They represent the intelligent, patriotic, progressive element which so largely prevails in this county. They are too well known to require any mention. C. P. McGuffin has the clerical and executive ability and qualifications to make the right kind of a sheriff.

He is honest, he is competent. He is not the tool of any clique or faction. He is not the idol of one class nor the avenging angel cf another He was not nominated because he was supposed to be a radical upon the question of enforcing any one special law nor because another faction looked upon him as being "friendly" to their side. He was nominated in a convention of representative citizens, the nomination coming to him unsolicited. No sleepless nights were spent by him worrying over the possibility Barney, the Boodler, who boasts that he bosses the Democratic party of old Miami, and tells them in their conventions that he "wants to see the color of the hair of the man who dares to vote against him," is in a pretty box.

He and Tom Kelly made the arrangement for the straight Democratic convention, which went through straight, especially on the resolutions that everything would be made up of straight "Democrats above suspicion" and all that sort of thing, and Barney said on the streets to the Populists he "did not want the Pops to endorse it," and they didn't. But the whole truth about the scheme was that Kelly and Sheridan had made a deal for certain Republican candidates to be nominated, which failed, and now they are cussing each other. Sheridan gives it to Kelly for letting the Greasons run the Republican party, and Kelly cusses Sheridan for howling so much for the straight Democratic ticket that the Populists would not endorse it. So the old political pals are having a great time trying to run the parties to their personal profit. All acknowledge that Sheridan was for Tom for county clerk and assistant state treasurer, and that Tom and other Republicans on the state central committee made it possible for Sheridan to hold the Republican rake-off of $10 per day at Wellington.

So just watch the future movements of this pair when Tom comes down again. The last time they were here they held their meetings in the Park. So it happens that best laid schemes, even of such brainy men as Barney, are often busted by men of the "ordinary class." Kansas Xews lu Brief. liberty loving Kansan in Miami county who can cast a ballot next November will take pride in remembering the young hero of many a battle with the savages of the far east, the brave Kansan who returns with honor, who so ably aided the noble Twentieth Kansas regiment in winning fame that is world-wide and which has done This Justly Celebrated Wagon, Manufactured By Mitchell Lewis KSiivbconsin Is the Recognized Standard all Over the World. BECAUSE Competent men are employed whose whole duty is to inspect stock and select the best, everything that is not up to the highest grade being rejected.

The stock is cut at the proper season of the year and piled under sheds until thoroughly seasoned before using. BECAUSE The Thimble Skeins are made from our own patterns, and are much heavier than any others in use. They fit the arm of the axle like a kid glove on a lady's hand. BECAUSE The Hubs are Dodge Mortised, which makes a stronger wheel than any other kind. The boxes are pressed into the hubs without the use of either hammer or wedges.

BECAUSE The wagons are more completely and thoroughly ironed than any other. BECAUSE The Patent Beach box allows the reach to pass through between the hind axle and bolster, without weakening either. This is used only on the Mitchell Wagon. BECAUSE Any farmer or teamster buying a Mitchell Wagon gets more for his money and will be better satisfied than with any other wagon. BECAUSE The Mitchell Wagon is the strongest, most durable, best finished, best proportioned and and lightest running wagon.

NOW If you want a wagon at all, you want the best You cannot afford to buy anything else. Remember that first-class stock and good labor cost more than poor stock and cheap labor, and don't buy a wagon simply because its cheap, it will cost you more in the end. more than any other one thing to make all other states doff their hats to the sunflower kingdom. if) 05 9) 'I (0 Rossman will be elected by a handsome majority.

There was no scheming to placate any one element without enraging the other. There was no "good-Lord-good- devil" methods to "slip in." Charlie McGuffin is not a hypocrite. If elected and he ought to be and will be he will be the sheriff of Miatoi county, not of some faction. No man in this county is better qualified for the office of sheriff than C. P.

McGuffin. No better choice could have been made for county treasurer than the man chosen by the people's party convention as the candidate of that party. There is not an office within the gift of the people, either county or state, that Arthur Williams could not fill with honor to himsetf and satisfaction to the people. His ability and integrity is too well known to need discussion. The state of Kansas today is the beneficiary by the two years' service of Arthur Williams as assistant state treasurer.

The books of the district court clerk's office of this county bear silent witness to his ability. Is there a voter in Miami county today who does not know and believe that of the three candidates now before the people for county treasurer, Arthur Williams is head and shoulders above all in point of ability? In the prime of vigorous manhood, ripe in experience, sound in body and strong in mind, at that age when he is neither senile of too many years nor frivolous because of too few, liberal in his views, financially a successful business man, could give a bond for a million he is pre-eminently the man for the place and should receive the vote of every voter in Miami county, regardless of politics. In Bart Needham, the nominee for clerk, the people of Miami county have a candidate who is well worthy the support of every member of his own party and in fact of all parties. Bart is one of the brightest young men in the and be elected along with the other candidates. J.

Kaftir-corn is found to be a very valuable roughness. Seldom is there a lack of rain to start crops in the spring, and Kaffir-corn will grow until it becomes very dry, and then it will remain green retaining its growth for weeks and weeks, until other crops are burned up. Corn will wither and die and the wheat will not be worth cutting, still the field of Kaffir-corn will remain green with now and then a burnt place. Then, at last, when the much-looked-for rain comes, it will spring up and make wonderful growth, and before frost comes a wonderful harvest of roughness for cattle will be grown. These, with other experiments, have been made, so that now the problem of raising cattle in favorable as well as unfavorable years has been solved.

The people of our State have learned that it was better for them to get in line with the country in which they live rather than to try to make the country as they would have it. We have had our craze of irrigation; we have had our rain-making machines, and many other theories and schemes for reclaiming this country. We need none of these plans for unnatural moisture if we but rightly understand the country itself. If we give it study; if we profit by the experiences of the past; if we prepare the ground thoroughly and sow and reap in season the kinds of crops that are naturally adapted to our climate, there is no trouble about raising roughness enough to carry a bunch of cattle through any season. Today most of the small farmers of Kansas have fine herds of cows and young stock around them, with the full assurance that their alfalfa, Kaffir-corn and cane will be an assured crop in seasons that are too dry for such crops as corn, wheat, rye, oats and other cereals.

Another branch of this subject that needs especial mention is the many creameries we have established all over the State. In almost every little town creameries are now running, and the product of the Kansas cow is going into the fanners' pocket not only by her increase, but by the sale of thousands of pounds of butter fat, which is being manufactured into a high grade of creamery butter, and which commands the highest price in the world. It is a fact that with a dozen cows, a couple of hundred hens, fifteen or twenty hogs and a very small piece of land, an industrious farmer in Kansas can be as Independent as the queen of England, and with better prospects for gold than the recent visitors to the Klondike. This does not require much capital; a little bit of money accompanied by industry, frugality and honesty, together with a good house-wife, makes success assured. Otis L.
