The Turtle war.

The latest fad that is now exciting
the sporting proclivities of men about
town is a tug-of-war between turtles
says the New York Graphic. The orig
inal form Of amusement was started il
q drug store ON Fulton street, near the
market and Is now finding its way ia
brokers Offices and other places.
Two lively turtles are selected and
one hind leg Of each Is attached to the
opposite ends Of . stout cord, in tina
center Of which Is q knot. A chalk
mark is then drawn on the floor. and
the turtles are placed back to back and
started on, the one who draws his oppo-
nent across the chalk mark being de-
clared the victor. Betting Is always
very lively. and the turtle tug-of-war
promises to knock out the other highly
Intellectual sport Of betting ON tina fies
and the lump Of sugar.

5rover Cleveland. Now want to say to
you that have no time, neither have I
the inclination, to fire into political
corpse. Or In other words I have no
ammunition to spend upon dead ducks, as
Andrew johnson would say. But should
You drag his political remains into this
campaign as you intimate that you intend
to do, You only increase the disgust of a
decent and patriotic people.
One thing more and am done. After
the revolutionary war closed these patri-
otto people pensioned ora soldier for every
forty eight men, women and children who
lived IN the colonies when the war closed.
Does the Times suppose that forty-eight
men, women and children. were able to
snow more patriotic devotion to the sol
dlers than l50 can afford to do to-day?
There were patriots who did not serve
in the armies then. and our good people
are anxlons to show to the world that the
same thing exists to-day.
The colonies who were not worth all
told billion of dollars could prove their
patriotism by pensioning $1,000 old war
worn veterans. And yet nation worth
$6O,GO0,0 100000 can't afford to be honest
with the men who saved its life and then
helped to build up its greatness. That is
the lesson of patriotism you teach. Why
teach such lessons OF shame? Is it be-
cause you never did anything yourself to
be proud of? We ask no aims; ell we ask
is justice, long deferred.
On the 30th of June, 1887, we were pay
ing more than 1900 pensions on account
of the war of 1912, or more than twice as
many as were killed and wounded in that
war. There are not now living of the old
veterans of the late war twice as many as
were killed and wounded. But think OF
it; seventy-two years after the war we are
paying l., 900 pensions for the war of 1912!
1 only wonder that the Times don't berate
these noble people for living so long. I
suppose it is not aware of the fact that
they were yet living or it would be cursing
their longevity. We should love to pen
sion these old patriots.
The Times would not have US believe
that when man entered his country's SER
vice as soldier that he had forfeited every
every right as citizen, and that he should
never again exercise his rights as such.
That is precisely the doctrine it breaches.
It presumes that all he is fit for after that
service is done is to hang around and do
drudgery for democratic politicians or
starve. The very moment he begins to
assert his rights as an American citizen
the Times goes into spasms.
Now, in conclusion, want to say to the
Times that the man who prepared those
much despised resolutions knew the peo-
pie to whom they we're to be submitted.
He knew that the people OF the Fourth
district of Kansas were patriotic and loyal
to the core. And they will see to it on
election day all alike, soldiers and citizens
who were not soldiers, that Mr.. Kelley, our
nominee, will go to congress with good
old fashioned majority behind him.

Our thanks are hereby rendered Willie
Shorthill for copy of the Tacoma Daily
Globe of the IA inst, giving an account of
the blowing down of an up-going hotel in
that city the day before, with the result Of
killing four men and seriously injuring
eight. We notice an editorial article in
the Globe, which asserts that the wind was
not a cyclone or hurricane, but only such
an one as is of common occurrence further
east That paper attributes the calamity
to the frail nature of the narrow, tall wood
en- shell whose construction was under

owes its popularity TO the fact that it is the BEST
EDITED and has the HIGHEST LITERARY CHAR
ACTER of any Kansas publication. It Is CLEAN
and BRIGHT, and is the able exponent Of ideas and
principles dear TO the Kansas people. While it is
broad in its philanthropy it is for KANSAS
AGAINST THE WORLD, and broadly claims that
the best service that be done for mankind is
INCREASE AND MAKE PERMANENT THE
PROSPERITY OF OUR GREAT COMMON
WEALTH. Conscientious service in this patriotic
line of duty has given it an unusual hold upon the
people of central and western Kansas. Besides,
paper excels it as dissemination of news
The MARKET REPORTS ARE RELIABLE AND
COMPLETE. The NEWS OF ALI. THE WORLD
is found condensed in its columns, and the very best
stories and literary productions that money pur

The Coliseum.

On Monday last an important meeting Of
the directors of the Coliseum Building asso.
citation was held at the Office of NJ. s. Lind.
sey, IN the Barker block. Some changes
were made In the board of directors. Mr..
Lindsey and William /. Kerstead, who are
stockholders, were elected directors Mr..
Lindsey was elected secretary and Mr..
Kerstead treasurer of the association. IL s
their intention to at once make extensive
improvements. During the week the con-
tract has been let to heat the building with
steam. The contract calls for two thirty
fiye-horsepower boilers, one high pressure
for their electric plant, which is very com
plete Also for putting hard wood pol
shed floor throughout the entire building.
These improvements will cost many thou
sand dollars. In the spring they will veneer
the entire structure with brick. When these
improvements are completed no building ia
the world will be better adapted to holding
conventions, musical festivals, balls, etc,
than the Coliseum. Negotiations are now
pending with view to securing Patti in
grand opera. The directors have signified
their willingness to guarantee her $4,000
for one performance. The building las o

From Minnesota and the Dakotas the fol-
lowing was received: "The last winter was
extremely mild and business was dull, but
