The Charge Of Libel Against Him-His
Letter to Senator Jones.

Detective Block appeared in the Police Court
Saturday and swore to the warrant which he
applied for Friday, charging VIM. p. Wood with
criminal libel in sending a letter to Senator
Jones Of Arkansas. The warrant charges that
the letter was sent to the great injury, scandal
and disgrace of the said Block. The letter as
set forth in the warrant reads as follows:
WASHINGTON, DC, August Is, 1890.
Hon. l. X. Jones, 9l5 N street northwest:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of information
which / believe of sufficient import to merit
your attention. viz: IL is currently reported
that your son is in communication (confiden-
tally with Sigmund /. Block. VI. P, who has
inyeIgled the youth into specially unworthy
of a son of United States Senator. The report
is that your son. under the guidance of Block.
visits houses where card playing is a feature of
the establishment and your son is put forward
by Block as ''spotter'' for Block, one of the
vilest specimen of scoundrels that ever was
connected with the police force of this city.
Do not inquire of your son other than in the
kindest spirit, and be assured / give you this
Information free to enable You to break up al
association between your son and the infa-
nous Block. i have no desire to shield gam
blers. / have no dealings with them and adj
wise with YOU in this matter on grounds Of the
welfare of your son.
Very respectfully.

BLIoHTED BY DROUGHT.

The Crops Much Affected BY the Dry
Weather.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The Farmers Re-
view says: Outside of a few counties in
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota,
where local rains have fallen, drought
is universal in the States covered by our
report-nlinois, Indiana, Ohio, Mis-
souri,, Kansas, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Dakota, Iowa and Ne
braska- AS natural consequence the
corn crop is suffering. Unless rains
come soon and in abundant supply the
crop will be a comparative failure.
Spring wheat, Also is experiencing
the blighting effect of drought The
average condition of that crop at pres
ent in Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Min
nesota and Dakota is about IS per cent
below average.
Oats are yielding as we'll as could be
expected considering the adverse condt-
ton to which the crop has been subject
in the way of drought and insect depre-
dations. The crop Is practically
failure in Kentucky, as also in
many counties of Illinois, Mis-
souri, and Indiana, where the ravages
of the grain plant louise were most
severe. The reports indicate that the
average condition is 30 per cent lower
than that of last year at harvesting
time and the averaging yield 20 per
cent less than that of 1889. Minnesota
and Dakota lead this year with oats and
are harvesting gooi crops, both as re-
cards quality and Weld.

Central Editorial Association.

A movement is on foot to coerce the news
paper boys west Of Mitchell and JeHeu
counties to secede from the =. W, x. Ed1to-
rial association. a meeting was held at OAK
ley last Tuesday to form q new association.
VIII they undertake to fitch from us our
name?-L Beloit Courier.
Well, now since the above has been men
toned, why not let the very northwest coun-
ties and towns form their association, and
take "our manner" Then we suggest the
formation Of new editorial association TO
be called the Central" making the west
ern:line Mitchell, Jewell, Lincoln and ELS
worthIcounties, and the eastern line Riley OF
Marshall, and as far south:as the north line
of Mcpherson. That would give us all the
Fifth district and four counties of the Sixth
which we think would be satisfactory ar
rangement.-[M Minneapolis Messenger.
The idea is good one. 1t has been
painfully evident that the eastern and
western parts of the Northwestern as
ISOLATION did not mix we'll and both
will do much better alone. The Cen
tIal Kansas Editorial association viii
be an institution to be proud Of and
will contain some royal good fellows
not now eligible to membership. Lei
it be formed.

DeuagOgy,

The editor of the Kansas Farmer
has gone daft on all political issues.
He sees nothing good in anything, but
universal wrong everywhere. His d.
gestive organs must have refused to
perform their usual functions and he
has lost all hope for humanity and hui
man governments. Fault finding has
become chronic with him. He has
turned what was formerly supposed to
be the farmers journal into a bitter
partisan political organ with the
avowed purpose of downing the pow
ers that exist" To accomplish this
philanthropic purpose he has turned
his back upon all bis former political
opinions and associates and adopted
the worst species of anarchistic crank
ism. Last week he got off the follow
ing remarkable statement upon the
functions of money:
No individual person ought to be permit
ted to lend money to his fellow citizen and
charge him interest for the use of il. Money
is made for the use OF the people in their
business affairs the same as highways are
made for their use in the transportation of
persons and property and for that reason
the people Dug hit not to be required to pay
for the use of the money they need anything
more than the actual cost of issuing it to
| them and taking the proper security for the
| return of its equivalent at the time agreed
| upon.
OF course Mr.. PETER would not for
one moment think of acting upon this
idea. 1t is not intended to be practi-
cal at all. 1t is simply the ranting of
very ordinary demagogue, who i'm
AGNES he can possibly ride into some
lucrative Office over the misfortunes OF
the people of this state. Should any
poor farmer, whose crops have all been
burned to cinders by the hot winds, re-
quest of Mr.. PETER the loan of 800, the
first question this theoretical politica
economist would ask would be chow
much interest will you give?" and the
second would be what security Cal
you offer?" And if the credulOuS
granger should reply that he understood
from reading the Kansas Farmer thai
"no individual citizen ought to be per,
mitted to lend money to his fellow cit
izen and charge him interest for thu
use of it." Mr.. PETER would very Ger
enormously inform the gentleman tha
the editor of the Kansas Farmer was
not the individual citizen" who haC
| money tn loan that Way.

Little Fruit in Prospect.

According to the agricultural depart
ment the fruit prospect is bad. One
old fellow over in Maryland who last
year marketed fifteen thousand baskets
says he has one peach in sight which
he is nursing with all the tenderness of
a young mother. The department,
however, don't give out such facts but
deals mostly in figures. Some idea,
then, can be gathered of the peach
crop by the department statement that
New Jersey, the great peach center,
will have but eighteen per cent. of an
average crop, while Ohio in the west
stands at the same figures, and even
Michigan has but sixty-twO per cent.
With grapes the prospect is some
what better there being no state re-
turn of less than seventy per cent.
Apples though are also reported low
down in condition, the Dakotas show
ing the least percentage, twenty-five,
and the range is from that up to nine
ty-five in New England. With an
equally dubious situation in Kansas
the best the average Jayhawker can
do is to lay in plentiful supply of
watermelonS while they last. They
are mighty film for the money"

charm the grumblers of every grade
and variety, and just what anyone I'M
AGNES a republican farmer who has
been keeping up with the grand pro-
gressive party of the age can see in the
selection of snch antiquated fossils for
public officials is inconceiVable.
If the sole purpose of the alliance is
to secure legislation for the farmer
then the only reasonable hope OF sue
cess is for the farmer, be he republican,
democrat or union labor, to drop this
petty scramble for minor political OF
fees, join in with the republicans who
have never refused any reasonable de-
mand from any class of American cltl-
zens, select such men as will carry out
the wishes of the farmer, send them to
Topeka and Washington with full in
structions and power to carry out his
wishes and that grand old party which
has lever failed this country or its
people in any emergency will grant
every legitimate demand of the alli-
ance.
That the republicans are ready and
willing to meet the demands of the
people of Kansas including the ALL
ance, is strikingly demonstrated in the
platform of principles put forth by the
Seventh district convention. No
farmer could have drawn up code OF
principles more in harmony with the
expressed wishes of the farmers OF this
state than that adopted by the conven-
ton which nominated J. R. Hallowell
for congress. That Mr.. Hallowell will
be elected and that he will carry out
the principles enunciated in that plat
form if within his power, there is not
the shadow of doubt. The republi-
cans of every congressional and repre-
sentative district in the state are just
as ready and willing to meet the de-
mands of the farmer as are the repub-
licans of the Seventh district.
Is it not therefore the part of wisdom
on the part of republican farmers to
let the scramble for other offices by the
professional office seekers of the third
party take care of itself and at once
take hold and assist in selecting such
republicans as will carry out every
wish of the farming community?
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1890-08-07
Somewhat Monotonous.

The republican members of the farm
ers' alliance must be highly edited by
the reports of the county conventions Of
the peoples party as they are taking
place week after week. On Saturday
several were held. In Clay county the
ticket nominated had three union la
borites on it, two democrats and one
whom nobody knows where to class.
At Garrett nominees for representa-
tive and probate judge have heretofore
acted with the greenback, union labor
and prohibition party. Nominees for
county attorney and clerk of court have
always been staunch democrats. In
Scott county the nominees are all either
democrats or union labor men.
And so it goes. Does not every re-
publican see the drift of the movement?
Is it not plain what the game is? Is it
not getting somewhat mOnotonous as
movement which "does not interfere
with ones political or religious conyic-
tionsP"

ADVANCES IN EVERYTHING.
Corn Takes a New Start Up and
Wheat Still Rising.


Bears in all the grain markets are in
despair. All prices have increased
during the week and the buyers are
happy. Corn is especially on the rise
and closes the week several points in
advance. In Nebraska 45c is being
obtained and in Kansas prices range
from As to SOC. These reports, togeth-
er with the return of clear weather
throughout the corn belt, caused the
strength. The report that the Kansas
crop report will show condition of 20
per cent. for the corn of this state was
another bullish news factor.
Wheat is also still rising and sold at
81 cents yesterday in Kansas City. No
indication of a fall is visible, the re-
ports from the northwest being that
the crop will be less than was expected.
Last weeks demoralized markets
and the serious warnings of last week s
market reports, together with the
timely rains in Kansas, have resulted
in reducing the supplies of cattle very
materially at Kansas City.
AS a result, prices were stiff, being
fully Csc to 4Oc higher than they were
last Thursday. Hogs have advanced
q to cents in spite of the large mum
Der being rushed on the market. Taker
all in all the Kansas farmer seems in ;
fair way to realize the highest possible
price for everything he has to sell.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-It took just
ten minutes this morning for the House
Committee on Elections to adopt the re-
port drawn up by Mr.. Lacey, declaring
that Representative Breckenridge was
not elected from the Second district of
Arkansas This would have been done
last week, but the Democratic mem bers
did not attend the called meetings and
no quorum was obtained By means of
telegraphic notices, however, a full at
tendance of Republican members was
obtained this morning, and the report
was adopted with but a single dissent

Horrible Death OF - Farmer After Horse

Horrible Death OF Farmer After Horse
COughed in His Face.
FORT WAYNE, Ind, Aug. 6.-An old
German farmer named Herman Ruhi,
who has occupied a small farm near
Bloomingdale, suburb of this city,
died yesterday in horrible agony. Some
time ago he was driving horse when
the animal coughed and blew the ex-
pectoration into the face of its driver.
Last week Ruhi's face became literally
incrusted with small pimples and these
spread over his body until he eventually
became a mass of corruption. Medical
science was of no avail DR.. Jansen,
local physician, says that death was
due to blood poisoning caused by the OBJ
noxious matter from the horse becom-
ing absorbed in the mans system. It Is
supposed that the animal was suffering
from CHAMBERS.

The political outlook in Kansas is as
bright for the election of the entire re.
publican ticket as it ever was in the
states history. The alliance move
ment grows weaker each day as poll
tical power and by November there
will be but a small following for the
peoples party. In state, congressional
and for the most part in county affairs
a republican nomination will be equiva-
lent to an election.
