An Editors Tribute.

j. l.. Brady, editor of the Lawrence
World, pays his tribute to the mem
ory of the late DR.. Hodge'
"a good man died at Abilene last
Saturday when DR.. J. M. Hodge
breathed his last. His was long and
eventful life and he fought the battles
manfully, bravely and well. He was
a hard working politician and faith
full adherent to his party but it was
as loyal man to his friends that the
writer knew him. DR.. Hodge was
devoted the fortunes Of Congressman
John A. Anderson and he made every
thing subservient to the end of help
ing the man he honestly believed was
the best statesman in the west. He
did a great service in holding Mr..
Anderson in his seat so long. But
Dr. Hodge was one of those dear,
good souls who took delight in being
loyal to his friends and when he liked
a man that was sufficient passport
into his favor. He was warm hearted
and at all times agreeable. He was
one OF the most courteous gentleman
we ever knew, a knight Of the six
teenth century somehow mixed with
the degeneracy Of the more or less
boorish nineteenth. He was a great
sufferer during the last years Of his
life but bore it patiently and calmly
waited for the summons that would
close the book Of life forever and call
him to his long home where the
faithful could be at rest and the world
tired soul find an abiding place. The
world is little sadder for his going
but richer for the legacy Of a noble
life left as a heritage to his friends. y

the Mckinley double quartette which
is one of the best glee clubs in central
Kansas. Mr.. Stambaugh made a
strong speech. A large number Of
Populists were present and some Of
them exhibited a lack Of courtesy that
was not to be expected by interrupt
ing the speaker and endeavoring to
break up the meeting. Being led by
persons prominent in society they
went to a length which was no credit
to the city. Every Populist speaker
has been treated with courtesy by the
Republicans and the same treatment
was expected in return.

INDUSTRY. Sept 21.-G. W. Hanna,

is having lot of trouble with his
creamery patrons. He is manager
of the Industry creamery and other
institutions in Clay county and there
has been great deal Of dissatisfac-

was last week at Industry and the
patrons were told by Mr.. Hanna that
he had had bad luck in selling his
butter and could pay but 12g cents
for butterfat, while the Belle Springs
company pays l4cents. The patrons
were disappointed and indignant at
this but things rose almost to fever
heat when the story was circulated
that he had purchased cheap butter
in Clay Center, mixed it with his
creamery butter and the trick was
discovered at the market and he was
"stuck' on the sale. The farmers
who find it no easy matter to gather
the milk and get it to the creamery
were furious. Hanna denied it and
some farmers will 60 to Clay Center
to investigate the matter and if the
story is correct, they say it will mean
a cyclone in the vicinity Of Mr..
Hannas candidacy.
