A BIO SUCCESS.
The Merchants Carnival for the
benefit of the band was a pronounced
success. Thursday evening the drill
was repeated to a larger crowd than
that of Tuesday evening, and it was
pronounced by those present even
better than that of the former even-
ing The crowd voted the first prize
for most appropriate costume to Miss
Pearl Butcher, who represented Die-
mer’6 livery barn, the second prize to
Miss Tate, representing Foster Mer-
cantile Company, and the third
prize to Miss Ethel Blood, represent-
ing Ferguson Bros & Vickery. The
especial feature of the evening was
the voting of the gold watcli to the
most popular young lady in Kay
county. W. C. Tetirick, made one of
his characteristic talks in behalf of
the band boys, and Willard Foster,
was selected as master of ceremonies,
with Geo Hines, VVm. Wymer, and
W. A. Hays, as clerks to count the
votes. ML Foster annnounced the
candidates aud their votes, there be-
ing nine or ten with votes ranging
from 21 to .‘id, and asked for additional
candidates. Mr Mercer of the Maine
Market, placed in nomination, Miss
Nan Carlton, who so creditably rep-
resented his market, and cast 50 votes
for her, placing her at once in first
place; he was followed by another
vote of 25 for Miss Carlton, and with
that the race began in dead earnest,
and Miss May Balsly being the only
other candidate inside of the Hag,
and a popular one,jshe was nobly sup-
ported. Miss Balsly received Pj
votes at one time, tieing the largest
vote received at any one time by any
of the candidates. The young ladies
were escorted to the stage that all
might see them, and their appear-
ance only intensified the voting and
the Interest of the audience. First
one was ahead and then the other,
and the race was won by a head, Miss
Carlton receiving 680 votes to 674 for
Miss Balsly, The votes were 10 cents
each and the boys realized handsome-
ly from the watch. We understand
that the band netted about 9175 from
the carnival and that while not suffi-
cient to buy the new uniforms, it
will be appropriated for that pur-
pose and they will try to make up
the difference aome other way.
)im wiucur fob dilmati.
It has been announced that republi-
can! of Newkirk have agreed to rap-
port James Wilkin, of Owens town-
ship, for Kay county’s candidate for
delegate to attend the national re-
publican convention at Philadelphia.
After a careful search of the county
for a man who is in accord with his
party in all things, and stands high
j in the esteem not only of the people
1 of his own section, but of the whole
i county, the Courier joins common
opinion among republicans in the be-
i lief that Mr.Wilkin is an ideal candi-
date in all particulars. He is not a
self-seeking man in any sense of the
i word, yet, when he is given the stand-
ard of the party to bear he is tireless
'in the effort to carry it on to suc-
cess.
He has twice been the candidate of
| the republicans of this district, for
the lower house of the legislature,
and both times lias developed re-
markable strength before the people.
Neither time has he forced himself
upon tile party for nomination, hut
'both times he was solicited by his
friends, both within and without the
oarty, before he gave his consent.
His infiuence is, and always has been,
for harmony within his party, and he
has exercised it in ways most bene-
ficial to the organisation.
His township and the neighboring
town of Tonkawa, as well as the
whole west side of the county, have
been asking him to be a candidate
for delegate for som* time. Ths
Courier undertands that he has ac-
cepted the cal), and will be before
the county convention asking its en-
dorsement
Without equivocation, the Courier
endorses his candidacy, and hopes, as
it believes, that he will he chosen
without a dissenting vote. With as
fair and able a candidate there is no
necessity for controversy among the
republicans —PoncaCity Courier.
A BAD AFFAI'A.
Joe Ennis was shot by Policeman
Seng Saturday night while resisting

were taken from him at that time.

of Joe Ennis, when he shot, ball going

one of the Ennis boys’ hands. Police-

A NOTED HORSE.
A. I). Butt, the elevator man, re-
turned this week from Cambridge
City, Ind., where he had been to at-
tend a combination sale of horses.
He bought and shipped to this city
the celebrated stallion, Cambrel, who
has a pacing record of 2.10, and a
three-year-old gelding with a world
of speed. Gambrel is either a trotter
or pacer but shows the most speed at
the latter gait. This section of the
country is ideal for the fast horse,
and the best in the world have been
bred in Southern Kansas, adjacent to
us. *Kay county horsemen will con
gratulate Mr. Butt on his purchase,
and will appreciate his enterprise in
bringing such good stock into the
county.
