A MISSOURI FUNERAL CHIME.

How fleeing our days and with what
relentless fury does fate pursue us to the
end. The Kansas City Star which advo-
Gates high license for Missouri to main
tain its subscription list in the Missouri
bottoms, and prohibition for Kansas to
hold its subscribers in the Kaw bottoms,
in sizing up the gentlemen who attended
the resubmission convention at Topeka
uses the names ''riffraff, -. ''bums, -
'whiskeyites,' and blossom noses. -
Turn loose the funeral chimes and pre-
pare to fill up our dishonored graves ere
another such mourner from Mis-
souri, puts in an appearance to bewail
our rotten condition.

GOVERNOR HUMPHREYS APPo1NTEE

Mr.. R. R. Price, of Topeka, father of
the gentleman whom Governor Hum
phrey appointed commissioner to repre-
sent Kansas at the worlds fair in Chi
cago, and who may be loyal to localities
or sections Of the state, but hardly to
the state at large Judging from speech
made by the elder Price Saturday last
to number of gentlemen in sleeper on
the Gulf and Santa Fe railway. He de-
nOunced not only Wichita in the most
scurrilous terms as city, but slandered
her people. He was bitter even to OBJ
scenity is the declaration of a man who
heard him and whose veracity cannot be
impeached. Wichita has been expect
ing to make an exhibition at Chicago in
the name of southern Kansas which
would not only surpass her Cincinnati
display, but prove an honor to the state.
But with a Topeka man as one commits
siOner and Mr.. Price another Topeka
man as the other, the idea might as we'll
be abandoned at once unless we can Sc
cure the good offices of Hon. William
Deering, the great plow man, and one of
the Illinois commissioners who an
nOunces that he will make Wichita his
base of supplying the southwest and
Oklahoma in the very near future.

HIS MIND CHANGED SUDDENLY

From the Kansas City Times.
The Hon. O. l.. Coates, of Kansas City,
Kan, eX-state representative of WyandOtte
county, returned Yesterday from Topeka
where he attended the resubmission con-
yentiOn the day before. He is a Staunch
Republican and a leader in his party across
the river.
THE governor almost completed his
grave, politically speaking, by his refusal
to attend the convention" said Mr. Coates
to a Times reporter today, land he seemed
to fully realize it as we came down from
Topeka together today. While at the cap
ltal l had some business OF n private ma
ture to transact with the governor and
happened to meet him in his private office
about 1:30 o'clock III the afternoon. When
| told him | would like to talk with him
on business he said he would be unable to
confer with me until morning, as he had
promised to accompany committee of re-
submissionists to the convention at
representative hall at 2:3O O'Clock.
then departed and went to
the hall, fully expecting to see Gov
ernOr Humphrey put in his appearance at
the hour he stated. When the committee
appointed to escort the governor to the
hall returned without him | was greatly
surprised and could hardly believe it. But
when another committee appointed for the
same purpose made an unsuccessful trip |
concluded that the governor had seen
some of his political advisers since I had
left him and that they had persuaded him
not to 90. The fact that he told me he in
tended to attend the convention can not be
denied. | never saw a more representative
set of men together in the state of Kansas
than was gathered at representative hall
on Friday afternoon. The Prohibition
Republicans may rejoice for some time
over the failure of the opposition to secure
a hearing, but they Will come to grief at

ment is very strong. In that respect
they did not represent Kansas, but Wich-

The delegations from other portions of

brium used by a morning paper in refer
ring to the delegates. They were pres

LAND VALUES IN KANSAS.
From the Springfield. Mass, Republican,

From the Springfield, Mass, Republican,
Mayor p H. Albright, of Winfield,
Kan, native of Connecticut, says of
the future of agriculture, land values
and eastern investments in farm mort
cages in the western states that, owing
to the exhaustion of the public domain
and the fact that many have settled
upon lands further west which will have
to be abandoned, the tide of settlement
is turning eastward again. | do not
think this fact of the public domain hav-
ing been disposed of and its probable
effect on future values can be amplified
too much at this time or become too
well known. | have been sent on two
exploring expeditions, once to Nebraska
and once to Dakota. by people investing
money III farm mortgages. | have been
in Colorado on two different occasions,
once to Texas and know something of
some portions of western Kansas-and l
repeat that in all of these states many
quarter sections now occupied will
necessarily have to be abandoned, The
beginning of the 18th century marks a
new era in national development Lands
will now begin to be sought fOr-all
needed railroads have been built-the
surplus incomes of the wealthy must
have new channels of investment,
nothing is less liable to run away than
land, rates of interest will drop and
prices Of land will advance rapidly.
