Old SOLDIERS KICK.

Fort Scott is in Bourbon county, Kan
sas, and Bourbon county has LOO re-
publican majority. Fort Scott is the
place where republican school board
ruled the negroes out of the public
schools, and required them to seek
knowledge in separate buildings from
those used by the white people. Now,
Fort Scott, with its large republican
majority, is having row with the re-
publican state administration, and with
its republican mayor. Two hundred
old soldiers met in the opera house on
the ID inst, and adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved. That we regret that the governor
of Kansas failed to appoint three ex-soldiers

Scott.

respectfully request that they recognize the

These were adopted unanimously

Prof. Blake predicts that this will be
n year of drouth, but that Kansas will
not be affected. On the subject he
says: "In all parts of Kansas and in
most of Missouri there has been album
dance of rain as predicted; but in other
western states the spring rains have
been local and in streaks. the total
amount being considerably below nor
NAL. But these local rams Iare now be-
coming less numerous and less extern
sive, and will continue to thus contract
till the most severe drouth known for
many years is in full force in nearly all
the states north of Kentucky except
Kansas and southwestern Missouri.
Even i'm Kansas our tables show that
the rainfall will be below normal part of
the time. though in most counties il
will.be sufficient to mature the corn, and
in all counties it will be sufficient fol-
wheat and oats. 1t will be- remembered
that last summer and fall we repeated.
" urged farmers to seed extensively
with winter wheat; also to SOW wheat
and oats extensively this spring. The
result is that Kansas now has the larg
est acreage of wheat and oats ever
known, and they are in the best condi'
ton ever known. Also. the chinch bugs
have been kept back by the frequent
April rains in Kansas, so that they can
not now hatch in time to damage small
grain. We do not injure people in Other
states by urging farmers to extraordi
nary efforts in those sections where oul
calculations show that the precipitation
will be sufficient; hence there is no rea
son why We should be blamed because

Secretary MOhler, of the state board
OF agriculture, has just issued an official
crop report, based upon advices received
from 500 correspondents, representing
lOS OF the LOG counties in the state. It
declares that there has not been time
In many years when the condition of
the grain crops, fruits, grasses, etc., has
been, at this date, so uniformly good
throughout every portion of the state as
now. The spring prospects in Kansas
are almost invariably encouraging, and
the danger that is to be apprehended
from drouth and insects comes later in
the season. The fair promise of June
has been too often blighted in Kansas
In July and August not to furnish JUS
tliicatiUn for the misgivings which the
husbandmen of the state feel until their
harvests are fully assured. But the
outlook in Kansas this season is more
than usually hopeful. During the
month OF April, rain fell in abundant
quantities all oyer the state, and this
not only stored the soil with moisture
but greatly lessened the chances of mis-
chief from chinch bugs. The cool, wet
spring has been exceedingly favorable
to the rapid growth of wheat, oats and
rye, and the condition of all these GER
eals, as compared with the general ay-
erage, is above 100 per cent.

Major John n. Edwards, one of the
best known newspaper men in Nilsson
RI, or i'll the west, died at Jefferson CITY.
Mo-, last Saturday. He was the author
of two war books, Shelby and his men, y
and Guerilla Warfare" He was at
one time editor of the old st. Louis
Times and Dispatch; afterward be-
came connected with the Kansas City
Times for short while. He then went
to Sedalia, and took charge of the Dem
ocrat for some years. From Sedalia he
went to st. Joseph, and took editorial
charge of the Gazette, where he remain
ed till January, 1887, when he again
went to Kansas City, and became con-
nected with the Times. Major Edwards
was not an ordinary man. His physi-
cal strength was slight, but he had a
large and active brain; a memory for
names, dates and faces that was sur
prising. A friendship was never be-
trayed or voluntarily broken by him.
The word friendship had deeper sig
nificance with him than with most men.
He often stood by his friends at the
expense of his own popularity. He was
always outspoken in his opinions, and
always brave enough to back them up
at the risk of his life, if necessary. In
1875 he fought duel with Maj. Emery
S. Foster, of st. Louis. The duel &C.
Cured at Rockford, ILL.,, and neither
party was hurt, on account of their anx-
ious desire to kill each other. Maj Ed
wards demanded that the fight should
proceed, but the seconds forbid. After
this he wrote many articles in favor of
dueling, taking the ground that it would
make men more careful with their pens
and tongues. 1t has always been I'M
derstood that he would not hesitate to
send or accept challenge, or to de-
nounce man who would not accept
one after giving cause for one being
sent. He was somewhat peculiar, both
in his talk and his writings. Those at
all familiar with his style could recog-
nize his writing at once, no matter
when or where it might appear. The
writer of this article worked in the of.
flee of the Lexington, Mo-, Expositor
Of which John N. Edwards was fore
man, when the war came on, and the
paper discontinued. Both enlisted il
the same company. and we have known
him well ever since. He married Mis-!
Virginia Plattenburg, of Dover, Mo.
one of the brightest and most winsomt
young ladies in that section, which il
noted for its female beauty and intel
lect. He leaves her widow with tWi
sons and daughter. They are MOI
alone in their sorrow. A thousand Of
those whom he befriended when they
were oppressed, Will drop silent tears
of sorrow over his Untimely fall. Tel
thousand more who have known hin
long and well, and who appreciate no
bility of character, will grieYe over thu
loss of true friend the press will re-
gret the loss Of one of its most brillian
contributors, and the whole state of Mis-
souri, will miss an active, progressive
