William A. SsxsOn, For Commissioner

William A. SexsOn, For Commissioner.
William A. Sexson, who was nomina-
ted by the peoples party and demo-
cratic voters of the Third district as
their candidate for commissioner, is a
native of Illinois, coming here from
Windsor, Shelby county. He located
on a homestead in Grant township in
March, 1886, and resides upon the same
quater section at the present time.
He has remained here through all the
discouragements, and the trying times
of dry seasons, and now has a section
of land, with good improvements, and
well stocked with horses and cattle
These facts alone show his stability of
character, his enterprise, his industry,
and his success as a farmer, all ofwhich
should make him a strong candidate to
represent the Third district on the board
of county commissioners. Having man
aged his own affairs well, proves his
/ qualifications to manage those of Sher-
man county. There are others, oil

The Kansas wesleyan Telescope.

The telescope at the Kansas Wesleyan
university, one Of the largest instru-
ments Of its kind in Kansas, is doing
service for the student body and also
for Salina people. Admission to the
observatory is regulated by ticket, and
the observations are conducted by Prof.
HOyt, Of the science department. When
this powerful telescope is turned upon
the moon, the craters Ofextinct volcanoes
loom up with wonderful plainness, and
our celestial satellite, which is 24O, 600
miles away, is drawn so close that one
feels like signaling or calling out to
the man in the moon" as he goes
flying around the word. This one in
strument affords unusual opportunity to
the students at the Wesleyan.

The New Preacher.

The new pastor of the Methodist
church in lieu of Rev. Muse, resigned,
is the Rev. H. ". Hampton, of Colby.
Sunday was his second week here, and
his church membership have already
come to like him. Mr.. Hampton has a
good spirit in him; he has led a clean
life from his youth uP-his face and
conversation show it-and he is not
old, but young. He is of the modern,
better type; doesn't wear the WORKOUT,
sorrowful-loOking Prince Albert, but the
business-like sack coat. His words are
like his apparel, up-to-date yet Chris
tan. His thoughts are current and are
accepted as new minted coins and nc
old three cent pieces and copper curios.
It isn't likely that he viii ever starve
his hearers with theological disquisi-
tons, a symptom of spiritual vacancy
worse than cobwebs.

". c. 7. U. STATE CONVENTION
Ms. Eva Murphy One Of the Nine Del
egltes to National Convention.

Mrs. Eva Murphy One Of the Nine Del
eEltes to National Convention.
The state convention Of the Woman's
Christian Temperance union was held
at Wichita last week, and among the
important questions for consideration
was the offer Of Mrs. Carrie Nation to
give the union a Topeka property for
the purpose of founding a training
school for girls in temperance work.
The acceptance was deferred for one
year, because the union did not wish to
take the property upon one Of the terms
Proposed-that the W. c. T. U. treat
the temperance cause as a party issue;
or, in other words, become political ad-
junct to that party that should promise
cooperation in the temperance cause.
Since the ". G. T. U. is a non-Parti-
san organization, the action taken was,
perhaps, best suited to let Mrs. Nation
down as easy as possible and yet to re-
tain their well-tried principle of non
Partisanship. Mrs. Eva Murphy sec
Onded the motion to defer, which was
carried with only one dissenting vote.
Of the nine delegates elected by the
convention to attend the national tenn
perance convention at Philadelphia in
November, Mrs. Murphy, who is Presi-
dent Of the Sixth district organization,
was chosen as one.
Mrs. Nation was in Wichita and Wis
tied the convention. She also visited
saloon with rocks from her handbag.
She smashed some valuable plate glass,
was arrested and again is Ianguishing
in the SedwicB county bastile.
Democratic Central Committee Meeting.
The county central committee of the
peoples and democratic party met at
the court house in Goodland Saturday
at 1:3O o'clock p. m, to consider mat
tiers of interest. ]. ". Tibbels, candi-
date for representative, was present and
the subject of his withdrawal from the
ticket was discussed. Mr.. Tibbels, not
having fled his Withdrawal with the
county clerk, and having recOnsidered
the matter, intimated his willingness to
make the race. The committee con-
CURED and he remains on the ticket as
the party's fully accredited candidate.
Some misunderstanding had arisen,
but these have been explained, Mr. lib
bels, himself, saying that he exhonor-
ates everyone, but himself, from blame
in the matter, as it was his own mis-
take.
