Thus far there will be some changes in the Representative department of Jackson County. There are at present two avowed candidates for the place Messrs Flynn of Mayetta and Mayor Sarbach of Holton. As times moves on it is plainly seen that young blood in the person of Mr. Sarbach will cut quite a figure in the race for this office. Mr. Sarbach is a young man of more than ordinary ability and if elected will make a model representative. He is at present the mayor of the city of Holton, and the people are loud in praise for him from one end of Jackson County to the other. If Mr. Sarbach is sent to the Legislature from his district, it is conceded that he will be the youngest and most brilliant young man that ever graced the halts of our Capital where all our state laws are made. In fairness to him, he will make a model representative. He is also of the firm of Sarbach and Sons of Holton, general merchandise. He is being greatly encouraged by a large number of his admiring friends of all classes. Rev. Sheldon has told some good truths—but thus far we have not been constrained to follow in 'his steps." Alvin J. Dodge will show Harry Safford his heart is in the right place April 14th, Mr. Dodge is no politician but he is going to be nominated as a member of the Legislature from the 38th District and it would be wise to place your bets that way. "No one man owns nor runs this city nor the voters. We have been taught to remember the bridge that carries us home safe. Standing by those who stand by us is no violation of law. Every man knows his business we suppose best. So do we. Charley Fellows has said he was the man that W. C. Stephenson must defeat. But vice versa Stephenson is the man he must detest which job will never be accomplished in 1900. The voters in the 2nd 3rd and 4th wards of this city are done with Charley's. So mote it be. Not a day passes but what we can hear the most favorable remarks in favor of Alvin J. Dodge who is a candidate for Representative 3 th Dist. Oakland, Te. cumseh townships first and second wards of Topeka. Ed Howe's infidelism has thus far come to an end, and while he like other would-be wise men spoke some truths—we are safe in saying that the JOURNAL has lost many a good subscriber. Whenever a selfish fool begins to write that all the best colored people are against us because we are against those negro hating white men who refused to consider us.

T. W. Harrison who is being strongly supported by all classes for the State Senate. Mr. Harrison comes up in our primaries on the 14th of next month. The occasion will be on Saturday, and every eligible voter can have the right of suffrage to vote for their respective choice. There are thus far two candidates, there is nothing to say against Mr. Harrison's opponent or every one have their friends. But as a matter of fact Mr. Harrison is gaining greatly for the place. We can speak truthfully for him by saying if he is nominated on April 14th and elected this fall that his experience will weigh favorable with any younger or aged gentlemen in that department. He is thoroughly competent. "Hello" Teachers Are You There? The Pamphlet series number 2 March issue under the caption of "Some Words," by the Industrial Institute, Edward Stephens Principal. Having made a careful investigation concerning the schools taught by Negroes he is bringing to light many short comings(2) One is political offensive a tatisuship, action of Negroes male and female during elections. The author of this phamplet also states that there are able bodied men in the schools and their wives are teaching also. This is meant as nepotisms, next there are eight persons teaching school in the colored schools out of families. this is an oply. The fun is not yet; only be attent this is a mere feeler as we can understand. There was a rousing Doran meeting at Weber's Hall Monday evening—Euthuism --- ALVIN DODGE OUT. Will Make the Race For Representative 38th District. Alvin J. Dodge, president of the school board of Oakland, is the first to announce himself in todays's paper as a candidate for the legislature from the Thirty-eighth representative district*. This district is composed of the First and Second wards of Topeka, the town of Oakland and the township of Tecumseh. Mr. Dodge has lived in Oakland for twelve years, and was one of the first to build a home in that suburb. He has a wife and three children, and is active in whatever is for the welfare of his neighbors and friends. He has been connected with the water service and machinery departments of the Santa Fe shops for seventeen years. His special work has been construction of pneumatic machinery used in boiler making, etc. He is one of the most popular men among the shop people. Tn's is attested by the fact that he has been asked to represent the district by a perfect avalanche of petitions. Fourteen of them, containing over 500 names, were in the possession of a committee of shop men today. The petitions read: "Having confidence in your integrity, and respect for your ability, courtesy and character, and knowing you to be an active Republican, we urge you to become a candidate for the Republican nomination for representative in the Tlirty-eighth district, and we assure you if you become a candidate we will give you our earnest and hearty support." The signatures include the names of prominent people in all kinds of professional and business callings. Among the names were notice : Charles T Morse, L. B. Pechner, W. C. Stephenson, F. L. Stevens, Rev. F, E. Mallory, Alfred A. Rodgers, George Eilott, W. H. Wilson, J. W. Mergan, P. W Griggs, Uriah Carle, John S. Griffing, Archie Baird, John B. Price, Henry Martin, Wm Schmidtendorf, J. E. Grubbs E. M. Roberts E. Stevens, George Bennett and Ike Schlegel, nearly all the county officers, and over 500 others. A number of Democra.s insisted on adding their names, too. They said—We cannot settle this matter before the primaries but if our friend Dodge is nominated we can vote for him if we want to, on general principles." Ex. Well no one is at all afraid of Fellows. The candidate who do not know a Negro only when he is a candidate. His snubbing will do him no good. No particular faction will support him. He has a few friends but not enough to land him, W·C. Stephenson has received the votes Charley Fellows intended to receive. When we are treated on the square, we are on neutral terms, when we are snubbed we are for giving our enemies the worst of it. You can call it what you please but you will learn that we are managing this office, and you will in future be convinced that every thing is fair in war when on the defensive. The trifling sheet that attempts to burden itself with the deceitful office seekers trouble is no considered in the least in the estimation of this paper. 渔民 WE ARE FISHING FOR A SHARE OF YOUR TRADE State Ledger Office 431 Kansas Ave. (up stairs) The time is short and it behooves persons who has failed to register to act at once else they can't vote. Do not be disturbed. You can easily locate us-nearly nine years in business and we will not listen to entreaties of the nothing sheet that claim to control the colored vote and can only show their share of it- as we only claim. It is very foolish to believe that we have no friends If Will Vanorsdol was on the square our people would vote for him. But his loud and irritable talk on the streets has convinced us that he is unfit for the place. Aside from thi there is a dignity about his opponent that ranks above his ability entirely. S F Wright must not be turned down for him. There is no use in trying to run the old bluff racket. Just place us on a level with you, which position we are going to retain, and you might as well place your bets that way. A controversy is only amusement for the editor of this paper because we have seen fools come and go. L. S. Dolman, will be defeated He should be, he is not conscientious in his employment of a Negro in his office, and aside from that there are others, so mote it be that Mr. Dolman don't have to remain in office for the satisfaction of the only white man who will employ a Negro hence Dolman must go. He has had four years and thats enough. HON CHAS. CURTIS. RENOMINATED MARCH 20th 1900 Have you heard the latest? For instance a skunk exchange is quoted as charging newspaper men who don't fall down and worship their good for nothing friends as Lord as political blackmailers, to n—ll with such damnable nonsense. Go and learn sense. C. V. Wolf is around telling that we are opposing him because he did not announce in our paper. That part is not true but, this much is true, he will know 'there are others' when he gets through for not recognizing this paper which alone is a matter left to him and if he makes his bed hard surely he must remain there.

NO27 FOR LEGISLATURF CITY DISTRICT: We take pleasure in saying to our many readers this week that Mr. Ed McKeevei has an opponent in the person of Mr. Albert K. Wilson, the Grand Sec'ty of L. A. F. and A M. of this city. Mr. Wilson is not what the public would style as a politician, yet capable and eloquent, he has been a resident of this city 21 years during which time he has always been a Republican. He is the present Secretary of the above organization and ranks high among all classes. If elected this fall every one may feel proud that his heart will be found in the right place, For some time the field has been canvassed seeking a suitable representative for the place which has been held two terms by Ed McKeever; and now the public will exercise the right of suffrage to the change It will be remembered that McKever seeks a third term with nothing to show during these two terms, he has attempted to represent this district and as we all know you are opposed to his policy, it is safe to say that Mr. Wilson will be easily nominated for the next Representative of the City District, 3rd 4th and 5th wards of this city.

They Were the First to Put Into Operation the Idea of Irrigating Arid Regions—Has Grown Into Vast Proportions. (Boise, Idaho, Letter.) Criticise the Mormons as you will they must be credited with the wonderful system of irrigation by which the wastes of the western states have been redeemed. On July 24, 1847, Brigham Young and his little band of pioneers began the construction of the first irrigation canal ever built in the United States. Irrigation made of Utah's desert wilderness the garden spot of America. It is doing as much for Idaho, where the mountains are so located that ample valleys, and plains of millions of acres, may be easily and economically watered. On the Nile, in Italy, Spain and elsewhere in Europe, irrigation has prevailed for centuries. Indeed, 60 per cent of the world's breadstuffs and cereals are grown by irrigation. Where "the vine-clad hills and citron groves" around Vesuvius in sunny Italy are found, a great population has been sustained for many thousand years—and the land has never worn out—its wonderful vitality being due to underlying strata of lava which by some curious chemistry renders the soil immortal. Idaho's wonderfully productive soil covers lava strata deposited by volcanoes long ago extinct. The rejuvenation of the land results not alone from this lava, but from rich fertilizers annually brought to it by the irrigation waters. It is almost an aphorism that land is good where sage brush grows. Marvelous must therefore be the fertility of Idaho, for everywhere the green of the sage is seen. Wheat,corn, oats, barley, alfalfa, timothy, rye, flax, tobacco, brom corn, sorghum, sweet and Irish potatoes, beets, cabbages, hops, and fruits, such as prunes, apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries, apricots, nectarines, grapes and all of the small bush products, grow profusely. Particularly do the apple, pear and prune attain to perfection in size and flavor. Alex. McPherson of Boise City realized $800 per acre from apples. Geo. L. Hall of Mountain Home sold $800 worth of peaches from one acre. T. J. Phifer of Boise City realized $500 from two acres of Italian prunes. Instances like these can be multiplied ad infinitum. But Idaho does not depend entirely upon agriculture. Its mountains are filled with mining camps which furnish a home market for far more agricultural products than the state is now able to produce. Snake River Valley contains about 3,000,000 acres and some of the finest pastoral scenes there presented are in the midst of gold placer mining operations. Many farmers there realize handsomely for work during spare hours—washing shining powdered gold from the river's bed. In a state having so many productive portions to select from it is hard to suggest particular locations, but settlers will find room for any number of new homes. Different state and private agencies are sending out printed information about Idaho. Perhaps the most conservatively prepared matter is that now emanating from the general passenger agent of the Oregon Short Line at Salt Lake City, Utah. This railroad permeates almost every agricultural region in the state and stands ready to furnish to homeseekers every courtesy in the power of its officers. At the present rate Idaho will soon be as thickly populated as Utah. It is in the same latitude as France, Switzerland, Portugal, Sainn and Italy, and its climate is incomparable. Vast timber areas furnish lumber of excellent quality. Cyclones and destructive storms never occur. The winters are short and people work out doors all the year. The annual death rate is the lowest of any state in the Union. Verily Idaho is a wonderful state and destined to become the home place of many times its present population. 2,000 Dewey Bables in Ohio. In Stark Co., O., twenty-one infants have been named Dewey, and it is estimated that there are nearly 2,000 Dewey babies in all Ohio. Women and Monuments. It is said that with the exception of Queen Victoria no woman has been the original of so much plastic art as the "Maid of Orleans." Joan of Arc. It is estimated that all the world over not more than fifty monuments have been erected to women. More monuments have been erected to the Emperor William I. of Germany, than to all the famous women put together. Nearly a century after Maria Theresa's death Austria erected a monument to her memory. A beautiful statue of Queen Louise of Prussia is in Berlin. French Names in Africa. Among the French names which at the present day may be found widespread throughout South Africa, from the Cape to the Zambesi, are Marais, Joubert, Du Plessis, De Villiers, Jourdan, Le Roux, Malherbe, Du Toit, Malan, Retief, Theron and Hugo. India's Many Plants. India has perhaps a greater variety of plants than any other country in the world, having 15,000 native species, while the flora of the entire continent of Europe only embraces about 10,000. VIOLATES ANTI-TRUST LAW. Resolutions to Instruct Attorneys to Prosecute. AIMED AT STANDARD OIL CO. Washington, March 19.—Representative Fitzgerald of New York introduced the following resolution: "Whereas, It appears a matter of public record that the Standard Oil Co. paid in the city of New York on March 15, 1900, the sum of $17,000,000, this amount being an extra dividend in addition to the regular quarterly dividend of $3,000,000; and "Whereas, It is a matter of public record that this last dividend is $5,000,-000 in excess of the last quarterly dividend paid by this corporation; and "Whereas, It is also a matter of public record that the price of kerosene oil, the sole means of lighting used by the middle and poorer classes of people, during the period of time between the declaration of these dividends was increased 3 cents per gallon, constituting a tax on every home in the land; therefore, be it "Resolved, That, in the opinion of congress, this action of the Standard Oil company is in direct violation of the provisions of the Sherman antitrust law and therefore punishable by fine and imprisonment, and the attorney general is hereby directed, in accordance with the provisions of that act, to direct the several district attorneys of the United States in their respective districts to institute proceedings to bring the above named violators of the laws to justice." For New War Ships. Washington, March 17.—The house committee on naval affairs reached a definite and final decision as to the number of warships to be authorized the forthcoming naval appropriation bill as follows: Two seagoing coast line battleships of about 13,500 tons each, to cost approximately $3,000,000 each; three armored cruisers of the highest practical speed and most powerful armor and armament, to cost approximately $4,000,000 each; three protected cruisers, to cost about $1,141,000 each. It was determined not to provide any gunboats, in view of the opinion expressed by Secretary Long and Admiral Dewey that General Otis' recent purchases of serviceable boats of this character met present gunboat requirements. Imitation Butter Bill Doubtful. Washington, March 19. Members of the agricultural committee of the house are expressing doubt that favorable action will be taken on the Grout bill assessing a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleoemargarine made in imitation of butter. The sub committee is understood to be opposed to it, and the whole committee would probably take a like position, although the demand for its passage is general throughout the dairy sections of the country and all the Western members are receiving petitions asking for favorable action. It has been arranged to have final action on the measure decided by the whole committee. Iowa Coal Miners. Des Moines, Ia., March 19.—The conference of coal miners and operators which has been in session since February 26, adjourned after adopting a uniform scale of prices for mining which amounts to about 18 per cent increase for the miners. There will likely be an increase in the price of coal of about 10 per cent to meet the increased cost of mining. General Kobbe a Governor Washington, March 15.—Gen. Otis has notified the war department that he has appointed Brigadier General William Kobbe, U. S. V., military governor of the province of Allbay, Luzon, and of the island of Cataduanes and temporarily, to subserve immediate purposes, of the islands of Samar and Levete. Taken To Frankfort. Louisville, Ky., March 19. - Officers started to Frankfort with Secretary of State Powers, Captain John W. Davis, W. H. Culton and Harlan Whitaker, the four prisoners who are held as alleged accessories to the assassination of Governor Goebel. The men will be given a preliminary hearing at Frankfort. Their departure was without incident. Hard Luck For Aguinaldo. Manila, March 17.—Flores, Aguinaldo's secretary of war, has surrendered to General MacArthur. Aguinaldo's infant son, who has captured in November and who has been suffering from smallpox, is dead. Aguinaldo is supposed to be in Japan still. Jenule Creek Goes To Paris. Fort Wayne, Ind., March 19.—Miss Jennie Creek of Mill Grove, a comely girl of 18, will wear the star of the French Legion of Honor and attend the Paris exposition as her reward in saving a Pan Handle world's fair special from being wrecked on September 10, 1893. She discovered the railroad bridge near her home on fire, and taking off her red flannel skirt, flagged the train. Only one other lady is entitled to the honor of wearing such a star. FRANCE BRISTLING UP. Calls For Statements From Colonies Of Available Soldiers. New York, March 17.—A private cablegram from an unimpeachable source in Paris says that the ministers for the colonies sent cipher cables to the governor of every French colony, almost in the words of Mr. Chamberlain to the British colonial governors, asking how many soldiers were available for immediate service. Mr. Decrais asked for a detailed statement from each governor of the number and service of the colonial forces, and lists of officers and men. The minister's cables were long and in cipher and were sent all over the world; to colonies in Africa, Madagascar, Tongking, Guadaloupe, Martinique, French Guiana and every French colony on earth. It is also said that cables of a similar tenor were sent to French consuls, asking for lists of French soldiers in foreign countries who could return to France in the event of their services being needed. Paris, March 17.—The minister of foreign affairs, M. Delcasse, in the senate denied that France had refused to join Russia in making a friendly suggestion in the direction of peace between England and the Transvaal. He then declared: "The union between France and Russia draws closer every day and defies all malevolent assertions to the contrary." France, he added, had never ceased to be the most generous nation the world had known. But after so many hard and sometimes cruel experiences she could no longer admit that her duty to the world should stand before her obligations to herself. INCREASE IN TRADE.

New York, March 19.—The American Tobacco company discharged its entire list of 500 employees, men and women, from the cigar factory at Fifty-second street and the East river, and it will move its plant to its factories in Richmond, Va., Baltimore, Cincinnati and Lancaster, Pa. Manager Gordon said: "Labor is too expensive here, and we can get it cheaper in the other places." Johannesburg Mines. Paris, March 19.—The possibility of the Boers destroying the mines is causing some anxiety among French financiers, who hold one-third of the shares. The Gaulois devotes an article to the subject and calls upon the financiers of Europe to furnish the Boers with the means of resisting British invasion. Steel Trust Gets It. Wheeling, W. Va., March 15.—The Aetna-Standard mill, which was purchased the latter part of last year by the National Steel company. has transferred its holdings for $5,000,000 to the American Steel company. This is an increase of price over the original sum paid of over $2,000,000. Texas Cattle Raisers Fort Worth, Tex..

The nerve cells of the body have been robbed of their vital forces. The nerves have no life in them; therefore all the organs of the body suffer from lack of nerve control, and the blood vessels that supply these organs are not in proper tone. "HUDYAN corrects the evil. HUDYAN provides this vitality or nerve force that is wanting." Are you approaching this condition of Nervous Debility? Are you growing prematurely old? Do you suffer with headaches (Fig. 1); hollow eyes or dark rings under eyes (Fig. 2); pale, thin face and sunken cheeks (Fig. 3); weakness of limbs (Fig. 4); a poor appetite and impaired indigestion (Fig. 5); coated tongue (Fig. 6), and costimity (Fig. 4); a poor appetite and impaired indigestion (Fig. 5); coated tongue (Fig. 6), or have you dizzy spells? Do you suffer sleepless night? Do you have horrid dreams? Do you awake in the morning hollow-eyed and tired out? Are you despondent, melancholy? Do you shun society? Are your knees shaky? Have you pain in the small of the back? These symptoms all tell you that your nerves are failing you; that you will grow old long before your time. HUDYAN will save you; HUDYAN will make a robust, strong, many man of you. HUDYAN revives, restores, juvenates. Go to your druggist at once and regen HUDYAN. No other remedy; just HUDYAN, for HUDYAN is what you need. Other symptoms of this terrible affliction that visits so many men are cold hands and feet, palpitation of the heart, hot flashes, clouded memory, nausea after eating, twitching of muscles, spots before the eyes, shooting pains, weariness, tremblings, sediment in urine, bleary eyes, swimming in ears, a shaky, all-gone feeling.
