SUNFLOWER SKINNER.

Senator Ingalls, new home at Atchisor
IS situated in acorn field. 1t is called
Oak Ridge"
What has become of the step ladders
with which the Kansas farmer used tC
gather his corn?
Senator Plumb has been plaigarizing
from Senator ingalls,. He has got &c
wearing red necktie.
Judge Pfeffer wants to discuss the tariff
question with Senator ingalls,. In this
Judge Pfetfer is away of"
! What has become of DR.. Krohn? Does
he think he could conscientiously edit the
Atchison Champion of today?
| Ingalls, and Horton, some say, have bur-
led the Ratchet But it is still thought by
| majority that they left the handle stick
ing out of the ground.
Mr.. a. I. Sharpe, of the Ottawa Repub-
lican, is very sick and consolatory and
| hopeful words from all his brothers of the
profession are pouring in upon him.
Ben Glover, as delegate to the Third
congressional convention, voted for the re-
nomination of Bishop Perkins and for his
reelection. But that was two years ago.
There is some doubt as to the spelling of
the name of the Peoples party's candidate
for governor. So far there seems TO be but
one thing settled in regard to Mr.. Willets
that he is unknown.
We all ought to be thankful for that big
Alliance picnic in Atchison county, Satur-
day. 1t will take the papers minds off
the denomination of Congressman Morrill,
for few days at least.
The next congressional convention is
that of the Fifth district. The convention
is a late one and Mr.. Anderson's chances
for denomination are just about three
months better than Congressman Turner's
were.
All the buildings in Bismarck grove at
Lawrence are into ruins. Like the man
of the same name, they have seen some
fiery flights OF oratory. Also some horse
races and illImitabIe train OF white
dresses and taffy candy.
The story circulated that Senator ingalls,
is to be in Fort Scott next week has been
proven to be without foundation, but we
don't notice any article in the Fort Scott
papers of the same issue welcoming Gen
eral' Rice back to his home.
A Montana man has a trained moose
which he wants TO trot in harness against
a running horse at the Kansas state fair,
but as he wants $500 for the unique eX-
hibition, he will hardly be engaged. He
has made a contract with the Nebraska
state fair.
This is the last of the summer and it is
becoming dull. Occasionally the silence is
~,
where in the state that opposes the re-elec-
ton of Ingalls, and denounces President
for beating Grover Cleveland in
the fall Of 'SS.
Frank MacLennan remarks with his
pertness that 'Mr Democrat made pro-
posal to Miss Peoples party and she gave
him the mitten." Mr.. MacLennan is
right. But we have even heard some
Democrats go so far as to say that it was
made out of Republican yarns.
Out in Dickinson county the Farmers |
Alliance has nominated Hiram Harvey for
the legislature. Some of the alliance peo- |
pie want Harvey to pledge himself not to |!
vote for Senator Ingalls,, which he declines |
to do. He says he has got the nomination,
and proposes to do as he pleaseS.
Senator Plumb flies a danger signal and |
whenever his colleagues in the senate see |
it fluttering in the breeze they look out for |
collisions, says a Washington dispatch. 1t |
is bright red necktie with fiaring ends, |
and against the SOmber suit usually worn !
by the Kansas senator it is glaringly |
apparent He wore it first, so far as is now |
the day when the discussion /
over the army appropriation bill waXed so |
warm as to lead to almost violent demon |
5tration on his part against Senators |
Sherman and Edmunds. 1t was not |
noticed again until yesterday, when he
took a tilt against Father Dawes on the
subject of duty on tin plate.
