The Same rs Here.

From the Kansas Populist.
The following from the Industrial
Advocate of Eldorado indicates that
the sentiment of the members of the
populist and democratic parties is
much the same in Butler county as in
Montgomery:
The sentiment as generally ex-
pressed in this county regarding the
action of both populist and demo-
cratic state central committees is that
of disapproval. A very large pro-
portion of reformers and anti-republi-
cans realize the futility of separate
action and favor fusion. There is no
question but that in view of so much
factiOnal strife in the republican
party, to say nothing whatever about
conditions arising from its admins
tration of public affairs, by united
effort and concerted action. the ad-
vocates of reform could easily win
the most if not all of the Offices of
Importance in both state and county
at the coming election. The majority
of our people feel that, in this in
stance at least, the leaders of both
parties have given away to the spirit
of personal aggrandizement, profit
and greed, rather than to stand to-
gether on and for the great principles
which mean the building up of the
common people and the perpetuity of
= - a. IS 4
for the maintenance of right and JUS
tice, there will be fusion as before,
and the people viii assert their right
and viii in spite of the most strenuous
opposition, confident that right will
in the end prevail.

Fox--hessm

Miss Josephine Hessman, daughter
of Mrs. Mary Hessman, and MIR.
Frederic Fox were married at the
Catholic church at Windhorst We'd
nesday, May 14th, at O'Clock a. N.
The bride wore a grey suit with a
white veil and orange blossoms.
There were two bridesmaids and two
groomsmen. A very elegant dinner
was served to a large number OF
friends, many of whom remained for
supper and for dancing in the even
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Fox received many
handsome presents of linen, rugs,
rocking chairs and other furniture,
ornaments for their home, china and
silverware. They will go to house
keeping on farm as soon as the
house on their place is completed.
The young people. who are well
known, have great many friends
and stand very high in the esteem OF
all who know them because of their
many good traits of character.
The Graphic joins their many friends
in good wishes for long and happy
life

KeteiSon-.NeIsou.

Mr.. Nelson received telegram yes
terday from Topeka announcing the
marriage of Miss Maud Nelson and
Mr.. II. p. Ketelson. Miss Nelson
had been in Creston, Iowa, for some
time, but recently came to Topeka
where she has been visiting the lady
who before her marriage was Miss
Ditus. After the ceremony Mr.. and
Mrs. Ketelson went to Kansas City
for a few days and from there were to
go to Chicago for a week or so.
When they return to this city they
will board until their new home is
ready for them. The many friends oi
the bride and groom will give them a
hearty welcome when they arrive as
they are both very popular in this city

Stanley's thush" machinery is
again out of order and d story has
leaked into the papers. The charge
is now being made that the boys in
the reform school are being subjected
to cruel and inhuman treatment. A
favorite form OF punishment seems to
be to compel the boys to work on one
meal % day and that breakfast. We
have been promised civil service for
the state Institutions, hut it seems
that the republicans are unable to
give it to US even when they have a
''brutal" majority in each house.
Their attitude is like that OF the man
who offered to throw his companion
across a canal. The first effort landed
the fellow in the water. He de.naaded
payment of the wager and was told
that it had not been agreed that he
should he thrown across 1T the first
trial and q second was demanded.
The republicans demand reelection
that they may make another effort.

Another great strike is on in the
anthracite coal regio ons. It is es-
tilnated that 200, 000 men will be idle.
It is one Of the curious phases of this
matter that the operators do not seem
to be worried. They have it in their
power to SO increase the price Of the
coal on hand that they will still con-
ttnue to make money while the miners
will soon exhaust their res sources and
be asking for work at any old price.
The government stands ready to take
the part OF the operators should any
troubles arise, SO. that all they have
to do is to wait for starvation to
bring their employees to time. The
miners should have learned by this
time that the corporations are run
ming the country, especially Penn
Sylyania.

The "hush" machinery of the repub-
lican party of this state seems to have
got out of order recently. We now
learn through the papers that during
TonlinSOn'S administration of affairs
at the penitentiary 1t was discovered
that some one had stolen quite a sum
of money from the funds OF the insti-
tuition The warden now claims that
he made the amount good out of his
own pocket. Nothing is said as to
the guilty party. The "hush" ma
chinery evidently worked on that part
of the story. If such q scandal had oc-
CURED under the popullst administra-
tion what howl would have gone up

A Topeka paper notes that G.. c..

that Copeland county has been aban-

of this county and it is matter of

Senator Burton has allowed the
president of the United States TO

For time it looked as though the

sneezed, but the crisis is fortunately
safely passed.

out of an entire city in the West

calamity has visited tae world since
the destruction of Pompeii. All the

We regret to hear that the Central
Normal College of Great Bend is soon
to be thing of the past. Since its
organization in 1888 it has struggled
bravely to get on n sound financial
basis and to build up reputation for
itself as a thorough, practical school
for the young people of southwestern
Kansas. 1t has cohtended against
every obstacle incident to pioneer
college buitding-crop failures, finan-
cial panics, competition, ridicnle,
poor management-yet for fourteen
years it has stood its ground and
given instruction to hundreds of
young men and women from eur
rounding counties. Many of these
persoas would have been unable to go
to any other school. Many were en-
abled by the help received to take
courses in eastern institutions later.
The teaching corps of every county in
this part of the state contains students
of the Central Normal College and
they teach better schools because of
their work there. Among the two
hundred or more graduates from the
higher courses are successful lawy srs,
ministers, editors, civil engineers,
foreign missionaries, city and county
school superintendeuts and prominent
business men. In the cottages and
farm houses of the short grass coun-
try are scores of fathers and mothers
who are living better and fuller lives
because of the time spent within those
old brick walls. The writer, who is
not ashamed to own the dying institu-
ton as his alma mater, remembers its
paimy days, when its class rooms
were crowded and its halls resounded
with the tread of feet and suppressed
talking. when the evening campus

Pawnee county farmers are building
an elevator at Rozel and the papers
say it is to eight the grain trust. -
The primary motive in these associa-

instead of ito fight the grain trust -
In other words success will be much
more certain if these associations
will quit advertising for q fight.
