An Old Cart Personitied.

The following poetical effusion is
contributed by the poet Laureate, of
Coon Geek. Hollow. and dedicated TO
the political mob that tried in such a
tiiseraceful way TO prevent the organ
cation of Il citizens alliance, at the
couryy hoHse in Kins'ey on the night of
September 9th, 1890:
A rotten old cart ard 4 rotten old
wheel; rotten old Ihll, no honest man
would steal. With commissary laden
by mule that kicks like sin and
blazes. Painted with corruption, var
nished with deceit; yet going to des-
tructiOn-the old eternal cheat. Filled
with wool and shoddy to blind the
soul of reason, and glorying in the
work of vice and sin and treason. A
mess of putrid pOttage to purchase
senile votes to hold her creaking tim
hers as dawn to hell she floats. Rol-
ling down. tile street and up the court
house stairs, propelled by mischief's
greed, its purpose to declare; runs
against Il snag because she could not
rule, and fails 10 make her lrag us the
people would not fool. The people
would not taste of such putrescent
slop, hut only thought it waste to
scr:ih with such 81 mop. She swore to
claim attention for her honest, just III.
tention, and her wicked deeds to men-
ton in citizens convention. She
swore by the eternal star of light, that
hangs above, our feet to guide, that
she would there defend her rights and
clustered 'round to have a fight;
amidst the voice of din and shout; she
cried to put the people out; and things
looked like a general rOut; when sud
denly she turned about, for she saw
the poet Laureate there and Thought it
best to sCuelch the affair; and with
| cOhdescending air we helped the old
| cart down the stair. In the corridor
of grim despair she halts to rest and
make repair; and with faith and pray

."Yes, prohibition is killing KANSAS.
The increase of wealth per capita per
last reports is only 49 per cent. Ohio
and Illinois have decreased in wealth
by per cent. The distillery business
and prohibition are each having its in-
f1uence and here they are:
Down in Kansas they have one
school house for every 1S5 population.
Ohio has only one for every 800; Illi-
nois, the state of distilleries, one for
every 400; While poor. pious old Massa-
chusetts one for every 800 popnlation,'
Yes prohibitionis building school houses
all over Kansas, killing the state by
educating the children instead of cloth
ing them in rags through the saloon
process. =
Down in Kansas they have a PEN
itentary which used To Manufacture
large amounts Of goods, The convicts
are falling eff until they have only five
for every 10000 population, Illinois
eleven and Massachusetts twenty for
every 10000 population. ie
Yes, prohibition is killing Kansas
and Nebraska wants to be killed by the
same process. If it is prohibition that
has done all these things (and it is)
then give us lots of prohibition.-Lin

The Cad might have added that since
1880 Kansas has increased in popula-
tion far more than any other state of
similar size; more, in fact, than any
state except New York, Pennsylvania
and Illinois; and while Kansas stands
fourth in point of increase, Nebraska,
right next door, isionly eighth. Neb-
raska and Missouri have done mighty
well, however, considering that they

This threw new light on affairs, and
Mrs. Dclaro was amazed. Why had her
husband given Nelasquez q note at

money? She was utterly unable to
solve the riddle. and at once sought her
old friend for aid.
This is what old Joel Wilcox, the
millionaire. said about IT: You kin

SO when you're ready to sell your house

and give you fair price for it"
Mrs Dclaro was much stirred by old
Wilcox's words. and Ii was with a
blanched face that she looked up at the
big millionaire, and said: Mr. Wilcox,
do you think for one moment that Leon
Nelasquez had any thing to do with the
death Of my poor husband?"

Good butter never comes from tainted

There Is too much full cream
cheese made in this country out OF

to do that and that is the swindler's
