A Populist Wants to Know.

A leading populist of Smith county
wrote to his home paper last week
asking a few important questions, but
no populist has been able to answer
them. He wanted to know what had
become of the plan by which the far
mers were to deal directly with the
manufacturers. Said his alliance
raised money to help send a ship to
Brazil for a load of coffee and he
would like to know what became of
the ship, the coffee or the money.
And the sub-treasury scheme; what
had become of it? 1t was the greatest
pet of all their schemes. Then there
was THE Mortgage Protective Asso-
citation" to which he had put up 80,
yet mortgages are foreclosed just as
before. And 1.-THE Office seeking the
man" is another dark subject to him.
He has found that their officers were
just as greedy for second term as
their predecessors had been. He had
noticed also that his party papers
were denouncing the scheme as base
fraud and calling their candidates to
come out into the light and put up S.

MENDOZA, July y, 1898.
Caleb Thayer will help Morton'S
harvest.
One header outfit commenced last
week
S. T. H. Baird will cut Joseph Run
yOn'S wheat.
Chas. Johnson from down the river
wandered into Adair last Sunday.
Chris Pennings and wife were visit
ing Mrs. Penning'S folks north of Am
boy on Sunday.
A. A. Cockrell will cut but two days
with the header and will bind the rest
Of bis crop.
All of the grain cutting machines
in Adair that will harvest at all
some of the binders WON'T will be at
work by Wednesday.
The dance at HOoyer's barn on the
FourUh was we'll attended and an eX-
ceedingly good time reported by those
t1at were there. The music was fur
niShed by Baird, Morton and Cockrell.
Mrs. Jesse Cockrell has returned
from her trip to Illinois where she
went to attend family reunion. Her
sister whose residence is in Oregon
accompanied her and is now here Wis
iCing.
Chris Parmenter, we regret to say,
is back again. He says his special OBJ
ject in returning is to kill off a dozen
or two people and take couple OF
his juvenile friends back to Colorado
with him.
There is to be a dance at Murphy's
barn on Friday, the 10Th. Howe
Bros. are engaged to play. Plenty Of
room for four set and a crowd from
both Ellis and Hays as well as the
country are expected.
If the editor of the Ellis paper were
as slow about everything as he is of
one thing we know of he certainly
would come out of the small end of the
Ougle. Although Mendoza has been
in Trego county two and half years
one of his papers at least still comes
addressed to Mendoza, Ellis county.
Mr. and Mrs. Will Clark from down
near Ogallah were visiting Wits
folks on Sunday. 1t gives us pleasure
to say that the report reaches us that
Will has 100 acres of the best wheat
in his neighbOrhOOd. He farmed for
several years in this country and it is
plain to be seen that the Characters
tics Of the Adair farmer still cling to
him.
Frank Eaton was over to his timber
claim the other day cutting out dead
limbs and trees for fireWoOd when his
attention was attracted to an object
hanging on bush a little further up
the river, having it is supposed been
washed there by the recent high
water 1t proved upon examination
to be an undershirt with "Doc" Jones
monogram beautifully embroidered on
the tail. About this time Mrs. Orcutt
came over after aid as Frank is town
ship trustee and he gave it to her. If
"Doc" would come down and ask the
old lady for it she would probably give
it to him; yet we think he should give
the publishers something for the
space we use to fmpart the infOrma-
