that time and experience can suggest
or money secure. In addition, new

hour, has been added TO it's mechanic
al outfit, enabling it TO take front rank
among the established papers Of the
country.

sense of the word cheap in quality.
The telegraph news is furnished by
the United Press and thoroughly COW
ers the world.
Its short and pithy paragraphs of

THE CORN CROP IN KANSAS.

How It is Developing Muscle and Energy
Among the Huskers.
The following press news dispatch
from IIiawaIha, which we find in the

If she makes failure IL is the great
est on record-Very few of them are
charged 10 her. II she makes sue
cess it ID one Of the wonders Of the
world. This year she raised more
corn than there IL apaying market
for. II was gathered from the coru-
fields 30 quickly that the local buyers
had mo- place to put it,, for many
freight trains could not carry 1t away,
though they were and are kept hauling
night aud day. The great cribs, new
and old, ara filed to bursting, the
ground is covered and. the coal house
is full, and as the farmer puts a fifteen
inch corn log on the fire II suggests to
him fast corn shucking.
John Spencer Of Augusta bet 70
that he could Shuck more corn in nine
hours than Herman Kelley could, but
he didn't. When time was called he
had lis bushels 10 his credit, while
Kelley had 129. The corn was hauled

NO WATER WORKS.

The sixty days within which Messrs'
Frizell u Co. were to have begun the
construction Of the water works plant
contracted for by the city council on
Nov. Is last expired Monday, and no
move has been made that we know OF
toward putting in the works. Several
woeks ago two persons supposed to be
The engineer aud contractor were
here and looked over the ground
Their stay was very brief and but few
persons talked with them or even
knew they were here outside of Mayor
Harvey. They were evidently stopped
short in their plans-if they really in
tended carrying out their contract
with the city-from the fact that Mr..
Willard informed them that he was
the owner of the water power, and
that any arrangement for the use OF it
would have to be made through him.
This. of course, is q question that is
in dispute and is almost daily working
a detriment to the city's interests i'll
WAYS similar to the above, and Will
continue to do SO until it is finally and
forever settled.
Upon hearing Mr.. Willard's state
ment the gentlemen went to MIR. Har-
vey, and not getting, to them, a salts
factory explanation of the matter,
they departed and wrote Mr.. Smith,
city attorney, with regard to it, as has
been published. The question being
vet unsettled we presume the compa-
nv considered that a sufficient excuse
for not pushing the matter.
AS a matter uf fact we doubt very
muck if a majority of the people OF
our CITY desire water works put IN
now even at the low price secured by
the council, but, if they should, and
desired to force the contract, the same
means used would doubtless stop its
progress, as it has been the means OF
stopping several other enterprises
which would no doubt have been
started here had the water power mat
ter been in the shape it ought TO be-
This question of the control of the
mower should be settled at once and
muot be settled before any progress
can be made in the way Of getting

at Baxter Springs.

MIR. SMITH oUsTED.

After the regular order of business
had been attended TO by our city coun-
Gil OIL Tuesday evening the deferred
resolution declaring the office OF city
attorney vacant was taken up to be
disposed of. None of the friends OF
Mr.. Smith who had at the previous
meeting interceded and got the resolu-
ton laid over in the hope of effecting
a compromise were present, nor was
Mr.. Smith present. In the absence of
any definite knowledge that the
injunction against the switch money
had been Withdrawn or stopped or
that other parts of the proposed com-
promise had been attended 10 as un-
derstood, the council forced the pas
sage of the resolution under strenu-
GUS objection by the mayor and Mr..
Gregg. The petitions mentioned in
our report of the proceedings else
where were totally disregarded and
laid on the table.
This action probably disposes Of Mr.
Smith so far as his connection with
the council in the capacity of city at
torney is concerned, but it does not
end the matter so far as the people
and the points at issue arg cOncerncd.
Unless we are very much mistaken
the friends of Mr.. Smith aud the cause
he represents will not sit down quiet
elly, as did his honor the mayor on
Tuesday evening In response to re-
mark from a councilman, and let the
council have full sway to do as II
pleases in the matter.

Globe: The supreme court of Kan
sas passed upon the question as to the
right of persons in Kansas to sell liq-
uor in "unbroken packages" on Satur-
day and held that the state could pro-
hibit such sales. 1t is the same ques-
ton, or virtually the same, as that
now pending in the supreme court OF

probably be decided by that court
soon. The supreme court of Iowa
passed upon the same question, and
upheld the law, holding that such re-
striction did not interfere with the
provisions of the constitution in refer
ence to commerce between the states.
It is the decision of the United States
court that is awaited with the great

Kansas City Globe: The Farmers
Alliance of Brown county, Kansas,
has resolved that the salaries OF the
county officials are too high and will
demand that all received in excess OF
$500 a year shall be paid into the
county treasury. The Farmers Alli-
ance should know that pledge to do
q thing of that kind would render
any man ineligible to an Office. Courts
are agreed that any promise of that
kind is in the nature of bride, and
if proceedings were had against any
one who was elected after he had
pledged himself to pay back any part
of the salary allowed him by law he
could not hold the Office. The proper
remedy is by Legislative enactment, II
relief is desired, and only in that way
can the mischief, if mischief it is be
prevented.
