Cecil Clay, the exceedingly tall and
English husband of the charming
Rosina Vokes, was complaining about
the work embraced in what is known as
the Crawford circuit" He pro,
nounced them very bad, and said: 'In
one place We went to the theater and
found only the cornet player in the
orchestra. After waiting a while I
asked him where the other musicians
were. 'Oh, they're playing up at the
ball. he replied. then asked If he
was to play for Us all alone, and he
informed me such was the fact.
WELL said I, you must be a great
cornet player-you must be the
greatest in the world in your line.'
He fingered the keys of his instru-
ment, looked at me q moment, and
said: "Oh, no, I'm not much of q
cornet player; if I was worth --
I'd be playing up at the ball, too"

The County Commissioners.

The newspapers throughout the
county have taken up the fight started
by the TINES, against the county COM
missioners Especially Mckinney, and
some Of them have said we should keep
up the fight if there was any rottenness
to show up. To all such we will say
that we are proceeding in legal man.
ner to Gust those who We have evidence
against Of gross fraud (whlle acting as
commissioners, ard said evidence will
be produced at the next term of the
district court. which is held in May;
and we might add, we believe it suffi-
cient to Dust them. We believe, how
ever. the Mr. Sidlow, commissioner
from First district. is an honorable, up.
right gentleman, and as far as we can
learn. he has had nothing to do with
the fraudulent acts as passed by the
commissioners during the past three
months.
We know that the little sheet called
democrat. on account of few dol
lars worth of printing, is protecting
Mckinney. We also know that the
Ford City Gazette leans that way on
account Of county printing; but all we
ak o. the Gazette is to give the tax
payers justice, and when we produce
this evidence in court give it to the
readers Of the Gazette. The Demo-
crat don t amount to anything; hence
no attention is paid to it.
Probably the people of Dodge City
are more thoroughly enlightened of
what the county commissioners have
been doing than those outside Of the
county seat. Here they are aware of
facts that will be produced in court,
and the commissioners are also aware
of it Dodge City's people all know

few years ago, and as he was then, and
is now, We produce the following two

Kansas Crops.

State board of agriculture reports nov
in from about five hundred correspond
ents, representing one hundred cOuntie!
of the state, show that wheat, rye, liyt
stock of all kinds, fruit and grasses il
nearly every county IN the state are in
unusually good condition.
| In some sections of western Kansas
wheat made small growth in the fall by
reason of dry weather. and the drOuth
being continued into early winter. there
was much anxiety among farmers with
respect to its condition. The winter be-
ing late, extremely mild and later on
| moisture came in the form of snow, and
| in March abundance of rainfall, bringing
out the wheat in splendid shape. PrOba-
bly, the plant has never shown a more
vigorous and thrifty growth throughout
the state at this date than at present.
The winter being extremely mild and
feed abundant, stock generally wintered
well.
The increase in area sOwn to wheat in
the fall of 1888 as compared with that
sown the previous year is "a per cent,
which gives a total area for the state of
|, 1856. 10, acres, or an excess of 251 ,4S4
acres over that of the previous year. The
per cent reported winter killed amounts
practically to nothing. The general con
dition of the plant as compared with full
stand and unimpaired vitality is practi-
cally 100 per cent.
The area sown to rye in the fall of
1888 varies but little from that sown in
The preyiour year, and the condition of
the plant 100 per cent compared with the
average condition.
Live stock, with the exception of a few
cases of distemper among horses and
cholera in mild form among hogs, is
generally free from disease and in good
condition.
The season is reported throughout the
state as at least two weeks earlier than
usual. and the ground amply supplied
with moisture and generally in excellent
condition for crops.
Chinch bugs are reported in few coun-
ties in the state, but not in sufficient
number 10 excite alarm among farmers
On the whole the condition of the state
is excellent and farmers are greatly en-
couraged and hopeful.
