For H. B. White.

Two weeks ago the Gazette
said it would support the candi-
date that represented the
principles of the Republican
party. At that time we had
Reeder in mind. Last week the
Gazette said that Reeder had the
best fighting chance in the south
west part of the county. We
believed it. This week we take
it back. The field belongs to
White. White has been here,
and as far as we can see, the
conquest is his. White came to
US like man and asked for our
support. We said, "Mr. White,
the Gazette will not support any
man for congress in opposition
to the sentiment OF the leading
Republicans of this community
Go out and line up the leading
Repu blician in your favor and
the Gazette will do what it can
for you"
Mr.. White went out and lined
them up, and he did it without
resorting to necromancy, hypno-
tism. absent treatment, dictator
ial tactics or physical violence
He simply WON them. Call it
switching, Topping. or what you
like-the Gazette is for White.
1t is for White because it be
lieves that the Republican senti-
ment of this community is for
White. 1t is for White because
White is competent and well dis
posed to represent the principles
of the republican party without
parading the bitter emnity or
contentious of faction.

ACCIDENTIy KILLED BY SHOTGUN.
Chester Case Meets Death at His
Fathers Home.

One of tue SaddeSt accidents
which resulted in sudden death
that has happened in Graham
county for some time, occurred
Saturday afternoon at the home
teen miles northwest of Wa
Keeney, near St. Peter, where
Chester Case, a bright young
man IA years of age, was instant
ly killed by the accidental dis
charge of a gun while in wagon
alone on his fat ler'S farm.
The young man had started
out after load of fence posts,
taking a shot gun with him and
in some way the weapon was dis
charged, the entire load entering
his body and it is supposed death
was instantly, as when his life
less body was found a short time
after report of the shot was
heard, there was no evidence of
a struggle, the horses were
quietly standing in the road as
if conscious of something wrong,
but the body was badly burned
the powder having started a fire
in the loose hay which nearly
filed tie wagon box and most of
the clothes on the young mans
person had also been consumed.
A report of the fatal shot was
was heard at the house by Mr.
Case and his older son, who
thought nothing of it at the time
but when Chester failed to re-
lrn search for him was begun
resulting in the discovery OF his
charred and disfigured body in
the wagon box.
Funeral services were held
at the Case home Sunday after
noon at 4 o'clock, conducted by
Rev E. d. Beason of Wa-Keeney,
and the remains were bought to
this city Sunday night and ship
ped to Hiatsville, Kans., accom-
panied by Mr.. Case and an older
son, where internment was
made.
The World with numerous
other Trego and Graham county
friends, deeply sympathize with
Mr.. and Mrs. Case in their sad
hour of aff1iction.

IN FOUR PARTS
Part I.

of the Care du Nord, in
the gathering gloom of
dusk, Mr.. John Smith took
his first look at Paris; and so
far as he could see, it didn't
have a thing on Passaic,
New Jersey. No fine frenzy
of imagination was kindled
by this initial glimpse of the
wonder city of the world; he
merely pondered how, in the
absence of trolley cars, he
could get down to the Rue
de Main Street, or whatever
they called it, where the no.
tells were. No unspeakable
emotion, born of a long cher
ished dream come true,
struggled within his soul;
the thing uppermost in his
mind was a deep seated
craving for a fifteen minute
seance with a beef stew that
had lots of potatoes in it. 1t
would require many beef
stews. he figured, to fill the
aching void caused by his
eight-day ocean trip.
So, meditatively, for a
time Mr.. John Smith stood
looking upon Paris with
comparative eye. And the
longer he looked the worse
it was for Paris. The time
stained, weather beaten
buildings across the street
were not One-two-nine with
the new brick block back
home; the rain drenched
square before him was nei-
ther wider, nor grander, nor
in any way more calculated
to arouse his enthusiasm
than was the square in front
of the church at Passaic-
ave. and Grove-st. Trim
lines of trees edged the curbs
straight away ahead of him;
but they would be dwarfs if
set down beside the trees
back home. Awnings were
