first ministerial work with the Christian
church N Lincoln, Kan. afterward
coming to Colby and GOOdland as
pastor, meanwhile doing state evange-
listic work for his church. He lived in
Colby for a time and then came to
GoOdland, later becoming postmaster.
The Phillipsburg Herald was the first
to mention the GOOdland man s name
as a congressional candidate from this
district, and with more or less favor the
news has been passed along. Mr.. Stew
ems has travelled all over the district,
has extended his acquaintance, and
has support along Rock Island county
seat towns, and perhaps more espeCi-
ally IN counties traversed by the Union
Pacific railroad in this district.
While It is generally thought that
Reeder, intrenched in the Office and
otherwise fortified against opposition
candidates, viii secure the nomination,
nevertheless Mr.. Stevens has an ambi-
ton for the Office. and has as good a
right to Try to secure the nomination as

large, and as the convention date is so
early that counting of noses to see just
about how the matter stands, it would
be hard for either of the candidates to
figure out a close proportion.
Joe Burrow, secretary of state, would
like to cavort into the place, but has
some Difference for the stout horns of
Reeder. He is to gambol about the
big fellow, and in case Irrigation BiIl''
can't hold his ground, the secretary of
state viii jump in with his crumpled
horns and push, too. This is figured
out to be the Reeder-Burrow alliance
against the west-end candidate.
But Mr.. Burrows political image,
with the people of Kansas, and
especially with the Sixth district is not
such pretty thing as it was before the
equalization board unnecessarily in
creased the burden of state tax upon
all the counties of the state, possibly
with the exception of the favored few
home counties which the venerable
members of this committee hailed from.
Mr.. Burrow IS a member of this par
ticular board. With this in view, Mr..
Reeder could well whisper to his
political ally to take his form from of
his dOOr-that he would be stronger
with less strength.

Norton convention in 1902, when Reed

As far back as 1898, when Mr. Stevens

looking over the political field, men
toned him as a possible nominee, with

The following is from the Washing

Irrigation Bill Reeder, Of Kansas,
in diligent search for good jokes to
make his constituents laugh when he
gets back to his native heath, has found
something which he thinks is very
funny.
1T was handed 20 me- said 'Irriga-

The funny thing, which, IN the estima-

"How Old Is Ann" racket all to pieces,

II Johnnie Jones has seven dogs
And every dog is white
And fourteen cats came chasing round
Each one as black as night
And each two cats have eighteen lives
Less three destroyed BY rats.
How many lives must three dogs take
Before they kill eight CATS
Irrigation Bill has a funny answer
to this all prepared, but he refuses TO
divulge It until he gets on the stump in
Kansas. If the wicked newspapers
should tell before he arrives, reasons
Mr.. Reeder, what use would there be
of telling the joke anyway. To ''cinch''
