The campaign liar is at his work.
The latest is that, in Il public speech
delivered some years ago, General
Harrison is claimed tn have said that
One dollar day WAS enough for any
working man." This story has been
sent all over the country in one shape
ar another, and tens of thousands of
postal cards containing the story have
ben sent into Indiana. The friends
and supporters of General Harrison
state that it is an absolute falsehood,

MR.. b. G. KERENs, one of the strong
men in the New York delegation at
Chicago said recently:
OF course everybody is talking about
New York, but as far as New York is
concerned, can tell you one thing that
is not yet known to half dozen people,
for it has only just been learned, and
that is, Mr.. Blaine has consented to
stump New York from one end to the
other for Harrison, Don't you think
that is rather apt to bring out the Irish
vote about which some people have been
doing some foolish talking? Blaine
and Chauncey n. Depew will work to-
gether through the entire state.''

Some of the friends of Mr.. Cunning
ham are circulating the story among
the colored people OF the city that
Judge Graves instructed the sheriff
and county attorney to not place color
ed men on the jury. This story is cir
culated to deceive voters, as it is abso-
lutely false. Judge Graves was an
abolitionist, as was his father before
him. The Judge served four years in
the Union army and has always voted
the Republican ticket. He is not penu-
rious, selfish, narrow nor a man of such
strong preiudices as to prevent the ex-
ercise of fair and sound judgment
on the bench in any case that may
be tried before him. The stories
above referred to will fail to accom-
plish the purpose, as the colored peo-
pie are the hardest persons in the
world to deceive. Their eyes and ears
are open to catch facts that they may
vote consistently and right with ref
erence to both men and measures, and
they are quick to detect all attempts
of the adroit and scheming pOliti-
clan to draw them into q wrong posi-
ton. The Democratic party, espe-
cially in the northern states, has re-
peatedly tried the arts of the trickster
and the demagogue upon them. but
every time with the same result-a
signal failure. The attempt, there
fore, on the part of some of Mr.. Gun
ningham's friends to deceive the col
ored voter in this way is piece of pre-
sumption that shows the desperation
to which they are driven, and the
stories are unequivocally and posi-
lively proven false by the following
affidaVitS:

READING NEWS.

READING, Kans., July 3.-Another
splendid rain last night. Early corn
is tasseling out and the ears are shoot
ing. Heart. hear! Some corn fields
are again too wet to cultivate. Fortu-
nately, almost anybody is done cult
waiting. Potatoes are looking the best
for number of years.
Fremont Miller and Col. Flory have
been in town this week.
Reading is quiet politically, still we
hope Prof. A. A. Stevens may be the
nominee for county superintendent of
public instruction. He is fine young
man, successful teacher and a man
of good habits, with education and ex-
perience that amply qualities him for
the office.
Mrs. o. G. Cranston and daughter
have gone to Illinois on a visit.
j. Z. Fem is suffering with asthma.
w. NJ. Holiday was reelected as
clerk of our school board for another
three years. Reading schools are a
credit to our town and the school
board seem to plan wisely. The
grounds and buildings are all in ex-
cellent condition.
Most Of our people are planning to en-
joy the glorious old Fourth in some
way. There is a picnic at the stone
school house. 1t is really a picnic to
be here and see the waving fields of
grain and corn that are all about us
on every side.
READING, Kans., July 4.-The day
we celebrate" has been enjoyed by our
people here grandly. This morning
the boys appeared on our streets in
uniform and soon Captain King formed
the Song nf Uofnrano int I
Stanley Stratton as tenor drummer and
Walter Keller as bass. The boys
drilled well, and Capt. King deserves
great credit for the interest he has
taken in the formation of the company
and spending so much time as drill
master with them. In the afternoon
the company went to the aIcnic. The
citizens of Reading and Arvonia gath
cred at the picnic grove on thr farm of
L. j. Price, some three miles east of
Reading, and enjoyed real neighbor-
hood picnic; to the entire salts
faction of both the committee and
citizens, as everybody seemed happy
Hon. James CoWden drove a six horse
team into the grove with George Wash
ington and his cabinet of 1892 and
Thomas Jefferson read the s'immortal
document, preamble and constitution
of the United States. Next a team
with thirteen young ladies, represent
ing the original thirteen states, ali of
which made a fine appearance, to-
gether with the boys representing the
territories. The singing was good.
w. 0. Davis was president of the day.
The speakers were nearly all residents
of the great valley of the Marais des
CygneS River and added to the occa-
sion. 1t has been a day our children
will remember. and the parents felt it
good to be there. The citizens who
started it, and planned and carried out
the programme, are deserving of great
credit. Long may they live.

powder and young children fire
