REPUBLICAN MAJoRITIEs.

Dickinson county redeemed itself
splendidly at the election. The Re-
publican ticket from top to bottom
every officer was elected by majorities
ranging from 400 to 900. President
Roosevelt of course heads the list and
will, have close to 1900 over Parker.
The local ticket received splendid
majorities everywhere fully unfolding
the Republican claims.
The hardest fight was on Favor and
Towner but they are elected by ma
.jorities over $50, a tribute to the high
standing and popularity of those
gentlemen.
A large number Of straight votes
were cast. For instance, Enterprise
gave 81 straight Republican and 25
straight Democratic votes. The first
ward Of Abilene gave 70 straight Re-
publican votes and 81 straight Demo-
cratic. The Fourth ward had 81
straight Republican votes.
Solomon made a fine record ex.
cept in spoiled ballots, about 20 being
defective. Roosevelt carried it by 33
and Harris, Democrat, by So, or 20
less than he carried it two years ago.
Chapman piled up Republican
imojority that is good to look at ex-
cept on two or three candidates.
Hope cleaned the platter to the
tune Of about 100 majority.
Enterprise heaped up about 80 for
the Republican ticket.
The Democratic candidates OF course
feel somewhat disappointed but it is a
pleasure to remember that the cam
-paign has been a clean, fair one and
both sides have taken 1t good ma
turedly. The Republican candidates
and papers have abused no one and
generally speaking there have been
no bad feeling anywhere. That is
the way to conduct campaign.

A Great Production.

The magnitude Of the production
to be accorded the new English musi-
cal comedy, "a Chinese Honeymoon"
which comes to the opera house,
junction City, Friday, Nov. II, may
be estimated from the railroad equip
ment necessary to transport the COM
pany and its scenic effects. On the
trip from New York the railroad COM
pany furnished two si1ty-ioOt bag
gage cars, day coach and two Pull
man sleepers for the special service
required. There are seventy-fve
people In the organization and the
stage production is exactly the same
in every particular IS that which won
ell New York's admiration during its
long run Of 425 nights at the Casino

MUCH MYSTERY IN CLOSING.
R. D. Niles Store. Dayton, in Hands
of Chicago Receiving Firm.

An air Of mystery surrounds the
closing Of the doors Of the R. D. Miles
store in Dayton (near Dillon) Kas.,
and the announcement posted that
Stevens & Co., adjusters of Chicago,
have taken charge Of the stock and
will dispose OF it at bargain sales.
Neither Mr.. Miles nor Mr.. L. E.
Kloeber, who is in charge, would state
the cause Of the temporary closing
except that the doors. would be opened
on Saturday, the 18th, inst, and a
special sale conducted. In speaking
Of the matter Mr.. Kloeber said, THE
store is only closed for the time being.
I am not in position to say much
regarding the matter except that an
adjustment is being made and the
stock will be sold"
While, - stated. no definite iufor-
nation can be obtained, Il is under.
stood that It is a difficulty such as
often arises between dealers like Miles
and the large Wholesale firms Of whom
they buy. The firm OF Stevens & Co.
is often called into such work BY The
wholesalers and this is thought to be
. similar case.

TALK TO THE VOTERS.
Republican Central Committee Issues
an Address.

an Address.
To the Voters of Dickinson County:
The Republican central committed
is thoroughly appreciative of the
splendid support given the entire Re-
publican ticket by the voters Of Dick
inson county. Tn, cordial reception
accorded the candidates in their cam
paign has been ratified by a rousing
majority that for the first time In
nearly two decades has resulted in a
clean Republican sweep.
While the fine tribute to President
Roosevelt is highly commendable that
to the county candidates is no less SO,
for every one is worthy Of the support
Of the citizens Of this county and de-
serves the confidence OF all. In be.
half OF the candidates we wish to
thank the voters or their generous
support and for the committee to ex-
press our appreciation Of the endorse
ment Of Republican principles given
by Dickinson county at the polls. Of
which we are exceedingly proud.
The victory has been agnificent
one and the obligations are no less
important. The Republicans have
before them the duty d administering
Dickinson's affairs. With such clean,
able gentlemen as have been selected,
we can pledge that there will be
given such an acceptable service,
with fairness to all, as will commend
itself to the entire county.
Respectful ly,
d. W. NALL, Chairman.
J. A. YOUNG, Secretary.

Whipping Into Form

Captain Hess of the Congress
nine is getting his "balltossers" in
trim for the carnival game at Pres
colt. The excursion rate to Gran
ite Dells, one fare for the round
trip, will give the folks from here a
chance to see the Congress-Prescott
game, as they can get off at Pres
colt, but on this occasion tickets
will be good for the one day only.
This arrangement will be a little
awkward for those who wish to see
the ball game on Sunday and stay
to take in the carnival before re-
turning. 1t may that the carnival
rates will be in force by May day.

Dan Thorne Jr. arrived today
from the Santa Maria section. He
speaks in an encouraging manner
of mining in that section, and par
ticularly so over the operations of
the Sultan Company. At the lat

and the success of the property is
unquestioned. A force of seventy
men is employed. Mr.. Thorne
says that his father returned direct
to New York after the examination
of various mines in that section,
and in which there were others
from the East with him.-Prescott

Weaver Merchant Dead

w. N. Conklin, the Weaver mer-
chant, died last Sunday morning
at his place of business. He came
to Weaver about four years ago
and began business on limited
scale and built up nice little busi-
ness. He lost all his stock two
years ago by fire. He was sixty
nine years of age, and left five
children, all of whom live at San
Bernardino, Cal. One of his daugh-
ters arrived here Thursday and
went out to take charge of his
property. She came down Mon
day and took the remains up to
Prescott, where they were inferred.
None of his children have ever
been here before, and the daughter
who came to take charge of his af-
fairs knows nothing of the situa-
ton and has not yet determined
upon whether to keep the store
going or not.

A. V. Kelley and w. Phillips,

have returned to Prescott. They
came through Martinez the other

the Sun Cloud mine is as fine as
silk. They say that the mill in
stalled there is the completest
thing they have ever seen, and that
there is nothing common about the
camp at all.

sciousness of a duty we'll per-
formed, thinking inwardly that he
had laid the plans for the convic-
ton of some murderer. he felt like
taking a "nip" and stopped at Bur-
nell's to get nipped, and had all
his dreams nipped in the bud. An
Indian who is engaged in driving a
team for the Rincon Mines Com
pany was resting few minutes
there and heard the story, and To-
eating the spot OF the find. his
cOuntenance took on serious look.

die; nobody kill him. Go dig more
if YOU want 'em. Lots Indian close
to that place. What for them fell

Partners Pass Over the
Dark River
K, E, KILGORE AT OAKLAND
And Mr.. Gale in Minnesota
the Old Sinclair Ranch Over
at YarnelI in This County

K. E. Kilgore, of the firm of
Gale q Kilgore, who bought the
Sinclair ranch at Yarnell about a
year ago, died on the 9Th instant
at Oakland, Cal. His partner,
Gale, died in Minnesota about a
month before Kilgore. So the firm
is no more. Kilgore left here about
two weeks before he died for Oak
land to see if he could get better,
and to be with his own friends at
that place. He was a prominent
Mason and Woodman and the Ma
sons took charge of his funeral,
but were aided by the Woodmen.
His mother, Mrs. Kilgore, who is
living at the Sinclair ranch at Var
nell, could not attend the funeral
on account of the great distance,
and her sons partner being dead
she could not leave the ranch. She
will go to Oakland shortly, for she
will receive several thousand dol
lars insurance money from bene-
1ciary orders to which he belonged.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing between her and Mr.. Sin
clair over the ranch, and it is
likely that some kind of a lawsuit
will be the result of the difficulties.

that alfalfa cutting is going on
