1t appears that newspaper libel suits
were in fashion in Republic county as
early as 1874. The Belleville Telescope
was sued for SANDER for charging an
other newspaper man with defrauding
Republic county out of certain sums OF
money. The Telescope fought its good
fight, and was the means of unearth1ng
frauds amounting to about $1,000, which
was refunded to the county. Similar
cases have happened more recently in
other parts of Kansas outside the Inn
it's of the Fifth district.
In the baseball tournament between
several northern Kansas towns, out Of
eight games played, the Belleville club
carries off the honors OF winning SIX OF

John Larson has kept the people of
Scandia cool for many years. That is,
he furnishes them their ice. He came
to Scandia as early as 1869. He has re-
Gently built a new stone ice house which
will hold about 600 tons. Prosperity has
blessed him to such an extent this year
that he presented his daughter a new
whole-souled fellows who are always
pleasant to meet. He is against an ice
trust.

senate; c. N. Peck, director of a bank,

used to be when the Populists were in
the saddle in these three senatorial dis

for a rattlesnake than a banker. How
ever, the three senatorial candidates
