ANNOUNCEMENT I am a candidate for Sheiff of Shaw see county on the Independent ticket or the fall election. I have lived in this county for many years and have a side acquaintance. If I am elected should all in my power to carry at the duties of the office. EDITORIAL The State Ledger. DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. The papers are talking about the luck of a man who sent a shirt containing two diamonds to a Parsons laundry. Both stones were returned to him. Brewster, of the Iola Register, says that it is the most remark shirt-tale in Kansas history. Perhaps the closest shave in connection with the Kansas elections this week went to the Wichita man who won a seat in the ci council by a majority of two votes. How tired that must make some of the friends of the other man, who for some foolish or other failed to vote. After Russell Harding completes arrangements for extending the Missouri Pacific from Larned to a main line connection at McCracken, he could make a great hit with the Central Branch towns, i he wishes to, by taking up the matter of the long promised Denver extension of that line. Big rail-road companies are not the only concerns that indulge in rate wars. The Phillipsburg News says that at times competition between the liveryman of that city and Marvin becomes so keen that passengers are hauled between the two points for a quarter. The distance is about six miles. Ex. A western Kansas paper, remark that it was dull in town last Saturday owing to the wind, which kept many farmers at hame it, must be understood that in western Kansas when the wind reaches a gait that keeps farmers from going to town on Saturday goes zipping along at a rate that enable it to reach down and pull Buffalo grass up by the roots. Ex. USED SUNFLOWERS TALKS Last Friday when Ed Moorman was taking out the partition, on the north side of the Sherman House, preparatory to enlarging the office room, he found that the partition had been lathed with sunflower stalks before plastering. The sunflowers were nailed on 25 years ago but were found to be in a perfect state of preservation. The building was put up in 1873 by Wyat George to be used a hardware store but later was rebuilt and changed to a hotel by Ed Pierce and it was probably at this time that the sunflowers were put on to take the place of lath. Ex. An old gentlemen very sick, very feeble and very poor, s a v the Globe, recently arrived in Atchison from New Jersey. He was going to relatives in Western Kas to die, and we hope they will be good to him; an old person dying in the house is a great task, and a great opportunity to be patient and kind. The old gentlemen told a reporter while waiting at the depot that every hour of his journey he reeled kind attention from rail-road men. At every point where he changed cars, stout railroad men carried him about, and looked after him, and he was constantly being offered things to eat. He traveled most of the time in smoking cars and every nig t the passengers or trainmen offer to buy him a bed in the sleeper, but he could not accept it, as he not rest comfortable in a reclining position. People are pretty good: they are abused like theives, but the people are all right. Ex. Strenuous people miss the joys the present in a feverish chase for the anything. In the last issue of the little two by four sheet known by a few politicians of Wichita as "THE SEARCH-LIGHT" it took occasion to refer to the editor of this paper and a few of his old friends as bumbs. We want this fool to know that we have resided in Kansas nearly thirty years. We are well known as a newspaper man and it takes men of more intelligent calibre to handle or effect our course than him. If he is in the "hold up' business let her go, but thimble head politicians who disregard our large circulation in Wichita and Sedgwick county will be weighed in the balance and on the day of the state convention and the county primaries they will be found "wanting." The State Ledger is no new experiment we have operated it ten years and if the would be politicians of Wichita will give vent to the non-senity of such flagrant nothingness we shall see. Our branch office is now established in Wichita. The state convention will be held there May 28 next., and we see no reason why one bull head Negro owns the town or why one or two overly anxious certain thimble head politicians own it, if that is true, we shall see. As we go to press space will not permit our retaliation on the part of ignorance, but watch these columns. We do not need to take an insult from a damnable "dirty sheet." As we ride upon a pass we don't have to be called a burn by a jealous Negro sheet. "Subscribe for the State Ledger $1.50 per year.

HERE AND THERE A charming young lady of Kensington who gleries in the possession of a wealth of bright auburn colored hair, is the teacher of a Sunday school class. On a recent Sabbath the rector made the announcement of a hymn to be sung and the organ pealed forth. A small and precocious youth in the womans class said: "Why don't you sing, Miss Frisbee 'Me! Oh, I never sing replied the teacher smilin her prettiest. But,' explained the boy, 'the minister says you must Didn't he just say, 'Now Reddy sing. Smelling salts and numerous otter restoratives had to be used to bring the teacher out of her faint. The other day says The Eagle Mrs. James Walton of King Fisher was in wichita accompanied by her two daughters aged 3 and 5 They had walked up and down the streets looking at the brilliant show windows, when the older girl looked up to her mother and asked, Mamma do you suppose heavens as nice as Wichita?" Ex. Ithaca, N. Y. A movement to destroy the alleged beef trust by means of an endless chain of letters has been started in this city. The main feature is to ask persons to abstain from eating meat for one week beginning May 15, Ex. At Junction City a woman is in jail as the result of an outburst of rage She went to the depot to see her hus' land, who some days ago, filed suit for divorce. He was in a Katy coach and refused to see her. Thereupon in het anger she smashed half a dozen on so of the car windows. Arrest followed, and she was bound over to the district cout in the sum of $200. Not being able to give bond she was placed in jail. From this little side-light on the matter, are you inclined to blame the husband for bringing suit for divorce? Ex. AN IDEAL TOWN FOR RACHLORS Maiwatchin, on the borders of Russia, is the city in the world peopleled by men only. The Chinese woman are not only forbidden to live in this territory, but even to pass the great wall of Kalkan and enter into Mongolia. All the Chinese of this border are exclusively traders. Ex It is a mistake for people who know nothing about music to ridisculte great singers or great preformers. Simply because it is beyond one's reach is no reason why it should be discredited. What we want in this country is to encourage a higher appreciation of the best. This music is good else people who know good music would not pay high prices to hear it Such things are not mere fake. we ought to be more sensible and not make our selves ridiculous trying to guy what is beyond us. Ex. Senator Dolliv r of Iowa tells this story on himself, which is expected to illustrate the difficulty a man of small means finds in getting along at the National capital. As a Representative he found little trouble, but when he became a Senator he found he had a much more pretention title to support. He was invited to social functions where he found the requirement of etauette quite severe. "On one occasion," says Senaror Doliver, "I was invited to attend a social function given by a high official, I went and had a most deightful time, concluding that washington social life was not a thing to be the least afraid of. This conclusion was reached, by the way, just as I was taking leave of the hosst. 'A liveried servant approached me and asked if my carriage was writing, and whether it was a single or double 'conveyance. Out of conideration for a lean pocket book I had ordered a cab rather than a two-hour carriage. As I was taking leave of a tew of my friende outside the door I had the pleasure of hearing the servant shouting to the carriage drivers: "Senator Dolliver's one-hour hack! Senator Dolliver's one-hour hack! "The man thn came to me and, with his head in the air, announced; 'Your hack's waitin'," Senator Dolliver.'" Ex. Domestic happiness is keep wrinkles away, prevents baldness and premature gray hair. Diplomacy is the natural weapon of the twentieth century--warfare a dernie resort. Artificiality is society's lane. Decivers are most successful in deceiving. Kansas hasn't gone all the gaits yet even if she is supposed to be the favorite nestling place for cranks. In Kentucky a young woman is running for Congress on a "Golden Rule" platform with prohibition on the side. "If you can't. Oblige people in any other way you can at least let them alone. Half the troubles of people are due to idle and impudent interference in their affairs. Half the time when you make a vigorous kick, there is no kick coming to you. One of the worst habit people have is making each other unnecessary trouble. Life is hard enough at best. Don't be a pest; if you can't help others you can at least let them alone." Ex Major Cole conducted a very successful three month revival a Ottawa, and the Herajd says it is believe that he received about $500 during the time. Evidently the major pays more attention to getting souls saved than to saving money. Evangelist Williams, after a three months' siege of the fortress of sin, would be able to show a clean up that would make the major's $500 look like small change. BUTLER COUNTY'S CANDIDATE FOR STATE SUPPT The editor of this paper takes great pleasure in introducing to its many readers the name of Mr. Sinclair the Butler County candidate for state superintendent. Prof. Sinclair as he is better known in his hme county came to Kansas 16 years ago and being a natural born educator, he began his career in Coffeyville, Ottawa and Eldorado as, supt of schoos. Mr. Sinclair was formerly principal of the Ft. Scott High School at Ft. Scott, Kansas, and was also instructor in county Normal Institutes in ten counties. Last year he was president of the Kansas Teachers association; fall in all Prof. Wm. Sinclair goes before the state convention with a host of friends and many flattering compliments from his home. Mr. Sinclair has been superintendent of the dity schools of Eldorado or the past four years and suffice to ay he is an especial favorite among the people of Butler county. Resolved; that we the delegates in assembly pledge ourselves to do all we can to secure the nomination of Wm. Sinclair and that each hall use all the honorable means pertaining thereto. At the closing of the county convention Prof. Sinclair was called to address the delegates and in his very masterly style of speech he made an address which captivated the heavens. Mr. Sinclair is determined to be nominated despite the claims of his opponents, and it begins to look as though he is going to have an easy lead. There is one thing sure, in Prof Sinclair the people will have in him a man who is universally popular as an educator and one who will make a good impression on the delegates at our next state convention at Wichita May 28th next. COUNCILMANKERNAN PRCMINENT 1102 DOUGLAS E. AVE. The above is Hon. S. B. Kernan one of the prominent business men and also councilman in the second ward for the city of Wichita. Mr. Kernan came to Kansas many years ago from Pennsylvania and being in business fifteen years makes him one of the most prominent men in the city. He has served as county treasurer, member of school board and now he is holding his first term in his ward for councilman which may develop itself in such manner to cause him to aspire for mayor next spring. He has a fine grocery store at 1102 East Douglas ave. and gives a good deal of his time looking after the interest of his many friends Two prominent state officials are boasting that they cornered the cane seed market and compelled the price to go up to nearly double what it legitimately would do. This may be smart financiering but it is a matter that ought to be locked into. Do we pay men for the purpose of having them rob the farmer? Is it right that money drawn in salaries from the public treasure should be used to corner the market and compel the farmer to overpay for seed? Such things ought not to be passed over lightly. It is just as honest to hold a man up one way as another. Ex Denver will receive $20,000 from Andrew Cannegie for library purposes. The gift comes as a result of the persistence of Will Palm, a Denver attorney who used to be a Lawrence boy. Palm has been hammering at Carnegie for two years to get the money. At first he was he was turned down hard. Ondday Andrew's private secretary happened to mention that that the man was formerly from Kansas.

"McCleary was a fine csmpaiger said a Kentuckian. "When he went the rounds of his district he kissed all the babies, prais the cooking of the housewives, judge the cattle of the farmers, and adapted himself to all circumstances. One night he drove up to the house of a farmer to stop all night, but arrived after the supper hours. The good women of the house insisted on getting him a supper but he resisted, and said that he would take anythings that she had. "She told him that she had some cold ham and cold biscuits, and would warm the coffee. 'Never midwarming the coffee, madam,' said McCreary. 'I prefer it cold.' Next morning at breakfast the good lady handled him' a cup of sickly looking liquid, aid saying 'Governer' you seemed to enjoy the coffee so much I saved some for your breakfast.' Ex.

The comptroller of the currency has received from the bureau of engraving and printing and has issued the first delivery of the new national bank notes, known as the series of 1902. These notes will be issued only to new banks organized since January 1, 1902, and those extending or re-extending their charters. Only the denominations of $10 and $20 are ready for issue. Later fives, fifties and hundreds will be issued. These notes are a radical departure in design from bank notes herefore issued, and are considered a great improvement. The backs have only one plate printing, which is an artistic vignette printed in green. The faces all bear portraits of prominent deceased officials of the government—President Harrison for the $5 note, President McKinley for the $10, Secretary McCulloch for the $20, Senator Sherman for the $50 and Comptroller John J. Knox for the $100. To facilitate the assorting of currency in the redemption agency of the treasury department, the charter numbers, with a system of letters in broad faced type designating the geographical division in which the bank is located, will be placed hereafter on both ends of the face of all notes printed, including the new series, as follows: Letter "N," New England states; "E," Eastern states; "M,5 Middle states; "S," Southern states; "W" Western States, and "P," Pacific states. These are the geographical divisions heretofore used in the department under which statistical matter has been reported. The comproller desires to save banks, as well as the office, unnecessary correspondence by announcing that it will be impossible to change designs for banks which have already had their notes prepared, as this would disarrange the system of records kept in the division of issue.—New York Tribune.

He was unwell and suffering much from sleeplessness. I think he frankly attributed his insomnia to the responsibilities of office, and, speaking of my own sleeplessness, he said: "If you have one sleepless night you can lie aside next day, but I must go to the office and there the worry and the anxiety come on top of the exhaustion, and as a consequence I have a sleepless night again." Some time afterwards I visited President Cleveland at his country home on Cape Cod; and when he spoke of Lord Rosebery I referred to the intense sense of responsibility in our prime minister, and quoted what he had said. "Well," said Mr. Cleveland, as near as I can remember his words, "I don't myself feel like that. When I am getting up in the morning I say to myself: 'Grover, you are googal down to the office today, and you'll see a great many people, and some of them will tell you a great many lies; but you've just got to do what is right,' and when I come home and I'm going to bed, I say to myself: 'Grover, you've been to the office today, and you've been a great many people, and some of them have told you a great many lies, but I think you've tried to do what was right.' And then I go right off to sleep." I trust it does no wrong to one of the strongest of the ex-presidents of the United States to recount this; in like manner I trust it does no wrong to our new Ulysses to say that Grover Cleveland's temperament, as illustrated by this incident, reveals a statesman in some respects better fitted to lead and to rule—Household World.

ONCE FAMOUS DUELING GROUND; HOW LINCOLN WISHED TO FIGHT. SARTORIS NOW A LIEUTENANT. ALGERNON SARTORIS. Mr. Sartoris, after serving through the Spanish-American war as a volunteer captain under Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, joined the industrial force of the Westinghouse Electrical company at Pittsburgh where he was working his way up when apprised of the president's action. WITHIN a few months the famous old dueling ground in St. Charles county, Mo. will have ceased to exist, says an Alton correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean. The shifting current of the Mississippi river has attacked the little plot of land and it is rapidly succumbing to the erosion of the waters. The St. Charles dueling ground has been the scene of more "affairs of honor" than any other one spot in the Western country. Its chief title to the land now lies in that that it was there that Abraham Lincoln James A. Shields, afterwards brigadier general and United States senator from the states of Illinois, Minnesota and Missouri successively, in the only duel to which he was ever provoked. The dueling ground is directly across the river from Alton. In the early days of the state it was much frequented by those who thought their honor required vindication with the pistol or sword, and the accessibility of the place soon gave it a wide reputation. The laws of Illinois did not look kindly on the practice of dueling and prescribed such penalties for the practice that even the most hot-headed fire-eater was glad to get outside the state before a hostile meeting with an adversary. The laws of Missouri took no cognizance of the SARTORIS NOW ALGERNON SARTORIS. Mr. Sartoris, after serving through volunteer captain under Gen. Fitzhuh the Westinghouse Electrical company, his way up when apprised of th dueling habit, and it was considered military duty to keep the district military disputes by the shedding of bolt Consecrated Ground. That was in the old days, however. A more enlightened spirit has since prevailed in reference to such customs and in consequence it has been many years since a duel has taken place on the St. Charles ground. Its fame has made it consecrated ground in the memory of many Illinoisans and Missourians, and a few years after the war steps were taken to preserve the spot in its original shape. The dueling ground was in a little ravine through which a creek at one time wound its its way across the land, and left nothing to show its former presence but its desolate bed and a number of huge boulders that the water had left sticking up from the ground. Enough money was raised by subscription to remove these boulders and to erect an iron fence around the grounds, and in that condition they have remained ever since. Rudiculed the Auditor Mr. Lincoln's meeting there with Shields has furnished one of the few ludicrous episodes with which the deuling field has ever been credited. Shields was then auditor of the state of Illinois. The finances of the state were in a deplorable condition; the treasury was empty; auditor's warrants were selling at half their nominal value; no more money was to be borrowed, and taxation was dreaded by both political parties more than disgrace. The currency of the state banks was virtually the only circulating medium in Illinois. In the month of August, 1842, the governor, auditor and treasurer issued a circular forbidding the payment of state taxes in this depreciated paper. This order was taken by the Whigs as indicating on the part of these officers a keener interest in the integrity of their salaries than in the public welfare, and it was therefore severely attacked in all the opposition papers of the state. The sharpest assault it had to endure, however, was in the communication printed in the Sangamon county, which not only disdose the administration circular with the most savage satire, but covered the auditor with merciless personal ridicule. It purported to come from a farmer's widow, who expressed in this fashion her discontent with*an evil course of affairs. Shields Was Furious. Shields was a man of inordinate vanity and a corresponding irresistible ability. He was for that reason an irresistible mark for satire. His fury against the unknown author of the satire was the subject of much merriment in Springfield, where he appeared from a different hand, in which the widow offered to make up the quarrel by marrying the auditor, and this in turn was followed by an epithalamium, in which this happy compromise was celebrated in very bad varse. In the change of hands all the humor of the thing had vanished, and nothing was left but feminine mischief on one hand and the generation of wounded vanity on the other. Shields had talked so much about the matter that he felt imperatively called upon to act. He therefore sent a messenger to the editor of the paper and demanded from him the name of the author of the articles. The editor was in a quandary, and he was asked by Mr. Lincoln, but the two following it had been written by two young women who took an active interest in politics, and could not let the chance slip to have a little fun with Sifela. The editor appealed to Mr. Lincoln in his dilemma, and the latter answered. "Oh, tell Shields that I wrote them. Don't let the names of the women appear in the matter." As soon as Shields had the name of Mr. Lincoln given to him, he began to be told of the vengeance he would take, and he was given a challenge couched in the most blustering terms. Mr. Lincoln was disposed to laugh at the matter, and his friends tried in every way to patch the thing up with Shields, but nothing would do the latter but a hostile meeting. Mr. Lincoln had to finally consent to this, but he never seemed to divest himself of the idea that the whole proceeding was a huge joke. They repaired to St. Charles, and Lincoln, being the chief party, had the choice of weapons. After the arrival of the grunt he wasaked what weapons he would select. With a quizical twinkle in his eye, he replied: An Original Duel "Lets have some originality about this duel. I prefer cannon at 50 paces." The absurdity of the proposition creates a general laugh, in which even Shields could laugh. But he was in this traceable frame of mind the seconds reasoned with him, with A LIEUTENANT. through the Spanish-American war as a high Lee, joined the industrial force of any at Pittsburg where he was work- the president's action. the result that he and Lincoln were soon talking as amably together as if nothing had happened, and the duel was off. The prominence of the men had attracted general attention to the duel, and when the boats carrying the principals and seconds were seen crossing the Mississippi back to Alton a large crowd stood on the shore awaiting news of the result of the supposed encounter. Again Mr. Lincoln's whimsical tendencies saw the chance for another Joke. Placing a log in his skiff he had it covered with clothes, and as the boat approached it he jumped up and it was the body of one of the principals. When they reached the shore Mr. Lincoln, coolly reached down, took the clothes off the log, and rolled the latter into the river. It took the spectators on the shore a moment to realize the situation, but when they did a roar of laughter went up that dispelled the general tension. The duellists remained in Alton all night and dined at a hotel with their friends, and although both men fought each other with intensity during political campaigns, they remained firm ever after. The old duelship brought Charles thus together two statesmen who would have probably remained bitter enemies throughout their life, and made bosom friends of them. A Deathbed Recognition. Lippincott's Magazine: "Ucle Jimmie" was the man who had a reputation for "tightness" in business affairs, which clung to him in the entire 80-odd years of his existence. When he was stricken with what he believed he had learnt, he came to see him who had heard he was near unto death. The family were gathered about the room in various stages of grief—he had not been an over kind husband and father—and the sick man lay on his bed with closed eyes and labored breathing. "He knows you," said his wife tearfully to the neighbor, who tipped to the side of the bed and leaned over the occupant. "Uncle Jimmie, do you know me?" asked the neighbor gently. A deep silence hung over the room. Finally, "Uncle Jimmie" slowly opened his eyes and fixed them intently on the questioner. "Who you?" he echoed feebly. "reckon I do! Where's that gallon of vinegar you owe me?" The neighbor had to acknowledge the recognition was complete. Possibly His Hat. Cincinnati Enquirer: J. A. Smith, Jr., is in the habit of dining at the Gibson House restaurant, and one day during the past week came out second best in a passage at repatriate with the boy who attends to the hatrack. Mr. Smith sallied forth from the restaurant after enjoying his meal, and as Claude handed him his top piece he thought he would quiz the lad. "Is this my hat?" he asked. "I don't know." was the answer. "I don't know," was the answer. "Well, then, why do you hand it to me if you don't know who whether it is my hat or not?" answered Mr. Smith sharply. "Because that is the hat you handed to me when you went into the restaurant." answered Claude. The boy's answer stunned Mr. Smith and he did some rapid-fire thinking as he left the hotel. Former Governor Francis of Missouri is regarded by admirers as strong enough foundation for a Democratic presidential candidate. KANSAS NEWS BRIEFS.
