Date of closing Contest will be Published Later The Famous Byrne Simplified Shorthand This system of shorthand was first copyrighted in 1897, by Henry Edward Byrne.

It has. during the short space of ten years, found its way into almost every English speaking country on the globe. It is taught many of America's leading commercial colleges, and used by many of America's most noted reporters. The system is founded on entirely new principles never before used in the art of shorthand writing, which enabled its author to produce a system that can be learned in less than one- half the time of any other system, written with much higher rate of speed, and read with greater accuracy. As many expect writers of other systems have said after thoroughly examining it und testing it, "it is the marvel of the stenographic age." Many large business concerns prefer writers of the Byrne Simplied, from the fact that the Byrne writers can take dictation juet as fast as they are a -mind to give it to them, and read it back accurately at a high rate of speed.

a thing seldom done with other systems. The Fredonia Business College, of Fredonia, has the exclu-1 give right to teach this most popular system in this section. Those who desire to become. expect -tengraphers in almost half the ex pense they could learn one of the other systems in another school, should write the Fredonia Business College for catalog and full particulars of this wouderful system. J.

E. Brooks, the peoples candidate for Judge of this District in accord with his views, introduced in the Judicial Committee meeting at Howard last Friday a resolution for a primary tion to nominate a candidate for Judge but by the efforts of his apponents in this county it was defeated the other committeeman from this county, Mr. Mr. J. W.

l'aylor, voting against the resolution. The committee also voted to hold the convention on February 5th, notwithstanding the fact that the legislature has been called in special session and will in all probabilily pass a primary election law which will nullify the action of the committee. The machine politicans in power in the committee refused to listen to a plea from Butler county or Mr. Brooks for a date as February 20th for reason that every day will see their power slowly but surely slipping away, their only hope of a nomination being in shrewd political work which will fool some of the voters and thus cause them to permit a thing to happen which they do not really wish to happen: addition to forcing an early convention they out down the number of delegates to the convention from 43, four years ago, to 34 and by this means reduced the or an a of "Chautauqua, Elk and Butler Counties just 50 per cent while Greenwood County's representative was reduced less that 40 per cent; what a Chautauqua candidate for Judge and a Chautauqua County committeeman hoped to gain by such work, we leave to you to determine. We deem it to be the duty of every Republician who believes in honest poltics and in the primary election and other reform movements to go to the primaries and work for a delegation for Brooks for Judge.

J. R. Charlton, county attorney of Montgomery county, has resigned because the joints were too much for him. r. Charlton has been successful in the iquor prosecutions but acknowledges he prohibitory law is too much for him.

In Ohio where the republicans determ- ned to select the delegates slate Onvention under the primary system will be enjoined to prevent such a proreding. Those bringing the suit say it taxation without representation 29 the democrate will have to atand their of the cost of the primary and still will not be allowed to participate. Social Hop Tuesday evening was the scene of unusual gayety at the home of Chas. Johnson. The young people of our community were pleasantly entertained with a social hop.

All present report a very pleasant evening Lines sympashizingly inseribed to Syivester Ward by Josie Woolworth Now another sheave has fallen From this field below And another life is ended In this world below. A family is in mourning And sorrow fills each breast For a tender wife and mother Has gone to her long rest. 0 thou Almighty Father God Whose dwelling is above We pray Thee, bless these little ones Without a mother's love. And we pray Thee help the husband His duty to fulfill Unto both himself and children And seek to do his Masters will. Why Is It Wrong to Use Tobacco Because God commands us to glorify Him in our bodies.

"For ye are bought with 8 price- therefore glorify God in your bodies, and in your spirits which are Gods, (1 Cor. 6 to 20). Because tobacco contains a narcotic poison called Nicotine, and because the tobacco habit is filthy and expensive if you don't think this babit filthy look on some stoves and under and around the stove on a nise door all varnished so nice and on the floor that was so nice and clean and see if you don't think it a dirty habit. What is man should be all that is manly, noble, truthfull and clean. Cleanline- is next to Godliness.

and if all men and boys would stop and think how filthy and unhealthy this ambeer is they surely would be more careful about where they spit the dirty stuff. Think of the one that has to wash this up, mother or sister. Someone must keep things clean. Ani Oregon Correspondent Portland Oregon, January 10, 1908. TO THE EDTOR: As a native of Kansas I am always interested in anything concerning that State, of which I hold almost as high an opinion as that expressed by Mr.

Ed Howe after his trip around the world But I am writing this letter for an altogether different reason, My father and mother live at Medicine Lodge and I have a letter from them saying that the Christmas turkey was bought for a pound. You can imagine my surprise when visiting meat market two days ago I saw a gentleman pay 30 cents a pounds for a turkey. On the last day of the year poultry of every kind climbed the highest perch ever known in this section, Dressed turkeys sold at wholesale in large lots at from 26 cents to 28 cents a pound, while chickens brought from 16 to 18 cents. One retail dealer was kicking about conditions because he was compelled to pay 17 cents a pound for live chickens. Now of course the growers out in this section of the country make the same kick about Portland markets as the producers of Kansas about the markets of their larger cities and those on the Missouri river, claiming that the commission men get the bulk of it These prices don't rule all the year around, the Portland market was ted on Thanksgiving, and some idea of the tremendous demand may be had when it is known that 20,000 turkeys were sold in Portland alone for that day, but it looks like there is a chance for Kansas growers to make some good money by contracting in advance.

There is just a little talk here of stringency in the money market, but theatres are all packed to the doors and New Year's Day I went to a football game by see the Multnomahs of this city beat the St. Louis University team by a score of 9 to 6 Although admission was $1.00 and no half rates for children, and the game was stopped twice by showers; it looked to me as though there were 10,000 people on the grounds. Eggs are selling here for 45 cents a dozen. and butter retails by the roll of two pounds ut 85 cents the roll. The dairy products of Oregon were worth this year $17,000,000 and a great many people are coming here to engage in that business, because even with this enormous home production an immense amount of butter is shipped.

in from Kansas and other states. There hasn't been freeze here this winter, still we are as far north as St. Paul. formerly lived at Wellington and there is a regular colony from that town living in Portland, and a great many people have come here from all over Kansas. GLENN RICHARDSON.

Smith, known as Uncle Jimmy who passed away Jan. 9, 1908 at Girard, was born in Logan county, August 31, 1819, where he grew to manhood, married Elizabeth Alsur at the age of 23 From this union ten children were born, three of which died in infancy, seven living to the years of maturity. Five surviving him at the time of his death, viz: T. E. Smith of Cedar Vale, Kan.

and Mrs Scott both being sick at the trying hounand unable to come Rosbury (. the third son having died September 20, 1877, and William J. the oldest son having died June 10, 1902 Uncle Jimmie, as he was commonly known, emigrated to Newton county, Mo. in 1847, located six miles south east of Joplin, where he remained until 1862. As he was on the Union side and a radical abolishionist, consequently would have to seek refuge in the north.

In March 1862 after undergoing great trials by robbery and severe threats, managed to escape with his life into Kansas locating for the summer eight miles west of Fort Scott on Mill Creek in the fall moving to Jefferson county ten miles west of Lawrence north side of the river in Kaw bottom, where he remained until April 1867, moving south stopped in, Neosho county until July, when he bought Frank Pierce's claim six miles south west of Girard, on Lightning creek in Crawford county, where he has been a continuous resident for over 40 years and during this time it might safely be said that he entertained more compay, fed more people free of charge and shown as many generous acts as any one in Crawford county. lie was was a good provider through life, his motto being pay as you go, and never owe any bills, never have any interest to pay, consequently his (reputation for punctuality was excelled by none. His word always being reliable with the host of friends who knew and dealt with him. In the early part of his life he united with the Christain church remaining in that organization until 1868 when he united with the ('hurch of God believing in the Literal Second Coming of Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom and reign of the Saints on the earth, of which he was a consistant member until death. Being 83 years, 4 months 9 days old at the time of his death, had witnessed many trials, privations and disasters of a frontier life and could relate many incidents of interest to those who know nothing of a pioneer experience.

The funeral services were conducted on January 10th at the Country Baptist church by Rev. John Foore of Parsons. Interment in the Myers cemetery followed by a large procession of sorrowing friends and relatiues. The chances are that 0. A.
