Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1902-01-03

LEAvENwoRTH will vote on proposition to
issue $500, 900 worth of bonds to buy the water
works plant of private corporation. The
Western Life is fighting the proposition. 1t
says the plant is not worth more than $4,000.
In this respect the Western Life is right in op-
posing the proposition, but the paper is wrong
in the following paragraph: "Why should the
workingman vote for the city to buy the water
works? They do not use the water, and hun
dreds of them never will. If the city owned
the waterworks, they would not employ another
man more than is employed at the present time.
Where would workingmen be bene6ted?" Why
shouldn't the workingman use the water2 If
the city should secure the water-works, and
should adopt the real Socialist principle of sell
ing the water at cost, every workingman could
use the water The nottingham is as good as
the banker, the merchant or the lawyer, and
why should he not receive the same public
benefits?

TAYLOR RIDDLES MISTAKE.

Taylor Riddle, formerly chairman of the
Populist state committee, still insists that the
Peoples party should capture the Democratic
party and adopts its name. Riddle is not
alone in this, however. There are others
though very large majority are opposed to
anything of the kind.
Let's ''supposin'." Suppose we do as Riddle
wants us to, and then suppose the Democratic
convention dominates Hill, German or some
one of that ilk, where would the Peoples DEM
ocratic party be? A large number of the Dem
ocrats Of the state would support the Democratic
nominee regardless of whether he favored trusts
or not-regardless of whether he was an i'm
perialist or an anti-imperialist. Then where
would the Peoples Democratic party be? In
the soup, of course.
The best thing the Peoples party can do is
to stick to principle, regardless of what any
other party does. This thing of dickering for
place and position should stop. When any
other party "shows us'' that it is with us, and
will stay with US to the finish, then will be
time enough to talk about Combining
ssswallowing" or "being swallowed"

A MONSTER pro-Boer meeting was held in
Topeka last Sunday. Capt. Joe Waters and
David Overmyer delivered stirring speeches,
and received round after round of applause,
nearly every one in the hall joining in the
cheers. There is not the least doubt that the
mass of the American people are in sympathy
with the brave Beers. Gen. J. K Hudson pre-
sided at the Topeka meeting.

Teddy does not believe in flee speech and a
free press Teddy will not always be presi
dent, however.

N. l.. Bowman Thought to Possess Desirable
Qualifications.
A Topeka dispatch to the Kansas City World
says:
Noah L. Bowman, of Garrett, who made
himself famous over the state by his leadership
of the opposition forces in the house of repre-
sentatives last winter, was in town today and
talked Interestingly and hopefully of the politi
cal situation in his district. Mr.. Bowman
thinks the Populists have great opportunity
this year to defeat the Republicans if they will
use little craftsmanship. He feels that there
is every reason for the opposition to get solidly
together and win, and thinks that the matter of
the name is very small if the principles are
right Mr.. Bowman mas been mentioned"
for congress, for attorney general and for gov
erncr, but it Is pretty we'll known among his
friends that he would like to run for congress
1t is conceded that he would add
materially to the strength of the ticket should
he be nominated.

IT becomes more and more evident that the
so.called reforms in the postal department are
in the interest of the express companies Word
and Works, Irl R. Hicks paper, states that
the Word and Works Publishing Company is
now sending out its almanacs by express instead
of bv mail, thus cutting off quite large item
of revenue from the postal department. Other
publishing companies are doing the same thing.
The express companies are reaping harvest
and Uncle Sam is just that much out of pocket.

Mrs. Kendall, wife of w. HI.
Kendall, writes from Central City
Neb., to which place she took her
husband after his accident here,
that he has not improved and is
still out of his head the most of
the time. There is something
very strange about Mr.. Kendall's
case. One of the rake teeth
struck him over one eye, cutting a
cash that required two or three
stitches to close, but the doctor
said there was no fracture of the
skull, nor injury in any way that
could cause the arrangement. If
there WAS any other injury of the

Notice.

Pursuant to a law passed on the
last day of the last session of Con-
gress, each United States senator
is authorized to appoint one prin-
cipal and FIVE a~lternates as midship-
men Cadets to the Annapolis
Naval Academy. Mental examin-
alton will be made in Cheyenne,
on the eleventh day of August,
1902, by the regular Civil Service
Board; and from those examined
it is my intention to select one
principal and five alternates, ac-
cording to law. The physical
examination will not be made at
Cheyenne, and only those ordered
forward as principal or ranking
alternate, will be submitted to
physical examination. The phys
ical examination will be made at
Annapolis.
| wish to hear, as early as pos
sible, from all young men who de-
sire to take the examination at
Cheyenne. Letters should state
full names, ages, etc. Age must
be between fifteen and twenty
years. Examination will be along
the usual lines for entry at West

Another Forest Fire.

Last Tuesday night another for.
est fire started on the South Fork
of Cedar creek. 1t is but a small
affair as yet, but if it burns a quar-
ter of a mile further it will reach
II very heavy body of timber and
have an uninterrupted course to
the top of the Medicine Bow
range. 1t is small, rs yet, and
could be easily extinguished. 1t
seems very strange that these
fires all start on the west side of
the range and in such a manner
that they will sweep away a large
body of timber. The Special
Agent of The General Land Office
has been notified of this fire.

longing to Stratton Brothers. In
separating them Estep and Don

into a quarrel and Estep shot the

tep went at once to Battle Lake

Concerning Bro. Deming.

Bro. Deming of the Cheyenne
Tribune, who was under agree
ment with the Wyoming Press
Association to appear at the meet
ing with a bride, now claims, &C.
cording to the Leader. that he has
been granted a years respite be-
cause of the postponement of the
meeting until next fall.
OF course we do not expect Bro.
Deming to admit it., but we sus-
pect that he could not procure
the bride and that he bribed
President Crawford to postpone
the meeting SO that he might be
given another chance. We are
led to this conclusion from the
fact that it was Deming who first
told us that the meeting had been
postponed. He knew all about it
before the president had made
the announcement Rawlins Jour
nal.

Johns absence from his camp, an
other visit from bruin left things
in pretty tough shape. 1t tore
open the tent, ate up all of his
grub and played the very old har-
ry with its contents. John says
he is not even acquainted with
the bear and does not see why it

MINING ON SPRING CREEK.
Work on the Property Of the Spring
Creek Mining Company Purchased the
sedalia-A New Find that Goes 40
Ounces in Silver.

w. o. Carpenter returned from
his mining claims on Spring creek
and brings word of the progress
of work there. He says the force
of men in the employ of the COM
pany are at work on the tunnel,
which is o W in to the extent of
$50 feet. The tunnel is being run
in on the vein and the showing
is good.
Mr.. Carpenter and F.. j. An
drews have, according to Mr.. Car
penter, just purchased the Sedalia,
a claim upon which some work
has been done, which lies two
miles down the creek from the
Spring Creek Co.'S property. The
Sedalia is a very large lead and
the pay streak carries copper.
lead, gold and silver. They be-
lieve the proposition TO be a good
one and will continue work on the
present shaft, which is now down
20 feet, and which will cut the
vein at a depth of 40 feet.
Mr.. Carpenter also brings word
of Il new fiud, made by his part
ner. Hogan Johnson, on Beaver
creek, a small tributary of Spring
creek, which runs, at a depth of
five feet, 40 ounces in silver. 1t
also shows gold, lead and copper,
but is only about lS inches wide.
Mr.. Carpenter believes the new
find to be an extension of the Sc
dalia and a very good proposition.

and how she liked it, but she now
says she is gong back to Bulgaria

however, and on Tuesday COM

sisting of G. R. Bremen, F. N.

Bemis, c.. E. Jensen and D. S.
Richmond, was empanneled and
witnesses, including the medical

Sisson, took the patient to Raw
Inns, where he will be met by an
attendant from the Asylum, and
and taken on to Evanston.
Not much hope is entertained
by DR.. Green for his recovery, az
the arrangement is of a progress
sive nature. While in apparent
good health, there are evidences
that there is a certain breaking
down of the system, one OF which
is a slight paralysis of the tongue,
which affected his speech.
