This is the exhortation of the Atchison Cham
pioR, regarding the Judgeship. Ordinarily, it is
good advice; but there are times and occasions
when party considerations should not have any
weight. Those Republicans who are opposed to
Judge Hubbard are not actuated by personal
feelings, but by firm conviction that he is unfit
for the position. Had the Atchison Republicans
presented any good man against whom this feel
ing did not exist, Doniphan County would have
stuck to the ticket. But knowing how obnox-
ious he was, and that the spirit of the party re-
belled against him, they determined to force his
nomination, and to secure his election by the free
use of the party whip. Even then, had he won
by fair fight, there wonld have been some rea-
son to ask Republicans to stick to the ticket but
after Hubbard was fairly beaten in the primaries,
his nomination was secured by bribery and out
rageous fraud. No Republican is under obliga-
tion to support such a nominee and no Repub-
lican of Independent spirit will do it.


In the light of the past, this advice to stick to
the ticket comes with bad grace from the Atcb-
ison Champion, and the class of Republican man.
ayers that it represents. In 1868, Nathan Price,
of Doniphau County, was the Republican nomi-
nee for District Judge, and this same A. G. Otis
was the regular Democratic nominee. Did the
Champion beg of the Atchison Republicans to stick
to the tcketf Yes, to all of it but the oniphan
County candidate, Price. 1t contained frequent
appeals to the party to stand by the ticket, but
never spoke word in favor of Price Just be-
fore the election, it contained a long editorial,
commenting the Republican candidates by name,
from President down to the lowest County office,
but taking care to omit the name of Price for
Judge. In the election, Atchisou County gave
the Republican ticket over 800 majority, but
gave Otis majority of over 200 against Price-a
difference of about 600 votes. That is the way
Atchison County stuck to the ticket, when
Doniphan County man was the Republican nom-
inee.


The Republicans of Atchson County set the
example of voting for Otis against the regular
nominee of their own party, and we want to see
the Republicans of Doniphan County accept the
man 90 endorsed to them, against bogus nomi-
nee of the Republican party. Atchison County
has come to regard Doniphan County as a sort of
attache, to follow in her wake and do her bid
ding. The Republicans of this County are just
now in the humor to act for themselves. If they
continue in that humor, and give majority
against the fraudulent Atchison nominee that is
overwhelming, We predict that they will be
treated with at least common respect hereafter,
and their wishes consulted.

If he is the only honest Republican in the
State, and the party nominated him without op-

take honest men when they can find them. The

~ Reports from all parts of the County indi-
cate that Mr.. Otis will receive large majority
in the County. Hubbard originally had n few
supporters in this County, who will stick to him,
together with the Republicans who stick to what
is called the ticket, no matter who composes it /;
and the little squad of soreheads who always
have the nightmare about a Ring" and who al
ways act so as to be contrary. The noisiest men
against Otis are two or three impractible Demo-
Gratis, who are on their ear because he was not
nominated as a Democratic candidate. But as
they cannot control any other Democrats, nor have
any influence with Republicans, their fuss will
amount to nothing. We doubt whether Hubbard

RIGHT.-The Topeka Commonwealth is right in
objectng to Federal of1ice-holders being placed
on the State Central Committee. Both the
Chairman and Secretary of the Committee are
Federal Office holders and both are residents OF
the Districts from which they were appointed
solely by reason of holding their offices. There
is growing repugnance among the people to
the idea of the party being controlled by office
holders, thus being enabled to use the party ma
chinery to perpetuate their lease of office. Be-
sides, the masses of the party are getting into
the proper humor to rebel against the system of
allowing few men to monopolize all the posi-
tions of honor and profit. Some men have labor
ed for the party for years, without reward or
thanks, while others, who will not turn a hand
unless they see personal profit in it, are the ia
vored ones for the fat Offices, and for the posi-
tions of honor. The people are beginning to feel
wonderfully independent, and one of these times
the Republican party will receive such sudden
backset as will make their teeth rattle.

A WIPE's PowER.-The power of q
wife, forgood or evil, is irresistible. With
out one, home must be forever unknown.
A good wife is to man wisdom, strength
and courage; bad one is confusion, soeas-
ness and despair. No condition is.hope-
less to man where the wife possesses
frmness, decision and economy. There is
no outward propriety which can counteract
Incidence, extravaganza and folly at home.
No spirit can long endure bad influence.
Man is strong, but his heart is not ada
mant. He delights in enterprise and action
but to sustain him he needs q tranquil mind;
especially if he is an intelligent man, with
a whole head, he needs moral force in
the conflict of life. To recover his COM
posure, home must be place of peace and
comfort. There his soul renews its stregth,
and goes forth in fresh vigour to meet the
labor and troubles Of life. But if at home
he finds no rest, and is there met with bad
temper, sulleness, Jealousy, and gloom, or
assailed with complaints and censure, hope
vanishes, and he sinks into despair. Such
is the case with too many who, it might
seem, have no no conflicts Of trials of life.

The history of the "Iowa maidstone" as
it is currently reported, is curious and in
teresting Its wonderful properties have
been known about 135 years, and its fame
has spread throughout all the country in
the vicinity of its owner, Mr.. Evans. The
greatest reliance is placed upon its virtues
in all cases Of hydrophobia. 1t is said
that $50 cures have been effected by the
present owner, The stone is very small,
and looks something like dark sponge,


except that the pores are not so large.
Before operating with it the stone is heated
in milk and water; the patient is made to
exercise until the blood circulates freely;
then the skin near the bite is scratched
until the blood comes, and the stone ap-
piled. When filed with virus, it is taken
off, soaked in warm milk and water, and
the application repeated until the stone
will not adhere to the flesh. Sometimes
as many as one or two hundred applica-
tions are necessary. It cannot be easily
removed from an infected person, so great


is its power of suction; but upon the flesh
Of person not inoculated with the poison

Mrs. Caroline Marsh Norton was born in Litchfeld. Conn, in 1794. Losing her father at an early age, she and younger brother were left to the care of mother, who spared no pains to bring them up in the fear of the Lord. Caroline was very handsome and graceful child, with peculi-. arly attractive manners. A sweet. ami able, unselfsh disposition characterized her whole life. She possessed the happy faculty of looking on the bright side, and seeing something in almost every thing to love and and admire. Her youth was spent in laying mp store of knowledge derived from books. study of human character, and cultivation of Christian graces, winch in after life brought forth abundant fruit.

 She was married to MT. Myron Norton, of Goshen in 1919. She became the moth- CT af two sons, and daughter who with one of the sons, and several grandchildren still remain to mourn her loss. The writ CT of this was privileged to be an inmate of her family for some time, and can truly say, that she never met a more dntifuf. loving daughter, a more self sacrificing wife, more tender mother. or a more faithful friend. She was very undemon- strative in her religion, but she knew the voice of God, and her soul was strong in obedience to bis heavenly call. She lov ed to read, and spent much of her time during the last years of her life with her favorite authors. Passages mark ed in the books she read. show that she was no meaA critic, but that she had just appreciation of the beautiful and true. She was passionate admirer of the beau ties of nature, and if chance threw her among unlovely scenery, imagination could transform the most bleak and bar. ren hills into fancy. pictures, filled with beauty and loveliness all her own.

Early this morning in left the depot for two miles ride to Mir. Earle Bucking- hams, to pay visit to his creamery, and see his process of butter making; a sight well worth looking at. In the north side of the spring house is the vat, through which is continually passing stream of pure water, so pure that the fastidious water cress was in full blossom just whore the water made it's exit, and in the vat stood the coolers of milk, waiting for the cream to rise, and some frkins of butter that may truly go in the class of "gilt edg- ed." After standing 36 hours the cream is ladled off, leaving milk so sweet and cool, as to be grateful beverage in warm day. The nice calves in the adjoin- ing field showed that it was good for "man and beast" When the cream is just ready to turn sour, it is put in dasher churn about the size of four barrel, and then the dasher attached to lever, worked by horse power; sight that is very restful 5o one whose arms have ached many a time in days of yore at similar churning.
