Mr.. Brewer is very pleasant gen.
tleman to meet and made many
friends by his appearance here. He
is about the only business man on

be nominated hands down. For the
past 35 years he has been a sue
cessful business man Of Abilene and
he promises to the people OF this
state the best there is in him II elect

He thinks the present tariff law is
a big detriment to the farmers and
believes that before another year

ment In supporting Mr.. Brewer you
are boosting man Of ability and
you will make no mistake by giving
him your vote at the primary in

SWAMP WATER KILLS HORSES
Return of Horse Plague Is Consider
ed Improbable

A scare prevailing among farm
ers in the vicinity Of Solomon that
the dread horse plague that caused
so much damage two years ago is
again present in Dickinson county
seems to have little foundation. Dr.
Goss of the veterinary department
of the agricultural college, who was
called in consultation with local
veterinarians as to the cause OF the
sickness of a number of horses own
ed by Solomon men, gave as his
opinion that the sickness was caused
by a worm present in the weeds
near swamp water and in the pool
from which the horses drank. This
work, known as the Palasade worm,
is not believed to have been the
cause of the severe plague two
years ago.
DR.. e. Makins and DR.. Ralph
Townsend Of this city were called
to Solomon to diagnose the disease
with DR.. Goss. Albert Brewer lost
three horses, v. o. Bowersock, one.
and Harry Vanderbilt, one. Three
of the horses had no chance to live
and were killed. All of the horses
had drank OF the same swamp water.

A BUSINESS MAN AND
A REAL REPUBLICAN

C. F. Scott in lola Register: Hon
]. e. Brewer, one of the Republican
candidates for the office OF lieuten'
ant governor, spent in forenoon IN
lola getting acquainted with as many
of the people as he could meet In
that time. Mr.. Brewer is engaged
in the business of general merchan-
dising in Abilene, and as a sort nj
side line ships something like 200
carloads Of eggs to the outside mar
kets each year. He was member
of the state senate 1904-5 and made
splendid reputation as a level
headed and conservative legislator.
Mr.. Brewer has a fine reputation In
the central part Of the state where
he has been in business for more
than thirty years, and his Republi-
canism is of the stalwart kind whose
devotion to Republican principles is
not in the least affected by the ques-
tion as to whether or not the party
happens to be in the majority. He
found a lot of the same sort Of Re-
publicans in lola and his brief visit
here was therefore a real pleasure
to him.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE
" CORN IN THIS SECTION

The truth about the corn of CEN
trail Kansas is that 1t has good
chance for a fair average crop but
that there Is none for bumper
crop. Dickinson county is probably
in the best corn condition of any
county in this section and its corn,
especially along the bottoms of the
Smoky Hill, is marvelously tall and
promises heavy yields. The south
part of the county has good pros
pect for corn, particularly the bot
tom lands The corn is good in the
north end OF the county but all the
corn needs rain to complete its ma
turity. From the south line Of Clay
county begins a dry streak that
extends to the north end OF the
state. In the bottoms the corn is
good, on the uplands the heaviest
rains could make only part crop.
This extends west through Cloud
county and Mitchell county. 1t is very
dry around Concordia and Beloit.
The roads from Clay Center to west
of Concordia are five inches deep
with dust on the bottoms, as bad as
at any time last summer. The Sol
omon valley from Glasco to Solomon
has good corn prospects If there are
rains within a reasonable time. Take
it all in all Dickinson is about this
most favored county as regards corn
in this section Of the state.

thing we expect to emphasize, and
it will have added force when in
cluded in our charter. Too many
natatoriums have failed because they
have not maintained a moral atmoe-
phere, and that is one thing we
shall insist upon" The comment

directors and stockholders.

who had already told the directors
of their inspection trip, made some

size of the pool has been cut down

that this would be plenty large
enough and would lessen the ex-
pense considerably. The entrance
will be at the south. fronting Cot

A collector was sent out today to
collect the money subscribed for tie

of the money certificates which are
to be exchanged for stock when the
