one.
Some of the papers are fighting ex-Gov-
ernor Crawford An EEK" doesn't neces-
sarIly exempt politician from punish
ment in Kansas, this year.
The Topeka Capital speaks of dam
project" We didn't read it but we sup
pose that the Salina papers have been agi-
tating the removal Of the capitol again.

never in such good condition before There
are no politicians on that board of health.
Five of the Kansas delegation in the
house of representatives were for free coin
age; but they were not on the winning
side. The Kansas congressman seems to
be hoodooed
The mayor OF Emporia has resigned. This
didn't cause any sensation. The grada-
ton OF a sensation has been exceedingly
high in the vicinity of the State Normal
since the Walkup case.
a Clay Center school girl received 81
this week for a little sketch contributed TO
the Youths Companion. The most lucra-
tive literary work in Kansas seems TO be
confined TO the school room.
A New York City paper has been sued

There is an explanation Of Congressman
Morrill's refusal to be candidate for re-

The Farmers Alliance has, after all,

acres The Pottawatomies number $50,
and the Kickapoos 300 The commission
appointed last summer to allOt these lands
and to purchase the surplus has failed to
accomplish anything. a new commission
will probably try it over again. Until
then the canine family of Brown county
will live in perpetual dread of the red
mans spit.
The Atchison Champion has been OPP

he demanded, in consideration of the sup
port of the Champion, that Ingalls, have
Mrs. Martin appointed postmistress at
and the doctors son, Paul
Challis, made deputy postmaster" DR..
Challis in turn says this is not so. 1t
seems the fight is on. And amidst it all
the Emporia Republican looks like it had !
been entirely left out in the cold.
