Mr.. EDITOR Il see by your last
Issue that our worthy friend, w. s.
Hanna, comes from "behind the
scenes" to defend come twenty-five
or thirty men of this county and
Chase, who need no defense on his
part, as they say in an article over
their own signatures of week before
last, that they did not sign the "se-
cret circular" which was circulated
with their names attached and al
so state the kind of circular they did
sign, and that w. S. Hanna present
ed, ali of which l believe is correct;
and Mr.. Owens, who purports to
be the author of the article, appears
to think there is or was some trick
about il, which we also concede, but
not on our part, for we find that
circular IS published, word for
word, in the hands of the secretary
of Lakeside Grange. We saw an
other published in the Farmers Adj
vocate, of Mcpherson county, which
the editor stated was handed to him
by Patron. And he published it
by request, but il had written on
the back a very high recommend
for the party for which this circular
purported 10 have been put in cir
culatiOu. This was done by one OF
the parties who signed the circular.
And still another, which We spoke

heading was torn off. This was not

THE COUNTY FAIR.

THE CNDDNTX FAIR.
The appeal of the State Board
OF Agriculture to the people ofthe
State, which is published elsewhere,
contains some sensible and timely
suggestions, which are as applica-
BILE TO the local as to the State
Fair.
Our Fair must be made a sue
cess. There are a hundred rea |
sons why every one should not on |
ly attend himself but should bring
the best he has, even if it is not as
good as usual.
The reasoning set forth in the
appeal on behalf of the State Fair,
will hold good on behalf OF every
local Fair in the State. Let every
citizen OF Lyon and adjoining
counties who can possibly do so,
make point of attending the Fair
commencing Sept. 1st at the
grounds near theis city.
The exhibition can and probably
will be the best ever held here in
everything except grain and vege-
tables, and there need be nothing
to be ashamed of in these. The
Fair can be made much more val.
liable to farmers than when every.
body has immense crops. 1t is no
, great credit to the farmer to raise
big crops when everybody has
them. They grow in spite of poor
4 farming. But such years as this
( test the qualities Of our farmers,
= and approve or condemn the va
: rious ways pursued in raising the
t same crops. He who can show
j good results this year, and can ea-
u plain the reasons Of his success, can
benefit his ncighbors ten fold more
than by'showing the largest pump
kin in . season when all are large
nj The lessons to be learned by the
"a experience of such a season, i

DEAR NEWS: It has been with |
pleasure heretofore that we wrote |
you in regard to the development
and prosperity of our country.
But that we are in the dumps now
we shall not deny. We have had
but very little rain since the 18th
of June. Although it has been
dry since then should have had
enough corn had it not been for
the chinch bugs and the grass
hoppers. The drouth was bad,
the bugs worse and the hoppers
worst. 1 don't think this part of
the county will make its seed in
corn.
Many were making strong eff
forts to put in all the fall wheat
possible, but now none know what
to do. Although the pests have
now left, in one day they may re.
turn and sweep the young wheat
as they did the corn.
We want the advise of those whe
have been here longer than we have
and, that advise would like to have
soon.
Il When L wrote you last 1 said
. would give you the report of thu
wheat crops threshed here. AS

WAR W1rH ,ruE nsAcp,


The country was somewhat SUI
prised last Thursday night when |
the Commonwealth arrived with
the intelligence that the Osages,
whose reservation adjoins Kansas
On the south, had held a council
and declared war on the whites.
The Osages have generally been
quite friendly with the whites.
The reason, as given by them, for
this step, is the killing of five of
their number by party of militia
from Medicine Lode some DAYS
ago. Efforts were immediately
made by the agents to change
their determination, with what
success we have not since learned.
The struggle with these Indians
would probably be brief, as they
are both weak in numbers and
great towards. The militia. as
We see by letter from Capt. G..
Fl. Norton, is anxious to get at
them. On receipt of the news
Governor Osborn promptly sent
word to the Militia to be ready
