ls5 so that the three cOgnomens came
together. Thereafter, when a ques-
ton was put to the convention and
the secretary was ordered to call the
roll the convention were convulsed
with laughter on hearing "Good-
night" Moonlight, +" "MOrningStar. "
Entering into the spirit Of the mo-
ment the three delegates always voted
the same way, and the convention had
so much fun over the thing that it
continued its sitting until a late hour,
and then adjourned to take hilarious
astronomical observations through
imprOvised glasses, Messrs. Goodnight,
Moonlight and MOrningStar being the
heroes Of the occasion.
Topeka, June 25.-The Kansas
weekly crop bulletin says: Good
rains have fallen in the eastern coun-
ties Of the eastern division and in the
central counties OF the western d.
vision and in Phillips, Norton and
Rocks counties with heavy rains in
Wyandotte and eastern Brown. Over
the rest of the state but little has fall
len. 1t has been a good growing
week. Corn is in excellent condition.
Small grains have generally improved.
Wheat harvest is general over the
northern half Of the state and oats
harvest has begun in the south.
Chinch bugs are damaging many
fields Of small grain and are beginning
to hurt corn in some localities. Pas
lures and meadows are fine.
1t is expected that an international
monetary conference will be called by
Germany before October 10. The
bundesrath, after receiving replies
from the various federal governments,
stands Is to AZ in favor of such confer
ence. The opposing sixteen members
come from the three south German
tates and the Hanse towns Of Ham,
burg, Bremen and Lubbock, while Ba-
yaria, Saxony and the middle states
favor the calling Of monetary con-
ference. The only point still unset
tied is as to the extent to which Ger
many, in calling the conference, is to
engage herself-whether she is to
state the purpose as being the ulti-
mate restoration of bimetallism or
only to fix upon a new ratio between
gold and silver.
Of course, Of course. What did we
always tell you? A man may roar
and snort and curse Kansas when he
is here, but just let him get away for
while and he will begin to pine and
yearn and keep yearnln' till he gets
back. Here is Col. Tom Moonlight
who has a good $500 job in Bolivia
and he wants to throw it up and come
back to Kansas where he can feel the
wind blowing through his whiskers
and spit out the sand and gravel once
more. Once there was a Kansas man
who emigrated to a country where
the wind hardly ever blows enough to
lift a straw hat of a smooth pave
ment. For a while he stood it with
out complaint, but bye and bye he
commenced to loose flesh and seemed
to be hunting for something he
couldn't find. He took to his bed at
last and was gradually slipping down
toward the dark waters. One day he
had fallen into a feverish Slumber
when a Delated cyclone that had
somehow or other got strayed off into
that country, came fOoling along,
picked up the house where the man
was, rolled it over couple OF times
for luck, then picked it up and scat
tered it around and incidentally
spilled that poor man out in a neigh
boring pasture. He woke as he lit,
saw the moving furniture and boards
and shinkles and his face lit up with
beaming joy as he feebly exclaimed:
"Thank God, my dreams come true.
l have got back TO Kansas. kansas
