| A ST. Joe race FLY is named "Atchi.
son Girl" That is an aspersion on
Atchison, by implication:-of course
the owner of the tilIy expects her to be
fast.
Lon Cobb of Parsons, Kan, formerly a
gambler of Atchison, won prize fight
at Parsons Friday night, knocking his
man out in the ninth round. The fight
was for 81, 800 4 side.
Colonel A. NJ. Flory, prominent and
highly honored citizens of Emporia,
died at his home in that place last Satur-
day. Colonel Flory had many friends
in Kansas who will learn of his death
with deep regret.
The Republican says there has never
been in the history of Emporia such a
scarcity of houses for rent. The fact
that there are so many improvements
being made, and that there are no vacant
houses, is good evidence that Emporia is
progressing.
Topeka has colored citizen named
Buck Sawyer who is called Sawbuck,
for short. There is nothing in name liz
his case, though, for instead of saving
wood he has run his jaw against the
peace of the community until it has cost
him roundly in the courts.
Hutchinson News: w. E. Hutchinson
has twenty-ive-acre field of alfalfa on
his farm from which he has cut seventy
five tons Of hay this year, and there are
at least two tons per acre on the ground
now which will be ready to cut in very
few days. The land was seeded in 1890.
This years crop is worth at least $50 per
acre.
The long promised damage suits
against the board of metropolitan police
commissioners, Chief of Police Lindsay,
Captain Gish and Officer Steele OF To-
pela-growing out of the raid on the
Topeka club and the arrest of several of
It's members-have at last been COM
menced in the district court, The petit
tons in four cases were filed last
evening, with the intimation
that several others would he
filed very soon. The amount of dam
ages prayed for by each OF the plain
tiffs is $40 900, and they have engaged
as counsel Rossington, Smith s. Dallas;
Douthitt, Jones & Mason, Eugene Ha-
gan and a. L. Williams.
The Monitor says a Fort Scott boy
cured his mare from baking by simply
tying her to the fence when and where
she stopped and letting her stay there
until evening without food or water.
This is equal to the exploit of the Ell
Dorado man and his dog. The owner

gent and obedient his dog was, and to
demonstrate it told the dog, that was

PRETTY MUCH ALL ANARCHISTS.

From the lola Register.
Governor Lewelling said in his inaug.
ural address: 'The citizen is above the
! state. When a state fails to make its
subjects contented and prosperous and
happy. they are absolved from their
allegiance to it.
Assistant Governor Frank Doster has
repeatedly declared: "The rights Of the
user of property are paramount to those
OF the owner"
Second Assistant Governor G. c. Glenn
ems. in a recent speech to the striking
miners, said: ''Tie operators Of these
mines are sneaking traitors. They have
no right to this coal which your labor
has brought from the bowels of the earth.
The coal was put there by the Almighty
and the men whose toll makes it available
are the only ones who have a legal right
to 1t.
The chairman of the Butler county
Peoples party convention said ''The
Socialists of Germany and the Nilihists
of Russia find their counterpart in the
Peoples party of America. We must
win this battle by the ballot if we can,"
he shouted, "but if we fail to do SO l

State Senator Sem, in a speech in the
senate last winter, said, referring to the
contest for the seat Of the senator from
this district: 81 do not propose to be

When the trial which was to determine
the legality of the house of representa-
tives was pending, a resolution was IN

The secretary of the treasury calculates
that it would cost the government $112,-
S66, 331 to recon the silver money now
on hand and in circulation if the ratio is
changed from is, to 90 to 1. This
would be clear loss to the government
of that amount, less the difference be-
tween 49, cents, the average cost of the
silver bullion now held by the govern
ment, and 70 cents, the present market
price. But, while this large sum would
be lost, it would necessarily bring a con-
siderable sum of money, additional to
the present volume, into circulation.
Thus The proposition presents point of
vantage that may be used as an argu-
ment both for and against increasing the
ratio.

The reason is not far TO seek. Good
horses come solely from selection and
breeding. But, you will object, there
was no breeding TO produce the bronco,
of whose wonderful qualities you have
heretofore told US y the contrary,
there was natural selection of the very

Moorish horses carried by the SpaniarGs

could scarcely have done better By tho
