SUCCESSFUL FARMERS.

The other day the EAGLE gave quite a
list of Sedgwick county farmers whohad
come to this valley poor men that are to-
day from weIl-to-do to wealthy. or at
least independent. The article referred
to gave the figures representing the as
sessable value Of the holdings OF the
farmers named. Yesterday Hon. John

PROSPECTS IN OHIO.

BIUrat Halstead is reported as very
sangUine of the prospects Of the Repub-
iicans in Ohio. He does not think that
the Democrats, with all their desperate
and ingenious and ridiculous gerryman-
dering viii be able to steal more than
two congressman. In describing the
performances Of the Buckeye representa-
tives of tariff reform and patent double
action ballot boxes. he says that in order
to get a Democratic congressional dis
trict out of Cincinnati, they ran a letter
: through the city from east to west
Thus they certainly succeeded in making
the two most Enthusiastically shaped con-
gressional districts in the country They
are more picturesque than ex-senator
McDonald's famous saddle-bags district
in Indiana. They are more unique than
the celebrated shoestring district of Mis-
sissippi. And they are more spectacular
than the tide-divided district of South
Carolina. Mr.. Halstead declares that
the Republicans viii carry his state next
year. He SAYS that all the trouble last
year was the Sunday closing law in Gin
cinnatt, which alienated the Germans. 1t
Is to be hoped that the great and impul-
sive editor viii not be so oblivious Of the
balIot-box blunder Is to be entirely I'M
mindful of its lesson.

What Recinrocitv Means

From the 4. {. Glote.
Reciprocity with Mexico means that
we shall obtain from that country a tiux
ore necessary to smelJ our dry ore. of
which we haven't one-tentL enough. and
which has always come in free without
detriment 10 any interest. and a few
fruits that we do not raise. On our side
we have everything on earth 70 sell 10
that people-they raise but little 10 eat.
while Kansas can TaiSa enough for the
world. and then manufacturers of the
United States can pour into that country
millions ct manufactured products. Sec
rotary Blaine, Minister Ryan. and every
one who has Investigated tins matter l.
enphaucally for reciprocity with that
country. Kansas should make the
greatest kick Of her life On this point.

RUM AND RELIGION
Made n Bad Mixture at the omena Camp
Meeting.

Deputy United States Marshal
Brewster arrived in the city last even
ing with Moses Allen, an Indian living
at Omena, Lelanan county. Moses has
incurred the displeasure of Uncle Sam
by violating the revenue law. He has
been in the habit of purchasing liquor
in large quantities and after doping 1t
with certain "roOts and yarbs' TO IN
crease Its intoxicating properties he
would sally forth among his friends
with a basket full of bottles and leave
devastation and sour mash all along
his trail. At the Omena camp meeting
Moses was bright particular star, and
he was there when the light went out.
Five of the assembly became so en-
Unused over the stuff he was dispensing
that they interrupted the preaching
and mingled "Whoop 'er up Eliza
Jane" with the doxology so that they
had TO be taken out into the woods and
tied to trees before the service could 60
on. There are two other Indians already
in custody on similar charges, bat the
probabilities are that they will fare
better than the white men who violated
the law in selling them the whisky.
