THE task of prosecuting his political

seriously on Attorney General Brewster,
as he looks pale and haggard. Notwith-
standing he is sworn to prosecute the
star route thieves, he evidently will be
glad to see his friends find, or make a
loophole of escape. In the apparent
zeal of prosecution, is it too much to ex-
pect that the government may adroitly
afford safe way of retreat for the cul-
prits while seemingly convulsed with

PHILLIPS couNrY

Phillips county, Kansas, is bounded on
the north by the State of Nebraska, and
on the east by Smith county, on the
west by Norton county. 1t is thirty
miles square and contains nine hundred
square miles. The north fork OF the
Solomon river runs entirely through the
southern part Of the county. Besides
this stream, the Prairie Dog, Cedar,
Deer, Plumb, Bissell, Plotper, Wolf
and Walnut creeks run through the
eouRty, and makes it one of the best
Hat;red counties IN the state These
streams are all fringed with cottonwood,
ash, elm. box elder, black walnut, black
berry, and many other kinds of timber,
and are situated in the center of rich
valleys Of bottom lands, which afford
pasturage for stock that is unsurpassed.
The nplandE consist of gently undulating
