Webb McNall has so far recovered
his usual good health to resume his
law business. Next we hear of him
he will be getting into politics, and
he is "all wool and a yard wide" in
that business.
The situation in the Thirty-third
senatorial district, which is Jewell and
mitchell counties, is about at a stand
still. 1t is Jewell county's turn pro-
yIded the present incumbent, I. d.
Young, doesn't want a second term. 1t
is ABOUT time the people should know
whether DR.. A. B. Peters or Hays B.
White will stand for nomination. They
problem as cat does a mouse. They
want 1t, but the question is whether
both will ask for it. If there should
happen to be scrap over the matter,
why can't the Mitchell county Demo-
Gratis get together on D. A. Freeman,
or A. T. Roders, or c.. B. Lowrey, or
u. c. Rodgers, and win the fight over
the Republicans?

is entitled 10 the thanks of everybody.
His district has been getting good re-
suits from the several religious REVEALS
held in the district recently. In his own
town of Smith Center there were over

ell City, and about 400 in Cawker City.
A big revival has been in progress in
Glen Elder, with happy results Os-
borne county will come in for her great
revival meetings in 1908, after election
is over. This means lighter business in
Judge Pickler's court.

and get into the race for member of
the legislature from Rocks county.
"Scotty' Muir is one of the every day,

In five of Congressman Reeder's best
towns the postoffices are in the hands
of women. These towns are: Formosa,
Jewell county, Lebanon, Smith con 1ty;
Almena, Norton county; Wilson, Els
worth county, and Oakley, Logan coun-
