IdilS Is luis true Ill tile cdiupdlRn loF
securing irrigation district and reser-
voir, and the success Of this enterprise
is due in no small measure to Mr..
Vernon's efforts.
Mr.. Johnson is the owner Of large
ranch aud cattle interests in the south
western part of the county: he is 4
young man OF first-class business abili-
ty, a good neighbor and an excellent
citizen. Not OILY the live stock inter
ests of the county. but all other inter
ests viii. be protected by the election
of Mr.. johnson commissioner.
While the Office OF coroner Is not q
very important one in Sedgwick coun-
ty under ordinary circumstances, there
might come a time when it would be
very necessary to have in that office a
man of trst-rate int ogrity and high
sense Of honor. A man possessed of
these traits, in addition to many other
qualifications, is Thomas W. Jenkins,
the republican candidate Mr.. Jenk-
iDs is not a graduate of the Chicago
University and he never took a post
graduate course in the University of
Leipzig; neither did he take especial
studies under Prof. Koch at Berlin;"
but he is nevertheless eminently quail
itied for the Office to which he aspires.
1t is not necessary that the coroner be
a physician; in fact occasions might
arise when it would be very important
that he be anything but a physician.
With all due respect TO the much edu-
Gated candidate upon the renegade re-
publican-democratic ticket, we be-
speak for Mr.. jenkins a decisive vic
tory at the polls on November sLh.
At the bottom uf the ticket we find
the name of James P. Krum, candidate
for surveyor, and we recognize at once
the truth of that homely old saying:
Last but not least" The fact that
Mr.. Krum allowed his name to be plac-
ed upon the ticket for this office speaks
volumes in praise of his republicanlsm
The Office of county surveyor is an un-
important Que utlOcT pItStuU COuul-
tions in Sedgwick county; there is no
work to be done, and of course there
is no salary connected with the office.
Ordinarily the office goes a-begging,
and is handed to any who will have it.
However, from this time forward the
surveyors Office is likely to be worth
something aud it is necessary that a
competent man be elected to it. Such
man is Mr.. Krum, who is qualified
both by education and practical eX-
perience to I'll the Office in a satisfac-
tory manner. The presence Of such a
man upon the republican ticket not
only adds strength to that ticket, and
serves 10 tittingly round out an alto
gether invincible ticket, but 1t as
sures the election of county surveyor
this fall who will he surveyor in fact
as well as in name.
With this array Of worthy candi
dates the republican party goes be
fore the voters OF Sedgwick county anC
asks their support, firmly convinced
that the appeal will not be in vain.

w. II. Pound, the district attorney
OF northeastern Colorado, spent last
Sunday in Brush. The gentleman WAS
on his way to attend court at Wray.
Mr.. Pound is a candidate for re-elec'
ton on the republican ticket, and his
chances for election are very encour'
aging, as his record for the past two
years is of such a character as to be-
speak for him a heavy vote, which is
not all confined by any means to the
republican party. BRUSH Republican.

Pounds Record is Good

Judge w. II. Pound, of Julcsburg,
was in Holyoke the first OF the week.
Mr.. Pound has been renominated for
the Office of district attorney. He has
served the district well as attorney and
is deserving of large majority at the
coming election. He has not made
any extra expense for the county and
has been very economical in his pro.

Growing Daily
Population Of Indian Territory
Increasing at Rate of 500
a Day,


1t has been estimated that the
population of Indian Territory is
growing at the rate of 500 people
a day. This apelsss 10 a period
covering the last six months.
Taking the last census figures,
3o2, 900 and comparing it with the
present estimated population OF
592 900, a growth of I35 persons
per day would be shown. Bat
this is not fair test, as the in
crease in population within the past
year has greater than in the three
preceding years combined. II
the territory continues to increase
in population during the next twp
years as il has in the past year
when statehood comes in 1906,
Indiari Territory will come in with
a population Of 957,ooo, Okla
homa will probably equal thls
and make the total population o.
the new state I,9I4,ooo. This will
be the largest population ever
claimed by any state at the time of
admission.
Taking .he census figures Of 1900
for a basis, the population Of Ind
ian Territory at that time was nine
times as large as Nevada, six times
that Of Alaska, four times that of
Wyoming, twice that Of Hawhii and
double that if Idaho, Deleware and
New Mexico, $4,000 more than
Montana, $4,000 more than Utah.
y, 900 more that North Dakota
The population of the territory has
increased at the lowest estimate
2oo, 900 since that time, while it is
not likely that in any Of the other
territories mentioned it has increas-
ed 25 per cent and in the states
mentioned not more than 10 per
cent since the census, SO that the
comparative figures, if they could be
had At this time, would be still
more in favor Of Indian Territy.-

.ADvNTAGE


A young woman in St. Louis
charged with larceny has just been
acquitted with the help of what
the Judge calls "a sickening hirta-
ton betweed Jurors andlthe defen-
dant. The prosecuting attorney
sarcastically thanked the jury for
the high order of citizenship dis
played in rendering verdict under
the influence of "a pretty woman S
winks and glimpse at bit of
openwork stocking"
The advocates Of women's S rights
must admit that in such cases as
this the downtrodden sex gains
some advantage from its oppres-
sion. If there had been women on
that jury the attractive defendant
would not have winked, and her
openwork stockings would certainly
have beenwith-held from publication
Probably She would have been con-
victed. On the other hand, no fe-
male jury would ever be heartless
enough to convictIa man accus-
toned to beating his wife. The
general opinion in the box would
be that it served her right, and the
jury would be likely to accompany
its verdict of acquittai with a
floral tribute.

TRIUMPHs OF MODERN SURGERY
Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped and
put back in place. or they may be
removed entirely;bone are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased
sections Of veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises
burns and like injuries before i'll
flammation sets in, which causes
them to heal without masuration
and in one-third the time required
by the old treatment. Chamber
lain's Pain Balm acts OH the same
principle. 1t ia all antiseptic and
when applied to such injuries,
causes them to heal very quickly.
1t also allays the pain and poreness.

Sibley, June 25.---The political situa-

Of a warm campaign. For the office OF
county recorder, Horace Lemon, OF
Sibley, has come out with an an
nouncement as candidate for the place.
Mr.. Lemon has been successful abb
stracter in Sibley for several years,
and his many warm friends. o. A.
Metz, a pioneer farmer of Allison
township, is also said to be seeking
the nomination and will make an ac-
tive canvass for 1t. 1t might be added
that Mr. Lemon has also commenced
an earnest canvass among the residents
of the county. Henry Hoffman, who
has been resident of Gowery town
ship for the past thirty years, will also
enter the race, it is said.
1t Is also understood that Joe Regain
is candidate for denomination. and
while he has made good official. the
fact that he has held the office three
terms will be much against his can
didacy now.
For the offices of clerk, auditor and
county attorney, 1t is understood that
the present incumbents will all seek
denomination again. and there will
likely develop other candidates for
each of the places, from the fact that
they are two and three termers.''
However, they have all been good Off

The Case Against Crystal Lake
Bark Dismissed In Federal
Court at Fort Dodge
GlLHERTsoN WAS INTERESTED
Case Was the outsrowth of T. S. cren-
shaw, at Ono Time a Prosperous
Business Man, of Council Bluffs,
Trying to Realize on the Funds Of the
Crystal Lake Bank.
Special to Times Republican.

Special to Times Republican
Fort Dodge, June 25.-The case of the
Omaha National Bank VS.. the Crysta
Lake Bank, which has been on trial ir
the federal court in this city, was dis
cussed on motion Of the plaintiff, after
all the evidence had been submitted
This action gives the plaintiff the right
to open the case on some other grounds
If they so desire, in the future. Al
present the case rests as a victory fol
the defendant.
Tho case was of special interest or
account of the fact that State Treasur-
err tfilbertson, who, with Farmer
Thompson. is the owner of the Crystal
Lake bank, is involved In 1t, and also
on account Of the circumstances lead
ing up to it.
1t is the outgrovsth of the attempt OF
one L. S. Crenshaw, at one time a pros
porous business man in Council Bluffs,
wanderer on the face OF the earth
whereabouts unknown, to realize on
the funds of the Crystal Lake Bank IN
an ,Inwarranted manner.
Crenshaw opened negotiations Tor the
purchase of the Crystal Lake Bank, ano
on lIeb. 8, 1902, a contract was made
out and signed On Feb. 4, CrenshaW
secured several bank certificates of de-
posi.. signed by the cashier OF the Crys-
tai Lake Bank, on the ground that ne
would interest his friends as depositors
and return the certificates properly
filed in. He filled out one OF these GER
ttficates for 5000 and gave 1t as col
lateral for a note of that amount held
bv the Omaha National Bank. he also
made a secret trip to Sioux CITY, where
he fried to work the same game, but
was unsuccessful. On returning to
CRYSTAL Lake he found letters inauirins
into the certificate Of deposit which he
had disposed OF In Omaha, and told the
cashier in Crystal Lake that he would
20 10 Council Bluffs and settle the mat
ter up. On returning. however, ne
found affairs in such shape that ne be-
came alarmed, deserted his business
ana bank account and decamped. He
has not been heard from since.
'rhe Omaha bank sued the Crystal
Lake bank for their $4,000 on the
ground that the Crystal Lake bank was
responsible, inasmuch as Crenshaw
had paid nothing to secure the certif-
cate of deposit which he had worked
on the Omaha institution. This was
the case which came to sudden close.
This action closed Judge Reeds first
term of court in Fort Dodge. A num-
bar of important cases have been filed,
and it is a remarkable fact that all OF
them have had to do with cases OF
fraud
