ceived in Atchison
The summer boarders at Geuda Springs
it is said, have gotten by this time so th~y
can swallow whole cupful of spring No
and look pleasant.
Two Kansas girls, Misses Anna Lindsey
and Mary Garvin have leased the Stafford
Herald and will hereafter run that paper
as a Farmers Alliance organ.
Congressman Harrison Kelly has been
almost continually in office for twenty five
years, but nobody would believe 1t from
reading the house proceedings
Ed Greer, of the Winfield Courier, is
| fighting the spiritualists of that town
| This seems somewhat disloyal in Mr.
Greer, right in the midst of the census.
Governor Humphrey was recently taken
for an original package" dealer at Clay
! Center. But this is not as bad as Bernard
| Kelly being mistaken for Mormon elder
1t seems to be pretty thoroughly admit
ted over the state that 5. r. Peters does
not consider the salary of d United States
district judge inadequate for comforta-
bic living.
The FL Dorado Republican has laid in a
| new font of italics and is pounding Harri-
son Kelly with prodigious strokes. l. ac-
cuses him of living in a brick house with
! green shutters.
Will Bolton, of the Kiowa Signal. is
| fighting somebody about something just
at present. Will is an individual who
never allowed his embonpoint TO interfere
with his kicking proclivities.
Ex-Governor Robinson's proposed can
didacy for the Democratic nominee for

If Anderson should go back to congress,
Mr.. Swensson of the Seventh and Mr..
Baker of the Sixth district be elected,
Kansas would have three preachers in the
house of representatives. And there is
Bernard Kelly. There is no telling where
he will turn up next fall.

w. T. f. and Jas. Donald, of Atchison,
were recently members of a coaching party
in Paris. A baron drove, and a viscount
sat in the coach with the Atchison men.
The New York Herald printed cabled ac-
count of the affair. 1t is not often that
Kansans are driven by baron, but when
they are they are going to cable it.
Wichita Jim, the famous rider of wild
ponies connected with Buffalo Bills show,
is son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bebb, of yelling
ton. He is a cowboy and he writes letter
to his parents that is a cowboys letter,
and for that it is interesting. He is in
Munchen, Bavaria. He say in regard 20
German prohibitions: 'Munchen is fine
town and is built more like the American
cities than any / have seen in Europe
They have the finest beer in the world here
and it costs only two cents quart. You

show the other morning. Annie Oakly,
Johnny Baker and G. l.. Daley did some
shooting for him, and myself and Gus
Uhl rode QUICKER for him. The prince
was standing III the way and Gus rode
over him and the result was that he was
knocked a distance of fifteen feet. We
told him that he had better get out of the
way. as the horses were wild but he said
he was something of horseman himself and
that he was not afraid. but he had to give
up that he was no horsem an at all; that
he could not even get out of the way of
Spanish pc ny. He made Gus a present of
a silver cigar case. Gus can say what no
other cowboy can say and that Is that he
ran over the coming king of Bavaria. In |
fact he is practically king now for he does |
allthe heavy rnling for the countrY.' y
