his SUBSIDIZED millet. The ground was
made ready the same day the seed
was used and was planted in the same

only foot high and looks sickly.-

If there are nearly twice as many
teachers in Trego county as there are
schools, the significance of this fact

As the result of charges Of cOrrup-
tiOn in office in having exacted and
collected illegal fees, Populist County
Attorney A. T. Casey, and his deputy.
III. B. Lleharty, have both resigned
and hope in this way to evade the
penalty for their Offense. The resig-
nations have created a great deal of
comment and will materially weaken
the strength of the Populist party in
this, one of the strongest Populist
counties in the state. Casey admits
the truth of the charges made against
him, and submits proposition to re-
fund the several amounts illegally
collected.-Capital.
Superintendent Jennings told a
Capital reporter Tuesday that this
has been the longest continuous hot
spell that Kansas has ever known in
September. 1t began last Tuesday,
when the mean temperature was SO
degrees. On no day since that time
has the mean temperature fallen be-
low 81. In other Septembers, there
have been days when the temperature
has exceeded these figures, but never
seven of them in succession. The
hottest day ever known in September
ID, 1898, when the mean temperature
was 1914 degrees. Mr.. Jennings re-
fused Tuesday to make any prophecies
regarding to-day's weather. Foster,
the weather prophet, has set to-day
down for a day of fearful storms
