John Higham, Northeast Corner of Square. Bbbott'e Dot Some of our competitors told our customers that the Beauty Pins we advertised at One Penny each were no good and of course tried to sell them the same goods for 5c each, because they were so much better than Abbott's. But you can't fool the people all the time with high prices. We will have another invoice of them by the middle or last of this week and we'll sell them at the same price One Penny Each. A good many were disappointed because we did not have enough of the beauty pins last Saturday to supply the demand, but we couldn't help that, we did the best we could, and as soon as they were all sold we telegraphed to New York for 300 dozen and just as soon as they arrive, (which will not be later than Saturday morning) they will be put on sale at the old price One Penny Each.

LAP ROBES. People wonder how we can sell so good a robe for Nineteen Cents when others want three or four times as much for one that is no better than ours. They are going out very fast, and it's doubtful if we will be able to purchase any more of them at the old price. One of the Goffs merchants wanted to buy the whole lot, and said he could sell them all for 50c each, but we refused to sell them to him as we bought them for our customers and not for merchants. LADIES' WRAPPERS.

Another invoice of them just in and we will continue to sell them for Sixty Eight Cents. You can't get them made for that price say nothing about the cost of the material. DUCK SKIRTS We're selling them them at Forty Nine Cents Each. One of the Holton papers printed it in last week's issue as Duck Shirts. If the editor of that paper is a married man he ought to consult his wife before going to press, and if he isn't married he should consult some other man's wife.

FLOUR. You all know about the flour we sell. Gold Coin, Standard A and White Rose and you know that it's the best flour sold in Jackson County. All next week we'll sell it as follows: .4 Rare Noah Sanderson. Noah Sanderson, who aspires to the Republican nomination for sheriff of Jackson county, was born in Hocking county, Ohio, In the year 1855, and came with his parents to Jackson county in 1868.

He has therefore lived on this mundane sphere upwards of thirty years, not counting the thirteen years which through no fault of his he wasted Ohio. All the Sandersons as far back as we have traced them have been stalwart lepublicans, and the subject of this brief sketch is one of the stalwartest of the clan. Mr. Sanderson was raised on the farm, and farming and stock feed- ng has been his principle buBineBS since he grew to manhood. He served two terms as constable of Cedar township and thus gained some experience which will be useful to him if he is elected sheriff.

Mr. Sanderson ia a pleasant congenial gentleman and haB many friends in different parts of the county who will be glad to see him successful in his ambition. Hrs. Scott's Recital. The annual recital by the pupils of Mrs.

Minnie T. Scott occurred Monday evening at the opera house. As has been the case on previous occasions. every seat in the house was occupied, and the close attention paid the per formers indicated that the audience was well entertained. In addition to the piano numbers by the pupils, there were two readings by Miss Virgiline Mulvane, of Topeka, which added materially to the enjoyment of the pro gram.

Miss Mulvane is quite well known to Holton audiences and her readings are invariably received with much pleasure and enthusiasm. Miss Frances Thomas, who is the possessor of a rich contralto voice, sane "Spring Night" by Schumann, and Mrs. Flora Scott-Rinehard delighted the audience with a waltz song, 'Sing On" by Luigi-Denza. The pupils who participated in the program were Misses Emma McLin, Anna Walker, Myrtle Grimes, Edna Riederer, Grace Moore, Agnes Logan, Mata Davis, Ruth Tudor, Elsie Ashton, Olivena Podvant, Charlotte Myers, Adalene Rogers, Mary Swetlick, Bern- ice Brown, Eleanor Logau, Georgia Allison, Irene Kaul, Fay Bradley, Cressie Becker, Maude Mathews and May Nichols. President E.

H. Scott, of Kansas City, ALE We will sell SATURDAY, 21 Clock at Higham's 1 FUBLDC A clock the person amount count at Seth Also a $10 with a the highest at 90c That they are more religious seems to be conceded by everybody even the women themselves admit it. The congregations at prayer meetings are about three parts women ana one part men. Four times out of live when a pastor of a church wants anything done he calls the female portion of his flock together and puts them at it. A woman will make as much sacrifice for her church and do it even more readily than a man will for his party.

About two-thirds of the church mem- bers are women. We all know a good many men who facetiously style themselves brothers-in law to the church members. Did you ever know sisters-in-law? The choir leader always has trouble in getting and keeping base and tenor singers. He has soprano and alto, if not to throw at the birds, sufficient to drown their noise. As a rule a woman has a supreme contempt for what the average man has to say about church matters.

She thinks his opinions are not worth listen ing to. Moat women are willing- to sacrifice even their desire to follow the fashions when insisted on, but whoever heard of a man willing to make sacrifice of his desires and pleasures to the cause of Christianity? Many men when they get too old or too sick to enioy worldly pleasures, become almost as religious as women. If a majority of men did not attend to their business or profession with any more zeal than they give to the cause of their Master, three-fourths of them would be bankrupt inside of twelve months. If the orthodox idea of the conditions of getting to Heaven are true, three- fourths of the population of that better land will be women. There are some men who profess to be, Republicans for instance, but who not only vote the Democratic ticket, where their votes will accomplish the defeat of the Republican candidate.but they are everlastingly kicking and raising "Uia JNea in tneir party.

These people remind us of some profess ing Christians, who are to the cause of Christianity what these kickers are to the cause of their party, a detriment rather than a help. If candidates did not run for office with any more zeal and consistency than most men run for Heaven, they would be snowed under on election day eo badly that their chances of polit ical resurrection would not be any better than that of Senator Billy Mason, of Illinois. JERKY'S PAPER. Jerry Simpson has gone into the newspaper Dusioess ana startea tne Bayonet at Wichita. Jerry, here is our We suppose when Jerry orders his book-keeper to enter on his books what is due him from subscribers he will give the order, "Charge This is a habit, we suppose, Jerry ac quired when he was in the three months' service in camp in southern Illinois before he resigned and went back to see his wife's people in Canada.

Jerry will find considerable differ ence Detween oeing in congress ana in the newspaper business. In Congress he had such plugs as Tom Reed, Case Broderick and Charley Curtis to contend with and triumph over, now he will find such foeman as McConnell, Will White. Clyde McManigal, George Harrison, Colonel Major Jeltz, Calamity Ann and others arrayed against him if he wabbles either to the right or left. It is one thing to get off jokes on an opponent and make the rabble laugh at cute sayings, but its quite another and different thing to print stuff in a news paper where spelling and grammer become important considerations. Jerry says he is opposed to sending any more freaks to Congress from Kansas.

He probably thinks freaks are all right in the newspaper business. We are afraid Jerry has "overdid" the thing in giving his paper a name. About the tamest and flattest paper we ever saw was called the "Wasp," while on the other hand a paper called the "Pacificator," with the motto "Peace on Earth Goodwill to Men," developed into-a scrapper of the most virulent sort. If the anti-expansionists should have their way, in a few years, when every nook and corner of this country became filled up, there would bo no place for young, enterprising, live, wide-awake Americans to go and make their home under the Stars and Stripes. Russia has a vast unsettled domain, England has colonies for their enterprising young men to thrive in, Germany and France ere acquiring territory, and if the United States was to allow rusty corroded Democracy to prevail, enter prising young men would soon have to leave the "land of the free and home of the brave," when they wanted to grow up in a new country.

The story that Funston is red headed probably originated with some badly scared Filipino. Fred's hair is not the same shade of red as George Martin's, yet the two men have some character istics in common when they get after their enemies. sow delicious and wholesome NEW YORK. J. W.

ncConnell. J. W. McConnell, whose announce ment lor county treasurer appears in this issue, was born in Ohio in 1844, but with his parents moved to Missouri be fore the war, and was a resident of that border state during the unpleasantness. The McConnells being for the Union meant that they had a more or less lively time of it politically.

J. as soon as he was old enough, joined the state militia and for about two years was on duty as a soldier keeping order in that very disorderly state. Early in 1865 he organized a company of which he was chosen captain, for the United States service, but the war ending prevented their being mustered in. After the war he entered the United States railway mail service, in which he continued for eight years. Some twelve years ago he moved to Denison and went iuto tho mercantile business, in which occupation he has since been engaged.

Four years ago he was a candi date for the nomination to this office and was a close second to Mr. Abel, who received the nomination. Mr. McConnell has been one of the active leaders of Republicanism in Garfield township, and the fact that it was redeemed from Populism last year and sent in a small Republican majority was due to such earnest workers as Mr. McConnell.

Mr. McConnell is a good safe business man, and if elected will doubtless make a good safe county treasurer. Harmon Clark. Attention of readers is called to Har mon Clark's announcement, published elsewhere in this issue. Mr.

Clark has made a record as an efficient and pop ular county officer. If there has been a single complaint made we have failed to hear it. We have every reason therefore to believe that tho record he has kept in the register's office is accurate and reliable. Mr. Clark is a native of Indiana, but came with his parents to this county thirty years ago when but a boy.

He has been one of the active Republicans of Franklin township for years, and it has been through the efforts of such workers as he that the township has been transformed from Populism to Republicanism. Mr. Clark has many friends who will be glad to see him renominated and re-elected. W. H.

Reasoner. W.H. Reasoner, whose name appears in our announcement column as a candidate for sheriff has been a citizen of the county ten years, and is well known to most of our readers. For the past two years he has been in the employ, of Logan Logan of this city as a piano and organ salesman. Four years ago he was a candidate for the nomination for sheriff, and was defeated.

He proved himself the same true, zealous Republican in defeat that he would have been if nominated. He has been a staunch Republican ever since he has been a voter. He was under-sheriff for a considerable portion of a term, some four or five years ago, and so far as we know gave excellent satisfaction. He is industrious, intelligent, and apparently capable in every way to perform the duties of the office. Death of firs.

"SICII IS FAME." The New York Tribune prints Tom McNeal'a fable about the donkey objecting to be ridden by the Boston mugwump, and credits it to the Toledo Mail. It turns out that General Funston Mokes the food more HOVAl BAKIMQ M. C. Klingman, editor of the Effing ham New Leaf, died at St. Louis, Mon day.

The operation which was performed upon him on Saturday last was apparently successful, but the shock to Mr. Klingman proved too severe. He leaves a wife and three daughters. mere is a coiorea woman down in Texas who tips the beam at 447 pounds. She is said to be strong in proportion to her size.

As an illustration of her strength and nerve, she was riding a mustang which refused to cross a bridge. She dismounted, tied the animals legs and carried it across on her shoulder, after which she mounted and pursued her journey. The expenses of the state penitenti ary for the month of April were 758.10. The receipts were $2,152.87. According to theBe figures the institution lacked just $9,605.23 of being self-supporting for that month.

This great difference between receipts and ex penditures is partly due to Pop mis management and partly to fool dema gogue legislation. The Democratic papers are giving ex-Governor Leedy credit for appoint ing Funston colonel. The same papers are criticizing Governor Stanley for passing over Lieutenant Colonel Little and appointing Major Metcalf, colonel to succeed Funston. They do not mention the fact that Metcalf was appointed on General Funston's recom mendation. Consistency is a jewel that does not adorn many Pop newspaper men.

A sensational fair management at Wichita wants General Funston and some of his men to swim the Arkansas in October for $1,000. This will prob ably not be the only fool proposition the regiment will have to encounter when it comes home. Tonganoxie Mir ror. The Boy Orator of the Platte" will probably find that he has been super ceded by the Aquatic Boy General of the Bagbag when it comes to gate re ceipts at the county fairs next fall. In view of the fact Admiral Dewey is said to be worth about 000, the scheme to purchase and pre sent him a home by his admirers is not commendable.

In addition to this large fortune, the admiral's salary is about seven or eight hundred dollars per month, and he has but one son, who is self-supporting. A contribution to some poor family who is homeless and suffering for the necessaries of life would be more in keeping with Christianity. They have a "ball alley" controversy up at Hiawatha, and that staid conservative village is allowing itself to be all t'frWA tin" Atran Dna nJf ivon vcr Vi favors the "enterprise terms it a vital issue. We once had such a "vital issue" here in Holton, in our pioneer days before modern civilization spread its benign and enlightening influence abroad over the town, but Mayor Jim Lowell settled the "issue" mighty quick. He did it with his little veto.

The ex-Confederate soldiers who met a few days ago in a southern city concluded that they did not want the Federal government to care for the graves of the Confederate dead. This is one of the best streaks of sense that has em i oated from an old soldier's meeting for a long time. The sentiment that makes the surviving ex-Boldiera of the lost cause desire to keep the graves of their dead comrades green is a beautiful one, and one that everybody whose opinion is worth anything respects. It may be true, as the Signal says, that the the Sherman anti-trust law is inef fective in suppressing trusts. It is a question whether or not a law can be framed that will accomplish the object, But this law, passed by a Republican congress and signed by a Republican president was an honest, earnest effort to accomplish the object.

Will the Signal point to any effort, honest or otherwise, ever made by the Democrats when that party had both branches of congress, the executive and supreme court, to suppress trusts. There are grave threatenings of trouble with the Cuban army which refuses to be disbanded and to surren der up their arms. They do not consider the $3,000,000 voted by congress, a sufficient remuneration for their services, in behalf of their liberty. It would serve them right if congress wonld get together and withdraw the appropriation and the troops that are keeping order down there. They are turning out to be just such a lot of scallawags as The Recokdee, more than a year ago, said they were.

It makes an economical man' heart tick to see a woman walking along the street, trailing a silk lined demi-train skirt along a dusty sidewalk. POWOEM was present, and at the conclusion of the program, presented Miss Emma McLin and Mis Myrtle Grimes with certificates of graduation, they having completed the work of the Inter-state course under Mrs. Scott. This year Mrs. Scott introduced an inovation in the way of medals as rewards of merit among her pupils.

They were won by the following: Gold medal for highest grade in piano work. Interstate Course, Miss Elsie Ashton. Silver medal for highest grade in piano work, outside Interstate Course, Miss Adalene Rogers, Kan. Silver medal, competitive written examination, Miss Fay Bradley. There were three others who received the same grade as Miss Bradley Miss Emma McLin, Miss Cressie Becker' and Miss Elsie Ashton.

The painstaking work of Mrs. Scott as a teacher is evident in the progres of her pupils, and though the program Monday night did not include all numbers of an advanced grade of music, the playing of each one displayed that thorough preparation so essential to the beginner. Mrs. Scott has had a highly successful year, and her classes have been so well filled as to demand almost her en-tiro time in the class room. Her reputation as a competent teacher is becoming still more firmly established, and the increasing patronage is a reward for her earnest and conscientious efforts.

He got across, however, where he accomplished his object, which was the main thing Fred Funston is thirty-three years old and is said to be the youngest general living. General James H. Wilson who is now in command of a province iu Guba, was a major general at the age of twenty-eight, and commanded the cavalry corps of the western army the last year of the war of the Rebellion.

Those fellows who want to bring out General Funston for some political office just to show Cy. Leland that he can not run things his own way, certainly miscalculate Cy'a resources. Leland will be about the first man in the state to discover the real situation, and if he rinds the general is going to win he will at once join the procession, falling in right at the head of the column.

Grant throwing themselves away on Europe's degenerate royalty and aristocracy is a sight to make the Goddess of Liberty cry her eyes out-Some of the people of Atchison are kicking because the Presbyterian minister in that city engaged a young and inexperienced preacher to fill his pulpit one Sunday when he was away.

We wonder how the Atchison people think minister is ever to get experience unless he it allowed to practice. Possibly they think they are too cultured to listen to a novice, and that the country churches should furnish the training cscstsary to educate the preacher op ta their high plane.
