the county records up to date
in an efficient and painstaking man
ner; while at the same time being SO
obliging and accommodating as to
make all enjoy doing business in his
office.
Geo. H. Thomas, candidate for
sheriff, while only residing few
years in this county at the new set
tlement of Amity, comes to us with
a reputation of having served faith
fully and efficiently both on the
police force and in the sheriff's Office
in the east. He will make splen.
did officer if elected.
Frank H. Rosacrans is the candi-
date for assessor, and has served in
the office as deputy for the past two
years and is thoroughly familiar with
all the details of this very important
office. His work speaks for itself
and should insure his election.
Prof. J. A. Rosebrough, who is
candidate on our ticket for superin-
tendent, has been principal of tho
Granada school ever since he came
to the county. He has held the same
principalship longer than any other
teacher the county has ever had, and
this is certainly the most positive
evidence that can be given OF his fit
ness for the position for which he
has been nominated
For county Judge the republican
nominee is Judge l.. F. Blodgett, an
able lawyer, who has served two
terms as probate judge in Kansas,
and has lived in this county since
1886. His standing both in his pro
fession and in various official capac
tiles is the best and his election will
ensure the county three years OF an
able and honest administration.
For that most important Office of
all, county commissioner, the repub
lican candidate is w. F. Mcpherson,
an enterprising and successful bust
ness man of Holly. His capabilities
as business man and his honesty
and integrity are of such high char
acter that the only fault the opposi-
ton have been able to find with him
ia that he is business man. He
certainly il and successful one

Town lots are being sold every day
by the A. V. S b. & 1. l.. Co, and
MS every purchaser agrees to erect

The DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

The platform adopted contains the
following declarations:
We again declare our belief in mu.
niclpal ownership of all public utilities,
and we demand that no grant of fran
chise shall be made which fails to rec
ognize this sound principle of municipal
government.
In the interest of the general public
we demand an early settlement of the
street railway franchise question, which
practically must be settled within the
next two years. Pending the achieve
ment of municipal ownership we believe
that no franchise for street railways
shall be granted or extended for a
longer period than twenty years; and
then, only, with provisions for fair
compensation, based upon n percent
age of gross receipts, for reduction of
fare during crowded hours of the day,
for betterment of conditions In the
accommodation Of the public, for the
acquisition of the lines by the mu-
nlcipallty at the end of the grant, and
for an express waiver by the traction
companies of all supposed rights under
the so-called nlnety-nine-year act.
We declare our belief in the efficacy

public against unwlse legislation and
the corrupt influence of vicious cor
porations
We affirm the business of supplying
light for commercial purposes 10 be a
legitimate function Of municipal gov
eminent; and we demand such an
amendment Of our city charter as will
enable Chicago 10 supply its citizens
with gas and electric current
We protest against any grant Of the
water power to be developed along the
drainage canal 10 capitalists for long
periods and n triAlng consideration
We demand Its preservation for the
general purposes Of the municipality

Wishes
The pitiful inadequacy of the pre-.
vailing system is shown 10y the fact
that in Il city which has more than lOo.-
900 registered voters the entire Repub.
lican primary vote east last Friday was
only about 1900. In wards where there
were contests the size and character of
the vote for all places was determined
largely by the consideration of some of
the diverse and minor interests to be
cared for in the exchange of political
deals. In wards where the question of
candidates for Aldermen involved little
or no controversy voters very largely
stayed away. leaving the ward man
ayers to send their own followers to the
polls and frame up Il delegation wholly
In accordance with their own wishes.
But this is by no means the worst of the
matter.
In spite of the influence brought to
bear, one candidate In Fridays election
secured enough substantial support to
insure him considerable lead In plcdg-
cd votes I'm the convention. If there Is
any virtue In primary election as an
indication of party feeling. Mr.. Harlan

strong in popular backing to entitle him
to first consideration as a candidate.

The convention Of Saturday was n
farce. so far ns 1t purpOrted to bc con-

man to meet one mans own personal
and political interests. There could

Probably no other article of daily
food has been so frequent n disturber Of
the household peace as pie. So admir-
able are the qualities of good pie and so
dangerous are those of bad pie that 1t
behooves housewives to study and mas
ter the art of piemaking. An unfortu-
nate couple were before Judge Crane in
New York the other day. The husband
was charged with ili-treatment of his
wife, and the wife was there as a prose-
cutting witness, though they had been
married only year The wife's COM
plant was, in brief, that her husband
not only called her names because Of
her alleged poor cookery, but on one &C.
caslOn when she served him with mince
threw 1t ont into the street but pulled
her hair and Informed her that she was
a failure as ple'maker. He did not
taunt her for not making pie as mother
made IL, but for utter, abject ignorance
of the whole subject, and he pathetical-
ly informed the court that his conduct
was justifiable because the pie tasted
as If it were made OF sawdust. Judge
Crane, In the opinion of the Chicago
Tribune, took wise view Of the SUBJ
ject. He did not lecture the wife for
her ignorance nor punish the husband
for the assault. He is from Massachu-
sets, where the pie was first known, II
not invented, in this country. He told
the youthful pair Of the excellent mince

We believe in an early consolidation
of all taxing bodies within the present
limits of the municipality.
The platform concludes with u de-
mand for the lowering of the tunnels
and removal of other distractions to
the river. and Il general dcuunciation
of "so-callcd reformers who seek to
advance their ideas by blackening the

A "New-Lald-Egg Society" has been

Couldn't Wear shoes

Sumter, ILL.,. June 15-NIrs. j. b.
Flanagan, of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three years
che has not been able to wear her shoes.
She doctored all the time, but was grad
ually getting worse.
Last winter Mr.. Flanagan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr.. j. j. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr.. Dale persuaded him TO
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six before she was entire
ly cured. She is now as sound as ever
she was, completely restored to health,
and free from any symptom whatever of
Gropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanagan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings. and she and
Ter husband are loud in their praises OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills. and of MIR Dale
for recommending this wonderful rem
edy to them.
The fact that Doddss Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanagan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors ha,.
given her UP. has made them the most
talked-of remedy ever known in White
county.

WHAT COLOR TELLS IN HORSES.
Arabs believe the Chestnut Is the
Strongest and swiftcst.

Whether or not horses color is an
! Indication of his breeding and powers of
endurance is much disputed question.
The color theory doubtless originated
among the Arabs. for centuries famous
as horsemei. Its opponents say that ii is
the result Of constant observation and
long study, Int many competent horse
men deride ii Us u superstition.
BE this as i, may. the chestnut is the
Arab idea of perfection. In this conncc
ton 1t is significant that the majority Of
successful race horses have been chestnut
in color Chcstnuts also seem to have
carried off III. greatest number of honors
in the show ring. The Arabs, like the
dictionary. make but little distinction be-
tween the chestnut aud the bay aud cone
siders the latter color about as desirable
as the former. The dictionary defines
bay as shade of chestnut.
Horses of n rich seal brown are good
to look npoa, but among the Arabs rarely
| fetch q large price. as they are considered
lncking in Ear,!.hooa. prone to sickness,
/ with little or no endurance. Roam horses
are by many regarded as very hardy, but
all horsemen do not concur i'll this opin-
Ion. and, as the race horse trainers ex-
press it. the roam color indicates n cold
cross some where in the breeding.
The black horse is. il, the American
| mind. suggestive of the funeral. which
\ possibly accounts for some of the pref
u,lice against it. !, Hack horse is a
/ nightmare to his groom. for his coat
/ shows the slightest speck OF dust or dirt,
and little gust of wind often spoils
4 hours of hard grooming When blnck
horse has been exposed 10 the sun and

\ a rusty. washed ont color.
! White horses always suggest the circus.
4 Their coats are even more difficult to
4 Keep clean than black horses and are
] seldom in presen,nble condition. 1t is
most disagreeable to drive behind grny
or white horse during shedding time.
Then ones clothing is sure to be covered
with clinging hairs that are very notice

4 Piebnld and skewbuld horses attract
\ too much attention to the rider or driver
4 to be considered quite the thing and. like
the white horse, remind one OF the saw

strong indication of low breeding.
There is an ancient tale of a band of
Arabs being pursued by their enemies
which sums up their theory about q
4 horses color. Among the fleeing band
was man with unusually keen eyesight
! and from time to time he would describe
to his leader the horses ridden by the
enemy.
4 What manner of horses do they rider
"Black horses
'.Then there is no need Of haste"
At the noon halt the leader again ask
ed, What manner Of horse do they rid
now?"

A few hours later the leader asked

They ride chestnnts.'
