FRIDAY, OCT., 9, 1903. POLITICAL NOTES! We want men who are honest and truthful to hold the public offices. Lieing and fooling the people won't work always. All of the state officials whose term of office expire in 1905 are candidates for re-election. The people are now deciding what to do with them. The Kansas delegation ought to recognize the colored element enough to put one on the electoral ticket and one on the delegation to the next national convention. Both of these are empty honors. Grank Grimes, ex-state treasurer, announces his retirement from politics—he means office seeking. It is hard for one to quit something for which he has always had a fascination. He says he will devote his time to business. He advertises his shirt factory for sale. The Orient railroad, which is destined to be one of the greatest in the country, has engaged Mr. Grimes to look after its interest in Kansas, which means much. Mr. Grimes is one of the old reliables and can be depended upon to tell the truth. Sheriff Lucas is laying wires for his friends. Doc Newman and Judge Hayden seem to be placing lightning rods for future developments. Shell Curtis, Hungate, Marshall and Bowen are all setting "'way up yonder" looking wise. The people are looking forward to the selection of a candidate for judge of the district court, two county commissioners on the South side, senator, three representatives and a school commissioner. Betts and Chaney are candidates for the senate. ST JOE, MO. The twenty-second annual session of the North Missouri Conference was held at the A. M. E. Church in this city last week. Rev. McDonald P.

I will rent the building to the right parties, and sell the hotel furniture and fixtures for the continuance of the business. Parties who can cook and manage well can earn money. Topeka has good schools, colleges, churches and society, which makes it an ideal city in which to live and conduct business. This hotel is located in the heart of the city, and within 100 feet of the Auditorium, the pride of Kansas, and the new Vinewood electric line passes the door. It is also handy to the State House and theatres. Remember, if this hotel closes, it means a loss to our people who need a public place to stop. This hotel has been conducted in first-class order, and if a person cannot continue it, we advise them to save stamps. For further information, address, NICK CHILES, Mg'r Plaindealer. NEWTON, KAN. Mrs. L. J. Gordon, wife of Rev. J. W. Gordon, Pastor of the Second Baptist church, was arrested and brought before the judge for falsely accusing and disturbing the peace of Mrs. A. Coleman on the public street and using vile and vulgar language. She pleaded guilty and was fined $9.50 which she paid. The red hogs seem to be fashionable—judging from their numbers at the fairs. Their chief claim to popularity lies in the fact that they are the most prolific of all breeds at this time. The Poland-Chinas and Berkshires can hardly be surpassed in their pork producing qualities in the feed lots, but the mothers do not bring so many nor do the sires seem to be so strong as the red breed. While this tendency exists we may expect even partmans of the black breeds to use red males in raising porkers. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT. State of Kansas, Shawnee County, 55.

RIO Pay for ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` --- TOPEKA PLAIN AINDEAL PLAINDEALER ```markdown ``` EALER THE FRISCO System St. Louis @ San Francisco Railroad Co. SAINT LOUIS, July 1, '03. ANNOUNCEMENT. On this date the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company assumes charge of the line formerly known as the Ozark & Cherokee Central Railway, extending westwardly from Fayetteville, Ark., to Okmulgee, I. T., a distance of 143.9 miles. As will be noted by reference to the map, this line forms a connecting link between our Central Division and the Red River District. Aside, however, from the convenience of this connection, the road penetrates a section offering excellent opportunities to those in search of a new location, either from a commercial or farming standpoint. Fayetteville, its starting point, is located in one of the best portions of the Ozark fruit belt, and the line will open, to the west of that place, a country whose ability to produce apples, peaches and other fruits has already been demonstrated, and whose prosperity and rapid development is, since the establishment of railway communications, assured. Passing through the "Land of the Big Red Apple," the line enters the Indian Territory, near Westville, crossing the Cherokee Nation, and traversing the Creek Nation, a country that has lately attracted attention all over the United States by reason of Congressional legislation permitting the acquirement therein, by outsiders, of Indian allotments. The Creek Nation is known to possess as great (if not greater) proportion of available land to square mile as any other of the Indian reservations that have been opened to white settlement. The character of its soil and climate is almost identical with that of Oklahoma. Wheat, corn and cotton grow side by side, and all yield crops calculated to astonish, by their abundance and excellence, farmers from the older states. A number of the towns shown in the appended list are of recent birth, and all are in a condition of rapid and substantial development. Business openings of all sorts are to be encountered on every hand, for the man with large or small capital—in many cases for the man with no capital.

The public schools of Leavenworth have a greater number of scholars enrolled this year than at any time during the year of 1902. B. K. Bruce principal of sumner school and A. M. Wilson principal of Lincoln school together with their assistants are giving satisfaction in every way. Leavenworth is all right as a school center. John Palmer, who has been employed at the Abernathy Furniture Factory for nearly 20 years, has resigned his position there and engaged in the refreshment and hotel business. Wm.

Hon. Chas. Curtis was a visitor in Leavenworth last week shaking hands with old friends. A great many of our Leavenworth people went to Kansas City to spend the entire week attending the Priest of Palace festival. The railroads have made a very cheap rate for the round trip which will enable Leavenworth to be well represented from a point on numbers. A girl whose home is in this city has been crowned queen of the Palace of Athene. Robert Jones, of this city, who deserted his class in High School a year or so ago and ran away from home, has returned to remain for a while.
