Senator Plumb didn't explain his vote
1t wasn't necessary.
J. Leeford Brady is to give the Kansa
| City News brush of his personality.
Plumb knows the wishes of his consti
tuency and he mos" the Mckinley bill.
| Part of the silence strewn around in
Kansas this fall is due to George r. Peck
The Kansas agricultural college has As
pupils and most of them can tell cow by
its horns.
A man named Lightfoot is candidate
| for county treasurer in Sumner county
How are his fingers;
The fight between the old man Rice and
Bill is really said to be for blood, and there
is bad blood in the family.
Judge L. ID. Bailey, of Garden City, is
announced as out for Robinson for govern
or. The Kansas "herd book" is enjoying a
boom.
Very few Kansas papers this fall can put
up the excuse for not running standing
party ticket that they need the type to
roast the opposition.
1t was Kansas paper and Republican,
but one of no standing in the party, that
announced that the president of Indiana
was coming to Kansas.
The new editor of the Atchison Patriot
is Democrat who views things from a
Republican standpoint. This is very
good sort of Democrat.
The prospect is glimmering in the far
distance that in the political minuet the
north and south will step back into their
places and allow the east and west to
dance awhile.
Harrison Kelley and Senator Plumb
both have their homes in the Fourth dis
trict. The Emporia Republican, the Nc
Kinley organ of Kansas, is a denizen OF
that district, too.
President Harrison will greatly increase

has a chew of finecut and a consular APP
pointment or two about his clothes when
he visits the state.
Col. Learnard's paper, the Lawrence
Journal-Tribune. has dropped the ''Tri-

Emporia Republican, was large wagon
crowded with children and carrying a
banner lettered ''Overproduction."
John Reynolds, of Atchison, is sup

of Twin Hells"
The Atchison Champion wants to know
what Ingalls, would do should he lose his
power of speech. The Champion is I'M
reasonable. What does it suppose the edi-
tor of the Leavenworth Times would do if
the two bright eyes on either side of Dan
Anthony's nose should become crossed.
Kansas has made fun of Posey county,
Ind, and old "Missoury" at times. 1t now
looks like the bread cast upon the waters
had come back as cold buckwheat cakes
when it is chronicled from Fort Scott that
a son apologies and then turns in and

The Atchison Champion assigns for a

kicked to death by kangaroos. Luther
Challis is one man who can successfully
call up his early schooling in geography
and natural history to assist him in his
