Smith, her lover, caught her hand and
jerked the vial away, but not until the
girl had swallowed about half it's con-

some trees on North Topeka avenue,

Smith, crazed with excitement, was
attempting to choke the girl, but the

removed to hospital and it is said
she will recover. Smith refuses to be

OSBORNE DEMOCRATS WORKING.
They Hope to Elect a Part of Their
Ticket.

Osborne, Kan, Aug. 16.-The Demo-
Gratis of Osborne county seem to think
they have little hope of electing part
of their ticket and will work for the
success of all of them. One of the
nominees they expect to pull through
is Harry Gray, for commissioner. He
was defeated for congress on the
Populist ticket in 1900. He has been
the nominee for state senator, also for
member of the legislature and sur
veyor. He was nominated and elected
county clerk of Osborne county. The
defeats he met with were due to the
fact that there were more Republicans
than opposition.
The Osborne county Democratic
central committee, at their meeting
here, reported encouragement. J. L.
Travers was elected chairman and
Elmer Sharp secretary and treasurer.
The meeting was a representative one,
and all the candidates were present.
The Democrats didn't have a candi-
date for county attorney. 1t is under
stood that j. K. Mitchell, Republican
insurgent, will be an Independent can
didate.

New interest has been awakened in
this community by the high prices
paid in the last few years. Many
farmers now devote thousands of
acres to the crop.
r. J. Terwilliger Of Liberal, who
owns fine body of Land In Stevens
county, has LOO acres in broom corn
and the best estimates places the yield
above 500 tons, which, at the present
market price, should net him $4,000.
Mr.. Terwilliger estimates that 1t will
take one hundred men ninety days to
harvest this crop alone. The best of
this broom corn land sells at from ten
to fifteen dollars per acre and in many
instances the net receipts from a 160-
acre farm will more than pay for the
farm and consequently healthy de-
mand for land at these prices is ex-
pected
