When five or six men get together and
begin to tell stories there is always more
or less lying done, especially If they are
only casual acquaintances. Going down
on the boat from Natchez there were
three or four "rings" which hung to-
gether, and each of us told some pretty
tall stories. There was man from
Syracuse who laid himself out for a
whopper, and when the rest of us were
through he settled back and said:
Gentlemen, the ship which was car
rying me to India was burned off the
island of Borneo, and / got away in
boat with single sailor. 7"
"When was this 2" asked native Mis-
sissipian, who was taking lot of mules
down the river.

Exactly; go ahead.
Eve had neither water nor provis-
ions in the boat, said the man, "and
after drifting for three days wanted to
draw lots to see who should die. The
sailor refused.
"His name? asked the Mississippian.
~Foster, believe.
"You are right; go ahead.
Il suffered one day more, and then,
as he slept, killed him with my knife
and drank his blood. 1t saved my life.

We asked the Syracuse man to give us
something else, but he wouldn't do it.
He went off to his stateroom and tied
his head up in towel.-[New York Sun.

congratulate themselves that they
did not interrupt the flow Of Mr.. In
CALLS Oraiory on last Thursday. In
the language Of the wild aud woolly

occasion to look up the political re-
cords Of the leading senators on the
Democratic side, especially those
most likely 90 interrupt him or to
venture a reply. 1.-The documentary

dSsk before him during his speech,
and there IL no dOuBt, good reason
90 believe that Mr.. Ingalls, was &C.

But the southern senators were lit
tie too discreet. They had seen the
kansas Zephyr" demoraliEs the
"Tall Sycamore OF the Wabash last
year, and there was not one Of them
willing to offer himself rs n sacrifice.
They had a little caucus OF an In.
formal character before Mr.. Ingalls,
arose and they unanimously agreed
TO hold their piece whatever the
Kansas senator might say. As . re-
suit, they sat still and listened in
respectful silence while Mr.. Ingalls,
discussed the race question, and
kesuly criticised the southern Dem
ecraey. The speech Was eloquent.
polished and brilliant, although q
disappointed that element in the
galleries which had come expecting
. bitter personal debate, such as &C.
Cured last year. That the speech
wasa success, however, and has been
well received, IL attested by the
number Of commsndatory letters and
kilograms received since its delivery
By the senator. Saturday there
we're 100 kilograms from various parts
Of the country, and more than 800

states. The great west Is yet 10

The COncordis Times makes a.,

Referring again to this subject .
might he well for every paper Ia
northern Kansas, aud especially
northwest Kansas, TO make a note al
the fact, that 10 the recent rea

lion, that the whole north hall of the
state-all lying north Of the UnioT
Pacific railrOad-Tsceiyed no rscoY
milton whatever nj the hands Of THU
convention. And yet the fact ha,
been 'ieralded far and near that Of
~ Kansas held a real estate con
vention at Wichita aud took step,
towards bringing immigration Ia

read the account Of this meeting

only half. of the state this eOnven
tlon was iB the interest Of, and
further, that this organization viii
both Indirectly aud directly work e
the disadvantage and detriment OF
the northern half OF the state? Why
not divide Kansas into North and
South Kansas, the same as North
and South Dakota has been?
Commenting upon this a coniem
porary very properly says that the
immigration convention nj Wiehits
was called as q state movement, aud
it organized q State Bureau, for 9
state purpose, because local eTort
had failed. At last accounts about
eighty counties had responded. A
directory OF one from each county
was formed, and no doubt Cloud
county has been asked . half dOZeT
times to suggest q man who will act
This directory organized by making
an executive committee Of one from
each congressional district. TIL,
Fifth district was represented by &
Salina man, Mr.. Taylor Miller, aud
he was put on the executive com.
mittee from this district. The ax,
scutive board Of the bureau In . cir.

Of the state meet ut Omahs, Neb.,

submitting to the Trans Missouri
Passenger association the Pla"s Of
the bureau and . proposition for
their consideration, to grant In the
state Of Kansas such rates aud terms
that we shall be able to handle the
immigration we expect 10 bring here
this year. The utmoIt effort has
been made to enlist the entire state
IN the Wichita movement, and n
some locality gets left 1t will be its
own fault.
