CANDY CONTESTS ELECTION.
Formal Notice Served on DR.. smith Mon
day-The Instrument Names the
Precincts in Which Fraudu-
lent Votes Were Cast

The promised election contest tor a
seat in the Iegisla turs took formal
shape Monday. DR.. Candy the repub-
Iican candidate served notice on Dr.
Smith the democratic candidate elect
that a contest of his election had been
instituted in due form alleging fraud,
bribery, neglect and irregularity in
the election.
The precincts named and the num-
Der of fraudulent votes cast in the
same are as follows:
GOodland-First ward, ,; Second
ward, 9; Third ward, 3; Llanos, 1; IN
ion, :; Washington, 1; Iowa, ,; Sher
manviIle, 1; Smoky, 4; Lincoln, ?; Vol
taire, l; State Lin e, 1; Mcpherson 4;
PhilIippsburg-abs voters
The instrument was type written
and acknowledged before Chalkley L.
Wilson, notary public. 1t is under
stood that the Wilson brothers, attOr
neys, prepared the paper and put the
contest In legal form. The petition or
information alleges bribery, fraudu-
lent voting, the re-oPening Of the polls
after legal hours Of closing to allow
votes to be cast for Dr.. Smith, the ne
gIect Of election boards to perform
their duties and properly sign and
make election returns. In one in
stance the board of election is charged
with cleo pioneering at the polls
This is the showing which will be at
tempted to be made before the com
mittee on privileges and elections of
the state legislature. Dr.. Smith will
deny all these allegations. charge the
improper use of money by DIR. Candy
and will perhaps demand a recount of
the votes cast in Sherman county.

DUTIES OF THE OFFICE.
Supreme Court Has Defined Those Of
County Attorneys, Especially as
to the PrOhibitOry Law.
- To- g JournaI.

From Topeka State Journal
The opinion Of the Kansas supreme
court IN the case of the state versus
Foster printed In the thirty second Kan
sas applies exactly to the situation in
Shawnee county. The case was brought
against County Attorney John Foster Of
Saline county in 1855 70 Dust him from
Office because Of his failure to enforce
the prohibitOry law. The Kansas su-
preme court ousted him from Office. The
case was carried to the United States
supreme court and the decision Of the
Kansas court was affirmed. The follow
ing is from the opinion Of the Kansas
supreme court:
Ga county attorney before entering
upon the duties of his Office must take
and subscribe an oath that he viii sup
port the United States constitution and
the constitution Of the state Of Kansas
and faithfully discharge the duties OF
his Office. After utterIug this oath be
cannot sit down with folded hands and
refuse to perform the duties imposed
upon him solely because the sentiment
Of the community or county in which he
resides is IN opposition to the enforce
ment of the criminal laws Of the state.
Such action on his part would tend to
increase lawlessness. Under such a
doctrine the more lawless the communi-
ty the less the criminal prosecutions.
I Such action would be a temptation for
malfactOrs to create a sentiment against
the criminal laws and to a great degree
the law loving and law abiding citizens
would be at the mercy of the criminal
classes. The state owes the duty to its
+ citizens to protect them in the full en-
ioyment of all their rights and if the
lawless element Of any community or
county happens for the time being to be
in the majority the orderly, quiet,
/ peaceable citizens ought not to be sub
/ jected to their domination. The laws of
/ the state should not be suspended at the
will of any class much less of a class
who hagrantly avow their determination
to defy the law.
The county attorney vi thin his cOun-
/ ty to a certain extent IS representative
for the state. He is the officer upon
whom the state relies for the prosecu-
ton Of all criminal offenses within his
| jurisdiction. Ifhe fails or refuses to
act the law is voiceless and pOwerless.
1t is paralyzed. 1t protects no one
needing protection; it Furnishes no one
deserving punishment. If a county at
torney vigilantly and earnestly dis
charges his duty by frequent PFosecu-
tons il a community seemingly indiffer-
ent to the enforcement Of law his action
will Of necessity call the attention OF the
public to the disregard Of the law and
the dangerous consequences following
therefrom; his action viii often result in
enlightening public sentiment and in
Icrystalizing public opinion IN favor OF
enforcement Of the law. If a county at
tOrney may willfully refuse to act in one
particular class of criminal Offenses OF
account of the opposition to be expect
ed from the sentiment Of the cOmmun
ity in which he resides he may refuse
for like cause to act in all classes oil

With 4he approach of cold weather
the griddle-cake appears on the break
fast table. Rightly made, even buck
wheat cakes, of which 50 many Unkind
things have been said, may be eaten
without danger. Buckwheat is an orr
eEtal grain, dark IN color, oily, and
very fattening. While a great deal of
it is raised, very little reaches the mar
ket in an unadulteFated state. Any
thing from wheat middlings to bran,
is used to mix with it. Some of the
pure-fOod enterprises ought to furnish
the market with real buckwheat in

Grew When Railroad Came.

Berryville is the county seat of Car
roll county, Ark, and its present popu-
lation is something over 500. This fig
ure represents an increase Of more
than 200 people in the last six months,
a perfectly normal result of the infu-
sion of energy occasioned by the intro
duction of a railroad into so resource
full a territory. The census of 1900
gave Berryville a population of 551.
The difference represents something
more than mere per capita increase.
Enlarged business interests, new and
substantial residences and many other
notable improvements have marked the
growth of Berryville in manner I'M
mistakably Indicative of solid and last
ing prosperity. The town has present
ed clean cut, substantial appearance.
Business blocks and houses alike are
characteristic for an absence of that
rickety, Slatternly appearance so com
monty apparent in agricultural centers.

OKLAHOMA ENERGY.
Il Doesn't Take Years to Build a
Town In the Territory.

The board of trade of Norman, Okla,
Is up and doing all the time. Here is
nm extract from a "write up" printed
In the Kansas City Times. They spelfl
money, but get 1t back.
The county seat of CloSeland county,
Okla, and its largest city and largest
market town is Norman, city of 8, 700
population, on the Santa Fe, and soon
to be entered by the Cherokee Central
from the northeast.
Six years ago Norman was a scatter
ed and scant trading town, new and
untried. It's natural advantages have
gradually built it up to its present
size, and new interests centering there
recently are attracting widespread at
tention in q way that promises to lift
Norman into prominence as the lead
ing educational center of the territory
and double its retail and commercial
interests.
AS the trading center of an area fifty
miles across, all classes of retail busl-
sion and closer settlement are con-
stantly inviting new merchants to the
town, and in every case they are doing
well, as evidenced by broad business
streets building up with fine business
blocks. The advantages of Norman
as a manufacturing point are just be-
ginning to be appreciated, and cotton
gins, oil wells, a -four mill, artificial
ice plant and several other industries
distribute large wage roll monthly,
and an active commercial club is 60
ing after new Industries. Any new in
dustry receives substantial encourage
ment from the organized business in
terests of Norman.
Norman owns its own waterworks
system. A private lighting concern
furnishes light to the city, but there is
a fine opening there for capital In the
way Of an electric light franchise
The city is practically out Of debt.
Few cities in the country can boast
such school privileges as Norman en-
Joys. There are two fine public school
buildings, with an enrolment of 1,12S
and an average attendance Of 700
scholars.
There Is not vacant house In Nor
man and no empty business rooms.
New buildings are being put up this
fall, and next year a very active build
ing operation is in sight.
Residence property runs from SO to
$400 per lot and business property
from $500 to $1,000 per lot and is be-
ginning to experience a lively move
ment. Farm buyers from Iowa, ILL
nois, Ohio, Missouri and Kansas are
coming in rapidly and getting farms as
homes and as investments.

HIGHWAY PROGRESS.
Tho Demand For Improved Roads
Spreading Rapidly.

No more striking revision of popular
sentiment on the good roads question
has been noticed anywhere than that
which, in the last few years, has &C.
Cured in New England, says the New
York Sun. In Rhode Island, for in
stance, people were so accustomed to
mire and mud that until the use of
rubber tires impressed the citizens with
the true state of their highways there
was little prospect of lettering the con-
dltions. Now the matter has become
one Of absorbing interest.
Highway 1gineering in Massachu-
sets Is being prosecuted diligently, and
for some time experiments have been
conducted in order to determine what
material or composition of materials
possesses the most desirable properties
Of cementation and Is most likely to re-
sist wear and tear. Rock and sand and
gravel from adjoining states have been
tested and their value for roadmaking
passed upon by biologists and en-
gineers.
Reports similar to those from Massa-
chusetts come from Maine, New lamp
shire, Vermont and Connecticut. What
New York has done and hopes to do for
the improvement of its highways Is
pretty generally known. Although the
legislative appropriations for this pur-
pose have not so far been so large as
the more enthusiastic good roads advo-
Gates have desired, the popular demand
that the highways Of New York shall
be inferior to none in the world was
never so strong as 1t Is now.
With the greatly increased demand
for first class highways, it is very sat-
isfactory to find that the cost of max
Ing them Is diminishing year by year.
not only in California, but elsewhere.
The estimated cost per mile of roads in
New York state for which petitions
were received by the state engineer
some months ago was about $1,000,
and this sum Is, necessarily, very much
In excess of the cost Of roads in other
parts Of the United States. 1t affords,
however, a very significant and crafty
ing contrast with the cost of first class
highways in the days of the Romans,
which, it Is recorded, was about $780,
600 a mile.

Our Libraries.

There are at the present time $3.50
public, society and school libraries In
the United States having 1000 volumes
or more. This is an increase of 1857
libraries since the beginning of 1896.
These 1888 libraries contain no less
than 1851 ,S51 books, an increase of
more than 100000 volumes in five
years, or nearly thirty-five per cent.
There is one library for every 14,11S
Inhabitants of the United States. In
1891 there were Al volumes to every
100 of the population. while in 1900 II
had grown to 80 volumes. The general
libraries number 1879; there are lips
school and $50 college Libraries. That
these institutions are largely patron
lied is shown by the fact that during
the year ending July /, 1901, 2.405
libraries issued for home use 4S.410.-
128 volumes.

EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR OF IMPROVED
STORAGE HOUSE FOR CELERY.
a growth sufficient to establish the
roots in the soil and to complete the
development of the inner leaves. Thor
ough freezing is fatal, but the lowest
temperature at which freezing will not
take place is most desirable Not only
does this temperature hold the plant in
the desired condition of greatly sus-
pended activities, but Il renders next
to impossible the growth of injurious
fungi, which would speedily wilt and
rot it.
In order, then. to approach the tenn
perature sought the house should be so
snugly constructed as to provide
against freezing. Again it should be
SO provided with ventilating appli-
ances that at any time advantage may
be taken of any cold intervals to rap
idly and effectually chill the house,
after which it might be securely closed
for a warmer period, and, with this
Enclosed lower temperature, remain for
time at point more nearly that de-
sired. The accompanying illustration
shows the exterior and interior of an
improved storage house for celery, Of
which further details are set forth in

ton.

SUBMERGED WITH ORDERS.
Yet the Advertiser Had Small Faith
IN Ncwspnper Publicity.

In Newspaper Publicity.
An old fashioned lack Of faith in the
results to be obtained by advertising,
though the doubter is paying out many
dollars every month on advertising &C.
counts, is not infrequent even in these
enlightened days, says Profitable Adj
vertising. A prosperous manufacturer
recently got out an entirely new line
of goods, and because of some lapse in
his usual conversation the advertising
man of the concern found a chance to
use the papers OF the country very
freely in blazoning the merits of the
new goods.
After couple of months the manu-
facturer awoke to the recklessness of
using so much newspaper space and
made a move to cut it all out, remark
ing incidentally that he couldn't
understand at all how this new line
of goods had taken so well, they were
almost submerged with orders and yet
nothing had really been done to bring
1t before the public" He didn't count
the newspaper advertising as factor
in selling goods and could hardly be
persuaded to give it the credit for a
phenomenally good start off to his
wares, even though by the law Of ex-
clusion there was no other way of ac-
counting for it.

CELERY FOR LATE WINTER.
An Improved Storage House-How 1t

An Improved Storage HOuse-HOw 1t
Is Constructed and Run.
The storing of celery for the late win
ter trade is an important problem in
the north; but, according to the Rhode
Island station, the present methods Of
keeping it are defective for commercial
purposes in being too wasteful or re-
quiring too much labor. Observation
and experience lead to the belief that
the best winter celery is that which is
protected by covering 1t with earth and
forest leaves in the field where is Is
grown without disturbing the roots un-
til it is wanted for use. B. NJ. Duggar
of the New York Cornell station dis
cusses the principles involved in the
construction of celery houses as fol-
lows:
To continue it's vitality, succulence
and crispness celery must continue in
the storage house a very slow growth
