Chicago, May 5.-The drinking OF in
toxicants is decreasing among the mid
die classes of the whole world, and is

after a thirteen months trip abroad.

Unfriendliness OF Certain Element in

OF His Resignation.

Tuesday morning J. h Stewart the
democratic candidate for representa-
tive, rendered his resignation to ". s
Coleman, chairman OF the county cen
trail committee, and also signed up the
necessary blank, declining the nomi-
nation, with Wilson Peters, county
clerk
The reasons are obvious, and all in
terested probably know what they are
To state it plainly, IL is the unfriend-
illness OF a certain element recently
manifest toward him in matters more
important than those Of election to the
state legislature. If in matters para
mount they are not friendly, in mat
tiers OF less importance, they could not
be expected to loyalty support him as
a candidate 1t would be too much to
expect
The "ParsOn'' is a consistent and
straight-Out democrat from principle,
and will support Loyalty, with pen and
tongue, the principles and nominees Of
the party He has been a wheel
horse Of the democratic chariot for
years, and the people know how often
by counsel, advice and advocacy Of
the cause he has assisted in pulling
the party to substantial victory. New
corners may not know these things,
but the old guard do.

Team OF c. A. BrannOn Went Through

Perhaps the most remarkable run
away Of recent occurrence was that
which took place Sunday evening last

the buggy after returning home from
town at dark, with q team Of drivers
the lines were released for the DUR
pose One Of the animals moved a
step, then sprang forward, and in a jiffy
the team was gone like a flash of
lightning. The horses took the road
east from the house and ran without
leaving the road towards Goodland for
about three miles. Then not liking
the appearance Of going down a steep
hill, suddenly wheeled to the left and
crossed twO-wire fence, then ran
west two miles, going through two
tWO-Wire fences in the diStance-turn-
ed about and ran back to the fence
last crossed, going through the same
back; then the team ran south
through another wire fence to a deep
canyon, where they CT m b
and crossed gulches almost unbeliev-
able, and finally lodged in a wire
fence a mile to the east, and were to-
tally run down They were captured
by George Wray and John PARROT
who followed them with a lantern
from Mr.. PARROTS place. James
BlOdgett, hearing the team go by, had
'phOned Mr.. PARROT that a runaway
team was coming, and they were on
the lookout Mr. Wray and Mr.. Par
rOtt were almost as tagged as the
team, so vigorous and exciting was
the chase. It was almost midnight
when Mr. Palmer rode up to Mr.
BrannOn'S door and informed him
that the team had been caught and
put in his barn. The damage to the
buggy was comparatively slight, the
top and seat having been torn of,
which viii cost only two or three dol

Usefulness o. August g.
Old Timers Know Out OF What Tribu
latiOn It Has RIsen-Refresh-
ing History.

On Friday. August 81, The Repub-
lie viii be twenty years OF age. AT
one time there were six newspapers
in this county, and among them the
Sherman County Republican, owned
BY ". p. K Hedrick and managed by
Bayard Taylor, both gentlemen being
among the early settlers OF Sherman
county. The present owner acquired
the property in the summer Of 1888,
and some time after changed the
name to The GOOdland Republican.
It was conducted as a republican pa
per until some time in July, 1891,
when it espOused the peoples party
cause and the name was slightly al
tered to accord with its change Of Do
htical character to The GoodIand Re
public, which it has since borne and
probably will not change again.
It's name speaks Of its breadth OF
political view-the republic-"a gov
eminent Of the people, for the people
and by the people" Naturally en-
ough, when the peoples party decIin-
ed, and with perfect consistency it was
democratic. which means the rule Of
the people From this position it has
not swerved and does not propose to.
Its position is logical, safe and patri-
otic.
During the hard times, and the ex-
Odus OF many Of the early settlers, it
stayed with the remnant that remain
ed. All the other papers left the field
and It stood alone, hoping and believ-
ing In the future Of this country. 1t
cheered the respondent settler in his
''sOddy," always a welcome weekly
guest To accommodate itself to the
times the subscription price was cut
down from $50 to $1.OO a year, and
all delinquent subscribers were given
the benefit Of this reduction.
Residents Of the county were car
ried five, ten and even thirteen years
upon its rolls without a dun and with
out a cent Of payment. Anyone want
ing the paper could have it without
paying a cent in advance, and none
were cut of for nOn-payment. The
heart Of the editor often bled for the
settler, and he both realized and
shared in their hardships. The boys
had to stay out Of school to help run
