of the causes may be found in the manner

doctors differ" and so do farmers yet
no matter how great diversity of opin-
ion among them as to the minor causes that
assisted in promoting the disaster to the
wheat crop, yet the result will, with all of
them, be the same:-a determination to
study more thoroughly than ever heretofore
the relations of soil and climate, and from
the experience of the past deduce those prin-
ciples which. when properly applied, shall
give comparative immunity to the wheat
crop from the damaging effects of even such
extraordinary drouths as that which is now
upon us.
The failure the present season has not di-
minished the faith of our best farmers-ac-
quired by the favorable results of many pre-

culiarly adapted to the growth of wheat, Of
both fall and spring variety.

A Carlist revolution has broken out in
Spain, under the lead of Don CARLOS, a
brother of King Ferdinand who died in 1888.
Twenty seven years ago he was defeated in
his attempt to mount the throne. and exiled
to France. The Carlists, have chosen
their time for new outbreak with great sa-
gacity. The Government is engaged in an
exhausting war with Morocco, the greater
part of the army is away, and if the revo-

Shall the Coming ssFourthss be Celebrated

We have heard this question afirmatively an
swered by large number of our citizens within
the past few days For our own part, we say
that there ought 10 be proper celebration Of the
coming Fourth Of July, held in Emporia -
In 1883, the citizens Of Emporia and vicinity
got up creditable celebration, with free dinner,
for one thousand persons. 1t was the first gener-
al gathering of the people that ever took place in
this portion of Kansas, and was productive of an
immense amount of good. The facilities at that
time for getting up a successful celebration were
of the most nferior kind compared with those of
to day. Let rs have regular old fashioned cele-
bration or baFbecue, in which all the people can
join with feeling and interest which shall re-
store the old harmony. 80 long disturbed By local

favor of having . proper eelebration of the
coming Fourth of July, ct Emporia.
