MONEY CONES SLOW.
State Temperance Union Does Poorly
At Collecting Tt.

The Kansas State Temperance union
is not receiving the financial support
anticipated A travelling financial agent
was appointed some time ago, but ne
found it uphill business A few days
ago the executive committee author
lied Secretary Stephens to devote a
part of his time to work in the state
collecting funds to prosecute the work
of the union in the campaign.
The following official statement con-
corning the collection Of funds has been
issued by the executive committee OF
the union:
What we need now more than any
thing else to carry forward our work
is funds When a whisky organiza-
ton wants money it simply asks for it.
and the money is forthcoming-is
wrenched from poverty stricken fanli-
lies, heartbrOken wives and starving
children, from rUm-cursed fathers and
brothers. In comparison with these,
the homes of our people are prosperous
and happy. Then. may we not appeal
TO those in these homes for the funds
now so much needed to carry on our
work. the success Of which work means
the continued sObriety of thousands of
homes 2'f

The Abilene Daily Chronicle says: If
Cy Leland is quoted correctly in an in
tervfew had with him a t st. Louis. then
ali we have to say is that he is a fool
with any sort Of an emphatic and pre-
TX you wish to give it. In reply to the
query if "any concessions would be
made the silver men in the west" he is
reported to have replied:
None, whatever. Those fellows win
take what we give them. and if they
don't like it they can bolt, that is all
there is to it. In fact, I expect to see
some Of them bolt. And what if they
dO2 1t won't effect the success Of our
ticket in the least We can easily do
without them, with New York and New
Jersey and we've got a cinch on those
states and Connecticut, too"
Mr.. Leland may find that his expee-
tation that some may bolt VIII be sad
ly realized, while the "einch" of the
gold bugs on eastern states is liable to
break. It does not pay to be either too
ambitious or too sanguine and we fear

Frank Pope. the 20 year old son Of
Engineer Pope of the state house, is
now on his way to West Point where he
viii enter the United States military
academy.
The way that Pope passed the exani-
nation and in the manner in which he
happened to get into the academy is
rather interesting.
About a year a go there was an ex-
animation for prospective cadets Some
one asked Pope, who lived in Phillips
county, why he did not take the exam
nation. He was very anxious to do 50,
but replied that he felt as though he
could not spare the time away from his
fathers farm. He had his work to do,
he said, and could not even get away a
day.
and nature kindly interfered in Pope
behalf.
The day was muddy and dreary and
he was unable to plough in the fields
SO he took the examination and made
excellent grades There were 260 took
the examination in the United States
at that time. and only 79 passed Pope
was one of these 79 and stood well at
the head. Now he is on his way to West
Point.

Hday is given to doing original things.
His wife and little daughter are in

High Grade Wheels Nay be Reduced

Toledo, June 1.-THE most important
move that has been made in the bicycle
business for several years was the an
nouncement on Saturday by the Yost
Manufacturing company that it's 500
wheels would in the future be sold at
$50 on payments and 10 per cent dis
count for cash.
This is the first break in the so called
high grade wheels and means that
sweeping reductions viii take place
from this time on.
All the makers of 800 wheels have
suffered this season from the large mum

thrown on the market by nearly every
factory that could be fitted with the

The Pope company recently tried to
stem the tide by a heavy cut in its
Hartford grade of wheels, but it is
thought that a cut will now be made in
its Columbia 500 grade since this break
has come IN the west. Mr.. YOst said
that he expects to see every 500
wheel sell in the near future for SIS.

DANGER OF TNmTaRArToN.

DANGER OF IMMIGRATION.
Cen. Francis A. Walker. president Of
the Massachusetts institute of tech
nology and superintendent OF the cen
sus of 1870. has contributed a paper to
the June Atlantic Monthly on the Dan
gers Of immigration" Gen. Walker
thinks the time has come to put a stop
to the stream of foreigners constantly
pouring into our ports. For this view
of the matter he gives three reasons:
First, we have the important fact Of
the complete exhaustion OF the free
public lands of the United States.
Fifty years ago a good farm of one
hundred and sixty acres could be had
at the minimum price of S1.25 an acre.
or for merely the fees of registration
Under these circumstances it was a
very simple matter to dispose of q large
immigration. Today there is not
good farm within the limits of the Uni
ted states which is TO be had on these
conditions. The wild and tumultuous
scenes which attended the opening to
settlement Of the territory Of Oklahoma
a few years ago, and, a little later of
the so-called Cherokee strip, testify
eloquently to the vast change in our
national conditions in this respect.
