, A PIONEER STORY.
BY j. B. LANG.

Di J' b. LANG.
The following story is founded on fact
the names and sorle Of the incidents he-
ing fiction:
A family composed of the parents, two
SONS and daughter, settled in the will
dernesS and was struggling to clear the
iaId ana make them a home. AT one
Time 1t became necessary for some one Of
them to go to mill six miles away with
no road except marked trees. The men
being so busy the trip fell on Sarah the
plucky daughter. A bag Of grain was
put upon the back Of the Old
mare, leaving her colt at home. Moth
Ing unusual transpired on her out
ward trip and when she reached the mill
found it broken down and would not BIZ
repaired till near night. As it was a
case OF necessity Sarah decided to remain
with the miller's family till she could
get her grist.
, When nearly dark she was ready to
start for home. The impatient mare
rushed through the woods until near half
way home when the saddle girth broke
and let Sarah and the grist on to the
ground, the mare keeping up a rapid
pace for home. Here was dilemma, three
miles from home in the dark woods.
Sarah drew her grist to large tree and
fixed herself to spend the night. All be-
came silent save the bowling of the Wild
beasts and the croaking of the frogs.
Sarah resigned herself to the care OF her
maker and uttered prayer for her
safety.
When nearly asleep terrible scratch
ing was heard on the tree, which caused
her to scream in fright when large an
lmal sprang to the ground apparently as
frightened as was Sarah. While this
was going on great anxiety was mani
tested at the home by the arrival of the
mare without her burden. The boys soon
nad tOrcnes lighted and led the way for
the father mounted on the mare accom-
panied by the dog. No more anxious
party ever pierced the woods or prevaded
the lonely mothers at home. The boys
kept a hOOting while rushing madly
through the forest. The frightened girI
expecting every moment to be attacked
by wild beasts, when suddenly she saw
through the darkness large animal
approaching her, again she screamed and
nearly tainted when she met the family
dog who had proceeded the hunters.
The dog soon left her and loudly barking
took the back track to report his luck in
finding the lost girl. The glimmering Of
the boys torches soon Lit up the woods
and the lost girl was found. The man
decided that the animal that came down
the tree that was so frightened at Sarah's
screams was bear starting out to raid
the pig pens of the settlers.

Kansas Temperance Convention.

A call has been issued by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, the Inde-
pendent Order Of Good Templars and
the Kansas State Temperance Union for
q mass convention to be held at Topeka,
January l3, 1897. The call recites the
fact that during the past four years the
prohibitory law has not been 80 strictly
enforced as before and that the friends
OF the law are not taking the proper steps
to acqusint the new generation with q
knowledge Of the evils Of an open saloon.
1t Is stated that the opponents Of pro.
hibition are quietly sndeavoring to over
throw the present law and adopt in it's
stead "so-called wsll-rsgulated license
system" The call further cites that the
sentiment Of the people Of Kansas 10
overwhelmingly in favor Of the present
law and that its strict enforcement is
demanded. 1t is then recommended that
county mass meetings be held in every
county during December and that efforts
DO made to revive sentiment in favor OF
the present law. AT these meetings it
is desired that resolutions opposing

forcement shall be passed and forwarded

Why Not q Farmer9


Only about three weeks until the
Legislature will convene, and one of the
most important matters to come before
our solons for consideration will be the
election of a successor to Senator PETER.
There are several candidates in the field,
and we notice from some of our ex-
changes that Senator King of Cowley
county is favorably mentioned for the
place. We have mer of almost all pro-
fessions in the United States Senate ex-
cept farmers, who as a class have borne
large share of the expenses of the
government without representation COM
mensurate with their Importance as a
class. Why not vary the rule by sending
farmer from Kansas? 1t may be said
that Kansas is a great State and should
send q brilliant man and shrewd
politician to look after her interests.
has the country not had too many Of
that class alreadyP
Don't say now that a farmer don't
know enough, for it has only been q
short time since every man you met on
the street knew just what was needed
and could tell you just what would re-
lieve the country.
We have tried men from all the pro-
fessiOns, and it is generally admitted
that the country has been in a bad way,
and, for one, we would as soon trust any
good honest Kansas farmer to represent
us as any Of the shrewd gentry who
look out for themselves and pander to
corporations and monopolies for the sake
Of popularity.
1t looks upon the face Of the returns
like the Populists have the call, and
we'll elect the Senator from Kansas, and
such being the case, we are for a Cowley
county man first If Hon. L. p. King
is candidate, we are for him, because
ne is Cowley county man, and we be.
lieve' il he should be chosen he has good
hard sense enough and honesty enough
to vote ior what he believed to be the
best interests Of his constituents; at any
rate, we would rather risk him than
polished gent who would psnder to the
interests Of the Eastern cliques and lose
sight of Kansas-ArkGnSaS city Demo.

the lot Senator PETER is an editor.
Now, since fully two thirds Of the 10000
people who voted with us this fall are
farmers, think the farmers have right
to claim the Senator this winter, and
that man ought to be Colonel Harris.
He is in full sympathy with the great
movement Of reform which has quick
ened the common people Of the South
and West since 1890 He is a broad
minded man of wide information and
equipped in every respect for The high
office Of Senator. Our success this fall
was not a victory OF politicians. 1t was
a victory Of the people, and the Legisla-
ture should send to the Senate man Of
their own kind. That man, in my judR-
ment, is w. A. Harris. He ia farmer,
and more than that, a citizen Of the
highest type"

By His Works Ye Shall Know Him.

During the 1895 session Of the Lsgis-
lature Senator Dennison answered every
roll-call except three. He was present
at every caucus held by the Populist
members. He was Chairman OF the
Judiciary committee, which considered
and reported over 400 bills. His recog-
nized executive ability with fourteen or
fifteen hours Of constant application
made it possible for him to perform such
a great amount of work and at the same
time watch carefully over the interests
Of his constituents. AS Judge Of the
Court of Appeals the same energy and
power Of application has enabled him to
place himself among the very foremost
Kansas jurists. AS an able, efficient and

the representatives Of the people OF the coun-
try to oppose this expenditure. 1" I dc.
sire to draw attention TO the enormous Aggre-
gate Of our expenses.
The objections Of these Senators, like
those of the President, were based on
the amount of the aggregate spprOprl-
stion, not taking into account the fact
that all Of the largest items extend
over period Of three to four years,
and they subject to future action of
Congress.
The only direct appropriations made
by this bill are such ss are required to
continue works already begun and such
as Is necessary In cases requiring
prompt action In order to prevent
loss to the people directly or to the gov.
ernment.
In short, it Is only the usual river
and harbor bill, with better provisions
for continuing contracts in cases Of
great and important works extending
through several years, the whole quite
as well guarded as such bill can be.
No new taxes are levied by the bill;
none were intended or proposed. And
none Of the money appropriated need
be or will be used except to pay moneys
due on existing contracts, unless In the
opinion Of the Secretary Of War the
proposed new works or improvements
are necessary.
Girtb-Because no additional taxa
tion is or will be required to carry out
the provisions Of the bill. Revenue
sufficient to defrsy the ordinary ex-
penses will always be large enough to
include what is needed for river and
harbor improvements.
Se0entb-Becsuse the Senate was
practically unanimous In favor of pass
ing the bill.
The following statement shows the
vote:
The Vice President--The question ls, Shall
the bill pass, the objections Of the President
to the contrary Notwithstanding? The secre.
tsry will call the roll.
