KANSAS CLIPS AND COMMENTS.

| Eighty head of cattle have died If
''stalks''in one neighborhood in Smith
county.
1t isn't surprising that Wichita and
Leavenworth are against prohibition;
they never tried IT.
1t is reported that Philip Krohn will
give up his position Oh the Atchiscn q
Champion and return to the pulpit.
The Lawrence Journal thinks so
much of Chief Mayes' Thanksgiving
proclamation that it prints it twice in
one column.
Chase county has finally turned the
rascals out. On and after the second
week in January there will be no Of
flee in the court house occupied by a
Democrat.
Mr.. Hefflefinger and Miss burst
were married over in Woodson county
the other day, We don't know how
any woman burst marry o man with
such name.
Noble Prentis is writing some ele.
CANT letters for the Atcbison Cham
pion. His last one, contrasting Kan.
sss in 1869 with Kansas in 1889, was
perfect as q picture.
Laurence journal. Lots of news
paper men 60 to Topeka to find out
things. Charles Scott and Fred Van
degift lead the crowd in getting points
from the holy of holies.
The c ttawa Republican is running
the history of the United States on its
editorial page as q serial. Originality
and sprightliness are the Republicans
distinguishing characteristics.
The local page of the Lawrence
Journal waded into a revival preacher
who preached personal devil sermon;
aud now Will White does all his local
work after night, in a back room.
John X. Rankin has been appointed
special agent of the department Of
the interior, for the allotment of lard
in severalty to the Indians in the In.
dian territory. 1t is a good :'sit." and
we are glad Rankin got it.
An average of SO trains a day be-
tween Kansas City and Topeka lends
lends verisimilitude to re.
port that the Union Pacific will lay
a second track between those cities. A
double track railroad will be another
thing for Kansas to brag about.
Topeka Capital: In the last ten
years the capital invested in Kansas
manufacturing Industries has increas-
ed 600 per cent, and the ndmber of
laborera employed has increased 400
per cent, In that time fourteen
bre weries have been banished from. the
State. Can any western state make a
better showing?
When Writ Walton was killed three
years ago his paper, the Clay Center
Dispatch. was one of the most valua-
ble weeklies in the State. Now it is
to be sold to satisfy mortgage of 81
600 and it is doubtful whether 1t will
bring that. Another illustration of
the fact that the value of a newspaper
depends on the man who is running it.
With the Kansas City Times the
supporters of q Democratic leader are
called "his friends" but the suppor-
ters of a Republican leader are called
"his henchmen."-Gov. Riddle.
The Governor need no. have con-
fined his observation to the Times, for
1--WE all do it" more or less. Only
some of us are little" "decenter" about
it than other.
Alex. Butts says that the associate
editor OF the Topeka Capital is the
only college graduate in Kansas who
is an editor. Now listen for q roar
from Charlie Scott. Vernon Kellogg,
Frank McLennan and the rest of the
boys who have their sheep skins laid
away in oiled paper Laurence Trib-
une.
There ia no roar coming from US
Our experience and observation has
been that college education is no
disadvantage to a man,-rrovidcd that
he keeps still about it.
K. C.. Gazette: We see by the dis
patches that John Martin and John T.
Bradley scted SO bad in court yester-
day at Council Grove that Judge
Nicholson ordered them both locked
up in Jail over night. This is some
what astonishing, and il may arise
from the fact that Bradley has light
ming passion. We have known Brad.
ley for fifteen years, and have been fla
miiiar with John Martins pranks Oh
the circuit for twenty-eight years. The
fracas makes us laugh, and tempts us
to go into "reminiscences. Somebody
ought to write up the days in the ear
ly COS when John Martin, Archie
Williams. Hib Case, old Higgins, A
NJ. Burns, G. K. Gilchrist, Colonel f.
H. Sanford, and score of others, used
20 tramp the prairie grass up and
down the Kaw valley following courts.
in those Gays the people enjoyed a cir
Gus every six months. We had occa
sion to skin the crowd once for their
hoodlumism in court. Years after We
were i'm search of some historical data,
and going into Johu Martins office We
