Opening of School.

The Lancaster schools will open
next Monday morning Sept. 3rd.
Everything promises a prosperous
years work.
The buildings have been put in
excellent condition. At the North
school, the walls have been cleaned,
calcimined and tinted in attractive
colors and new flush closet sys-
tenn installed. At the South school,
new maple floors have been laid,
and the High school room has been
painted.
New books for the library and addi-
tlonal apparatus for the High school
and the grades have been ordered.
These, in addition to the previous
excellent equipment, will put the
schools in first class condition.
Text books are rented to those
who wish them at a very low rental
or are sold at cost to those who
wish to purchase their own books.
In the first four grades, books are
furnished free.
Parents living out side the dis
trict will do we'll to consider whether
it will not be profitable for them to
pay the small tuition asked in the
grades and send their children to
the Lancaster schools. The addi-
tional opportunities will certainly
Justify the expense. Graduates of
the country schools are admitted to
the High school and their tuition is
paid by the towns in which they
live. If you have child that has
graduated from q country school,
send him along with his diploma
and we Will do the rest. You need
not put yourself to any additional
trouble. Students who have not
taken algebra will have no trouble
with us as we shall provide a
beginning class in this branch in
the High school for them.
AS the courses are now arranged,
country pupil will have no trouble
in getting the studies that he es,
pecially needs. The teachers Will
plan his course with him and every
thing can be satisfactorily ar
ranged.
Don't forget the date. Come to
school in Lancaster, Monday.

VOTE WITH Cal
Voters Cannot Split Tickets at {
Primary Election.

Voters should exercise great care
IN voting at the Urinary election
next Tuesday. The polls in cities
less than 5000 and in all villages
incorporated open at nine o'clock a.
M, and close at five o'clock D. M.
Ballots for the vote will be fur
nished at the polls the same as at
elections.
Voters can only express their
choice for the nominations of one
party.
Voters upon entering the primary
booths will be handed attached to-
gether ballots of all the parties hay
ing candidates for nomination. The
voter can only vote the ballot of one
party and cannot split the ballot,
voting for part of the candidates
OF one party and for a part of the
candidates Of another party.
Under the law to preserve the Sc
crecy Of the ballot, the voter de-
pOslts all of his ballots in the ballot
boxes, but he can only mark his pre-
ference on one of them and should
more than one of the ballots be
marked it nullifes the vote thus
cast IN the primary and renders it
illegal. The voter thus must mark
the ballot of the party for whose
candidates he desires to vote and
leave the ballots of the other parties
blank.
An attempt Of a voter to vote
split ballots will nullify his votes.
Thus voter cannot vote for
candidate for county clerk on the
Democratic ticket and a candidate
for register of deeds on the Republi-
can ticket. He can only vote the
ticket and the party to which lie
belongs.
All the voters in Grant county
should participate in the primaries,
as party nomination should be Just
as much the choice of the members
of the respective parties as the cleo
tions are in that respect.
Attempt of voters outside a party
to make the nominations for a party
to which they do not belong and
are not bound to vote for, and have
no intention Of voting for at the
election, is in effect an effort to de-
feat the real and true purpose of a
primary election law--that Is, to
give the rank and file of a party OPP
portunity TO choose its own nomi-
nees, unfettered by manipulation Of
any kind from forces that have III
terror purposes to accomplish in the
production of nominations.

Tuesday next is primary cleo
ton day. Then this cruel war for
nomination will be over and the
candidates can settle down to two
months of work fighting each other.
John Kelley of Potosi was ar

Abundant Crops.

This year promises now to be a
record breaker in field products.
Last years yield Of corn was con-
sidered phenomenal, but this years,
providing no calamity befalls it,
will far exceed it. Wheat and oats
have kept step in the forward march
to make the heart Of the farmer
glad and all people thankful to that
Providence without whose tavoring
smile nothing Of earth's bountles
prospers. The farmer of the grain
growing sections rejoices in the
prospect of good return for his
toll and a fair demand for the
fruits of it, While he finds so
much cause for rejoicing, the cotton
grower Of the south land is jubilant,
too, oyer the promise of a large
crop. Corn has displaced cotton as
King" but the latter has an i'm
portant place still in the field pro
ducts of this country, and is of
more Importance as a factor in the
prosperity of the south now than
when it was king. The world de-
mand for the raw material is
greater; the consumption of its
manufactured products far in excess
of years gone by, by reason of i'm
proved methods in its manufacture
and better results economically and
in quality of finished goods. The
cotton grower has the world as a
market for his raw staple, as well
as its manufactured articles.
He has the home market, too, a
munifcent gift Of the republican
tariff principle of protection, and a
home market which means the
supply in great part of the needs
OF over IS, 900,00 of people able to
purchase literally and pay well for
their purchase. It required no
more than ordinary intelligence for
the cotton grower OF the south to
comprehend what a good home
market, such as this country affords
him, means. It's benefits to him in
dividually he can easily appreciate.
While he is heartily in favor of the
open door in China and other ma
tions of the orient, and approves
fully the efforts now being inaugur-
ated by the government to open
wider the doors Of the Central and
South American countries to his
cotton and its converted goods, he
has sense enough to understand
that "a bird IN the hand IS worth
two in the bush" and that a good
market at his own door step in a
natural way is far and away better
than the most delightfully."- tinted
hopes that can be imagined for a
long distance prospect.

Evil of Too MANY Churches.

America has too many churches
Towns which might be well admins
tered spiritually by one clergyman or
two have six, eight or ten. No one of
the six or more congregations can
pay for a good preacher. Few of
them can pay all the cost of any
preacher, however poor. Nor can any
enc of them pay for all the time of
their spiritual leader. So only very
young men are to be had aud the de-
mands upon their time cover so wide
a territory that preaching must be al
most their exclusive occupation and
pastoral duties be almost entirely dis
regarded. One OF the clergymen OBJ.
serves tersely and Justly: NO bust
ness could flourish by that method
