This is the factory that became so proui-
nent as a political issue during the late

diary origin, the entire factory having been
saturated with coal oil. Is was being
operated by Clark 81 Allerton, owners Of

That the hopes of the democracy are

the following interview in the New York
World with Congressman Cox of New
York:
"Not New York state democrat or
republican, said he, will vote for the bill.
The democracy of New York stands on
the platform Of an honest dollar. This
action of the house can construe only
in one wsy-it means that the party is
committed to free silver and free silver
plank can't be kept out of the Chicago
plstform. Every democrat knows what
will follow. New York and other east
ern states will roll up republican major
tiles. I have always voted the demo-
cratic ticket, and this is the first time in
many years that I have been able to see
democratic defeat 80 far in advances"

STOCK AND FARM,

Osborne county farmers will put in q
large acreage of alfalfa this year, believ-
ing it one of the safest and most sue
cessful crops for western Kansas.
Leavenworth Times: The average
value of all kinds of crops per acre in
Kansas last year was fraction over
$40. But few states in the Union
reached that figure, and but one or two
exceeded it.
Garfield Call: Mr.. Irvine brought to
this Office two parsnips that were raised
by Mr.. Deal, two miles north Of this
place. These parsnips measured nine
inches in circumference, twenty two
inches long, and were of as fine flavor
as ever tickled palate.
Anthony Republican: One of the
farmers near Bluff City has been offered
over 81 per acre for his growing crop
of wheat. He refused to consider the
proposition. This speaks in the very
strongest terms as to the confidence the
farmers have in the coming wheat crop.
Anthony Republican: John Thomas
is building large barn on his farm near
Freeport. He has one of the finest farm
houses in the neighborhood, and other
improvements. This is an example Of
what pluck and energy can do in
drouthy Kansas. His son and daughter
are attending the Harper normal.
Garden City Imprint: A Mr.. Ran
dali, of Hutchinson, was in the CITY
looking after land. He wantS several
sections with view of going into the
stock business on an extensive scale.
Our extensive alfalfa fields are attract
ing considerable attention among stock
men, and increasing inquiries for Finney
county lands are being made among our
real estate men.
Richfeld Star: T. G. Walters, of
Stanton county, says he has had no diff
fculty in raising peanuts. The jack
rabbits, which have proved so destruc-
tive to this crop, have not given him any
Inconvenience. His remedy or preven-
tive, rather, is to kill several of the ami
mails and scatter the blood and different
portions of the body in many places
through the field. The rabbits give the
field wide berth.

mittee on war dlaims has been reported
back to the house with the recommends.
ton that the bill pass. It was feared
by those who are interested in the meas
ure that the house, having declared that
it would make no appropriations not
absolutely necessary to carry ON the
business Of the government, would make
an adverse report on the bill. The COM
mittee having recommended the passage
of the bill, Mr.. Funston and others who
are interested in it feel quite encouraged.
If the bill becomes law it will give to
the state of Kansas the sum of 1862, O12,
which is the amount assumed and al
ready paid by the state.
The educational exhibit of the United
States will occupy space at the Chica-
go exposition some 800 feet long and
100 feet wide. This space is to be di-
vided into segments for appointments
among the states. Kansas will get a
thirty foot strip of from the 800 feet,
making square surface Of thirty by
100 feet, and this space has been so
utilized by Prof Bloss as to give some
500 square feet of available space for
the exhibits. While the general arrange
ment OF the space has to conform with
that of other states in the exhibit, 80
that visitors can pass readily from one
state to another, the detailed arrange
ment of space remains in the hands OF
the state committee. Besides the wall
space for hanging card exhibits, a series
of drawers, 500 in number, have been
planned, to contain specimens of educa-
tional work. The Kansas space has also
been divided SO as to place the exhibits
of the different classes of schools in the
state in separate departments, the de-
sign being to have the entire education
al system of our state displayed at the
exposition.
