Thomas Henley, residing five miles
southeast of town, was struck BY
lightning and instantly killed last
Tuesday while stacking hay near his
house. The bolt came down out of Q
bright cloud. there being no rain al
the time. The current struck the
pitchfork, glancing off into the head Of
the deceased, fracturing his skull and
burning off his entire clothing. Mr..
Henley was a middle aged man with a
family; and an industrious and re-
spected citizen, and his death will be
mourned by large circle of friends =

The Tramps versus the Farmers.

Here are two associate press tele-
graphic dispatches which show the
drift of things:
Des Moines, July 25.-The farmers
in this region complain of the scarcity
of harvest hands, and wheat is suffer
ing for want of cutting, while the
towns are full Of tramps and loafers
who refuse to work for $3.50 per day,
and are bowling hard times and more
greenbacks.
st. Paul, July ga report is re-
ceived here tonight that farmer near
Fairbault shot and instantly killed two
tramps whom he caught in the act of
setting fire to a harvesting machine
in his wheatfield. He gave himself up
but was released.

Tom Ryan.

We have watched the campaign, with
tolerable care, SO far, and have not
heard single good reason urged why
our Congressman, Hon. Thomas Ryan,
should not be returned for a second
term His opponent is a good man,
but holds the position of judge which
he should retain. He is young man,
and there is plenty of time for him.
We believe the practice of changing
Congressman every term is greatly in
furious to the district. especially when
the incumbent does his duty, and
therefore we think that Mr.. Ryan, in
all fairness and justice, is entitled to
the support of this county in the COM
ing Congressional Convention.-Em-

As TO q Certain Agreement.

jeff Davis said. the other day "You
agreed to return to the United States
and abide by the Constitution and the
laws made in conformity with it.
Thus far, aud no further, do | under
stand your promise to extend" They
agreed to return for the same reason
the old woman did, according to the
statement of her beartlcss husband.
"She was ableeged to-" According to
our recollection they did not figure
prominently in any negotiations. Even
Mr.. Davis surrendered without reduc-
ing the conditions to writing Gin

Specie By Mail.

The announcement is made by the
Treasury Department, and now being
considered by Postmaster-General
Key, that it is the intention to trans
port the gold and silver coin of the
government through the mails as third
class matter. If carried into effect it
would tend to reduce very materially
the receipts of the several express
companies who are now performing
This service.

that Tom Ryan ignored the desires Of

Hon. Thomas Ryan, member of Con-
gress, paid Butler county visit last
Friday and Saturday. His reception
by our citizens was very cordial and
the assurance of support that he re-
ceived sufficient to convince him that
this county was satisfied with the
work he had already done, and was
willing to give him another term. 1t
is very probable that matters win have
taken shape before the Congressional
Convention meets that other candi-
dates will have retired and Mr.. Ryan
be nominated by acclamation.-Eldo-

Toucny.

Our friend, the editor of the Newton
EaasGn, is little touchy, it seems,
with reference to the ''small pox''
stories told about Wichita. All We
have to say is: Friend Ashbaugh is a
little too hasty in his derunciations.
We admit that we are not in the habit
ofresorting to that kind of Journalism,
but that statements derogatory to
Wichita were made often, and warn
ing given to innocent travellers to
steer clear of US, is fact, nevertheless,
susceptible of proof by parties who
cannot be impeached.

The Democrats engaged Potter's
field to bury Republicans, but they
have not thus far been able to knock
the wind out of anybody but Demo.
Gratis, Potter ought to catch few
Republicans just to make his graveyard

cupied by Democrats, Gabriel will
never hunt for it. "a horn" would

Hon. Thcmns RYAN.

Wednesday the quiet, unassumino
member from the Third Congressional
District paid our city brief visit and
received warm welcome from many
of our business men during his short
stay here Probably no new member
ever won his way SO rapidly to the
front in Democratic House of Repre-
sentatives as this gentleman. whose
good judgment and perseverance have
won encomiums from his constituents
on all sides. During his short term
in Congress not less than TWENTY-FIVE
new mail routes have been established
by his efforts, and Topeka has reason
to thank him for $4,000 for govern
ment buildings, while the great Ar
kansas Valley has received an appro-
priation for survey of the Arkansas
river for purposes Of navigation. We
have never had member more useful
to his constituents during his first
term, and if meritorious services enti-
tie man to anything he will be nom-
mated on the first ballot at Wichita.
This large Congressional District can
not afford to repeat the lesson of two
years ago by turning out a faithful
member on two years trial unless
they want to completely destroy the
influence of Congressman OF his
opponent we have nothing to say ex-
cept he holds snug position OH the
bench, and should have the good sense
to remain there during the period he
was elected for.-Burtington Patriot.
