AGRA ITEMS

On last Monday McClelland Bar
lup, Iaborer on the @. x. & n
dropped dead while at work on the
section between Kensington and
Agra. Cause of his death is suppos-
ed to be heart disease. He was an
unmarried man, aged . years, from
Ohio and was well respected Elder
Turner conducted the funeral.
Corn north of Agra looks well.
South a few miles it does not look so
good There viii be a half crop any
way We have heard that G.. w.
Rosser, a school teacher of this town
ship, is out for the nomination for
County Superintendent, before the
Republican County Convention, and
that Plum Township will support
him In the Convention.
Agra is holding her own in bust
ness way. Chas. Turner, Agra's live
real estate man, is doing all in his
power to boom the town. He has
large real-estate interests in and
around Agra, and never fails to make
satisfactory arrangements with par
ties desiring to locate with us.
Besides several we'll kept stores,
Agra has a splendid lumber yard,
conducted by Chas. Turner & Son.
Lumber is sold here at the lowest
prices, and the daily sales will com
pare favorably with much larger
towns.
Mr.. ellis, Of the firm of @. @.
Stone & Co., drives a successful bust
ness in a good location. His store
room is well ventilated, and as he
carries a complete stock of general
merchandise, sells cheap, is kind and
courteous to his customers, it is not
strange that he enjoys a good patron
age.
w. II. Spangenberg, who just re-
Gently moved into the building known
as Turner Hall, has put in a fine
stock of groceries in connection with
a splendid line Of drugs. Mr.. Span
genberg is a thorough business man
and a good citizen.
Mr. Marsh, Of the Commercial HO-
tel is doing a good business. He is
an experienced landlord, and knows
the wants of the travelling public.
SmedIey & Strain, hardware mer-
chants, carry a large stock of shelf
and heavy hardware. This firm was
among the first to locate at Agra.
Agra is located in Plum township,
the finest agricultural section in Phil
lips county, and is an important sta
ton of the @. K. & n. r. r Now is
the time to get a home cheap.

Republicans of Missouri have hope
of carrying the State in November.
There has been a great change in
sentiment in late years, largely
through investments of outside CAPT
tai and the Inauguration Of industrial
enterprises. Moreover, there has been
heavy immigration Of farmers from
the north and east. The democratic
majority over all for governor in 1884
was only AZ, with the democratic
candidate a popular one. A com
bination of opposing parties would
almost certainly carry the state
against the Cleveland ticket.-Gay-
lOrd Herald.

The only, and, in our opinion. the
most effectual way to crush out the
Infamous Trusts which so seriously
threaten the commercial life and in
dustrlal prosperity Of the country, is
for each State Legislature to make it

to organize and operate combines of
that kind We believe that the Kan
sas Legislature, at its next session.
upon the recommendation of Gov
Martin, viii do this or its equivalent.

The WHITE Girl Slaves.

Under the above heading the Chi
.cago Times continues to publish the
particulars of the investigation in the
fiendish system of slavery Of working
women in Chicago. Fat, slick, mil
lionaires, many of them pretending to
be pious, are guilty Of the most heart
less tyranny toward poor women and
girls Of tender years. One case came
to light last week: A poor widow
aged abolt 80, who worked for a
clock-making establishment could
not make enough to procure the most
common necessities of life. For near
ly a week she had not been seen.
Her neighbOrs finally went to her
lodgings and found her PROSTATE on
the floor a maniac-made insane by
starvation. Her little girl aged
about II was nearly starved also
though she had not gone so long with
out food as her mother. The poor
woman was taken to the asylum and
the child to the poor-house.
One working girl gave her ezper-
fence, she said:
Il have made ladies' underwear at
such rates that the combined efforts
Of my mother and myself working u
hours a day did not bring US in $3.50
per. week. I made linen busters in a
'EslOp-shOp" where I dared not raise
my eyes from my work for ten hours
for fear of losing time, and stagger-
ed home at night too dizzy to walk
straight, making but 81 in two weeks.
I saw a lady once faint away at her
machine one Saturday night when q
pile of linen busters which she must
alter were thrown back at her. When
some Of US questioned her she finally
owned she had not a cent for herself
and little son to live on over Sunday
and had been depending on the pay
for the linen work for food We did
not allow her to go empty handed,
but the prOprietOrs did not trouble
themselves
Things are steadily growing worse,
the prices are being cut down, the
regulations were becoming more Sc
we're, and harsh rules and fines
more and more common Indeed
I can see the signs any early morning
or evening, when the girls come to
and from their work They nearly
all used to dress quite respectfully.
Now their dresses are ragged and old
or made of cheap fneTy which is
sadder to see than worn articles Of
good material. They are Paler and
more rOund-shOuldered, and there
are more little girls among them who
look so old, so tired, so crushed 1t
makes ones heart ache to look at
them

What Whiskey VIII Do.

At Shenandoah Iowa. Aug. u.
Frank GallOp got drunk and com
menced beating his aged father. Cit
liens interfered when Gallon fired
into the crowd killing F. j. Pine in
stantly. He then ran into his house
and from the window shot and killed
b. o. Rice and Z. p. Winfrey and
WOunding Dave Campbell. The
crowd was afraid to go INTO the house
to arrest the desperate when Mooney
Fletcher got a rife and fred a shot
that killed him instantly. Four and
probably five deaths are the result of
GallOp's intOxicatiOn.

Hugh NJ. Brooks (alias Mazwell)
was executed on the scaffold in st.
Louis last Friday, for the murder Of
his chum and travelling companion,
@. A Preller, nearly four years ago.
They were both Englishmen travelling
in this country. Brooks claimed all
along and in his dying statement,
that he took Preller's life accidentally.
He said his friend was diseased, that
he gave him chloroform to reduce the
pain while he attempted a surgical
operation. The dose was too large
and caused his friends death. Think
ing that he would be punished he
concealed the body and fed. He was
ably defended but could not prove
his innocence.

The Inconsistent Action Of the
Union Labor Leaders.

The Inconsistent Action Of the
Union Labor Leaders.
The National Republican Platform
and the Republican State Platform
Of Kansas, declare IN favor of nearly
everything that the Union Labor
party demands and opposes all the
evils that party opposes, and yet the
leaders Of the Union Labor organiza-
ton seem determined to fight Re
publicans, and to fuse with the Dem
Ocratie party which does not agree
with scarcely a single doctrine of the
Laborites. Republican Congress
men have introduced bill after bill to
regulate railroad charges, to break up
trusts and combinations detrimental
to the country, to punish men for
watering stocks, to equalize the bur
dens among all classes, and yet the
Union Labor managers refuse to as
sist in this noble work, but year after
year, fuse with the democrats who
have done nothing and are trying to
do nothing to bring about the re-
forms needed The great masses of
republicans today endorse nearly all
the measures that the Laborites want,
and if they had power would proceed
to inaugurate the needed reforms,
but strange as it may seem, it is new
ertheless the fact, that the Bosses of
the Union Labor party seem happy
only when they are denOuncing Re
publicans and talking nice about
and fusing with the Democrats for
the offices. The Republicans have
not been in power for four years, land
yet our Union Labor orators devote
nine-tenths of their speeches in casti-
eating the party out Of power, in
stead of demanding of the party in
power that it proceed to do some
thing in the interest of the people.
Republicans and Union Labor peo-
pie are nearly together as to princi-
pies, while Democrats and LabOrites
are very far apart, and yet our y. L
leaders Persistently play the part OF
assistant Democrats and fuse each
year with party that does not en-
dOrse a single plank IN the Union
Labor platform. How inconsistent
The principles enunciated by the
Union Labor party are in the main
good; the fuslng, the swapping, the
barter and sale practices of the lead
ers Of that party, are reprehensible.

That Temperance Plank.

Last month Rev. A. II. Morrill,, of
Stanfordville, n. Y. wrote to Hon.
Albert Griffin, the President of the
Anti-Saloon Association, asking him
to give the history of the adoption of
the temperance plank by the late Re
publican convention. The following
is an extract from Mr.. Grifin's reply:
Nearly all of the delegates were
present when the BOutelle plank was
adopted, about 800 delegates rising
to their feet in the affirmative, and
only one in the negative. . =
The demand of the liquor men was
that nothing should appear in the
platform that even meant temperance,
and they were and are very bitter
over the final action of the cOnven-
ton The next day, one Of their lead
ing political representatives said to
me, 81 would rather have given S1O,-
600 than have had that resolution
pass" and I overheard another of
them in a heated discussion say, in
response to a statement that the
brewers had once adopted a resOlu-
ton that was as strong as the Repub-
ican plank, eyes I am aware of that
but everybody knew they were not
in earnest, while these d--n Repub-
hcans mean every word they have
said, and more" The language of
the resolution may not be offensive
to all saloon keepers but its idea and
aim is. The Illinois StUdtG ZejtlLlq,
the most influential German paper
in the interior, and which is edited
by Herman Raster, the author Of the
famous Raster resolution says:
''While the Republican National
Convention in the beginning kept
every declaration for temperance out
Of its platform it adopted Immediate
Iy before separating, on motion Of a
member from Maine, and almost I'm
anlmOusly, a resolution which pledges
the party to support all wise efforts
for furthering temperance. Every
child knows what such a declaration
from the mouth and interpreted by
the mouth Of the original prohibition
state Of Maine. The Republican
party, as such. stands now as the tenn
perance party"
I deeply regretted the action Of the
committee, and would have been glad
If more ringing resolution had been
finally adopted; but I am not dis
cOuraged, and see no reason for sup
porting the saloon party, even by in
direction. On the contrary, I rejoice
that the Republican party has at last
set its face against the saloon and
shall help it press forward It is no
small matter to have committed the
party everywhere against the whis-
key ring protection tax. and in favor
Of ''all wise and well directed efforts
for the promotion of temperance and
morality" and to have nominated
such a man as Gen. Harrison. After
this national endorsement of the re-
sistless trend Of Republican senti-
ment, there can be no doubt Of the
fact that substantially every man
who cares more for the liquor bust
ness than he does for Republican
principles will support the Demo
cratic ticket next fall; and this con-
centratiOn of the common enemy
should cause a corresponding union
Of the opponents of that business in
the ranks Of the only party that is
both able and willing to defeat it.
Respectfully,
ALBERT GRIFFIN.
