hExAAKADLK WEATHER.
During the last week We have llad 3 most
remarkable spell of weather." It has raiued
for seven days eonsecutively. This ls weep
ing for "drouthy Kansas," on the part Of the
heavens, to some purpose. But the r4in has
not been 20 unusual as the cold weather.
We have had regular November weather a
great portion Of the Last eight days, Summer
suits have boen discarded and thick clothing
Brought into requiaition. Fires have been
kiudled in the e,ttirg-soom and the Office.
The Goody B1akea and Harry Gills have felt
that it WAS "verJ chilly" We can easily be-
love the reports Of anow storms TO the west
OF US.
cBops IN KANSAS.
The rains have been very opportune for lats
corn, late potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbAges,
and other root crops. There is now promise
Of an abundant yield of field crops. The

than was anticipated. Taking into considera-
ton its superior quality. aud the increase in
surface harvested this year, it il safe to esti-
this sason az fully one-third greater than that
Of any previous year. OF the corn crop this

TuR POLITICAL CAMPAIGN
