Garcia is a bit sensitive. He
is not setting a good example to
his men when he refuses to co
operate with the Americans.
Vic Murdoch's scheme of run-
ning a Rough Rider for delegate
to congress is springing the
new soldier idea rather sudden-
ly-
Keaton is going to let the
pops vote for 'him but he is
pledged to carry on a democrat-
ic campaign. This will be a par-
alysis to pop enthusiasm.

Ponce, the town where Miles
is landing his troops, looks only
one letter different from the well
known Oklahoma word of Ponca
and soon it will be as historical.
AN NO l NCK.M ENTS.
For Sheriff.
We are authorised to announce the name of
J. H. Carter, of North Seminole township, as
a candidate for the office of County Sheriff of
Lincoln county, subject to the will of the
Republican nominating convention.
Getting nominated on the fu-
zion ticket is one tiling this year
but getting elected—oh, that is
another story.
The bodies of Capt. Allyn Cap-
ron and Hamilton Pish are being
brought home for burial. But
most of the soldiers who fell will
sleep in the soil their blood has
made sacred.
Col. Woods, now a brigadier
general, is military governor of
Santiagoand Roosevelt's boom for
military governor of-New York
is growing.
We Anglo-Saxons are the hot
tamales, sure. One of the ways
in which the Britisher compli-
ments an American soldier is
to remind the world that he be-
longs to the Anglo-Saxon race.
Now that the democrats feel
justified in existing their ex-
uberance is something huge and
the party artificers are busy
weeding iron bands for the
swollen brows of democratic
statesmen.
With a calicky smile the pops
say editorially: "While we were
in favor of Delegate Callahan—
still, the powers decided it
should be otherwise. We shall
all rally to Mr. Keaton's sup-
port," etc. Inwardly, though,
they are mad clear through and
who wouldn't be to have the tail
way the dog?
The warning shot which the i
Pott, county pops sent across
Keaton's bows has caused -some
secret worry in the great un-
washed circles.
The only great commander in
this war that no one picks flaws
in is Dewey. Sampson, Schley,
Shafter, Miles, and the rest have
been praised, criticised, sneered,
and jeered at with the frank free-
dom of Americans but no one
has a fault to find with Dewey.
Loyal' people would just as
proudly wear a f'lara Barton
badge as a Dewey button. Miss
Barton's department is as nec-
essary in this war as Gen. Miles'
is.
A funny story on Keaton is to
the effect that while he was mak-
ing a speech denouncing Cleve-
land he received a telegram an-
nouncing that Cleveland had
just appointed him judge. Kea-
ton went on with the speech but
so modified it with praise of
Grover that he struck his hear-
ers" dumb with amaze. The fun
o , ,
ny part of this story is that it is
true.
Yellow fever is not yet
stamped out in our army but iis
ravages are being wonderfully
reduced by the application of
modern science. The men who
die of disease are as truly heroes
as those shot down in battle but
the mission of humanity is to
lessen mortality of any kind.
Instances occur daily of con-
version to republican principles
and policies. This is going on
1 all over the territory. Two
years of prosperity have convin-
ced many men who at the last
election were dazzled by the
free silver theory and despond-
ent from "four more years of
; Grover."
Lincoln county republicans
will have the third largest repre-
sentation in the congressional
convention of any of the counties.
They have it in their power this
year to compel the recognition
which they have merited in the
past but which they have been
denied. While they should do
nothing to create dissention in
the party they should by all
means look out for the interests
of our county. We are begin-
ning a era of growth and devel-
opment with the building of our
first railroad, and we should see
to it that the man 'whom the re-
publicans will elect as delegate
to congress this fall is one who
realizes that the big east side
has interests and rights as well
as votes and and one who, in his
leadership of the party-, will be
inclined to distribute favors and
honors with a proper regard for
the eternal fitness of things. If
the delegation we sei d to the
convention from this county is
allowed to be used to promote
the interest of other sections we
should not complain in the fu-
ture, but if, on the other hand,
j we organize to look out for Linc-
| oln county, we are bound to suc-
| ceed. It will pay to think about
i this.

Kansas has not had much
glory in this war. The twent-
ieth Kansas still holds down the
sands by the sad sea wave at San
Francisco and the twenty-first
Kansas has just gone to Porto
Rico after a summer at Chica-
mauga I'ark.
If the fusionists are basing
their hopes of electing Keaton
upon the theory that the repub-
licans will become divided by a
fight among themselves, they
may as well give up right now.
There are republicans who don't
like Gov. Barnes and there are
republicans whom Gov. Barnes
does not like, but is very doubt-
ful whether there is any republi-
can whory they would not all
support rather than to*give aid
and comfort to a pie-hunting
fusionist.
