It is about time the spring poet was getting ripe. We shall soon hear from him, or her. This county bas fewer candidates for the Republican nomination than any county whose list of candidate we have seen. We have made up our mind which should come out victorious in the struggle now being pulled off between Russia and Japan. but we are not ready to up" yet-not in shooting distance.

In this issue of The News we pablish the announcement of Henry Drum as a candidate for the Republican nomination for the office of Register of Deeds. Mr. Drum is a well-to-do farmer and lives in Scott township. He has lived in this county since 1858. If the Republicans of this county see fit to give Mr.

Drum the nomination for the office he seeks, he will no doubt he elected, and will make a good official. A Kansas man was the father of a handsome daughter who had a caller who was in the habit of coming to the house, holding her hand and talking foolishness to. her about three times a week. The old man was not particuly stuck on the youth on general principles and the conduct of the young man seemed to him to be about the mushiest he had ever noticed. Finally he concluded to give the girl a game of talk on the subject.

and said: "It oc. curs to me, Myrtle. that this young fellow who is hanging around here every other evening is a little the softest buman I have ever noticed in my journeying through this vale tears. If he should ever get out in the pasture and among the cattle who are hungry right now for something green he wouldn't last a minute. If he is a specimen of the young men of this generation, the race is petering out mighty fast it seems to me." But instead of being crushed, as the old man had expected.

the womyoung an opened her hand bag and pulled out a letter which the old man had written to the girl's mother some 25 years previously, in the course of which he called her his "lovey dovey" six times, his sweet violet" five times, his "darling rosebud" seven times; told her how he was pining away to a shadow because he had not seen her for three days: spoke of the honey en her lips three times, and wound up by telling her that all he had to live for was the anticipation of the time when he should once more look into her eyes and hold her soft little hand once more in his. occurs to me, pa," said the daughter as she carefully folded the letter up and put it away, "that the cattle must not have been so very hungry 25 years ago or they would not have overlooked so good a thing as you." 'The old man concluded that it was time for him to pass, for he saw that she had him. Moral: Probably the young people are a good deal as they used to be.Mail and Breeze. A Good -Read It.

Shannon Jones, Uniontown, Kans. Dear Friend. -I see by our last paper hat Mr. Toler is dead. have been tudying and worrying all this winter and wondering if there was not some vay to get those old people out of that place where they seem to be so poorly cared for.

Now, Mr. Jones, don't you believe that among Mrs. Toler's large circle of fiends, that there would be enough of them only too glad to pay so much a year, say $10, as a free will offering as the Lord has prospered them. We will head the list with $10, and will send the money as soon as the arrangements are made to care for her. I thought if you could rent a house there, ard hire some woman to take care of her.

then she would be where she could see her old friends and feel at home. I know since her husband has died, her life there, must be a very unhappy one. I feel like so many would give some of the Lord's money in that way if you would make it known to your readers. I expect you will ask the question: "Why are you SO interested in Mrs. Toler?" First I would say, I am interested in God's work everywhere.

Second, I am acquainted with Mrs. Toler, and feel Hike she is too good a woman, and has done all she could for the sick and poor, as long as she was able, and worked faithfully till her poor body gave out trying to make a living, and now that she is helpless she should be well cared for. I feel that when we help the needy we are only lending to the Lord. I shall await the results of my suggestions. think our time must be about out for your paper, so I will send you a dollar for renewal, for we don't want to miss a copy, as it is so full of precious home news, and we do so much enjoy it.

We all like the Arm stand you take against wrong. May God bless you in your good work. I want to thank you from the depths of my heart for your -Bees Honey and Tar will prevent pneumonia.

kind words in my behalf that came out in your paper several months ago. It did us all so much good. When I look back on those awful days of struggle and think how hard we all worked.and how I wept and prayed that God would save us from financial ruin and help us pay our honest debts, and how much we had to take, and be called dishonest, when God knows we wanted to pay our debts as we could, but God, in His own good time, gave us more than I had praying for. If it had not been for a few of my good old friends, who stood by me with money and good words, I believe I should have gone down under the strain. Dear old Uncle John Belinger.

Mrs. R. M. Griffith and Grandma Stephens, and several others who were such good friends of mine. I shall never cease to pray for God's choicest blessings to rest upon them.

Your friend, MARY E. SMITH. Mrs. J. B.

Withers Dead. Undertaker Konantz received word here Monday, that Mrs. John B. Withers, who has been in the asylum at Osawatomie, this state, for the past 25 years, was dead. The remains were sent to Moran and J.

W. Moore took the hearse from here and met the re mains there and brought them to Bronson. Short funeral services were held, and the remains were laid to rest in the Bronson cemetery Mrs. Withers formerly lived with her husband on their farm on Dry Ridge, seven miles north of here, where they raised a large family. Some of the children were quite small when their mother lost her reason, but they lived on the farm with their father till they were all nearly grown.

The children are now all married and scattered to different parts of the country. The husband, John B. Withers, is still living. Mrs. Romans Dead.

Wednesday, March 16, 1904, the remains of Mrs. Antony Romans, were interred in the Wood cemetery. Romans was sick but a short time when she was called away. 'The deceased came to Kansas in 1860 and was one of the early settlers. Emily Bartlett was born May 9, 1829, at Adelphia, Hocking county, Ohio.

She was narried to Peter Eby, January 11, 1854. Of this union, one child, Mrs. Belle Wood, survived the father. February 11, 1868, Mrs. Eby was married to Anthony Romans.

Of this union two children were born, Mrs Lettie Marks and Mrs. Myrtle Dills. Mrs. Romans was a member of the United Brethren Church since her youth and later on united with the Methodist church at Redfield. Rev.

Green conducted the services at the Methodist church. The bereaved family have the sympathy of their many friends. -Scientists announce that Bright's Disease, diabetes, cystitis and every form of kidney and urinary trouble as well as rheumatism, lumbago and similar effections do not and cannot exist in the great pine forests.
