NOTES.


Atchison is making great preparation
to entertain the equal suffrage conVsn-
tion to be held there May IA and Is.
Rev. Bernard Kelley has written let
ter, too. In it he says he is not csndi-
date for congressmaD-at.large. How
shocking!
Hiawatha democrats are going to take
q vote on postmaster March 81, and see
what influence that will have on Presi-
Cleveland.
General Weaver has promised to make
speeches at Clay Center, Washington
and other points in the Fifth district
during April.
Bruce Howard, "prominent republi-
can" Of Butler county, was convicted OF
msnslsughter in the second degree. He
was charged with shooting Ora Tsbing,
at Leon.
The contemplate methods Of the
United States pension department is not
calculated to create any enthusiasm
among KansRns for the Cleveland sd-
ministrRtion.
John F. Willis will address the CO.
operation meeting to be held in EN-
poria, March "a. He is billed for Glen
lock, Anderson county, the 26th, Widen
the 9th, and Kincsid the 2Sth.
Shawnee and Marion county repub'
licans held their respective congressional
delegate conventions last Saturday and
in both counties Curtis was endorsed
for denomination. AS a legislator Curtis
is a nonentity, but he seems to be
fsVorite because he has no positive
record.
The Topeka Bi-metslhc league has &c.
lscted delegates to attend the conven-
tion at Dss Moines, March 21.23. They
are: Albert Griffin, John N. Ives, Mrs.
A. M. Clark, Fl. Fl. Artz, Governor Lew
elling, S. S. King, r. s. Osborn, David
OVermyer, A. B. Jetmore, J. Fl. Lathrop
and F. B. johnson.
Rev. G. NJ. Sheldon, Of this city, is
preaching a series Of sermons on the
subject of "Chrlstisn Socialism" OF
course they are political and for that
reason the church is not large enough to
accommodate the people who are willing
to hear Populism under some other
name. Rev. Dixon, the famous New
York preacher-Populist should look well
to his lsurela.
"By the way, Major" says the State
Journal of March Is to the Capital, I'VE
forgive you for being for fiat money
once; but what are you and Grover
going to do now that the seigniorage
bill has passed and a more liberal feel
ing toward silver exhibited? Going to
veto itH Veto those heavy, indigestible
editorials your friend hands in? They
don't hurt US because we are onto them
and don't swallow 'sm, but they must
set heavy on your conscience. They
don't come from your head, either; they
are not light enough" This Is rather an
uncomfortable position for the Capital
to be in, surely.

La Grippe Again.

The Temperance OF the Grip
calls TO mind the experience OF Jas.
o. Jones, publisher OF the Leader.
Mexia, Texas, lie was sick ia bed
for ten days with the grip during
its prevalence n year or two ago.
Later in the season he had "a second
attack. He says: "In the latter case
| used Chamderlain's Cough Remedy
and with considerable snccess, /
think, only being in bed n little over
two days. The second attack, am
satisfied, would have been equally
as bad as the first, but for the use of
this remedy'n 1t should be borne in
mind that the grip is much the same
as n very severe cold and requires
precisely the same treatment. When
you wish to cure a cold quickly and
effectually give this remedy trial.

WA6HIkGTON, ~. y. June B loS4s
President Cleveland told Dem
ocratic member of the House who
asked him his opinion of the Sen
ate amendments to the tariff bill
that his opinion on the question of
tariff reform should be well enough
known without any additional ex-
preston at this time, and intimated
that he considered prompt action
on the subject by both House and
Senate of far more importance to
the country than the mere details
of this or that schedule in the bill,
provided, of course, that the bill as
whole is kept in line with Demo-
cratic promises of tariff reform.
That strikes me as the proper po-
sition for every patriotic Democrat
to take at this time.
The Republican Senators are
acting on the old legal maxim =
"when you have no case abuse the
opposition" Finding that they
were defeated on the sugar sched-
ule of the tariff bill, which they
had been for weeks claiming to be
confident of defeating with the aid
of Democratic votes, they have re-
sorted to the cry of sugar trust, .
thinking to blind the country to
the fact that the sugar schedule
this week adopted by the Demo-
cratic Senators only gives the SUI
gar refiners about half of what
they are getting under the McKin-
ley law. Senator Jones is confden.

Alexandria District Conference.
This body will convene at Colfax,
on Thursday, June 2lst, and will
be in session four or five days.
The Alexandria district embraces
fifteen circuits or charges. Each
charge elects an average of five
delegates, or a total Of about IS.
OF this number it is estimated that
so will be in attendance at Colfax,
and provision has been made to
take care of them. The most of
the delegates will probably arrive
at Boyce on the evening of the Goth,
or morning of the 2lst, from whence
arrangements have been made to
take them to Colfax in buggies and
hacks. This congregation of min
listers and lay delegates constitutes
an interesting body, and the gen.
eral public is cordially invited to
be present at their deliberations,
and also to attend upon the relig-
ious exercises that will be a feature
of the occasion.
Mrs. r. III. Williamson and Mrs.
VIM. Knotzsch, who kindly acted
as q committee to see the citizens
of Colfax and vicinity, report hay-
ing secured homes for So delegates,
with the prospect of more enter
tainment If necessary.

An Interesting Case.

A great deal of interest has
been aroused over the fight of Mr..
F. NJ. Morris, better known as
"Cob" Morris, with the railroad
company for his homestead. This
is the first case that MI. j. P. Had
not ever attempted to manage, and
his success in defeating the railroad
in its claim is quite a feather in his
cap. Mr.. Morris, together with
Mr.. Hadnot and Mr.. Jno. M.
Anthony, were in Colfax on Tues
day last, and made final proof to
the disputed homestead, and Mr..
Morris will in few days receive
the patent for his land. We under
stand that there are a large number
of citizens in Grant parish who are
living on lands claimed by the
railroad, who have just as good a
case to claim their homestead as
Mr.. Morris, and to all such we
would suggest that they call on or
address Mr.. j. P. Hadnot, at Had
not, La, who has made the subject
a thorough study, and informs us
that he has had fourteen other dis
puted homestead cases beside Mr..
Morris decided in his favor.

In company with Mr.. Jas. A.
Hyde, we took buggy ride to
Paramount last Wednesday eve-
ming, to see Mr.. B. G. Dean, who
had been down just thirty days
with the type of "slow" fever that
sometimes prevails in this section.
We were glad to find him doing
fairly well, with temperature at
101, and the doctors quite hopeful
of having him up in about a week.
For six or eight days his case was
considered desperate, the fever
ranging from lO13 to 1861 all the
time. Mr.. A. A. Dean showed us
twelve acres of extra fine cotton,
averaging knee high, green and
vigorous, and the stand as perfect
as one could wish. In fact all the
crops along the river front are do
ing splendidly, and it seems to be
nip and tuck between DIR. Kelly,
and Mr.. Burnaman, the Williams
and Deans, Mrs. Deal, the Brown
ellis and John Ranpolph, as to
which will have the best and the
cleanest crops.
