Long will no doubt become ac
quainted with the fact that he has
an opponent before the campaign
progresses many days more.
The Hutchinson News will prob
ably realize, about the 8th of next
November, that Claude Duval had
used some other awful strong argu
ment aside from poetry.
The Sultan of Sulu recently left
his capitol and no one knows where
he has gone. An exchange intimates
that he has come to the United
States and is going to stump Utah
for Mark and Mack.
More American lives have been
lost in the Philippines than these
islands ever were, or ever will be
worth. Because human life cannot
be figured in dollars and cents.
Will some spell-binder deny this
statement?
The policy of the Democratic
party is to make the same proposi
tion to the Filipinos that has been
promised Cuba. How can any
American citizen say it would not
be right? If you are thoroughly in
love with freedom and liberty you
will say that all nations should be
free and this is no exception.
We would like to see some of the
fellows who are howling about the
disgrace that it would bring upon
our flag, should we make the Filipi
nos free, and whose occupation is
running for office, go over to those
islands and help in the "benevolent
assimilation." It is always the loud
est howler when furthest from dan
ger.
Do not be deceived by anyone
who tells you that the Democrats
are in favor of hauling down the
flag and abandoning the Philippine
Islands. It is not true and no pub
lic speaker ever said so on the
stump. Read the platform of the
Kansas City convention in regard
to the islands and they intend to do
just exactly what that plank says..
. The Candidates.
W. J. "Woodard, candidate for
Probate Judge is well known to all
the voters "of Meade county. He
served a term as trustee of this town
ship and was a good official. He
will see you and further press his
claim.
Geo. S. Selvidge, for County At
torney, will make a competent offi
cer. He served" one term and you
can examine his record, it is good.
The voters of this county will do
the proper thing by eleting Mr. Sel
vidge. John Elliott has served only one
year and his record is good. He
was elected last fall for an unexpired
term. He has made a good officer
and is entitled to a second term.
Miss Maggie Martin, the nominee
for County Superintendent, is one
of the most popular teachers in this
county and is now teaching the
grammar department of the Meade
schools. That she would make a
good officer, no one doubts and will
get a large vote as she is very popu
lar with everyone.
John F. Conrad has served one
full term as commissioner and is en
titled to a second term. Mr. Con
rad has done his duty as the servant
of the people and they should
endorse him for his course. His
action in the Wiley case alone
should overwhelmingly elect him.
We now find that Wiley and his few
followers are using all their efforts
to defeat Mr. Conrad the same as
they did John Innis last year. Are
the people of Meade county going
to permit Wiley, Fuhr, Painter and
others dictate who the officers of
this county shall be or will you elect
men who are opposed to them and
do not belong to their crowd? Now,
we don't ask you to take our word
for this, but examine and enquire
for yourself.' The question is: "Are
you going to sustain John Conrad
in his position or will you turn him
down?"
The Speakers.
Immediately after after the con
vention Mr. Bennett rapped for
order and appointed a committee to
escort Messrs. Duval and Ravens
craft to the hall and Mr. Duval be
ing introduced addressed one of the
largest and most attentive audiences
that ever listened to a public speak
er in this city. He presented the
issues in a clear, logical manner and
was warmly congratulated by his
friends. As an orator Mr. Duval
need take no back seat and is able
to hold his side of the question with
most any of the public orators and
in this we do not except his oppon
ent and think that he is also abund
antly able to take care of him. Mr,
Duval, with a few years experience
will be in the foremost ranks and
during his speech Saturday the at
tention was so strict that most of
the time a pin could have been drop
ped and heard all over the hall
We think it the best speech we have
heard this year and this is the opin
ion of many others. Even Repub
licans said he was a good speaker
and were surprised. The fusion
forces can well feel proud of Mr,
Duval as a man whose integrity is
beyond question and upon the floor
of the House would soon take rank
with the best men of that body.
After Mr; Duval had finished, Mr,
Ravenscraft was introduced and
made a few remarks on state issues
What Mr. Ravenscraft lacks as 1
public orator, he makes up for as a
first class man and an untiring work
er in the legislature in which body
he served two terms from Clark
county, defeating Harry Bone four
years ago. Mr. Ravenscraft was a
member of the live stock committee
four years ago and was responsible
for considerable of the stock yards
legislation of that session and was a
valuable member in other matters
Mr. Ravenscraft should be elected
Senator from this district that he
might continue his excellent work
already begun in the House.
At the conclusion of the meeting
a vote of thanks was extended to the
Glee club, consisting of Messrs
Norman Elliott, John Russell, Jess
McKinney, Alf Siegel, Tom Hotz
and Mrs. Fred Gray, for the excel
lent music furnished.
A vote of thanks was also extend
ed to some unknown person who
had placed a beautiful boquet on the
speakers table.
The re-union committee was also
thanked for the beef and other pro
visions furnished which made the
free barbecue possible.
Hanna now wants to debate with
Bryan. He must be getting short
on speakers when he has to take
the stump himself.

reunion notes.
Wednesday morning was spent in social
intercourse and renewing old acquaintship
among the old soldiers.
At 2 o'clock p. m. a parade was formed at
the camp, headed by the Meade cornet band.
A line of march was taken to the court house
where the reunion was opened by the Presi
dent, R. W. Griggs, invocation by Chaplain
Newman of the Ft. Dodge Soldiers' Home,
followed by music by the Meade band, after
which the audience joined in singing ''Amer
ica," led by the choir. Addresses of wel
come were delivered by President Griggs,
Secretary Painter, Capt. W. C. Osgood, and
the daughter of the regiment, Mrs. Josie
Rhodes. The same were responded to by
comrades . R. Quinn and Henry Mott, of
Beaver county, Okla., when the audience
joined the choir in singing "The battle cry of
freedom." Then Miss Agnes Wehrle ren
dered a splendid recitation, followed by an
other very appropriate recitation by Mrs.
Randall, followed by a chorus, The Star
Spangled Banner." Miss Buelah Gilpin, of
Ft. Dodge, then gave a fine recitation, when
all joined in singing "John Brown." After
some splendid music by the Meade band and
Ft. Dodge drum corps an adjournment was
taken until 8 o'clock p. m.
At that time President Griggs called the
camp fire to order, announcing that past
President R. Buis would preside. The pro
gram opened by singing "Rally 'round the
flag" followed by camp fire speeches by com
rades D. L. Sweeney of Dodge City, J, R.
Sencenich of the Soldiers' home; then singing
"Marching through Georgia" in which the
audience took a lively part. J. H. Ca mp,
late 1st Sarjt. in 17th Virginia Cavalry, C. S
A., made a stirring camp fire talk, after
which all joined in singing1' "John Brown."
Short talks were made by comrade Henry
Mott and Chaplain Newman, closing the
camp fire by some stirring music by Engle-
wood drum corps.
Thursday morning was spent in general
comradesh ip talks about camp. After dinner
Capt. W. C. Osgood formed a parade, with
drum corps in lead marching to court house
where President Griggs called the meeting to
order and Rev. Stamper, late of Co. F 43rd
Tenn. C. S. A., led in prayer, after which
comrade J. R. Sencenich delivered an ad
dress, followed by music by Mea de band,
when all joined in singing "Marching thro'
Georgia." Miss Sue Painter 'gave a recita
tion, which was well rendered, after which
Phyllis Fuhr sang a solo that drew from the
immense crowd loud applause. Fine recita
tions were given by Nellie Sumpter and
Genevieve McMeel, then a song by two little
children known as Mrs. Steele's children
Misses Hazel Rieman and Ada Kessler then
sang a duet. Miss Clara Fick gave a fine
recitation after which, by request, Had Lane
of Liberal gave a Dutchman's story of his ex
perience in his first battle. A recitation by
Miss Edna Stutsman was splendidly rendered
and little Miss Ida Perry sang a song. For
one of her years she sang remarkably well.
Recitations were given by Miss Jessie Nett,
of Fowler, who for one so young does grand
ly. Miss Carrie Campbell recited next in
her trained style after which Miss Jessie Nett
came forward with a solo. The young ladies
of Meade gave a red, white and blue drill in
uniform which was executed in a way that
did credit to the girls and those who assisted
them in preparing the drill. While the girls
in the drill were preparing to sing, Capt.
Mott by request rendered the song that has
made him famous at reunions, "Joe Bowers"
when the drill girls returned and sang "Red,
White and Blue." The band then, played a
patriotic air, after which the audience arose
and joined the choir in singing "Blest be the
tie that binds," and an adjournment was tak
en till the evening.
(On account of not having time the Secre
tary will furnish the balance of the minutes
next week.)

While Bryan's asleep in far Lincoln, 'tis best.
To talk swiftly, sweet Teddy, disturb not Ins

How lofty, sweet Teddy, thy strenuous life.
E'en Mark Hanna felt in the course of the strife;
And daily we wonder, as Piatt rises high,

How pleasant to feel that a fighter is blest.
And death in the far away Philippines best,

With the added proviso, "Expansion or bust!"

How wanton thy words thro' thy snowy teeth

EDUCATIONAL.
A comparison of the annual report of the
schools of Meade county for the year ending
June 30, 1899, with that for the corresponding
period 1900 shows an increase in school pop
ulation of forty-five persons. The average
length of school term in weeks has increased
from ijyi to 22. The average wages of
male teachers per month has risen from $41
to $47.50 and of female teachers from $31.10
to 32.20. The disproportionate advance in
the average wages of male teachers is due to
the fact that of the 24 months taught by male
teachers, 1 7 were in the schools of Meade
and Fowler where the highest salaries were
paid.
While the number of pupils, length of
school term and teacheis' wages have advanc
ed as shown above, the average tax levy for
school purposes has fallen from 1 4)4 mills to
12 mills.
The estimated value of school property re
mains practically the same and the bonded in
debtedness has decreased $2010.
Notwithstanding the advance in teachers'
wages the number of applicants for certificates
has fallen from 49 to 35. 1
The next annual report will show a more
marked increase in the average pay of female
teachers.
District clerks will please report employ
merit of teacher and commencement of
school term. J. A. Porterfield,

Mailing a Magazine.
Eighteen men, aided by the fastest mailing
appliances, are kept on a rush every month
getting The Ladies' Home Journal oS to its
subscribers. The first shipments are started
about the middle of each month, and from
that time until the twenty-fifth the magazines
pour out of the Journal's publishing office by
the two-horse-dray load. On the twenty-fifth
of each month every Journal has reached its
dtstination, and work in the mailing depart
ment slackens for a few days. Some idea of
the tremendous size of the Journal's subsrip
tion list may be gained when it is known that
forty tons of mailing type is required to set
up the names of subscribers. There are three
quarters of a ton of each numeral, and it re
quires twenty thousand galleys to accommo
date the subscribers' names in type. This
stock would equip six or eight large daily
newspapers. As many as sixty-five composi
tors are employed setting the names of the
Journal's subscribers in type printers enough
to set the type for the biggest metropolitan
daily newspaper. The expenses for postage
paid by rhe Journal approximate $75,000 a
year.
