EruIt Growers.
J A number of the members of the
Fruit Growers Association met at
Squire Beatty's Office Saturday and
discussed the canning factory project
All seem anxious to get factory OF
this kind started at Chanute. They
feel that their organization has been
helpful to them in many ways, but a
canning factory to take care Of their
surplus fruits would be worth more.
j. j. Wheatley informs us that the
blackberry crop is about ten times as
large as 1t was last year, yet the Asso-
citation has managed its affairs in such
way as to not lose berry; besides
the dealers get just what berries they
want and have none left over night to
be thrown out or sold at a sacrifice
next morning, All the fruit that is
left at nightfall is shipped out on the
night trains, consequently Chanute
merchants are enabled to furnish
their customers fresh fruit each morn
ing, and at a fair price. We hope this
association will be able to get some
man or set Of men to put up can
ming factory, but would warn them
against a stock company concern
which hires a superintendent, secre-
tary and treasurer at fancy salaries.
Get some people interested in the
scheme who will put their own money
into it and do most of the work them
selves, hiring only such help as is alb
necessary to make it go and
they are all right. These joint stock
companies, with high-salaried, useless
officers passed with the town lot boom
period.

The proposition to utilize Mr.. Bryan
as campaign orator in sundry states
and cities in the approaching cam
paigh is good one. Mr.. Bryan visit
ed twenty-eight states as campaign
orator during the recent presidential
campaign, and succeeded in carrying
six Of them, five of those six having
from time immemorial been democra'
tic states. In all the large cities visi'
ted by him, the republican vote was
enormous and nearly everyone Of them
was carried by the republicans. In
eighty-fve large cities Of the United
States, which In 1892 gave 10000 dem
ocratic plurality, the republican plur'
atty in 1896 was AGA, 900, and most OF
these cities were visited by Mr., Bryan
during the campaign.-K. G. Journal

mhe Cars Setback.

Some time back, Insurance Com
missioner Webb McNall, revoked the
license of the Metropolitan Insurance
Co., on fairgrounds that it was con-
testing in the courts, the famous Hill
man case. 1t seems that MI McNall
has few ideas of his own, one among
them being to the effect that in insur-
ance matters, he is attorney, judge and
Jury. He thinks he can make the in
surance companies be good. The man.
ayers of the company were of the opin-
ion that they were entitled to be
heard in court in the matter; hence
the clash. Judge Foster, of the United
States District Court, handed down a
decision Tuesday, sustaining the in
surance company, and it is presumed
that the Metropolitan will once more
do an insurance business in Kansas.
OF course, if any judgement against
an insurance is not paid within 30 days
of the rendition of the same, the COM
many may be ejoined from doing any
business in the state until the same be
Inundated, hut while the Hillman
case has been before the court num-
Der of times, it has each time resulted
in a mis-trial. Mr., McNall cut wide
swath for a short time.
