Mr.. Meredith Has a Job.

Fletcher Meredith has landed a po-
sition In Washington in the employ Of
Uncle Sam. Some thirty years ago Mr..
Meredith was employed in the railway
mail service, but left it nearly that long
ago. He had a notion to look the mat
ter up short time ago and see II he
could not secure reinstatement and be
transferred to some other department.
Last week word arrived that he had sue
ceeded and is now employed in the in
terror department as law clerk in the
general land office. The Interior Her
aid will however continue to be pub
lished as heretofore except that Bert
will conduct the business instead Of his
father. Mr.. Meredith is one OF the old
original newspaper men Of the Seventh
district, Twenty-Five years ago he was
the silk stocking quill pusher of the Ar
kansas Valley. He has been consider
able Of power in politics also in his
time, Moreover he was one OF the pio-
neers OF this county and can relate many
interesting bits of Reno county history.
There are great many people in the
county especially among the old timers
who will rejoice at his success.

Kansas, August 9th 1885, and the inter
ment was at York, Ill. the former home
of her parents. Her rare sweet and
gentle character made her favorite
with all who knew her. 1t was not nee
cessary for the reaper to take her that
we might appreciate her beautiful spirit,

with us.
Fifteen bright years of happy girl
hood here, and then the wondrous
beauty of the city Of gold with its river
clear as crystsl and its many mansions

The New Court House.

The county commissioners Of Andcr-
son county were in the city last Friday
inspecting our new court house, They
are about TO construct one for their
county and are here looking over our
plans with view to adopting such as
they might consider profitable. They
we're very favorably impressed with our
building and invited Architect d. T.
DePry down to their county seat to
figure with them on a building about
like this. They liked the plan and ar
rangement Of ours much better than
any they had visited and were most sur =
prised at finding so large and fine a
building for so little money. The build
is now nearly completed, The plaster
ers have finished and most Of their stag
ing, hoists ETC., was loaded on the cars
for shipment last Saturday. The finish
ing Of the wood work, putting on castings
ETC., with the putting in of the heating
apparatus and office furniture is about
all that remains to be done,
Some comment has been made that
the court house is not large enough for
county Of this size, but it seems as if
anyone who would take the pains to go
through the building would have such
notions quickly dspclled. The thing
that has been most complained Of is the
room for the records There will surely
be no trouble about any, unless It should
be the register Of deeds, The commis-
soners figured on this and made the
vault large enough to hold the present
records and what will be likely to accu-
mulate in twenty years, Then they con-
structed the vault so that trap door
and stairway can be cut in and a room
large enough to hold all the records fer
hundred years can be fitted up, : The
court house will be a fine building and
one that will be credit to the county
for as long time as many of us now
living will be here.

tainted, that he was kept In the crib
without anything to eat till he was so
weak he could scarcely walk, that he
was cruelty beaten and in fact alleges
almost everything that could be inflicted
in the way Of cruel punishments. He
had one friend It seems whom he was
anxious TO protect, n Mr., Price, who
was In charge Of the schools at that
time. Price, he alleges, tried to have
his punishment lessened and did what
he could to befriend him, But there
was a rupture between Price and the
other officials which finally ended in his
resignation. The proposition OF using
this letter for campaign purposes was
considered last fall, but it was hardly
we'll enough substantlated to be given
out as the unqualified truth, Whatever
the facts may be one thing is disclosed
however That Is that the way OF the
present administration has at the very
best been no smoother than that Of the
old one under Leedy. The officials
have quareled and fought and told
stories on one another which il true
should call for the discharge Of whole
l3t, II Is dihicnlt to sift such matters
and tell just what is justihable OF what
has been done, But it may be safely
said that there was at least as good
ground for the charges of cruelty on the

publication OF that story about the burn
ing OF the nigger when Mr., Case and
Mr. Hopkins were in charge.

We are going to crow. In fact we are
growing. 1t has been so long since the
GAZETTE roosters have had an oppor-
tunity TO crow that they are wheezy and
out Of practice, somewhat clogged up in
the gullet and hoarse, but they are max
ing the best out Of the results OF this
election. And truly the results are good
to Justify almost any amount Of growing.
Martins majority for mayor is some
where in the close proximity Of 200, Had
sells majority for police judge is nearly
400. Mrs. Richardson for treasurer Of
the school board is about 2Sl. On Sam
Morris for justice Of the peace there was
no contest and Knauss, republican Tor
the other justice was elected by 1873.
This with the constables and one men,
ber of schoolboard is all the republicans
have to crow over, They lost every
member of the city council. Onlyi one
ward was the result on councilman close
That was in the fourth ward where A. Z.

ing are the unofficial majorities by wards

OF course it is natural when anyone is
defeated and feels badly to look around
and seek some bright spot where con-
ISOLATION may be found. The only con-
ISOLATION the republicans are able to dis
cover as result of this election is that
the city ticket was elected by the wo'
mems vote. AS the male and female
vote is kept seperate, the women not be-
ing allowed by law to vote for justices
of the peace and constables which are
township officers, it is an easy matter to
figure out these results, They are claim
ing that the republican ticket carried
every ward on the male vote, and il
seems to be true that the most Of the
city ticket would have been defeated il
the women had not voted. This seems
to be striking example which goes to
prove the claims Of the suffragists that
woman's franchise would not merely re-
suit in doubling Of the vote without
changing results.

GREAT STRIKE ENDED.
And National Guard and Non-Union
Men Leave Albany.

Albany, May 19.-The great street
railway strike lasting twelve days and
requiring the presence of 5000 of the
national guard in the city, costing the
lives of two prominent merchants,
and entailing an expense to the county
of over $4,000, was amicably settled
yesterday Last night several lines
were running and by noon today all
will be in operation with non-union
men. Early yesterday morning the
Troy division men signed an agree
ment presented at conference, and
other divisions soon followed suit.
This action was reported to the trac-
ton company and their signatures
quickly followed, the agreement be-
coming operative at II o'clock.
By it's terms the mems wages are in
creased to 20 cents an hour,
no discrimination to be made against
the strikers who have not committed
violence. The company will continue
to employ men regardless of affiliation
with the union. The withdrawal Of
the guards was as expeditions as was
their coming. By o'clock last night
all had left the city except the 23d
regiment Of Brooklyn, which leaves
this morning. Non-union men will be
sent back to the cities whence they
came.

MRS. LYMAN J. GAGE DEAD,
Wife of Secrtary of Treasury Called
After Long Illness.

Washington May 1S.-Mrs. Lyman
j. Gage, wife of the secretary of the
treasury, died at her residence, 1715
Massachusetts avenue, northwest, at
$3.50 last night, after an illness of nine
weeks duration. With her when the
end came were her husband, mar
ried daughter, Mrs. E. F. Pierce of
Evanston and DR.. Johnston, the at
tending physician. For time before
her death Mrs. Gage suffered consid.
cradle pain but maintained a bright
cheerful demeanor and was conscious
to the last. Heart trouble, the result
of grip complications, was the imme-
dlate cause of death. Mrs. Gage was
exposed to inclement weather about
an hour on inauguration day but at
the time her health did not seem to
have been affected. During March
she visited her daughter at Evanston
and while there was taken sick but
soon recovered sufficiently to return to
Washington where she has been con
fined to her room ever since. Mrs.
Gage was native of Albany and SO
years of age. She married Secretary
Gage in Denver in 1887. There were no
children from their union, Mrs. Pierce
being child by a former husband.
The remains will be removed to Chi
cago for interment. During their
residence in Washington Secretary
and Mrs. Gage have taken an active
part in the social life at the capital.
Mrs. Gage was probably closer to Mrs.
Mckinley than any other lady of tn.
cabinet.

Milwaukee, May 19-Capt. Fred
erick Pabst is back in the harness
again. In speaking of his trip he
said:
Il went to Europe for my wifes
health, not for own. Mine is as fine
as I wish to have it. l stayed at Wies-
baden the entire time, making short
trips to Munich and other towns in the
immediate neighborhood. The bus
mess outlook in Europe is not so good
as it has been. Owing to bad manage
ment, there seems to be an oversupply
in the market.
"Our breweries here are better han
any in Germany. AS far as mechanic
al contrivances are concerned, of
course, We have outstripped all Europe
and they will never be able to gain
the prestige which is ours. Our beers,
as general rule, are better than
theirs. My wife will remain in
Europe several months more and of
course I shall stay here for a long
time"
