In A Dad Bog.

Caldwell, Ks, SO.-N o.hiug has been
done with Danford yet. The action of
the committee sent to Wa hita this
morning, is awaited, The indications
are tLat unless Danford shows up hard
money to satisfy his creditors, he will
care nothing for banks or bankers before
morning. Everything is quiet, but the
feeling is deep and the determination to
have the money or his life Is very strong.
There is crowd of armed men here
from Hannewell to tske Danford as soon
as the Caldwell folks get through with
him. BE is in bad box whichever way
be turns. Some of his instruments,
Tanner and Remsn, have given HIM
away. They we're invited to do SO last
night or take walk to the timber. They
then talked out. Don't think anything
will be done with then or Smith if Dan
ford is killed. but creditors may take 8
notion to wipe out the entire party.

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS


New York, 30.-The morning papers
have generally come to the conclusion
that the speakership question is narrowed
down to Hiscock and Kasson, with the
possibility Of the success of some dark
horse. Hiscock has decidedly the inside
track at present, many new arrivals of
congressman at Washington being unex-
pectedly in his favor.
Chicago, Inter Oceans Washing.
ton: A report has been in circulation to
the effect that Bedford, of Colorado,
would stand as q candidate Of the green
hackers and make an attempt to hold
the balance of power in the speakership
contest. Belford has arrived and pro-
nounces the story as absolutely without
foundation. He is announced by a
friend, who is a member Of the House
and processes to speak authoritatiVely, as
in favor of Keller, with leaning to Kas-
son. . A gentleman who gives the infer
nation had it in writing from him in
reply to letter asking his vote for him
self
Washington, l. - The Pennsylvania
delegation, tomorrow, decides on the
speakership question. II they decide for
Hiscock, and they probably will. it will
make the. fight east against west, and
the latter will probably concentrate on
Keller or Kasson, and win. Those gen.
tlemen are trying hard to get the neces-
sary support for that emergency.
The President refuses 10 express an
opinion on the speakership. To gen
tleman who was trying to commitehim
into saying Hiscock was distastefM to
him, he said:"I want these discussions in
the republican party healed. There is
no sense in keeping up factionsl fights,
and I regret to see factional spirit OBJ
truding into the speakership race. Select
good man and elect him. I have
nothing to say about the candidates."

The Drought In Prince George
County. MARYLAND

A letter from T. b., Prince George
County, says:
The prevailing drought is without par
allel within the recollection of our Oldest
inhabitants. Our corn and tobacco crops,
which promised so well at the beginning OF
the season arc now hopeless failure. Many
fields of corn had to be cut to save the fod-
der, and tobacco, most OF which is small, is
drying up in the fleld-burning at the bot.
tom and drying ut the top, and, as singu-
lar feature, giving to the top of the plant
the appearance as if bitten by heavy frost
Our springs and streams are failing, so that
many of our farmers find difficulty in OBJ
tanning water for their stock. No fall0w-
ing has yet been possible for wheat seeding.
We are anxiously looking for the rain,
which may not do the summer crops any
good, but in many ways will be beneficial
and enable our farmers to prepare their
land for seeding
