K.C. Star THE greatest sensation in
sporting circles this year was furnished
on the 18th, at Terre Haute, by the
performance of Axtell, the 3-year-old
stallion, who trotted a mile in 2:12,
thus lowering tbs record of all 3-year-
Odds, and of all stations of any age.
The horse was sold atterward for S1O5.-
600, the largest price ever paid for a
piece of horseflesh. At his age his
present speed warrants the belief that
Axtell, barring accidents, will reduce
the trotting record below the 2:08a fixed
by Maud S., and turtles are probably
looking to a mile lin two minutes as
among the possibilities of the race of
trotters. While the breeding of Axtell
is good, it is scarcely such as wonId
have fostered expectations of such mag
nificent results, and it seems to denote
that great horses, like great men, occa.
sionally flash over the horizon. to the
amazement of the world. Horsemen
however, will rejoice that Axtell is a
stallion, and look forward to his prope-
ny as the hope and promise of the trot-
ting race"

About two years ago there was ter
rible howl at Kiowa about the city gov
eminent OF that city spending money
unlawfully. The Herald published an
itemized statement of city expenses for
the eleven months ending August, 1887,
and from that statement it appears
that j. w. Dobson, the then mayor of
that city, now republican candidate for
sheriff, collected from that city 1864. IS
for railroad expenses !" His running
mate, Dr.. Cloud, who Is now asking
democrats to vote for Dobson, got in
the same time $3.50 for railroad ex-
penses." Now, wouldn't that be a
dandy team to put in charge of the
sheriff's Office of Barber county Rail
road expense" IS good. Kiowa and
Hazelton will probably remember better
what Jim called "railIoad expenses"
than do the other citizens of Barber
county. OF course Kiowa and Hazel
ton and Moore and EippewaIla and
Cedar townships will be solid for Dob
SON.

A movement started at Caldwell.
Kansas, lately, promises to become a
matter of great Importance TO cattle
men. Stockmen there sent a petition
to the Chicago commission houses.
asking that they charge per cent. for
selling cattle, instead of so much per
head. 1t does appear unfair that the
cattlemen should have to pay as much
for selling a poor, old, dry COW, or a
stag that will only bring $14, as he does
for fat steer that brings him SIS OF
$50. The per cent. plan must come
into general popularity before long.

A joke from the Cresset of October
10th: Jim Dobson closed the saloons
in Klowa just before he stepped down
and out as mayor" If that is not
purely a joke, what is it? Dobson
closed the saloons? When were the
saloons of Kiowa ever closed +? The
idea of Jim Dobson parading as a sa-
loon-closerl The idea of Jim Dobson
claiming to be a prohibitionist The
idea of the Cresset attempting to talk
such stuff to any sensible man in Bar
Der county! 1t is the worst kind of
rot, and really is SO sickenlng that we
do not think it necessary to further
mention it.

1t is getting nearly time for demands
for aid to come up from Oklahoma. Of
course such demands will come. There
are thousands of people down there
who did not raise thing this past sum-
mer. They had nothing when they
went there, and there will be no work
for them to do, if they were inclined to
work. Had the Kansans remained in
Kansas they could have raised good
crops, and from the proceeds of their
summers work, they could have pur-
chased choice hOmesteads in Oklahoma.
AS it is, they are not as we'll off as if
they had remained here, and even rented

In Wales, the clergymen have way
of collecting their salaries that dis
counts ice cream festivals, mask So
Gals or gum chewing parties. With
constables to back him, armed with a
club, clergyman went among his par
ishioners and thumped them until they
were willing to hand over their tithes
for the support Of the gospel. After
all, that mode of collecting, while, per-
haps, more sudden and less elegant, is
not more effective than the ways of a
well-trained church aid society in this
country. The aid society does not need
the cOnstables or the club. however.

TIE COLD SIMS OF KANs.

State Journal "a sugar broker from
Louisiana was in the city this week.
canvassing for business. He made a
tour of the groceries. and became dis
gusted. He called at this Office, and
said that Kansas was being fooled on
the sugar question that Kansas sugar
at its best was only half sweet; that a
strong sweet could not be raised under
a cold sum-" Incidentally he let drop
the remark that he had found that the
Topeka grocers were all carrying the
Kansas sugar in stock, and seemed to
be sweet on it as it were. We do not
think the Louisiana sugar broker ever
visited Kansas IN July, or he would be
a tritle backward about thrusting for
ward MS observations concerning
strong sweet .under cold sun. Good
bye, Mr.. Louisiana; keep a sharp look
out for a Kansas drummer down in
your country next year, with samples
of the best sugar on earth, grown I'M

Mrs. Logan is for Gen. Alger for the
presidential nomination in 1892. She
entertained the Knights Templar in
Washington, last week. and worked up
an Alger boom. Mrs. Logan is getting
to be nuisance, and appears happy
only when mixing up with crowds and
getting her name into prominence. At
the Chicago convention, at the G. A r.
national encampment, and at the
Knights Templar conclave, she appear
ed more as woman after notoriety than
the modest, plain widow of distin-
gulshed soldier and statesman.

Wichita Eagle: Fifteen thousand
dollars for a base ball player, when corn
is worth but little more than fifteen
cents bushel, is circumstance well
calculated to make the farmer think
that pleasure is more profitable than
business, while it renders it more diff
cult to interest his boys and keep them
on the farm. A general overhauling
