Frank Lockard writes from his
sherman county home that he has
tried farming in that county for sew
eral years, and that he has scarcely
made. enough for his family to sub
sist upon In fact he kept away from
Topeka during the legislative session
this winter for the first time in more
than quarter of a century. He re-
fused to walk and the railroads shut
of free transportation. Lockard is
one of the most genial, clever fellows
IN all the Sixth district. During the
many years he lived in Norton county
and the recent years he has put in on
a farm in Sherman county, he has al
ways been helping the other good fell
lows out politically, and no good thing
ever came TO him. Lockard deserved
a good politically office for life. Had
he kept out of politics he would have

richest men in the Sixth district.

A plot of ground In Elmwood ceme-
terry In Be1oit, has been set aside for
the burial of the old army comrades
1t is one of the most beautiful burial
spots in the cemetery. A movement
is on foot to erect a monument ON this
soldier plot to cost not less than ST.
900 the money to be donated by the
city. w. H.. Houghton, one of the
most active soldier comrades and who
was in a large measure more interest
ed IN securing and laying out and
beautifying the plot set aside for the
burial or the comrades, is pushing the
monument movement to a successful
end
Gov. Stubs has made friends in his
Sixth district appointments. The Sc
lections of such men as w. B. Ham,
Of Rocks county, Ed MulIaney of era
ham county, Dr. H. A. Dykes, of Smith
county, A ]. Stanley of Lincoln coun-
ty, and DR.. " c. Eddy of Thomas
county for members on the several
state boards, are alike creditable to
the governor as they are to the coun-
ties they reside. These appointments
are representative citizens and bust
ness men In their home towns, and
they will no doubt make their OFFICES
good. The appointments of w. B.
Ham and DR.. Henry A. Dykes will in
no manner affect the candidacy of Mr..
Ham or DR.. John B. Dykes, who is
AUDIBLE ambition to be congressmeu.
