Topeka, May 9.-Kansas millers and
elevator men are criticising Secretary
Mohler severely on his report of the con-
dition of the Kansas wheat crop. Lead
ing Alliance farmers join in the com
plant against Mohler and charge him
with knowingly overestimating the
probable yield in the interest of the
buyers. This, they claim, is detrimen'

wheat. Mothers report predicts ar
average yield of II bushels to the acre
and the farmers say that it will not ex
coed 10 bushels.

The Ouestion Only One of Law.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-Senator Vance,
chairman of the committee on priv
Ieges and elections, has stated that it is
not at all probable that the sub-commit-
tee charged with investigating the
claim of Mr.. Ady to the seat now occu-
pied by Mr.. Martin of Kansas, would
go to that state for the purpose of TAX
ing testimony. He has called upon the
contestant for a statement, and says
that he understands the facts in the case
are not disputed. The question then
resolves itself into one of law, ques-
ton, Mr. Vance says, that can be

GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE
TO THE EAST.

bESI SININ1 Gan oEhNIOE IN UVuISs
The Rock Island is foremost in adopt
ing any advantage calculated to i'm.
prove speed and give that luxury, safety
and comfort that popular patronage de-
mands. Its equipment is thoroughly
complete with vestibuled trains, mag
niflcent dining cars, sleepers and chair
coaches, all the most elegant, and of
recently improved patterns.
Faithful and capable management
and polite, honest service from en-
ployes are important items. They are
a double duty-to the Company and to
travellers it is sometimes a task
difficult of accomplishments. Passen-
gers on this line will find little cause
for complaint on that ground.
The Importance of this Line can be
better understood if short lesson in
geography be now recited.
What is the great Eastern termini of
the Rock Island Chicago.
What other sub-Eastern termini has
itT-Peoria. To what important points
does it run trains to the Northwest

Nebraska points? Moines, Daven-
port, Iowa; Omaha and Lincoln, Ne

REMEMBER
The Great Rock Island Route runs all
regular trains to Englewood suburban
station, close to Worlds Fair grounds,
and you can save time and trouble by
getting off at that point and avoid the
crowd in the city.

KANSAS HAPPENINGS.
TESTIMONY IN THE KANSAS IN
VESTIGATION CASE.
Ingalls, MistOOk for a Lunatic-The
Ex-senator Created a Panic When
He Entered a Kansas SceOOI-A
Fort Scott Woman Assaulted.

TOPEKA, Nav THE senate Doodle
investigating committee arrived here
Friday morning, and at once resumed
work, Representatives Lupfer of Pawnee
county, and McKinnie of Beloit, being
examined. Mr.. Lupfer testified that he
was approached by Representative Bur-
gard of Wyandotte county, with q
proposition to buy his vote for ]. K.
Hudson for state printer. Burgard said
there was $500 in it. but Lupfer shut OF
negotiations by telling him that his vote
was not for sale.
Tupfer swore also that he was ap-
preached in the Duusmore house with
a proposition to vote against the coal
screen bill. The agent on this occasion
was the irrepressible Burgard, who said
he was looking up men who would vote
against the bill for 500 each. Although
Burgard was working against this bill,
he said he would vote for it, and after
wards did vote for it. The money was
to come from the coal mining compan'
les.
McKinnie testified that Burgard's
offer to him to vote for a Republican
for state printer was 81 900. This was
after Joe Hudson had become the Re-
publican caucus nominee. Burgard
seemed to be sounding the legislature on
the subject. and said there was 81 ,0OC
each in it ii he could get enough to
make. in addition to the Republican
members, IS votes.
McKinnie told him that he was not
for sale. Burgard told McKinnie that
he had also approached Representative
Wilmington Clark and other members
on the Populist side.

THE RAIN MAKERS.
THE RESULT OF THE RECENT Ex-
PERIMENTS.
The CrOakers Now SiIenced by Con-
elusive Proof That There Surely IS
Something In the New Science-A
Good Ram and Everybody Happy.

Some time since the Rock Island manage
ment concluded to find out If there was any
thing in the rain making business and en-
tered Into negotiations with Train Dispatch
er Jewell OF this city who is a member of
one of our rain making companies. As a
result he agreed to make the experiment the
railroad company putting up for the chem
icals and incidentals, and giving him the
use of their 1900 jars electric power. Work
was commenced on Monday, May 1, at 10
o'clock and Tuesday afternoon a shower fell
but not enough to do any great good. The
machine was kept running and Thursday
evening another light shower fell. This last
shower was confined to a radius of less than
ten miles either way from Goodland.
The weather turned cold Friday and no
results were expected until it warmed up a
bit. which 1t did about 10 O'Clock Friday
night when a thunder storm passed over the
county. This vas followed BIZ gentle rain
all night, which toward morning turned to
about half snow. The rain and snOW falling
steadily all day Saturday and Sunday.
The rain did great good in this county.
The benefit cannot be estimated in dollars
and cents, but it is admitted that the pros
poets are good for about as large crop as
was raised last year.
The farmers and business men of this Sec
ton are treasured anG confident in the gen
eral prosperity of our town and county.
The scepticai are convinced that rain max
ing is not fake and we think that the Rock
Island officials are satisfied with their in
vestment.
Now we hope that those bare-faced liars
who spend their time writing those inter-
esting associated press dispatches will take
turn at something else or give us credit
for what we have done.

We Have Got Them.

Last week the Goodland papers were
holding their sides and laughing because, as

a population all told of 1,4S5, which is in

papers? Or has that city actually gained
500 population in year.-Oakley Graphic.
We admit that we increased our popula-
ton over 500 in the past year and are still
growing. At this whiting we have reached
the 1900 mark and are climbing on to the
5000 line. Surely but we are great city.

Crop reports show u shortage in the wheat
crop OF about 80 per cent in all the states.
In fact Kansas has as good, if not a better
showing than the average. In Sherman
county prospects are nearly as good as last
year. The late rain will bring out acres of
winter wheat that has not sprouted, it not
having rOtted owing to the extreme drv

siderably better prices this year than last,

electricity materially assists the experiments
has induced that company to offer the rain

and the question of rain artificial production
will be defnately settled within a few days.

coming man in

New York politics At the same time it is
announced that his sister May is soon to
marry the secretary of the French legation
at Washington.
George B. Mcclellan, Jr., was born in
Dresden, where his parents were visiting,
Nov. %, 1865, and is therefore but q years
old Three years later the family returned
to New Jersey, and in due time the lad I'm
ished his preliminary education at Trenton
| and was eager to enter West Point. For
reasons which he never would give, Gen
eral Mcclellan resolutely opposed this wish,
and so young George, after three years
at the military school at Sing Sing, took
the course at Princeton and was graduated
with honors in 1885, His father was eager
for him to become an engineer, but the son
had no taste for it and decided on journal
| ism
After tour in Europe with his mother
and sister, he went to work on u New York
daily paper at the very lowest wages paid
and toiled on in obscurity for some years
| In so doing, however, he gained valuable
political acquaintance and in due time
was made treasurer of the Brooklyn bridge.
There he remained for three years and was
| then elected president of the board of alder
men. He is the youngest man who ever
| held the place, received the biggest vote
| 175, $50 ever cast for one man in New York
city and had the largest plurality az, 21O)
of any successful candidate there. The
| name of course had something to do with
it, but Colonel Mcclellan is able to main
tain his upward pace.
On their return from Europe last Decem-
| Der Mrs Mcclellan and her daughter May
had for fellow passenger NJ. Paul Desprez,
first secretary and counselor of the French
legation at Washington. The result Of a
close association on ship is that they are
soon to be married in Paris. The young
lady was her fathers idol, and he superin-
tended all her studies She is a tall and
| fine looking blond, an accomplished linguist
and musician. NJ. Desprez is of very old
French family They will return to Wash
ington soon after marriage.
