Mutual Life association, of Hiawatha,
Kansas, left today for Salipa to pay
50 900 on the life insurance policy of R
T. Watson who died two weeks ago in

HOPE, July 6.-Everything was quiet

Also a number attended ball at Ban

The Central Kansas Fair association
directors are doing all in their power
to make the fair this year a greater
success than ever before. Large post
ers have been out for over a month and
the premium list is in press. The citi-
zens of our neighbOring towns are not
contributing as freely to the list of
special premiums as they did last year.
This is due to the fact that the two
cities, Abilene and Harrington, that
contributed largely last year will have
fairs of their own to look after this
fall. Nevertheless a good meeting is
anticipated and our association deserves
success,
1t is vertically believed that Hope is
the seat of more alliance talk than any
other city in the county, The third
party Gpholders can be found on every
corner and on every store box ready to
convince the staUnch democrat or the
firm republican that he is in the wrong

age. These same men are those who
are in need of money worse than any
one but the 81. 90 per day harvest wages
cannot induce them to quit their cleo

compartments Prevail.
The sultry weather of yesterday was
followed by a severe storm last night
which broke over this vicinity about l
O'Clock and lasted until morning. A
large amount of water fell, putting a
stop to harvest for the day and the
storm was accompanied by thunder aud
lightning so fierce as to brighten many
people. No serious damage was dOre
beyond fright, The house of Mrs. G..
c. Kreider, corner Eighth and Kinney,
was struck by lightning, the chimney
being broken and things somewhat
shaken mp. One of the young sons Of
Mrs. K. was stunned by the stroke but
suffered no evil effects. The Brady
house in the same block was also
struck but no damage was done.
The signal service report for the
week ending yesterday says: wheat
harvest is general. Some threshing
being done in the south. Rye harvest
is over in the eastern, but is sill in
progress in the western counties where
the farmers are harvesting fire crop
of barley. Oats harvest has begun in
the south; the crop this year will be
the heaviest since 1888. Flax harvest
will begin in the south the coming
week. Corn is doing well generally;
in the western counties its growth has
been phenomenal the past week.
Though the wet weather permitted the
weeds to gain a start yet the corn is
growing rapidly in all parts of the
state, and the cultivation this week has
materially reduced the area of the
extra crop"

leaned his shoes to Tascott, who had
been shot and was living In the rear Of
a saloon on W,st Madison street. one
Of the most important statements in

cott is dead. She says she knows that
he was strangled and his body made
away with by his pals. In that cCn-
nection she mentioned the names of
FunKhouser, Marston and Reynolds.
Subsequent to the murder of Smell. she
says. her husband was continually
