Bowie, who has but recently gone
East after spending the summer here
with ler aunts, the Misses Friedlan-
der Miss Bowie was always greatly
in demand apart from her own charm
ing personality on account of her
beautiful voice, and there was but
little surprise felt a few years since
when she announced her intention of
going abroad to devote herself to the
study OF music Since then size has
made her home in Paris and has
worked with an avidity which brought
her to the verge of nervous eprostra-
ton a year or two since Her voice
has developed marvelously, however,
being now very high mezzo-soprano,
and it is said by those who have heard
her that she sings wonderfully well.
She is a pupil of Jean de Reszke and
has herself taught, preparing many
students for her master. She has stud
led all the roles and is said to have
great dramatic ability She intends
doing opera work and has gone from
here to New York, where she will
sing before some of the leading mana
gers with a view to securing an en-
gagement. She expects, however, to
return later in the year to Paris

Prefers Art to Society.

Mrs. c. o. Alexander sings very
we'll, her music being source OF the
greatest pleasure to her friends. Mrs.
E. w. McKinstry has always been
considered one of the leading musi-
eians among the society women of the
city until her recent illness, which has
prevented her active participation in
any affairs outside of her own home.
She sings charmingly and has great
musical knowledge as we'll, which has
caused her to be an authority on
such matters.
Mrs. Lillian Wolcott-Thomas of
Sausalito is talented pianist who
plays with great charm. Her young
est daughter, Miss Julia Thomas, who
is a sub-debutante, has decided to
forego the joys of society entirely and
to devote herself to musical career.
She has studied the violin for several
years and has displayed such marked
ability that Miss Kastron. the attrac-
tive California girl who has made for
herself so successful a career as pro-
fessional, has offered to take the tai
ented young girl East with her and
will give her lesson each day and
personally supervise her study and fu-
ture plans. Miss Thomas expects to
go later to Belgium, where she will
work under one of the best foreign
masters.
Mrs. Edward Lacey Brayton. who
was formerly Miss Claire Tucker. de-
voted much time during her girlhood
to the violin, but has of late years
turned her attention rather more to
singing.

and Jones streets.
Mrs. Lansing Kellogg and Miss
Helen de Young both play the harp
cleverly and Mrs. Alfred Hunter
Voorhies delights her friends with her
music on the same harp she has had
since her girlhood days. Miss Gene
We've Harvey, the stunning blond
maiden whose home is in Gait, is also
harpist and has done some remark
ably good work during the past win
ter, which she spent in Boston. She
played in several of the Boston sym
phonies, which is the greatest tribute
to her ability. She expects to go back
this winter to take up her study
again.

the musical folk in San Francisco and
maintaining always musical atmos-
phere in her home Mrs. Powers
sings and in addition plays the viola.
The Misses Powers both have very
high voices, very sweet, ,-and they sing
charmingly
Miss Helen de Young is by no
means the only musician in her fam
lily, each of her sisters being remark
ably talented. Miss Constance de
Young sings delightfully."- and plays the
violin as we'll, Miss. Kathleen is a
brilliant pianist, while little Miss
Phyllis. who will not be debutante
for several seasons yet, plays the
piano and will later take up the study
OF the harp.
Another talented family of sisters
who have accomplished much musi-
cally are the Hush sisters of Fruit
vale. Mrs. Wells, who was Jean
Hush, and Mrs Will Magee, who was
Harriet Hush, both play the violin
with an ability that is almost profes-
sional. Mrs. Thomas Magee Jr., who
was Estelle Hush, sings delightfully."-

this handsome quartet, Miss Florence

The Republican managers have
an ample fund for their kind of a
campaign. 1t is related on reliable
authority that they have thus far
received contributions from the
railroads, the book trust, the insur-
ance companies, the coal combine,
the breweries, the packing house
industries, the Standard oil COM
pany, the gas trust, the bucket
shops and other corporations too
numerous to mention. A large
slice of the Republican slush fund
will be used in an effort to carry
the house of representatives. Re-
publican candidates for the house
who accept financial aid from the
state managers will be under obi
cations to the Interests named
and will be expected to "vote right
if they get elected.

1t has long been the custom 81
Barber county VOTERS to concede 4
second term fo.faithful and descrvE
ant public servants. Why should
an exception be made in Repre-
sentative O. p. T. Ewelrs case?
Mr.. Ewell has given his entire time
during one session of the legisla-
ture to his constituents and he ha.
served them well. If he is reflect
ed he will have the benefit of his
first terms experience and will be
even better qualified to discharge
his duties than he was two years
ago. His personal integrity and
sincerity of purpose cannot be
doubted by his most rabid political
enemy. To not return him to the
legislature would be little less than
a public monstrosity.

Remember when you cast your
vote for county superintendent this
fall, that Frank B. Gordon, the
democratic candidate, is a Barber
county teacher. He has taught in
this county every year since enter
ing the profess ion. He might have
done like some others-gone to ad-
joining counties during some of
the years that the supply of teach
ers was short and commanded a
few more dollars per month, but he
was loyal to his home people.
Here is good opportunity for the
practical operation of reciprocity.

Governor Hoch says that no mat

cent. To which the Kansas City
Star replies: If the Governor in

the unspeakable contention that
official action can only be CRITICS
ed where it costs. somebody a cent,
he is still illogical. Perhaps he be-
lieveS that Kansas has no financial
interests in the affairs of the United

lation, reckoning our total number

The situation in the race for
county attorney this fall is pecu-
liar. Four parties have nominated
candidates for that Office and only
one is a lawyer. The other three
make no pretense of having had
any experience and have no
thought of even preparing to enter
the profession. w. H. Cloud OF
Kiowa, the democratic candidate,
is a regular practicing attorney
and holds a diploma from the CO.
lumbia Law University of St.Louis.
He is young in the practice but has
had several years of experience and
is clearly far the best qualified
candidate for the office offered by
any of the political parties this
year.

The Topeka State Journal which
is classed as Republican paper,
gives David Overmyer credit for
starting the anti-pass movement in
Kansas. In the special session of
the legislature of 1886 Mr.. Over
myer, as a member of the house,
offered an amendment to the house
pending railroad bill to prohibit
the use of the free passes. The
Republicans laughed at him, and
killed the amendment. But Mr..
Overmyer kept up the fight, and
now, after 90 years, the state
stands practically committed to an
anti-pass law.

The Medicine Lodge Cresset, the
recognized republican authority in
Barber county, takes position
squarely opposed to the anti-pass
law without lodging or hedging.
We see no reason why VIM. Ges-
ner, the republican candidate for
representative, should not be equal
ly frank. To say that he is in ia
vor of furnishing transportation to
stock shippers and stopping at that
leaving the question open as to
whether he favors granting the ia
vor to politicians, is to beg the
question. If Mr.. Gesner feels like
going with the faction of his party
now in control of the machinervanC
standing for the free pass system
that is his privilege, but why side
step around the proposition? Wha-
the people demand, now that he
has attempted to answer the fac
ton in his party opposed to the
pass system, is to say yes or no
There is no room for straddIers.

Senator Long of Kansas and
Candidate Hughes of New York,
both republican leaders in their re-
spective states, are squarely oppos-
ed to each other in their theories
of government. In bolstering up
the republican state ticket, and
finding no merit in the candidates,
Senator Long says: "This is goy-
eminent by parties, not by individ-
uals,' and urges the republicans of
Kansas to remain loyal to the re-
publican ticket regardless of the
personnel thereof or the influences
that control it. Mr.. Hughes, re-
publican candidate for governor Of
New York, says: "The Forthcoming
campaign is not to be one of re-
publican issues or of democratic
issues; it is to be one of decent
government" The democrats take
the same view of the Kansas cam
paign as Mr.. Hughes in Now Yorl
and it is to that view that Senator
Long objects. Have you noticed
whenever a ticket is weak and car
not be defended, the leaders alwav:
appeal to party prejudice?

The Republican supreme judges
who are running for reelection
lately joined in letter to the
Stubs square deal league, saying
that they favored the abolition OF
free passes. 1t is not related, how
ever, that they sent their passes
back. The Supreme Court judges
are great users of passes, and the
fact that they wear errnine does not
make them different from other Re-
publicans so far as passes are con-
cerned. A Republican just natur-
ally hates to give up his passes, and
SO far as is known, not single can
didate on the Republican state
ticket has surreaoer ID his free trans
portation. 1t will be remembered
that the Republican state conven-
ton turned down the antl-pass
plank. The Stubs league has
pushed the Democratic anti-pass
plank under several Republicans
for the Legislature, and that is the
extent Of the Republican anti-pass
move. If the Republicans who ran
the state convention obtain control
of the legislature, nobody expects
that there will be any anti-pass
legislation. There won't be any
anti-pass law, except by the aid Of
Democratic votes.

Outlying Towns Aroused by Animals
that Escape from Circus.

Three leopards from Ringing Brothers
circus menagerie have terrorized the resi-
dents of the towns of Necedah, Arkdale,
New Lisbon, Mansion. Cranberry Center,
Babcock and surrounding country for sew
eral days. The animals escaped from
their cage as the cages were beng loaded
on trains at Necedah. Posses from all
the towns, armed with Shotguns, rifles
and revolvers, have hunted the animals
for several days. Their first success came
the other night when one of the leopards
was shot in the barnyard of Peter X.
Stivers. three miles south of Neeedah, by
Henry Samson of Arkdale. The animal
had killed one COW and was erouching for
a spring at another. when discovered by
Samson Since their escape not a child
has been allowed outside the doors of the
homes and even the women are afraid to
90 out at night. Every house, barn and
shed in which the human race and the do
nestle animals are harbored has been
doubly locked and barricaded. Frank NJ.
Reid, town chairman of Necedah, received
word that three head of cattle had been
killed on the farm of James Williams,
north of the village Later reports were
received from Arkdale, New Lisbon and
Cranberry Center that the animals had
been seen prowling in the woods on the
outskirts of these places. The same night
DR. G. II. Parham, one of the Necedah
posse, sighted the leopards on Frank Hud-
sons farm and fired three shots, but miss
ed. The next morning Frank NJ. West
discovered that four of his cattle had
been killed. The last report received gave
the number of cattle killed as seventeen.
