story may be true, but to one who un-
derstood the fight 1t does not appear
very reasonable.
State Treasurer Hehebower has de-
cllned to issue warrants for money due
for a purchase Of Graham County
bonds by the school fund. He appears
to believe that the bonds are Of little
value. In this instance various evil
1ences would tend to show that he is
mistaken. It is intimsted that the
Treasurer is afraid Of western Kansas
bonds. 1t is true that many Of these
bonds are of little value, but it is also
true that these counties as q rule pay
their interest more promptly than
eastern counties do. Care should be
exercised in the purchase of bonds,
but at the same time our own people
should have an opportunity to sell any
good bonds to the State school fund.
There is probably too much sense in
Uncle David Hehebower's makeup
for him to get the impression that no
part of western Kansas Is Of any value.
Kansas City Star: ~. s. Taylor of
Smoky Township, Sherman County,
will this season experiment with some
prehistoric corn, the seed of which
was taken from q mound near the
Mississippi River. Last year the Mis-
souri, State Agricultural College
planted some of the same seed and the
management reported fsVorsbly, and
was we'll pleased with the growth and
yield of this ancient species of maize.
The plant is said to be very hardy and
grows rapidly, bearing from four to a
dozen ears on each stock. The leaves
are very wide, some measuring foot
across, and contain more nutriment
than the fodder of common corn. The
seed is of reddish cast and is of the
Dent variety. One Of the peCuliaTities
Of this species of corn is its extensive
brace roots at two and sometimes three
joints which make 1t hard to blow
down."
Representative Clark of Thomas
County has published a statement in
his home paper in reply to Representa-
tive Smiths testimony relative to him.
He testified that Clark came to him to
see about getting back Missouri Pa
Ci6c pass in order that he and his wife
might go to AtChison, and that at the
same time he asked If money could
not be procured from the railroads.
AS there Is no way to get to AtcbisOn
from Topeka on the Missouri Pacific
without travelling four times the dis
tsnCe, it is not likely that Clark made
such statement. AT the time this
conversation is alleged to have oc'
Cured Clark says he had already made
his visit to Atchison and that he had
not yet lost the pass which Smith says
he wanted to get back. Clark says he
never asked for the pass and did not
use it after it was sent to him, and
further, that at the time of the con
versatlon of which Smith speaks there
was no railroad bill reported to the
House. Clark reiterates his statement
that Smith took him out to his com
mittee room and offered him money to
vote against the railroad bill. He sd-
mits the truth of Smiths statement

Republican papers persist In at
tempting to lead the public to believe
that all Office seekers vote the POpu-

that any great number of the Office

Insurance Superintendent McNsll
has issued q letter to fire insurance
companies in which he directs that
they stop using Clarkson's system Of
rates. The use Of this system is in
effect an agreement or pool which pre-
vents competition. 1t is strongly in
timated In the Superintendent letter
that the licenses of companies which
continue to use these rate books will
be revoked.
The EldOradO AdDOcGte wants to

Unconscious OF q Fnct destined to be
The most important In all History.
Around a new sealed tomb had then repaired
Two sad ~disciples of the buried Christ
To hold fond Siyiis through q tedious night,
While the two Marys there wept bitter tears.
Not winter were the clouds embossed on high
Than Joseph Arimathea's marble tomb
Wherein the Cruciflcd last eve was laid.
Around II the sad twain: the Marys two
A tender watchfulness had wakeful kept
The while a Roman guard Joined watch and ward
Anxious those mourncrs four stood mournfully
In the stern gaze of the rude %soldiery.
Gray dawn was melting into sunrise day
When suddenly the earth beneath them quaked,
While on the guards befell a deadly fear.
Twas then the four amid those sounds OF awe
Saw n winged angel drop from far above
To roll away the white sopulchral wall.
Fear not" he said, I'm accents sweet and low,
Nor longer tarry. Look within the tomb
Where lies supinely yon swect.sconted shroud,
For He whom lately It had there embraced
Has, like to Lazarus, arisen from the dead"
Then fell they on their knees in prayers OF Joy,
And when they rose again. close at their side
The Resurrectcd Jesus stood. as once In life
Before them, radiant with ~celestial. light.
Then Mary, with glad impulse, strove to grasp
The hand Of her Rabbuni; but He waved
Away the loving Impulse as He said:
"Take not thy hold on Ne, for not as yet
Have l assembled to our Father Godl
'Tis at His throne that thou and l must meet.
Meanwhile depart. and My disciples warn
They'll lind Me soon in Mine own Galilee.'
