school house that will cost .learly

The Leroy Reporter has about the
beet advertising patronage of any
country newspaper that comes to this
Office. Leroy must be looking up.
Postmaster Mccartney, of Garrett,
has resigned. 1t is understood that
the other Democratic hold-overs have
showered him with bitter reproaches
for having set 80 pernicious an exam
pie.
The Oberlin Eye can now see its
way doubtless into ways of pleasant.

tor, our good friend BORN, has receiv-
ed his p. NJ. degree. THE REGISTER
congratulates.
The grave of man buried several
years ago in western Kansas was
opened the other day, and it was dis
covered that his hair and beard
had grown three feet. Talk about
the fertility Of Kansas soil!
The Emporia Republican, which is
a good philosopher, thinks there are
two good reasons why Senator ingalls,
will be reelected. One is, nobody
will run against him, and the other is,
it would make no difference if they
did.
w. Y. Morgan, who goes to all the
picnics In the Fourth Congressional
District, mysteriously remarks, in his
Chase county Republican, "the num-
Der of lemons used at picnic does not

exporting firms in Boston, who re-ship

Won't the Pilot tell US?
We regret to note that "the Drum
mer Boy of the Rappahannock" has
gotten himselfinto bad odor in several
of the towns in the State, by reason OF
addiction to strong drink. Maj. Hen
dershot conducted himself like a gen.
tleman in lola and gave good enter
tainment.
We thought a little while ago, when
the Southern Kansas offices were
moved there that Chanute would have
boom. But we notice now that her
city council is taking Of levying an oc.
cupation tax,-and we take it all back.
No town can boom with an occupation
tax on top of it.
George w. Martin has gone into the
lingo business. He suggests that if
the national ensign Of the United
States should ever be changed, that it
consist of white field with red buzz
saw in the center, with the simple in
scription written in plain United
States, "No Monkeying."
We are obliged to Mr.. A. d. States
for a photograph of his handsome pa.
per, the Paola Times. We wish all
our exchanges would put us under SIM
liar obligations. We are fitting up a
new sanctum and the pictures Of a
hundred or SO Kansas newspapers
and their editors also when possible

of decoration.
When Providence, remarks the
Emporia Republican, gets the country
supplied all around with rain and finds
it has a few freshets still on hand it
says. "Take these out to Kansas.
They have been kicking there for
more rain for two or three years, and
we'll see if We can't satisfy 'em. 1t
takes lot of water to run prohibition
State and we'll souse it to 'em."
The Salina Republican is kicking
because Senator Mohler, OF that place,
sued an editor in rival town for libel,
thus giving him boom, to the neglect
of the home editors who had honestly
done their best to say mean things
about the Senator. Being true son
of Salina he ought to boom the fellows
who had doomed the town and not go
outside and do something that would
add to the popularity and importance
of man who had whooped it up for
some other town.
Lawyer Mohler, ofSalina, has sued
Editor Waite, of Lincoln, for libel be-
cause the latter charged him with
packing jury. And now the Lincoln
people have rallied around Mr.. Waite
in way that is beautiful to see, put
ting up money to hire attorneys and
swearing to see him through if it
takes their last dollar. The average
Kansas town considers that it has q
divine right to jower at its own editor
as much as it likes; bat it wants it dis
tinctly understood that this privilege
doese not be long to outsiders.
Rumors of changes in the Leaven-
worth Times Office have been current
for some time and have at last crystal
lied in the following announcement
which we find in the State Journal:
