Mr.. Stacey is not an obstreperous man in

The Minnesota prohibitionists are just
like our Kansas prohibitionists. They

demned everything that is and advocated
everything that isn't. 1t is a great pity
that we can not suspend the law of grayi-

Senator ingalls, dare not go into the
house of representative and ask for the
loan of jack-knife, but what the Demo

We do not have cyclones any more in
Kansas, but occasionally an over-grown
whirlwind comes along and dexteriOusly
performs some trick. On the day of such
whirlwind on the farm Of Joe Wiltsee,
III Wilson county, some three weeks ago,
a coat of Mr.. Wiltsee's was taken and
torn to fragments. In the pocket of that
coat was deposit check for 800 on NJ,

fell into the hands of Mr.. Morgan, a Kan

Hugh Hughes, of Wilkesbarre, stating
that he had a pretty farm, almost free
from debt and was a bachelor with good
habits, but did not feel able to help the
