The farmers in this vicinity are all
wearing broad smiles nowadays,
all on account Of the excellent pros
poets for large crops. From personal
observation through this town
ship, we never saw such corn, wheat
and potatoes. in any state we have
ever been in. OF course the farms
are small, running from fiv" to thirty
acres each, but ON the whole, Ran
dali township will not take a buck
seat to any locality in the state this
fall We saw number of samples
OF pota toes as large as good sized
apples, and wheat standing five feet
tall with large we'll filled heads.
Harvest will commence generally in
about two weeks and the farmers
will have well filled granaries as q
result. s#&

A TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.


A-6yuVpNAo VI tuD kt14UlutlUuut
Topeka, Kan, July 6-When Gov.
Morrill, had completed his address be-
fore the state temperance convention
yesterday afternoon, Rev. Hammond,
of Baldwin City, said the governors
talk about raising money to aid in tenn
perance work in Kansas was childish.
The people pay taxes, he said, to pay
the salaries Of officials who are ex-
pected to enforce the law. Rev.
Hammond denounced the governors
local sentiment idea and declared
that he could enforce the law in every
city and town in Kansas II he had the
courage and backbone to dissolve the
partnership with the rum power and
make an earnest effort to drive out the
law-breakers 1.-THE idea," he said,
that the prohibitory law cannot be en-
forced In community because the
sentiment Of the law-breakers Is
against IT, Is ridiculous.
The substance OF the resolutions
passed was as follows: That the
meeting saw unmistakable evidence
that the people would never return to
the drinking habits Of the past; fa-
vored teaching children in schools the
effects Of intoxicants; deprecated any
encouragement Of the violation Of the
prohibitory laws by officers appointed
to execute them; called attention that
every dramshop could be legally
closed without the intervention
Of any jury; deprecated the
appointment Of any man to office who
did not desire to enforce the prohib-
itory law; pledged the influence Of the
meeting to all officers Of the law to en-
force the law, and warning them that
any bargaining with the liquor traffic
would be punished by refusing them
their support. The platform was
adopted unanimously,
At night Lieut. Gov James A. Trout
man and others addressed the conven-
tion. The officers elected for the en-
suing year were; President, Richard
Wake, Of Topeka; vice president, Rev.
NJ. +. Howie, Of Atchison; secretary,
L. L. Roby, Of Topeka; treasurer, Mrs.
). A. Thurston. Of Topeka.
When Gov. Morrill, was called for
there was hearty cheer The gov
ernor urged general temperance re-
vival throughout the state, and said II
he had the power he would wipe the
traffic out Of existence. He pledged
the delegates that they could count on
him for support in any movement that
would drive out The saloons.
