Another Scare.

Professor Root makes the prediction
that the greatest and most destructive
storms that have occurred in the past
century will dwindle into insignifi-
canoe in comparison with the storms
that will occur from the 18th to the
10th of September. He says there
will be great destruction of property
accompanied by fearful loss of life
during the period mentioned and
advises people to be prepared for the
catastrophe. We believe it was Wiggins
who promised such hot weather during
the last two weeks of July and the first
two weeks in August. Root probably
don't know any more about the
elements than Virgins and we have
SO much confidence in the latter that
we are satisfied if any such storms are
brewing he would have informed the
public at the same time that he gave
notice of the hot weather.

brings clouds of difficulties upon one
while another has comparatively plain

The Latest Swindle.

The latest device for swindling the
unsuspecting public is as follows:
Parties canvass the country town ,and
procure the names of old soldiers. A
nice little piece is written up, descr1b-
ing his company, the wounds received,
the battles in which he engaged, the
prisons he visited, etc. After the
detailed account has been read to the
loyal hero he is requested to sign
his name SO that the matter can be
published correctly. The same sig
nature turns up ia the hands of
another, who compels payment of a
note or subscription price to a war rec
ord or some expensive book.-Newton

Journal,
The asylum here at Topeka is crowd
ed to overflowing, still we hope room
can be found in the same for the
bucolic, protective ass that edits the
La Cygne Journal. The American
manufacturer who howls for protection
is an arrant coward and spurious coin,
a counterfeit on the name America
and ought to be sent back to nature s
mint and moulded over again. He is
worse than Shylock, for he fattens off
unjust tribute wrung from ignorance,
prejudice and passion.
The Poles, the Huns, the Italians,
the Greeks now swarming in the east
ern mining and manufacturing dis
tricts, are creatures brought to this
country by him by ship loads to supply
| the place of honest American labor that
was to be protected (?) by protection.
Yes, the American manufacturer
who cries for protection, is a coward
and a knave, but he is Influenced by
the great motive power, self-interest
and there is partial excuse for him.
But the agricultural Kansan who, in
his deepset ignorance, boldly proclaims
that he is in league with the robbel
coal, iron, lumber, salt and wood barons
of the east, he is not only crlngine
coward, but as another Judas, would
sell his soul, children and country te
