There being no Township Central Com mittee in this Township, I, as a member of the County Republican Central Com mittee, announce that the Eepublican primaries, which are announced to take place on Saturday, October 10, will be held at the usual voting place in the vil lage of Collyer, from 10 o'clock a m. un til 4 o'clock p. m. of said day. J. C. Bkown. The Great Western National fair at Bismarck Grove this week has been a crowning triumph. This section of Kansas has not been represented to any considerable extent. POOR OLD JACK. Ellsworth has a ciazy old apology for a man whose proper place is in the asylum for the insane. This view is charitable toward Z. Jackson. To call him sane, is to brand him a demon. He thinks he writes for a newspaper. He really scratches off very badly-arranged billings gate for a privy poster which he calls the jVc-.jo. It has been more than a ?ear since we sent a copy of the Would to Jackson's den. His privy poster still comes to this office. It is of no possible value, and this explains why be can af ford to givo it away. The cap., small cap. and italic jumble, tar ink and rotten pa per with which this old man thinks he fights nearly all his neighbors form an el egant emetic for any respectable newspa per man. But the good people of Ells worth are abundantly able to take care of themselves. This old crank as deposed from the Ellswoith postmastership some two years ago. Since then ho has hated Hanbnck and every friend of Hanback's. Tho brainless old puppy, in his privy poster of this week, says: "None but a 7 hie would suggest tho name of W. S. Tilton for state auditor." He capitalizes and italicizes thief. His elegance of diction would not be reflected fairly with the word formed any other way. What v$ want now is to call tho attention of our newspaper friends to this miserable old excrescence on Kansas journalism. After his character total lack of character, v,e mean is understood, we aie content. Wo are not a candidate for state auditor, but a good many of our editorial friends have named us in very pleasant terms for the position. We value above prico their friendship, and shall always try to merit it. Madam Wahl, of Wa-Iieeney, was in town the first of tho weok, telling fortunes and attending to other matters She raked in a few dimes from anxious maidens and loe-lorn swains, and, we understand, several of tho older heads patronized the Madam quite extenshely. Gt ainficld Golden Belt. . County Surveyor Ferris has been surveying another new town site this week. As usual, it is in Gove county. It is about seven miles west of Collyer, the same distance east of Buffalo Park, and on tho great TJ. P. railway, Kansas Divis ion. There seems to be a sort of con spiracy to keep back tho name of this embryo city. At any rate, we have not yet heard it. Our readers have doubtless noticed the advertisement of Hogin & Cowick, lawyers and land agents. Of the compe tency of these gentlemen wo have a high opinion. Mr. Hogin was admitted to tho practice of law in 1878. He has practiced his profession in both Iowa and Kansas. Mr. Cowick is a lawyer of experience and a public-spirited gentleman. He was for years the secretary of the Atchison coun ty, Mo., Agricultural and Mechanical as sociation, and took a leading part in the building up of the important town of Tarkio, in that county. This fact will be better realized when we add that ho ran a newspaper also. We request that our friends give these gentlemen a. vote of confidence to the extent of seeing whether we have over-estimated them. If we had to single out one from the many pleasant calls "we are in the habit of receiving at this office, we perhaps would have to make an exception in favor of that by Master Willie Stajt on Monday. He stepped in with a smile over his face and a straight look from his brown eyes, said, "Good morning," ' and added, with a sweetly modulated, kind, but earnest voice, "I guess you made a mistake in your paper last week." We asked him how. He stated, in the samo frank, pleasant manner, that our boy was not on his trapeze when he fell, but was at another place. We told 'Willie that we had been misinformed, were sorry, and would give him justice in this week's pa per. It frequently happens that a news paper unintentionally places men in a false light. Few of them are as brave as Willie Stayt in coming to the office, and ptating the case fairly. We suspect that Willie's borae training has something to do with his honorable methods. j Salina has her J: A. Kebon. ,. ,, Mr. S. M. Hutzel. went-to Topeka on Thursday. D. M. Henkel is on another trip into Nebraska. A. F. Tosh is building a residence on his claim. B. F. Morgan has been down the road this -week. Once more the wind wipes the dust from the ground. Dr. Upshaw, of Enterprise, in this state, will locate here in a few weeks. That rollicking Will Hamilton was in town yesterday, drumming for his wares. Jo. Marks has been putting up a new house on his claim, in Ogallah township. The familiar phiz of Chas. Weeks again looms up this week at Yerbeck's store. G. F. McKnight, his brother W. E. informs us, is confined to his bed at Clay Center by sickness. Mr. J. H. Baker spent a portion of the week at the new city, between Coll yer and Buffalo Park. , ! . Mr. J. P. Smith, of the Saline valley, has matured corn whose seed was planted after the hail storm of June 1G. Mr. G. C. Stebbins, the land agent, started by Tuesday's train to Illinois. He expects to be absent about two weeks. A World reporter hears that the house of S. E. Hogin, Esq., down on Sand creek, has been blown down again. J. F. Wayland, agent for the Mosler, Bahman & Co. safes, was in town yester day. He sold W. B. Kritchfield a large Mr. E. S. Millard has moved his stock of goods into the building which was recently occupied by Dr. Scott as a drug store. Land attorneys like our order circu lars. Anybody can make out an intelli gent order on one of them, and make him self understood. W. O. Beardwell, nine miles north of town, tells us that ho husked, a few days ago, fifty-five bushels of corn from an acre of ground. The McKnight Bros.' excursion reach ed Wa-Keeney at the appointed time, las Monday evening. Like the other schemes of the boys, it was a success. . The lumber yard formerly occupied by W. T. Hunter is doing a good busi ness. The shedding has been built anew, and presents a neat appearance. . Bruce Sanders, the big land boomer of Grinnell, is going to Iowa to attend the Montgomery county fair. He will combine business and pleasure. . Miss Luolla Ferris started, yesterday morning, to Aikansas City, in this state, where she has again been engaged to teach a department of the public schools. -. The tuo hours' lateness of tho oast bound express tiain, Thursday morning, was the result, we are told, of tho back wardness in making connections at the Denver depo. Mr. G. D. Baker, tho enterprising traveling agent" and correspondent of the Topeka Common-wealth, was in tho city yesterday, looking up the interests of that excellent journal. Twenty desks and seats and five rear seats have arrived for the now school room. They are known as the Union School desk, and arc substantially made. W. B. Kritchfield is the agent for this desk. A 'pleasant ball came off at Operas Hall, Monday evening, in honor of Misses Luella Ferris and Bessie Kelly, both of whoniAvere preparing to depait for tem porary sojourns in other portions of the state. T. E. Moore must have lots of guests at his Commercial House. . At any rate, after not having been long in using up that many note heads and letter heads, he had us print him a fresh five hundred of each last week. We have reveled in the sweet fields of Eden long enough this week to do some nice job work for him, and to hear him remark, that the Oakes House is crowded entirely beyond the capacity of the regular beds. This office has turned out some print ing for W. S. McGinnis. He has em barked in the real estate business. He is an old settler, a good talker, and will be apt to stir Up the land seekers. His of fice is with John A. Nelson. It is becoming evident that some, if not all, of tho candidates for county offi ces have something which they desire to air in explanation or extenuation of their candidacies. These things generally are personal to themselves. The regular prices for business local notices will, therefore, be charged for communications of this character. If any man in Kansas locates himself oftener in a new town for the practice of his profession than J. E. Newell, formerly of Morse & Newell,, of Wa-Keeney, does, we would like to see him. It would oc cupy too much space for us to follow him to Gaylord, Topeka and all the way back to Downs, where, the Kirwin Republican states, he has just "located for the prac tice of his profession' & .CRAWFORD COUNTY SXS: iii-i - TEM. ; i y The Primary Election to Be HelS in Each Township on Octo ber 10. At 2 o'clock r. ar., sharp, on Saturday, August 29, 1885; according to the call of the chairman, the f"ll membership of the Eepublican Central committee of Trego county met in the Wobld office. The Crawford County system of nomi nating candidates for the various county offices was adopted. The time of holding the primary elec tions in the various townships was set for October 10, 18S5. Tho following rules were adopted for the i GOVEIttfaiEXT OF THE PlUMABIES: 1. The chairman of each, township com mittee shall designate the place of holding the primary in his township by a printed notice in some newspaper of general cir culation in his township, for four consec utive weeks prior to said primary, and shall also post a printed notice thereof at tho place so designated for at least ten days prior to said primary. 2. Tho township committee shall con stitute the board for the primary elec tions, any vacancies to be filled as for a genera election. 3. Said board shall record the names of all electors voting, and shall make a cor rect tally of all the votes cast for each and every candidate; pi ovided, That no per son who has not acted with the Eepubli can party shall be eligible to vote at these primaries, unless he shall commit himself to the support of the entire ticket nomi- .nated, or to some specific poition of it. 4. Any Eepublican who will be entitled to vote at the next general election, and who will pledge himself to the support of tho ticket nominated, shall be entitled to vote at tho primaries. 5. The result of each primary shall be signed and certified to by each member of the board, sealed in their piesence, ad dressed to chairman of central committee and delivored to tho chairman of the township committee, whoso duty it shall bo to doliver it to tho chairman of the central committee within five days there after. 6. Each return shall consist of the tally sheet, to which shall bo attached tho printed notice of the primary oleotion in its respective township, and all the ballots cast at such primary. 7. All candidates, whoso names appear on the tickets at these .primaries, will be assessed their equal share of tho neces sary expenso in printing said tickets and blanks, payment of tho same to be mado to the chairman of the central committee on or before the ICth of October. Each and every township, to bo entitled to a coiuit by the central committee as a can vassing board, must conform to the lules and regulations herein prescribed. W. S. Tilton, Chairman Co. Eep. Cen. Committee. B. C. Eicii, Secretary. Concerning Candidates. Chas. H. Gibbs, as will be seen else wheie, is a candidate for the nomination for county treasurer at the hands of the Eepublican party at the primaries on the tenth day of noxt month. Charloy is an old settler, a successful business man, and popular wherever, he is known. If the mantle of victory is to be thrown over his form, the people of Trego county will have no-room for complaint. George Baker is a candidate for sheriff again. There is perhaps not a man in tho county who, under the same circum stances, "would not be. He has made a model officer in every respect. There has been, no brag or fuss and feathers in his administration. What there lias been for him to do, he has done fearlessly, cheer fully and efficiently. As yet, no opposi tion to him has asserted itself, and the Eepublicans of Trego county wiil reflect credit on their judgment if they remain united in securing the nomination and election of Mr. Baker. We think it fair to assume that Trego county holds a great many men who, like ourself, see in the official conduct of Sheriff Baker very much to commend. 4 A ruling of considerable interest to land seekers and their attorneys has just been handed down from the commissioner of the general land office. It embraces tho proposition that, on the opening of tho TJ. S. land offices at the regular morn ing hour, mail matter shall have the prec edence over business at the" counter. This ruling will perhaps have a decided tendency toward resisting the formation of the big crowds which of late have been formed just outside the door of tho land office at this place, ready to walk in at 9 o'clock. We speak of these crowds, how over, with entire respect. We never knew of any misbehavior on their part. In fact, the fairness of this recent riding of the land commissioner does not show up very plainly to the writer. J. Will Lawrence is the kind of a neighbor we like to have. When he has a corner on news, he reveals it to a Wobld reporter, and thus gives the peo ple the benefit thereof. Lawrence & Hall, he tells us, hav,e sold ten beef cows to W. S. Harrison, whose average weight is 1,204 pounds, and one of which weighs 1,510 pounds. Will says he knows that these cows have lived exclusively on the buffalo-grass range for two years past They are four years old. He wants somebody to make a better showing than this in range cattle if it can be done. Mrs. T. E. Moore, of Wa-Keeneyrahd Miss Bailey, of Wisconsin, are visteihg their friends, Mrs. Jndd, Fox an&'-Miss Crosby of our div.-ffays Star Sentinel, j 7 Mr Jobneon,: of Atchison, has been visiting Gv W. White, his nepheir, of this eity, this week. He is well pleased with the country, and has purchased 3,000 acres of land near "Wa-Keeney, which he will use as a stock ranch. He, in company with Mr. White, took a trip out to Trego county this week. ICinvin Republican, j Capt. Hanna has been visiting here this week. He has come to the conclu sion that he is no ''rascal," as he still holds the fort at the Wa-Keeney land of fice. Sahiia journal. Itis barely possi ble that the captain will have cause to modify his mind before he clears the copse. ; Mr. Cochran, the pleasant gentleman who is in partnership with Lawyer Eedd, at Ness City, has been in town the most of the week. Ho came up on business, but has been waiting a portion of the time for his wife to come on from some place to tho east of this, where sho has been visiting. 4 Mr. James Kelly and his daughter, Miss Bessie, went to Topeka on Tuesday. Miss Kelly returns there to continue her course in Bethany College. Mr. Kelly went to tho Bismarck fair, Kansas City and Leavenworth. A part of his business has been to add materially to his fall stock of goods. Last Monday was the day for exten sive business at the government land of fice at this place. Its like had not occur red before, and has not since. Register Hanna, with his regular urbanity, informs us that on that day thirty-se-ven home stead and thirty-one timber-culture en tries were instituted, and about 100 con testcases set for hearing. The onslaught was so immense that a portion of tho bus iness had to be held in abeyance until tho next day. Tuesday was a great day for late trains at this place. Out in Colorado, between Bagdad and Hugo, we learn Lfrom Mr. Patterson, the accommodation train coming east became detached on the main track. One part of the train ran into the 'other part, knocking seven freight cars frgm the track, and mashing them badly. This wreck delayed about four hours the express train which was due at Wa-Keeney at 7:15 a. m. This side of Buffalo Park, tho express train was delayed about four hours longer by the enfrine giving out. The accommoda tion arrived hero, we believe, about 2 o'clock Wednesday morning. Geo. Steele lives in Ness county. He staited to take about thirty head of cattle belonging to A. N. McLenan, of Ells worth, through the last winter. He got through with three or four of them. On fhe ground that he should have shown the hides, Mc. refused to pay Steele. Steele sued him for one hundred dollars' damages. Depositions in tho case were taken at this place last Saturday. On the 19lh inst., depositions will be taken at Buffalo Park. Depositions are to be taken at another place or two. Nelson represents the prosecution, and Sam Smith, of Ness City, the defense. This seems to bo the Clarke-Greenwood case over again on a smaller scale. COUNTY CANDIDATES. ron TREASURES.
