Walton, a successful business man has been nominated on the Republican County ticket for the office of Constable of Helena township. While this is no great big office it is a concession and a sign that protends much good for the future recognition of a loyal, a patriotic citizen and we feel that he will compare favorably along side of the other candidates and that he will receive a hearty support from all classes if for no other reason than that the race is duly entitled to some recognition along political lines.. It is the duty of our people to use all honorable emans toward his election. And It is a fast fast world. In a recent issue under the caption His Sins Have Found Him Out, some of our friends seem to think that we were assailing the church, they expressed no sympathy for the man but thought that if he did the church was blameless in the premises. No we disclaim any intention of in anyway reflecting on the church. No one who is on the outside has more respect and lends more support according to their means than ourselves and we disclaim any intention to reflect in any way on the church. Our sole object was to show up to the public a man who was a disgrace to the church and was using the same as a mask to hide behind with his permicious deviltry who should be shown up and denounced from the house top as a menance to the morals and good of the community. With Walton as constable and the old realiable Cap. Adamson to show him the ropes Helena Township will have an excellent brace of peace officers Congressman Chas. N. Pray will make a progressive campaign and be triumphantly re-elected. Hew to the line in the pending campaign let the chips fall wheer they may. The republicans are getting wise to the fact that the colored vote in this county is the balance of power and have at last accorded them recognition on their county ticket. There are yet some of the weak kneed candidates to be relegated to the rear. REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET For Congress CHARLES N. PRAY. For Clerk Supreme Court .. JOHN T. ATHEY For Railroad Commissioner E. A. MORELY POLITICAL Capt. Adamson the genial and accommodating official of Judge O'Donnell's court had a walk away for a renomination and will have the same in the general election. Cap. is one of the best officials that ever held office in this county and it is only a question of time until he will be promoted to a higher office. Everybody is for Cap. and Cap. is for everybody, with such men as him holding public office who does his full duty to the county and the people alike at all times there is no question or hesitation in giving to them a hearty support from all classes. The following are the county tickets nominated by the republican and democratic conven- tions: REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET For Representatives— REV. J. F. McNAMEE ..RICHARD LOCKEY, Jr. . J. A. WERNER E.

Judge Langhorn, O'Donnell, Guthrie, will be the leading candidates in a non-partisan contest for Justice of the Peace. PERSEVERANCE Splendid Paper Read by Mrs. Henrietta House at 1st anniversary of second Baptist Church. Perseverance means, in short, to "Follow up." Hence, Patience and Perseverance overcome the greatest difficulties. The stone is hard the drop is small, but a hole is made by a constant fall. Again: Perseverance signifies to continue in a given cause, in spite of discouragements in order to obtain our ned. Therefore always watch and pray and not faint, on the way, recorded in Isaiah 30th Chap. 21st verse; namely: Thine ears shall hear a word behind thee saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when we turn to the right hand and when ye turn to the left. So let us continue making improvements as we go, notwithstanding all the hard trials that may await us. In spite of disappointments, defiance of our enemies lets go. Fear neither the difficulties of foreign languages nor the difference of manners, nor the powers of secular government. Consult not the course of rivers nor the direction of mountain ranges. Go straight on. Go as the thunder of him who sent us. As the creative word went, which carried life into chaos, as the eagles go, and the angels. Persevere as the school-boys. The sleet is falling, the winter is cold, but we are tough and bold. Another course we are to persist is prescribed in the 1st Cor. 9th Chap. 24 verse, namely: Know ye not that the which run in a race, run all but one receiveth the prize. So sun that ye may obtain. It means progress and success. Why should we persist? Because the work is the Lords and we must go on. And too, the victory is not gained by the swift nor the strong, but by those htat persist to the end. Hence, come weal, come woe, we'll gather and go live and die for Jesus. To speak on: We must persist because our God says to us as he did to Moses, why cry ye after me, Speak to the children of Israel, that they go forward. We must persevere because there is no discourage nor vacation in this war. The Christian soldier ought to fight like a lion. In fact he must be a lion in the fight. Said a fox to a wild-hog: Why do you whet your tusks now? there is no sign of the coming of the hunters or the hounds. Why Dear friend answered the wild-hog it would never do for me to be sharpening my weapons when I ought to using them. Learn to be in time. The road to our future welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well doing toward the mark for the prize. David Livingston the traveller missionary was a wearer. Sturgeon the electrician and Bloomfield the poet were shoemakers Andrew Johnson, president of the United States was a tailor. At the loom, at the plow, on the bench, we must persevere in oud endeavors to accomplish our good and begun work. That the church might persevere successfully, she must prove all things, and hold to them which are good. COLORED AMERICANS GAIN 14,397 ON U. S. PAYROLL Republicans Poine to Army of Negroes They Have Given Places—High Offices for Black Men. ..Claim Credit for Emancipation and ..Denounce Democrats as Unfriendly to the Colored Race. (From the Baltimore Sun) A direct appeal for the Negro vote in the coming Congressional election is made in the Republican textbook, mainly on the gurund that the party in power has shown "justice" to the Negro by appointing him to Federal offices. This discloses for the first time the extent to which Negroes have been given Government preferment. There are nearly 15,000 Negroes employed by the Government. They total salaries aggregating $8,255,761. Eleven are officials of the Diplomatic and Consular Service; 11 are officers in the United States Army; nearly 3,000 are employed in the Postal Service. The number employed in departments in Washington is 5,768,703 of whom are in the Treasury, 571 in the Government Printing Office and 421 in the Department of the Interior. Colored Employees of Government.

"The Republican party determined that the Confederacy should be destroyed; that the Union should be preserved; and true to its principles and in keeping with his own declarations, the Great Emancipator struck the shackles from the limbs of the bondmen. Following the freedmen of the slaves came their enlistment in the army and navy, and by this act the names of 200,000 Afro-Americans were added to the honor roll. The leaders of the Republican party, feeling that their work was far from completed, framed and passed the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments and the States ratified their action, thus making slavery impossible and confirming the civil and political rights of the Afro-American people. "Clothed by the Republican party with the right to vote, is it surprising that these newly made citizens voted with the party which had taken them from their former position as mere chattles and made them citizens of the republic campaign book as fol the republic?" Education North and South special to the Chicago Defender, bearing date of June 3, sent from the City of Mexico, says: "By one of our leading journals here. President Diaz has refused to accept the life membership voted him by the International Sunday School convention. The president says in part: 'When a people like the Americans draw the color line on black people and I accept membership, with my republic full of black men who are manning our railroads, army and national industries? I would be unfit to make laws for any people. The black man has rights and privileges in Mexico that the world must respect, and I will not wash my hands by accepting a membership into that association which seeks to enslave my fellowman. 'I trust the American Negro will not weaken, but will fight for his rights until the judgment day when we shall meet Him face to face.'

Address G.C. Mantel, Spokane, Wn Engineer O'Rourke's Plan Submitted to Army Board. Washington.—John F. O'Rourke, the engineer who bridged the Hudson at Poughkeepsie and drove the Pennsylvania railroad's tunnel under the North river a few days ago laid before Acting Secretary of War Oliver his plan for raising the Maine from the mud of Havana harbor. Secretary Oliver called Brigadier General William H. Bixby, chief engineer, into conference and Mr. O'Rourke told the two officers the details of his plan. It was decided to refer the O'Rourke plan to an army board of engineers, which will be appointed shortly, and which will consider at the same time other propositions for the same purpose which have been made to the war department. Briefly, the newest plan is based upon a system of pneumatic cabbons M. B. ROBERT S. OLIVER. Assistant Secretary of War. such as have made possible the building of extremely deep foundations under water and which contributed largely to the success of the building of tunnels under the Hudson. No divers are used, and the pontoon system is put completely aside. The method proposed is to swing the Maine in a cradle of powerful cables and lift her completely out of the water, where a complete inspection of her hull will be possible. While the ship is suspended above water, Mr. O'Rourke declares, she can be repaired as readily as if she were in dry dock, and after being relaunched from the cable cradle, can leave Havana harbor under her own steam. This is said to be the first plan yet proposed which would present the ship to a naval board in precisely the same condition as she sunk on the night of February 15, 1898. To raise her with pontoons, construction experts say, would mean to work upon her hull under water and to float her with compressed air would disturb conditions between decks. First a wharf of piles would be built on either side of the submerged wreck. Then between the wharves and the hull 12 pneumatic calssons would be hunk—six on each side. Practical tunnel building operations would be employed thereafter and a hundred little tunnels would be driven through the mud under the Maine's keel between the opposite calssons. Through each tunnel a powerful steel cable would be run and each end would be run up the outside of the calsson to the wharf above. So there would be a steel cable under the hull every four feet and the aggregate of all would be calculated to be capable of raising four times the weight of the wreck, which is about 7,000 tons. Each cable end would they be attached to a system of steel screw rods and the screw jack principle would be employed. In that the war department would be asked for a thousand men to operate the hand screws and by every man turning a lever at a given signal it is planned to pull the hulk up in the cradle of cables in practically the same way as the pyramids of Egypt are supposed to have been built by man power. Once swung above the water line, the gap between the wharves would be bridged and the engineers would work under and around the hull. When repaired she would be let down into the water by a reversal of the process by which she was raised. The war department has awarded contracts calling for the expenditure of about $1,000,000 at Fort Sill, Okla. This will provide quarters for a regiment. But the government does not intend to stop there. Immediate plans include the enlargement of the post to the brigade rank. Blue prints in the office of the quartermaster general, which have been approved by the department, look ultimately to the establishment at Sill of a division post and the expenditure of at least $20,000,000. The old post, now occupied by three batteries of the First Field artillery, probably will be retained as a school of musketry, which under orders issued last year, is to be transferred from the Presidio of California to Fort Sill. Twelve of the buildings at Fort Still are complete. At least 40 are under active construction. Work is getting well under way on a number of other contracts. Two shifts of men are working day and night on the artesian well, and are something more than 150 feet in depth. It is expected the drill will be kept going day and night for an entire year and the depth of the well will be about 2,000 feet. Bridges are being constructed. A large sewer and drainage system is being prepared and the grounds graded. The weekly pay roll for the workmen on the building alone averages about $5,000. In a few weeks it is expected this will reach $10,000 as new contractors will appear with their crews. Curtiss' Aeroplane Excites Comments. Washington.—The experts in both the army and the navy are watching with keen interest the development of the heavier-than-air craft. While the officials are not willing to say much publicly about the possibilities of the use of airships in time of war, they are saying privately that the probability is that when the next great war comes the airship will play a more effective part than battleships, land batterles, or great masses of troops. The prediction is freely made by army and navy officials in private that not a dollar will ever be spent in fortifying for the protection of the Panama canal. They have arrived at this conclusion because they think they foresee that within a few years the airship will be brought to a stage of perfection that will enable it quickly to destroy any fortifications that might be erected along the route of the canal. Congress at the recent session declined to appropriate money for the fortification of the canal. No public reason for this failure to make an appropriation was ever announced, but is now pretty well understood that the experts in both the war and navy departments suggested that it would be well to defer action until the government understands better what to expect of the airship. Officials in the army and navy departments are greatly impressed with the performances of Glenn Curtiss with the aeroplane at Atlantic City recently. Those performances were not under the auspices of either the war department or the navy department, but agents of each of the fighting arms were present, and were deeply impressed with what Curtiss was able to do. Some of the experts from the department who saw the Curtiss per Glenn Curtiss. formances came back firmly convinced that if war should come tomorrow the aeroplane would be able to do destructive work. In spite of the possibilities presented by the rapid development of air craft, the United States government is really doing nothing toward taking advantage of the situation. Two years ago an appropriation of $25,000 was made for the purchase of an aeroplane that would perform certain specifications—that is, that it would do certain things. It will be recalled that the Wright brothers complied with the conditions a year ago and the government took over the aeroplane. The understanding then was that the signal corps would devote a special attention to the navigation of the air. A tract of land was leased near this city, and men from the signal corps practised with the government aeroplane for several months. Last fall the craft for which the government had paid $25,000 was shipped to Fort Sam Houston, at San Antonio, Tex. Since that time regular practise with the aerosplane has not been carried on. There are men connected with the army and navy who believe the United States is almost criminally negligent in this mattte. ABOUT THE HOSIERY WHAT TO DO WHEN IT SHOWS SIGNS OF WEAR. When Holes Appear, Get Out the Darning Cotton and Proceed to Fill Them Up Without Delay. The length of time hosley will wear depends largely upon the care given it. Buy a good grade to start with, and when a small hole appears, darn it immediately. When a large one appears in the foot cut away all the thin part adjoining, leaving a round or oval shaped hole with a good firm edge. Take the darning cotton and steel crochet hook and proceed to fill in the hole, working all around the edge with single crochet stitch; then round and round, narrowing fast enough to keep the work flat and finishing firmly at the center. This is done more rapidly than darning, is very neat and as strong as before the hole appeared. And then the children's knees. If darned in short stitches when beginning to wear thin their life is lengthened, and it is a good idea to place a thin piece of an old stocking underneath and darn through both. When this will not do any longer cut off the stocking, straight across, in the strong part, just below the worn out knee. Then join the two parts again on the sewing machine with thread to match but turning the top portion of the stocking upside down, thus bringing the worn part away up out of sight; or perhaps it can be cut off entirely (it depends upon the length), and the top or unworn part down over the knee. The seam inside can be opened and felled down if desired. A little practise will determine just how much or how little to stretch the seam under the machine foot, so that when the stocking is pulled it will appear smooth and the seam hardly noticeable. At any rate, stockings treated in this way wear twice as long, and a pair which at first looks impossible to the weary mother (with half a dozen im-possible pairs in the weekly mending basket) can be very quickly converted into a pair which will never look un sightly except when off the foot. "Mothers'" do not wear through at the knee and can be repaired by cutting off the worn feet and attaching others, which can be bought at any large dry goods store, or can be made from the legs of another pair of hose. The legs can be utilized in another way: Cut each of two down a few inches—say, eight or nine—set in a diamond shaped piece to give width and finish with bands and side openings into a neat little pair of panties for the wee one. These tuck into the stockings and thus protect the delicate little knees from many bumps and scratches. If made of large (outside) hosiery no extra piece is set in, but seamed up straight. Fell all seams. When father's socks are beyond repair in the feet make some nice soft holders of the tops. Macaroni au Gratin. An easy way to prepare macaroni is to boll half a package in salted water until tender, drain it in a colander and stir it into a saucepan or chafing dish, in which two tablespoonfuls of butter and half a pound of grated cheese have been melted, the latter being added after the first has begun to bubble. Toss the macaroni with a fork until heated through, season with a dash of salt and pepper and serve. The result is delicious, especially when the macaroni comes piping hot from the chafing dish. To Cook Spinach. Spinach needs very little water for its cooking. To make a spinach salad wash and soak the spinach according to directions, place in a kettle without any water and cook 20 minutes. Drain at once and chop fine. Add a tablespoonful of melted butter, salt and pepper. Press into molds and chill. When ready to serve place on a platter, garnish with curled parsley and put slices of hard-boiled eggs in the center of it. Put a spoonful of mayonnaise dressing over each mold of spinach and molisten the egg with it. Bread Pudding. Butter slices of bread, arrange them in a buttered baking dish. Cover with four cupfuls of milk, four well-beaten eggs, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, a pinch of salt, the grated rind and strained juice of one lemon. Bake one and a half hours in a moderate oven. Serve with hard sauce Log Cabin Toast. This is an exceedingly dainty way of serving toast, particularly where the appetite requires coaxing. It is made up of long, narrow strips of bread cut to the thinness of afternoon tea sandwiches, then toasted a delicate brown. All are lightly buttered and oiled on a hot plate log-cabin fashion. Shirtwaist Hint. After shirt waists are ironed put them on waist hangers to keep them in shape and hang these on the broom or other stick suspended from two chairs. Chicken Wiggle. One cupful of chopped chicken, one half cupful of milk, thickened; one cupful of peas; butter size of an egg; salt and pepper. Serve on dry toast Sherman, Clay & Co.

The subject of the conversation was a lawn party, which was to take place the next day. Both were discussing what they should wear, and after five minutes had come to no decision. In the midst of this conversation a masculine voice interrupted, asking humbly what number he had. The lack of reply did not squelch the inquirer, for he asked again for the number. One of the girls became indignant and scornfully asked: "What line do you think you are on, anyhow?" "Well," said the man, "I am not sure, but judging from what I have heard, I should say I was on the clothesline." "Here," said the professor, who was selling his wares on the street corner, "is a substance more powerful than radium. You can look through a brick wall with this." "Give me a quarter's worth," said a man in the audience. "Here you are, sir." "But where are the directions?" "Oh, they are simple. First bore a hole in the wall and then rub this on the hole."
