THE KINCAID NEWS. A Local Republican Newspaper. PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY KALPH WRIGHT. ROY R. MARSri, temporary manager.

KINCAID, KANSAS, ra again. The temperance program given by the Epworth League Sunday night was well attended and all were well pleased. It is our opinion that our young people gave King Alcohol a lick square between the eyes which he will feel the effects of in the days to come. We made a fight to secure an exchange of text books at this place, but like in many other things Selma came out behind because of lack of support from her own people. So we advise all to go to Kincaid Saturday or Monday and change their school books.

Thus you save trouble at the opening of school. It is reported to us that Zen Swank and Miss Josie Hensley were married in Garnett Saturday. Zen is one our successful young farmers. He has been batching for some time, but has concluded it is a bad business. Miss Hensley used to make this place her home, but for the last two years she has lived in Centerville.

They will soon be at home to their many friends on their farm west of town. We join with their their many friends in wishing them all kinds of success. We trust that the harvests of life will bring them health, wealth and happiness, Y'es, "Dad" and "Mam" and all the "kids" attended the show at Garnett Saturday. The small boy went and en JOB GO Tie NEWS Office, rule and a resolution of instruction (passed by a convention which he controlled by only a few votes) and led the party into a political path 'which leads to an open grave. Yet this is Burton's record in almost every county which he has visited.

will require the utmost effort to unite the breach made by Burton, and the fight he made at Kincaid, Wednesday, may lead to complications which will wreck any chance of success in this senatorial district for twenty years, but it is nothing to Burton, if he can get one vote out of it for United States senator. Party success sinks into insignificance before the mighty ambition of Burton to rule or ruin. Republicanism is nothing compared to Burtonism. Burton started his campaign by tearing down' Republicans, and has kept up a fight in the parly ever since. From Wyandotte to Hamilton county it has been tha- same.

His policy has been to secure the candidate or pave the way for his defeat. In Cowley, Bourbon, Wabaunsee, Riley, Johnson, everywhere he goes it is the same as at Kincaid. It is wreck and ruin. Burton can't be elected United States senator. Burton knows it Whatever bluff he makes, he knows the case is hopeless.

The solid Republican districts are almost unanimous for Baker, and Burton cannot have more than twenty-five votes in the next legislature. If he cannot defeat the election of a Republican senator, he might control the patronage because Dave Mulvane is national committeeman, and the Mul-vanes are his principal creditors. Federal datronage would put him in line for 1903. Burton has been a candidate for ten years, and has been constantly before the people. They have turned him down with great regularity.

To those who know him his ambition to be senator is laughable. This is a fact well known political headquarters. His chief claim to the position is the magnitude of his liabilities. Burton's candidacy would be pie for the opposition. His "paper" is in the hands of receivers galore.

The number of defunct banks in which Burton's notes turn up is a party scandal and has been for years. Linn county politicians knew this very well, and yen they attempt to force Anderson county to support Burton. Is it good policy or good politics to support for Unitsd States senator a man whose candidacy alone is almost a scandal, and causes even his supporters to whisper mysteriously about how his campitign expenses are met? Yet Linn county knew all this, and tries to force Anderson county Republicans to support him. Th'ei Eagle is a Republican paper believing in Republican principles, and will support Samuel Crum for state senator, yet we believe that Anderson county Republicans should know tu what sort of a man Linn county has tied him up by resolution to support for United States senator.

It is very much easier to criticize than to correct errors; to find fault than to be faultless. It is plain to be seen that the Democrats are the political fault-finders of to-day. There is one remarkable thing about William Bryan's prophecies, He has never yet made one that did not prove to be false. It will be difficult for Mr. to convince the public that he is either a artyr or a self-sacrificing patriot.

He has done nothing but escape a thrashing. Kansas City Journal. Parker Message: In 1S64 the Democrats in their National platform declared the war fcr the preservation of the Union a failure and denounced Abraham Lincoln in unmeasured terms. The copperhead element, of which Adlai E. Stevenson was a leader, called the soldiers "Lincoln hirelings" and "nigger stealers." Today the same outfit is giving aid and sympathy to the rebellion in the Philippines.

The pecple will do with them at the polls just'like they did George B. McClellan in 1804. FOR THE GOOD CF THE CAUSE. The Eagle is of the opinion that the time has arrived when a few remarks for the good of the cause, may not be out of order regarding the campaign for United Stales Senator. J.

R. Burton attended the convention at Kincaid Wednesday and kept his hand upon the button, forcing the Linn county delegates who had been instructed for him, to commit, against their better judgment, an act of the most foolish kind, one which will disturb the hitherto harmonious relation between these two counties, and will endanger party success for years to come. This is no new move on Burton's part. In his campaign in Kansas he has left behind him this year a trail of discord and partisan bitterness. In every congressional district BurUn.has carried an invasion, and his contests are blighting to Republican success.

Burton never considers the election of a candidate. His friends organize bolts in close districts and safe districts alike; force the nomination of undesirable candidates; create dlssentlons; engender bitterness and raise trouble generally. Anderson county Republicans, delegates and spectators alike, marveled at Burton's overbearing and selfish actions In the convention at Kincaid, when, with an Iron grip, he held the Linn county delegates, the aid of the unit PRINTING TO MlUl union while he waits. The men who have been working on the telephone line between here and Blue Mound, for about eleven days, finished setting the poles into town, Wednesday afternoon. The men went east of Blue Mound, yesterday, to begin putting up the wire.

H. C. Agent. NEW STORE! Jjew Qaods, Low Prices anfl 3 SQUARE DEAL AT Walker's. KIN KKHIXB, joyed himself immensely in looking at the big animals and snakes.

The gay young man went and took his modest, blushing sweet-heart from her prairie home. He astonished her several times during the day by his great knowledge of the things that go to make up a show. The young married couple went and enjoyed, themselves as in the courtship days of old. The tough went and found plenty of beer and whiskey, And good old father and mother went and looked in open-mouthed wonder at the tricks which they declare were nevei before done in the world, (but which havebeei. shown every year during the last four conturies.) Yes, they all went to the show, and in justice to Mr.

Wallace, they all came home well pleased. They all received an inspiration that will help them in ths future to solve the difficult problems of life. Y'es the show was a great success, LONE ELM ITEMS. Mrs. Gertie Carrier is on the sick list.

The M. E. Church was duly and appropriately dedicated last Sunday; quarterly meeting also closed on that day. A bad scare cloud and a dirt storm Tuesday gave hopes of good rain, which we sincerely hope may soon glad den our hearts. N.

Hunter has had the misfortune to have one of his best badly cut on a corn-cutting machine; he fears that he will have to shoot the horse. Miss Myrtie Lamay, of whom mention was made last week as having her eyes so badly burned with carbolic acid, Is ex tremely happy to find that hpr eyes are better, and the chances are that her face will not be badly scarred, as was at first feared. There was quite a disturbance on our streets Monday afternoon ovtr a store debt. A man from the country came In, sold some flax, took too much boone, and disputed his honest debt. It seems strange that after a man has received accommodations from the merchants, and haB gotten bread and meat for him self and family to live on while he had no money to pay for the necessities, that he should raise such a howl over a can of tomatoes.

The olher.day I saw a pretty little article in a magazine I happen to have. It is as follows: Well-bred persons never gossip. I make this statement positively and abide by it. If you want to be a Christian, do not gossip. A great deal of the misery in the world comes from idle gossip.

You may not have so many acquaintances who call themselves friends', you may not know so much of what is going on in tlie social world as gossip, but you will be nearer the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness. Suppose some one goes wrong, is it a real pleasure to hear It? Is it not degrading to repeat it? And then you have loved ones who might meet with a temptation they could not overcome would you like to hear thet published or passed from lip to lip of oihers? 'As ye would that others do to you, do ye even so to then von will not gossip. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Many of our farmers are cutting corn. Born to Ed Huffman and wife, Aug.

L. Ray sold six corn-harvesters this week, which sales are a good sign of thrift among the farmers; and indicate that wages are high and laborers few. Remember that Saturday and Monday are the dates for the exchange of school text-books at the post-office. Tibbetts McCrew will be here from Garnett with the books, Upon Inquiry by County Supt, Cox of this county, State Supt. Nelson rules that school books need not have all leaves and both covers in order to entitle owner to exchange privileges under the law.

"I wonder In what way 1 act like that monkey," was the romark of a young man at the show Saturday. To those who know him well the answer Is plain. The Republicans failed to organi.o a McKinlcy and Roosevelt club here Saturday night, That is right, brothers, Enjoy all the prosperity that McKlnley can bring to you, but be sure not to help him a bit to get his position as President.
