COMPLIMENTS AND OTHER COMMENTS
rom Esteemed Exchanges
Concerning the Western
Kansas World"
HE STOOD BY WESTERN KANSAS.

The WA-KEENEY WORLD has broken
loose and is astonishing its old friends
by its increased dimensions and new cut
Of it's garments. It is now six column
q,larto, and has an engraved head (or two
of them with a changed name, the
WESTERN KANSAS WORLD. Mr.. Tilton,
It's publisher, lis live and talented jour-
naiist and keeps fully abreast with the
progress of the times. He has done good
work for his section of country, has stood
by it vigorously during both prosperous
and discouraging seasons, has always
manifested hopeful spirit and persist
emily maintained that there was a grand
future FOR western Kansas. He has fully
earned all of the success he has achieved.

HOPE FOR ITS LONG LIFE AND PROSPERITY.
The WA-KEENEY WORLD has been en-
Jarged to six column quarto, g pages
and has put Oh two big heads, just alike,
each having little animals crawling all
over it. We never thought the WORLD
could be convinced that it needed any
more head than what the editor wears,
but perhaps the pictures are only used to
make impressive the importance of the
corporal head. The name of the paper
has also been changed to WEsERN KAN
sAs WORLD. In his comments the editor
says that the change is mot because bus
mess policy or duty to our people requires
il, but to create a place where we can
be sure to find room to sink all the money
which we are able to save from other
sources" The WORLD is one of our most
valued exchanges, and we hope it may
live long and prosper, and that it may
yet over its morbid attachment to what it
calls ''Republicanism." Il KW7c1n Inde-

MAY THE WORLD CONTINUE To REvOLVE.
Hon. W. S. Tilton's paper, formerly
known as tie WA-KEENEY WORLD, but
now having the cognomen WESTERN KAN
sAs WORLD, came o:1t last week with a
double-header, having for its motto,
"StOck Farming the Basis of our Indus
tries" 1t is now six column quartO,
four pages being home print. Its head,
which occurs twice. is rather picturesque,
representing On one side the cowboy
branding his cattle, the shepherd yarding
his sheep, and on the other the farmer
harvesting, stacking and threshing his
grain, with farln-houses locatedin various
parts of the picture. It has also a center
picture, representing bulls and rams
head, an ear of corn and the small cereals.
Its heading is indicative of an agricul
tural stock journal, but its leading editor
ial says: at does not abjure Republican
ism nor tithing Ct it." Here's success,
Brother Tilton. May the WORLD con-
tinue to revolve.-- Ness City Nezos.
THE CORRAL OVER ON THE LEFT.
Tilton. editor of the old WA-KEENEY
WORLD, has transmogriied that paper
into very handsome SPACE quarto sheet,
six columns to the page, and put a new
head on it so that now it appears as the
WESTERN KANSAS WORLD. The heading
is an engraved affair, sort of combina
ton of agriculture, commerce, stock and
horticulture, portraying at glance the
bent of the paper, as Tilton is determined
to pay more attention to such subjects
than politics hereafter, although he does
not eschew politics by any means-he
couldn't if he should try. In the heading
of his paper we can distinctly see Tilton
himself, astride a broncho which Texas
steer has paralyzed with kick, and Tilt S
que is circling up toward heaven, or the
windmill in the distance, or the cabalistic
L on the right hip OF badly frightened
critter over north it is hard to discover
just which. while his Italian organist and
frisky monkey are amusing the critters in
the foreground. Perhaps we are off in
describing the corral over on the left, but
our intention is good nevertheless.-Be-
