A Judge, long Since Maud Muller’s day.
Tried his hand at raki* hay.
He carried a muck-rake to the field.
A larger rake than he amid wield.
He wreetled with it all day long.
He heard not one* the mock-bird * aong.
Nor heard old Nature oft repeat
In Delphic murmurs his defeat
* And when at last the aua was low,
i The Judge had ceased his work to go,
: Alas to him, it was twvsalsd
He’d used the wrong rake for the Hold.

THE DAYLIGHT CORNER
ON MAIN AT SEVENTH
Blackwell’s Desperation.
[ Blackwell’s fight for the County seat
khas bee >me so desperate that she has
•drafted her Ministers into the service,
but do you suppose for a moment that
the Preachers of Blackwell have been
“called.” Well, we have heard of
Ministers being called to preach the
gospel, but never heard of them before
being called to preach the County scat.
We rather anticipate that the voice
that called them, had rather a metallic
sound. It may be all right, but we are
just wondering how the Ministers who
have been out campaigning and telling
the good Brethern that Blackwell was
closer to the geographical center of
the County than Newkirk, and that
Newkirk was 6.17-miles from the geo-
graphical center, how they would an-
swer to their God, for the preaching of
Buch falsehoods. We are unable to
jtofihd anything in the Holy Scriptures
pertaining to the County seat, unless
possibly it would be Exodus, the
twentieth chapter, and seventeenth
verse, which reads as follows: ‘Thou
shall not covet thy neighbors house,
(Court House,) thou shall not covet thy
neighbors wife, nor his man servant,
nor his maid servant, nor his ox, nor
his ass, or ANYTHING that is thy
neighbor’s.” Of course if the Black-
well Ministers conscientiously feel that
it is in harmony with thtf Scriptures to
preach to the voters of Kay county,
that they should vote away the valua-
tion of property located in Newkirk, in
order to boom and increase the valua-
tion of Real Estate in Blackwell; thus
take money and valuation from one
Brother and give it to another, when
being moved by selfish motives, all
that we can say, is “God’s speed.’’
What motive prompts the Ministers of
Blackwell who own no Blackwell Real
Estate, and who are liable to be moved
at any time to some other point, to
we have got to say is, “God be with
you until we meet Again.’’
Farmers:—Hold Your Wheat.
Nearly all our customers who have
raised wheat in the past 10 years have
not sold it from the machine. Store it
in a good place; come to us and we will
loan you money on it. Pay your thresh-
ing bill and whatever else you wish to
,pay with our money. The interest will
not be much but the advance in price is
usually a good deal, if you have not
tried thiB way of making money—your
neighbor has and has made money by
having done so.

Anthony, Kansas, fair last week was
won by Charlie Wilkburst, a well
known Kay county trotter, owned by
J. H. Croft of Nardin. Time, 2:16*.

horses in Kay county.
Mibs Isalin Williamson of Kaw City
was called to Uncas the first of the
week on account of the serious illness
of her little sister, who later died and
was burned at U ncas.
Dr. J. G. Dixon of Kaw City while
scuffling recently had his collar bone
broken.
Monday evening at Kaw City Hugo
Milda’s team became frightened and
broke away. While running the team
collided with a top buggy in which were
Mrs. Elmer Richardson, her niece and
two small children. The ladies were
badly bruised but the children were
uninjured.
Mrs. J. W. DeCou of the vicinity of
Kaw City fell heir recently to $5,000,
left her by an uncle, Bird Wilkins of
Salem, Illinois.
President Kelley, of the Tonkawa
Preparatory school, has just returned
from his advertising trip and is work-
ing with his usual energy to advance
the interests of the school for the
coming year. Over $700 worth of
new books have been added to the new
library, and conditions for a fine Bchool
thiB year are better than ever before.
Republican Committee Meeting.
Monday afternoon, pursuant to call,
the Republican County Central Com-
mittee met at the city hall in this city
with W. J. Krebs as Temporary Chair-
man and P. 3. Mason as Temporary
Secretary. A. S. Hatton was later
unanimously chosen as Chairman of the
committee and P; S. Mason as Secre-
tary. J. W. Wymer was then made
treasurer. The chair appointed W. J.
Krebs, R. E. Welsh and R. C. Whinery
to select delegate to the State Conven-
tion at Oklahoma City. The selections
were made and the motion was made
to adjourn.

the expense of every other intereet in
the county. The people
that when the city of Tonkawa _
to secure the Preparatory school. Black*
well bitterly fought that proposition,
and has never ceased to envy her rival
because she succeeded in securing that
now famous institution. The people
have not forgotten that when Bremen
and Ponca City sought to obtain the
establishment of a county high school,
it waa Blackwell that made a bitter
fight, end threw their unanimous vote
against that proposition, solely becauee
the county high school at either Bra-
man or Ponca City would give these
places some prestage. The people have
not forgotten that when the Constitu-
tional Convention waa in session, it was
Blackwell that endeavored in that body,
through her delegate, to cut this coun-
ty in two parts; and had no other argu-
ment for such a disastrous and rede*
less proposition, than that Black-
well might become county east of the
western half of the county. The fact
that such a division of the county
would practically double the taxes of
the people, end depreciate the value of
farm land, had no effect upon the
vaulting ambition of selfish Blackwell.
Recently Blackwell caueed to be pub-
lished in her pnpms, a purported atop
of Key county; this map designated
the various cities end towns of the
county. Blackwell waa indicated by a
| very large end prominent mark, while
Bremen and Nardin were indicated by
simply dots, and the flourishing city of
Tonkawa, doing as large a commercial
business as Blackwell, and destined to
outgrow her in a few years, was rep-
resented by e small insignificant mark.
The city of Ponca City, doing twice the
business of the city of Blackwell, con-
taining as large a population, waa ako
represented by a small dot. The city
of Newkirk, the county east of the
county, wee also insignificantly repre-
sented on this Blackwell map. These
are small matters, hot they go to ahow
the selfish personal views of this am-
bitious and aspiring aspirant for county
seat honors. The people of the county
are beginnii* to understand these
things, and know the motive of the
present county sent agitation. There
was no call for such SB ieeoe, and there
was no demand on the part of any con-
siderable number of the people of this
county to take upon themselves the
burden of a county seat strangle, ex-
cept in Black wriL
are satisfied with the _
seat location, and they are in no
to take upon their shoulders the t
of increased taxation, which every in-
telligent man in the county knows must
bq the result of the removal of the
county seat The entire sentiment for
the change of county eoat waa manu-
factured in Blackwell. The object is
to boom her reel estate;
empty buildings, end
speculators, all at the expense ef the
tax payers of the county. The election
will take place on the 3rd of September
next, and if we mistake act, at the
cloee of the polls on that day. Black-
well will realise that her aspirations
have received a sudden shock; that the
people have spoken in no uncertain
terms, and that the eoupty scat agita-
tion which Blackwell has kept almost
constantly in the air for the pari 10
years, is quieted forever, and that the
tax payers of Kay county will not lend
themselves as willing took to boom
and boost the real estate of Blackwell,
who has continually acted the dog in
the manger, and sought to tear down
other equally as good towns as herself,
with no other object in view other
than self advancement.
