HIGHEST MARKET PRICE PAID FOR GRAIN. The Coldwater Roller Mills. 23.a,xxaa.e3r Sc ZProprietors. That is the name of the next State Senator from the 37th district, and those who heard him at the court house last Saturday night, where he spoke to a crowded house of ladies and gentlemen, are satisfied of his ability to take care of the interests of his district in the State Senate. He demonstrated the fact that he was one of the young Republicans of this day and age who, no preventing provi dence, will be found among the foremost men of his country at a later day and age, and he asks the voters of the 37th district to help him ascend another round on the ladder of fame by electing him State Senator.

In his speech last Saturday night he abused nobody; he went after the calamity howlers in true American style. By the "calamity howlers" he means the fellows who farm with their mouths. He said the rank and file of the people's party were farmers honest men who believe their leaders are honest and will lead them in the right way; but they are fast finding out their mistake and are returning to their old and true friend the Republican party. The speaker eulogized many of the grand men who figure in the past history of this Nation and the Republican party; men who are praised and loved by all patriotic citizens, but whom the people's party claim were failures and helped to place the nation on the verge of moral, politicai and material ruin. He showed that when a country is on the verge of moral ruin the majority of the people must be immoral, and nobody believes that they are.

Statistics show that the religious classes are far in the majority and growing in numbers daily. Every preacher, christian worker and school teacher, have utterly failed in their efforts according the preamble to the people's paty platform. He showed that if this country was was on the verge of political ruin then every man who gets an office now must get it through trickery, bribery, cheating, lying, etc. Nobody believes that is so. If it is true of one party it is true of all and the people's party will no quicker right it than and other party.

He read an item from the New York Herald (democratic) to show that this country is in a "provokingly prosper ous condition;" that new manufactories and industries were building up and labor demands gcod wages; and alto another from Dunn's financial Report (a nonpartisan affair the reliability of whish is undisputed) to show that this country is in the most prosperous era of its history; and yet this people's party preamble to their Omaha platform says this Nation is on the verge of material ruin. The speaker read two items from the Topeka Advocate (the official organ of the people's party of Kansas) of August 3rd, one of which was a dire wail and calamity howl against "money sharks," "plutocrats," corporations, and picturing hopeless indebtedness, starvation, (undoubtedly meant for the farmers to read) and the other an editorial "send off" for the Kansas Mutual Life Insurance Company praising their firm financial, foundation and saying that now, dur ing this era of good crops and general prosperity, was a good time to take life insurance. He related a story about a Methodist preacher to demonstrate the fact that the life of the democratic party does not depend upon the supply ef whisky. He "showed up" the wild financial schemes of the people's party; as put forth in their platform; also in the bills introduced in Congress by Peffer, Otis and Baker. Mr.

Madison held the undivided at tention of his audience for almost two hours and wound up by stating that he desired to meet everybody regardless of party affiliations. The people of this county hope to hear Madison again ere the close of the campaign. At Protection. Mr. Madison addressed a foil house at Protection Monday night.

The meeting was called to order by Owen Connaugbton. Mr. Connaughton was chosen chairman, and appointed J. E. Hutchison secretary.

The chair then Introduced the speaker, who held the undivided attention of his audience for over au hour; discussing the calamity platform, and proved conclusively the falsity and absurdity of each plank he attacked. The speaker was embarrased a number of times by the cussedness and boisterity of a few boys on the outside who were inclined to make themselves extremely obnoxious by shouting and making other disturbances. They had probably gotten on the outside of a few rotten apples. Protection people are a peaceable and fair set and deplore the actions of a few toughs; as the chairman of the meeting said, "there are always a few 'bobtails' in every community and a short thing must wag." G. W.

Tickers was called upon to make a short talk but declined. The meeting then adjourned. On account of the rain Tuesday night Mr. Madison failed to fill his ap- ointment at Avilla. However he will back in Comanche county later on in the campaign.

House-boating is a sort of aquatic camping-out; and to pass a vacation on an American house-boat is an experience to anticipate with pleasure and remember with satisfaction. "Our Summer in a House-Boat," published in Demorests Family Magazine for September, is a most delightful description of life on one of these floating summer homes, abounding with charming descriptions of scenery, and humorous incideuts to which the numerous illustrations give additional zest. "How Artificial Ice Is Made" is especially apropos when the mercury is striving make a record, and to know that Jack Frost is not the only dependence for a supply of ice makes one feel several degrees cooler on hot day. This also is fully illustrated. "Society Leaders of Ohio" gives charming pictures and crisp biographical sketches of representative women of Ohio; "The Mushroom's Family Connections" embodies many curious and interesting points about peculiar fungi, and the illustrations are espesially fine; the second part of "How to Sing Without a Master" is excellent: "Hands Up!" and" The Land of the Free and Equal." both illustrated, are stories that all will enjoy; and "Jim's Picture" is a pathetic tale that will appeal to everyone.

The departments "Our Girls," "Home Art and Home Comfort "Household," "What Women are World's "Chat "and "Mirror of Fashions" all abound with good things; and in ad dition to over 200 black-and-white illustrations there is a lovely water-color, "The Little Mother."

ALL GOODS DELIVERED FREE. Good Milling Wheat, We understand that agents representing a wrought iron range company are working in this county, and are disposing of stoves. Their price is 868 and they tell the unsuspecting farmer that retail dealers can not handle these goods. As a matter of fact our hardware dealers can sell the same kind of a stove, and are selling them, for 45. The hardware dealer is permanently located; he pays taxes in the county; he helps to make the county what it is; he is a good citizen and deserves your trade especially when his prices are much lower.

We do not take any stock in these glib-tongued agents. They offer ycu goods at fancy prices, get your money and are gone. They are not of one dollar's benefit to the county. They pay no taxes, and have no other interest in the farmer than to bamboozle him out of his hard earned money. Our citizens should beware of such men.

Keep your money at home by patronizing home dealers. It is no credit to your busines sagacity that you allow yourself to be gulled into paying a third more for an article thau you can buy the same thing at home. Stand up for your home man and he will stand up for you. Medicine Lodge Cresset. The following pathetic sketch is from the pen of Bill Xye, and its reality is too often found: "My wife worked alougside 'o me sewing new seats on the boys pants skimming milk and evep helping me Iod hay.

For forty years we toiled together. Then her health failed. Ketch-ed cold in the spring house probably skimmin' milk, washin pans and scaldin' pails, and spankin' butter. Anyhow she took a long breath one day while the doctor and me was watchin' her, and she says to me, "Henry," says she, "I've got a chance to rest," and she put one tired, wornout hand on top of the other tired, wornout hand and I knew she was gone where they don't work all day and do chores all night. I took time to kiss her then.

I'd been too busy for a good while previous to that and when I called in the boys atfer the funeral, it was too much for them to stay around and eat the kind of cooking we had to put up with and nobody spoke up around the house as we used. The boys quit whistlin' around the barn and talkin kind of low to themselves about going to town and gettin a job.

The evidence is plain and the chances are good for three young juveniles spending a year ortwo in the penitentiary or reform school.

It is awful to contemplate boy's of their age stealing horses, and almost ruining their prospects for a bright future, by spending a part of their young lives in jail. This will certainly be a good lesson to other boys to De contented and live upright and honest lives. iy possesseu vy uo uuiei. piu..
