To The Democrats.
ConcOrdia, Kans.. .


COncOrdia, KanS., July 81
My Dear SIR
l fear the fact that Jonathan
G. Miller is the only candidate TO
Auditor of State on our primary
ballot at the August primaries i;
not as well known as it ought to
be among the voters, and would
appreciate it very much if you
would spread this information as
much as possible in your locality
and county. This is matter
that every democrat ought to be
Interested in, because Mr.. Miller
Is a very enthusiastic Democrat,
and one who is willing and ready
to make a strong fight for elec-
ton in November. If it should
be possible that by mistake he
does not receive a majority of
the votes it would place us in a
very embarrassing position.
In regard to the Democrats vOt-
ing the Republican ticket at the
primaries. Do not permit Repub
lican personal friend to induce
you to favor him, as they are re-
queSting Democrats to do, by urg'
ing you to help him nominate his
choice Of the two candidates for
Governor on the Republican tick
ct, because when you do this you
are doing an injustice to the can
didateS on your own ticket. You
must remember that we have five
good loyal Democrats running on
orr ticket for Railroad Commits
siOner out of which three are
to be chosen to represent US in
November. We also have two 10y
al Democrats running for State
Printer. You will also find in
most of the congressional districts
that we have from two to three
candidates on our ballot. | am
also informed that on a number
Of county tickets the same cOndi,
ton exists.
Now, fellow Democrats, do you
realize for a minute what you sac
rifice and the gross injustice you
do the Democratic candidates if
you are induced by some one to
60 to the polls and ask for a Re-
publican ballot, which absolutely
bars you from voting for a man
on the Democratic ballot at the
primaries. Can you afford to
do thisf l personally believe that
there are very few, who are Dem
Ocrats at heart and know these
conditions, who will allow them
selves to be worked for the pur-
pose of benefitting any one on
the Republican ticket.
Be honest with yourselves and
our party. Go to the polls, ask
for a Democratic ballot, and do
your duty to your party and your
conscience. In this way you will
aid us to make good showing
at the primaries, which will as
sist us materially at the NOvem-
Der election.
With the present conditions we
have an excellent show of success
and if we pull together between
now and November there will be
10 doubt in my mind but that we
will land our banner in victory.
Yours for success,
W. H. NJ. Pepperell,
Secretary Democratic State Gen.

TO have matters so arranged that
they can push their work, not let
their work push them. Those in
the latter class are not their own
masters. When operating too
extensively they can not be fore
handed. The areas farmed should
be reduced until the industrious
farmer is enabled to obtain mas
terry of his situation and then to
maintain it, improving his meth.
DDS and his soil. BY this, in goo(
time greater riches in and off the
ground will be his reward, tOgeth
er with the priceless satisfaction
that comes through really worthy
achievementS.-F. D. Coburn.

REPAIR BAD Walks OR
DAMAGE MAY RESULT.
Bad Pavement a STANDING
Menace.

The wretcLNd condition of the
pavement on lower Cotton avenue,
especially that part near the ice
plant, is not only an eyesore, but a
continued menace to hundreds of pep
pie who pass over it daily. For months
past the WORKOUT pavement has re-
manned neglected and at night, espe-
cially, pedestrians to and from the
Central depot are forced to founder
in mudholes in the center of the side
walk and crawl over brickbats lying
loose on this alleged pavement. Bricks
have been worn out and thrown away
in places, and these holes in the side
walk remain full of water during wet
weather. If an accident results
there, as is probable at any time, the
city would surely have to stand a
damage suit and with little ground for
defense in its continued neglect of
duty.

Y STORY SCRAPtR
TORN DOWN IN n. Y.
Store on Land Worth $780,
100000 an Acre.

New York, June 16.-On the corner
of Wall and Naussau streets, where
a towering 22-story skyscraper stood
six weeks ago, there is now a vacant
lot. AS the ground is worth $675 a
square foot, or $29,403 900 an acre
the lot will not remain vacant very
long Within few months the new
32-story Bankers Trust Company s
building VIII have risen in its place.
STwelve years ago the Gillinder
building, occupying one of the most
desirable corners in the Wall street
district, diagonally across from ]. +.
Morgan & Co.'S. office, was the talleSt
building in the world. 1t was occu-
pied by such prominent firms as A.
M. Kidder & Co., and the Manhattan
Trust Company.
This is the first tine that such a
high class office building, represent
ing the best type of modern firepro0f
construction, has been torn down 10

structure The Gillinder building
cost 100000 to build and 100000 to
remove. 1t was the Hottest struc-
ture in the world that was ever de-
liberately demolished, rising, with the
tower surrounding it, 3O6 feet above
the street.
It's the biggest job of its kind
ever undertaken, said A. Volk, the
contractor who is doing the work
The structure was so solidely built
some of the stones, taken out weigh
ing nearly 600 pounds-that it would
have lasted hundred years. Like
most of our skyscrapers, it was a steel
frame structure, with floors and par
titions of hollow tile blocks and walls
of stone and brick, a type of con,
struction which even the San Fran
cisco earthquake and canfagration
failed to destroy. The steel beams

from rust and corrosion by tile blocksI
