From the Hays City Sentinel.

All, there, Ben Rich! You and Re-
former Drake are not the only ones of
the sanctifed caught trying to beat a
railroad out of a fare
Mr.. Peacock is the republican nomi-
nee for superintendent up in Trego
county, and we expect to see him head
the proud procession on November 9th
with every FURNISHED tail-feather high
and waving.
John Nelson, who is running indie
pendent for county attorney in Trego
county, publishes a card to the effect
that he will accept the populist nominal
ton if the boys do not pledge him to
become populist. The calamity ho-
boes are welcome to all the pride they
can take in candidate like that.
A Montana editor who was sentenced
to a year in the penitentiary for libel,
met very dispiriting sight at the depot
as he and the sheriff were leaving. A
line of men were drawn up on the plat
form, bearing the banner: "You have
lied about us, too" Just think of the
crowded condition of the Hays platform
if ever such party assembled to see
Freese off.
a movers wagon passed through HAYS
on Saturday over one end of which was
spread a bit of ragged sheet on two bows
and to which was hitched a pair of
gaunt horses in crazy harness around
the wagon bed was painted these grim
sentences: "From Colorado" Starved
out" "Going back to wife's folks, but
not to Arkansaw, by dad" The man
had evidently preserved morseI of self
respect through all of his misfortunes.

Feeders are using more wheat for
fattening stock this year than at any
other previous time in the history of
stall-feeding. AS long as wheat remains
as cheap or cheaper per bushe1 than
corn there will be big demand for
wheat as food for fattening cattle and
hogs. This new use ought to help stiff
fen the price of wheat little, or at
least keep it from going lower until a
good corn crop is raised all over the
country.

Judge Foote, who is president of
the state board of pardons, has been
riding in southern Kansas on a pass
borrowed from Attorney General Little.
A few days ago the fraud was discover
ed and the pass taken up. OF course
Foote was going about the country de-
nouncing the issuing of passes in true
reform" style. In the loss of his pass
he will doubtless have the heartfelt
sympathy of one of Trego county's great
reformers who, once upon time, was
attempting to ride upon pass borrow
ed from one named Drake, of Morris
county. 1t is so easy, you know, to
ride on borrowed pass and if you don't
get caught to go before the people and
say that you are poor man who never
had pass issued to you in your life.
But riding on passes, like murder, will
out.
