We would rather our boy could play the "Maiden's Prayer" or sing officers murdered some Boer prisoners Kitchener had them hung for the laws of war are very strict against murdering prisoners. The Reflector don't seem to understand the difference between war and murder. You kill a dog, that's neighborhood gossip for the little boys.

Agosa for Geo. W. Crane Mr. Dewey showqri himself an excellent proof reader and it is said Ed Adams of Cranes seldom found it necessary to make changes and printed articles from some of the best writers in Kansas. Few know too that Mr.

Dewey is on the staff of the Kansas City Journal and always picks out the poems which are put in the last colemn of the editorial page. His selection of "Sweet Alice, Ben'Bolt," was like a flash out of a clear' sky, and his reprinting "A Ramblin'Rake of Poverty," and "A Son of a Uam-bjlier," brought back old times in a bunch. It is to be regretted that Mr. Dewey don't do something for Harper's or the Century. He could give their pages a literary air that would appeal to the ladies' clubs im The Democrat is out for Harmony with a big H.

Last week we offered to support The Kansas City Journal says the President has invited Cy Leland to Washington and that and Governor Bailey have pone and that it is possible Leland will be made secretary of the interior. Hully Gee! The Reflector suggests Welsh and Aguinaldo as a presidential ticke. We suggest a Burton and Metcalf platform. The Topeka Capital suggests Captain Hardy for vice-president with Weleh. That would never do because Hardy like Captain Boltwood is a straight Republican.

Petitions are out for A. C. Menor and Gideon Fo'k for mayor. They are both fine men. Menor is the o'd soldier candidate and will command a strong vote.

G. Folk is an ex-mayor and fcvery time the town gets in the hole financially the people cut loose and elect him mayor to straighten things ot. He'd make a good run. Charles Parker, whom we understand to be a Roosevelt Republican, for Mayor of this town. Parker would be fine but the gang won't support him.

Now what's the matter with E'mer Forney. He is one of the best men in Abilene; straight, as a string a fine business man. He is a leader of. Abilene '8 great creamery interests. Why not withdraw everybody and run Elmer Forney by acclamation.

mediately. In no small degree the superiority of T. Emmet Dewey's literary excellence is based on his profound scholarship, the results of an extensive and exciting career as a Freshman at Rochester university aud at Emporia college his Alma Mater, The capital is quite right in saying that T. Emmet Dewey will leave a hole through which you can drive an elephaut. The Capital which is a trifle mechanical, seldom gets so close to nature.

Secret Work. The Topeka Capital very justly observes that the departure from Abilene of T. Emmet Dewey leaves a hole in Abilene literary circles that you could drive an elephant through. Nothing could be truer. Mr.

We were talking about a murder which a man named Moore made oath had been committed by a man -named Metcalf who is United States pension Agent at Topeka.
