he has the greatest admiration for
him, and feels that ''if his senatorial
ambition be atified"-that is, If he
downs Ingalls-"the people of Kansas

feeling quite well when he went about
pouring treacle like that on the Abilene
statesman.

A GREAT many newspapers looking
forward to squalls and brawls in Okla
homa, have sent war correspondents to
the front to take notes of what goes on.
We may expect some fiashy and blood

not. He is a poor war correspondent

of handful of nothing.

valuable according to the difficulties
surmounted in reaching them. If
there be any consolation in this for our
friends, the boomers, they are welcome

THE Arkansas City Traveller stops
the press long enough to assure its
readers that "a dog show ia always a
bowling success" AlIusion is had of
course to the ''yaller dog" which has

IT is noticed that several brethren
of the press still languishing in single

from the>fact that the Father of his

WE hear it noised around. and the
Topeka Democrat calls attention to
the fact, that the democrats of this

IT is rather strange comment on re-
publican institutions that the political
boss who has for several years ruled
