TAYLOR IS INDISCREET.
TAYLOR is not as firm man as Clark was and
not as discreet Several damaging statements
that he had made were proven on his trial,
showing his connection with the crime. At
different times since his imprisonment he has
dropped things. and Clark cursed him roundly
several times for it. At one time when Rev.
Maxwell called on the prisoners. Taylor said:
II have something to tell you" and they
walked off to one side of the jail Clark fol-
lowed them and Taylor never told what he de-
sired. Taylor has always laughed about the
ministers calling and said he did not believe
in future state. He wrote TO Rev. Maxwell
this week, however, asking him to be with him
on the day of his execution.
Ben Clark, who was convicted as one Of the
accomplices in the murder of William Nc
Causland and was granted a new trial by the
Supreme Court, has been released from jail on

on wheat this fall.
Over near Phillipsburg, there are
two school districts which have one

supply them with seed wheat this

Hon. w. H. SIDDoNs, Atwood, Kan:
My DEAR SIK:-In reply to yours
of the II tn INST, I would say that the
ca1amitic IS which resulted from the
heat and drOuth have extended over
a very Iitrge portion of the west, from
the Gulf of Mexico to the British
possessi OBS. Accounts have already
reached US from Oklahoma, Texas,
Indian Territory, New Mexico, Kan
sas, Nebrp ska, North and South Da-
kota, and parts of Wyoming and
Minnesotts 8, saying that widespread
destItution prevails, and that assist
ance will bt2 imperatively demanded.
Under tn, use circumstances cooper
alton seems to be advisable, and an
early confer ence will be held by the
representative of these afflicted To-
calities for the purpose Of devIsing
some means of relief. You may rest
assured that the interests of Kansas
will not be overlooked or neglected.
1t would do NO good to make a seper-
ate appeal, because it would be i'm
mediately burdened with amend
ments, and the prospects Of favorable
action by united effort would be bet
ter.
The pioneers of the Northwestern
part of the state have made a desper-
ate struggle against many misfor-
tunes, and they are entitled to the
highest consideration for the con
stancy and fOrtitude which they have
displayed. Many Of them are veter-
ans of the union armies, and I am
confident that a grateful country will
not neglect them, or leave them to
suffer want. Very Truly Yours,
JOHN J. INGALLS,.

DIPTHERIA is very bad at Kenslng-

this week speaks of a family who form
erly resided in this county. It says:
Ollie Sanford died at 10 o'clock
this morning, of diptheria. He had
been confined to his bed a greater
part Of the week and at one time was
supposed to be well, and was allowed
to play around in the house, but while
his mother was at work Ollie went
out in the damp air Monday and soon
took worse from which attack he
never recovered. His father, Allen,
is now in Nebraska hunting, and as
yet knows nothing of his sons death.

L. 0. Kerr came down from Ne

informs us that corn looks pretty fair
where he is located and that fodder
is excellent.
The amount of corn in Smith coun-

March L, $780, 1,68O,0OO. It is esti-
mated that the amount disposed of
since last March is about 40 per cent.
