A Fatal Accident.

One Of the s1ddest accidents which
has happened lately was that which
occurred at the home Of Frank Rick,
a few miles south OF Munden last Fri.
day evening.
1t seems that Mr.. Rick had been
to sale and bought a gun with which
he intended to shoot pigeons. He
left the mouse with that purpose, and
his little four year old daughter start
ed to follow him. Her mother told
her not to go, and peeled an orange
for her giving II to her in halves. The
child started ~ the barn and said she
was going To take half OF the orange
to her papa. She had no sooner
reached the barn yard, however, when
a outlet struck the frozen ground and
bounced up, hitting her and causing
almost instant death. The little girl
was the only child Of Mr.. ana Mrs.
Rick and they are nearly frantic
with grief. The father especially,
whom II Is feared may lose his mind.
Much sympathy is extended to them
inthe loss OF their little .one.-Belle-

Dispatch Harmony.

For several years the republican
party in Phillips county has been
divided against itself. This condition
as all know, las resulted from the
opposition to the methods Of a certain
set of self constituted political leaders
by those who are generally styled by
the politicians as justly he common
people," So.
The great majufity Of republican
voters are republicans because Of
the principles which the party repre-
sentS. They believe it is the party
that has contributed so largely to the
nations prosperity. They believe
the country's need is always the para
mount issue and they believe that
the party should make it so. They
do NOT believe that the sole purpose
of the party is to elevate.any man or
set Of men to particular prominence
or power. They do not believe that
the organization of tle party ought to
be controlled by politicians who per-
vert the power thus obtained to the
accomplishment of their own selfish
designs. The present division which
all good republicans who believe as
above have been trying to harmonic
has resulted from just such action on
the part OF certain politicians. ~.
sat thefecerit convention it was be.
lieSed that by mutual concessions on
the partof factions and aR agreement
as to the policy of the convention,
harmony Could be. produced and
maintained. 1.-The proposition was
fully explained to the convention and
was carried without dissenting
voice, although it was known that
many in the convention were strongly
opposed to any compromise. The
delegation was elected and agreed up.
on and instructed according to the
terms proposed by the thermometers,
and the effect If all were to live up to
the terms of the agreement would
be the desired harmony.
But every one will not do so, Last
weeks issue Of the Dispatch advises
the delegation elected and instructed
as above noted to ignore Instructions
of the convention. In that same ar
tlcle the editor states that he has
no "deslre to destroy the harmony
that was manufactured at the con-
vention last week" Perhaps the
erudlte and verbose editor of the Dis.
patch may be able to explain the con-
sistency of that article and how the
instructions may be ignored and the
harmony not destroyed. Should any
member of the delegation not vote in
accordance to the instructions of the
convention, that vote will be taken as

Of the San Bias country are lofty mys-

1t is stated that among these noun

The Need of a Primary Election Law.

The Need Of Primary Election Law.
The time is opportune for the con-
sheraton Of primary election law.
The present system is so open to ma
nipulation and the practice of meth
DDS that defeat the will OF the people,
that some change Is urgently needed
that will secure to them more Ger.
tain and sure means Of expressing
their will.
The present method of conducting
primary elections leaves the result OF
them 10 the hands Of a few machine
wire-workers. Each party fixes its
own time for holding primary cleo
tions, all different dates, leaving each
Of them open to the manipulation of
their opponents. So much Is this the
case that respectable citizens are In
different about attending them, feel
ing that by doing SO they are only.

ing managers. -, ~ C5s.i5e3i. /.
Our primary elections are the fonn-
tain source Of our politicalmachinery
and It is self evident that a pure
stream cannot be expected ftorn a pO-
luted source. f-,-. =
1t Is surely within the province Of
the state to regulate this matter and
1t is the dutyof the state TO provide
primary election system that will Sc.
cure to the people the opportunity,
and the right to express their will to
the fullest possible extent.
Primary elections should be held
and conducted in the same manner as
state elections. They should be held
on the same day. Hxed'bg the state,
for all parties, and all parties should
vote at the same polls, and the candi.
dates for all parties should be placed
on one ticket. aud no one but a regis.
tered vote: should be permitted 70
vote.
In such primary election all patti.
sans would be occupied with their
interests and could not afford to throw
away their votes to influence the re-
suit Of an opposing party.
A graduated moderate assessment

should be made or all candidates suf-
ticient to pay the expenseof the cleo;
tion. ~ ~.
All officials elected by the people
should be nominated at the primary
election. o. q,
1t might be considered desirable to
hold two primary elections, at diff
ferent dates, one for candidates for
the state legislature state senate,
congressman and all elective state Of
ficers, and one at another time for all
county and local officers.
This is but simple outline Of a
primary election system that would
guard as far as the state could pro-
vide, the sacred right of the ballot to
the people. -. G. COOPER, in the To

Is The Wheat Damaged ?

The winter has been remarkably
dry and this fact has resulted in the
considerable speculation regarding
the condition Of the wheat crop. In
formation gathered from various
sources indicates that the condition
is not the most favorable. Some state
that much of their crop has winter
killed and others who are as we'll post
ed say they have examined the grain
and find it all right. The probability
is that some of it is damaged to some
extent but none is beyond hope OF
salvation by the spring rains which
will come in the near future.

Interstate Grain Canal.

3 d. W. Blaine, OF Pratt, Kansas, is
an enthusiastic advocate of the con-
structlOn of a canal from the Missouri
river above Pierce, South Dakota,
Southerly through Nebraska, Kansas,
Oklahoma, and Texas to Galveston.
He proposes a branch canal and a
storage Reservoir on the Platte In Ne
braska for irrigating purposes. The
length of the proposed canal is about
1880 miles and of the branch about
$50 miles. Freight rates it is claimed
will be greatly reduced by a canal.
The matter will be presented to the
republican convention, at Wichita,
for party endorsement. Murdoch has
promised to bring it before congress
and an attempt will be made to have
the construction OF the canal provided
for by the government. This is a big
problem and the cost is estimated at
Sl00,O 900, 900 yet the government Is big
enough for it II the eastern representa-
tives can be convinced that they can
spare enough from what they want
for ship subsidies and harbor appropria-
tions. Development Of the interior is
one OF the greatest problems and one
which will add as materially as any to
the nations prosperity.
