THE srgEment in the Every Evening
against the building Of another bridge
over the Brandywine, so far as It is not
personally abusive Of Mr.. Hickman, is
that it will cost money. OF course it
viii cost money, but there will be the
bridge itself and the increment in the
value Of the adjacent property to show
for it. The increased taxes would soon
reimburse the county for the cost Of the
bridge and the county would have the
bridge for the convenience of the people
practically free-or. at least, at the ex.
pense Of the property it would bring
into the market. The Every
Evening is so fall of malice
toward Mr.. Hickman that its whols
course is warped It is unable to admit
the clear, pure, light of reason upon any
proposition whatever. The Every Evening
is not Influenced by the merits of the
question. but by the intensity of its
malice toward Mr.. Hickman.

THE Every Evening should be com

reform the county government is
through .he Young Mems Democratic

the organized effort Of disinterested citi-

MISS JENNEss delivered an admirable
lecture to the ladies in New York in
which she recommended them "to culti-
vate repose. She referred especially to
gentle and quiet department.
physical repose. Repose is good word
and with her skill and grace of diction
and charming personnel Miss Jenness
was able to convince ber hearers that the
thing itself was better even than the
word. Miss Jenness said
All bad manners result from self-con-
sciousness, which is but another name
for lack Of physical freedom.
We have not the presumption to differ
from such an authority as Miss Jenness,
but we think that statement is probably
exaggerated. Take, for instance, the
Georgetown Republican. It's bad man
ners may be intensified by self-conscious-
ness, but no amount Of physical freedom
would cure such case. The popular
diagnosis is that the bad manners of the
Georgetown Republican Tare not due to
any physical lack, but mental poverty
and moral obliquitY. For those misfor-
tunes rapose would be an excellent
remedy, absolute rest for long period
might abate them, but the surest way tC
relieve the community and to effect 1
permanent cure Is for the subject to re
tire to some lonely spot and die.

General Superintendent Dunlap, OF
the Rock Island, says the rains of Sun
day night were of untold value to Kan
sas farmers, especially il the northwest
ern part of the state.
Kiowa Signal: Saturdays rain put
the ground in capital shape for fall
blowing. Farmers are now blowing
for wheat. Thousands of acres of
Kiowa's fertile prairies will be sown in
wheat this fall.
Mcpherson Republican: A gentle
man in this city has just settled up
with a tenant on some nonresident
lard. Thirty-nine acres yielded $50
bushels of wheat, machine measure.
The owners third netted him S20I. %.
Wyandotte Herald: Heretofore, as
soon as the wheat crop was cut the
chinch bugs swarmed into the corn
fields and sucked the sap out of the
corn. This year there have been no
chinch bugs to prey on the corn, which
has been very for, innate circumstance.
Had there been plenty of bugs, the
corn crop would have been totally an
initiated. Notwithstanding the fact
thPt but little rain has fallen this sea-
son. there was pie. ty of moisture in
the ground to insure a good crop. It
was the hot winds that killed pollen
and thus cut the crop short, and not
the dry weather.
Garden City Sentinel: Calhoun &
Mcdowell will go south of the sand
hills with their threshing machine the
first of next week. While the oat
crop was light in south Finney, the
wheat crop is good, yielding from if
teen to twenty-five bushels to the acre.
Corn also looks well there, and an occa-
sional shower through August will
make an average corn crop.
