The Democrats at Valley Falls last
Friday nominated Judge ". D. Webb
OF Atcaison candidate for congress
against Congressman Curtis. He will
run as an Independent tariff reform.
anti-monopoly Republican Judge Webb
Is an old time Republican and stands
nigh in the estimation Of all who know
him. He has been district judge. in
which position he had the confidence and
respect of lawyers and clients. He was
always a warm friend and earnest sup
porter of Judge Broderick while the lat
ter was in congress-. If Judge Webb
should be elected, the first district would
be represented by a man. honest in his
convictions and fair ard clean il his po-
liticaI methods. In such event President
Roosevelt would have a man in congress
from this district who would sincerely
and ably stand by and defend his reform
measures against trusts and monepolies.
If the people of this district are really
in favor Of good government free from
monopolistic Interference and control,
this nomination gives them the chance
to Demonstrate It by voting for Judge
NWebb.-Holton Recorder

hol interests this: That it will af-
ford a cheaper and more reliable pow
er than electricity for the propulsion
of street cars, doing away with all
necessity for poles and wires with
their dangerous currents; putting
stop to the electrolysis of water mains;
enabling each car to be run inde-
pendently, and so avoiding the vexa-
ton of a general tie up whenever any
thing goes wrong at the central station.
Just as the gasoline motor is crowding
the locomotive with its train Off of
many short lines of railroad, so. it is
expected, will the little alcohol engine

Grating their canal. It is expected that
the actual construction work on the
dam will commence the first Of the year.

Mr.. Harrison S. Colburn, lately edu-

woke up one morning with a brignt
idea. why he asked himself can

system right here in New YORK, tne
greatest business center in America
He sought the advice Of leading busl-
ness economists and experts and the
heads of great manufacturing plants N
New York and other cities. Iney an
urged the forming Of a class IN pusi-

unique enrolment of 40 members,
whose average age was 80 years. There
were six presidents OF companies, one
vice president, six members or nrns'
two superintendentS, seven managers,
and a miscellaneous list, including an
insurance agent, a lawyer, business
systematizer, a chemist, statistlclan'
a bookkeeper and clerk. THESE men
represented 80 different and W1ueiy ulS-
similar lines of business. a fact which
goes to show the wide applicability OF
the course. The lecturers were success
full business men and noted specialists.
The course of study was most practical
and Instructive As now developed It
embraces q lectures, under the heads
of executive problems and modern office
methods In executive problems the
aim is to show how to make a nom

to apply to any business some metnod

in modern Office methods, intended to
make Office men more efficient, with the
consequent advancement which that i'm

E@A@ HE proportion of divorces to marriages and remarriages in

The last mentioned is as important as
any. No good reason can be given
