Meat Market Change.

James Butcher, the purchaser of the
Roemer meat market, is on hand and
will take charge of the business next
Monday.
1t is with regret that the business
men OF Chanute will see Mr.. Roemer
retire from the business he has con-
Quoted so successfully almost from the
start Of the town. Mr.. Roemer has
always been an honest, reliable, con-
servative business man, greatly ad-
mired by his personal friends, and
trusted and respected by all. His
property interests will demand his at
tention from now on.
Mr.. Butcher will be welcomed to
Chanute business circles.

ERIoR HOWEVER COMPARED WITH CORN THAT IS CORN

We noticed in the Mail and
Breeze, last week one of Tom Nc
Meals famous jokes, that is really a
good one. Tom thought it would
be good joke to fatter up some
Jewell county granger by Dragging
on his corn and stated that stalks
had been found fourteen feet high.
Now that may sound big to Jewell
county corn raiser but down IN
south eastern Kansas, in the corn
belt, that is only pop corn height.
We have in our office now corn
stalks that are sixteen feet long by

There is no doubt of the desira-

cut three weeks ago for display at
our county fair. This corn was
planted June 24th, and was only
growing nicely when cut. The ears
were only forming. We presume it
would have been some twenty feet
high had it been left in the field till
now. Mr.. ]. Z. Rush, prominent
farmer of this county, brought it in
and informed us that he had to
select the shortest stalks he could
find in the field in order to handle
them.

fully matured by his years of exper-

An Editor Assaulted.

w. P. Hazen, former resident
of this city, and now editor of the
Chetopa Advance, was brutally as
saulted on the streets of Chetopa
last Saturday by a negro, and
pounded into insensibility. The
negro took offense at something
that appeared in Mr.. Hazen's paper.
Mr.. Hazen was seriously injured,
and at one time it was feared fa-
tally.
We hope some means may be
found to adequately punish the
black brute.

OUR CANDIDATES

as deputy in that Office. He is
popular and we'll liked at home as
was abundantly shown by the 10y
atty with which the delegates from
the southern part of the county
stood by him In the convention. A
vote for w. L. Baldwin is a vote
for a good, true and tried man.
FRED CARTER,
Candidate for reelection to the
office of District Clerk, which pos.
ition he has so ably and satisfac-
torily filled for the last two years,
is resident of Thayer. A car
penter by trade, he knows what it
is to earn his money by the sweat
of his brow. Mr.. Carter is a very
obliging, pleasant man of middle
life, always ready to greet you with
smile and extend a helping hand
in times of need.
BY his faithful discharge of duties
during his present term he has
earned reelection at the hands of
the people. He was born in Hi
nois and came to Kansas with his
parents in 1872. If all men elect
ed to public trust were as faithful
and sincere in the discharge of duty
as is Fred Carter there would be no
neglect of public duties.
R. STEVENSON.
Honest Dick, our present County
Treasurer is candidate for re-
election. No one ever heard a
whisper that there was anything
wrong in the treasurer's office since
Dick Stevenson has had charge of
it. No one ever even dreamed that
there could be anything wrong with
it with him in charge. Mr.. Steven
son is one of the old settlers of
Neosho county. He located on a
farm in Ladore township in 1860,
where he has lived ever since, till
he took the office of treasurer and
moved to Erie.
He was born in Vermilllon
county, Illinois, in IS47. Mr..
Stevenson is one of your every day
sort of men. The kind of a man
you like to meet and in whom you
have confidence at all times. He
has served the county faithfully and
honestly for one term and every
body thinks he is entitled to a sec
ond, and no one doubts his ability
or integrity.
MARK C. GIBSON,
Our candidate for sheriff, is a
product of Neosho county of whom
we are justly proud. Born on a
farm in Big Creek township, twenty
eight years ago, his whole life has
been spent in the country in the
farming and stock business, except
the years he spent in school. Mark
is an exemplary young man in every
way. Without vice of any kind,
he is bright, active and industrious,
a worthy son of his worthy parents,
Capt. and Mrs. A. P. Gibson.
The nomination for sheriff came
to Mark unasked and unexpected.
Busted with his farm and stock
interests he thought not of political
honors. He was asked to accept
the place because of his worthiness
and we'll known qualifications. He
is very popular young man and a
hustler among the hustlers. To
know Mark is to like him and trus,

ublic n of the working kind, and il

The Republicans of Neosho
county at their convention In Erie
nominated a ticket for which no
man need apologize. The nomi-
nees are men of standing in the
county and reputation outside. They
are good representative citizens and
each thoroughly qualified for the
place to which he was nominated.
1t will be the pleasure of the TIMES
to give a short sketch of each of
these men.
L. R. STANLEY,
The nominee for register of deeds
is young man of this city who
lost his foot while in the employ of
the Santa Fe railroad. He is par.
ticularly well qualified for the pos
ition, being an extra fine penman
and a professional book-keeper.
Mr.. Stanley is farm boy, hav-
ing been born on a farm in Iowa in
1872. He is the son of a veteran.
His parents moved to Kansas In
1887. In early life Mr.. Stanley
had to take up fe's burdens 20
himself. He was educated by his
own exertions and is to-day good
example of the self made man. He
is pleasant and social in his habits
and will make an ideal officer.
W. o. JEFFREY.
Never has this county nominated
better qualified man for the office
of Probate Judge than W.O. Jeffrey.
He is an educated man and has
had years of experience in public
life and active business. He was
born in Dewitt County, Ohio, in
1874. AT the outbreak of the re-
bellion, though only a boy, he en-
listed under his country's banner
and served faithfully to the end of
the war.
At the close of the war he enter
ed college and after completing his
collegiate training took up teach
ing as a profession which he fol-
lowed for many years. EARLY in
the eighties he came to Bourbon
county, Kans. In 1888 he was
elected County Superintendent of
Bourbon county and was renom-
inted in 90 but went down under
the wave of Populism that devastat-
ed Kansas that year. He came to
Neosho county in 1891 and located
at Erie, where he has been engaged
in the insurance business ever since.
He is earnest, hard working,
persevering and methodical in his
work. He is an unhinching Rep
ublican and is found at his post
battling for the right during every
campaign. In fact he is cam
paigner the year around. He is a
man of rare good judgment and
is strictly honest. The estate OF
the minor and widow is safe IN his
hands.
w. L. BALDWIN.
The Republican party made Nc
mistake when it nominated Will
Baldwin for County Clerk. He is q
farmer boy, living on a farm in
Centerville township. His parent:
moved from Indiana when Will wa:
a mere child and settled on The
farm in Centerville township where
Will has spent most of his life. HI
was away two years attending schoo
and served tive years as deputy
County Clerk.
Mr.. Baldwin is an honest mar
and especially well fitted for th'
clerkship by his previous services
