New YORK, Dec - Miss Grace How

known newspaper man, has just returned
to New York from Crow Creek, 5 d. She
says that the Indian troubles con not fail
to be settled very soon The principal OBJ

whom is the responsibility of the whole

Miss Howard condemns the government

chief had been taken out of his setback,

THE FIGHT IN KILKENNY.
Priests Work Hard at the Polls a
Every Time Against ParDeIl.

Priests Work Hard at the Poll. and
Every Time Against Parnen.
LONDON, Dec. 23.-Dispatches from Kill
kenny up TO late hour last evening indi-
cate that the events attending the election
yesterday were not so exciting as the heat
OF the controversy leading up to the great
occasion gave reason to fear they would be.
A good deal of the surplus energy of the
people was expended in actual work in
stead of talk and fight. which have here
tofore been in order. The most conspicu-
Gus feature of the day was the activity of
the priests, who all day long worked like
beavers, and kept up constant fusillade
OF exhortation, amounting to intimida-
ton, against voting for Parnell.
- A Contest May Result.
Considering the awe in which the mass
OF the people hold the priesthood, there
seems to be moral If not legal basis
for the declaration of the Parnellites that
the result, If in Hennessy's favor, should
be questioned on the ground Of undue in
nuence Parnell was intensely irritated
by the action of the clergy. and stated
emphatically during the afternoon that he
would Immediately file q petition for a
new election. The vote, however, was by
secret ballot and this may have modified
the power of the clergy.
Only One Little shindy.
There was a large force of police and
military in the district in case of riot. and
the only serious disorder of the day was at
Castle Conner, where the fight was the
hottest on both Sides Here the miner ele-
ment met Parnell in a overwhelmingly
hostile fashion when he came to exhort his
supporters, and almost drove him out of
town. They did, in fact, prevent him
from speaking On the whole the day
passed off far more satisfactorily than any
one had dared to hope.
The Fight viii Go Right On.
Neither side will consent to regard The
result in Kilkenny as conclusive, which
ever way il goes. Crowds thronged the
streets at KilkeDny until long after mid
night, excitedly discussing the events OF
the day and expressing opinions as to the
result of the election. Everything was
uncertain, however. and poll OF the
crowds showed n wide variance Of iudg-
ment as to how the strength Of the parties
was displayed at the voting. The London
Daily News claims Hennessy's election by
ooo. which is 600 less than the anti Par:
neliite claim has been. and The News is as
snti-Parnell as aThe Unsuppressible.r

The Parsons Eclipse says that James
Jarboe of Walton township recently
sold a bunch of cattle for $4,82S Of
which he cleared $1,000. The corn
which he bought from his neighbors
at l6 cents q bushel Melted him over
40 cents. A great deal depends
after all upon the kind of corn cribs
which the farmers of Kansas use.
Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1890-03-22

The average yield Of corn In the
United States last year was 81 bushels
per acre. Tho average in Kansas was
over 40 bushels. The crop can be
produced in Kansas at less expense in
all particulars than almost anywhere
else. It is, therefore, preposterous to
say that the farmers of Kansas are
worse off than other farmers.
