campaign cry, "StRnd up for Kansas" "
He started 1t last February as the head
ing to knights OF reciprocity circular.
The Anderson county republican con-
ventlon was held on Thursday, and the
result was that the young crowd captured
everything in sight, and the old-tlmerS
are fighting mad. Ed Little was down
from Abilene TO cheer the young crowd
up.
1t is said there Is a prospect of @. B.
Hoffman taking the stump against his
father, who is a republican candidate for
representative in the Enterprise district.
If G. B. permits the old man to be
elected, 1t will be through respect for his
gray hairs.
Frank McGrsth says that shySter law
yers drive the Peoples party wagons.
Even making the remarkable SuppositiOn
that Frank believes what he says, II
would seem that he left the party because
he couldn't drive as we'll as the rest Of
the shysters.
The spectacle Of governor Of state
galavsntlng around begging for another
office before he has served out hls term
in the one to which he has been elected
will make the angels weep down In the
Third district In the near future.-TO-
petG Lance.
Geo. T. Anthony's idea Of having edi-
torial matter prepared for the republican
newspapers Of Kansas during the cam
pslgn is probably good one, but the
suggestion shows that the republicans
recognize the fact that the editors are a
lot of lgnorsmuses.--FGrmerS Voice.
The republican party claim to have
taken the white men down south TO free
the blacks, which was done. Now the
same party ships the blacks that were
freed back to Kansas to make slaves OF
the whites who freed them. This is re-
publican reciprocity.-KGngmGn Jour

Abe Stelnberger called an "Abe Lin
coin" convention In the Third district
several weeks ago, and got r. H. Nichols,
of Howard, nominated for congress. Now
they call the new nominee and his party
the "Abe Steinberger republicans" How
names do get mixed.
A. w. Smith has always been chronic
office-seeker, and would sacrifice prin-
ciple for revenue at any time. In Janu-
ary, 1890, he drafted resolutions in an
alliance meeting demanding free coinage
Of silver, abolition of national banks, and
government ownership Of railroads and
telegraphs. Now he heads the ticket Of
a party that calls these same demands
4" sociallstic principles and "wild-cat
theories"
Some weeks ago the republicans OF the
Thirteenth judicial district (Cowley, Elk
and Chsutsuqus countieS) got into a
deadlock trying to nominate man for
Judge. They voted for three days and
adjourned without choosing a man. Last
week they got together again and had no
trouble agreeing on Buckman, Of Win
field. The reason Of this smicable ad-
justment Of the trouble was that in the
meantime the PopullSts had nominated
John A. Eaton, who Is invincible, and
that altered the case.

People often ask what is the use Of tho
abstract studies scientific men and wom-
en- often indulge in. The reply IL you
must first discover q new truth before
you can tell whether you can make any
value Of it. The valuable discovery
that the black rot can be prevented from
injuring grapes by inclosing the bunch
in paper bag is the direct result Of
scientific studies.
When it was found that the rot was
caused by fungus growing from q lit
tie seed or spore which, floating through
the atmosphere, attaches itself to the
grape berry. it was the easiest thing to
think of putting bags over the bunch
early in the season so that the spore
couldn't get there. Hundreds Of thou
sands of dollars have been saved to the
cultivator by this bagging of grapes
which would have been totally lost but
for the labors Of scientific men.-Mee-

OWEN Sousp, Ont, July 20.-In 1879
William j. Wood left this town TO seek
MS fortune in Colorado and Left be-
hind him . wife aud seven children In
poor circumstances. Some time after
ward . report was circulated that
Wood WAS dead. Mrs. WOOD married
again and the children were scattered.
Seven years ago two OF Pinkerton's de-
tectives, Connor and Wood, came and
offered the widow 81 800 and each OF
the children $3.50 to ngn general
claim deed for their share IN mine
in Colorado owned by Wood. After
signing away their property. 1t was as
certained that the mine WAS very
valuable one and one of the children
laid the case before ex-Judge Green or
Denver. The case was heard IN the dis
trict court and in the United states
distrlct court of Colorado and the heirs
lost. but when it came before the
United States court of appeals sitting in
Sc. Louis the decision of the lower
courts was reversed.
The claim of the widow and children
for one-third interest was established.
As the mine Is q very valuable one the
heirs are suddenly raised from struggl-
ing poverty to an estate OF millions,
and ex-Judgc Green, who undertook
the fight from q sense Of justice and
without receiving q cent, has been
awarded 81 900, 900.

Iron and steel filings and castiron bor-
