occupies it in the cemetery.
No man is as good at home as his

When a coward discovers that he is

One reason why people like the devil
is because he always seems willing to
let them have their own way.
There are people who want religion
from no higher motive than topper

good.
The whole trouble with the Indians
started in their not being properly
attended to in the department of the
interior.
One reason why we do not have
revivals. is because so many people are

Quills are the things that are some
times taken from the pinions Of one
goose to spread opinions of another.
Some people claim that they do not
believe there is any devil, and yet they
can't explain who put it into the head

Many men who pray loud and long
in church have wives who are afraid to

No man has the power to be as good

One reason why many a good action
is left undone in this world is because

NO APPROPRIATION.


AS far as the legislature is concerned,
Kansas will not be represented at the
great Columbian exposition in 1898.
Through the Vaccinations of set of
political shysters composing the Kan
sas state senate, who, when they could
not make an appropriation serve their
political ends, killed the bill to apprO-
pirate the sum of $4,000 for the
Worlds Fair at Chicago.
An agreement had been reached by
toned sum was to be set aside, and
the report went forth that such was
the case. When it came time for final
action in the republican senate that
body made an amendment whereby the
senate republican, should name two of
the commissioners to handle the apprO-
priatiOn and arrange for the exhibit,
the house name two and the governor
republican, name the fifth man, thus
giving the republicans three out of the
five members of the board Of commits
sioners, and therefore the control of the
whole business. To this the house
(alliance) objected, and justly, too.
The house proposed to let the senate
and house each name two commission
ers and the democrats in both houses
name the fifth man; but that the sem
ate would not do. They, the hungry
senators, thought there would be a
liberal amount of patronage to dispose
of, and Il chance for some of their old
crowd to get into fat offices. and prob
the blame on the house for not passing
the measure, they, the senators, would
not listen to reason, but made a
hungry grab for the whole business or
nothing.
So, unless there be an extra session
OF the Legislature, or arrangements be
made by private individuals, Kansas.
the best state in the whole west, will
not make showing at our great
Worlds Far. And all because set Of
insane, partizan blind, avaraciOus min
compoops known as the Kansas senate
betrayed the trust placed in them by
the people; groveled in the dust of politi-
cal chicanery, forgot the honor of our
state and only thought of the chance
for their party to get the handling of
the money appropriated.
Elsewhere we published letter from
Hon. NJ. w. Cobun, OF this county, in
which be gives his reasons for not CIV
ing in at last to the unreasonable de-
mandS OF the senate. We do not hold
the house wholly blameless for the nom
passage of the measure. Ner do we
think the sum of $4,000 vast sum
of money for the purpose Indicated;
it would be reasonable amount; and
by making an exhibit of the products
of our state, furnishing reliable statis-
tics as to what Kansas has done in the
past and can do in the future, we would
be able to cOunteract the effect of the
lying reports that have gone out With
in the last few months; We would in a
measure give the lie to the republican
scare-cro of ''repudlation'' and ''an
archy' sent out by the republican press
to the injury of our states prosperity.
Shame! Shame upon set of politi-
Cal cranks who, even in their last dy-
ing agonies, stab the industries of
their own state in that manner!

VERNON PARKS MATINEE.

The Summer Races Inaugurated-The
Days Events.
The matinee races at Vernon Park yester-
day afternoon were witnessed by a rather
slim crowd. The management seemed in
no wise discouraged, however, and announce
their intention of presenting an attractive
card OF events for some day next week.
Pat Fallon, who was to have been driven
to beat his record of 2:36, spiked his foot
with a nail yesterday, and was too lame to
make the attempt. The gentlemen who
acted as judges were r. Higgins, Sergt.
Reilly and James Burch.
The first event, q harness race for purse
of 500. was called at $3.50 O'Clock. The
entries were ]. F. Furlong's b. g. Dan. Jos.
Cosmon's b. m. Maggie Lisbon and J. E.
Dowlings c. 8. Patsey, the gelding Frank,
entered BY T. G. Deans, having been
scratched. Maggie Lisbon won the first
heat, after a close finish, with Patsey second
and Dan third. Time, $685.. In the SEQ.
ond heat Maggie Lisbon passed under the
wire two lengths ahead of Dan, who beat
Patsy out by three lengths. The judges
decided, however, to set Maggie l.. back
for running, and the heat was given to Dan.
Time 2:5912.
The mare ran handily In the next two
heats, Dan. who was evidently not stay
ing horse, going to pieces. Patsy showed
plenty Of speed and bottom, but would not
stay on his feet. Time 300 and SOL.
There were only two entries for the
quarter-mile dash, best two in three heats
Joseph Kelly's Longstride and J. c. DeMar-
tins Gus r. This race would have proved
the most interesting Of the day had it not
been for an unfortunate accident. The
first dash was won by Gus F. after an ex-
citing. finish. Time 0:sT15, While
Longitude was being warmed up
for the next heat he became un-
manageble. and owing TO the wretched
manner in which he was handled by his
jockey made the circuit of the track three
times before he was stopped. The horse,
though thoroughly winded, was started for
the next dash after a rest Of only ten min~
utes. He was too jaded, however, to do
any running. and was beaten by seven
lengths. Time 0:2614.
Emma Rhodes was sent ont to beat her
half mile record of 0.54. She failed to do
this. speeding the distance in 0:55M.

ALDERMAN CARsoN's FIGURES.

He Claims the City Will Save $4,000
by Exchanging Water Works Sites.
Alderman Carson of the water committee
doesn't think that conference between
Capt Whitesides and the city council will
succeed in accomplishing any anything.
Capt. Whitesides has been before the water
committee, and nothing came Of It, as his
system, Alderman Carson says, would avail
nothing. No matter how much the water
supply at the present works may be in
creased no more can be gotten into the city.
The forcing main is now taxed to its ca
pacity, and cannot carry another gallon Of
water.
To get more water into the city another
main would have to be constructed. It
would require IL, 240 feet of pipe for that
purpose, and the cost would be exactly
$146,S80 The main ia one Of the most ex-
pensive items connected with the water
works. Another thing which necessitates
the building of new water works, said
Alderman Carson, Is the fact that the ma
chinery at the present works is nearly worn
out from long and constant service.
In reply to the statement that the city
will have to buy 1000 more feet of main to
the Sheftall tract than would be required If
the proposed new works are built on the
city's Springfield lot, Alderman Carson
said no one seemed to look at the saving
which would be effected in building the
conduit. This will cost $15 per foot, and as
1000 feet less will have TO be con-
structed than from the city lot, $50, 900 will
be saved

track in front of car
which had stopped near the curve The car
started up just as the bus started across the
track, and struck the bus about the middle,
breaking several spokes in the wheels and
soaring up the woodwork somewhat.
The driver was either shaken of or
tumbled off, receiving several bruises. The
passengers inside the bus were pretty we'll
shaken up, but nobody was much hurt, one
passenger receiving few bruises. The horses
became frightened and ran down the street
with the bus for about half block, but
were caught by the driver.
The headlight of the car was knocked
off by the collision and the motorman was
left in darkness, but the car was not injured

If the car had been going at full speed
when it struck the bus the bus would prob

His Answer.
Chancellor Gailor has not yet accepted
the bishopric of Georgia, and, SO far as
known here, has given no in
timation of what he will do.
1t is generally believed, however,
that he will accept. A former student Of
DR.. Gailor at the University of the South
said yesterday that DR.. Gailor may be
waiting to see If a suitable man can be Sc
cured to fill his place at the university, as
he would be unwilling to leave unless he
knew a proper man could be secured as his
successor.
In the meantime the diocese Of Georgia is
waiting to know if 1t has secured a bishop
or not. The standing committee OF the
diocese is postponing its meeting until it
can receive a definite answer from DIR.
Gailor. There are other matters to come
before the standing committee at its meet
ing, including the papers Of Bishop-elect
Phillips Brooks of Massachusetts, and it
will be necessary for a meeting to be held
soon before the members are dispersed on
their summer vacations.
In case DIR. Gailor refuses the episcopate
the standing committee will Immediately
call another meeting of the diocesan con-
ventlon at Macon, as a central point, and
order another election for bishop

they can unite for bishop.
Their preferences would be vague aud
indefinite In the extreme. MIR. Williams
friends assert positively that he would not
allow the use OF his name before another
convention. There is no other man in the
state who has been mentioned for she posi-.
ton who could command the support Of a
majority of that body.
