with authority and no man among us
has greater ability In that line.
We are for Mr.. Rawlings because
we believe he is the best man for the
place under existing circumstance s
and we are much Rratified to see the
drift of public sentiment his way.
The Oil men of the city to man
should be for him, and most Of them
are, because his interest Is theirs
The laboring men end mechanics OF
the town should he for Rawlings be-
cause he, II any man, can set things
to going and stir up industries that
will employ labor.
Mr.. Rawlings has been termed a
boomer, In derision, by those who
would see him defeated. Our judg-
ment is that the most needed thing
in Chanute right now is a tirst-cla1s
boomer, one who will never tire Ia
his efforts to get something going.
Ii you vote for Mr.. Rawlings you
are voting for greater and more ag-
gressive Chanute. One that will In
vite factories and see that they are
located. For city that will furnish
employment for the laboring man
that he may live among US IN his own
home.
Consider the matter carefully and
we'll and vote for the man who can do
you the most good.

STORM

The excessive wind of Monday
was followed in the afternoon and
night by heavy rain almost all over
the state and in portions by severe
hail and wind.
Lyon, Mcpherson, Marion and
other central counties were dam
aged by hail, while Eldorado suff
cred severely from small cyclone.
Three persons were severely hurt at
this place, a number of residences
blown down and many business
houses and residences badly dam
aged.
This part of the state received a
small patter of hail and a very de-
lightful rain. The ground is thor
oughly wet and all plants in fine
growing condition.

POPULATION

We give below the population oi
the city as shown by the assessors
returns. Great care was taken by
the enumerators to get everybody
listed and we believe the returns
are as nearly accurate as they could
be reasonably made. There has
has been loss during the year, n OF
of the real residents but of the spe-
culators boomers, laborers and
drillers IN the oil fields that have
been forced to leave on account of
the oppressive tactics of the Stan
dard company. The census was
taken last spring in the very boom
of development when the town was
full of drillers and helpers in the oil
field. The most of them were not
genuine citizens but were lawfully
enumerated. They are not here
now. In genuine permanent citi-
zenship, the city has gained during
the past year.
The enumerators of Chanute have
completed their work and the popu-
lation is as follows:
First ward 1901.
Second ward 1888.
Third ward 2,oo6.
Fourth ward 4,oI6.
lotal o,o7I.
There is failing of from last
years figures but there are more
homes in Chanute than ever before.
There are some vacant houses but
not more than enough to properly
regulate rents.

PIPE LINE

A number of the producers are
trying to get together on the pipe
line project to Kansas City. If
they can get line to Kansas City
and find steady market for. the
low grade oil that the Standard re-
fuses, it would be great benefit to
the field. We hope to see the plan
success and to see a refinery or
two established here to make a mar
ket for the higher grades.

President Roosevelt has asked for
the resignation of all the canal COM
missioners. He seems to have ideas
of his own on the construction of
this big ditch and wishes to see
them carried out. We guess that
Roosevelt will make big showing
on the work during his four years
of service.

OUR CANDIDATE

The city of Chanute ls now enjoying
the regular spring scrap over who
shall fill the various city offices the
coming term.
The salaries connected with these
various positions are not very attrac
tive, yet we have plenty of men ready
to take he various places. The con-
test for mayor seems to be attracting
more attention than any other place.
For that position three good men are
In the field, Rev. Gray, John Roe and
K. @. Rawlings. They were each nom-
mated by petition.
The city dailies are devotin9 con-
siderable space to their favorite can
didates. Personally we have long IA
vored party nom nations In this city
and du not like to be drawn into
these purely personal campaigns when
the chief campaign argument is per-
sonal abuse.
So far the cam paign has been con-
Quoted In an unusually clean manner
for campaign OF this kind and we
hope 1t will continue so.
With all due respect to the other
candidates and their enthusiastic
friends we must be allowed to state
that we think our dailies are governed
by friendship or personal interest in
their choice Of candidates. The ques.
tion that should be considered by the
voter at this election Is not, which
of these three candidates is my
warmest personal friend or which
will be a5le and willing to do the
most for me personally, but which
will be the better man for Chanute
under existing circumstances. Which
of these men has the greatest ability
towards pulling Us out Of the hole and
taking hand in Inducing factories
and industries to locate among us.
IL Is a conceded fact that our labor
field men are leaving by the score.
Thegreat question that now confronts
us is the absolute necessity of getting
In some enterprises that will put the
wheels of Industry ia motion and
set our men TO work.
Mr.. r. G. Rawlings is conceded to
be one Of the best takers we have In
the city. He Is now In touch with
many manufacturing interests and Is
constantly talking and working for
Chauuts. He Is a clean man and an
honest one. He has been In contact
with business men all his life and has
a wide acquaintance with capitalists
and mao uufacturers.
While we were still during the bad
weather of winter Mr., Rawlings was
talking, working and writing for
Chanuoe and the indications now are
that his efforts will soon bear abun-
dance of fruit. He is one Of the
most tireless workers we have ever
met. He is now devoting almost his
whole time TO efforts to land enter
prises here that will make US grow
beyond all expectations.
Why then should not the citizens
of this city endorse his efforts and
help hina do US all good, and place
him 10 position that would give him
more power and influence In his
earnest efforts In Our behalf.
This is a critical time for our city.
The Standard has given US black
eye and we need man at the hea d
that is aggressive and untiring.
Mr.. Rawlings was one Of the first
oil men In the field to advocate inde-
pendent refnerles and was always
outspoken and fearless In their advo-
caoy. II elscted Mayor he can act

ana prosperous farm. but Elisha would
never have admitted such n thing He
was always grumbling and groaning.
The corners of his mouth continually
hung down.
Il remember once there came ban
Ner year for the Ohio farmers. The
wheat crop had never been so fine and
good, and prices had never been so
nigh. Elsha's wheat surpassed all
others. and 1t was known that he had
marketed 1t skillfully. Nevertheless,

how he made out with Ii he whined:

Ethel uttered this aloud. though she
was alone, evidently with the idea that
merely hearing the words would per
haps. strengthen her waning resolution.
Poor child. Her head ached. and her
eyes looked quite pathetic with the heavy
circles round them: but she refused to
pity herself. and resoiutely plunged her
head into large basin Of water, rubbed
her hair half dry, and started for the
museum.
Though her head still ached good
deal. the copy made fair progress, and
there was no sign Of neglect or hurry In
the work, her t.robbing temples notwlth-

CHAPTER VII.

1t was the lovelest room the young
girl had ever seen. The walls were a
subdued stone green. the curtains and
general decora tions were of the same
color. artistically touched up here and
there with gold. There was a soft old
looking Persian rug that covered the
whole floor. except a few inches by the
walls. The floor of the windows were
bare, save for some exquisite specimens
of skins which Ethel did not even know
the names Each of these windows was
tastefully and luxuriously furnished.
There were two very fine paintings on
the walls. and the whole room was lit
tered most picturesquely with valuable
curios.tes brought home by Captain
Pelling
Ethel looked round her with a sense
of supreme delight. Mrs. Crichton mis-
took the look, and apologized for the
general untidiness of the room.
You see. miss. Captain Peling took
the house only three weeks ago. He
don't allow Martha or me to touch his
wonderful curiosities, so | am obliged
to put up with this dreadful state Of
things. You will find this couch more
comfortable for a rest than either Of
