cREAPER GAS ron TOPEKA.

AEA946 GAS EQE 40EEA a.
The poor Topeka Gas company which
belongs to the gas trust is in trouble
The city council grappIed with 1t before
it had time to shout hold" The city
council has done q little sparring be
fore but the gas company had not be-
come excited. Anthony n. Brady, the
head of the trust made some promises,
asked to be let alone and the council
like good fellows had faith in the
pledges and desisted.
Then the gas trust became arrogant
The city of Topeka could be easily fool
ed and when the time limit expired,
when the promises were to be made
good. there was a longing but disap-
pointed look for dollar gas or at least
substantial reduction in the rates.
The city council waited for more
than two years after the promise Of
Nh. Brady had gone By default and then
swooped down upon the gas company
una wares and reduced the rates or at
least passed an ordinance which says
that Topeka must have dollar gas.
There is good reason to believe that
this ordinance can be enforced if the
city officers win do their duty There
is no reason on earth why Topeka
should pay $50 to S165 for gas when
cities similarly situated get it for 81
There is no sense in the people of To-
peka contributing more than their
share to the European vacations of the
eastern magnates who own the Topeka
gas supply and who think that they can
charge Topeka what they please.

Politics are growing quite interest

among us with smiling faces and ex-
tended hands. The first to ''show up"
was Andrew Shartzer, OF our own dis
trict, a candidate for sheriff. Next
came that genial postmaster Of Hoyes,
William A. Smith, looking after the
interests of the telephone company
and yet getting in a word for our
present Senator, who has so ably
represented us in the State Senate.
E. E. Friend, capable, honest and a
good citizen, would accept the nomin-
alton for clerk of the Orphans Court.
No better nomination could be made.
Hon. a. F. George has been a caller
in our midst and is working hard
for the nomination. For the legis-
latu-e that "old soldier" not able to
do a Gays work because of disabilities
resulting from his army life; a good

the Senate is one well known over the

record is with US A representative

Communicated.

To the Editor of the Republican.
IL the past several issues of your
paper | have noticed a great many
communications with reference to the
candidacy of number who have
been put forward for State Senator.
In this connection have as yet to
see the name of one who has served
the people faithfully and well for
some years in the State Senate, DR..
R. A. Ravenscroft, of Accident
While the gentleman above alluded
to has not made an announcement of
his candidacy for the denomination it
is generally understood that he is in
the field for the honors and that
should he again be nominated have
no misgivings as to the result OF the
election and his course at Annapolis.
During the past eight years Sena-
tor Ravenscroft has ably repre-
scented the people of Garrett county
at the States capital and has shown
W his dCllOlls tLdt tle COIluueuCe re-
posed in him by his constituents has
not been violated. He has always
stood firmly for the right and has the
respect of not only his Republican
colleagues of the Senate but the Dem
ocratic members also. During the
late extra session he did yeoman SER
vice in an effort to defeat the passage
of the disfranchisement law.
In conjunction with a number of
other Republican members of the
upper body his efforts to at least
change the most vicious sections of
the law awaited.
In matters of legislation touching
the interests of either county or
State Senator Rayenscroft has exhib-
tied a keen desire to serve the major
ity of the people.
From nearly every section of the
county we hear reports of this man or
that mans chances for the nomina-
ton. Almost to man the leading
party workers are averse Just at this
time to take up an untried man for
the responsible position who will be
called upon in case the Republicans
are victorious to select for the people
of Maryland a United States Senator
to succeed Senator Wellington whose
term will soon expire.
In view of this for one think that
the Republicans should give Senator
Ravenscroft their undivided support
at the primaries and work for his
election at the polls

CORKSCREW PHILOSOPHY.

Diversity of opinion helps to devel
op truth.
What is right to-day may be wrong
tomorrow.
He who clings to the past leans Oh
broken reed.
Onward, onward, eyer onward is
the motto of every true man.
He is well on his way who has
awakened to his needs.
1t is useless might if your work is
not right.
Keep pegging along with your heart
full of song,-the heart of the travel
er brightens the weariest road.
An honest opinion marks the sin
cere man, but blind prejudice warps
the judgment-it is stupid fox that
barks in hen roost.
He is an obstinate man who refuses
to believe self-evident truth. He
is a dangerous man who tries to force
his belief on others.
Never grieve about wasted effort;
the world is full of it; it is mans great
est teacher and the foundation of all
true progress.
Judging from the changing of
church creeds, all religion would
seem to be failure; but nothing is
farther from the truth. Mans belief
of a necessity must depend upon
his understanding. Man is constant
" changing but truth never changes
the light of reason leads us to the
lamp of truth; for what is reason but
truth.
The New York Sun is seemingly
anxious to be on the good side of the
gods and goddesses-it is publishing
a weekly series of articles on female
suffrage. The matter is enough to
make an ordinary man take to the
woods.
Henpeck says that every time he
hears of female suffrage convention
in session he imagines he hears hun
dred disconsolate doggies a howlin'

FEARER.

Everything at our town is prosper
ons and politics are warming up as
the time draws near to make up the
Republican ticket. No. 2 could fill
up the entire ticket and yet have as
pirants left. We have all manner of
aspirants. We have the "hang-ons,n
always in it, win or lose; then we have
what l call Republicans that Repub-
licans want and need, men of ability
and stability, such as Taylor Friend
for commissioner and E. J. Frantz for
sheriff. They are men of merit. Now
perhaps had better stop right here.
But have no ak to grind. If l had
would get my own boys to turn the
grindstone. They know who raised
them, so with our party. Let every
true Republican go to the primaries
and elect delegates to go untrammeled
to the convention to make up a
ticket of official capacity and hon
esty that will reflect credit upon our
county and party. Let the Office hunt
the man, not the man the office. But
then we are as much inclined to do
evil as the sparks are to go upward.

Obituary.
JACKSON.

Mrs. Catharine Bancord, wife of
John Bancord, nee Koontz, was born
September 9Th, 1884, in Allegany coun-
ty, Nd, and died June 10th, 1901.
In Garrett county, Maryland, one
mile south of New Germany, at the
ripe old age of Sc years, nine months,
and 25 days, another bulwark of
Methodism has fallen. A sainted
mother and beloved wife has out
striped her husband and children to
the glory world home. The aged will
miss her in their circle and the young
will miss her counsels. She was be-
loved by all who knew her. She was
sorely afflicted for four years with
Bright's disease associated with drop
sy. She was a great sufferer yet pa
tient through it all. Her home was
the temporary home of all the pastors
on the Grantsville charge during the
past 30 years. When they were weary
they were often refreshed in her
home, when discouraged they often
took sweet counsel with brother and
sister Bancord. The home is now
broken, the husband for the present
still remains at the old mansion with
Mrs. Lewis Warwick, one of his chill
dren. There are five of the children
living, Mrs. Lewis Warwick, Mrs. G.
G. burst, Mrs. Francis burst and
Mrs. Frank Brook, of Clarksburg, w.
Va. Also one son in Michigan.
The funeral was very well attended.
The subject of the discourse was taken
from Job IA: 20. The sister was
member of the NJ. E. church for So
years and was faithful until death.
Her remains were laid away to rest in
the cemetery of the Mt. Buelah Meth
odist Episcopal church, near her
former residence, to await the glor-
ious surrection. She leaves two
brothers and one sister to mourn her
departure.
Mother, we will wait the summons
From the Angel of the Lord;
Watch for us, We'll soon be coming
With his will we would accord.
Wife, now | am sad and lonely
Since your form no more see:
I've been waiting thy returning.
But thou cans't not come to me.
Now | will not mourn in sorrow.
Since from earth thou hast been borne.
For my fight may be tomorrow.
Fer the setting of the sun.
Now. farewell, Wen meet in glory,
Round our Savior's great white throne;
You have helped to write life's story
And in heaven We'll soon be one.
