Failed to Get the Scalps.

The Hope base ball players caught
choice collection of Tartars in the
Junior Abilene nine yesterday after
noon. The visitors cherished the idea
that they would have more or less of a
picnic in winning the game, but it was
the other fellows who had the fun.
Three things embarrassed the Hopeites
fielding, batting and making runs
The Abilenes kept a continual string
of men running bases until at the end
of the seventh inning the score stood,
Abilene %, Hope l. The visitors had
had enough and went home, sadder and
wiser, vowing that they will clay for
the Abilenes when the return game
is pla we'd.

a Deep Scheme.

The Abilene base ball club went to
Enterprise to play ball yesterday after
noon. Our boys say that they did not
care much about playing, but the En-
terprise boys did and played to win.
The Abileneites thought it would be a
good scheme to lead the others on and
get some big bets out of them on the
return game, so they allowed Enter
prise to make 20 runs to Abilene's Z.
The game was not very interesting, but
when Enterprise comes up here a red
hot contest may be looked for.

Kansas Weather.

The signal service weather report for
Kansas for the week ending Saturday
shows that the rainfall has been nor
NAL, averaging OLA of an inch. The
western portion of the State was most
favored. Regarding the general results
the report says:
The general conditions this week
have been highly favorable to all crops
except corn, which needs a higher tenn
perature. In the central-western coun-
ties. where the temperature has ranged
higher, corn is growing finely. Wheat
harvest is progl essing as far north as
Harvey, and, in quality, is reported
superior to that of preceding years. Ii
is ripening in the central and filing IN
the southern counties, with promise OF
q berry equaling that of the south. Bar
ring hail storms the wheat crop is now
considered uout of danger. In tht
southern counties the cotton farmers
complain of cut worms and too muci
water. Chinch bugs still at work il
Woodson, while many central countie
report them flying on the 5th, 9th ant
18th. Raspberries are ripe in the soutl
| while homegrown strawberries ant
cherries are in the northern markets
The promise of an abundance o
peaches is good.

TAXATION TROUBLES.
The Board of Equalization Meeting
Has Number of Interested Atten-

dants.
The county commissioners met again
this morning to consider the taxes of
the county, being in session as a board
of equalization. The merchants of the
city, many of them, are profoundly in
terested in the proceedings as they are
financially affected by the board.
Last week the board thinking that
many of the valuations as fixed by Mr..
Warfield were too low, or at least DID
not do justice to some parties, started
in on a general revision of the valuation
of the city's stocks of merchandise Q.
Nearly every business house was
affected and in many instances assess
ments were raised. Of course the re-
suit was not pleasant one for the
merchants to contemplate, and when
the board began its session today there
were twenty or more business men of
the city present to assist. They did
not so much object to their own valua-
tions as they did to the fact that some
of their neighbors were treated lin
their estimation) better than them
selves. All the forenoon was taken Up
with arguments pro and con, but the
only action taken by the board was on
the assessment of Simon Rothschild S
stock. 1t was originally returned as
81 800; the board last week made it
50, 500 and today lowered to $1,000.
During the afternoon the arguments
were continued; but little business was
transacted.

The Takers Column.

TIE Talker hears that a learned
Judge of the S,SSSth district found out
by practical experience the other day
in hotel how his own rigorous rule
regarding going in shirt sleeves in pub
lie places works. He will wear his
coat next time.
How lucky it was for the fair sex of
the city that no ladies were elected on
the school board! Had any been
chosen the people would have declared
that the deadlock was the direct result
of 'woman's perverseness.
The Talker isn't very strong on
poetry; he has hard work to make
words rhyme, and the metre does not
always jingle. He timidly launches
the following effort with profound apol-
ogies to Walt Mason:
They've been going out from Abilene to Okla
homa plains,
everything but brains,
They've been going to a country that is lit
tered DER with dead,
They've been leaving gold behind them in q
foolish search for lead;
And they've seen that sandy desert in its
wildness, bleak and bare,
Looked il o er and turned their backs upon the
woe and worry there.
So they're coming back to Abilene from Okla
homa's plains,
They are coming, filled with curses and with
sorrow for their pains.
They are coming home in wagons. they are
walking on the ties,
They are coming home on crutches, and the
tears are in their eyes.
And they often pause and ponder and they
wonder why they skipped
To that land so full of boomers and of booms
which lately Tipped;
And they're hiring men to kick them and to
kick them hard and well,
From the wastes of Oklahoma to the burning
wastes of -

The BOnham Review, speaking Of
Carlisle and Mills in the ways and
means committee of the house, drifts
into criticism OF the last four years
of democratic administration, so far as
Mr.. Mills is related thereto, and says:
"The appointment of Col. Mills to
the craftsmanship of the ways and
means committee was serious mis-
take, and the virtual cause of demo-
cracy's defeat. 1t placed him as the
leading exponent of Mr.. Cleveland's
tariff views and gave the north full
sweep on sectional prejudice through
the claim that it was a southern meas
ure, and that the traitors were try
ing peaceably to capture that which
they failed to do with force of arms.
1t was undoubtedly the colossal error
of the four years of democratic rule
and upon Col. Mills personal vanity
and selfishness, in claiming the lead
ership, rests the vast Pleasure of
President Cleveland's defeat. History
will dim rather than rekindle Bold
Rogers flame"
The Review utters partial truth.
1t was mistake to commit the party
to the views of Mr.. Mills, but Mr..
Mills was only the mouthpiece of Mr..
Cleveland, and it was not northern
prejudice against the south, but in
dustrial fears of free trade that defeat
ed the present administration. The
reviewer who does not look deep
enough into the American mind and
feeling to see this, does not look deep
enough to get at bottom facts and so
misses truth, no matter how inclined
to accept it.

THIS solid chunk of wisdom in
some form or another has been hurled
at our people for semi-decade, and
just for the mOnotony of the thing,
here goes, once more:
Manufacturing enterprise is the
hope of this country. A rich soil
adapted to the production of almost
anything, is one of natures gifts to
this people. If farmers here can pro-
duce raw material and send to other
countries, to be manufactured, and
buy the same back again on its re-
turn, could they not be much more
prosperous as a class, if manufactures
were brought to their doors?
The cOnundrum is not hard to an
swer. For correct solution, read back
