THE HAT oussIiOS.

Much controversy has been INDUCED
in over the question of what is the
democratic and what is the republican
hat. and, several inquiries have been
made at this Office as to the matter.
Jake Admire, in order to settle the
matter, appealed to Hon. p. /. Bone
brake. chairman of the state republi-
can Committee. Here is what he says:
TOPEKA, July 10, 1688.-Hon. j. ".
Admire, Usage City, Kas.-Dear Sir
In answer to your telephone message
in reference to republican hats, al
| low me to say, that the white or pearl
hat WAS first adopted by the Lincoln
/ club, OF Cincinnati, and has since been
recognized Is the republican hat, not
withdrawing the efforts of the demo
Gratis to steal it.
In Chicago, at the last convention
the Philadelphia club, very fine one
composed of business men, also the
Lincoln club of Cincinnati, and the
Chicago club, all wore these hats. The
republican hats had white band
while the democrats had adopted &
black band, or in some cases red band
in imitation of the bandanna.
Il While we were In Chicago, Mr.. Ken
dali inquired the price of hats, and a
the store of j. IL. Taylor s. Co.. in j
v. Farwell's building. found very goOC
campaign hats offered at 50 a dozen
These hats of course are only for cam
paign purposes, but they look very re
spectacle. You can of course get gOoi
hats all the way up from $36 to $46 pc
dozen.
Hoping this will he satisfactory, am
yours truly, p. l. BONEBRAKE.

Wreck on the Mexican National.

GALVESTON, July 21.-A special from
Laredo to the News says: Full particu-
lars of the wreck of the construction
train on the Mexican National railroad
beyond Saltillo have been received. 1t
seems that some malicious person
threw the switch near Buena Vista and
started fat car containing water
tank down the heavy grade toward Sal
tillo, which met the construction train
coming up the grade. The crew on the
construction train had just time to
Jump before the car containing the
water tank, which had attained a
frightful speed, struck the engine. The
locomotive was knocked all to pieces.
The railroad officials at Laredo state
that no one was hurt.

to Hutchinson, Kas. The party con-
sisted of J. J. l.. Odell, vice president

drick, county commissioner of Cook
county; j.. NJ. Lord, of the firm of
Lord s. Thomas, publishers; David

arrived at Hutchinson last evening and
will remain day or two in that city
making Investigations of the salt de-
posits and the advisability of making
investments, such as erecting packing
houses etc. L. Severy joined
the party Saturday evening at
Hutchinson and will leave for Colorado
Springs, ManitOu and Cascade. AT Cas-
cSde the party will be met with carria-
ges and driven to the top of Pixies Peak
over the wagon road, which is one of
the best constructed roads in the west,
and the only one on this continent by
which any one can ride in a carriage to
a height of over 1900 feet above the
sea level. From Cascade to the top of
Pixies Peak, the distance by this road
is fifteen miles and in this distance a
height of over 5000 feet is assembled.
AS Pixies Peak arises almost abruptly
out of the plains, grand view is
presented. Some of the members of
the party contemplate investing in
Cascade and will proceed to erect sum-
mer cottages in that health resort. The
party will pass through this city on
their return in about ten days.

y DEMOCRATIC exchange says: at
is true, and the fact is entirely credit
to him, that Mr.. Morton, . the republic
cab candidate for vice president, once
sent ship load of provisions To the
famine-stricken people of Ireland.
But it was not for this that the gentle
man was nominated. He was Sc
lected because he had contributed
800, 600 to the republican campaign
fund in 1884, because it was ex-
pected he would contribute at least an
equal amount this year, and also be-
cause the convention had faith in his
ability to get contributions from the
manufacturers and Wall street. y
This reminds us of the man, who,
when drowning, refused to be saved
from a watery grave because his
would-be rescuer was a negro.

The necessity of learning to swim
may be doubted. A man who has kept
a record of drowning accidents says
that much more than half the victims
are good swimmers.
Many Kansas exchanges have copied
the above or written it up in somewhat
similar fern. We shrewdly suspect,
however, that the rea. reason it is cop
led so freely and commented on SO ia
vorabiy, is because so few Kansas ed
itors are well enough acquainted with
water to know how to swim in it.

an ARMY OF RESCUE. ="

n rather peculiar organization has
sprung up in Kansas, and also in other
parts of the United States, which in
itself is good deal of a conspiracy,
in these days of conspiracies and plots.
One of the enlistment rolls which was
being ii, cIilated in Jewell county was
captured few days ago, and the Man
katO Monitor publishes it. 1t reads:
PLAN OF ORGANIZATION OF A NATIONAL
ARMY OF RESCUE.
We, citizens of the United States and
Kansas in particular, do hereby organ
iZe ourselves into an association to be
known as National Army of Res
cue, - the object whereof we declare to
be the liberation and restoration to
freedom of the three men now held in
confinement in the Illinois state peni-
Tertiary at Joliet, viz: Niebe, SEN
fenced to fourteen years, and Fielden
and Schwab, for life.
We declare that the Imprisonment of
these men Is unconstitutional, unjust
and tyrannical anG an outrage upon
the constitutional rights of every citi-
zen of the United States in the abridge-
ment of the rights of free speech and
expression of opinion.
We hereby organize ourselves into a
|
First Regiment of the Kansas Army of
Rescue"
We hereby pledge ourselves to drill
and uniform ourselves upon military
discipline and tactics as far as we can
conveniently, and invite our fellow
citizens who may be in sympathy with
our object to unite with us.
When. in case of such organization
numbering in membership from one
hundred thousand to five hundred thou
sand, it shall or may become the duty
of the leaders thereof, in obedience to
the sentiment of the organization, to
call for sufficient force of volunteers
to initiate a movement that by physical
force, if necessary, we may accomplish
the freedom and restoration to liberty
of these meu. (Signed)
