BENNY can swallow Flentge, Re-
publican candidate for Railway
Commissioner, without a grimace F.;
can work lovingly cheek by jowl
with Niedringhaus, Chairman of
the Republican State Committee,
notwithstanding that patriot was
shown to have worn falsely in the
matter of political assessments two
years ago; but how he hates the
Democratic wrong-doing conjured
up from his own vitiated imagin-
alton! He's a bird of are plum

THE REGISTERS report of what
Mr.. Elmer said in regard to "good
roads, was correct. Not only was
its report correct, but his statement
was true. Iron county's roads are
as good as are those of her sister
counties, and better than some of
them. Aside from this, however,
consider the ''gall" of the gang
advocating the election of a can
didate for Presiding Judge of the
County Court who is beyond the
woodworking age and whose name
is not even on the assessment or
tax-list, and then mounting about
the revenue not being properly
applied!

1T is still true that ''the leopard
cannot change his spots, nor the
Ethiopian his skim" The last
time the Republicans were in
power in Missouri, just after the
Civil War, their State officials
burned the official records of their
misdeeds. Now that they are in
again they begin right where they
left of. Secretary of State Swang-
er has been ''caught with the
goods"-caught suppressing the
record of the Niedringhaus brew
ery-boodle investigation. There
is but one plea that can be made
in his defense ~ that of strong
temptation, for the matter was a
body blow to his party.

18th, in honor of her nth birthday.
AT an early hour the guests arrived
and were ushered by the kind
hostess into the parlor, where they
were received with a cordial well
come IN every hand. The accord
ion played forth the sweet Carol
"Home, Sweet Home" as an OPEN
ing of the revelry. After which
many choice games were played,
and all shared amply in their
pleasure. At ten o'clock two ex-
cellent cakes were brought into
the drawing room and offered as
a prize; one for the best looking
young lady, and one for the most
homely gentleman present. The
contest soon closed, and it was
announced that Miss Nellie Nc
Cabe was the successful lady and
Will Edmonds the gentleman. The
evening passed very pleasantly, SO
swiftly had the hours passed that
they seemed as moments, and at
the hour of retiring all were loath
to leave. We owe many thanks
to Miss Emma for our share in the
evenings pleasure. CINDA.

Captured the Ghost.

Ora Blackburn of GrainfeId, has
been sick in bed for a number of
weeks past. Blackburn's wife has
also been confined to the house.
Two or three nights out of each
week a white robed figure has APP
peared at the window and beckoned
them to come outside. Several
shots have been exchanged with
the supposed ghost and the bullets
used in each case were very ma
terial bullets. Excitement doubt
less caused poor craftsmanship and
the ghost grew more annoying.
One night last week a change of
tactics was pursued and an armed
hOrseman concealed himself in the
shrubbery. The ghost appeared.
The horseman swept down upon
the apparation and nailed it. The
ghost proved to be one of Black
burns neighbors with whom he
had had trouble and who took on
this ghostly appearance to intim-
idate him.

A KAEslE IN New YoRK.
Dr.. Raffington Writes an interesting
Letter on His Observations.

From a letter received from
DR.. Rafington we take the fol-
lowing: There are about 1000
dentists here in New York city.
and within a radius of 90 miles
there are 800 more. lam board
ing in Rutherford, N. j., FIVE and
half miles from the city. Car fare
including, ferry, $500 per month.
This is beautiful city Of about
$4,000 people, gas, electric lights,
water, paved streets, and above all
fine native trees, oak, chestnut, etc.
1t is on a high ridge overlooking
HackenSack meadows on one side
and the Pasaic river on the other.
l think this is where | will buy
my home. More than 5000 of
the peODle living here do business
in New York, and go back and
forth every day on the Erie Ry.
The Erie people claim that they
haul about 25,0 900 commuters daily
to and from New York. Their
ferries seat from 800 to 1000
people, and as the people work
like clock work there is no crowd
ing, a boat will unload a 1000
people on the New York side, and
in five minutes they are swallow
ed up and you wonder what has
become of them, and ten minutes
latter the dose is repeated. The
subway carries half a million peo-
pie daily, and the surface and
elevated cars twice as many more.
Block a street for five minutes or
let an accident occur and have
from 1000 to 10000 people in a
jam, depending on the locality. A
man must see it through to realize
it, or form any idea of the streets
of New York" Speaking of Cen

clothes, pug dogs, and no brains.
He did nos say what kind of men
you saw, but they must all look
alike to the average Kansas man.

Young Society Woman Found Murdered
For Her Money.

Chicago, Ills, Jan. 13.-The
body of Mrs. Bessie HOLSTER, q
choir singer and prominent in
society, who has been missing for
the past twelve hours, was found
today in the rear of q carpenter
shop near her norh side home.
A copper wire was found wound
around her neck either used to
strangle her or to drag the body
to the place where it was found.
Her husband is a pratner in a
printing firm.
The woman was well supplied
with money yesterday when she
was last seen at a florists ordering
flowers for a friends funeral.
Robbery is supposed to be the
motive of the crime.
Later-Richard Wins, who told
the police where the body was,
has made a confession to the po-
lice. He says he siezed Mrs.
HOLSTER yesterday evening, as
she passed the carpenter shop.
He attempted to abuse her,
when her outcries were so loud he
strangled her.

BIGELOW ON THE

New York, Jan. 13.-Poultney
Bigelow. for whose presence be-
fore the Senate committee in in
ter oceanic canals a subpoena was
: issued yesterday, has a signed
letter on Panama in today's
New York Times. The com.
municatio: in part follows:
My own purpose in going to
Panama was to look at the condi-
tions under which the negro
abOrers were compelled to live.
My charges against our admin
istration are those which any in
dependent observer would have
made under analogous conditions
land with analogous appearance Of
the negro in tropical countries.
These charges Mr.. Taft does not
meet.
! have made several broad
charges, and | authorize the trus-
tees of the Boston University to
withhold my salary for the CON-
ing year if these charges are not
Substantially true.
To determine this question, it is
absurd to call in as witnesses men
who have political axes to grind.
l am willing to abide by the brief
yes or no of any one with respect
able standing among average mer
of clean business record. 1t will
cost no more to send such a mar
to Panama than to print pamphlets
denouncing those who criticiSe the
canal commission.
Colon today is mainly a swamp,
into which is dumped all the
human execrement of the negro
population, and where this popu.
lation is compelled to sleep.
There is no water at Colon save
the swamp water and what can be
collected by the dripping from the
roofs of the shanties. The sanitary
inspection of Colon is a shame.
The negroes are leaving in large
numbers, by reason of Legitimate
grievance which is a matter OF
common knowledge.
Mr.. Taft can hire hundreds Of
politicians to call me offensive
names, but until he procures re.
spectacle engineer Or man of.busi.
ness to indorse the present state
of administration on the cana
zone. no amount of government
printing will afford him any real
comfort.

position.
