| Prentis, in the peroration of the an
nual address delivered by him at the
meeting of the state editorial association
at Winfield, pays the following eloquent
| tribute TO the newspaper man:
In Kansas, the newspaper man is7the
first and bravest of pioneers. IhaYe
| seen him in his cottonwood Office, the
smoke of the last locomotive fifty or
hundred miles behind him; before him
the vast, weird wilderness, knowing no
shadow save that of the passing cloud :
no sound save the low thunder of the
moving buffalo, the light football of tue
antelope, The whirring of the wild BIRDS
wing, the VOLTS sharp, hungry cry. i
have seen him in that rude shenty, the
wind screaming at HIM through tue
countless crevices, and covering with
dust the three or four pair of cases.
and the we'll worn hand press, and the
little imposing stone, which made up
the office, while in one corner of the
roOm around the broken stove lived the.
family. / have seen him amid such sur
roundings, without society, without ex-
changes, IN the midst of q scattering
population IN dug outs, working away
cheerful and resolute; his own editor,
composItOr and pressman setting up in
his long primer the first lines of the
first page OF the story of empire. Heav-
en- bless thee humble, toiliDg unsung
and unrewarded heroi for thou dost
show forth in thy daily life the mosso of
thy state--toiling through difficulties"
that Kansas may climb "unto the stars "a
In one field we are supreme The
world cannot do without us in the up
building of the community in which we
live. A town can no more grow with
out newspapers. than it can grow with
out lumber or bricks, or mortar If we
did not free Kansas, we have made her
what she is. This is no mere idle boast.
No state has ever owed SO much to her
newspapers. We have fought for her
we have praised her soil, her climate,
her people; her almost everything. We
have concealed or absolutely denied her
defects. We have resented as if it were
personal insult, every word against her.
We may not count much in the world al
large, but we have been blessing and
power here.
Let us, then, estimate ourselves and
our work al just standard. Let US
discard empty phrases and professions,
which we do not believe ourselves.
Let US work faithfully in the field as
signed US. Fame and wealth most of
US cannot even hope for. Nevertheless,
Though we cannot govern the world we
may help 1t; though we did not bring
liberty into the world, we may cherish
it. We are no Drawer, or better, or wiser
than other men, but we may yet main
tain our integrity and do our work
without boasting and without pretense.
And Kansas, oh Kansas fair land of
our labor and our dreams; she demands,
and will reward. all we can do for her.
1t is but the beginning here. Lol it is
dawn; and, stretching to the horizons
verge the waving, dappled, golden har-
vest shines.

Trouble at Dodge CIV.

KANSAS CITY, May 9.-The following
dispatch was received from Dodge City,
Kansas. in defense to an inquiry regard
ing the lawlessness existing there; The
trouble originated in our city over the
late election. W. H. Harris was a can
didate tor mayor. Deger defeated him.
Immediately after the election women
employed by Harris and Short as wait
ers were arrested, while the dance hall
was allowed to run. This caused i'll
feeling, and the arrest of the girls en-
ployed caused a shooting between
Short and Squire Hartman. Neither
was hurt. Luke Short gave $4,000 bond.
lie and seven Others were by the auth
critics ordered out of the city. One of
them named Lane came back to get
North Adams, of Larned, as counsel.
They were met at the train by an extra
police force and were compelled to go
west, and it is understood that the end
is not yet. and the consequence of ex-
polling these men may be serious.
Short has borne an orderly reputation
and his friends are indignant at the ac-
ton of the a1thorities The railroad
men turned out en- masse TO prevent
Lanes stopping of.
ioY. Click has been applied to and he
has telegraphed for information. Par
ties and affidavits have gone to Topeka.
ANOTHER VERSION.
1t is difficult to obtain reliable ilfor-
nation in regard to the disturbances at
Dodge City. A private dispatch receiv-
ed here tonight Says that the laWiess
element had become so obnoxious in
town that the authorities determined TO
drive them out. Twenty-Five policemen
were sworn In about ten days ago and
have been working to rid the town of
gamblers and prostitutes. A number of
them were put on train and cautiohed
against coming back. The toaEha ap-
pear to be in the minority, and those
who yet remain appear less noisy under
this salutzry treatment. There has been
no blood shed, and the only coercion,
ticed, WAS IN putting the toughs on the
train The above statement is believed
TO be pretty accurate, still there seems
to have been some fa9tioEaf trouble
growing Cot of the recent election which
may haye had some connection with the
origin of the trouble. While il Is stated
that there have been no threats made
against newspaper correspondent yet
they seem to have some fear of the con.
sequences, and thus far no specials have
been sent out The dispatches quoted
say there Is no danger to life or proper
ty, and that the whole affair. amounts TO
nothing more than deterEaination of
the lawful citiSeas Ia establish order.
