KANSAS RAILRoADA

Emporia Republican: Men are at
work on the trenches and excavations
for the piers under the new NJ, K. & I.
depot. Supervising Architect Bannan
is personally in charge of the work.
Work was done on the finishing grade
north of Sixth and also south, and
has begun at the main line
on the south side. The track is ready
for the transportation of material for
the new depot.
Topeka Capital: The Kansas railroad
commissioners may experience trouble
in enforcing their decision so materially
reducing the local distance tariff on
grain and merchandise. The roads have
given it out that if any considerable
reduction was ordered they would resist
the order and refuse to put the new
tariff into effect. They will, they say,
carry the matter into the court of last
resort, and test the legal right of the
to make figures for them.

Bluff City Herald: The outlook for
corn is better NEAR here and west
towsrds Anthony than anywhere else
we have seen. Joe Lewis has q big
field that will make thirty.fve to forty
bushels to the acre of good, sound corn,
and there are many other fields that
will yield good corn. With cur big
wheat crop, QUE old corn, and the pros
psct Of getting considerable new, there
is no occasion for any encouragement
or discomfort, unless it be for profess
sional and revenue purposes.
Ulysses Plainsman: Mr.. Calkins
was up from. Sullivan township and in
formed us that his wheat crop averaged
over twenty one bushels TO the acre and
IOverran in weight. He says that he
has been with threshing machine for
the past two weeks, and that the gen..
feral average will be considerably above
fifteen bushels to the acre. He also
says that the success of himself and

Winfeld Courier: Cowler country

Winfield Courier: Cowley county's
treasury was never in better condition
than at present. After paying for the
addition to the Jail and for the cages,
there is sum of $4,000 left to meet
the October drafts. Four years ago,
citizens who held warrants drawn upon
the treasury well remember there was
no money to meet the claims and they
had to be held over To-day we find
quite different state of affairs. The
ready cash to meet obligations was
grounds for an order to reduce the
general levy, and such order was made
by the county board Monday. A re-
duction of 81 mills was ordered, and
this viii be quite an item to the tax
payer of the county. The board has
also refunded bridge bonds to an extent
that saving OF $1,4OO has been made,
and the cages in the county jail viii
dispense with the need of guards, thus
saving the county from 81, 1000 to 81

STOCK AND FARM.

Atchison Champion: W. W. Guth-
RE says corn on his farm in Missouri
will be big crop, in Doniphan county
will yield forty bushels per acre at
least, and on his ranch in Chase county
about the same. He has a large num-
Der of cattle to feed, but has plenty of
both hay and corn for them.
Attica Advocate: Up to Wednesday
evening the Carver Bros. had shipped
forty-two carloads of watermelons.
They put into a car from 500 to 1,600,
or an average of 1000, which shows a
shipment of $1,000 melons, and yet
have not made much of an impression
on their field of 120 acres.
jamestown Kansan: Although there
will be some corn in this section it will
be so little in amount as to make the
crop a practical failure, much more so
than in 1887 or 1888. Still with the
amount of wheat and oats raised and
the good prices which these bring, most
OF the farmers will be in fully as good
shape financially as at any time during
the past five years.
Goodrich Graphic: The best and
clesnest fax seed that has come into
this market was brought in by Thomas
Cottle. He has large crop, and what
he brought in will make sixteen and
half bushels per acre, and Is too clean
to admit of test. Tom made one of the
best clerks the county ever had. while
} holding that position, and now that ne
has again turned his attention to farm
ing, he Is making his Judgment and
energy count in raising good crops.
From ElDorado: Careful inquiry
by associated press agent here among
farmers, stockmen, and bankers shows
that about the usual number of cattle
will be fed in this county this winter.
The old corn on hand, with the new
crop of corn and hay, is sufficient to
warrant stock men to borrow the usual
amount of money for full feeding. It
being believed that fulfilled steers will
bring good round price next spring,
large bank loans are being arranged

ALLIANCE MATTERS.

From Kingman: The peoples county
convention nominated a full county
ticket, which is farmers alliance tick
ct. The convention was one of the
most enthusiastic ever held in this
county.
From Salina: A county farmers
alliance convention has been held here,
at which delegates were elected to the
state convention at Topeka, and also to
the congressional convention at Clay
Center. They were uninstructed, but
are understood to be for Ex-Governor
Robinson, on account of his resubmis-
sion proclivities.
From Topeka: The citizens alIi-
ance formed state organization to-day,
there being fourteen counties repre-
sented by forty-five delegates. The st,
Louis platform was adopted as the
guide. The citizens alliance is to be
auxiliary to the farmers alliance, tax
ing in all WHO are not eligible to men,
bership in the latter. It is an open po-
litical organization, the same as the
parent society, with the secret work left
out.
From Leavenworth: The county
central committee of the Leavenworth
county farmers alliance and labor
union held meeting in this city. It
was decided to hold the county conven-
tion the second Tuesday in September.
At this convention a candidate for
county commissioner and four candi-
dates for the legislature will be put
in nomination. No action was taken
in the matter of nominating other
county officials than those stated.
From lola: The peoples county
convention met here and placed full
ticket in the field. A good representa-
ton of the farmers of the county was
in attendance, and harmony and enthu-
siasm prevailed. The candidates are
all good men, formerly republicans,
and have not been up for Office previ-
Gus to this time. The movement is
strong among our hest citizens, and
prospects are tiattering for the election
of the entire ticket.
From Lawrence: The picnic of the
farmers alliance and industrial union
of Douglas and adjoining counties, held
at Bismark Grove, was the largest as
semblage of people which has met there
for years. Hon. W. w. Wilkins, editor
of the Non-Contormist, of Winfield,
Kansas, opened the days exercises with
a speech. Mrs. Mary L. Lease enter
tanned her audience for about half an
hour, making very favorable impress
sion. Hon. A. F. Allen made an Open
air speech to large crowd. The pro-
cession, which was about three miles
long, was composed of 80 vehicles. By
actual count, over 10000 persons were
in attendance.
Topeka Capitak The citizens ALI
ance Of Kansas, an organization which
is supplementary and auxiliary to the
farmers alliance and the peoples party,
was organized at Representative hall,
delegates baing present from about
dozen counties. The organization was
started about two months ago, and
already has a membership of about
5000 throughout the state, which in
cludes business and professional men
and mechanics who are in sympathy
with the farmers alliance. The con-
vention formed a permanent organiza-
ton, and resolved to support the ticket
to be nominated by the peoples party.
The convention was made up entirely
of union labor men and democrats,
only two ex-republicans participating.
