william CLANCY was up from his
claim in the Strip. He came up to
harvest his wheat that he had on bis
old home place that he sold last
spring.
The two inches Of rain that fell
Friday night was the heaviest that
we have had 50 far this year. The
total rain fall for the month Of June
is g. inches.
Harvesting was stopped for few
days owing to the rain the latter part
of last week, but the rain was very
much needed as corn was suffering
from want Of it.
Some Of our farmers are talking of
hunting up a new location as it is
getting too dry in this part Of Kansas.
They talk Of going to the east part Of
the state or to Missouri.

Some few farmers have started to
plow for wheat thinking that early

the previous twenty years.

confer with the governor not later
than Wednesday. The governor is
mistaken in saying that new saloons
are springing up"
/ The fact is that when the new
board was installed there we're twenty
seven open saloons paying fines rang
luz from $40 to $50 a month. There
are now but twenty-three, and all
but three or four pay $50 month,
while the others pay at the rate OF
1888 a month.
The Champion says: "Tbe city has
never had laSs drunkenness or better
order than under the present board,
The fact begins TO be clear that this
| fight is the result of the Democratic
| leaders to take the whole matter out
of the hands of the law and place it
the disposal Of the Democratic city
]
government. For the sake of a little
more political capital, the Democratic
paper has wilfully and persistently
misrepresented the Republican police
board, and if that conduct is persist
ed in the city will be involved in a
nasty personal, political fight which
may end in bitterness'nOt to be over
come in years and entail an OdiOus
occupation tax without adding one
whit to the cause Of temperance in
the long run. The Democratic lead
ers have bitten off more than they
can chew comfortably, and if they
are wise they will back out Of the bad
hole into which they have gone.
Public sentiment in AtchisOn is over
whelmingly with the police board and
if Governor Morrill, doubts it, let him
come to Atchison and see for himself.
