Call and see them. Ex- In the Alliance-Peoples' convention last Saturday, they didn't have a word in favor of theld soldier, and in regard to prohibition, they dodged most beautifully.

Senator MeTaggart was one of those who observed Memorial Day at Gettysburg. While there he purchased several canes 83 souvenirs cf the bat-tie field and these he has presented to the old veterans of Mcpherson Tost who took part in that famous bat to. It is a memento highly prized. The court house tower is being ore pared to receive the new clock, with us luur laces. In the Tribune of last week appeared me can lor a jviass Temperance Con venuon ana among other signatures appeared mat oi J.

it. Unarlton, and therebv hangs apolitical tale. He has ccu w'un as a promoitionist, as a as editing two independent papers, and on the Saturday previous had been nominated by the Alliances as County Attorney oa the People's tiunei. occupying me position lie aid, and having signed the call, seems to have been embarrassing to his political ambition, and later we received a card stating that Mr. Charlton desired that his name be omitted from the call for personal reasons, and yesterday another letter came denying that be ever signed the call, although he had published the call in each of his own papersthe Eajrh ami the Enterprise, at Elk City.

Tho Tribune didn't "put hiia in the hole" and will leave it to the gentleman himself to explain to the prohibitionists why personal reasons should cause him to want his name off, and satisfy democrats why he put his name there in the first place. Political acrobats are often discovered, and we will await developments. Morning Rcportor.l A. J. Biddison, of Coffeyville, was in the city yesterday.

We understand that Mr. Biddison is willing to make the race fcr count superintendent, on the republican ticket this fall. News comes from Elk City that there were two attempts at suicide there Wednesday night. Rudolph Myers, a German of advanced age, attempted to kill himself with a revolver. He fired three times, two of the passing through his body and is not like ly to recover Ho "was at one time quite wealthy but had met with reverses and Kays he did it because he was afraid he would have to go to tho poor farm.

The other was a Mrs. Carson, of middle age. It is supposed she attempted to kill herself because her husband left her a few days ago. She took laudanum, but not enough to accomplish her design and will recover. J.

R. Charlton, of the Elk City gle, the nominee of the alliance county attorney, was in the citv Ea-for Sa: urday. Mr. Charlton seems to be worried over the publication of a call for a temperance convention, in the various county papers, including his own, with liis name attached. As he was hoping for a solid democratic support, this may not have been good politics, but it shows what is better, good principle.

He told us on Saturday that he desired to publish a card in the Reporter explanatory cf the matter, but the card was not brought to us. On reflection, Mr. Charlton probably came to the wise conclusion that he had nothing to explain, and we are clearly of the opinion that an apology for a display of temperance principle will not strengthen him with the people. On hist Monday evening the First National bank took possession under chattel mortgage cf the wholesale grocery house of M. J.

Paul and a little later'the Commercial bank took possession of the retail feslablish- ment or r. l'aur. we cannot now give any correct estimate of the liabil ities or the two houses. We understand that the two banks hold claims amounting to about and it is likely that outside claims are enuallv large. While the assets are large we fear that they will not be sufiicient to meet the liabilities under forced sale.

The citizens of Independence will regret that these popular and enterprising business men, who have been with us from the early days of the city's history are compelled to close their doors. Public spirited and liberal, their failure is a loss to the whole city. We hope that it will not be permanent and that they may be able to resume. The Ladies' and Pastor's Union of the M. E.

Church, of this city, received and entertained their friends at Mrs. Dr. Tallman's, on Tuesday evening. The evening was exceedingly pleasant, the grounds around the residence were beautifully lighted, and the company embraced many of the leading ladies and gentlemen of the city. All en joyed the occasion in a social way, and the receipts were very satistactorv.

Mrs. Potter, Mrs. Tallman, Mrs. Glass and their faithful assistants deserve great credit for the manner in which the Union is managed. The members all work harmoniously and pleasantly together for the success of the church and the furtherance of the good work.

One of the editors of The Jouiixai, spent a short time at tho home of M. C. Barbour, northwest of town, on last Sunday, where we were most hospitably entertained. Mr. Barbour has all the modern conveniences for farming.

A large barn 42x7-1 feet, corn cribs, tool house, work shop, milk shed, wind mill, together with the convenient division of his farm into the vari ous fields and pens necessary, makes farming comparatively easy for him. is carp pond is an interesting feature. A visit to this comfortable home will well repay anybody for tho time spent. The senior editor broke awav from his desk on Monday long enough to go to Independence and return. He stopped at the Caldwell House, and the hospitable manner which lie was entertained by Mr.

and Mrs. Hoober, will Have the effect of increasing his visits to the county seat. The Caldwell is one of the best kept, most cosy and inviting hotels in Cue country. Everything is comfortable and the tables are provided with the lest that can be had. Mrs.

He is deserving of credit for this act. The people of our county have this build-1 ing to pay for, and no reasonable taan can figure out that it is not their property. If the conventions of the pecpic should not be held there, wl ere thru should they be held? It is neither too nice nor too costly for them to occupy.

Undek the proper head in this issue will be found the announcement of Alexander Nash for the nomination for Superintendent of Public Instruction of our county. Mr. Nash Is a graduate of Asbury University, at Greencastle, and of the Terra Haute Normal School.

The Democratic organs are working themselves into a frenzy in their efforts to make their readers believe that the United States treasury is bankrupt Acting Secretary of the Treasury Ocorge S. Uatchelor, smiled when shown the tale of woe, decorated with startling headlines, declaring that deScit for the present fiscal year of lully 43,000,000 might bo expected, and said: "No man acquainted with the financial condition of the govern ment will give these stories the slightest credence. This article is a mass of misstatements.

In the first place it places the sinking fund at $100,000,000, whereas it is but $50,000,000. It gives no credit for $90,000,000 cash in the treasury nor for the 500,000,000 fund to redeem national bank notes. It charges $20,000,000 for demands made under the River and Harbor bill, but only half this expenditure will be made the hrst year. In other cases appropria tions arc charged up to a single year. the expenditure of which covers sever al years.

The saving in the collection of revenue will make reduction of rev enue much less than as es timated by the framers of theMcKinley bill. In other words, the estimated .1 ii-uucuun vi levenue uy tins Dill is based upon collections made in preced ing years. Since this administration was inaugurated the utmost care has been enac ted in the collection of duties, and particularly since the administrative Custom bill became a law. So great has been the increase therefrom that nearly half the estimated reduc tion in revenue resultant from the Mc- Kinley bill will be made rip by honest collections. The surplus still exists There is between 830,000,000 and 000,000 worth of it.

No alarm may be felt as to a threatened deficiency." CANCER OF THB LIP. -1 sintered from Cancer on my lip that defied the skill of the best phy sicians of the State.

Is the author of several very excel lent measures fcr putting more money into circulation. The census returns show that four cities in the United States have each a population of 900,000 or over, while no other city in the Union rises to the dig nity of half a million souls.

Politicians would do well to remem ber that the power in this country is still'in the hands of the people, and that office-holders are the creatures of the people, to be made or unmade dy them. Kansas City, Missouri elected Republican Treasurer last Saturday, by over 1500 majority over the Demo cratic candidate. Everything seems to be coming to the G. "Let's holler!" The conference committee of the Senate and House, by a vote of five to one, has agreed to report favorably on the Wilson bill, and it will be taken up for consideration to-day. The indi cations are that it will be passed with but little opposition.

The Peoples ticket has thus-far failed to arouse much enthusiasm in this section of the county. There are some real good, clever men on it, but such" do not always receive the ai-plause of their fellows especially when they are on the declining side. Thoe sensitive gentlemen who are now running about the country hunt ing the Republican party, are kindly and candidly assured that the G. O. is at home, in robust health, ready for its rations and preparing to elect the entire state and county tickets this fall.

The farmers are having something to say in politics this year. It is the farmer year, and the little political schemers had better take notice of the fact pretty soon. The farmers will re-elect Ingalls to the Uuited States Senate, and Humphrey and the whole Republican ticket in Kansas. sifted down to its simple meaning, the great bugaboo "force bill" which is so worrying Democratic statesmen, is simply a demand that the Constitution and laws of the United States should not remain dead letters, but every man should be allowed to cast his ballot and have his ballot counted What is there wrong in that? Since the interest-bearing debt of the United States has been decreased almost more than one half. The indebtedness per capita is but little over one-lhird and the an nual" interest scarcely exceeds one-fourth of what it was ten yesrs ago 1 igures arc infallible, and they speak exceedingly well of Repubcican finan cienng.

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean, subscribes and pays for two hundred newspapers It is the way he has of keeping plumb with public sentiment. A great many politicians who have been made from the ground up by the newspapers, da not seem to know the fact, and in fact the newspapers don't care to brag of their work. Huntingdon (Pa.) Jouknal; John St. John, the blather skite, who is always found laboring in directly for the success of the Democratic party, under the thin guise of Prohibition, has thus early in the campaign turned up -in Pennsylvania. He must have scented boodle from afar, and is on hand ready for the tappinrof Boss Scott's bar'l.

TnE Republican county convention has called. Now let every Re publican take note of the date of the primaries and participate in them. The Republican farmers of Montgom ery county have it in their power to nominate just such a ticket as they de sire by simply attending the primaries. The Republican party is and has al ways been the only real people's party. With United States bonds of every species away above par, there is no rea son why the National banks should not be allowed to issue currency to the face value of their bond deposits instead of to only ninety per cent of that value, as the law now directs.

Mr. Sherman, who is the ablest Cnancinr in public life, has reported to the Senate a bill which authorizes this, and it would be well for that bill to become a law. Among the county officials who will retire after the next election, Treas urer M. F. Wood and Court Clerk W.

Simpson have a host of friends who would be glad if they could be re tained. They have conducted their offices with such ability and fairness that they have won the admiration of the people of the entire county, and they will retire with the best wishes of all who ever transacted business with them. Thb ticket nominated last Saturday is com posed of one democrat, one union laborite and the remainder are republicans. Under these circumstances we are unable to give our democratic friends a great deal of conso lation. Kansan.

Well, hardly! You see, the thing did not pan out jast as the Democratic bosses intended it should. They paid so much attention to the County At torney matter that the other places fell into the hands of the Republicans. It was a great disappointment to the schemers. If the whiskey sellers decido to test the constitutionality of the original package bill it will go hard w.rtb. them.

Whether constitutional or uiicontilu- tional it will be enforced until declared void and such eminent lawyers as Ed munds, Wilson, George, Ingalls, in the sen ate and as many others in the house, are on record in tho opinion that the bill is perfectly constitutional and that the supreme court in suggesting each a measure intimated its 'intention to declare it legal.

W. W. Mayes, who is associated with Prof. G. C.

The course includes short hand, typewriting, and plain and ornamental penmanship. Our Commercial course embraces book-keeping theory. cmuidtua uouii-Keeping banking and actual business, arithmetic, commercial law, business pny, English grammar and rhetoric, business writing, with a practical cuise in letter-writing and olrice work.

They had more of the result of their excavations than Ihev could dispose of on the right of way, so the council sent in a lot of teams and had the gravel hauled on the streets at various points.
