DEAN OF DRUMMERs Is DEAD.

c. S. Truck, aged 70 years, living
near Mt. Carmel academy, died Tues.
day afternoon at 4 O'Clock, from a
complication of troubles following an
operation. He had been i'll about 5
weeks and underwent an operation
two weeks ago.
Mr.. Truck was a veteran travelling
salesman for the National Biscuit
company. He had lived in Wichita
most of the time since 1891, coming
here from Newton when the Nation.
al Biscuit company purchased the
wichita Cracker company. He was
sent here to close out the cracker
company. Until taken Ill, he was an
active travelling man for his company
He was a charter member of the
United Commercial Travellers and a
member of the Gideon society.
His wife and three sons, Guy NJ.
Truck, manager of hr Western Fur
n1ture company; c. A. Truck, cash.
Ter at Dold's Packing company; F. O,
Truck of Great Bend, travelling man
for the National Biscuit company,
and two sisters in Ohio survive. Fun
eral arrangements have not been
made.-Wichita Eagle, Feb. 10.
Mr.. Truck was for many years a
resident of this city, removing to
Wichita only last summer, and was
we'll knowon by most of the citizens
OF the city. He was taken to the
hospital in Wichita several weeks
for an operation and for several days
before his death was in very criti-
cal condition although hopes were en-
tertained for his ultimate recovery,
and the news of his death was a
great shock to his many warm friends
here.
1t can truthfully be said that Mr..
Truck was one of the best men who
ever lived. A thorough Christian, a
man who believed in doing unto his
neighbor as he would have them do
unto him, man always ready and
willing to assist friend in any man.
ner possible, and to treat an enemy
IN like manner, if such a thing as
an enemy he ever had. Cheerful and
happy at all times and under all cir
cumstances, always believing in the
goodness Of man and the protection
OF the Father, he was a man univer-
sally respected and admired-a man
worth while to know and to have as
a friend.
With the many friends the Demo
crat joins in extending to the bereft
family sincere sympathy in the loss
OF good and true father, husband
and citizen.

MAKING ACTIVE CANVAS.

L. L. Taylor, the Dodge City real
estate man, was in the city last
Thursday on a visit with his many
Great Bend friends, and interviewing
number of the prominent men of
the city in regard to his candidacy
as receiver of the land office at
Dodge City. Probably no other man
in the state has as good or better
qualifications for this office than has
Mr.. Taylor, and his candidacy for the
appointment is meeting with favor
in all parts. He has list of person
al endorsements from almost one
thousand of the representative men
from all parts of the state, and his
recommendations are not all from
members Of his own political party,
for many of the prominent Republi-
cans of the state are taking an ac-
tive interest in his behalf, who be-
lieve that the position is one that
requires man of exceptional ability
and who know personally that Mr..
Taylor is eminently fitted in all ways
to conduct the affairs of the office
in a highly satisfactory manner.
During the late campaign Mr.. Tay-
lor was an ardent supporter and one
of the influential workers in behalf
of Senator VIM. Thompson, and while
there has been no official announce
ment to such effect, it is understood
that the Senator is strongly in favor
of Mr.. Taylor's appointment to the
place. This, with the unqualified en-
dorsement of many of the Congress
men from this state, as well as the
endorsement of a majority of the
members of the state legislature, is
an Indication that the gentleman from
Dodge stands at least a good show
of landing this position, and his many
friends in Barton county sincerely
hope that this will be the case.

The good people of olmitz, while
having undergone the sad misfortune
Of having had their fine church and
school buildings burned to the ground
recently, are the kind of people who
are not discouraged by misfortune,
who have made Kansas to blossom
as the rose and who have long ago
overcome greater difficulties than
are now confronting them. Arrang.
ments are already under way to err
ect better and finer buildings to re-
place the burned ones. The first
Sunday after the fire the parishon-
ers contributed over $4,000 to the
building fund and We are told that
already over $4,000 has been pledg-
ed. They will likely erect a brick
church edifice, while the school
buildings will be of cut stone, of
which there is a plenty in that part
OF the county ready to be Quarried.
