Good Example for Folk.

Eight years ago when Lon V.
Stephens was a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
governor, Mourton L. Jourdaln,
then assistant attorney general
was a candidate for the Demo.
cratic nomination for attorney
general. Discouraged at his
prospects for nomination, Jour
dain, it is related, sought a
truce with Stephens forces.
which were opposing him. A
caucas was held which was at
tended by Mr.. Stephens and a
few Of his friends and some of
the friends of Jourdalu. Mr..
Stephens peremptorily cut
short the negotiations by saw
ing: "Gentlemeu, am against
Jourdain, aud if you nominate
him l shall send my resignation
to the convention. I will not
run on the same ticket with
him. The result was that
Jourdain was beaten. Does not
this indicate to Mr. Folk a wav
n which he can get out of run
ling on a ticket with Cook, AL
en-, ct al, if he wants to? Sure
y, he is not less resolute and
Ind courageous than Lon "

Three Superintendent
Speak.

I gladly take opportunity to
say a word of commentator for
the New Encyclopedia. 1t has
retained all the special merits
of the International and has
added a most gratifying array
of new features, making a work
of unsurpassed merit, both ir
subject matter and mechanica ]
execution. In 1890 purchased
the International Encyclopedia.
l used this set With great salts
faction until 1898, when l re-
placed it with the revised Inter.
national. l have found the re.
vised wholly satisfactory and
my satisfaction has been so
great that l have subscribe I'd for
the New Encyclopedia, feeling
that the advance in all lines,
together with the many new
features of the work, will repay
the purchase. In the use of
these publications for a period
OF twelve years, 1 have had
ample opportunity to know
something of the merit of this
work. I have found it accurate
comprehensive and very salts
factory and believe that the new
encyclopedia will meet all your
experimentation R. Dyer,
Elk Superintendent City Schools
Wichita, Kansas.
Il do not hesitate to pro-
nounce the New International
Encyclopedia the best that can
be had. 1t has been thoroughly
tested and has not been found
wanting in the points that go to
make up a nrSt class work OF
reference. Buy it and you have
the best. Il. L. Dayhoff, County
Superinten dent and Nominee
for State Supt., Hutchinson,
Kansas.
1t gives me pleasure to state
that the New International is
complete, free from mems opin-
ions and hobbies. Anyone need
ing complete work of its kind
can make no mistake in pur-
chasing this excellent encyclo-
paedia. "A. f. Martin, Supt. of
