use it in making a still better pa
per. If you believe in that kind
of a system tell your friends who
are not now subscribers to have
their names added to the list.

should not forget the big meeting
on Saturday night of this week.
There's going to be a fine time

FOR PROBATE JUDGE.

Harry Hall is again the Demo-
cratic candidate for Probate Judge
of Barton county and there is no
question but that he will again be
elected by his usual large majori-
ty. There has been a number Of
good men who occupied the office
of probate judge since the Organi-
zation of Barton county, but it is
claimed by the attorneys of the
county and others who have bus
mess in this office that there has
never been a man yet in the posi-
ton who has given the work OF
the office the thorough attention,
and has so completely fulfilled
the duties of the position to the en-
tire satisfaction of every person
who has business in the office as
has Harry Hall. He has handled
the different cases brought before
him in an absolutely impartial
manner, and in such a way as to
save instead of cost the people of
the county more money, and has
made good in every particular. Mr..
Hall is a cripple and is unable to
do any kind of physical work, but
he is not making a campaign on
the strength of sympathy. He
was nominated without oppoSi-
tion-men of all parties uniting
in asking that he consent to again
make the race, and the very strong
point in his favor is the fact that
the people who have had business
in his office are the people who
are his strongest supporters, re-
gardleSS of their political affillia-
ton. He has made good in every
way and the voters of Barton
county are going to see that he is
retained in the position, and they
know that he will appreciate their
support and will look after the
affairs of the office in the same
thorough manner as in the past.

MORE PLATINUM NEEDED FOR ELECTRICAL
WORK AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ARE
STRAN|NG EVERY NERVE TO MEET DEMAND

Thomas II. Horton. United States
consul at Chemnitz. reports to the
department of commerce as follows:
zone of the most serious problems
connected with the expansion of cleo
trical illumination and certain branch |
es of technical chemistry is based |
upon the limited occurrence of the |
metal platinum. Hitherto Russia has
been practically the only source OF
supply. In several localities of the
Ural mountains, notably in the neigh
borhood of Mimi Tagilsk in the
Perm government and about Mount
Blgodat, the metal is found in suffi-
cient amount to allow of systematic
mining operations. Very small guam
titles of platinum have been found
in Borneo, Sumatra, Brazil, Colombia,
Australia and California, but the con
tributions from all these region to-
the worlds demands form small
fraction of the Russian supply-5 per
cent or less The total production is
now about 1880 pounds annually.
every effort has been made in
Russia to locate new deposits of the
metal, but without success. The an
nual quantity tends to decrease, and
an exhaustion of the deposits at no
very remote date seems almost a GER
tainty. At the same time the demand
for platinum has far outstripped the
supply, and has naturally caused an
enormous increase in the price. In
1892 platinum cost $50 per troy
pound, about one-third as much as
gold Four years ago the price had
risen to 1888 per troy pound. and at
present October, 1881 it is s4ss
per troy pound.
"a large group of industries viii
welcome the discovery in Germany
of extensive deposits of platinum, sus
ceptible of easy exploitation. The 10
cation of these deposits is at Wen
den, in Westphalia, in a section where
iron. lead. copper and zinc mines are
abundant. While prospecting by drill
