KANSAS ON TOP.

Comparisons are not always odious.
They may be useful and we have case
in point applying to the business situa-
ton in Kansas. All acknowledge that
trade Is dull, prices are low and times
are hard generally, but where are they
better? The testimony from all quar-
tiers is that there is the same want of
life in trade that we have here, aud in
many places far worse. In the manu-
featuring districts, where the wage
Garner depends on steady employment
for a livelihood, the situation is pitiable.
Mills have shut down indefinitely, aud
the laborer is without resources. At the
principal trade centers east, speculation
and over trading, such as we had five
years ago, has been the order. Debts
have been piled up, and the liquidatiug
process, which came to Us in 80, is Just
ROW coming on with them.
They talk of legislation. of natural ad-
vantages and the stable qualities of
places well established, but the condi-
tons are made which call for settlement,
and they are in for period of stagna-
ton. Neither Chicago, St. Louis nor
London are exempt from the penalties of
over-trading, and just in proportion as
the conditions are mad, SO far they
will suffer the consequences.
How is it W it'll Us? Kansas went wild
in 81. Debts were contracted and mort
cages were spread far and wide. The
inevitable day of settlement came. and
for four years we have been adjust
ing these claims. Today they are
mostly paid in some shape, as evidenced
by the falling off of foreclosure suits.
We have prac,iced economy and lived
within our means. The result is that
we are near the dawn OF brighter day.
We have had experience which has been
a Teritable training school for future
conquests. In addition TO this we are
self-SupportiDg. This Is fully demon
strated by the last four years. The.
hghiest crop we have ever grown will
yield q surplus. The short yield in ali
parts of the country creates demand

From the Globe of Thursday we learn
that ''the feature of the Circuit court is
the great number of filings necessitated
by the enormous entries for the October
term. The clerks are crowded to des-
peration, and their records embrace the
writing of thirty to forty pages daily of
solid law matter" From this we con-
clude that the day Of foreclosures in st.

Chicago exhibited dramatic insight in

result was spectacle for the admiration

THE Ell RENO FAIR.

Commencing next Tuesday and continu-
ing four days will be held at Ell Reno, the
metropolis Of Canadian county, Okla
homa, the only district or county fair to
be held in the Oklahoma territory this
season. Great preparations have been
made and an extensive and complete
premium list has been issued, aud every
thing points to splendid climax TO the
efforts put forth by the management. In
the premium list there are ample prOviS-
ions made for all classes of exhibitors.
The program Of each day affords ample
amusement for tie visitor. and nothing
will be left undone to please him.
As viii be seen by glance at the post
ers the first day will be devoted exclusive
~ to Indian MISUNDERSTANDING, dancing,
singing and other Indian sports. Hun
dreds OF Cheyenne, Comanche, kiowa and
Arapahoe Indians are already eucamped
on the grounds and the first day will be of
much interest to the foreign visitor. No
one who is not acquainted with the per-
formances OF the Iudian can afford to miss
the grand messiah and war dances in the
evening, the messiah dance being of spe
cial interest, as this IS the dance that was
held prior TO and including the Sioux out
break at Pine Ridge, which resulted in
the death OF the greatest Of Indial chiefs
Sitting Bull. The other days will be de-
voted to the more sober amusements of
civilized man.
Besides the only fair to be held in the
territory, Ell Reno has to attract and en-
terrain the visitor some of the most inter
estiEg points of sightseeing in the coun-
try. Within a radius of five miles from
schools, the largest institution for the
education OF the Indian children in
the west, consisting Of three mon
ster buildings. Also, at Caddo is
to lie found the fnesa spring of
water within the bounds of tne territory.
Located at Darlington, on the banks of
the North Canadian river, is the Indian
agency Of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe In-
diaps and it is a sight which will abun-
dainty repay the time of the visitor to
witness the aborigineS method OF obtain
ing the subsistence from Uncle Sam.
Across the river from Darlington is Fort
Reno. old and historic, aud OF much inter
est 10 the private citizen, now the home of
the Third cavalry. A visit TO the fort and
an inspection of its works and occupants
should not be passed by.
The management OF the fair have, at
great expense, secured the services of the
Third cavalry band to furnish the music
during the continuation of the meeting,
and any one who is acquainted with mill
Lary bands will at once recognize the nigh
grade of music that will be discoursed dur
ing that period 1t is meeting that all
residents of the territory should attend.

Mr.. JONES HAS A SPELL.

rt Is q Most Calamitous One, But Has
to Go.
''Maria," said Mr.. Jones' looking up
from a letter he was writing, ''how
do you spell calamity"
"You ought to know" answered Mrs.
Jones; what are you doing with it, any
way?'
I'm writing to Uncle Hiram about
his bad luck with his sheep, and that's
as good word to spring on him as any
other. Look in the dictionary and see
If it is spelled with one m or two"
Maybe it isn't in the dictionary"
suggested Mrs. Jones, as she reached
for the volume; you know that there
are five thousand new words that amt
in it,
swell. reckon there's as many there
as we will want to tackle in our life
time. wish you would go ahead and
End calamity"
''How does it begin-with vowel or
asylla ble?" asked Mrs. Jones. who is as
weak in her spelling as Jones is in his.
1T begins with k, of course-K-a.
i-a-m-m-i-t-ty-I am sure of the two ts,
I've kind of stuck on the ms. Uncle
Hiram is way mp in spelling, and I'd
hate awfully to be wrong"
Il can't And any such word, and I
don't believe it's in the dictionary"
Look under the ks. You'll find it
among the K-a-rs"
Mrs. Jones looked and hunted, then
she said, triumphantly:
II told you so There isn't such a
word here. Take some other word
that means the same thing"
But l can't think of one"
81 can. How would catastrophe
doe"
But this isn't anything about cats;
it's concerning sheep"
''Tll look it up. Is it spelled with \
or K, Jeptha?"
Whoever heard of cat being spelled
with k? Maria, I'm ashamed of your
ignorance. l really am"
But kitten is spelled with X. and
Its little cat Why. Jeptha, here's

A New amusement,

have made the acquaintance with a
new game which is now all the rage at
French summer resorts, and which is
well adapted for lawns too small to
allow of tennis and croquet. 1t is called
Coma and each player throws six
balls up an incline to a tower standing
in the middle of table, whence they
rebound and lodge in one of half a
dozen holes This causes a small flag
bearing a number to rise, the number
being added to the players score. This
game possesses the advantage of being
played indoors as well as out, and to
judge from the enthusiasm displayed by
my friends, can imagine that it may
become quite popular.

Senatorial Contempt.

From the Kansas City star.
Senator Morgan of Alabama, sneering
at the newspapers of the country, calls
them ga shiveling press scarcely able to
string together enough vitupe rative
epithets to signify its contempt of the
senate" The senator, perhaps, knows
what he means by ''shriveling," the
dictionary sayeth not; but as for the lat
ter part of the denunciation the press
will have to acknowledge the corn. Its
contempt for the senate as it is now con-
Quoting itself is so towering. SO massive,
SO sublime that the ordinary adjectives
OF the newspaper vocabulary patter
against the base of that awful contempt
like the summer rain against the foot of
Himalayas.

The Oates bankrupt law which has
been favorably reported on by the judi
ciary committee of the house, is regarded
as much better than the old bankrupt
law. 1t provides that any person may
so into voluntary bankruptcy, and that
any person whose debts exceed $500 may
so into involuntary bankruptcy, but the
law does not apply TO corporations.
Farmers and wage earners cannot be
driven into bankruptcy.
