o. T. WOOD GRATIFIED
WITH CAMPAIGN RESULT
Made an Excellent Showing and Run
A Good Race for Governor.

United States Marshal o. T. WooC
has been here from Topeka the past
several days on business.
Mr.. Wood was candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor
in the late primaries and. although
registered from the extreme south.
western part of the state, polled q
wonderful vote.
The last report showed Mr.. Wood
bit 800 votes behind the leading can
didate, with at least one third of the
counties not reported.
Mr.. Wood was a caller at the
Democrat office Monday morning
and expressed himself as gratified
with the showing he made in the race
"Of course, / would have been pleas
ed to have received the nomination, u
said Mr.. Wood, "but the other fellow
is a first rate fellow and will make
a mighty good governor. expect to
support him in every possible way
The light vote in southwestern
Kansas owing to the almost impass-
ible conditions of the roads was a
blow to the candidacy of Mr.. Wood
Had there been heavy vote in Sc
ward, Stevens and Meade counties
and Mr.. Wood received the same
proposition he received of the vote
cast the three counties would have
put him across easily.
However he has no sore spots and
is just as enthusiastic in his support
Of the state and national ticket.
Mr.. Wood returned to Topeka
Monday afternoon on Rock Island

CITY COUNCIL ENLARGES
FIRE LIMITS OF THE CITY

At meeting of the city council
held last night the matter of the ex-
tension of the fire limits was taken
up and considerable new territory
placed in the restricted zone.
The Democrat did not learn the
boundaries since the new order, but
is glad the council has acted at this
time.
Had there been similar action
about the time Liberal started its
first growth there would have been
fewer fire traps at this time.
The best way to keep substantial
buildings in good locations and the
council is to be commended in the
stand they have taken.

MERCHANTS PRICES STEADY
BUT THERE is STILL SHORTAGE
Frank C. Boles, of the Boles Store,
Finds Goods Scarce in East
ern Markets

Frank G. Boles returned the last
of the week from trip to the eastern
markets, where he went in the hope
of picking up some goods.
To a Democrat reporter Mr.. Boles
said that while prices were not
notceably higher. the scarcity Of
merchandise was still in evidence.
WHOLESALERS and jobbers expressed
confidence in the future and are ex-
pecting business to be good this fall.
Mr.. Boles says he was fortunate in
making some good purchases and is
doing his best to keep lines full
despite the condition of the markets.

effect that they would not ask for the
delivery of the bonds until satisfac-
tory assurance could be made the
council that the road would be built
and operated between Liberal and
Forgan, Oklahoma. Up to this time
the terms of this agreement have not
been complied with which places the
council in a position of not being
able to deliver the bonds without ig-
noring the agreement, made as a
protection to the city,"
W. f. Wilson, a member of the
council, in reply to request for an
interview, replied that he had no
statement to make at this time.
j. G. Bryson, another councilman
said: PERSONALLY / am for building
the railroad, but the council is not
in position to deliver the bonds until
the railroad company have complied
with the terms of the agreement
made before the bonds were
voted. This agreement was made
as a protection to the city and
| feel that the terms should be lived
up to-"
Chas Molter, councilman, was
next visited. Mr. Molter was busy,
but took time to say: 81 am perfectly
willing to turn over the bonds if the
courts order it. This would relieve
us of lot of responsibility. / do
not feel that the company has made
sufficient guarantees that the road
will be completed and until this is
done I would not favor turning over
the bonds"
H. F. Malone is OF Of the city and
the reporter was unable to locate
Burris Wright in time to get his in
terview.
The litigation seems to be neces-
sary to a settlement of the matter.
From what we can learn the rail-
road company and the council have
entirely different viewpoints in re-
gard to the meaning of the contract.
The council contends that the com
pany has not given sufficient guaran-
tee that the road will be completed,
while the company claims that the in
formation demanded is not of a ma
ture that can be made public.
The Democrat hopes to see the
matter settled and the road under
way. 1t is going to be big thing
to Liberal and will assist materially
in the development of an oil field
here.

remove to Hutchinson, where he will
be associated with the Bolin-Hall
Grain Co.
He has disposed of his property
here and as soon as arrangements can

The Democrat regrets perry much
to see Marion leave Liberal but he
is burning no bridges and the latch
string is on the outside for he and
Mrs. Hays. They have a host Of
friends here who extend them best
wishes for success.

bYERS GOES into COURT
TELEPHONE COMPANY is
ADDING MORE EQUIPMENT
The New Switchboard Ordered Al
most Year Ago Has Arrived and
Is Being Placed on the Floor

The New Switchboard ordered Al
most Year Ago Has Arrived and
Is Being Placed on the Floor
The new switchboard ordered al
most a year ago by the Liberal Tele-
phone company has at last arrived
and workmen are busy installing it..
One part was omitted in the ship
ment which will prevent the new
board from being used until it ar
rives, but it is hoped this will soon
come in.
With the switchboard came other
equipment to be used in extending
the system and bettering the service.
The company has been having quite
time the past few weeks owing to
the fact that the excavations for the
white way and the pavement has in
terfered with their cables, at times
cutting off the service in some Sec
tions of the city.
However these have been remedied
and the service is complete again.
The new switchboard has room for
three hundred additional phones and
this should take care of the business
for time. 1t is the latest and best
model and is added at a great ex-
pense.

JOE RUDOLPH HAS
WITHDRAWN FROM TICKET

Joe Rudolph who was drafted as a
candidate for Register of Deeds on
the Democratic ticket has withdrawn
from the race. He is leaving the city
and his candidacy interfered with
his plans. The Central committee
will likely fill the vacancy and if there
is anyone in Seward county who
would like to take his place they
should make their desire known.

are made with such artistic taste and
skill that they faithfully produce ones

characteristics that requires artistic

A NOBLE MAN.

Old Battery D in Chicago was crowd
ed to the doors with curious humanity.
The gathering had been inveighed
thither by the malignant Wiles and de-
vices of a cOterie of those strange
cranks and freaks who periodically
appear, under some guiSe or other, to
disturb and divide communities and
try to take the JOY out of life. The dis
ease called Apaism was rampant, and
faces that indeXed thick wits and
stunted souls were baleful with the
hollow glare of bigotry."

circuit court, will now address you.

j, n, STUNDBECk,

Before you let the contract for the
new plumbing or heating systems in
your new building, be sure and get
estimates on them from Stundbeck.
His work is always done in a work
manlike manner, promptly and the
prices charged are always reasonable
and fair. 1t is always important that
the plumbing or heating system works
right or there is the danger of sick
ness and inconvenience that will
arise. Defective plumbing is not only
dangerous but expensive because it
must be torn out and replaced to get
the service from it that is expected
The same is true with your heating
system. First Of all you want com
fort even on the coolest days, and
you will have it if you have a heating
plant installed by Mr.. Stundbeck.

THE BEGINNING OF CATHOLIC
LIFE IN MELROSE AND A HIS
TORY OF ST. PATRlck's PAR

After months of weary waiting and
longing for the sight of a priest the
few early Catholic settlers of Melrose
were most joyfully surprised on a
beautiful July evening of 1866, by
the appearance of one, as if from
Heaven. This Missionary from one of
the northern forts, was Rev. Father
Pierz, on his way to st. Paul He
stopped at the home of VIM. Cham
bers and expressed his intention of
staying for the night and of celebrat-
ing Holy Mass the next morning.
News was carried to the few nearest
settlers who were profoundly grateful
for the opportunity to hear Holy Mass
and receive the Sacramento.
The following year Rev. Father
Burns, o. S. B., came to look after the
spiritual wants of the few scattered
Catholic families. There being no
church, for the first few years, this
good and extremely unselfish priest
celebrated Holy Mass and admins
tered the Sacramento in the homes
of VIM. Chambers, Sam Brown, Sr.,
and Pat Graham, Sr.
In the year 1872, st. Patrick s
was organized and during that sum-
mer the present church was built by
the members, Sam Brown, ST., Pat
Graham, Sr., VIM. Chambers, Michael
Hannah, Math Hanrahan, Geo. Moen-
ing, B. Flahaven, NJ. Burke and ].
Flahaven.
The timbers and rough lumber was
procured from nearby homesteads,
while the finer material, seats and
other equipment was purchased in ST.
Cloud and brought to Melrose by OK
teams.
In the year 1881, a parochial resi-
dence, which is now occupied by the
Sisters, was erected; in 1910 a new
parish house was built, and in 1916
600, which included the cost of equip
ment.
The names of the several pastors
who have followed Rev. Father
Burns, o. S. B., are Father Casper
o. S. B., Father Paul, o. S. B., Father
Pancratius, o. S. B., Father Wilkins
Father Garnacke, Father Murphy
Father Williams, O. S. B., Father
Francis, o. S. B., Father Simplicius

gand, Father Zitur Father Rauch

pastor, who has been with us 81,
