an inspector. Is he from Massachusetts,
Judge Pfeffer is still fighting ingalls,
Pfeffer should be frank and tell who he is
representing.
According TO United States Attorney
Ady the prohibition corpse is dead-full
| dead. And there is no need OF a post-mor-
TEN examination.
The next time Senator ingalls, makes a
speech in Atchison it is confidently pre-
dicted that the Champion crowd will not
hold reserved seats.
Senator Plumb critics. the postmaster
generals method of employing spies to an
noy the postmasters of the country. This
seems TO be very good lesson out of Sun
day school.
Senator ingalls, has been defending the
! government geological corps in the senate.
But that is not the kind of ''rocks" Kan
sas is interested in Senator ingalls, Grating
| over just now.
! 1t looks very much like a man named
| WEIGH in Topeka was wishing to be
brought forward for contempt of the
| United States court for the notoriety it
would bring him.

out at that Indiana Fourth of July cele-
bration, as the only man in Kansas who
was ever publicly mentioned of being able
to take Senator ingalls, place. -
See our delegation at Washington flock
together on the free coinage of silver ques-
ton. 1t was allegiance to Wall street or
to their constituencies And Wall street
doesn't elect Kansas congressman yet.
Judge Botkin, they say, still has designs
on Il seat in congress. It is still doubtful
though, notwithstanding Harrison KEEL
ley success, whether the report of an I'M
comfortable episode in the south will help
man TO a nomination in Kansas.
The Topeka Journal keeps On censuring
the LeayenWOrth Times because it runs
whisky advertisements Now the prob
ability is that the Times runs the ads, be-
cause they pay good deal better than the
prohibition articles alongside. Leave
Dan Anthony alone, won't you?
Attorney J. w. Ady says that the ''orig-
inal PACKAGE decision annulled the pro-
hibitory law of Kansas and should the
Wilson bill pass it would not revivify it
but that the people of Kansas will have to
elect legislature that will pass law reg
ulating this traffic in such manner as
may be warranted under the Wilson bill.
Who said anything about an extra session
of the legislature?
Frank S. Presbrey, formerly a Kansas
editor, later connected with the Denver
and Rio Grande road still later an Ohio |
editor, and now editor and proprietor of |
Public Opinion in Washington, has just |
received the decree of A. NJ. from Prince
ton college He has also just published a |
very interesting article on the Study of |
Current Events in the School and Col |
lege Presbrey married a Lawrence girl
Miss Spaulding.
If all our Kansas congressman were |
strong, brainy, courageous, aggressive men
what a name they could have made for |
themselves. Going against the outrages
TO the west to a man, unfalteringly and |
fearlessly, as body they could not have
been accused individually of disloyalty
to their parts They would have been
praised for the loyalty to their state and
to the people whose votes named them as
their representatives. Yet, when the tide
was at its flood, they hesitated.
At l o'clock Wednesday afternoon a
meteor fell four miles northwest of Wash
linton, Kansas, which is probably the larg-
est that has ever fallen in this section of
the country. Its exact size is unknown at
this time, but it must have been enor-
NOUS as the explosion shook the country
for miles around and the meteor buried
itself to a considerable depth. At Frank
fort, more than thirty miles away, houses
rocked, and people believing that the shock

doors and were greatly alarmed At
and Blue Rapids the shock was
equally severe The falling of the meteor
was accompanied by a noise resembling
thunder, and lasted several minutes. The
sky was clear and the meteOr's fall was
by many people. 1t fell on a
farm belonging to J. d. Foster.
1t will be remembered that in 1884 there
was a scandal about John p St. John and
Jim Legate in connection with a PROPOSE
ton to sell St. John out to one of the great
parties The situation was close
in some of the states and St. John had it
in his power to help or hurt the Republi-
cans Legate claimed to be st. Johns
agent and 900 was the figure he de
handed Tom Stivers was an accidental
witness to some of Legate's manipulations,
relates the AtchisOn Globe Mr.. Stivers
was in New York and so was Legate One
lay Stivers took a little trip over to Hart
lord to see what sort of a looking man
Barnum, chairman of the National Demo
ratio committe was. Behold, on the same
rain was Legate Legate's mission was
also to see Barnpm; not alone to look at
lim, but TO talk to him. The next day
Stivers thought he would go to Albany to
ook at Grover Cleveland. Again he found
Legate on the train. When Stivers reach
ID the state house. he was astonished to
zee Legate slip out of door. Stivers fol
owed Legate back TO New York, but he
would tell nothing. 1t was afterwards ,
earned that another Atchison man
vas on Legate's trail This man I
Knew what Legate was trying TO do, aud

move Legate made; every trip to see Demo
