Herriek, Republican nom inee for county attorney, is a native Kansan. He was born in Doniphan county some 30 years ago. His father was the colonel of the seventh Kansas calvalry a gallant officer who bequeathed to his son various manly qualities. We know of no better all around young man than Robt. Herriek.

1 He is a good lawyer; sharp, honest, earnest. He is not a meddlesome crank. He neither a sneak nor a spy. As a public prosecutor he will do his duty without the slightest compromise; but will be guided by sworn evidence in cases. He will save the county needless expense.

He is devoted to his profession and has a pretty thorough knowledge of law. Previous to studying law he attended school in Pennsylvania. He was admitted to the bar in 1880 after receiving his la' education in the best law school in existence the court room. He was for several years the official court stenographer and his experience in this capacity is of great value to him. His practice has been varied and no one pretends to say that he is not in every way more than competent to perform the duties of the office.

He has held the place once before by appointment, tilling out the unexpired term of Capt. IraJ.Lacock, who resigned. JAKE WAS CAUGHT. Sheriff Brown Made Him Help Put the Keg In a Wagon. Just as Jake Walters came down from the lodge room, Brown asked him if he would help set a keg in.

Jake as sented, but in the darkness didn't notice who made the reouest. When tney e.nterea tne nop snop there was a keg setting in the middle of the floor, and each took hold of a side and Jake started to put that keg in the ice box; he pulled his way good and hard, but to his disgust the other fellow tugged in the opposite direction. At last the stranger exclaimed: "Hold on! I don't want it in there." Jake took a closer look, and blurted out, "Great guns! its the sheriff "Jake tried to faint away, but Brown made him brace up and help carry the keg out. Powhatan Post. CLIMBING BACK.

The Pops Out West Are Getting Back Into the Hanks. A recent letter from Miss Belle Chase, now teaching at Great Bend, tells of Mr. Morrill's visit there and of the interest taken by a member of the school board to have her hear Mr. Mor rill's speech. She savs: "After it was over I had a few moment's chat with him, and in the evening he came up here with Mr Cole, the candidate for Congress from this District, and made a ten minute call.

The people here think it a fine thing that I should be acquainted with our next Governor. I think his prospects are good in this part of the state. The people liked his speech and his appearance. A good many Pops are ciimbing back over the fence as fast as they can scramble, and some, who are ashamed to be seen climbing over, are rolling quickly under." The Letter That Never Came.

The contributed articles in the Agora. quarter, are interesting. The ed itorial comment is sharp even to severity. The exp2nse of the Botkin investi gation must be charged to the Pops to Republicans. The Pops ordered How will Henry Solomon do for the landsomest man in the world? THE L.AYVS KKD TAPE.

The tortuous and tedious course through which justice wind3 its way in criminal courts deserves the con demnation of every good citizen. When an individual is arrested on charge of murder we have the absurd itacle of four trials before final sen tence is pronounced. First, the cor oner's inquest; then the preliminary ex- imination before a justice of the peace; trial in the circuit court the appeal the supreme court. Finally, if the is a serious one, ana the penalty severe, the whole matter is brought in review before the governor sitting as a board of pardons the iifth tribunal which the case is heard. Then we have the possibility, indeed the cer- tainitv of continuances, changes of venue, new trials and an almost inter minabl9 delay at every important stop.

lhe expense to the people is in creased by tills red tape proceeding, cnminal'costs are piled up, justice is worn out or defeated. Does anyone suppose mat more criminals would escape or more inno cent men suffer if there was one decisive trial, and one only? America may learn from England a lesson in the law's delay Columbia Herald. A year ago Myron W. Reed was the most petted man in Colorado. He had the most influential church in Denver, received the largest salary, and his sermons were printed in all the papers He became fascinated with politics, preached socialism from the pulpit, declaring Christ was the first anarchist, and is now an outcast, a hanger-on at the Populist camps, a paid joke maker influence the farmers, a vagrant and unknown.

This should be a warn ing to all who try to mix politics with piety. Atchison Globe. up 933,000. Peter Kline Pays the Pops Big Money lor Protection. Peter Kline, the Kausas City lottery gambler, says that he paid James F.

Legate Attorney General Little, Bank Examiner Hathway, Private Secretary Close, Assistant Oil Inspector Adkins and other Pops nearly 23,000 for "pro tection." lie paid $3,000 for the right to name cwo of the police commission ers of Kansas City, Kans. He paid $5,000 to operate in Atchison, Leaven- worth and Ft. Scott. He paid Adkins $5,000 a month to divide among state officials: he contributed 182,500 to the Pop campaign fund. The attorney general agreed to sup press all opposition lottery companies for $20,000 and the Louisiana Lottery Co.

paid $5,000 of this amount. $4,000 of which was handed over to Little. The contracts made with Kline were not kept and the Louisiana Co. threat ens to sue him for the therefore he has made public the entire deal. Kline may oe a tough; he may be a crook; but the men he claims to have paid money are not the sort who would refuse it.

His story is probably true. THEY GOT MELONS. Some Boys Have to Pay a Dear Price for August Melons. Last Tuesday John DeLong, a Mis souri Pacific detective, filed complaint before Justice Guelich against Font Brunt, Sam Gourley. Geo.

Stewart, Homer Parsons, Wm McCarthy, Print Vanhorn, Tim Miller and Chas. and Robt. Beismire for stealing melons. Some time in August a car of melons passed through Hiawatha and the boys broke mt the car and helped them selves to 15 of the best ones. When the car reached its destination the shortage was discovered and a detec- tive was sent out.

He has been here some time looking it up. Robt. and Chas. Beismire and Font Brunt plead guilty Tuesday and were fined So and costs, and released. Tod Dunn, Sam Gourley, Print Yanhorn stood trial and were found guilty and fined So and costs and sent to jail.

Tod Dunn paid his fine and was turned loose. Wm. McCarty, Geo. Stewart and Homer Parsons were released as there was no evidence that they were in the party. NEW SUBSCRIBERS.

all aim: wklcome. Geo. Norton says that in calling their primary the Republicans of Hia watha Township cordially invite all who are tired of Populism and Demo cracy to attend and vote with them He believe that this 13 the proper spirit and that we speak the sentiment of all the Republicans in the county when we extend a similar invitation for election day to every voter in the county, whatever may bo his voting precinct and whatever party he may have hitherto supported. The Republican party is a hospitable party. It welcomes every man who loves Jus country and who wants its laws obeyed, its institutions upheld and its name honored.

mere-are a whole lot ot men in this county who must see by this time that the Populist party is not their home. The. Republican doors are wide open for them to comeback. A fish or fowl newspaper states that R. T.

Ilerrick sympathizes with corporations because he signed the petition urging the speedy settlement of the Pullman difficulty. We signed the same thing and the petition originated with a railroad man. It stated that the sufferers from the strike were the great public and in order that the hungry might be fed and business and travel resumed it was hoped the strikers and Pullman ouicers might adjust their differences without lurther delay. Law abiding and peace loving citizens never need apologize for signing such petitions. Chief Justice Horton wants an anti- pass law framed.

It ought not to be necessary to frame such a law. Any man of honor or of decency will not accept any favor he cannot return. What return can an honorable official make for a pass? A coward at Madison killed himself because he had no work. He lett a wife and six children and we will bet that wife will rear them in such good style that they will never regret the loss of their father. We are told that there are no barbed wire fences in heaven.

This is helpful to those who look to the happy fu ture, but to those who run against the barbed wire on earth and in hell there is little comfort in the promise. Peter Kline swears that he paid Leweling's Private Secretary Close, Deputy Coal Oil Inspector Adkins, James Legate and Attorney General Little 823,000 to protect his lottery gambling. It is said that Lawyer J. Ellen Fos ter oaly gets SC00 for her services in Kansas. Her work is worth so many times that amount that it cannot be estimated in cash.

This is the latest improved style of dress cutting in the world, and embod all of the very best principles known the dress cutting art. It is founded strictly Square Inch measurement, cuts every garment worn by the human family. It is neither a chart, model nor scale system, but a perfect square and compass combined, giving actual inches, and all the curves requisite in making perfect fitting garments. have thousands testimonials from the leading tailors and dress makers, md will furnish them on application. Below are just a few of those who are well known in this part of the country, would be glad to have you write any of them.

Testimonials. Having learned to use the Standard liflrnipnt, i.nttpr am nrenared to sav that it is all it has been represented to "easy to learn, quick to use, and perfect in fitting." I would heartily recommend that every woman who do so should improve the oppor- unity afforded by the dress cutting school. Carrie A. Morse, Marysville, June 24, 1893. I consider the Standard Garment Cutter a perfect sucess in every way, and can heartilv recommend it to all.

experience I find that it does as lias been represented, giving a perfect and easy fitting garment. It is worth many times the amount required to learn it, and it will pay you to give it your attention. Nellie L. Mohr, Marysville, June 27, 1893. Having had a dress cut by the Standard Garment Cutter, I can say I am well pleased with it, and take pleas ure in recommending it to all who de sire to learn to cut by a system that will insure a comfortable and perfect fitting garment.

Mrs. J. B. Gatchell, Marysville, June 27, 1893. I gained more knowledge in the art cutting and fitting in one week at the Dress Cutting School than in all my previous life.

I attended the school for my own benefit alone, and that I might learn to do my own cut- tirnr and fittmer. which I can do with perfect ease with the Standard Gar ment Cutter. A system cannot be more practical and simple. And the work done by the school is worthy the hisrhest commendation and deserves the attention of all those who wish to acquire a perfect knowledge in this ac complished art Respectfully Yours, Bellt. Burnett, Blue Rapids, 26, 1893.

This is to certify that I have just tin ished taking instructions at the Dress Cutting School and can say that never expect again to gain as much useful knowledge for the same amount of money that I did in the School. I i. on nriu iir ann nr anv irHTHieilL Willi perfect accuracy and ease with tne Standard Garment Cutter, which is more than I could ever do with any chart or scale system. The first basque that 1 cut and fit for myself by the "Standard" was the neatest and easiest garment I ever put on. And in my future business as a dressmaker I would not do without the system at any price Respectfully, Alice M.

Avis, Blue Rapids, Sept. 29, 1893. AD Standard I have been dressmaking over forty years and have seen and used almost every method of cutting and fitting in this country besides all of the different patterns. I am now sixty years of age and have just learned the Square Inch Tailor system. Words cannot express my satisfaction with this new system It is everything that a dressmaker can want, and not only the practical dress maker but every lady who does her own sewing should possess it.

Yours very truly Mrs. E. A. Fox, now at Marysville. I had learned two methods of dress cutting previous to learning the Standard Garment Cutter.

One was chart or scale method, the other the Eureka Tailor System. Since learning the Standard I have discarded both of the others, and will use nothing but the Standard hereafter in my dressmaking business, as it is the only sytem I have ever found which gives perfect satis faction on every form, and I heartily recommend it to everyone who wishes to save time, trouble and cloth. Yours very respectfully, Jessie Lavine, Dress maker, Beattie, Kansas. After an'experience of twenty years as a aress maser, ana uavmg uscu several of the best methods known in this country, I am pleased to say that as soon as I saw the simplicity and ac curacy of the Standard garment Cutter I was convinced at once that it was the most practical system I had ever seen; and now, since I have learned it and put il to the test in every particular, I its for at to are sell is the the of be in i I I I I made Republican speeches at Carson- Friday night.
