Ed Mierau's Success. The Hutchinson News of last Saturday has the following to say in regard to a Halstead student at the Salt City Business Colletre: Tnis week the col- It-g' pliirrs iami joiing mt-u in the mas-I imcbHoiu's oilier- ilerriugton.

One of ilium gets $oO per month aud and the other $45, which are good wages to start on. Mr. Edward Mierau, who came to the school less than four months ago is the last one to go to llerrington, as the other young man went last week. Mr. Mierau has been a faithful student and we predict for bim a grand success.

He lias been one of the best musicians in the college band, which place will be hard to till. Candidate tor Sheriff. W. E. Means, who is an indepei- dent candidate for sheriff is an old line republican and was identified with the republican party before lie became a resident of Harvey county.

After the war lie held several township offices and was twice elected to the county board. Always proving himself eminently worthy of the county's trust. A number of years since he went west and located in the city of Sedgwick Harvey county Kansas, In which county and state he now resides. Mr.

Means was always a reliable worki In the ranks oT the republican party, ne was a hustler in whatever he undertakes. Wo venture the prediction that his schooling in working iu the ranks of the republican party in Edgar countT will show itself in his can. didacy for the office of Sheriff which he now seeks in his western home. If he should be elected Sheriff of Harvey county irrespective of his party affilia- tions judging from his record in his old home, he will makean efficient und impartial officer. man The Sedgwick Fantagraph never loses an opportunity to cast a 1 Sharon, Medina Ohio.
