Last Tuesday morning Hon. Frank
Hopkins, President Of the Ellis County
Alliance, was at tho depot on his way to
Quinter. He seemed to be in happy
frame Of mind over the late rains and pre-
dicted large wheat crop. Mr.. Hopkins
is firm believer in this country as q
wheat section, and has had only one COM
plete failure since he has lived here and
that in 1880. He came to this county in
1879 with little or nothing and worked
out by the month. Now he owns q good
farm, has it we'll stocked, had 700 bushels
of wheat and did not owe man q dollar.
he believed that the prospect was as
good for man to make money here as
any where. In his neighborhood those
who left this country in 18S0-S1 made a
mistake, while those who stuck by it
are now nearly all in independent circum-
stances. He believed those who stuck by
the country now would come out all
right. He went back to Illinois last fall
and left the farmers but little better off
than they are here. This is not exactly
calamity" talk, but we hope Mr.. Hop
kins will forgive US for publishing what
an Alliance leader talks in private no
matter what he may say in public.

It Didn't Work.

A couple of weeks since, Sam. Rdg.
way Of Ogallah township, started for the
Pacific coast. One day last week, @. G.
Ridgway, his father, received a telegram
from Portland purporting to be from his
son and requesting the remittance of $40
t. Portland bank, identification waived.
MI. Ridgway telegraphed the money the
same day thinking his son was in Portland
and that it was all right, of course. On
his way home that evening Mr.. Ridgway
stopped at Ogallah and there received q
letter from his son which convinced him
that he was not in Portland and that
the telegram was q forgery. Mr.. Ridg-
way at once returned to Wa-Keeney and
telegraphed the Portland bank not to
pay and thus frustrated q we'll laid plan.
It was shrewd scheme on the part of
some sharper who had evidently met
young Ridgway somewhere in the west
and bad obtained from him sufficient in
form alton to justify him in his attempted
robbery. But it didn't work.

Men Who Brag.

It is natural for man to brsg. And
frequently the less he has to brag over the
more Dragging he will do. The most trif-
ling incident is sufficient to keep some
men Dragging all their lives. We once
knew man whom Henry Clay kicked
out of his way, and the fellow Dragged of
it all the rest of his days, and he was proud
to be known as the man Harry Of the
West had booted. Men brag over things
that never happened, though they repeat
it 80 often that they come to believe it
themselves. It has been estimated that
it would require vessel like the Great
Eastern to carry all the people claiming
to have been on Fulton's first steamboat
when it made it's trial trip. We have our
selves shaken hands with twenty eight
men, each one of whom boosted OF having
been the first man to walk across the Nj
agara suspension bridge. The woods are
full Of men who are ready to swear they
were standing alongside Of Grant when
he said he would fight it out on that line
If it took all summer.

are badly divided upon question lnvolv-
ing parliamentary practice. Some think
il is proper to say .Mr. President" in adj
dressing the presiding officer Of their so
ciety. Others insist that Of course it
should be @Mrs. Precedent" while one
representing the minority contingent
arises and says: Suppose the chairman

don't either. I mean the Miss Chair
Wemas-In fact to telH the truth I know
what mean but can't tell il, (the first in

EDDY But suppose the presiding officer
is an unmarried woman, what title would
you then apply% 1.-The best way out of
the dilemma that We can suggest just
now is to incorporate q clause in the con-
stitution providing that unmarried ladies
shall be ineligible to the Office of Presi-
dent-we mean Mrs. President or Miss
President,-there We go again confound
it all, We wish We had never tackled such
silly thing. What right has the ladies
to organize literary societies anyway?
They are the weaker vessels and ought
to know their places.

L. NJ i C. Entertainment.

The L. NJ. L G. entertained the Bust
ness Mems Literary society last Monday
evening at the residence of Mrs. F. 8.
Diebold. This was one of the most thor
oughly enjoyable entertainments of the
season.
The program. in part consisted Of
music, games of different sorts and q
spread that would have satisfied the
appetite of the most fastidious epicure.
This feature of the entertainment is alb
solutely above criticism. In their &C.
QUESTION of knowledge the past winter
the ladies had evidently not forgotten
the surest way to make an impression
upon their gen tlemen friends. The
ladies of Wa-Kee,oey are not only endow-
ed with much talent but possess that
other almost indispensable attribute
which is natural and cannot be acquired
tact.
These meetings have resulted in much
benefit to their members, both intellectu.
ally and socially, and we believe will
be permanent feature of Wa-Keeney
society hereafter.

As We write, we have before Us . pam
phlet entitled "Seven financial oonspira-
cieS'', purporting to b the brain product
Of one Mrs. Emery and dated 1887. We
find upon closer inspection that Mrs.
Emery is plaigarist of the most danger
Gus type, particularly dangerous ON 90
count Of her extreme daring and utter
disregard Of consequences. That she has
stolen her ideas, and words, verbatim,
even including punctuation and capitali-
ration, from several articles that were
recently contributed to the WORLD by
.Adair Old Soldier" over the caption of
Civil preliminary to an infamous plot"
Even the caption was purloined BY Mrs.
Emery. Now we are mad about this and
have no heeitancy in saying that Mrs.
Emery is no gentleman. Those articles
cost US in labor 81 each installment and
now comes Mrs. Emery and advertises
her entire pamphlet for Is cents or two
for . quarter. As we stated heretofore
she has dated her pamphlet back about
four years to cover accidents. This shows
as we intimated before that she is no
gentleman. We may wish to refer to
this matter again but in the meantime,
after this week, we will cease the publ
cation Of the articles as it seems we have
no protection when these scheming de-

These Stamp The Lady.


Certain marks Of behavior on the
street indicate the true lady, says the
Chicago Herald. She knows how to walk
in the streets, with not too Tagging or too
swift step, but self-possessed and
quietly; she knows how to dress as q
lady can, avoiding loud colors and strik-
ing combinations. She has attained to
that enviable street talent which enables
her to pass men without looking at them,
yet all the while seeing them. She
avoids lounging too long before shop
windows. She doesn't wear her gowns
up to her shoe tops nor trailing in the
dust. She doesn't mince her gait nor
stare level into the eyes OF those she
meets. She doesn't wear half bushel
Of paper peoples on her hat nor . large
sise roee bush pinned to the front Of her
dress. In short. she does nothing to At
tract attention. Should she do 90 and
get . trifle moro attention than she
wants, who is to blame for it? Some wo-
men ignorantly and unoonsciously put
themselves In the path Of trouble They
follow the fashions to IN extreme. Their

An Open Letter.

EDIToRs WORLD: Allow me to congrat-
ulate the "Adair Old Soldier" on his ex-
treme brilliancy, recently acquired, and
great depth of thought and striking orig
inality. Anything that has been printed
for years and re-hashed in thousand
different forms by the honest reformers,
is getting stale but when it can be
thought out in all its pristine beauty by
real leader and that man right among Us,
even though word for word it is still in
print, We ought to be grateful suppose.
If "Adair Old Soldier" fought his
battles in the SEINE way as he compo-
ses his literature he must have been q
grand soldier. Mind I don't accuse him
of that but I do accuse him of resting his
oratory on borrowed plumes, copied en-
tire from Old Demo reenback literature
Of the past, and that either his extraordi-
nary cheek or lack of good sense forbids
him from even interpolating few senten-
ces of his own now and then. I don't knew
you "Adair Old Soldier" and I don't
want to but I can show you
verbatim ct iteratim the composites
you claim AZ original Next time ycu
print any ehuaion please digest Il, chsw Il
up. and spit it out and when you've gpt +
all settled in your massive brain CON-
mence at ono end and write Il up without
q copy before your syeA and don't iosast
that other men read and some rsmsmber
what they hear, and that some men rsad
both sides and arc not too narrow
minded to give full credit to any good
ideas no matter where they originate. Bnt
please don't ahiict us with any more q
this trash that We have read several yea1U
since thinking that you can lay claim 10

Blair, Shultz, Ufford and Wilson seated
in circle and with case knives in hand
busily engaged in cutting. potatoes for
planting on their farm on Big Creek.
March and Wilson were engaged in q
heated discussion as to the variety of
potatoes they were operating upon. Viii
son contended that they were Poland
Chinas while March said that a man who
had ever farmed lick in his life could
tell that they were Plymouth Rocks.
Blair and Doc. Jones were both getting
red in the face over the best way to gath
or potatoes" Blair said moving ma
chine could be used to good advantage in
harvesting them but Doc. said it wouldn't
do at all, that the only way was to send q
boy up the tree and knock them of. Yer
beck was insisting that some of the boys
were cutting their potatoes entirely too
large and intimated that they were not
working in the interest of the association.
In private interview afterward George
informed the reporter that the proper way
IN Ont nOtatOea was after the "SaratOpa
chip" plan and that bushel cut in that
way would SOW several acres. Mr.. Yer
beck also informed the reporter that the
society was strictly non-partisan and OPP
posed to third party. That as farmers
they purposed demanding proper legisla-
ton from their respective parties. That
the sentiment was favorable to McGrath's
trust scheme and they would demand So
per bushel for their potatoes and let the
United States starve if they didn't get it.
