It is a close fight and the situa-; tion is complicated. The situation is just this, if President Roosevelt wants Long to be senator the Curtis forces will have to go to him and elect him. Senator Burton may not like it but he does not have any alternative. On the other hand if the president does not care who is senator Stanley stands the best show. Mr.

Bowersock has nine votes and his chance is in the leading candidates being unable to agree. George Clark, the newly elec ted state printer, is a deserving man. He started in life as a printer on the old Topeka Common wealth. Afterwards he went to Junction City and started the Republican. He ran it for fifteen years and became president of the state board of charities.

So well did he do his work that he was nominated and elected sec retary of state. Now he steps out of that office into another one much better. Clark is a rattling VV-U XV1IV VV CllJAJ. 11 J. 1111V AiA5 1 1 the party is honoring a good man.

His political methods are past finding out. He must have a rabbit's foot concealed about his person somewhere that brings him all this luck. The Spirit of Winter The Spirit of Winter i9 with us, making its presence known in many different ways sometimes by cheery sunshine, glistening snows, and sometimes by driv ing winds and blinding storms, 'lo many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worsa. for rheumtism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and tho many symptoms of scrofula are developed and aggravated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments.

The medicine that cures them Hood's Sarsaparilla is easily obtained and there is abundant proof that its cures are radical and permanent. Midland. Pearl Corder is on the sick list. Frank Miller went to Kansas City Monday to enlist in the navy 23 Wm. Campbell is baling bay for M.

A. Wood this week. We received a card from Harold Lewis stating that he had passed examination for the navy on the 17th and would leave for duty that evening, Harold had worked oi H. Corder the past month and made many friends everywhere. Mr and Mrs Wm.

Campbell royally entertained a party of friends Saturday evening. The evening was spent in games and dancing. Frank Anderson and Mrs C. Cherry won the honors as the best players and MrG. Simmons and Mrs Charlton the booby prize.

All went home feeling that they had enjoyed a pleasant evening. We are told that Schultz Brothers contemplate rebuilding the mill. This fire was a big loss to the neighborhoo as well as to Mesrs Schultz. Arthur Campbell, of th3 firm of Hughes Campell, was calling on friends here Sunday. Verne Randall visited friends here Thursday.

Mr Jacobson of North Lawrence, was buying coal here last week. Fred Heck is hauling stone prepara tory to building a house in the spring. Some of the North Lawrence street loafers and bums came out here Satur day evening and tried to give a concert but it was a failure. Those present went to the store to buy some eggs to present to them but the supply was not sufficient for the occasion and the boys were allowed to go home in peace. Miss Frances Albert, formerly teacher of this school, was calling on friends Sunday.

Little George Smith is very sick at present. THE NEW COACH. Weeks, of nichigan. to Land the Place at K. Weeks, captain of last years loot ball team of Michigan university, was met at Kansas City yesterday by Geo.

O. Foster, and they came back together. The preliminaries are all arranged for Weeks to coach the university team the coming year. He has a good record as a coach and his coming has inspired the friends of the gridiron with new courage and hopefulness. He plays a great game, has a genius for football, and is an apt pupil of the great Ycst.

To get this pupil and descipile of Yost here would give football a great boom. While no definite announcement is ready to be made, is is known that the question of a coach is virtually a closed incident. LAWRENCE, JANUARY 22, 1903- Colorado is having two legislatures. A legislature is not such i good thing that any state needs two. The papers that are abusing Cy Leland will not disturb him much as long as he is able to get what he wants.

Senator Tillman says the wonder is that mobs do not rise in this country. They were talking of it in the case ofhis nephew. P. O. Poponoe seems to be back in Topeka.

We wonder if he really did make that big pile of money in Costo Rico and if he has paid up? That must have been a mighty scrawny office in Hawaii that could not find a man and had to be abolished. Such a thing is not to the credit of the Hungry Horde. The legislature is determined to pass a law making it a serious crime to steal chickens. Meanwhile a man can go to a grave yard and steal a whole family without running any risk. How the Kansas legislators must envy the Missourians.

There are four employes in the Missouri legislature for every member. The pressure in Kansas is just as strong and the Kansas fellows 'have done well to keep the number down to two for each member. The Topeka push are daring Representative Linton to disregard a petition of old soldiers who have, petitioned him how to vote for senator. He'll do it all right. A petition is not worth much, represents the industry of the circulator.

The selection of George Clark as state printer is a victory for organization. Clark did not trail over the state, never made a speech, never claimed that the party owed him anything. He simply talked to tha members of the legislature and had his friends talk also. He is a splen did organizer and won. The determined effort to embarrass Gov.

Bailey will not injure him for the very good reason that the men back of it have tried that same game before and the people would have none of it. Gov. Bailey will be given a chance before the people and that is after all what counts. Insincerity is evident on the part of the New Englanders who are so determined' that the colored man shall have his rights in the south. These same people object strenuously to a colored man as assistant prosecutor in Boston.

They want the southern man to have his rights in the south but object when it comes home to them. These long range idealists are disgusting. While the selection of a state printer is an important matter it has no bearing on legislation and mighty little on politics. It is true that the sentiment of the state was for Ed. Hoch but Geo.

Clark won a fair fight and is to be congratulated. A man is entitled to just what he can get in politics and Mr. Clark has had a run of good luck. The fuss the Topeka papers make about the machine is silly. It was simply one machine against another.

Had Hoch won straightway it would have been grasped as an indication that thej Leland machine was breaking down and that Curtis was getting stronger. However, the chances are that it cuts no figure one way or the other. The writer hereof has known Clark a good many years and he is a rattling good fellow. -OF- Muslin Underwear Laces and Embroideries A'biglot of new arrivals at a saving o-25per cent.

The material for the new bridge has arrived. Mike Katherman is building a new barn. Flory finished husking corn Saturday. Louis Creel has gone into the thoroughbred hog business. Frank Fishburn is disposing of his personal belongings.

Friday Davis is clerking for Flory. The wheat looks sick; too much dry windy weather. Elmer Sawyer has bought Mrs Dora Sawyer's farm. He will vacate these parts in the spring. John North bought 1 Hoover's 10 acre tract of land located southwest of Star.

It is still quite a puzzle about the Orient railroad. It makes us feel like casting our eyes toward heaven and crying in the voice of the southern congressman and the Lone Star Solomon, "Where are you at?" The oyster supper at the hall Saturday evening came off in good shape. A good program was rendered, the main reature of which was Dr. Allen, the famous bone rattler. A Grand Hunt.

Editor of the World. Jan 19, 1903: Some of the readers of the Worli would be interested in our great hunting grounds, located seven miles west of the ono mile south, known as the Barber district. Jan 14 was set for the day's hunting, fifteen on each side, but only twenty-two men turned out. Two men were chosen as captains, fcleessher 'and Elmer Kay. The result of the day's hunting was; Mr Sleessher's side brought in 149, the.

Ray side G2; 202 cottontails, 4 jacks and 5 squirrels, 211 all told. The loosing side had to sell the game and furnish the oysters. The rabbits was sold in Lawrence for $10.85, this paid for the oysters and crackers. We thank the good people of Lawrence for buying our rabbits, and 1 assure you we enjoyed the oyster supper; four tables were spreid with this delicious dish. There were G7 sat down to this supper.

It was such a pleasure to sit down and see the young nimrods with their aprons on serving the steaming oysters. We are proud cf our neighborhood, there is such a kind feeling among all. that we felt sorry, when we had to part. The funeral of Wm, McCabria, who ied at Fall Leaf, was held Wednesday afternoon and was in charge of the G. A.

R. Not one of life's miseries is greater than the toothache. Words cannot adequately describe the comforts'of a clean mouth.

It would be mighty hard on Senator Tillman's nephew if the people of his own state should take his advice about lynchin cr A sensational Was i newspaper is trying to make a fight on Bristow in order to attract attention. It will not hurt him. Bristow has been barked at before.

Senator Cubbison is quite a man. He stands hitched. He insisted upon an open ballot for senator and was not ashamed to have it known how he liked it. He voted openly for Bowersock. Two years ago the Burton crowd run rough shod over the opposition wing in the party in the legislature.

Now that the tables are turned these same fellows are howling like children who stub their toes. Things are queer in politics. Two years ago it was all right for M. A. Low to dictate in politics but this year it is all wrong for Leland, who is a member of the legislature, to have anything to say about legislative business.

A professional revivalist has just closed a meeting in Ottawa and he said in closing that the newspapers never get things right. Perhaps he has been expecting too much of the newspapers. They have other things to do besides catering to him and his wants. There is no more reason why he should use the newspapers than any other business should. Baker university boasts of an attendance of 890.

Baker has been climbing up fast of recent years. All the schools have been doing well but Baker has been doing the best of all. It is a great school and the people of Kansas are proud of it. Tworepublican members of the Colorado legislature have refused to become a party to the rump organization of the house. There ought to be more.

If it is necessary for the republicans to override the will of the people and the law of the land in order to elect a member, then they should be defeated. While there is a keen personal disappointment in the defeat of E. Hoch it is a consolation that the successful man is one who deserved well of his fellows. Geo. Clark has lived all his life in Kansas and his success has been marked.

He lias alwavs been loyal to his friends and faithful to the trusts imposed in him. After pounding Vringle over the head for weeks, maligning him in every possible way and calling him traitor hundreds of times, the Topeka papers are sur prised that he is voting for Cur tis. The fact is that Pringle did not pay any attention to the on slaughts of the Topeka push. He knew his business and went about it. He took the ground that thesenatorship should not have entered into the fight and after being elected under fire he is do ing what he proposed to do be fore being so soundly abused.

The surprise in the voting on senator by open ballot was that it showed that Enright had gone back on Bowersock. Enright should not have done that. He owed a good deal to Bowersock He seemstohave made'his peace for the other crowd suddenly for at the Wichita convention he re fused to line up for Bailey. A month before the convention he could have named his delegation of Bailey men and settled the gub ernatorial contest but he refused to do it. Now he has made hi peace and gone back on his sec ond district friends.

Prof. Dyche is taking almost as much interest in chickens as he used to take in Polar bears. Prof. Blackmar spoke on the trusts and their remedy before the university club in Kansas City Saturday night. The man with the fur overcoat is a resident of Montana.

That is the kind of a coat they wear out there where it is so cold. Ted Haas, who sold his farm in Willow Springs township a couple of months ago, has purchased the Johnson farm in the same township. "The Christian" which is coming here next Saturday night is a much better company than is playing the same play in Kansas City. That is home talent. The university bonds bugaboo was all a scara and it did not frighten anyone.

There is little likelihood of the case now pending in Johnson county ever coming to trial. Dr. Otto Von Mueller who will be remembered by the people of this city, announces that he will be permanently at Pittsburg. Von Mueller is a good deal of a fraud. The Orient railroad people are busy getting the right of way through this county.

After it secured they will doubtless come forward with a bond proposition. Do you know what has become of that patriarchial- individual whose Ion? hair attracted so much attention? He just had his hair cut and looks quite ordi nary now. Notice the new fashion about parting the hair? The middle part is passing out. The young man who just lifted his hat had his hair parted on the side and he was untra fashionable. Abe Wolfson has only been in business here for three years and yet he packed up his trunks and went to Excelsior Springs today for ten days recuperation.

Next year he will goto Atlantic 3ity. B. Peairs told the council last night that the government road had cost $3,000, and in the twelve years it had been in use only about $50 had been spent in repairs. The man J. B.

Flora who stole John Bankers horse, was about to perpetrate a swindle in Miami county similar to the one he had worked in Franklin county when the officers got after him for stealing a horse. Crooks ought to be more careful how they get Douglas county officials on their trail. The cheap guy who is making such a poor out ralming ctf poor goods upon the public in this city reminds us of tho man out in western Kansa3 who pretended he was an old soldier and was not. The people living jn the vicinity became tired of his blowing about his soldier record and caught him one morning in front of a timber claim. He wa? taken to a large tree on the claim and one end of hij bowels taken out and nailed to the tree.

He was then driven round and round until he had entirely unravelled himself. Dr. Morse's school days were brought to mind last week by receiviug the message of Governor Lucius Garvin of Rhode Island. Dr. Garvin, who wa3 elected governor last fall, was a member of the class in which Dr.

Morse graduated from Amherst forty-one years ago. He is ademocratbut waselect-ed from a republican state. Dr. Garvin served sixteen consecutive terms in the legislature from his district and is thoroughly informed in regard to the needs of his state. Of 54 graduates in the class of '02, thirty-eight are still living.

An actor was lounging in the Window the other day and the talk turned to publicity. He said that while the average actor received few personal notices they are looked forward to as heartily as a man does to seeing his best girl. The players are anxious for what they call 'hands" in a performance and count them. A large subject of conversation is the number of "hands" they received at this, that or the other place and the splendid press notices they received. All vieing for publicity and recognition, makes them more jealous of each other than people in any other line.

Kaw Valley Fred Jacks went to Overbrook Tuesday. Albert Schaake is on the sick list. Wm. Harris lost a fine horse Monday, Wm. Hughes is still in Kansas City and reported no better.

George Bowman has moved to town to look after his interests there. Now, what we want to know is what Harry Emmet lost in the valley. Four ton of coal passed through the valley Wednesday without being held up. Conductor Church Paralyzed. Word was received from Kansas City that Conductor George Church, of the Panhandle express, is stricken with paralysis.

He was at his home in Kansas City Sunday, when he felt the first attack of the disease. One side i3 entirely paralyzed and Mr Church has partly lost bis voice. Conductor Church formerly had headquarters in this city and is favorably known among the rail road men as well as a large circle of friends in the city. A letter from Mrs Church states that Mr Church's condition is serious and that he has been taken to the Topeka hospital. Ottawa Herald.

Mr Church used to run on the Southern Kansas. He used to go into a frenzy whenever a Baldwin man presented a clergyman's permit Fairview Items The friends of Mr and Mrs A Downs gave them a most delightful surprise on last Saturday evening, the occasion being their twentyfifth redding anniversary. Mr Dunning had prepared a very suitable speech fjr the occasion, which he delivered Mr and Mrs Downs, and then presented them with a most beautifulsilver tea set, from the company. The ladies brought a very bountiful, and delicious lunch. The evening was spent iu the most dtlight-ul manner, and all enjoyed themselves.
