some persons were killed in the thinlv
settled regions OF western and northern
Kentucky whose names viii never be

injuries will be not far from l20. In
other parts of Kentucky 207 persons

were killed. mIndiana twenty-five per

Some people may imagine that the
average Kansas farmer is having hard
time Of it as between the low prices for
crops that have prevailed for several
months, and the alleged mortgage in
debtedneSs that has burdened him, but
in no part of Kansas have the farmers
had such experiences as whole com
munities have, recently, in New Jersey
as reported in the dispatches. With the
the very best markets and other advan-
tages there would seem to be no real ne
cessity for the formers of that old, fully
developed country to be in debt, or why
they were not able to meet the obliga-
tons they should have incurred. The
Kansas farmers condition is by all odds
the best of any other in this country
whose agriculture leads, and largely
feeds, the world.
