County Superintendent Moore Surprised by County Teachers.
A very pleasant reception was given in the circuit court room Thursday evening by the teachers in honor of their County Superintendent of Schools Roy L. Moore. The affair was an entire surprise to Mr. Moore as the teachers had so carefully guarded their secret as to keep all knowledge of their plans from him until he was ushered into the court room filled with applauding teachers. A very enjoyable program, consisting of music, readings and short addresses, was rendered.
Everyone taking part seemed to enter into the spirit of the occasion. At the close of the program Mr. Moore received a handsome umbrella as a token of the esteem of his teachers. Light refreshments were served and the remainder of the evening was delightfully spent socially. H.

Eureka Automobile Co. J. E. UNSICKER, Manager PROGRESSIVE TICKET. El Paso Journal Says There Are Defects in the Petition.
The last issue of the El Paso Journal contains the following: The Progressive ticket was filed at 5:20 p. last Friday, the petition bearing but ten names, all Eureka residents, as follows: E. Dierkes, Joe Major, J. M. Allen, Richard Dickinson, Albert Gaylor, Stephen Hart, G.
W. Freese, F. B. Jeanpert, J. L.
Krause, A. J. Mourer. Mr. Hart procured the signatures and filed the petition.
These ten names by some are deemed ample the purpose intended, while others claim that at least the petitions of two of the Progressive candidates are faulty. There were two papers fled, one naming the candidate for judge and the candidate for sheriff; the other paper bore the names of the candidates for treasurer and clerk. In all other respects the two papers were duplicates. The last general election in Woodford county gave Roosevelt 1,495 votes and the primary law requires one half 1 per cent of this vote on petitions of candidates. This means that at least eight signatures must be bona fide.
By looking at the list of signers given above it will be noticed that Freese and Gaylor signed their own petitions as candidates for treasurer and clerk, respectively, while Nagel and Evey signed their petition. Furthermore, Hart circulated, signed and filed the petitions, something over which there is contention as to his having the right do. Now if Freese and Gaylor are to be disqualifled as signers to their own petition, and Hart's name was also eliminated in any way, it would leave Freese and Gaylor one' signature 'short of having enough. However much it may be claimed that a voters name can only appear once in any capacity on a nomination paper, many. good lawyers give the opinion that there is nothing in the law forbidding a name from appearing twice, especially as petitioner and filer.

4 o'clock of cholera morbus, after being sick for two days. He had. long lived on a farm, but a few days ago retired and moved to Minonk. He is survived by. his wife and the following children: Edward, of Wenona, and Frank, Gertrude, and Mildred at home.
YEA VERILY. Call the Lord unto the battle, Gather in the holy places Ye elected of the Lord's; Call upon Him, all ye races That He sanctify your swords. Yea, exhort Him, all ye brothers; "Great Jehovah, help us when We go forth to slay Thine others, Thine the glory, Lord, Amen. Sound the trumpet, ye who serve Him Chant your battle hymns, divine; With your pious arts now serve Him, That His ears to you incline. Yea invoke, beseech Him, brothers; "Great Omnipotent, now when We go forth to slay Thine others; Thine the' power, Lord, All ye keepers of His altars There let warfare's beacon burn, Lest His favor for you falters And His face may elsewhere turn.
Yea, heap high the red fire, brothers, "Mighty Soverign lead us when We go forth to slay Thine others; Thine the kingdom, Lord, Amen." Thine the kingdom, power and glory; Thine the service we engage, And our brothers' bodies glory Testify of righteous rage. So we left our invocation the God of one and all To the God whom all the nations, In their work of hell, dare call. W. C. BRUBAKER.
