GEE THE HANDWRITING On
THE WALL.
4. \. Gaines Of the Farmers Advo-
c.ts Refuses to Be- Led into tho
Democratic Ranks-A sosthins Rs'
buke to the Politicians.

Gaines Topeka Advocate the oinolai Oh.
Populist organ Of Ksnsa" IN THIS
weeks paper he announces =. .na' y =
has severed his relations with both
the populist and Democratic parties .,s
and that in the future bis papsr Will
be independent. !, ;.
This action by Mr. Gaines was no'
wholly unexpected. Last spring ne
incurred the ill will Of the Democrats
and fusion Populists by making a Wig
orous fight for a "straight'out" Pop
Mist ticket. After the Populist state
convention, when the Populist sur
rendered to the Democrats, he lell IN
line and put the Democratic state
ticket at the head Of the editorial
column Of his paper.
Mr.. Gaines enemies, however, were
not ready to cry quits, and they pro-
ceeded to throw the harpoon into him
at every opportunity. He was 0is'
credited wherever possible when he
attempted to have anything to say
about politics.
Things reached a climax when John
curran, secretary Of the Populist
state committee, assaulted Gaines on
account Of the war the latter had been
wsging on the American Book COM
company. No one seemed to nave
sny word Of sympathy for Gaines
and even W. H. Craddock, Democratic
candidate for governor, it is asserted
wrote Curran congratulating him on
beating up Gaines.
Following is the article in this
weeks Advocate:
..With this issue this paper ceases
to be partisan, and the Democratic ,
ticket is removed from the head OF
our editorial page. 1t has long been
the desire Of the publishers to build
up in Kansas distinctively farm
paper, devoted to the agricultural
and stock interests Of the state. our
present decision has been fastened oy
reason Of the action Of the recent feo-
ple's party convention in this state
which through the efforts of mercen'
ary leaders decided that the Peoples
party should no longer be factor IN
the state and that its sdherents should
be carried en- masse into the Demo
cratic party.
"The Farmers Advocate has stood
rssolutely against iusion' it has stood
particularly against Democracy oi 'ne
kind that now is in control OF the
party in this state and the national
reorgsnizers. 1t can see no difference
80 far az the interests Of the sgricul'
tursl classes are concerned, whether
tho Republicans or the Democrats
triumph. Neither will further the
principles Of true Populism. This
paper declines to further stultify itsel'
by even an scquiescent support o.
that which it does not really believe
and every act Of the present Demo
cratic committee since lis organiza
ton has been upon the theory tha
Populists could be brow'beaten or ca
joled into the support Of their ticket
"rhe decentralization Of the People
party organization is manifest in th
fact that A. M. Harvey, Its treasurer
is openly in tie employ Of the Ameri
can Book company, and John Curran
its secretary, is his and the Book com
pany's friend"

LOCATION FOR COUNTRY STORE.
Elks viii Have a Big One Near the
Windsor

One of the principal features of the
Elks fair, and one promising as much
IN the way of amusement and fnan'
ciaI profit as any other, will be the
Country store" which at similar fairs
has proven big bonanza.
And the Americas Elks are going to
have a store that is q store,
They will be in business but five
days only, and in this brief time their
trade will fairly buzz. The store, a
frame building, will be erected in the
street, near the corner of The Windsor
And here the EIks and their pretty
clerks will sell everything portable
from coon skin to silk dress, and a
toothpick to q steam engine. All the
goods will be donated by their friends,
and every day will be bargain day.
But while the country store will be a
great feature of the fair, there will be a
hundred others.
The midway shows, the balloon as
cension and shooting of the aeronaut
from a wooden cannon while three
thousand feet in mi laiI; the daily leap
from the top of the water tower-these
are but a few of the many promised,
The Elks of Rome have their fair
next week, beginning Monday.
A big parade will be given and mem
bers of the Rome lodge will appear
uniformed in the Elks' colors. One
of the features OF the parade will be
the appearance of number of ladies
dressed in the Elks' colors and riding
horseback
The mayor and council, ministers
and committee Of citizens will visit
the midway shows and no attraction
that is not perfectly clean and fit for
ladies and children to visit will be
allowed there, or here.

POLLS
LIGHTEST VOTE
In Number Of Years in Elec-
ton Yesterday.
LITTLE INTEREST is AROUSED.
Probably Less Than 500 Votes Cast
in the County of 5000 Votes Regis
tered-CandIer is Probably a Winner
in Sumter

Not in years has state and county
election created as little interest, 10
cally, as that of yesterday. AS evil
dence of this, of the three thousand
voters registered in the county proba-
bly, not more than 500 took the time or
trouble to go to the polls and vote.
This, however, was due to the fact
that there was no opposition here to
the regular ticket.
In the country the farmers were very
busy, it being the first fair day of the
week in which they could work, and
the vote at the precincts was as light
in proportion as that here.
Interest here, as elsewhere, lay in
the contest between Judge John S
Gambler and Judge John Ross for the
supreme court judgeship. Friends Of
-Sotu gentlemen worked untiringly,
and while the official vote is not known
yet, Sumter is undoubtedly for Judge
Gambler
AS usual IN general elections, he
'scratcher" was on hand, and not a
few names of nominees were scratched,
either with or without cause.
The vote at the court house was
unusually light, ouly 3GO ballots being
cast here whereas in the state primary,
where the result was really determined,
over 1000 votes were polled. Regular
elections, therefore. arouse little in
terest as compared with that in the
primary.
In fact, one would not have supposed
that an election, especially a state
election, was in progress.
Hon. I. G.. Hudson, for state senator,
and Messrs j. A. Hixor and w, T.
Lane for representatives, received
practically the whole vote cast, as did
Sheriff Bell, Clerk Chamblss, Tax
Collector Small, Receiver Raiford,
Treasurer Speer and all the county
officers,
But two or three precincts were
heard from last night, and the figures
in yesterdays election cannot be given
until the vote of the county is consoli-
dated today.

The current was turned on in city
politics yesterday morning in the an
nouncement of two candidates for
clerk and treasurer, and while election
day is yet far off this breaking of the
political ice may be regarded as the
formal opening of the campaign
And those taking part therein will
need fan rather than an Oyercoat, as
the temperature promises to be any
thing than chilly.
In fact, it may be one of the warmest
campaigns of recent years.
The primary, as usual, will be held
the latter part of November or early IN
December, and thus the prospective
candidates will be afforded ample time
to interview the boys and patch up the
fences. There will be a full track
whenever the signal is given.
There are no 'Issoos" as yet, but is
sues will develop in time.
The election will be for mayor, three
members of council, and city clerk.
Three announcements for the latter
Office have been made, those of Messrs
T. N. Hawkes., E. J. McMath and J..

PROPERTY is BADLY DAMAGED.
Nearly the Entire Roof Was Burned
Away.

The Bibb residence on Dudley
street, which caught fire night before
last, was badly damaged, though the
fact that it was saved at all reflects
greatest credit upon the department.
The house was well afame ere the de-
partment got the alarm which, through
some mistake, was telephoned to the
residence of Chief Monahan instead Of
to the department. This caused much
delay in getting the trucks to the fire,
though the fremen worked to fine ad-
vantage after they arrived and saved
all the building except the kitchen and
roof. Mr.. Bibb saved but few of his
effects and had no insurance at all.
The house was owned by Mr., O. NJ.

when it can be had at all, is bringing
fabulous prices, selling yesterday in
northern cities at @25 per ton. This Is
almost prohibitory, and the price can
not be paid by poor people, In the
smaller cities plank sidewalks, bridges
ana other structures are being torn up
for fuel. In Chicago the stores are
selling scarf pins, the stones in them
being tiny Jumps of hard coal. For

the north. Down here we will not
