A new game of horse thief has been
invented at Ottawa. The parties
working the racket are partners and
engaged in the horse business, and the
other day met a farmer from the country
and asked him 60 trade horses. After
some conversation one of the traders
got on the farmers horse to try it and
rode it away and failed to return. The
game is being played quite extensively
in eastern Kansas.

Edison claims to have invented an
apparatus which, stretched along the top
of railroad car, will enable an opera
tor in the car to receive and send mes
sages by induction through the regular
telegraphic wire through the track. In
case Of more than one wire along the
track, the question is for the induction
to come from and go to the direct wire
The idea seems like an infringement of
the Phelps induction process for sele-
graphic communication with running
trains.

The editor of the Caldwell Journal
was in Dodge City some days ago.
He says:
We had occasion to visit Dodge City
last week, and upon arriving there was
no little surprised to see half a dozen
fine saloons with their front, side and
back doors wide open to the public, and
the ardent being dished up over the
counter in the most approved fash:
ion.
We, in our coniding innocence be-
lievcd that prohibition prohibited ii;
one part OF Kansas as well as in another
We had been told SO by men in whom
we had every confidence as to their
truthfulness. The leading moral and
religious papers Of the state had told US
so, and Of course we believed them, but
all this fond delusion has vanished, in
the light of those handsome chandeliers
whose refulgent rays we're thrown
across the startled vision BY the rich
mirrors on the visable sideboards, as we
stepped of the cars in that city We'd
nesday morning of last week.
We don't believe prohibition pro
hibits to such an alarming extent as we
did before We took in those half dozen
places of sin in that beniehted city.
While there We Of course called
upon Judge Frost, Of the Globe live
Stock Journal, Klaine of the TINES
and post Office, and Prouty Of the
Cowboy. We found them ali happy
and expectant. Frost expected his
railroad scheme to be grand success.
klain expected to get back the $500
some burglars had relieved him Of, and
Prouty expected the cow trade, settlers
trade and all other trades OF that new
country to make his town the best
one west Of Newton, and him rich
man.
The business men complain d little
of hard times and the Kansas quaran-
tine law, but hope for a boom before
the summer is over.
Two horse herds and one Panhandle
cow herd had reached that market up
to June 4th.
From Newton west ten miles the
crops prospect are good. From that
point to Hutchinson there has been so
much rain this spring that the crop
locks very bad, not being over two to
four inches high. The only good field
of wheat between Newton and Dodge
City along the railroad is near Great
Bend. There Is no place on the line

we'll satisfied with the outlook in Sum |

The late rains make cheering crop
prospects The Emporia Republican
says:
Our travelling agent, R. B. Evans. is
just in from trip through the western
part OF the state. From a careful in
vestigation made by him We are satisi-
ed that reports heretofore published
with ragard to the wheat and other
crops have been misleading in their ten
or and that even the wheat crop will
far exceed the estimates recently made.
All the early sown wheat may be relied
on for an average yield. It is the late
sown fields that have turned out badly.
and it is undoubtedly from this source
that most Of the unfarorable estimates
were made up regarding the crop in
Kansas. Late favorable weather has
done very much to improve many fields
of wheat that sometime ago were
thought to be almost worthless. The
corn crop so far is doing splendidly.
3 to all ether crops there has been lit
tie or no complaint. After all that has
been said, and the gloomy foreboldings
OF many, the outlook for Kansas far
mers is good.

OF the Meade county organization
thb Topeka Commonwealth says:

shb Topeka Commonwealth says:
The Acknowledgement was in consul
tation yesterday with parties from Meade
county relative to a memorial presented
to the Executive Department from the
above county, asking for its organiza
tion and the appointment Of census
taker. 1t seems that there are some
little differences existing in Meade
county as TO which city shall be declar-
ed the temporary county seat, and who
shall be appointed census taker. The
law requires that a petition signed by
$50 citizens, who have resided in the
state one year and in the county thirty
days, asking for the organization of the
county and the appointment Of a census
taker shall be presented before the same
can be granted Now, one party in
Meade county claims that such petit
ton containing $50 legal signatures was
never presented, and the other party
claims the opposite. This was the
point of difference on which the Attor-
ney-General's opinion was asked, and it
was that the various contesting parties
return to their homes, arrange petit
ton satisfactory to ALL That they all
agree as to which town shall be declar-
ed the temporary county scat, and as to
who shall be appointed census taker,
then the Governor could act On the
matter and with satisfaction to all

Wednesday forenoon, a sad, sorrowful and
solitary culprit was arraigned before the
majesty of the law in Judge Weeks court
who pleaded guilty in trembling voice to
the charge of drunk and disorderly. The
youth gave his name a Jas. Casey. lie had
no parents, relatives or friends, and said
that his pocket was empty. 4 fine of SO
and costs was set opposite his name on the
docket When asked if he was willing 10
work for the city he replied that he would
work like a Trojan until he paid his fine.
and that he was very glad to get work "a.
that was what he was looking for. The COM
planning witness was J. W. Ebersol, who
said that the prisoner at the bar attempted
twice to force himself into his residence on
Tuesday evening. MIR Casey said he was so
drunk he did not know what he was doing
and that he was sorry for bis conduct He
is now engaged on the stone pile at the
bridge.

In reference to an article which appeared
in this paper last Saturday, W. II. Tydeman,
of Prairie Centre, writes that there was
nothing to lie said against the character Of
his wife She simply refused living in the
North and insists on living in Texas with
her people, whittier she has gone. This cor
recton is made in justice to Mr.. Tydeman
the facts as gathered in the prior statement
being from what was considered n
reliable source, otherwise no attention would
have been given them.

A special session of the council was held
Monday night to devise means to carry on
the work on the approaches to the new
bridge. At a former meeting bonds to the
amount of So, 900 were ordered issued to de
fray this expense, but the mayor was given
to understand that the issue was illegal on
account of raising the tax beyond the five
mill limit and on Friday Of last week he
stopped which was accordingly done Satur-
day evening. Mayor Allen stated in Ian
guage most emphatic that unless the council
should have the means ofpaying the laborers
he would oppose as far as in his power any
work on the approaches. Aid. Hull, the
chairman of the bridge committee, spoke on
the subject and after the interchange of some
sharp tits between himself and the mayor,
he desired the council to excuse his commit
tee from further labor on the bridge, and so
moved, but the motion did not prevail.
Chairman Hull stated that upwards of 81 200
had been so far expended in labor and ma
terial, most of which would be n total loss to
the city, should the work be abandoned un
til next year. After n great deal of discus
sion concerning the vexed "question," it
was finally decided that the finance commit
tee be empowered to levy tax warrants to
the amount of $4,000, $1,000 of this sum to
be paid Mr.. Barber, the bridge builder, for
extra work, and the whole thing was reason
ably settled and the council ordered the
work to 90 on, though the mayor said that
if the money was not soon forthcoming he
would again order the work stopped One
of the sensible moves made by the council
was that it did not permit Chairman Hull.
of the bridge committee, to resign. 1t is
very doubtful if the council could find any
one of its members capable of filling his
place--one at least who could take the inter
est in the work that Mr.. Hull has shown
1t would be, rs AID. Iioban said, "A disgrace
to the city to have the work stopped and it
is well that the work is to proceed. and that
