The editor of the Independent used
what he thought was a new dodge for
political ends last week when he en-
tered into a lengthy and somewhat
painful article about the present cat
tie quarantine, and in his article
tried in very slim way to nail the
blame to DIR. Jones, which is as redic-
ulous as any charge can be, for the
doctor, although he runs good many
things at home, didn't pass the quar-
antine law, and in fact made special
trip to Topeka TO confer with the
Governor in behalf Of the cattlemen
of Trego county, SO in whatever way
the editor of Independent tries to
twist the question in making a voter
believe so ridiculous a statement it
can be refuted, and the only object
he has for springing this question is
to create political prejudice. Dr.
Jones is no more responsible for the
quarantine law than Mr.. Thompson
himself, and it shows that gentleman
will stoop to means that an honest
man would not.

OBITUARIES.

We are twice called upon this week
to chronicle the death of old time res
idents of the east part of the county.
Jacob Altman after ten days ill
typhoid fever. We were acquainted
with Mr.. Altman and learned of his
death with regret. He was a man of
excellent character, upright and hon
est in all of his dealings. He was
widely and favorably known in his
miss him from their midst. He
leaves a widow to whom we extend
our sincere sympathy, also to his bro
ther who resides near her.
Last Friday morning Mrs. Sam
Ridgway. of Ellis, died after a long
siege of typhoid fever
( Mrs. Ridgway was well known in
that part of the country, also being
quite well known here. She was a
woman of beautiful christian charac-
ter and died triumphant in her faith.
She was loved by all who knew her
and her death is deeply mourned by
very wide circle of friends. She
leaves little daughter, her husband
and other relatives to mourn her loss.
Sunday. the funeral services were
conducted from the large tabernacle
at Ridgway, by Rev. Gunckel of ELS
worth. The interment was at the
it has been many years since so large
a funeral has been held in that part of
the country. The WORLD extends
sympathy to the bereaved.
An order was made this week CIV
ing the printing of the ballots to the
World at the following rates per thou
sand: General ballots at legal rates,
which will be SI3 or $14, township bal
lots at S6,and amendment ballots SIS.
Folding and counting to be done
without additional charge. The In
dependent submitted the following
bid: General ballots 81, township 81,
amendment 5, and folding and count
ing so. The Independent bid was
based on what the work could be done
at Salina, the Independent not being
equipped for the work. The Worlds
S24 or S25, and the Independents price
S24 so. The World did not submit a
written d.-Independent.
True, we did not submit a written
bid. Two years ago, when the board
was democratic, they left the bidding
to be looked after by the county clefk,
and he ''gulled" us out of the job.
This year the commissioners attended
to the job themselves and we submit
ted our bid in their presence. Our
bid was: National, state and county
tickets S13 per Thousand; township
Sc; amendment 81; making total of
1928 per thousand. Why did not the
Independent tell it's readers the truth
about the price of the ballot printing?
The county clerk knew well, and as he
supplies the Independent with cam
paIgn thunder against the World,
why did he not tell his ''hireling" the
truth in this matter? A man who will
deliberately lie in little thing will
make mountains out of mole hill.
| Voters, look out for him.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 27.-The re:
port Of General zaroubaitf which was
given out tonight, furnishes the hrst
detailed account received here OF the bat
tlesof July gath, leading up to the evacua-
ton OF Ia Tche K ao, tho fruits OF which
are already apparent In tho Japanese oc-
cupation OF New Chwang. y.
General zaroubaiff says that the at
tack followed a Junction OF the armies OF
Generals Oku and Eodzu and that at
least two divisions, greatly superior IN
nunber OF guns, partic!pat ed In the as
sauit on the Russian position. which Was
held by only eighteen fbat talions over
front OF nine miles.
"a The determined nature OF the assault
and the def enee Is shown by the fact that
there was continuous fight OF fifteen
and one-half hours, during which the
Russians held all their positions and re-
tired next day only In face OF the Ad-
vance Of the whole OF the Japanese ar
mics, consisting Of over seven divisions.
The Russ Ian loss Is stima ted at TWEEN
~ officers and six hundred men and the
Japanese also estimated, as great ter than
ours" 3
This probably Is correct IN view Of the
fact that the Japanese occupied the at
tacking position.
Before the withdrawal Of the Russians,
the report says, they captured consider
able small arms and ammunition during
four successful bayonet charges, while
the batteries, which were excellently
served, q several times sllenced the Japa-
nese artillery at various points along the
fighting line. lit5 AS
