Mr. Allman said he worked on the same ranch with Horn and knew him well, and that he had never dreamed of his being the desperado and murderer that he is now painted to be.

Ep, Times: 1 am aware that I have no claim on the professional politicians and 1 do not address myself to the wire pullers and party fixers, But a lively interest in the public welfare and in the success of my party, prompts me to express the hope that in the ap- proaching city convention we may be emancipated from the narrow and selfish interests which have too often dominated the party, and consult rather the interests of the whole peo- ple. Ifany good citizen was asked what kind of a man should be mayor of Butler, he would reply that he should be & young man in full sym- pathy with the progressive spirit of the city: a man of recognized charac- ter, who would make a creditable appearance on all occasions; a man of business ability and undoubted i rity and one withoutany inter, est whatever in corporations that hold franchises from and have valu- able contracts with the city; a man of sufficient firmness to resist the im- portunities of jobbers and schemers; aman possessing natural affinity for reputable associates and credita- ble projects; a man ofsufficient prop- erty interests to appreciate the bur- dens of the taxpayers. Such a man is being talked of in the person of Ben. F. Moore. Ido not know that Mr. Moore wants the office, and indeed it would be a great sacrifice for him to accept it, but as a good progressive citizen and loyal democrat, we do not be- lieve he would shirk his duty if nom- inated.

It is annoying to know the number of operations performed for appendi- citis, ovarian and other troubles. We are told by men of high moral and professional standing that these op- erations are ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to save life. We do not question the good-intention—or~integrity of these gentlemen; but we do question the necessity of nine-tenths of these op- erations and we question a system of healing that teaches how to cut, rather than how to corkecT and cuRE without cutting. Anyone can cut a limb off, but who can cure the limb and make it useful?
