All speaking to begin at 7:30 p m. sharp. re) st Republicans of Winnebago county, Dlincis, are disgusted with Gover nor Tanner and his policy. It is alleged that Kansas post masters are compelled to contribute to the republican campaign fund. “Oyclone” Smith, postmaster at DeKalb, Texas, and a well known politician in the Lone Star State, died Sanday General Shafter was enthusiasti eally welcomed at Sycamore, Ill. He kiseed a little who presented him with flowers. The Southern girl Canton Manufac- turers’ Association has aunounced a | reduction of about 12 per cent in the wages of its operatives Mrs Maria Frey, living near Brighton, Iil., drowned berself in a well. She had werried over ber bus band, who is confiaed in an insane asylum. Bates county never had a better or more painstaking Probate Judge than the present incumbent. Judge Dalton has looked after the in llaw bad t | BEGGING THE QUESTION. The Butler Free Press published a caustic editorial upon Hen. Geo. B. Ellis, criticising and con- !text book law, and intimating that he was not sincere in his advocacy of the reduction of public official salaries Mr. Ellis wrotea clear and concise |statement of his attitude toward | both of these measures, giving good jand sufficient reasons to any fair,| unprejudiced mind for his vote asd jaction. He pointed out how thou | | sands of doliara had been saved to} | the people of the state by a previous | | text book law, which contracted with | | the book trusts for books at a saving | of from 25 to 59 per cent of what! the came boo for other Unfor:unately this contract | This con | ca sold in | 8tates | was only for five years jtract had expired and it devolved | upon the legislature of which Mr.! erto make a new | revert to} | Bilis wus @t | contrac st the trusts {tt eir or al selliog price for books | jand il the people If a | n passed restricting the | commission tot text books which | had beeu used under the old con | tract, there would have been nothing | lo prevent t trusts from 1 ee their own price aud the commission | would haye had its handa tied We| have no doubt that every represent atiye and senator who voted for that law did so with the expectation that the text books agreed upon by the eld commission would be retained We know that was Mr. Ellis’ under standing and desire. The chairman of that commission is the present superintendent of schools for the state anda republican. Eight of the ten populists’ votes in the house were recorded for the bill. All of this Mr. Ellis peints out in his argu ment, and, instead ef Mr. Atkeson meeting these points and pointing out wherin he was in error, he plays the part of a demagogue and talks about how Mr. Farris voted. It is a matter of little importance to our people how Mr. Farris voted on thie or any other question We presume he voted as his judgment and con- science dictated, as we know Geo. B Ellis did We hardship was entailed upon our peo- text books admit that something of a ple by having to change this fall, but the present Iaw pro vides for a continuance of the con tract until ‘otherwise provided by law,” which saves annually to our people from 50 to 60 per cent what they would otherwise have to pay for school books. Siace our people understand the new law they are well satisfied with it aud commend Mr. Ellis’ vote. JUDGE DENTON. | The republican judicial committee of this district met at Clinton Iaet Saturday and filled the vacancy on that ticket by the | Hon. C. A.

Butler so far has had ene appointment, and ane at night, Hov. D. A. Ball. While our sister city of Olinten has three in six days, : Hon. J. R. Waddell 20th, Congressman Cowherd 22nd and ex-Governor Stone 26th. Mr. Jackson went before the committee with Governor Stone and secured | his consent to speak at Butler on the! 26th. Chairman Cook consented to this arrangement. Oo Mr. Jackson's return notice to that effect was pub | lished in the Timgs. The first notive Mr Jackson had of the change wes! by seeing the appointment in the; St. Louis Republic. We can only} account for this treatment on the| theory that some one from Clinton had a stronger pull with Chairman Cook.

Governor Tanuer evidently has a miod of hie own and hasn’t let Mark Hanna dic tate bis actions in this maiter. But while we admire his courage we feel sorry for him. No one man is strong enough to combat the republican party, and a day of reckoning is surely in store for the governor.
