Took Another Recess.

The county commissioners met again
last Thursday and allowed part of the
election expenses and took recess until
next Saturday, the 22nd. According to
the clerk judgment this ties up the
returns and can't be published and the
public is as much in the dark as ever.
1t is hoped that the mandamus case
will be appealed and filed in the su
preme court by that time so that the
commissioners can certify to the re-
turns without certifying to lie, and
at the same time escape punishment
for contempt of court.
Mr.. NiXon's attorneys, of course, are
delaying the case as long as possible
in the hope of defeating the Will of the
people. Anything but fairness goes
with them.
A recount of the ballots would show
MIR. Walker elected by IS or 80 yet the
people of this county must go down in
their pockets individually to get his
five plurality counted which appears on
the poll books, saying nothing of the
votes thrown aside on mere techni-
calItles.
Verify, it does seem that ''p urifca-
tion in politics is an irrIdescen, Dream

Prof. J. L. Owens, an armless man,
was here several days entertaining the
people. He has wonderful power with
his feet--plays all sorts of stringed in
struments, sharpens pencils. writes a
nice manuscript, ,shaves himself threads
aneede and makes his feet and toes take
the place Of hands and fingers. He ex-
plains his skill from the fact that he
was born 5armless and learned to use
his legs and feet in this way from
childhood.

Interesting Meetings.

DR.. L. u. Lamkin is conducting
series of very interesting revival meet
ings at the Baptist church and is being
greeted with large congregation each
day and night. He arrived on Tues
day OF last week and has given his
whole energies to the meetings every
day since his arrival. The meetings
will close next Sunday night.
The results of the meetings are very
satisfactory. On Monday night there
were seven conversions and several be-
fore and since that time. The church
is crowded with interested listeners
each night.
DR.. Lamkin is an able and forcible
evangelist and carries the gospel truth
to his listeners with great earnestness
and simplicity. His sermons are match
less in clearness and carry great weight
with those who have desire to learn
biblical facts and ally themselves on the
side Of christianity.
The business men of the city have
kindly consented to close their stores
at O'Clock every night this week in
order to give DR.. Lamkin every advan-
tage to carry on the laudable work.
Those who have not yet heard him
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity before he leaves the city. If it
does not elevate you spiritually it will
certainly be an intellectual treat.
We believe the city has been made
better by his coming.

To whom 1t may concern:-
On the End day of November, In the
pulpit of the Christian Church at
Medicine Lodge, Kansas. 1, the under
signed, made the statement that a Ger
tain man who was running for Office
in Kansas had stated that he did not
believe there was vlrtuous woman III
the state. Immediately ersthe close
of the services, in private COW orsation,
l stated to John W. Finley and others
that referred to Vernon j. Rose.

ness of that charge, retract my state
ment in reference to Mr.. Rose and ex-

ELDER TANKSLEY RETRACTS.
Plain Statement of His Charge Against
Vernon j. Rose and an Unqualified
RetractiOn.

Elder r. Ii. Tanksley has done the
honorable thing il explaining how he
came TO make mistake in making a Sc
riOus charge against Hon. Vermont Rose
the democratic candidate for congress-
man, and makes public retraction in
the following statement which he re-
quests us to publish which request we
gladly grant.
November 16, 1902
Two weeks ago today, after preach.
ing a sermon from the text, Here
have we no continuing city but we
seek one in the world to come," em.
phasiZing the necessity of raising the
standard of morals and of christian liv-
ing in the home, thus preparing our
selves for the never changing home
above, and applying it to the removing
from our present church home to the
new and better equipped church that
we were about to construct, urging
them not to be too much alta ched to
earthly structures, l said we are soon
to cast freeman's ballot again and
our vote will largely determine our in
terest in the home. ContinueIng, L
said that we sometimes become so
blinded by party prejudice that we
seem to forget the moral interest of
home, then saying that we have bald
headed bachelor running for Office in
our state who has no more interest
(seemingly) in our homes than to
say that he did not believe there was
viItuOus woman in the state. After
closing the service was asked whom
Ing as my authority Mrs. Fl. e Shepherd.
Some prOhibitiOnists said That's a
good talk for us" but some democrats
came to me and said That's a speech
for MIR. Long and you must have been
paid for it, which was very unjust as
we'll as untrue. But so sure was that
the statement could be substantiated
that asked a prominent Democrat to
CAL Mrs. Shepherd over the phone and
[ would pay all expenses, which prop
ositiOn was refused. The matter was
referred to Mr.. Rose by wire. He an
swered that the statement was lie and
could choose between a retractiOn or a
suit. / said" I'll not retract now for
believe it is true and will have to hear
from her first" wrote her immedi-
ately but went to see her later and pas
sed the answer to my letter on the way,
She tells me that my wife was mistaken,
that she Mrs. Shepherdl inreferring t,
preachers, Mr.. Rose and another, that
the other said he did not believe there
was a true woman in the church, and
that she had gotten the names confus-
ed.
AS for what said as principle and
the application made of it 1 haye no
apology to offer but as a gentleman and
minister of HIS Word / am doubly
sorry that L have used the name of Mr..
Rosa and I hereby exonerate him abso-
lutely from the charge made. In his
behalf offer this apology befo:e you,
my congregation, and 1 make this ac-
acknowledgement in the Index where ref
erence was made to this unfortunate
mistake two weeks ago.
Yours for better citizenship.

The attorney generals ruling on
compensation for judges and clerks Of
election works great injustice where q
large vote is cast. They get no more
for counting three sets of ballots than
they do for counting one set. In this
township the men began work at eight
o'clock on the morning of the 4th and
worked continuously until about five
on the evening OF the 5th, got no sleep
at all, and received only $3.50 for 1t.
1t is isn't right.

It is stated that the republicans are
going to contest Allen Smith and Billie
Haun. Certainly, if they can knock out
6ve plurality they can knock out los.
With them it has resolved itself into a
question of power in high places. The
question of right doesn't enter into it
at all. We learned that when they en-
acted their dastardly ballot law.
