THE GANG.

1t seems strange that it should be
deemed necessary for the dominant
party in a county like Neosho to
have a little band Of political hxsrs
at the county seat who prsarrangs
the politics of the county and ofins
out such candidates for otice as
they may dictate. Madam rum0F
however, has it that we have JUST
such a ring at our county seat who
make it their business to shape the
political affairs of the county, and
always with an eye to their own sci
fish interests. First the gang Sc
lects the place or places it most
wishes to control and then divides
the remainder of the spoil up'among
its own henchmeu in the various
localities in such a manner as to
best give strength to their chosen
ones, Circumstances seem to lRai-
cate that such Is the fact. Stranger
still is the fact that Chanute poss-
eases a few would be political bosses
who think their bread asd butter
depend on the favor of the Erie
ring, (and we guess it does SO far as
political favors are concernsd.)
They are very subservient and
ever ready to do their part toward
carrying out the DEGREES of the
bosses and in opposing such local
candidates as may be under the
ban of the ring, advise bringing out
such candidates as may be relied
on to work in harmony with the
gang. We have case in Chanute
right now that is enough to con-
damn the local henchmen and send
them to ultimely political graves,
were their parts in the past to de-
feat the will of the people OF this
locality fully known. We refer to
their efforts to foist upon the Re
publican party of this Commissioner
District a candidate for commits
sioner.
When it became known here that
Mr.. Swi,zer would not be candi-
d,te for reelection the Republicans
OF this locality Immediately began
TO cast about for a suitable candi'
date for the place.
Public opinion soon crystalized
on Dave Houston as very suitable
man.
Dave is almost life long citizen

this locality. A farmer, and a
man of sterling worth and unim-
peachable integrety. A man OF
years experience in public affairs.
A successful man and man OF rare
good business judgment, conserva-
tive and careful in his own business
as we'll as all public affairs with
which he has had to deal.
1t was thought that when a man
like Dave Houston had consented
to be candidate for commissioner,
man so preeminently fitted for the
place and a man of his standing in
the community that there would be
no opposition to his nomination.
and there should not have beer.
But wnen the news reached the
headquarters of the gang that Dave
Houston, that synonym of honesty,
was an announced candidate, things
began to hum and the word was
soon sent cut to the hen chmea OF
Chanute that Dsvy would not bs
satisfactory to the gang.
Dave was not made Of that pliable
stuff that suited their purpose. The
henchmen of Chanute salaamed
and Immediately got busy. A
phone message was sent to the
henchman at Thayer to have Dawes
petition held up there till man
satisfactory to the gang could be
secured. Soon they had a lamb
ready for the sacrifice.
Walter Glover, a respectable
young man of this city, allowed
himself to be used by the henchmen
in the interest of the gang, and
forthwith announced himself as q
candidate for the place. We art
sorry that young Clover allowed
himself 70 be hoodwinked by this
crowd and hope that he may yet
see that he has made mistake.
As it stands now it is up to the
Republicans of this district to nomi-
nate the man selected by the gang
to represent Its interest, or nominate
man devoted to the interests OF
the district and not hampered by
any ring influence.
With the gang it is individua
interests first, then Erie.
If Erie influence can but name
J, the commissioner from this district
which she is trying to do through
the gang, the little burg on th'
Neosho will have two representa-
tiyes ON the board and we will hav,
none.

TOPEKA SPECIAL

All of North Topeka was under
water Tuesday morning but the
Kaw river is falling rapidly new
and it is expected that almost all of
the water will be out of the streets
by Thursday night at the latest.
Practically the entire town has been
deserted since Sunday afternoon.
North Topeka has population of
from six to eight thousand people
and every one If these were driven
from their homes.
1t was not expected that the food
would be very serious this year as
dikes had been built along the river
and along Soldier creek which runs
along the north edge of North
Topeka. Sunday evening the back
water broke through tke Soldier
crsek dixie and flooded the north
part of North Topeka. Monday
mornisg the dikes along the iiyer
were overhowed and washed away
By noon the water had undermined
the Union Pacific railroad tracks
and the water was pouring through
the grade in a stream three hundred
feet wide and from three to eight
feet deep. The water had cur
rent like that of mill race.
The Union Pacific depot is three
oloeks from the river but by Mon
day noon the water was standing on
the floor. Three blocks farther
north there was a current that men
could not pole boat against and in
front Of the fire station the water
was running into buggy which car
ried reporter. Two blocks north
of the fire station the water was FIVE
feet deep and In the streets was rua
ming with very strong current.
Every house except those built
on tarraces were flooded. In little
Russia east of Topeka the water
stood up to the middle of the wi;
dows OF the houses. In the lower
sections where the negroes lived thc
water was SO high only the tops O
the windows were visible,
Everyone had sufficient warning
Of the high water to get their house
hold goods moved to the south side
The Auditorium and court hous
were used as store rooms by tn,
refugees. People on the south sid
took the stricken people in and KEEP
them at their homes without pay
About two hundred people did no
leave until Monday afternoon an
the police rescued them ia boats
Forty-five boats were used in thi
work.
| The food did an inestimabl
amount of damages to crops, lawns
streets and houses, bot no one va
dVowned or injured. The wste
reached a8 feet on the governmeA
gauge, four feet less than the higt
mark in 1903.

A NOTABLE ANNIVERSARY
Twenty-Five Years Ago Today Took
Place the Worldwide Revolu-
ton In Measuring Time.

Especial to the Herald.
Washington, d. c., Nov. 1S.-Twen-
ty-five years ago today took place that
, worldwide revolution in measuring
time-the adoption of the standard
method in the United States, whose
| example was followed later by other
civilized countries Previous to No
vember IS, 1883, the methods of meas
uring time in this country were so
varied and SO numerous as to be lu-
dicrous There were fifty different
standards used in the United States
from coast to coast, and on one road
between New York and Boston, whose
actual difference is twelve minutes,
there were three distinct standards of
! time.
Even small towns had two different
standards, one known as town or
local time and the other railroad
time. Naturally this condition of at
fairs caused endless complications, and
railroad officials were harried to the
point of despair in their efforts to
make out time tables that could be.
understood by the lay public.
There were many minds which
wrestled with the problem. AS early
as 1869 Prof Charles F. Dowd of Sar-
atoea. n Y. worked out theory by
which he proposed that time should
be regulated by meridians of one hour
apart Sir Sanford Fleming presented
a plan based on the 24-oclock nota-
ton. The plan which was finally
adopted and brought into practice was

they are as pretty a collection of girls
as ever set masculine hearts a-flutter.
They are close friends and happy as
sociates, recruited from ranches which
adjoin the 101, and all out with the
show for jolly good time.
Miss Miller is not unknown here, for
her fame has preceded her. Her
achievements in the saddle have given
her title to the claim of being one
of the most fearless and accomplished
horsewomen in the world. And she
can rope, throw and tie a steer in
something less than a minute. From

anything in the way of equestrianism
and no feat performed by the most
reckless among the cowboys on the
renowned 1O1 Ranch has ever baffled
her She learned to throw the lariat
with a skill wonderful for girl; but
that was not enough for her. She
wanted to learn how to do it better
than the cleverest cowboy on the
range and roundup, and finally came
the time when the men could learn
something by watching Mabel.
