This is equal to 115 is per cent. per an

whether this is done for the purpose of
catching suckers or are they actually
robbing the farmers in this kind of style.

"'The Delegates lmbued With the Very

Wichita was struck as soon as he got off
the train by a sign reading: "A Pair of

"Vic." Murdoch did the opening of the

His reports were sufficiently exhaustive
without being loaded with unnecessary or

of the situation were generally correct.

But Will They?
from the Lawrence Journal

From the Lawrence journal.
The resubmissionists in convention as
sembled in Wichita yesterday discounted
even their allies. the Democrats. In their
resolutions they ''arraigned." they
charged" they "deplored." they "op-
posed" they denounced. and then they
went over to the Democrats and endorsed
everything that had been done by the
mOssbacks, and agreed to assist the lat
ter in attempting to defeat the RepublI-
can party. After the delegates get over
the headaches they contracted while rati-
flying the nominations they will nearly
all be heartily ashamed of themselves.

matter, catching a short breath suffi-

Prom the Albany Journal.
While discussing the fact of many
mortgage foreclosures in Kansas and
other states, ii is well to bear in mind
that many of these are upon the unoccu-
pied lands that have been bought for
speculative purposes and have subse-
quently been mortgaged for all they
will bring. The farmer is by no means
the victim of the majority of these fore
closures. 1t is the Spectator who has
failed to realize.

Democratic Delegates.

Persuant to call democratic mass
convention was held in the court house
in Great Bend, on Saturday Che 9th
inst. Owing to the races that day, and
to the unsettled condition of political
matters generally in the county there

SATURDAYS Races.

One to two thousand people gathered
at the west side race course last SaJur-
day afternoon to witness the much
talked of trotting race between the
bay mare, Kansas Queen, owned by
Nose Fletcher, of Ellinwood, and dun
stud, "Knickerbocker,''' owned by Lon
Rowell, west of town. The race was to
be three best out of five heats, and the
horses were brought to the score at $3.50
p. M, with Knickerboeker to the pole.
Betting was pretty even on the horses,
the dun horse being the favorite with
the Great Bend people and the mare
being we'll backed by the Ellinwood
boys. Both horses showed their metal
on the first heat; Knickerbocker took
the lead and held it to the first quarter
at 2:20 gait, the nervy mare close at
his flank. She gave him a hard push
all the way round until the home
stretch was reached, when her driver
saved her by holding in. The second
heat was almost a repetition of the first,
the dun horse keeping to the front all
the way round. The third heat was
closer. The mare seemed to be grow
ing better with every heat, and on. the
home stretch she crowded Knicker-
200 yards from the wire the stud broke
to run, but gathered himself in time
to come under the string in shape, and
won the heat. Time: 1st heat. 2:4O, {;
End, 1891; 3rd. 1881.
It was thought Dy many that Kansas
Queen wen the third heat, and had
staying qualities sufficient to get the
next two. We believe, however, the
judges were fair in their decision.
Lutte Aber drove the dun horse and
showed wonderful control of the animal;
getting the work out of him when it
was needed. Mr.. Fletcher drove his
own mare, and felt confident of the
race from the beginning: but it seemed
not to be cher day to trot.''
