Now, Mr. Reh, you are either ignorant of the facts concerning ray former political views or are responsible for a base misstatement. We trust this explanation will be sufficient for you.

Had you been as well known to every reader of the county papers as you are in Home-wood this reply would have been unnecessary, but your prominence is not as extensive as their circulation. Geo. B. Dailey. THE KELLEY CASE DISMISSED.

For about one minute, last Tuesday opinion on South Main street was divided between two conclusions. The town had either been hit by a cyclone or was in the jthroes of a seismic disturbance. The Guy general store was the center of the commotion. Without any warning fifty feet of shelving on the north side of the room, heavily loaded with dry goods and furnishings, went down with a crash. Mrs.

Egger-man, who has charge of the dry goods department, stood between the shelving and the counter and. was caught in the wreckage. She saw the shelving tipping toward her and realizing that it was impossible to escape before the mass fell, she crouched down and was fairly buried beneath a heap of dry goods and shelving. The goods on the top shelves were thrown promiscuously over the room by the fall, and several show cases were smashed. When the crash came one or two of the clerks ran wildly out of the store but afterward, realizing what had happened, they returned and assisted in removing the goods to release Mrs.

The lady was found to have been bruised about the head and neck but Dr. Gilley, who was in the neighborhood when the crash came, stated that her injuries were in no way serious. Considerable time was consumed in getting the scattered goods back into place, and a curious crowd was attracted to the store. Mr. Guy estimates his loss, from broken show cases and shelving and damaged goods, at $100.

The shelving was too heavily loaded, which fact caused the accident. are 112 teachers employed.

Jenks, attorney for defendant, Judge, Riggs dismissed the case against Grocer J.

W. Kelley last Tuesday. The case came into district court on an appeal from police court. Kelley was charged with illegally selling cider. S.

W. Weddington swore in police court that he had bought cider of Kelley in quantities of less than one gallon, and that he had also been given and permitted to drink cider at Kelley 's store. The first count against Kelley was for selling cider in quantities less than one gallon. A second was for giving away and permiitipg cider to be drunk on his premises. A third, charging illegal sale of intoxicants, was dismissed.

On each of the other two counts Kelley was given $25 and costs in police court. An insufficiency of information caused the dismissal of the first count by Judge Riggs. In the second the court held that the city ordinance could not prohibit the giving away of cider. Rev, O. P.

Cook Draws a Theme from the Galveston Hurricane The Riches That Perish. Rev. O. P. Cook, pastor of the Christian church, preached a sermon on the lessons to be drawn from the Galveston hurricane Sunday evening.

In the introduction the pastor referred to his personal acquaintance with the city and the island, being familiar with many places now in ruins. He referred to the people as an ease-loving, pleasure-seeking people, caring little for the outside world. He said: "When I picked up the daily the other day and read of that terrible hurricane and of Galveston, at once there came to my mind this text, 'A man's life con-sisteth not in the abundance of things he possesseth. Galveston was the home of capitalist, and there he lived measuring life by dollars and cents. He enjoyed his money, his ease, and the many selfish pleasures the island afforded.

Now his home is gone, his family desolate, and in some instances his own life lost. What record has he made that is lasting? What deeds done for humanity that will live? Had his time and his money been used to make life's path smoother for some ene, how much more might life have meant to himself and others." The fact that "He that liveth in pleasure is dead while he lives, was forcibly illustrated here. The speaker said: "I have moved among those rough, seafaring men and dock hands and found them a whole-souled class of men with a desire for something better but receiving little encouragement from so-called Christian They give neither time nor energy to helping those that long for a better lire. The pastor had helped organize Christian Endeavor societies on some of the large steamers and found great opportunity there for doing good. Many such opportunities have been neglected, the terrible end has come and the account must be given to the Great Judge.

The closing words were an earnest admonition to think more of what real life is and to improve our opportunities. An offering of $4 was taken for the relief fund. The Excitable Statesman from Homewood Proves to Have Blown Into a Gun George Dalley's Letter. Mr. Henry Reb, Ihe nervous young man from Homewood who works a good deal at saving the country with his mouth, has added his name to the several other3 already listed who have blown into guns.

Mr. Reh "didn't know it was loaded.V It will be remembered that the Hekald some days ago published a statement from Geo. B. Dailey, of Homewood, announcing that he was through with Bryanism. Mr.

Dailey was one of the soldiers of company K. He was a Bryan man in '0G. He stated that he had been cured. Statesman Reh got back at Mr. Dailey.

Acting on the supposition that he had familiarized himself with the private affairs of of the people in Homewood township Mr. Reh wrote a letter to the Republican-Times to the effect that Dailey was never a Bryan man. The letter was published by the reform organ as an evidence of the unreliability of Herald flops. The letter was done in Mr. Reh's best style and gave evidence of his having spent several days on it.

Mr. Dailey writes the Herald the following letter: Homewood, Kan. 16, 1900 Editor of Herald: Will you please give the following a place in the columns of your valued paper: In reply to Henry Reh in, last week's Republican-Tines as regards "The Dailey flop," we desire to say that he is correct when he states we are "the son of a republican ather" but is incorrect when he states "the whole family are republicans." There never were but two republicans in "the Dailey family previous tovmy conversion. Henry, you undoubtsdly are aware that I was an advocate of Bryan and free silver in DG, If you will just take the trouble to interview some of Ohio township's "pops" you will find plenty who are willing to testify to this fact Mr. Gillespie or John M.

Blochlinger, of Santa Cruz, formerly of Ohio township. As to attending "pop" caucuses, I never have, nor had I ever attended a republican caucus prior to 1900 see? I have never cast but two votes in this township a populist vote in 97 and a republican in 99 the only republican vote I ever have cast. We are willing to confess we are not very prominent in political circles, but are indeed glad that our lot is cast among men of political prominence such as the late aspirant for the county superintendenoy. You are evidently about as familiar with our amUy's" political history as you were with parliamentary usage when you presided over a meeting a few evenings been at work north of Wellsville the past week and now speculation is rife as to which route the new track will take.
