MORE than twenty counties in Kan.
sas have each this year raised larger
corn crop than all the New England
States combined.
EVEN in Kansas there occur such
southern outrages" us the excluding
Of colored children from schools at
tended by white children. Strange,
isn't it.
DON'T believe half the cOck-and-bull
stories the republican speakers tell you.
They will try to ''hoodo' the people
with the great noise they make with
their hired singers.
THERE is no uncertain quantity or

rain which has swept her lands from
the Missouri river to the Colorado
plains.

and trusted and found faithful and
true.
Nor a line appeared in the Register
last week in defense of German

Jay Gould, and the whole dirty scheme
was concOcted and carried out by the
republican wirepullers.
THREE hundred and fourteen thOus-
and pounds of sugar have thus far
been branded by State Sugar Inspector
kelog. OF this amount the factory of
Fort Scott manufactures nearly one
half and as this is the only factory
which has really gotten down to busi-

of whether sugar making in Kansas
will be success.

drove "a miles just to see the city of
Great Bend last Saturday, all arrived
home safe; but with the avOwed inten.
