The Chootaw,
The corps of Choctaw surveyors,
which left here three weeks ago, is now
ten miles west of Keokuk Falls seeking
a suitable place to re-cross the riycr.
The survey made by this crops departs
from tho old survey below Choctaw
City, and crosses to the north side of
the river at Sweeney's bridge. The
line runs ten miles north of Shawnee
and misses Keokuk Kalis about ten
miles. It also misses Tecumseh nearly
fifteen miles. The present survey may
be made in order to force the towns to

Great preparations have been made by
the Fire boys and a grand time is ex.

Let's all turn out and help the enter-
prise. The speakers will be here and a
grand time will be had. A large number
of people from other towns will help us

works.

How To Get Prosperity.
The Populists assert, and have forced
many laboring men to believe a lie,
namely, that the Kepublican party is
not their friend.
The Republican party, opposed by
the organized Democracy, saved this
country and destroyed human slavery,
and elevated the working masses from
chattels and "mudsills of society.''
It is responsible alone for the free-
school system, by which tho poor chil-
dren are given a first class education.
It is alone responsible for the home-
stead act, giving a free home, or sell-
ing a farm at $1.25 per acre.
The Republicans arc alone respon-
sible for exempting the home from
forced sale for any debt, and it is In-
alienable unless one voluntarily mort-
gages away his rights.
That party exempted a large amount
of personal property from sale for debt,
and exempts $200 from all taxation.
The Republican party is responsible
for developing this country up to the
offer a bonus, although the surveyors be8t ml t,le faco the globe, and for
developing its manufactories until the

Alvord, President of the Stillwater
Agricultural College, last Monday.
A woman who came all the way from ; Norman is seldom visited by a more j ]jem0cracy into power, and destroyed
the home products.
It is alone responsible for so increas-
ing the demand for labor, that work-
ing men and women were from 1880 to
18112 paid the highest wages of any
laboring ptiopl« in tKo world.
The Republican party is also respon-
sible for so diversifying manufactories
that everything in the way of clothing
and supplies are cheaper than in any
former decade, while wages were high-
er.
The Republican party is alone re-
sponsible for giving Americans the best
financial system the world has ever
known, and of making use of over five
hundred millions of silver as money, in
tlic last twenty years, from'73 to'93,
while in all the previous history of our
country, only eight millions had been
used, and every dollar of silver or cur-
rency is as good as gold.
Republican inangement was so per-
fect that in its last year (1892) of con-
trol, the highest commercial authority,
Dun's Review, said: "The largest
trade ever known; the mills crowded
witli work, and all business stimulated
by high hopes." Factories were all
busy and laborers were employed.

general confidence, and hard times, the
worst known by this generation, was
the results, and the same high com-
mercial authority said of 1893: "Start-
ing with the largest trade ever known,
the mills crowded with work, the year
'93 has proved, in the shrinkage of
trade, in commercial disaster and tho
depression of industries the worst in
fifty years. The year closes with the
prices of many products the lowe®' r
known, with millions of workers see., i ^
in vain for work, and with chai v
laboring to keep back suffering and
starvation in all our cities."
Contrast the condition of labor and
its reward in prices in 1890-1 and '92,
with what they have been in 1893-4,
and see what the people have lost by
putting the demo-populist party in
power. How is it with the scandals
and mismanagement of \ Kansas
finances, and state charitable and penal
institutions; mismanagement and in-
competence in high places; the assess-
ments being lowered on Pullman and
other railway property but kept upon
their horses and lands. Instead of 75
cents for wheat and 20 pounds of sugar
for a dollar, you now get 35 cents for
wheat and 15 pounds of sugar tor a
! dollar.
The remedy is to vote the Republican
I party into power next November,
