The worst disgusted thing W know
Of in these parts is the Kansas drouth
Every few days it plucks up courage
and begins to think it is going to have
everything its own way, when along
comes q soaking rain and knocks it out
in one round. The drouth is about tine
only thing that does not flourish in
Kansas this year.
Those who met Mr.. E. n. Smith, o.
ElDorado, when he was here the first
of the week and who heard his happy
little speech at the republican conven-
ton, would certainly not be disarpoint-
ed if he should receive the nominatio q
for AttorneyGe at the State Con-
vention next week. He ia pleasant
gentleman.a fluent speaker and good
lawyer.
AS we write this we are feastiug on
Wild Goose plums handed Us by Capt.
r. 8. Moore as samples Of the fruit in
his orchard. They are nearly as large
as peaches, of rich color and delicious
taste-altogether the finest we have
seen. Capt. Moore says he has pick
ell three or foa- bushels from his trees,
and yet can hardly see that any have
been taken, so heavily are the trees
laden.
The Stevens Dental Co., of Ft.Scott,
Kansas, ia doing lots of work. They
have lately added a new vaporometer
to their already very complete outfit.
1t takes three men to do the work while
less than year ago DR.. Stevens did all
the work himself. II you want teeth
drawn without pain to you, this is the
place to go. They make specialties OF
preserving the natural teeth and ex-
tracing without pain. Prices reason
able and all work guaranteed as repre-
scented.
Appropos of gardening in Kansas
the Arkansas City Traveller says
Mr.. Mcmillan, the gardner, tells US
he has thirty-eight acres planted in
vegetables. Yesterday he sold 1855
pounds of cabbage to w. L. Fuller, at
SO per ton, netting him something
over 500. The cabbage was raised off
two and half acres, and the above Or
der is only about half of the crop. He
also sold AIS pounds of potatoes to
Mr.. Fuller at so cents per pushed, Ia
ken from four acres, and he still has
one-fourth of the crop remaining. Mr..
Fuller shipped his purchases to Colora.

We understand that the personal
choice of the delegates to the State
Convention for Secretary Of State, is
Noble Prentis. This being true they
will doubtless use their influence to
have him nominated and in so doing
we are quite sure they will carry
out the wishes of nearly every repub-
lican in the county. Noble Prentis is
man that Kansas should be proud to
honor, and we hope Allen county will
stay with him "as long as there is q
button on his coat"
1t would be a good thing if all our
ball games could be played with home
players. But since there is no pretense
any more that this is the case, we re.
rejoice that Ioia's latest importations
have been able to wax it to the other
fellows. Humboldt's nine had six
paid players in the game here Tues
day, and yet our boys "done 'em" to
the tune of nine to nothing. The
game with Yates Center at one O'Clock
this afternoon will probably be little
closer, as the Yates Center boys play
ball. At any rate it will be worth see.

We published last week q statement
based upon press dispatches from To
peka that the large number of Allen
county land cases which had been adj
yanced on the bar docket of the Su-
preme court had been again continued
to await the decision of the U. 8. Cir
cult Court in the even section case.
1t appears that this is mistake, as NO
decision on the matter has yet been
reached. The settlers by Messrs. Foust
and Moberg appeared and made a mo-
ton for such q continuance, which was
resisted by Benton & Scott and Mr..
Keplinger who also asked for affirm =
ance of hejudgment. Benton & Scott
have this week received aletter from the
clerk of the Supreme Court saying that
the mater has not yet been passed up
on.

The many old friends of Rev. John
H. Price will be pleased to read the
following notice of one of his sermons,
taken from the Paola Times
Rev. John H. Prices sermon on the
theme "The power Of the press" de-
livered at the NJ. E. Church Sunday
evening, was one of the ablest produce
tions ever listened to by an intelligent
audience. In another column we pub
lish a synopsis of the sermon and We
can truly say we endorse every senti-
ment therein stated and join with Mr..
Price most heartily in saying public
opinion should be moulded and FASH
toned by those who hold the response
BILE position of editor. The sermon was
we'll delivered and contained such a
character of thought that serves to in
struct every nearer. Give US more
such men as Mr.. Price and more Of the
nature of editors of whom he speaks
