Home From Abroad.

Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Schneider,
Oh the south side, returned from
their trip abroad on last Friday
evening, after an absence of
about three months, which time
was spent with their old friends
and neighbOrS in Germany. This
was the first visit to the Father

OF course much improvement was
noted by the visitors. They were

Schneider says that in every par

twenty-five years as has our owl

fact that farms are much small

Hodges at Ellinwood.

Senator Hodges, democratic nom
mee for governor. spent a few
hours in EllinwOOd Monday night.
Ar. Hodges made a good impress
sion on the people here in the
friendly and gentlemanly way he
approached the people. The only
objection to his visit, by both the
democrats and republicans, that
the Senator did not give a talk,
however. he promised to be here
again at a later date and make a
speech, if it would be possible to
get here. When Mr.. Hodges is
tC be here it will be advertised
In advance and he can feel aSSur-
ed that he will have the largest
audience ever given any political
speaker in EllinwOOd. Mr.. Hodg
es seems to be a man of very
broad mind and a man that would
look after the interests of the
state instead of a personal gain,
and if elected governor will give
the people a good administration,
and not try to build up a pOliti-
cal machine for personal interests

StcDDed Cd me Scissors.

Miss Maude Doran, daughter of
VIM. Doran, living northeast of town
stepped on a pair of scissors last
Thursday night at her home, running
them almost through her foot. She
was sewing and started to get up to
open the door for her father and as
she got up the scissors slipped TO the
floor and she stepped on them, the
points entering her foot and opening
up after entering, severing an artery
and cutting the large nerve that cor-
trolls the toes. She suffered untold
pain Friday, Saturday and Sunday
but by Monday she was resting more
easy. The first three days it required

A Gun Toter Singed.

A young man by the name OF
Will Crawford, who has been EN-
FlOyed around Helzer, must have
gotten mixed up with some OF
Dams Double Stamp, or some
thing equally as bad, last Satur-
day night, because he armed HIM
self with a good sized gun and
proceeded to run the town and
shoot at random. After having
made himself, in company with
two companions, Harry Nichols
and r. Swain, obnoxious, they
were interrupted by Ed Sterling,
who began getting tired of their
dOingS. In reply to Sterllng'S ad
mOnltlOn to behave they took a
shot at the house, but did not hit
any one. The sheriff was called
for and the FOUNDERS were landed
In jail. On Monday morning al
opportunity was given them tt
air their trouble in JenniSOn
court, with the result that tn
first named was fined 500 ant
costs. and the others S. each ant
costs. This will likely give then
to understand that they had BET
ter not attempt at any time to tr,
running a town by themselves L
their own way.

Mallonee Baby Passes Away.

The many friends Of Mr.. and
Mrs. +. l.. MallOnee, formerly
residents of this city, will be sOr-
ry to hear Of the bereavement
which has come to them in the
death OF their daughter, which
occurred a few days ago. We
take the following from the Col
crado Transit, published at Gold
en-:
After an illness of only a few
days with pneumonia, the baby
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. +. l..
MallOnee passed away in this city
last Thursday. Dorothy Esther
was the name of the little one, a
most affectiOnate and winSOme
child of nearly two years. A par
tlcularly sad feature of the death
OF the little girl is the fact that
she and her mother had only ar
rived the previous Sunday even
from Kansas City, joining Mr.
MallOnee, who had been here just
a month. The child was taken il
the very evening of their arrival
and in spite Of the best of care
and medical attention, sank rap
idly. The heart-brOken young
parents have the sympathy Of
the community in their great
loss.

Latest On The Logan Case.

So far as we are able to aScer-
tain, tne latest information on
the Logan case is contained IN
the following appearing under an
Ottawa date line, the 22nd:-
Henry c. LOgan's brothers can
give no assistance to him. Geo.
Logan, Of LeavenwOrth, who was
here yesterday in consultation
with Mrs. Logan and her friends,
made the announcement last even
ing as he was leaving for home.
'I don't see how we can do
anything for Henry" " said George
Logan. Il myself am poor
man, depending upon my daily
wages Tor my living. Eli has a
little more than | have, but he Is
nearly blind and has a family
He will have to look out for his
wife and children. Charles, who
is at KlckapOO, is not in a posi-
ton financially OF do anything,
and a brother in the west IS old
and not able to help. We have
talked it over together and have
been unable to see how we can
raise any money to hire lawyer
We are up against it, and can t
see any way to do it."
Mr.. Logan had long talk with
W. s. JenkS and E. S. Lynch and
the situation was gone over thor
Oughly. Mrs. Logan, the wife OF
the man in Jail at Hutchinson VIII
is charged with the murder OF
Will Miller near Great Bend, on
July 9th, is all at sea today with
her plans. She had counted on
help from the brothers. She has
no idea what she will be able to
do about a lawyer, but she does
not expect to give up.
E. s. Lynch, his partner in the
cement business, has written LO-
gan asking him uetinitely about
the deposit of $4,000 he claims to
have in bank at Pueblo. He al
so has written to Mrs. A. D. Rog-
ers, Mrs. LOgan's sister who lives
at Hutchinson, asking her to vlS'
it Mr.. Logan and try to find Out
If there is any such thing as the
5000.
Ii there should happen to be
any money to LOgan's credit, il
will be available for the defense
II not, it clearly will point to tht
prisoners insanity. For a mum
Der of years Logan has insisted
that he had the money, and ha
e even offered to invest it in loca
enterprises. A few years ago
when he was employed to pro
mote company to take over tn
DobsOn mill, he headed the stOcl
subscription list with his own sui
scriptiOn for $4,000, explaining
that he could draw out the Puet
10 money for that purpose.
Logan was brought to this cOu
tv this week for the purpose Q
beng given his preliminary heal
ing, which he waived.

Standpatter or Insurgent?

Standpatter or Insurgent?
Congressman Ed Madison would
have the voters of the Seventh
district believe that he Is an In
Surgen, but at the same time he
wishes the standpaIterS to also
believe that he is loyal to their
faction. While in Washington he
poses as an inSurgent, but when
at home he refuses to fight for
the insurgents cause. During tha
late campaign he remained at his
home and left Sen. BrlStOw and
Victor MurdOck to fight the bat
tie without him. He refused to
turn a hand for Gov. Stubbs. BY
pursuing this course he figured
that his reputation as an lnSur-
gent at Washington would bring
HIM the inSurgent vote at the No
vember election, Notwithstanding
that he had voted for the Payne
Aldrich tariff bill and thereby
voted against the interests of his
constituents.
From his actions one would be
led to believe that Congressman
Madison is a Standpatter. This
conclusion may be drawn not on
ly from his final votes for Cannon
and the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill,
but because he has followed Press
dent Taft'S lead in refusing to
recognize or endorse any Of the
lnsurgent leaders for office. Pres
ldent Taft refused to give Senator
BristOw any of the appointments
/ KANSAS, but gave them all to
that prince of standpatters, Sena-
tor Curtis. Congressman Madison
likewise has recommended for ap-
pOintment to many pOStOfflceS IN
| this district none but notorious
standpatters. For the post office
Of Hutchinson, he endorsed DR..
Henry Stewart, a red hot Payne
AIdrich- W. Y. Morgan standpat-
ter; for the office at st. John,
lie manner Homer Cornwall, a dOu-
bic, back action gatling gun, AID
rlch-Payne Stand-patter, and the
editor of a bowling standpat pap
er; for the office at Kingman, he
named for re-appOintment Frank
Harlow, formerly chairman of Ser
ator chester |. Longs congress
SlOnal committee. and an old ap-
pOintment of Senator Longs.
At Dodge City, Congressman
MadisOn's home, the present post
master has held his office for a
period of twelve years and Is a
candidate to succeed himself. T'w
other candidates are after the Of

the fact that the present post
