the unsatisfactory manner in which
the state house was completed

collusive agreement to cheat and de-

my heartfelt thanks to the people OF
Newberry county for the very hank
some vote they gave me on Tues

fattering endorsement of my off,
cial conduct as Master of Newberry
county. With two opponents of such
character and ability as were in the

ne. The confidence of my fellow-citi
zens is profoundly appreciated and
my efforts shall be to deserve it.

Card of Thanks.

Please allow me space in your pa
per to thank my friends, every one OF
them individually for the support given
me at the ballot boxes yesterday.
Serious illness at my home prevented
me from canvassing very actively dur
ing the last three days preceding the
election, however, in the hour OF de-
feat and anxiety at sickbed, l feel
a deep sense of satisfaction in the
consciousness that my entire canvass
from beginning to end, was open,
clean. and honest. I said in my
speeches, and I repeat it here, and l
have NO word Of complaint to utter.
I''a people :.ate spoken and | am sat-
l,ned.
I am gratefully yours,
Thos. E. Wicker.

A Card.

To the Democratic Voters of New
berry County:
Ny -citizens:-To say that |
thank you would be indeed feebly
expressing my qualification at the re-
suit of the primary on yesterday. l
believed that I would be elected. The
hattering vote which I have received
makes me more than ever the humble
servant of my friends. Against
those who opposed me honorably I
have no i'll will. Those who fought
me under cover and have been igno-
miniously defeated can look to their
own conscience for censure, as | have
none to offer.
I shall endeavor by hard work and
study to make for you faithful and
efficient officer. I shall endeavor to
lead such a life that my example will
be of benefit to others.
I pray Gods richest blessings upon
every man who cast his ballot for me
yesterday.

tention OF introducing sometime dur
ing the session manual training into
the course Of studies. This feature
must commend itself to every think
ing person as a move in the right di-
rection, and one too long neglected

FULLY SCOTT IN WRECK.

Came Out safe in the Terrible Victor
Accident.
Tully Scott, well known to the people
of northwest Kansas, four years ago
the democratic candidate for congress
man of the Sixth district, and his wife
and two little children, were in the
wreck Of the runaway car that recently
plunged down a steep grade near Vic
tor, Colo, killing thre men. From the
impact of the car when it jumped the
track, against an embankment, Mrs.
Scott and one Of her children were
slightly bruised. A number of others
were more or less injured.
After the coach, full of people, had
started down grade, the brakes could
not overcome the momentum. To save
the car from jumping the track at a
trestle further on where a chasm was
so feet deep, three men decided to
suddenly release the brakes on purpose
to derail the car. This was done with
the result that It cost several lives, but
had the catastrophe happened at the
trestle perhaps none of the occupants
would have lived to tell the story.
Tully Scott is now living at Cripple
Creek

lImON STATION IN ASHES.

Depot Building and Lunch Room De
strOyed By Firs Wednesday Morning
The station building and lunch cOun-
ter of the Rock Island at Limon, Colo,
burned to the ground Wednesday NOR
ming at about 8 O'Clock. The origin OF
the IRE is not known, but It IS suppOs-
ed that a passing engine may have ig-
nited some trash, as the FIRE started
under the platform of the depot. An
other suPPosition is that some tramPs
who had camPed and built fire near
by, had left embeTs burning; and that
the wind had blown a spark into the
trash under the platform. An attempts
to extinguish the flames were futile and
the two structures were soon reduced
to ashes.
Engineer John Williams, who with
engine 474 doubled No 9 and returned
light Wednesday afternoon from Ii
mon to GOOdland. said that No. man
aged to get past the flaming building
and went on to Colorado Springs, but
that No. 9 was delayed, the track being
