sometimes weary myself aud, no
doubt, always weary many Of your
readers laudiug Kansas and her ways
and means. Particularly have had oc-
casion to exalt the short-grass section
and her prodigies of earth, air and water,
and the sublime independence of her in
habitants. But such miracle has oc-
CURED that it forces itself upon our at
tention despite natural reticence. A few
years ago it was proclaimed from the
campaign stump by our misrepresenta-
tives in Congress that our farmers were
in such state of abject slavery, destitu-
ton and want that they were ready and
willing to trade their honor and their
wives to barter their virtue for bread!
A few days ago number of these same
farmers, having hauled their wheat to
Kinsley to market, and not liking the
prices offered, actually turned up the
remnant of nose left after years Of attri-
ton upon the plutOcrat grindstone, re-
versed their teams and hauled the grain
back home and stored it there for prices
more agreeable to their fancy. Now,
where else on earth could such change
have taken place? Only four or five
years from a condition more dreadful
than beggary to domineering indepen-
dence!
don't see any very serious obstacle in
the coming election, but if any exists it
will have been removed by the official

Appealed to the Congregation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Alice
Hartley, who killed Senator Foley at
Reno several years ago, created 8 great
deal of excitement in Emanuel Baptist
Church last night. At the conclusion
of Rev. J. George Gibson's sermon she
dramatically declared that she had a
message from God to the effect that
Durrant's lie should be saved and it
was the duty of the congregation to
save him. Rev. Gibson who was Dur
rants paster and upon whom DurranL's
counsel attempted to fasten the crime,
refused to see the condemned mans
mother when she called with mes
sage from her son asking the preacher
to tell ali ne knew about the murders

err of President Mckinley, died at 2:3O
o'clocl; yesterday morning at her home
in Canton, Ohio.
She was stricken with paralysis twelve

Abuer Allison, Mrs. McKinley's father,
was born, and where he married Ann
Campbell, OF Scotch. German descent.
