The suspense is over. Republicans of Republic county have met and named the men whom they expect will represent them at the county capitol for another year.

How foolish it is for a few men to get in to their heads the idea that they can always dictate to and rule such an educated and refined class of people as Republic county possesses.

SIMPSON First District, Second District, Third District, Fourth District, Fifth District, Sixth District, Seventh District, The Farmers' Alliance is non-partisan, but it is several degrees from being non-political. It is founded on politics. The fundamental principles upon which it has grown and nourished are questions which can be settled only by political action. The great mission of the Alliance is to educate men so that they know who to secure their just rights. In order for a man to be a benefit to himself or any body else the first thing that he must do upon entering the Alliance is to cast off the party collar and declare himself a citizen, determined to use the ballot for his own good.

Yes, the Alliance is political and it sounds the death knell of monopoly and monopoly politicians be they found in whatsoever party. The politics of the Alliance is principles, not party, and the men whom the Alliance supports must be true blue. Home Advocate, Mapleton, Iowa. COUNTY TICKET. According to a telegram, "lightning struck a man in Springfield, killed him, burned the sign of a cross on his back, and then dug a hola in the ground behind him the exact size and shape of a grave." It is also rumored that the electric bolt paid all the funeral expenses, ordered a monument or his grave, and offered to marry his widow; but this report lacks confirmation.

The name of Mr. Close was then presented for County Attorney, but as the gentleman positively declined, saying that he had been in possession of the office long enough for one man, also that Mr. Cooper was a good man and probably better qualified for the office, and that lie wanted to see the best man elected regardless of politics. -The namea of Taylor and Dillon were then presented, determining in nomination of the latter.

Whether woman, lovely woman, is man's equal intellectually ha long been an interesting subject of discussion among philosophers and thinkers, and, until comparatively recent times, the verd ct has nearly always been a.srtinst her. The juries, it must be remembered, however, have always been composed of men, and the entire impartiality of their conclusions has certainly not been above suspicion.

Certain moral and mental qualities men have always freely conceded to women, but they have held that for the most p.irt she was in every sense the weaker vessel, and not intended to plav anything but second fiddle in the march of the world's progress. But within the last, century the male mind has beeD rudely aroused from its state of complacent self satisfaction and forced to look for fresh arguments to support their comfortable old theory. Unfortunately for these masculine critics the more they have looked the less they have found that has afforded them an satisfaction. Ia literature and art, woman have gained places for themselves that the majority of their male contemporaries can enw. but cannot reach, and it seems more than likely that in a few years they will win highest distinctions iu scientific pursuits and the learned profusions.

Accidents seem to be in vogue just now. Not being satisfied with destroying several horses and human beings within the paft week, the green eyed monster saw lit to visit the person cf little Roy Hill, son of Andy Hill, living seven miles norhwest of Cuba, of whom everyone is familiar. The sequal to the accident and death of Roy takes but a moment to narrate. He was sent to the field to mow grass with a team and mower. The next seen he was laying dead upon the ground some distance from his work, the team having ran away, resulting in his sudden demise.

No marks or cuts were manifest upon his body, whatever, and it is thought that his death was caused by being thrown from the moving machine in such a manner as to dislocate his neck.
