The alliance headquarters have moved
away from Topeka TO Kansas City. From
what appears, it seems, in the critical as
pect of political matters that they were
afraid the politicians might steal them.

Parker at prohibition meeting advocated
force in dealing with the Original pack

Dickinson county rather leads the pro- /
cession with a maid of II, pretty and |
graceful, who has driven the seIf-binder |
over POO acres for her father and taken /
care of the four horses herself. During I
the spring she helped to put in 120 acres of /
corn, did the work for family of seven |
persons, went to ten dances and tried |
twice to elope. She expects now to start /
in the fall for Africa as a missionary. This /
last is clearly a mistaken idea. Kansas /
wants rustlng females like this one TO re-
main. From the appearance of things |

soon whose common source Of reyen ne /
will play out and they will need somebody /
to support them.
