Initiating = Tenderrnot.

Lew Headley, OF the Gaylord Herald,
who was "one of the boys" in Kansas in
the days when it was considered proper
to lead tenderfeet a dogs existence,
tells the following little incident Of
early times in the northwest: "AIong
in the early seventies a man by the
name Of Browne came out from York
state to take look at the new coun-
try with the idea of taking a claim if
be found anything to suit him. He
ran across Perry Newell who took him
down to his place for the night. The
next morning they went out onto the
plains in search of a claim and ran
into big herd of buffalo, the first the
new conner had ever seen. Hello said
Perry, here are my cattle, clear off my
range. I'll have to get 'em back or the
cussed redskins will run 'em off, The
York state man, thinking to return the
kindness shown him, volunteered to
help Perry drive them in. He made a
big circle around them one way and
Perry pretended to go the other. When
the stranger had got fairly around
Perry gave a fair example OF q war
hoop, threw up bis hat in the air,
watched the buffalo run and then re-
turned home to await developments.
Ii was three days before Browne rode
up to Perry's dugout, hatless and de-
jected, his pony ready to drop from
fatigue. with the information that the
cattle had gone of hundred miles
southwest, and he couldn't do thing
with them The fellow took the laugh
on him good naturally. settled on a
claim out on the edge Of Notion coun-
~, and lived there for many years,
and prosDerous."

A VIEW OF KANsANs.
Literary Instinct Is Prevalent in Kansas
and the Love OF Art and Music
Is Active.
kansas City Star.J

It is claimed that one-half the stud
ents who attend the Kansas State uni
versity are seIf-supporting. There are
probably less eads to the square mile
in Kansas than in any state in the
union. The Kansans have their faults
who of Us have not?-but these do
not lie IN the direction Of putting on
airs and affecting a contempt for work.
When a young man graduates from a
college in Kansas he is certain to have
q useful knowledge Of the practical
things Of life. This is also true Of the
young women who attend the univer-
sity, the agricultural college at Man
haitian and the normal school at En-
poria. At none of these institutions
are the students taught anything which
gives them fictitious ideas of life. They
are fitted for the strenuous existence
which has made Kansas the theater of
such an admirable civilization.
This does not mean that the finer &C
complishments are neglected. The lit
erary instinct is prevalent in Kansas
to a remarkable degree, and the love of
art and music is active, as Kansas City
has reason to know whenever enter
tainments of a rare order are given in
this city. Nowhere in the union is
there a finer equilibrium between the
substantial qualities and what may be
defined by the broad term of ideality,
than in Kansas. This causes a high
standard Of achievement along all of
the lines that contribute to the great
ness of a community. While there is
nothing dimlyresembling diIettanteism
in Kansas, neither is there anything
approaching Indifference to or ignor-
ance of the reflnements OF life or the
more elevated spheres Of thought.
The self reliance and sturdy man
hood which were developed by the
stress and struggle incident to the
early settlement of Kansas still sur
viEe. The sharp aDgularity of the
pioneers has been modified to degree
in their descendants, but the great
prosperity. which the state has enjoyed
within recent years and the wide diffu-
sion Of comforts in the home have not,
in the slightest degree, weakened the
character Of the people. 1t has made
them more agreeable without making
them less interesting. The impulse
for achievement and advancement is
so thoroughly inherent in the Kansas /
people that it is doubtful whether it !
viii ever disappear. It certainly viii |
not fade ont for many years to come. !
A large number Of the active men
and women in Kansas at the present /
time are natives of the state. A host
Of young men in various responsible (
positions are graduates Of the univer-
sity at Lawrence and other state |
They are admirable speci-
mems Of a hearty, earnest, intelligent
They are, in themselves,
the best examples Of the true dignity I
Of labor, and they feel all the greater
in their success, because
it has been attained through their own
efforts.

Hoyt Andrews entering on his second
term. Fred Dawson also commenced
his second term as county commits
sioner.
The commissioners appointed John
R. Reed county superintendent Of pEb-
lie instruction. Mr.. Reed was eleoted
to that Office at the late election. BE
succeeds Frank L. jones.
This unusual proceeding is due to
the fact that the county superintend-
ents recently elected are not entitled
to take their official seats until May.
This condition was brought about BY 3
change made in the old law by the last
legislature. Prior to this time the
county superintendsnts elected in
November and inaugursted in Jan
uary have taken charge Of their official
duties in the midst Of the school terms
and more or less unfamiliarity with
the work made the changes undesiF-
able, in many instances. Mr.. Reeds
term in reality will not commence m
til May. It was in the power Of the
commissioners TO appoint a successor
to Mr.. Jones from January to Nay
when Mr.. Reeds term would begin, so
the vacancy was filed by naming Mr..
Reed for the place.

had a bloody fight at a country dance.
They were both sentenced to 80 days
in jail and to pay the costs Of the trial.
As there is no possibility Of the county
being reimbursed for the costs, it was
best to release them when
their sentence is completed, as the
county would be relieved from board

The average small town merchant

that advertising is INDUCED in simply

And they are seldom the sort OF men
Who give ont money without securing

No man ever has aeinch on trade that

TALK AMONG REPUBLICANS
ON THE NEXT PRESIDENCY
Reasons to Believe the Nomination Will Go
TO the East Next Time.
THIRD TERM RIDICULOUS
By FRANK, TILFoRD.
Copyright; all rights reserved.

NEW YORK, March 23.-Since the ac-
cession of the Republican party to power,
forty years ago, only one Eastern man,
James G. Blaine, has received its noml-
nation for the Presidency. Beginning
with the organizat ton of the government,
the Eastern Presidents have been the
eloer, and younger Adams, Van Buren,,
Pierce, Buchanan, and Cleveland. In ad-
dition, two Eastern Vice-Presidents sue
ceeded to the first office, namely, Fill
moro and Arthur. These figures go to
show that in proportion to population
the East has Jared rather badly SO tar as
the. chief magistracy is concerned. This
meagre representation is not due to the
fact that the East did not possess men OF
the Presidential stature. During the last
fifty years it had them in abundance, and
it was mainly because of the intense per-
sonal rivalry between those great leaders
and the fierce personal partisanship
am ng their followers that the highest
office in the peoples gift has gone with
such unfailing regularity to the middle
West.
Shall an effort be made in 1904 to re-
adjust the political sectional balance, so
far at least as the Republican party IS
concerned? An affirmative answer to the
question depends entirely upon the East
ern leaders Of the party. If they unite

Negro Husbands Take Short Wayo Getting
Rid OF Wives.

-
The sheriff and his posse returned
Saturday from near the North Carolina
line. where they had. been for two days
trying to locate Robert Edwards. the
negro fend who brutally murdered his
wife last week.
A coiored man named Smith attempted
to commit murder on Tuesday, in the
vicinity Of the home of Robert Edwards,
the wife murderer. Smith was a par
ticular friend of Robert Edwards, and
evidently tried to initiate his deed. It
is stated that he seized an axe and
struck his wife several blows about the
head and ran off thinking he had killed
her, but the last report is that she is
alive and will probably recover.
One day last week, Mary Britt, wife
of Moses Britt, colored man, who re-
sides in Powellton District. was found
dead In her. yard with the clothing
burned from of her body. An examina-
ton, we hear, disclosed the. fact that
blood was oozjng from her ears and
nose, which created the suspicion that
her death may have been caused by a
blow on the head and that her clothing
was set on fire to create the impression
that her death resulted from the burns.
We understand that an investigation
has been made by the authorities. but
with what result We have not been able
to learn.-Brunsw1ck Gazette.
