fty. And now at the end of all these
years, as we get ready to leave the old
town for awhile, we feel a strange
sensation creeping around our heart
and Juggling at the tendrils there, while
something, on the inside, seems to be
fumbling about the throat We are go
ing away to ENJOY what the world
calls honors, but we never expect to be
happier any where on this earth than
we have been in Marion. No other peo-
/ pie can be kinder to us than these peo-
I pie have been, and no other people can
/ ever crowd them out of our heart NO
nonor can equal the honors OF their
friendship and no palatial residence,
however gorgeously fashioned or suInp-
tuously maintained" can. ever be a
nome to US equal to our home on the
hill in Marion
Before going away we want to pour
out our heart to this people, and to try
to tell them how we appreciate the
kindness they have heaped upon US
during all these years of struggle. we
are going away but not for good" We
want this people to understand that
we do not intend to sever our relations
with them, except partially and tenn
porarily. We shall keep our property
here, with the kind permission of the
sheriff, of course;) we shall come
home" to share in the elective duties
of citizenship; our name will remain
ord. and we shall contribute editorial
stuff to its columns and such thoughts
we've been thinking as may be 2p-
propriate to print. Some one will
have charge of things in the office And
when 1t is all over we expect to return
to Marion and spend the remainder of
our days here.

At the attorney generals office to-
day the advertisement was drawn up
for the auction sale of the Peabody
silk station, which will take place
some time between now and March.

time by the state, and then turned

The Emporia Gazette takes this view
of the race for the position of secretary
of the senate:

this town will be glad to know that
he has been assured of the secretary
ship of the Senate by the powers that
be. His more intimate friends in town
laid down on Dave Mulvane the new
Cy of the new crowd, and that there
has been an understanding that when
the other boss buster candidates for the
job have been given satisfactory COM
plimentary vote the plum viii go
to kretsinger. Mr.. Kretsinger has been
a leader in the reform ranks and is
certainly typical of the movement. 1t
is fitting and proper that he should
be rewarded. It was entirely in keep
ing with the situation that Mr.. Null
vane should say the word
DR.. Geo. Hageman, pastor of the Pres
byterian church at Washington, Kas..
arrived in Topeka, and will be can
didate for chaplain Of the Senate. DR..
Hageman founded the Presbyterian
church at Washington, and has served
his entire pastoral life there. So far
he has no opposition for the position.
DR.. J. F. Huckleberry, pastor Of the
Baptist church at Washington. is here
to help DR.. Hageman in his campaign,
and to preach Sunday at the North To-
peka Baptist church
