Those people who would like to knife us can do so soon. We are for CountyClerk. ANNOUNCEMENTS For County Treasurer. We are authorized to announce Frank C. Bowen as a candidate for the office of county Treasurer subject to the Republican Primaries june 1st 1901, W. S. Eberle the present Deputy Treasurer announces his candidacy for the office of County Treasurer subject to the republican primaries held June 1st '01: W $ ^b$, Weber (the Groceryman) candidate for County Treasurer subject to Republican Primaries Saturday June 1st 1901 For county commissioner.

FOR COUNTY CLERK. I am a candidate for County Clerk of Shawnee County subject to the Republican pri- maries June 1st. My policy if nominated and elected is to give every person an honest an generous consideration. Fred L Jeltz Editor STATE LEDGER, FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS, T. V. Coddington is a candidate for Register of Deeds Subject to the Republic in Pimries J the 1st to 11 FOR SHERIFF. We are authorized to announce Bert Lucas as a candidate for the office of Sheriff of Shawnee county. Subject to the Republican, primaries June 1st 1901, Anything to beat a Negro is the watch word. The deal in regard to a certain candidates withdrawal will react. Now let preachers attend to their business eliminate them from politics, Jesus weep but not because he was a bit scared but because the people acted foolishly. Many candidates are dropping out of the race reason better known to them. To rid Seawhee County of rings and clips fire out the gang of fixers that does nothing but follows the same for a living. We never saw such a quiet county election as no interest is being expressed perhaps our coming primaries will not exceed three thousand votes all told. The people are talking a good deal at this hour no one can hardly interest the people for votes if one wants to vote and thinks of it he will go and vote if he doesn't you will surely not get it. Wait and see the fun there is such a thing as electioneering too much and we can see that some of the candidates are doing that very thing: If a man is not for you he is against you then why amnoy him and make him curse you. capt. Coddington is an old soldier and stands well with all classes of nominated and elected he will make a first class Recorder of Deds. The colored people holds the balance of power in this city county and state but there are a class of people who do not know the benefit of their bal lot. From the mere fact that John M Wright is spoken of for State Auditor next year all of Shawnee county must cough up for every place in the court house to be filled for the next century by white men. We may not be able now in the heat of our feelings to get even with a tew grand rascals but before many elections are held we will be able to kill the goose that aid the golden egg. The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL Let school teachers run politics you know that is in proper keeping with their positions(?) The time has come that colored men who are foolish enough to believe that white men will remember them after getting into office will simply show that the Negro is not progressing very fast. Don't think because we know we are defeated that we are going to play the baby act by sitting around and crying remember every grand rascal has his day and after the sunshine there comes the showers. Some of our friends say they are all good men they cannot afford to vote for any of the boys nor can they vote again them so they will stay at home. Dealing and double dealing still goes on. A schooner has been launched on Lake Michigan named Carrie Nation its figure head is a hatchet. A boy named for Aguinaldo managed to lived a year. Just think of what the little thing must have suffered. The enumerator for the census department has just returned from Dawson County Texas. He reports that he didn't find a soul. The President is having a big time on his tour of the continent. He is receiving an ovation wherever his train stops. At Yale the other day, in a fight over whether the academical or the Scientific school were super one young man was whaled so badly that he died four days later. The o liging college physician said it was typhoid fever. Good husbands die young. It is seldom that you see a widow that did not have a good husband and almost as seldom that you see a married women who has a good one Things like this do happen in real life occasion y. Before dying a servant gul confessed the other day that she killed a man for whose death a priest was gull lotined six years ago. A secdy old man went down to New York from Pennsylvania last week invested in Union Pacific returned home Saturday night worth $25,000 more. He said he would go home and attend to the sawing of some logs and "quit foolin around." The reception of Minister Conger repays that official for much hardship. However, it means also that their is a concerted action to relieve the administration by giving him the governorship of Iowa. Conger is a great man in his way but he was out of his element in China. The emarkable reception given the president in the south is really no more than was to be expected. Whatever we have done for Cuba that war resulted in obliterating all sectional lines in this country. In every part of the country the chief executive of the nation can go and recieve a merited welcome. Ex SOME CANDIDATES MISTAKE. The refusal of some candidates to confer certain work on our paper because we are a candidate ourselves makes it look exceedingly small in the eyes of the public all newspapers have their readers, friends and enemies hence they will discover before it is to late no doubt their serious mistake. We have our name at the mast head of the LEDGER but a competent force will be at our office to serve you as in all other offices in ke manner. We killed a fellow the other day who was up stairs in our office talking resubmission. This is one of the most damnable farces ever put in action by the political machine. In the present fight the secret order prohibitionist are in the lead. This will teach sensible men a lesson. You can fool all the people part of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all the time. There never was a lane that did not turn. There never was a thief that was not caught at some time and place. Hence you can place your bets that we will get straight with the gang. Milton E. Stoker the well known undertaker who was a candidate for the office of County Clerk has withdrawn from the race, and we can't tell where his friends are going to scatter hence we hope to catch a few of Stokers tray votes as they are swiftly passing by. This leave the race to Messers Swayze. Neway and the editor of this p p r. Two e friends who are not on the bnd wigan should get aboard quickly and avoid the rush for places at the pie counter are very slim. Get on board little childrne there is room for many more.

Governor Stanley was the orator at the laying of the corner stone of the new court house at Beloit. The snow which fell on April 1 covered Kansas and considerable territory outside. It is welcomed by farmers. It is funny, yet packing house meat is advertised and sold way out where cattle come from in western Kansas. Assistant Atterney General West has given it as his opinion that the biennial election law is valid at all points. Effort and expense will not be wanting to give Harvey county a fair in September that will be a county beater. A new Baptist church has been dedicated at Abbyville, Reno county. The building is 36 by 40 feet and cost about $1,500. The county court house at Abilene is to be remodeled and provided with more vaults and made more convenient in other ways. The acts passed by the last legislature will be out in book from about May 15. They will make a larger book than ever before. Joseph O'Byrne of Topeka, a Missouri Pacific brakeman, was burned to death in a wreck of his train between Leroy and Aliceville. General Funston's commission as brigadier general dates for April 1; that of Smith, on March 30, making the latter outrank the former. Joseph Bates, a wealthy farmer and stockman, living north of La Cygne, hanged himself, the cause, as is believed, being ill health. The snow caught Atwood and towns west of there, with not enough provisions or fuel. People burned loose railroad ties, fence posts and lumber. The literary scientific and musical clubs of the Fourth congressional district have organized a district federation, at a delegate meeting in Council Grove. Their officers are: President, Mrs. R. H.

Rogers, of Marion; recording secretary, Miss Florence Snow, of Neosho Falls; treasurer, Mrs. Ida M. Irwin, of Emporia; auditor, Mrs. A. W. Dennison, of El Dorado.

Cooper is an original boomer, associated with Dave Payne. The McCracken elevator at Derby is burned at an estimated loss of $10,000, with only $1,000 of insurance. Two cars filled with grain were also burned. Near the elevator there were stored in a small building four barrels of gasoline which was removed by five merchants of the town, at the peril of their lives. George Evans, formerly a prosperous contractor at Topeka, is now in the Soldiers' home and in very poor health. He has had several contracts in the course of the building of the state house. The mayor of Hutchinson forget to issue a proclamation for the city election and now the courts may be asked to decide whether there has been a legal election held. There was an increased number of votes polled, which shows the lack of a necessity for the law requiring a proclamation. The Rock Island's Colorado line is ballasted as far west as Phillipsburg, and it is the intention of the company to complete the ballasting as far as Goodland this year. Crushed rock is used. The cuts between St. Francis and Atwood, some of which are 20 feet deep, were filled with wet snow and frozen to solid ice.

Chandler, of Wichita, owns the controlling interest in ten of the Kansas banks; the last one purchased by him is the Hazleton State bank. C. J. Devlin, the coal operator, has bought the controlling interest in the First National bank of Topeka, from L. Z. Leiter, of Chicago, for $136,000. General James L. McDowell, who was the first United States marshal for the district of Kansas, has removed from Manhattan to Elkton, Colorado.

The federal prison headquarters building on the Fort Leavenworth reservation will be located on the spot where Senator James H. Lane put a pistol in his mouth and shot a ball upwards through his brain. The new penitentiary will cover the rising ground where the old government farm house stood. W. E. Blackburn, an old and always "up and doin" citizen of Anthony, has made arrangements to procure from the Mount Vernon estate, where is the tomb of Washington, a limited number of walnuts and acorns which are to be given to churches and schools, to be planted by them.

Topeka, April 10.—In the United States court District Attorney Lambert asked to have a special examiner appointed to investigate the titles to the property in controversy in the suit of the government against the Santa Fe Railway company. The suit is to cancel the patent to 69,000 acres of land in Western Kansas which the government patented to the company in the early days and to which the government now claims the company is not entitled. The district attorney now wants to find out how much of the land stands in the name of the Santa Fe and how much has been bought by innocent purchasers. That portion bought by innocent purchasers cannot be disturbed. Henry Mason was recommended for appointment as examiner by the district attorney. GOV. ALLEN ON PORTO RICO. Talks About That Island, And its Productions, etc. Washington. April 9.—Governor Charles H. Allen of Porto Rico has arrived on Washington. Speaking about the affairs of the island, he said that the situation had improved very materially in every way since he became governor over a year ago. "In the old established industries in Porto Rico there has been a great improvement in all except coffee growing and production. Unfortunately, this is languishing at the present time. The production of sugar has been increased from 40,000 tons last year to probably 100,000 tons estimated for this year. The sugar industry is bound to flourish owing to the tariff discrimination in its favor. Upon the crop estimated for this year the Porto Ricans will save $3,500,000 tariff duties The Orange industry is being increased by the investments of Americans. The fruit is delicious and there is plenty of land to be had for the cultivation of oranges." Governor Allen said that although agents had induced several thousand people to emigrate to Hawaii, Cuba and Ecuador the number, when compared with a million, the percentage is so small as not to be worth considering. Parker Will Contest. Topeka, April 8.—As a result of the canvass of the city election returns made by the connell Col. J. W. F. Hughes, republican candidate for mayor, is elected by nine votes. A. W. Parker, the democrat candidate will file contest proceedings.

The matter will probably not be settled until passed upon by the courts. British Interests Are Menanced. London, April 8.—The Times has received the following from its correspondent in Wellington. New Zealand: "France, after establishing a naval station in the Pacific and increasing her warships to five within a few weeks, is now engaged in strengthening her land defenses. This action is regarded as menacing British interests in the South Pacific Scalpers Close Up. Pittsburg, Pa., April 10.—The ticket brokers of this city are all closed as a result of the decision of the supreme court declaring constitutional the law prohibiting the sale of tickets by any one not authorized agents of railroad companies. All Smooth With Denmark Washington, April 9.—An official denial is given to the London report that the United States government has adopted a menacing attitude toward Denmark about the cession of the Danish West Indies to the United States. The negotiations have been characterized by the most friendly feeling on both sides. The United States government has not exercised the slightest pressure on Denmark, nor will it do so. If the cession is effected it must be purely voluntary on the part of the present owners. It is also denied that Denmark has sought or has received the support of other European powers in antagonism to the United States. A Small Speculation. Toledo, O., April 8.—The Bee published a story to the effect that Dr. Ash, a former resident of this city, has just sold to John D.

Portland, Ore., April.10.—The horse abbitair at Linnton has started up again. As conditions are more favorable now for its successful operation it is likely to be kept running indefinitely. About 800 cayuse ponies have sent in and 10,000 will be slaughtered this year. There are more than 500,000 tributary to this market. Stockmen are anxious that horses should be driven from their ranges for cattle and sheep. Horse meat has found favor in Sweden and Norway. PERU-NA CURES SPRING CATARRH Easter Greeting To the afflicted. PERU-NA AN IDEAL SPRING TONIC IF every one in the world were healthy and happy what a glad day Easter would be. But the sun rises every Easter morning on a multitude of sick and afflicted. The Easter lilies gladden the hearts of the sick and well alike. But to the sick something more than the Easter lily is necessary to bring the hope and cheer which every one expects on Easter day. The well need no physician, but the sick need a remedy. Nearly one-half the people in the United States are suffering from some form or phase of catarrhal ailment. These ailments take different forms at different seasons of the year. In the springtime catarrh assumes a systemic form, producing nervousness, lassitude and general languor. Systemic catarrh deranges the digestion and through deranged digestion impoverishes or contaminates the blood. Thus we have blood diseases and nervous derangements through systemic catarrh. Peruna is a specific for these cases. No other remedy yet devised by the medical profession is able to successfully meet so many phases of spring ailments as Peruna. Men and women everywhere are praising Peruna as follows: A First Class Tonic. A Spring Tonic. The Best of Tonics. Wm. A. Collier, Assistant Paymaster U. S. N., writes: "I have taken Peruna and recommend it to those needing a first-class tonic." A Great Tonic. Hon. M. C. Butler, Ex-U. S. Senator and Ex-Governor of South Carolinas, writes from Edgefield, S. C.: "I have been using Peruna for a short period and I feel very much relieved. It is indeed a wonderful medicine and besides a great tonic." Splendid for the Nerves. Robert B. Mantelli, the famous actor, writes from New York City: "Peruna is splendid and most invigorating—refreshing to the nerves and brain." For General Debility. Hcn. Jmo. V. Wright, of the Law Department, General Land Office of Tennessee, writes: "I wish everyone one who is suffering with general debility or prostration could know of Peuna." When a woman wants to prove her superiority over a man, she draws him into an argument on religion. If You Have Dyspepsia Send no money, but write Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. Box 145, for six bottles of Dr. Shoop's Restorative; express paid. If cured, pay 65.00—if not, it is free. A small boy sometimes gets all the candy he can eat, but never all he wants. The best Ball Blue is Red Cross brand. Large 2-oz. package 5 cents. The fellow who makes light of death probably expects to be cremated. WANTED—Men with rig to advertise and introduce March Poultry, Mintro. Straight salary 415.00 weekly and expenses with stamp. Box Manufacturing Co. Box 691. Springfield, Illinois. The only exercise some fellows take is in rushing the growler. Baseball players; Golf players; all players chew White's Yuca an whilst playing. It spoils a favor if you are asked to return it. Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup. For children teeth, softening the gums, reduces inflammation, allays pain, cures wind colic, 2 a bottle.

M.Carron, Mich., April 8.—(Special.) —Mrs. Samuel G. Dyer of this place has given the following interesting letter for publication: "For years I suffered intense pain in the region of the heart. I doctored with the best physicians. Some of them would relieve me for a short time, but the pain always returned. My heart was so bad that I would have to sit up in bed for hours, to get relief. I would be awake almost all night. I am 62 years of age, and no one can understand how much I suffered with this deep Trouble. "About a year ago I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and commenced to use them. From the first my condition, improved. The pain in my heart gradually grew less, and my general health much better, and now I can say positively that I am entirely cured. I can sleep all night, and enjoy almost perfect health. I thank God for the cure that has come to me through the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I have thought long over the matter of giving this letter for publication, and am doing so now without any solicitation whatever, and simply because I feel it to be my duty to express the profound gratitude I feel for my recovery, and to let others who may be suffering as I was know how they may find a cure. I know that nothing else out Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me, because I have taken no other medicine for over a year. I feel better now than I have for many years, and it is all due to the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills." Mrs. Dyer's case and its cure has attracted a great deal of attention, and her letter is a splendid tribute to the curative properties of Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Just at present considerable interest is being aroused in the fact that a few new districts (of limited acreage) are being opened out by the Canadian government in Saskatchewan and Assinibola (western Canada), and any information concerning this country is eagerly sought. Mr. W. R. Corser, of Higginsville, Lafayette Co., Mo., was a delegate there during last summer, and writing of his impressions he says: "I found surprising yields of grain of all descriptions. One farmer I visited threshed of 175 acres: "600 bushels of wheat from fifteen acres, 40 bushels to acre. "600 bushels of barley from ten acres, 60 bushels to acre. "15,000 bushels of oats from 150 acres, 100 bushels to acre. "The samples were all No. 1. "I also saw a considerable number of stock. Swine do well and there is no disease amongst them. They are a good source of income to the farmer. The cattle on the range beat anything I ever saw. Fat and ready for beef, fully matured and ripened on the nutrients grasses of the prairie. I am firmly convinced that this country offers better facilities for a poor man than any I have ever seen."

NATIVE SEGRET SOCIETIES In Philippines Present Most Formidable Problem to be Solved. GENERAL B. M. YOUNG SAYS. Chicago, April 9.—General Young who has arrived here enroute from Manila to Washington says that the most formidable problem confronting the United States government in the Philippines today is presented by the two great native secret societies, the Katipunan and Sandanthan. The first named is distinctively military in its character, and numbers among its members the real leaders of the insurrection. The second is civil and embraces every native in the island who in sympathy with the rebel cause. The second secures funds, provisions and arms for the first and informs its members of all movements of the United States troops. The influence of these two organizations is widespread and our means of approaching the prime movers are limited. "The utmost secrecy governs the work of all these societies. They are crafty, skillful, and we find to our cost, treacherous. Their hatred of our people is as bitter as it is groundless, and, in my opinion the quickest and best, if not the only way to wean them from their prejudices is by means of American colonization of the islands. "Will Aguinaldo's capture have a good effect on those still under arms?" was asked. "Yes, it will probably lead many to submit to what would appear the inevitable, but just how wide this effect will be I am unable to say. "General Tinio, the most formidable general in the north, is still holding out, but through hope of reward he may follow Aguinaldo's example. He commands an uncertain number of guerillas, perhaps 3,000 who are independent in character, much as Mosby's men were during the civil war, and who fly to cover at the first signal of serious danger. "If a mail or paymaster's squad crosses their territory it is waylaid and usually most of its members slain, but let any large number of troops follow immediately after and all that can be seen are farmers toiling industriously in the fields. We have tried to catch Tinio again and again, but he is as slippery as an eel. "Every town of any size in Northern Luzon has been organized under a new system of municipal government. A president or alcalde and a council to correspond to our mayor and board of aldermen. All the officers are natives who have been encouraged to act for themselves, under the guidance of military authorities in the regulation of all town affairs. Though we have had many cases of treachery, the results on the whole are encouraging. It is my belief, however, that the Filipinos are quite incapable of self government at present." Blow to Russian Prestige. London, April 10.—In a dispatch to the Times from Pekin, Dr. Morrison comments on the blow to Russia prestige in China resulting from the check to Russia's ambitions regarding Manchuria. This blow is all the more severe, he says, because Japan, whom the Russians have affected to treat with the utmost contempt, has had the largest share in dealing it. There is little doubt that Russia will renew the struggle in some shape. It is a remarkable outburst of popular feeling which has enabled China to withstand Russia. All the appeals against the convention were addressed to the emperor. Ouebec Women Object. Quebec, April 10.—The local branch of the Daughters of the Empire has entered a protest against the erection of a memorial by Boston gentlemen to General Montgomery, who was killed while leading an assault on Quebec, September 31, 1775. The city council is requested not to allow the removal of the board on the cliff bearing the words "here Montgomery fell," until the Daughters of the Empire have erected a suitable memorial in honor of Sir Guy Carleton. Mrs. Gillette Goes Back. Abilene, Kas., April 9.—Mrs. Grant Gillette has returned to Mexico, having been here to arrange a compromise with her husband's creditors. Gillette fled to Mexico in November, 1898, owing cattlemen over a million dollars. When she started for Mexico, Mrs. Gillette is said to have stated that she had been unable to secure assurance of Gillette's safety from arrest should he come back and that they would likely continue to live in Mexico. Gillette is engaged in business near Chihuahua. Plea For a Brother Mason. London, April 10. The Turkish Free Masons have sent to King Edward an appeal on behalf of the unfortunate elder brother of Sultan Abdul Hamid, who resigned as sultan for three months and was then deposed on the ground of insanity. The appeal refers to him as "one who for the last quarter of a century has been imprisoned on the pretext of a mental malady" and begs King Edward to use his influence to secure the freedom of a brother Mason. $100.00 Reward To protect your health and our reputation, we will gladly pay this big reward to any one who will furnish us information on which we can secure conviction of a dealer who tries to sell worthless fake imitations, when CASCARETS are called for.

At a prayer meeting in Herkimer, N. Y., Mrs. J. D. Henderson was disturbed by something moving in the sleeve of her fur coat. She took off the coat and found that her pet squirrel, which had been missing for a day or two, had made a nest between the lining and the fur. The squirrel refused to come out and it was not until Mrs. Henderson took the coat home, ripped apart the sleeve and removed the nest that the squirrel would leave.

Doctor's Method of Advertising An ingenious method of getting around the unwritten law of the better physicians that they shall not advertise, without technically breaking the law, has been practiced by a New York doctor. He does not advertise. He simply writes letters thanking his clients for their appreciation of his services and outlining what he has done for them. Quite by accident the letters are misdirected and sent to those whom the doctor would like as clients. A. Princely Hussar.
