His funeral took place Monday, and for this reason Prof. S. A.

Lough had to return to Baldwin Sunday night. The deceased was a nephew of Prof. L. J. Van Landingham, who years ago was superintendent of our city schools.

Say, my good Republican friend, you, who voted the ticket from top to bottom, don't blame us too much for crowing a little over Clark's de feat. Suppose that Clark had been elected, wouldn't it have tickled you to the marrow of your bones to come up to us and punch us in the ribs and remind us of it? Do you think that you would ever have let us for gotten about it? Of course we knew and expected that we would get a great many curses because of our course, but doesn't do us any harm We know that we aren't "good Re publicans" any more for not voting the ticket straight, but addressing ourselves to the "good Republicans" of this community for a moment, we mean those who voted the ticket straight and are the loudest in their curses of The Advance and its edit or, we wish to ask if you always have voted the ticket straight from top to bottom, in both city and county affairs? Oh! It't none of our business is it? Well, ditto. Say, supposing that we had swallowed that bitter and nauseous pill that the political "pill mixers" of Labette county pre scribed for the Republicans of this county, and like the rest of the papers of the county said not a word either for or against, do you think we would even have been thanked for such leniency? The Advance Vindicated. It is with no little gratification we record the fact that E. C.

Clark was defeated by a good round majority for county attorney. His defeat by 125 votes, when every other candi date on the ticket was elected sets the seal of the Republican party on the work The Advance did in oppo sition to his election. It also gives a fair and much needed warning to the Republican politicians of this county that if they want their can didates elected they must put in nomination clean and worthy men'. It means that the rank and file of the Republican party will jot vote for a man even after his nomination, who has nothing else to recommend him for office except his being a member of the party. The defeat of Mr.

Clark also gives the lie to the charge of some of those supporting him that the opposition to him was solely on personal grounds. As far as we are concerned, we opposed him because we believed him to be unworthy of the office, aud the people of the coun ty by a good majority, which would have been overwhelming had some conditions been more favorable, have indorsed us and vindicated our ac tion, and we are content. Alcxauder-O'IIare. On Wednesday afternoon at the hour of three o'clock, at the residence of the bride's father Capt. Thos.

O'Hare, occurred the marriage ceremony of Wil- iam J. R. Alexander to Mary Louise OHare.in the presence of a large number of invited friends, Rev. H. M.

Gil bert officiating. To the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Carrie St. John, the groom led his bride to the altar, or figuratively speaking to the southeast corner of the parlor which was most beautifully decorated with red and yellow chrysanthemums over a white background, and were made one. The bride was gowned in a cadet blue suit trimmed with corn colored liberty silk, with demi train, and car ried an exquisite bouquet of roses; the groom in the conventional black. After very hearty congratulations had been given, numerous small tables were spread and a wedding feast of re freshing refreshments were served, the last course of which consisted of bride's cake accompanied by a piece of paper and some white baby ribbon.

The bridal party took the 5.40 Pacific train for the east, and were accompanied to the depot by a large number of their friends, where after a shower of rice and a vholesale exchange of kisses they were bidden adieu. As the bride was reared Chetopa and has spent the most of her life here, she is so well known that it is hardly of use to dilate upon her beauty, goodness and many virtues. Suffice it is to say that Southeastern Kansas cannot excel, and to us Southeastern Kansas is the greenest spot on earth. The groom altho not very well known in Chetopa, in his visits here has made a favorable impression upon all with whom he has come in contact. Their future home will be in Cincinnati, Ohio.

May prosperous happiness ever be their marriage portion is the wish of The Advance, and of all of their friends in Chetopa. The guests present from abroad were Mrs. Daniel Wells. Mrs. Slosson, and Mrs.

Isham of Coffey ville, Miss Myrtle McGregor of Oswego, and A. B. Bates of Kansas City, Mo. The bride and groom were the happy recipients of a large number of beautiful presents. i'HvmM Editor.

Let the procession now form and move forward to "view the remains" of the-Fusion party.

Last year there was only one Republican on the county ticket elected. This year there is only one Populist. Does not this about even things up? A Kansas editor has figured the matter out carefully, and estimates that there is owing to Kansas editors in delinquent subscriptions, that are not outlawed, the sum of $180,000. That does not cover the loss. An Atchison grocer who has accumulated much more money than sense kept his cash in a box in his store because he had no faith in the banks.

He left over $700 in the box the other night, but it is probably the last $700 he will lose just that way. He may keep bis money in a barrel hereafter. While Hobson was in Philadelphia attending the peace jubilee, says the Kansas City World, a member of the reception committee invited him to take a drink. The hero said he never drank. He was then invited to smoke.

He replied that he did not smoke either, but to ease the feelings of the committee he would take a shave. The Advance may not have much influence in the politics of Labette county, but it had enough to defeat E. C. Clark, notwithstanding he had the support of all the other republican papers of the county. The three other republican papers did their level best, but they could not pull Clark through.

He was too heavy a load for them. Tso one would recognize Gen, J. G. Blount by his picture as published in the last issue of the Topeka Mail and Breeze. We saw Gen.

Blount during the war and heard him speak, and the picture resembles him about as much as a picture of the man in the moon would. It might have looked like him when he was a young man, but not when he wore regimentals as he is represented in the picture. An exchange remarks that if Young America were to decide it, the meanest man in town is he who refuses to let his boys out and have a good time Halloween. Well, yes, but it depends very largely upon the boys. If they can discriminate between harmless fun and pure, unadulterated deviltry, then we agree with the above verdict.

But in many instances the obdurate parent knows that that they have not such powers of discrimination. The merchant, says an exchange, cannot afford to send out his goods to parties all over the country and wait a year or more for his pay; and yet he is not required to meet his obligations more promptly than is the newspaper man. Railroads, postofSces, telegraph and express companies require payment in ad. vance for their services. Why should the newspaper man be the only per A good many Kansas newspapers, says the Topeka Capital, are brag ging about the amount of job work they are turning out just at present, There isn't any business that gets hit any harder or any more quickly on account of the coming of hard times than the country print shops, and it is cause for considerable satisfaction to know that things are coming their way again.

A man will go without printed matter when things get down to bed rock, although it is bad policy to do so, and a subscription bill is one of the last things to be paid when money gets Matters are looking better now, and people ought to let go of the money they owe the print shops. The Oswego Independent, in its last week's issue, printed after our last issue was out, reproduced an article from The Advance of nearly a year ago advocating the nomin ation of S. S. Kirkpatrick for Con. gress.

That article was all right. It expressed the real sentiments of the editor at that time. We had not yet learned the true character of the man we were supporting. Judas Is-cariot was trusted by his Master and all the apostles, but never again after he had sold his Lord and Master for thirty pieces of silver. Judas only betrayed and sold out one per son.

It is different with the individual above referred to. He has betrayed a number of persons all over the district. Of this there is ample and indisputable evidence. In speaking editorially of the work of the present administration, the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: "When the democrats went out of power, all the complications incident to a vacillating policy in Hawaii and Cuba were left to the McKinley administration. Both questions were grappled with at once.

Hawaii has been annexed. In a war of a little more than a hundred days not only Cuba, but all the Spanish Westlndias, have been relieved of the Spanish yoke. The Hawaiian question and the Cuban question have been settled for all time, and in settling them, President McKinley has opened the gateway, through the possession of the Philippines, to a more brilliant future for the nation, than was dreamed of two years ago. It will be remembered that the opposition to Clark on the part of the editor of The Advance was said to be simply a case of bellyache Well, this bellyache seems to have been epidemic all over the county. The trouble was, as we said then, that Clark was too much for the stomach of the Republican party of Labette county hence it had a bad case of bellyache.

Now that the party has spewed him out of his mouth disgorged him as it were, the party will feel easier, and will soon regain its wonted strength and normal vigor. There is nothing like a good vomit when the stomach is overloaded with deleterious and indigestible matter. The opposition of The Advance to Clark served as a good emetic. The patient is now resting easy and will soon be on its feet and in good fighting trim. Besides its digestion will be much improved.

Republican victory is in the air and the Grand Old Republican party is still in the ascendency and its standard still far advanced. The party has been successful all along the line. Roosevelt is elected governor of New York by a plurality of 20,000. Congress is still republican by a good safe working majority. Stanley and the entire state ticket are elected by majorities ranging from 10,000 to 15,000, and every congressman in the state elected except Kirkpatrick.

In our county the result is most gratifying to The Advance. The county ticket is elected with the exception of E. C. Clark by majorities as follows: Grain, 246; Arnold, 177: Ryan, 3S. The majority against Clark is 125.

The vote of West Osage may change the above figures, but not materailly. Cranston, in the upper district is defeated, but Flannelly is elected in this district by 8 yotes. The State Temperance Union, under the management of President J. W. Gleed and Secretary T.

E. Stephens, is an eminently practical organization, and is doing the cause of temperance and prohibition substantial good. Their latest work is a valuable pamphlet on the enforcement of the prohibitory law in this State. The pamphlet contains the prohibitory law, chapters on the poweis and duties of the Governor, Attorney corn fell on the terrt of a traveling pho tographer who got mad and came out and shot at the ground in the direction of the boys, the ball hit the sidewalk and glanced, hitting young Van Land ingham in the hip and ranging up ward It was certainly a very sad affair. How to Look Good- Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs.
