A former Sherman county girl, but
who has been living for some time at
Norton, is reported as tramping back
to her old home here. Her name is
May Spriggs, and while no one here
appears to know her, she shows COM
mendable judgment in her choice Of
location.
The first steamboat ever launched in
northwestern Kansas dropped into the
Rock Island pond at Agra last week.
An enterprising man of that hamlet
rugged up a boat that would hold about
80 people and attached d small engine
to it. Since then he has conducted a
continual excursion and is the most
popular person in the town.
Ye gods! Does Billy Mckinley mean
TO tell US that free silver would not
mean that it would be acquired with
out labor? What a revelation! How
the people have been deceived and pal
tered with by this epigTam! What a
kindergarterian intellect he must have
to so readily draw such logical con-
clusiOn. Wonderful, isn't it?
The man who is supposed to have
caused the fire which destroyed the
Almena PlaindeaIey is lying in jail at
present. Anyone mean enough to do
such a thing to get even with a half
starved editor would be guilty, under
other circumstances, of any crime on
calendar, and should be locked up for
the rest Of his natural days and then
hung.
The funeral of Mrs. D. F. Atkinson
was held last week Thursday afternoon
at the Methodist church, the services
being conducted by Rev. Shakeiford.
Quite a number of people assembled to
pay the last tribute to the stranger
dead, and a good many carriages we're
in the procession that followed the re-
mains to the North GOodland cemetery
where the interment was made.
The Kansas G. A. R. officials have
done a very little thing in emitting Mr..
Bryan's name from the programme of
their state reunion. They, have how
ever, put Mckinley down for a speech
when it is publically known that he has
refused to be present. If the G. a. r.,
as an organization, wishes to be con-
sidered non-partisan they should at
once call in the programmes issued and
put out new one that conforms to the
facts as to who will speak aud who will
not.
\ New York City man of God de-
! liYered a political lecture to his flock
Sunday which consisted mainly of
abuse Of Mr.. Bryan. One-h8lf the
audience got up in disgust and left the
sanctuary, and the balance stayed and
! upheld the sacredness of the day by
kissing, hOOting and calling the preach
eF a liar. At one time it appeared as
though the police would have to be
called in before the benedictiOn could
be said, but finish was made without
! blOodshed.-
The latest detection from the Nc
Kinley forces is the Union Veterans
league of Canton, o., McKinley's own
town. The league numbered ~ men,
! bers and at a recent meeting not only
voted to support free silver but to vote
and work for the election Of Bryan.
To this end they journeyed to Cleve-
land and headed the Bryan procession
the day the silver champion spoke in
, that city. Surely, the silver cause, even
in McKinley's own home, is dying eX.
ceedingly hard
a Kansas City railroad president has
at last solved the problem of low prices.
= He has figured it out that the Ameri-
can people do not eat enough nor wear
enough clothes; that if two loaves of
bread we're consumed where one is now,
land he thinks the people could do it
; without an undue expansion Of their
waistbands) it would find use for exact
lY 100000 more bushels of wheat per
annum; that if they wore two pair of
shoes where they now wear one an
/ additional market for 100000 of
F shoes would be established; that other
things would be affected in the same
proportion, and consequently prices OF
all commodities must rise. How per
| verse and cOntumaciOus the American
people are, to be sure. Just think of it.
Starving themselves, and going without
sufficient clothing, to the malicious end
3 that the price of their products shall
}, fall, and prosperity be retardedI The
law should be eDvoked to force these
TecalGitrants to consume more and thus
promote better times. It might be IL
I order, however, for Mr.. Railroad Presi
