should each and all be willing and
urgent to join hands with them and

As soon as suitable grounds can be

all association to ask the legislature
for an appropriation to embellish and
beautify the grounds, which has been
done for other places, and this is an
other reason why we should act at

COUNTY POLITICS.

Cherokee couniy's political pot has
begun TO simmer and will soon reach
the boiling point. Aspirants for the
various county offices are beginning
to show their hands and the indica-
tions are that the crop of candidates,
like our crop Of wheat, will he the
largest on record. The Republicans
will undoubtly renonlinate Harry
Saddler for treasurer, and j. II. Abbott
Tor register Of deeds and the nomina-
ton for sheriff lies between Adams of
Galena and d. S. Marvin of Neosho
township. The Democrats are united
on James Chew far sheriff and will
put up a full set of candidates for the
other offices. The Alliance have from
one to six candidates in each township
for each county office and will go into
the fight with a strong prestige in
their favor and every assurance that
they will elect every man OH their
ticket from treasurer down to dog
pelter.
1t is three. cornered fight and may
prove to be one of the most exciting
campaigns we have had. AS soon as
the various conventions have met and
put their candidates in the field we
will give full list and shall endeavor
to keep our readers posted as facts
present themselves.

eral proportion of this amount must
he applied to the erection of u taber'
nacle and other buildings adapted to
the wants of the old soldiers, conse.
quenlly the grounds purchased by
them must be quite limited in extent,
and they will require considerable
outside territory TO accommodate the
thousands who attend their annual
gatherings.
1t has been demonstrated that Bax-
ter Springs can always draw larger
crowd than perhaps any other place in
the state, aud with small outlay on
the part of her citizens park could
be made that would give US a big
crowd every week Of the summer
months. Nature has done more for
us than for any other town in the
southwest and we require only small
amount of artificial work to make a

our ncighboring towns and cities, and
will be known abroad as one of the
most magnificent pleasure resorts In
the west.
The indications are that real estate
is cheaper now than It ever will be
again and purchases made now will
prove 10 be good investments even II a
park was not needed, but park is an
absolute necessity and will grow in val
ne every year. Suitable land can now

THE CELEBRATION.

About 10000 enthusiastic American
citizens gathered in Reunion Park OH
the 4th and Notwithstanding a heavy
rain storm which lasted nearly all the
forenoon they seemed to enjoy them
selves in a patriotic 4th of July style.
Col. Hallowell and Judge Perry
were neither of them present and the
Hon. Alex. Duncan, the great moral
reform leader of the Alliance party Of
Labette county, was the principal
speaker. Mr.. Duncan may he n great
man in his own country, but as a 18th
of July orator he proved signal fail
ure. He was entertained while here
BY social club known as the RangatOo
Guards and whether their hospitality
was too strong for him or, as some i'll
sinuate, his lemonade was "spiked,"
Mr.. Duncan came on the platform sad
" out of condition and his speech was
irrational and nonsensical in the eX-
trcme. While we do not excuse the
Rangatoo Guards if they arc guilty of
perpetrating this outrage upon a dis
tinguished guest. neither can we ex-
cuse the great advocate of moral reform
in permitting himself 10 be led away
from the path of rectitudc and virtue
by the convivial cnticemcnts Of a So
cial club.
The parade was all right as far as it
went, but every business house should
have been represented. A very large
amount of money was left in Baxter
Springs on the 18th and our merchants
should have shown an appreciation OF
the fact by donating more literally TO
the expenses of The OCCASION in money,
time and labor.
The barbecue was a SUCCESS in every
way. The meat was well cooked and
the quantity sufficient to fill all the
requirements Of the OCCASION.
Good order was maintained through
out the day and only one arrest was
made. Aside from the great moral
reformer not drunken man was seen
on the ground and taken altogether
the celebration of the national holiday
at Baxter Springs was success.
We can hardly do justice 10 the &C.
casion in speaking Of the large num-
Der of visitors present from Webb City,
Carterville, Joplin and Galena. The
morning trains from these points came
loaded down with patriotic and social
people and we were told that many
hundreds more would have been here
had the transportation facilities been
adequate.

The latest report of the state board
of agriculture estimates the wheat
crop of the state at 54,307,965, which
IS an average yield of Is bushels per
acre. Cherokee county, with her
average of 90 bushels per acre, seems
to be the banner county of the state,
and for oats, fax. potatoes and fruit
Cherokee also ranks with the first
counties in Kansas. Our corn crop
prospects have not been so good since
1852, and few more timely rains will
insure US the biggest crops Of all kinds

LET YOUR WHEAT CURE.

The following letter will perhaps be
of interest to those having wheat in
the field or otherwise:
KANSAS Cry, June 30, 81.
We are now on the eve Of new
wheat crop, which is probably the
best ever grown in the west. We ex-
pcct to handle good proportion of
this crop, and are interested with the
producer in securing it in the best pos
sible condition. Our observation has
been in years past that wheat properly
stacked after harvest and allowed 10
20 through the natural curing process
is more merchantable than when
threshed and shipped to market di-
rectly after cutting. We believe il
will be 10 the interest of all concerned
that wheat be stacked, as unqueslion-
ably, If threshed from the shock it will
sell at heavy discount under old
wheat, as it will not be in export con-
ditiOn. With this end in view we adj
dress ourselves to the millers, mer-
chants and farmers, hoping that, if
agreeable, they will advise with one
another to further this course. Kind
ly give all possible publicity 10 these
suggestions. The early crop move
ment will he heavy, and prospects are
that the of grades of the new product
will he sacrificed in the leading COLI
sumptive centers because Of poor coll
ditiOn. Yours truly,
