I hereby announce myself as a candidate for tbe nomination for county superintendent of Pawnee county on the Republican ticket, subject to the primary in August. Miss Ida B. Cttbtts. He bought land right along as he could afford to pay for it, the last purchase made this week gives him a farm of 640 acres. The first of the week he brought in three carloads of cattle and then he went on to Des, Moines, where he closed a deal with a man for 190 acres adjoining his farm out in Kansas, which rounds out the full section.

The purchase made this week cost him, $3,000 but the shipment of cattle he brought in paid for it. "The first land I bought after going to Kansas about- ten years ago, cost me $11 an acre, but today could sell most of it at $50 an acre," he said. "I cannot see where I could make an investment that would beat that. It has not been so many years since lands out that way had but little value, and were not sought after very much. But now, whenever a farm is for sale, there is a buyer for it right away.

Even at the present advanced prices, the farm lands out through that country are still cheap. A good many people had an idea that away out there in that part of Kansas farm lands never, would amount to very much, but in recent years they have been hearing from that country and the reports are such as to attract attention. The crops we have been raising made the land more valuable. We are farming more intelligently and then we are receiving a much higher price for our live stock and grain. All this change has brought western Kansas to the front.

No one need hesitate about buying Kansas farms. It beats all other investments." 1 -41 Commissioner Third District.

The persistent butting against tbe stone wall of public opinion which has characterized many of the leaders of the reactionaries who are close to President Taf continues.

The latest worthy who presumes to call himself the republican party is Attorney General Wickersham, who, in a speech at Chicago, denominated all who opposed his own views, which to Mr. Wickersham are the views of the republican party, as traitors. It is just such repeated utterances on the part of the administration's advisors which are encouraging the "back from sentiment. However stubbornly blind the Cannon-Al-drich-Wickersham crowd may be, the fact remains that the country is insurgent. It isn't only in the west, it is in New England, in the east, all over.

The long right against the rules has enlisted the interest of the whole country, and if a saner policy is not pursued by the "regulars" they will have a rude awakening next Congressman Madison, who has been so conspicuous in the fight on the the speech of the attorney general, said: "So far as I am Informed, no commission was issuedj by the republican party to the attorney general to read out of the republican party men who exercise that freedom of speech and action within the party that the presi dent himself commended.

Real estate loans at six and a half per oent.

Terms the very best. Kaiser Bros. Some Specials You can't hire a farmer for love nor money to use anything but the Tricycle Lister after he has once tried it. The weight is all carried on the wheels. It pulls almost one horse lighter than any other Lister on the market, and will do clean, even work where other Listers fail.

The reason is this: No matter what position the wheels may be in, or whether the bottom is high or low, the suction is always the same. In all other Listers there is just one fixed point where the suction is right, and at all other depths suction is lost, the weight is thrown on the Lister bottom and the team must drag it along like a log. 4 at the "Pure Food Store" Saturday, April 16 The RocK Island Tricycle Lister i insurgents have insisted that the president's legislation should be passed. Their fight on the rules simply sought to the passage of legislation that the people want.
