that Bristow and Stubs are un-

holders are for Long and Leland

their positions. The rank and

Bristow Confident of His NOM
inatiOn.

Atwood. Kan, May 6.-Joseph
L. Bristow of Salina, candidate
for United States Senator, visit
ed Rawlins countv Monday look
ing after his interests. While
enroute here he met many ad-
mires at Herndon and Ludell
where short stops were made.
He delivered very interesting
speech in Atwood Monday after
noon.
Mr.. Bristow is very much en-
couraged over the general stu
alton throughout the state and
said:
eff do not win this nomina-
ton at the primary 1 will never
guess again. The voters in the
rural districts are generally for
me and they will be greater
factor in determining the nom
inees this fall than ever before.
l find in the county seats where
the politicians are thickest and
among the county officers that
they generally are against me-"
When asked if he thought
voters in rural districts would
take sufficient interest to attend
the primary he replied that as
all parties held at the same time
and place there would no doubt
be the same interest taken as al
an election.-Topeka Capital.

1t has been suggested that a
good way to get seperate repre-
sentation for Gray and Haskell
counties would be to elect a rep
resentative from each county,
have them go down to Topeka
and contest for the seat. The
matter would be brought into the
Supreme court, and could on y
be decided in favor of seperate
representation, as the constitu-
ton provides that a county can
have representative if it has at
least 200 voters. The only
reason that the legislature has
not reappointed the western
counties according TO their rights
is because several of the eastern
counties have two representa-
tives apiece and refuse to give
up one of them. They will have
to cut out that foo1ishness and
come to time, as the western
counties are getting tired of be-
ing sat down upon.-Cimarron
Jacksonian.
If it had not been for the work.
ing of politicians these counties
would each been given a repre-
sentative at the last session.
Miller, of Haskell, had a bill but
it was killed.

EVANSVILLE, Md, October Q, 1905
The apathy that has characterized the
political campaign in this section. SO far
as the republicans are concerned. is grad
ually disappearing. and one week from
last night a meeting will be held in Ma
sonic Hall here. when Representative
Sydney F.. Mudd, republican candidate for
reelection in the fifth Maryland congress
sional district will be the chief speaker.
One Of the largest political demonstra-
tons in the history of this town occurred
Wednesday evening. when a large banner
bearing the likenesses of Bryan and Kern
was strung across the Washington and
Baltimore boulevard just north of Johnson
was a display Of red lights. with music
from the Laurel Military Band. Jack
son II. Ralston congratulated the people
upon their manifest show OF interest in
the campaign. and said that the large at
tendance argued we'll for the success Of
the democratic candidates. The crowd
and speakers marched to Masonic Hall
which was crowded to overlooking: Rob
ert w. Wells, president of the local demo-
cratic club. introduced the speakers.
George NJ. Smith. candidate for Congress
from the fifth Maryland district dis
cussed the issues of the campaign, and
being a labor union man. touched particu-
larly upon his partys attitude toward
democracy.
Charles 4. Douglas and James s. Easily

crowd adjourned to the clubs headquar-

Entire yokes of braiding are seen on
gowns for day wear. Wolfe makes an
especially good background for braid and
many of the newest models in this fabric
are lavishly decorated in this style.
Lace blouses come in for a share OF this
popular trimming. The upper part. fitting
the shoulders smoothly, will have the pat
tern picked out with braid and few
embroidery stitches as far as yoke depth
and display cuffs to match.
This decoration Is within the skill OF
the average sewer and will add much to
the beauty of the waist. Bands Of braided
tilet net are a pretty addition tin sus-
pender fashion, to a blouse of chiffon,
keeping to the one color scheme. and q
yoke and cuffs of chiffon braided are
equally attractive a trimming for an
evening waist of any of the soft silks.
Another hit of needlework that calls for
no particular skill is button making. using
a scrap of silk worked with a few fancy
stitches or covering with braid put on
,, round after round. All or any of these
trimmings could be manufactured at
home AZ very little cost and be ready for
the dressmaker or millner to use.
Motifs or braided chiffon used on a gown
of crepe de chine are very smart. and the
fad for scarfs and sashes of all descrip-
tons opens a field for displaying many
ideas. The ends may be veritable in
crustations. or. again. the decoration may
be only few long stitches in floss silk

Stuffed Eggplant.

lily dinner it comes on with the meat,

In the latter case the stuffing should
be hearty. Cut slice from the stalk

out the inside. taking pains not to
break through the skin. Put the hol-
lowed plant in boiling sailed water,
