ed hope. 1t is presumed that
The Capital speaks with author
ity and that really and truly, the
republican state convention will
not endorse grating and cor
ruption.
In a few more years the party
managers may acquire enough
wisdom and foresight, not only
to refuse to endorse corruption,
but also to actually frown on it
and declare that it is ungent1e-
manly and reprehensi BILE. By
and by would come the nextstep:
that of enforcing thelaws defining
petty larceny, bribery and bood-
ling and then year by year there
would be steady improvement
and with the dawn of the mHlen-
ium would come, even unto the
republican party in Kansas, the
realization that it had sinned and
that it was time to turn over a
new leaf.
This little foweret of honesty
should be cherished and nursed.
Let the Wichita convention be
careful not to forget that the acts
of the last legislature should not
be endorsed or condoned; let it
even go to the extent, if it will,
to reafirm that old plank in the
republican state platform con-
corning honesty and economy
that old plank, don't you know,
that used to be in a conspicuous
place and that has become rot
ton and worm eaten?
And how is all this to be &C
complished? By the nomination
of "such a man as Hoch for
governor" says The Capital.
To be sure, Hoch-where have
we heard that name before!
Wasn't it in connection with one
J. Ralph Burton, United States
senator CD from Kansas!
Isn't Hoch managed by Stubs
of Lawrence, business associate
of Burton in a concession at the
St. Louis Fair? Isn't Hoch the
man who insists on the renomi-
nation of State Treasurer Kelly
convicted of EN- bezzlement in his
home county of Miami? Hoch
yes that's the name. Hoch and
honesty in politics; Burton and
honesty in politics; Kelly and
honesty. Lor' save us! as Uncle
Remus would say.-Wichita
Beacon.

The friends of universal SUI
frage in Gray county will have a
chance next Saturday to even up
the score with Tom Noftzger for
his fight in the senate against
female suffrage, by seeing that
the delegates from this county
are instructed to vote against
him for a denomination. There
is another matter in which he
should be held to account by the
old soldiers and their friends,
and that is among the items in
the appropriations for the Sol
dier's Home at Fort Dodge was
$500 for the employment of a
chaplain for the home, but
Noftzger had it cut out. The
primaries and county conven-
tons are the proper places to
deal with the fellows who are
recreants to duty-Gray County
Times.
Mr.. Noftzger is quite hot air
merchant, and we think we can
fix his clock next Novem Der.

LaGrippe seems to have quite a
hold in this vicinity.
Still the weather continues cool
and dry on the edges.
A continuation of the weather as
it was to day will start spring flowers
soon.
We have had little wind, but no
more than we might expect at this
time of the year.
Mrs. John Randolph Sr., is very
sick with erysipelas. The last re-
port she was slightly better.
Owing to the measles, Ira Bebout
is still with US acting as nurse and
chief cook at ]. S. Wymer's.
Rev. Bisbee will probably deliver
his last sermon to US Sunday,
March the 9th. Come everyone.
A number of the 7. o. o. F.
Brothers went to Beaver last week to

The supper at the NJ. E. Church
has been postponed until some fu-
ture date on account of so much

Ross Sutton was down and took
the BENEFICIARY degree in the M. W.
A. Lodge Saturday night. The

1 believe the wheat is all o. k. in
this part so far and will stand
several weeks of such weather as we
have been having without serious
damage.
Sickness! well 1 guess we have
our share of it up. this way, only
one family in the city who have not
from one to half a dozen sick in
mates. A majority of the sick are
blessed with the mumps and meas
les combined. Not a very desir-
able mix.
From some unknown cause we
have failed to appear for several
weeks. This is the third time and
certainly will be the charm. We
have been at our post and as reg
gular as in the past and tried to
brake forth little more newsy
but lost out entirely.
Mr.. Newton is getting along quite
with his new hotel consider
ing the weather, so it will not be
long until the burg will afford a first

contain eight rooms. In times past

The Death Penalty.

A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus mere scratch, in
significant cuts or puny boils have
paid the death penalty. 1t is wise
to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever
handy. It's the best salve on earth
and will prevent fatality, when burns
sores, ulcers and piles threaten.

SHAPING FOWLS FOR MARKET.

While the main consideration 10 the
consumer IL tha the fowl should be
reasonably plump and properly picked, the
large city merchants demand certain
things in the way OF packing which the
poultry raiser must carry out If he would
be successful in such markets. One of the
things is that the fowls be shaped be-
fore they are packed, and while this pro-
cess makes a form that is not particularly
pleasing, 1t Is, perhaps. better than the
m~isshapen fowls which would result IL
they were placed IN boxes or barrels with
cut any plan OF packing. To make a
shaper, first build a frame and then in
this frame construct. two troughs, each 10
feet long. These troughs are constructed
by mailing together TWO boards, q Of an

Chinese Goina.

In fifty years-perhaps less than fifty,
IL the present Jaws remain I'm effect and
are rigidly executed-the Chinese pop
ulation OF the United States will be-
come practically extinct, according %
the views of w. s. Harwood in the De
cember Worlds Work. From 1890 10 1906
they fell away from 126. 71S to f19.050. a
decrease Of nearly 5000. or more than
s per cent. In the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1908. more than 1900 voluntar-
lily left the port of San Francisco for
the land OF their birth. the total leport-
ed and returning voluntarily being
5000.
A generation ago there we're in San
Francisco from 10000 10 10000 China
men. The Chinese consul general there
told me that. counting men. women and
children, there are now not 10000.
The total number of Chinese now In
the United States includes rs, 1877 in
Hawaii and 3.116 In Alaska. so that at
the beginning of this decenniaI period
there were living In the United States
proper only $4,000. A generation ago
there were al least $50. 900.
The main adult population is male,
IS unmarried, or al least wifeless in
America, and Is rapidly approaching
old age. Thus BIZ 1880 or 1910 the main
Chinese life IN America win he extinct.
