KANSAS ITEMS OF INTEREST.
A poker game has blossomed out In
Topeka swelldom, and the Lance
holds up it hands in horror.
Kansas must now learn to hate an
other man. The Santa Fej will drop
Pullman sleeping cars and put on
Wsguers.
A Kansas woman advertises for a
reliable man. She will advertise in
vain. Reliable men are not caught
in that way.

shows up an eighteen foot face of lead
ore, and is getting bigger as the MI
ners go into it.
The grasshoppers did some damage
in Ellis county, but the farmers re-
sowed their wheat in time to insure a
full acreage.

wears mittens made of coyote hide, the
gift of friends. This ought to entitle
him to membership in Billy Edwards
singing club.
Over 1OO, 900 bushels of corn has been
cribbed at a small town in Harper
county, and it is still coming in at the
rate of 500 bushels day. The same
story is found in all the Kansas papers

Montgomery county has a mission
ary in Alaska and a gold-seeker on his
way to the Kafir mines of Africa. The
latter is George Greist. He went to
England, thence south to the African
ceast and travelled by wagon 1000
miles into the interior.
Some of Bailey Waggener's towns
men complain that he is trying to
steal the place, but it keeps right up
with the procession under his influ-
ence. Waggener gathers up a great
deal of money in the course of year,
but he turns it loose and all hands get
. share of it.
The foot ball association of Abilene
is winding up its business. The team
had two dozen evenings practice,
played one game, had the members
names in the papers, got lots of glory;
the managers lost SO and altogether
the season was a hummer.
It has come out through the vanity
of the young Ingallses, who bank
largely on the genius of their sire,

the family stationary and it is lily
springing through a crown, with the
motto below: ''Though humble from
. crown spring"
A Grabbed citizen of Horton signs
his initials to kick in the Horton
Commercial against the sound of
church bells on the Sunday morning
air. Perhaps if he would get home
betimes the night before he would be
in condition to appreciate the call to
worship.
Unless the executive council will
plant that Carney tree before hard
winter sets in, the people of Leaven-
worth will secede and take the peni-
tertiary, the Soldiers home, the fort
and the two bridges with them. They
have placed an order for a block of
granite from his native state. his name
to be carved thereon, to be placed at
the foot of the tree.
The dead body of an unknown man
was found Monday in the woods near
Piper, small town 16 miles east of
Kansas City. The body appeared to
be that of a man SIS or GO years old.
The head was partially bald and what
hair is left is gray. The principal dis
tinctive mark is an artificial leg worn
by the man. The body had evidently
lain in the woods for week.
The officers of the law had a horse
thief in jail at Ottawa, awaiting trial.
They wanted a photograph of the
criminal for their rogues' gallery but
when two burly officers, accompanied
by a photographer, attempted to get
the desired picture, the criminal de-
veloped such a variety of facial coh-
tortions as to defeat their object, and
after an hours hard effort, they gave
it up.
Sol Miller suggests that the people
of Doniphan county will have to or
ganize against the thieves who are
eaveling through the country in wag-
ous, stealing harness, wheat and ev-

-four and twenty bushels of clover seed.
The clover seed alone was worth 500.
