One great advantage claimed for the

called for are so simple, so inexpensive
and so easily within reach, an ordinary
crochet hook, almost any kind of wool
or silk suitable for crochet work, and
penelope or silk canvas, such as is used
for Berlin wool work or needle tapestry,
being all that are needed for the work.

Before commencing his talk Mr. Jones
asked permission OF the club to re-
move his coat. This was granted and
he spoke in his shirt sleeves. He said:

POLITICS IN KANSAS.
News OF All Parties From All
Parts Of Kansas.
Conventions, Organizations of
Clubs, Rallies, Etc.
Personal Items About Candidates and
Politicians General Political
Gossip

The situation in the Third congress
slOnal district in regard TO the two can
didates which the Democrats and Pop
uliSts have in the field has not materi-
ally changed The Democrats put a
candidate in the field early in the cam
paign. hoping that the POpulists would
indOrse him
After the Hutchinson and Abilene
conventions the POpulists put Up z.
Ridgeley and insisted that the Demo-
Gratis withdraw Farreley and support
RidgeIey. The state central commit
tees, realizing If both men We're left IN
the field that Kirkpa trick would be
elected, advised each of the congress
siOnaI committees that some cOmprO-
mise or agreement which would result
in only one candidate remaining IN the
race must be made
A meeting of both the Democrat and
POpulist congressional committees was
held at Cherryvale on the 18th. and
while neither central committee has re-
ceived any definite advice as to the de-
tails of what tranSpired at the meeting.
they know that no agreement was
reached
From outside sources it is learned
that Farreley wanted Ridgeley to with
draw and Ridgetey wanted Farreley to
withdraw. Neither wanted to quit
Then Farreley made the proposition
that both withdraw and a new con
ventiOn be called and a new candidate
be placed in the field Ridgeley's men
would not agree to this, and SO the con-
ference adjourned
Both central committees say that the
matter Will be arranged in some man
ner at no distant date and that only one
candidate viii be left in the race The
indications now seem to be that Far
reley Will trade the nomination for con-
gress for a nomination for state sen
atOr.
This would be satisfactory to several
prominent Democrats and Populists
who are working for the fusion ticket
and keeping their eye fixed on the state
legislature hoping. if fusion succeeds,
that either a Democrat or a new POpu-
list viii so to the United States sen

TRoUTMAN IN JOINT DEBATE
VIII Meet John Madden and D. C.
TiIlotson at Auburn.

The Auburn Populists have at last
found a Republican who will meet
their representatives in join debate on
September 10 They selected John
Madden and D c TillotsOn TO repre-
sent the cause of free silver and then
sent the Republican county central
committee a challenge
At first Chairman GauIt declined to
accept the gauge of war, but finally he
concluded that it would be better to
furnish a speaker so that the commit
tee would at least be relieved from the
charge of cOWardiCe.
The man who has been selected by the
Republicans is Lieutenant Governor
James A TrOutman, and as the meet
ing is to be held in the afternoon. the
committee concluded that four speakers
would not have sufficient time, and so
but one was selected by the Republi-
can committee.
