Cupid's Doing at DodgeyiIle.

We all know Stacy Kitto and we all
like him. He was born in Mineral
Point and here grew to sturdy man
hood. He's a printer and good one
and served for over four years in The
Tribune Office That's not all. He's
also good executor and instructor in
instrumental music But the point of
more Importance under consideration at
this tine is the fact that Mr.. Kitto was
on the 9Th inst. united in marriage to
Miss Dora Wickham, an accomplished
young lady Of Dodgeyile, at the home
Of her parents in that city.
Last November Mr. Kitto purchased
the "Ad Press, printing establish

in conducting the same. Thither he

Methods. Conference to Nice. Here.

| AT meeting of the Methodist Epis
copal church last week an invitation
was extended To the annual conference
to convene in this city at its next SEES
sion which will be held in September
of this year
There is no doubt Of the invitation
being accepted. The conference met
in this city in the year 1886 and made a
memorable impression upon every one
who was here at that time, The CON
ference is quite a different body frcm
what 1t was then. The number Of
preachers has increased until there are
now nearly two hundred men in the ac-
tive work. The conference Itself is a
very large and important body which
sits one week and represents the west
ern hal of Wisconsin extending from
Superior in the north and to the Illinois
line in the south
1t will bring to our city many distin-
guished visitors from various parts of
the country and viii afford rare OPP
portunity for our people to hear some
of the best speakers IN the church. IL
will also bring here many of the former
pastors, who will be welcomed by those
who knew them while serving here.
We may expect at least 300 visitors for
a period of one week.
This win be quite large undertaking
for the local church but no doubt all
the,citizens will cooperate in every way
possible by contributions to the enter
tainment committee and by opening
their homes to delegates in order to
make this event one of great credit to
us as city and also to share in the
benefits derived therefrom,
The pastor will make announcement
of plans and committees in the near
future.

That Jesuit Oath Is Hurtinn

DURING the last few months, there has
- been marvellous increase Of anti-Ro-
manist literature
Public attention is being aroused as never
before to the dangers of Romanist hypocrisy,
fraud, immortality, intolerance, political in

nonC Catholic who has read it, So greatly has
this infamous oath embarrassed the Roman

Here's Another Piece of News

III HE work OF gathering in delegates for Mayor
i GaynOr goes apace. William Herman
Black, recently of Georgia, but now firmly
fastened to the New York City payrolls by means
OF special retainer from that other dstin-
guished Southern gentleman Archibald Watson,
corporation counsel, assures Mayor Gaynor that
he has made arrangements to take over the Geor-
gia delegation as soon as it wearies of voting for
Underwood.
The Mayor is to be felicitated on having such
genius William Herman Black to look after
his political affairs He is fast friend of the
eX-POpuliSt Tom Watson, who through the
vagares Of Georgia politics, is now delegate-at-
large from the Cracker area, where Black, Robert
Chewystone Adamson and their kinfolk flourish
Mr.. Black expects Watson to lead the stampede
to Gaynor.
Mayor Gaynor Not to Blame
This brilliant achievement on the part of these
eminent cracked politicians has been the cause of
much anxiety to Mayor Gaynor's friends who
have been reading Mr.. Watson's fulminatons
against the Roman Catholic Church. The capture
of Watson may prove to be political blunder
little short of a crime
None who know Mayor Gaynor need be told
that he has scant sympathy with the Watson type
of man. In matters of religion, Mayor Gaynor is
broad the proverbial barn door. This is
illustrated by his talks and letters to the clergy
of all denominations. He wouldn't let Watson
come within striking distance of him. yet here is
a situation where his managers are arranging a
move that is likely to place him in a most unfor-
tunate position, in quarters where the Mayor is
not personally known.
The above is clipped from The M0Yninq
Telegraph, of New York City
If ever [ heard of William Herman Black,
have forgotten it.
If ever 1 heard of Archibald Watson,
don't remember it.

And if have the slightest idea Of leading
a stampede to Gaynor don't know it.

Bryan Says Tt Would Be Suicide
TO Choose Parker

for the Democrats he declared, ito Sc
1ect conservative like Parker for the honor of
making the keynote speech.
The keynote speech must be progressive" he
declared over the wire; "the nominee must be
progressiv and the platform must be progressive
There is no use for the Democrats to meet unless
they do at.'-Statement by William Jennings
Bryan
Mr. Bryan telephoned this to Josephus Daniels
from chicago last night-Baltimore Evening
Sun.
Since when, did Judge Parker become I'M
worthy to be temporary Chairman of the
Democratic Convention?
Since when, did "a conservative like Par
ker" become an impossibility with Mr., Bryan?
The. people were progressive" in 1896,
when Bryan played into Wall Streets hands
by breaking faith with the Populists, and
wasting time and ammunition in the hopeless
attempt to capture New England.
The people were progressive" in 1900,
when Bryan again served the reactionaries by
clinging on to the paramount issue of i'm
perial1sm.
The people were progressive" in 1904,
when Bryan capitulated to Wall Streets gold
standard and to Wall Streets candidate
The people were SO progressive" that they
wanted to support Watson but Bryan made
IS speeches day for Judge Parker, and held
the Democratic hosts in line for him.
The people in 1904 were as 'progressive'
as they are at this time; but Bryan held them
to "a conservative like Parker" by assuring
them that Parker was the Moses Of the Demo
cratic Party, and that Parker's ''ideals" were
the same as his own.
The people were progressive" in 1908, but
Bryan refused to make an issue Of lower
tariff taxation. He stubbornly stuck to his
absurd new paramount issue Of governmental
guarantee of bank deposits.
If Judge Parker was a Moses in 1904, why
is he now unfit to be temporary chairman of
the National Convention?
IF Parker's ideals were Bryan's ideals in
1904, when did they cease to be what they
were then?
IF Bryan was honest in 1904 when he told
the people that Parker was fit to be President,
how can he explain why Parker is now unfit
to be temporary chairman?
Parker has not changed. What he was in
1904 he is now
Nor has Bryan changed. It is the same old

ent, jealous, ready to sacrifice anything and
everybody to keep himself in the lead

RAISE MORE CHICKENS.

A person would hardly believe that
in a farming community such as We
have surrounding Hoisington, that at
certain seasons Of the year the egg
supply is not enough to meet the local
demand. But it is a fact. Cold stor-
age eggs are shipped in and the peO-
pie are willing to pay fancy prices
for them.
Every farmer, no matter whether
he farms on a large or small scale and
every resident of town who has
enough room ON his property should
raise chickens. The Kansas chicken
and Kansas COW we've known as mort.
gage hfters not many years ago md
there is no doubt but what cows and
chickens have been the rock founda-
tion upon which many a Kansas farm
er has built his fortune. But when
prosperity comes, they are first to be
abandoned when they should be given
the greater attention. Raise all the
chickens you can. Get all the butter
and butter fat YOU can. They viii
save you many a hand earned dollar.

NEW POWER PLoW.

W. A. Dawson Of lola was here last
week to look over the local field and
see II 1t would be to advantage to
establish a manufacturing plant here
for a new power plow which is much
superior 1t is claimed, to the present
sort dragged by big engines. This
plow is driven by power and pushed
ahead Of the engine. The engine Is
large in power but takes small space
and the driving wheels are arranged
to act as packers Of the subsoil turn
ed up by the plow. This plow can be
taken off any time and the engine
driven alone where needed for pack
ing. The outfit weighs 10 to II thou
sand pounds against the 16 to 20 thou
sand that the present outfits ON the
market weigh, does better work and
is corespondingg cheaper in price.
This Is one Of the greatest farming
communities In the world and the es-
tabHshing of a plant Of this sort here
means that the farmer can get right
in on the ground floor.
