The Santa Fe New Mexican has this to say of R. W. E. Twitchell, a former student of the Kansas State University, who is well known to many Lawrence people; The verdict of the people and of the bar of this district is that Mr. Twitchell has few equals and no supervisors as a prosecutor in the territory. His arguments are logical, convincing and forcible. He is an orator, and before any jury he is a power which the best may fear. He seems to know every important point in his cases, and in the introduction of evidence before a jury he is a master hand. A prosecuting officer in this district has to meet in the forum of justice the ablest members of the bar of New Mexico, and when the efforts of the territory result in a conviction $p$ is not necessary to be said that the district attorney is worthy of praise for his success. Mr. Twitchell is a rising young man. His fortune is being made. Dame Fortune smiles upon him."
Last Sunday's Salt Lake Daily Tribune contains the complimentary notice given below of Fred Leonard who was brought up in this city and has many friends here. He has just been nominated on the liberal ticket for the office of assessor and collector of Salt Lake City. The Tribune says: "The Colorado contingent in Utah is very large, and there is not one in the whole land that will not swear by Fred Leonard. A fair sample of the man is the way he made his campaign. His only proposition was that the best man in each precinct should be selected at the primaries, and that he would take his chance with the others for final nomination. We would be glad if our morning contemporary would pursue him with the rest so viciously that the people would all have to make Fred Leonard's acquaintance; and if it will do that, we will promise it that the opposition candidate will not be in it when the votes shall be counted."

"SEEING IS BELIEVING."
Some lamps are TOLERABLY good.
But who wants a "tolerably" good egg? And there is a heap of trouble with a "tolerably" good lamp. There is one lamp good without the tolerable - THE ROCHESTER SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL, AND THE ROCHESTER will make the truth more fiercely. All metal, tough and seamless, and made in three pieces only, it is ABSOLUTELY SAFE and UNISEARABLE. Like Aladdin's of old, it is indeed a "wonderful lamp," for its marvelous light is purer and brighter than gas light, softer than electric light and more cheerful than either.
Look for this stairway—THE ROCHCHESTER. If the lamp dealer hasn't the genuine ROCHESTER, and the style you want, send to us for our new illustrated catalogue and we will and you a lamp safely by enterprise—your choice of over 2,000 varieties from the Lancier LAMP STORE in BOX WOOM.

"Keep cool," said the burner to the oil fount. "Don't hug me so tight then," it replied. We heard their conversation, and so make our burner in two pieces, between which the air circulates freely, and our oil fount is cooler than that of any other lamp.
