1.-THE One Before" is a broadly humorist
story by Barry Pain. II is the story Of a
magic ring, half gold. half bronze, and is
known as the "Sahib-i-dirina," having the
property OF endowing the actual wearer
with the character Of the preceding wearer.
OF course 1t is only natural there should
be a spirit Of contagious humor through
out the book. For instance, a highly or
thodox and otherwise respectable bishop
once slipped on the ring and took to liquor
and played The races. The vagaries the
"Sahib-i-dirina" brings about. the author
works over to his utmost power. Certain
curio dealers in London want to get the
ring, but are foiled in their attempts. Mr..
Ernest Saunders Farley is a frst-class
crank and you are so glad when his wife,
who wears the ring for a short time, sits
down on her idiotic husband. 1t is indeed
a wonderful ring. Published by Seribner's
Sons.

"The Kindred of the Wild" is a new
book Of animal life by Charles G. d. Rob-
erts. In the Introduction the author gives
a brief sketch Of the animal story from
Its origin in the engrossing part played in
the life drama Of primitive man by the
beasts which he hunted and those which
hunted him, through its development in
the comradeship between man and hts
various animal pets to it's literary climax
in Mr.. Kipling's "Mowgli' stories and
its psychological elimination in Mr..
Ernest Seton's story of "Krag. the Koote-
nay RAM" Mr.. Roberts latest work Of
fiction makes a most interesting addition
to the slender stock Of nature classics. He
pictures these dumb creatures with such
a hand that one feels as they gain a better
knowledge a new sympathy for them. The
weasel Is the only member Of the animal
family for which Mr.. Roberts has no
sympathy, because 1t is the only one that
kills merely for the pleasure OF killing.
He has studied with close and unwearied
interest the lives Of the great eagle. the
lord Of the air; the panther that rules on
the Upsalquitch, the ~lueifee, haunter of
the pine gloom; Kehonka, the Wild goose,
and all the furred and feathered creatures
Of the wilderness and the hunted trails.
In view OF the great and growing interest
In the study Of nature, seen through the
eyes OF close observers and trained re-
corders like Mr.. Roberts and reported
under the guise OF Action. this will be a
book Of great popular interest. Published

ing story. The book is finely illustrated
with drawings by Frederic Remington,

Christy and others and is published by
Charles Scribner's Sons OF New York. The
title story is the best thing in the book,
but two Of the others are remarkable tales
that would make the reputation Of an un-
known writer. Although Mr.. Davis made
his first hit with a short story, still he
does his finest work in a long novel like
Soldiers Of Fortune in which there is
space for the development OF character and
the proper sequence of incident. He bids
fair to equal, II not surpass, this novel in
the romance entitled Captain Macklin,"
which is now running as a serial in scrib-

ANOTHER scandal crops out
over the republican management
of the State Asylum for the In
sane, at Topeka. Chas. B.
Hardy, formerly register of deeds
OF Kingman county, was sent to
the Topeka institution a few
months ago. He complained OF
i'll treatment, and warned his
wife that rather than stand the
starvation and abuse he would
Kill himself. About two weeks
ago, while out walking with the
guards he threw himself in front
OF a moving train and was
ground to pieces. Mort Albaugh,
of Kingman, chairman of the re-
publican state committee, is said
to have advanced $75 to have
the remains of Hardy properly
prepared and coffined before be-
ing sent to his folks at Kingman.
1t now developes that the body
was picked up from the railroad
track, dumped into cheap cof-'
fin without any regard to con-
dition, without washing off the
dirt and blood, and thus sent
home to the heart-broken wife.
This is but another sample of the
gross mis-management of public
affairs by the present republican
administration
Barton County democrat. [volume] (Great Bend, Kan.) 1885-1915, 1902-10-31

A REPUBLICAN of this county,
who is not particularly mashed
on the Long kind of politicians,
is responsible for the assertion
that the republicans are going
to spend near $1,000 in Barton
county to try and secure the
election of their candidate for
rep resen tative-a Long man.
And there is color to the story.
Every effortpossible will be made
by the republican politicians to
defeat the farmer candidate,
Henry Langfeld, and elect the
man whom they want principally
to vote for Long for o. S. Sena-
tor. Vote for Henry Langfeld
and you viii be voting for a mar

/, HUNDREDS of thousands of
ballots, throughout Kansas,
had to be reprinted, by reason
Of the numerous fool provisions
of the disfranchising election
law; and it is the judgement of
nine out of ten people in the
state that the whole blamed fool
business is illegal and contrary
to our constitution. One prom
inent republican at Topeka stat
ed thatit was sthe greatest fraud
ever perpetrated upon a free
people, and 1 regret deeply that
our party (republican) must
stand responsible for it," He
expressed the sentiment of every
honest republican in the state.
In the efforts OF the tricksters to
disfranchise half the voters OF
the state and to build up "ma-
chine" politics, they undoubtedly
have over-reached themselves,
and deserve the fate of political
defeat which we believe awaits
them next Tuesday.

ELECTION INSTRUCTIONS.

/
Some of the rules that will govern
the actions of judges of election under
the present conglomeration of errors
and inconsistencies called the Kansas
election law, are as follows:
| Your ballot will be thrown out,
If cross K mark shall be found
thereon outside of circle or voting
square; or
| z. If any mark shall be found there
on other than the cross x mark: or
3. If cross x mark shall be found
in the circle at the head of a ticket and
also in one or more voting squares on
that or any other ticket; or
a.. II a cross x mark shall be found
in two or more circles at the head of
different tickets; or
thereon other than the name of some
person whose name IS not printed on
the BALLOT for whom the voter has voted
in the blank column; or
6. If more candidates have been
marked than there are persons to be
elected to an office; or
?. If the ballot has been defaced or
torn by the voter; or
8. If there has been erased from the
ballot any device. emblem. figure.
letter, or word; or
g. If the ballot has been written up.
on or marked with anything except a
pencil having black lead.
1t has been decided by August At
torney general or some of his assistants
that in making the x. mark one line
crossing another at any angle, within a
circle or voting square, is deemed a
valid voting mark.
The rules for conducting the election
and counting the votes:
Open the polls at a. M. and close
them at p. m.
"All vacancies on the board must be
filled from the political party from
which the vacancy occurs; provided.
there be such willing to serve.
"Heretofore. each name has bad to
be called off and tailed separately,
even though it was straight ticket.
Now, separate lines are put at the tor
of the tally sheet reading "Straight
Republican, Ballots" straight Demo-
crat Ballots" etc. A straight ticket is
counted by making one tally mark in
the line after these words. When the
count is completed the number of these
tally marks is counted and set down in
a column after the name of each candi.
date on the ticket.
Split tickets are counted as hereto
fore.
'.The new law specifically requires
that the crpvass of the votes shall
commence as soon as the polls are
closed, and be continued without post
ponement or adjournment until COM
pleted. The general ballots ere to be
counted and tho result announced be-
fore the other ballots are counted"
Then, after the general ballots are
counted-those with state and county
tickets on-the township ballots, al
after them the amendment ballots are
to be counted.
1t should be plain to every Demo
| crat and Peoples Party voter, that
the safest way to vote is to mark q
cross in the CIRCLE on the Democratic
ticket, and make no other mark on the
ballot. If you mark any other place or
| the ballot, don't touch the circle.
The republicans are urging all their
people to "Vote'er straight" For sell
protection our,voters should do like
wise. flight the devil with FIRE.
