newspaper men in the state. At one time,
in the history of Kansas, Prouty, Sam
Wood, Jake Stotler and the writer, edited
and published the only four newspapers IN
southwest Kansas, in respectively Morris,
Lyon, Coffee and Usage counties. That WAS
n time when patents and plase-master were
undreAmed Of, and when all the country
south and west of Emporia and Council
Grove and all beyond was silent, illimit-
able waste of grass. But the southwest
Kansas of the then, Is practically the north
east Kansas Of to-day. Sam Wood, .
member Of the quartette, went marching
down the streets of Wichita Yesterday, in
the ranks of the blue, hailing our Office Is

old combination of newspapers, and he is
still inclined to elevate his heels on the
slightest provocation. Stotler. Prouty and
the writer are still with the old party, but
Sam has long since Topped over to the De
mocracy, where all kickers go. Sam Was
Afterwards brigsdier commander and forced
US to detail twenty-five men for hundred
days service against the Indians on the
plains. Prouty was also afterwards con-
stituent of ours, and We hsd the pleasure Of
seconding his nomination as our first state
printer. And all this We write becsuser emin-
iscences seem to be the order of the day
with our three thousand gallant guests.
