The subject of this notice was one of
the most active men in political lite in
the present half century. He was born
at Preceding Hills parish, West Spring
field, Mass, on tho 9th day Of October,
1900, and was therefore in the seventy
eighth year of his age. His father,
James Wade, was a soldier in the war
OF the revolution. His mother Was the
daughter of Presbyterian clergyman,
and woman of great force of character
and strength of mind. In 1918 Ben
iamin Wade concluded that the East
was poor place for young man and
determined to seek his fortune in the
West. After revolving the proposition
in his mind tor two years, no fixed upon
Chicago, then small village, AS the
place for his future residence. With
seven dollars in his pocket, pack upon
his back, in which were his clothes, and
stout stick, young Wade set out on
foot to walk from Massachusetts to
Illinois by way of New York. During
the year 1921 and 1922, young Wade
chopped wood, rolled logs and grubbed
in the summer time, teaching school in
winter. In the fall OF 1928 q drover
employed him to assist in driving cattle,
and Wade led steer in front of the
herd all the way from Ohio to New
York. Wade walked six times from
Ohio to New York while in this bust.
ness. In 1925, Mr.. Wade, having cross
ed the mountains with drove of cat
tie in the fall, stopped near Albany, n.
Y, and taught school that winter. In
the spring he hired as laborer on the
Erie canal, and worked with wheel
barrow and spade all that summer. On
returning to Ohio in the fall, he resum-
ed school teaching, and in the spring of
1926 began studying law. This was the
stepping-stone to his political career,
and he rose rapidly to distinction. He
was highly popular with his constituents,
and Familiarity known as "Bluff Ben
Wade" The Bible was his favorite
book, and he used to 60 to sleep porting
over the Sacred Scriptures /; but he was
one of the hardest swearers in the
Buckeye State. He was United States
senator from Ohio for eighteen years,
four years State senator, and several
years State judge. He was president
of the United States Senate pending the
impeachment trial of Andrew johnson,
and had the latter been impeached,
Wade would have succeeded to the
presidency. Ex-Vice President Colfax
was sOn-in-law of Wade.

The old frigate Constitution, loaded
with exhibits for the Paris Exposition,
sailed from Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Among the last exhibits placed on board
was piece of coal weighing eight tons.
The vessel has been rebuilt several
times since her service to the govern.

that remains of the original craft that
struck the Guerrero between wind and
water is q piece of wood about foot
square IN her hull, left there to preserve
her originality.

ShifflesS Farmers.

The farmers of Kansas are as parsi-
monious In building barns and grain
cribs a. they are extravagsnt in pur-
chasing agricultural implements. One
great need of our State is barns and
cribs. Thousands of farmers are COM
PEELED to sell their grain as soon as it
is harvested, because they have no place
to store it; and as prices are usually
lowest right after harvest, they thus
lose largo aggregate every year.
They have no commodious barns for
sheltering their cattle and horses, for
storing their hay, and for keeping their
wagons and farm machinery under
roof. Consequently their stock suffers
from weather, their hay is injured and
damaged by wet, their wagons and ma
chinery are ruined by sun, rain, and
snows.f
Travelling over the State, We occa-
sionslIy see an old-fashioned Pennsyl-
yanis barn-the best barns that were
ever built. They are always built
against hill side, so that they have q
lower floor even with the ground on one
side, and an upper floor also even with
the ground on the other side. The sta
bles are IN the lower story, and they are
commodious enough to shelter all the
stock of . good-sized farm. The barn
properly is in the. second story with a
wide, open space in tho center for shell
tering wagons and farm machinery,
and bins for grain, and mows for hay,
and fodder on each side.
They are just such barns rs we need
in kansas-roomy, convenient, COM
Portable. Many of our farmers, espe-
cially those in the older counties, arc
able to build such barns, and it would
paw them to do it. Many others might
have been bile to build such barns if
they had not bought so many agricul-
tural implements, and left them to the
mercy of wind, rain, and sunshine, in
the fields.
There is . fair prospect of good crops
and good prices. We hope they will
inaucurate new era in their farming
operations, and DEVOTE more attention
to the building Of barns, stables, and
grain cribs. Whenever Pennsylvania
barns are seen all over our prairies, We
shall not fear insect pests, or any other
disaster, for our farmers will always
have enough in store to tide bad
year.-Exchapge.

1t is believed by men of judgment in
Washington that there will be no more
silver legislation this session OF Con-
gress. Ewing. Bland, Butler, and 9th
ers will attempt to secure the passage of
an amendment providing free coinage,
and will undoubtedly try to attach it to
an appropriation bill, but majority
of the silver men feel that they
would like to give this bill trial before
they begin to amend it.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL LAND Diff.
ClTITX.

E. P. Bancroft, OF Emporia, who for
eight years up to last summer was agent
or selling tho lands belonging to the
Normal school, has turned out to be
defaulter to the amount of from eight
to ten thousand dollars. He sold
the land, it seems, and received the
money without making any record of
it, and has even been receiving money
from some of the purchasers since be
was removed from the position of agent.
He was arrested at Emporia, last Mon
day, upon the affidavit of Regent
Crichton. Mr.. Crichton, accompanied
by Secretary Cavanaugb, was at this
place few days ago investigating some
of Bancroft's transactions. There's are IL
sections of Normal school land in this
county, on the Saline river, and some
of the settlers have derived their title
through this man. They will suffer
from his transactions. We believe the
Secretary of State, Mr.. Cavanaugh. was
about the first party to discover Mr..
Bsncroft's shortcomings.

THE GRANGER RAILROAD.

EDITORS CHRONICLES: The Leaf
goes for the Granger r. r. with a
recklessness that is not character
istic. | know that Ingram has a
bitter antipathy for the word wagon /;
that his steady nerves would never
tremble should we use any other
word than that, but l supposed it
was iron wagon that was SO OffenS-
i've until now. The Granger r. r.
IS fixed fact, and, with a continu-
alton of patronage such as we. have
received to the present time, will
be an organized line when the
CHRONICLE is as large as it ought to
be and GAINESVILLE something less
than New York. We have trans
ported from Hopkinsvflle this week
81 hhds. of tobacco; to Hopkinsville,
3 hhds. of tobacco and 40 wagon
loads of merchandise, with enough
work in sight to run train of 30
wagons for two weeks. We are
paying to the laboring class in and
around GAINESVILLE $500 per week,
and when we get in full blast will
pay out 81, 900 per week. Does the
Leaf object to this? If SO, l must
confess that the great fire, or some
thing else, has changed it much
from what it used to be. The Leaf
is of the opinion that the Granger
R. r. cannot be changed to Guthrie,
because it would be ''fruitless in
effect" Now, my clear Leaf, you
were never more mistaken in your
life, for pledge you the word of the
