With good prices for corn, wheat,
oats, hay, cattle, horses, hogs and
in fact everything farmer has to
sell. Kansas, an agricultural state,
should show its appreciation of the
same this fall, by rolling up an old
time republican majority and she
will do it. Hundred of men who

These fellows were honest IN their
beliefs; many of them got their
inspiration from "vascillating" re-
publican statesmen; these fellows
went wrong; many of them did it
quietly, believing they were voting
in the interest of their homes and
fresides; they made no noise about
t.; they went quietly to the polls, and
as quietly voted ticket they now
see was a mistake; they are not
any more noise on thelr |
than they did on their exit;
they will go 20 the polls this fall as
quietly as before and will, by their
ballots, vote for a continuance of

1t is lots of fun to talk to a cal
amityite. He has almost run out
of argument, and a Calam, without
an argument is like a ship without
sail. They were slow to admit
that times were better, but now
that all farm products are higher
than they were year ago, and even
the reformers who have grown old
in the harness cannot help admit
ing the fact, they are Consoling
themselves with the suggestion that
1t can't last. Lots of old buffers
who have a roll of bills in their
Jeans for the first time in ten years
and are paying cash for groceries
would be pleased to return to Cleve-
land times in order to be able to say
"where is your prosperity" 1t is too
bad, but they may pull through.
Fellows who have been lodging the
grocer for years, can now look him
square in the face and do not have
to turn in at some store door
when meeting him on the street.
You can hardly find farmer, who
has not some money in his wallet; if
he has a few calves for sale he puts
a price on them and if you don't
want them, all right he does not
have to sell them to meet his inter
est, as he did few short years ago,
These farmers 60 to sales and pay
cash for almost all they buy. At
the Hubbard sale near Kimball last
week more than seventy-fve Fer
cent. of the stuff sold for cash. In
stead of paying interest, the farmer
is collecting it in the way of dis
counts. The Kansas farmer is ALL
right and while prosperity was fore
ed on a large per cent. of Kansas
farmers, they have it for it is writ

When making up your mind as to
your choice for congressman from
this district, don't forget tina S. S.
Kirkpatrick, has had one term in
said office; that his record during
the two years he was at Washington
was exceptionally good; thatno con-
grressman ever worked harder for
the interest of the old soldiers than
he did, and his work was unusually
successful. OF course it takes a
new member some time to learn the
ropes, and in this Mr.. X. would
have an advantage over almost any
one that might be named, as he
would take rank and be Of use to
his district from the start.

In discussing the congressional
situation with the different commit
teeman at Erie, Monday, we found
the sentiment almost unanimous in
favor of the denomination of Hon.
S. S. Kirkpatrick as our candidate
for congressman from this district.
1t was argued that Mr.. K. would
at once tpke rank among the. repre-
sentatives and could do much more
for his constituents than new man.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick is especially strong
among the old soldiers who appre-
cate his efficient work in their be

4 lfalfa.

n Farmers have finally begun
systematic and scientific farming;
they find it pays better than the old
way; they have also come to the
conclusion that almost any old kind
of farming pays better than politics.
There will be a larger acreage of
Alfalfa sown in Neosho-co., this
year than ever before; Alfalfa is no
longer an experiment; it has been
tried and found to be one of the
strongest Kansas crops; those who
have tried it. claim that you can
feed from two to three times as
much stock on a given amount OF
land sown to Alfalfa, than to any
other crop. Farmers are also SOW
ing small patches of rye Tor pasture;
it makes excellent pasture for all
kinds of stock, and is good all win
ter, and continues far into the spring.
After prairie grass comes the rye
can be turned under and the ground
planted to corn or millet.

Won't Go With WOrthinetO,

DR.. Edward Dolan, who has been
chosen captain of the Worthington
company of volunteers, came over to
Adrian Tuesday evening to consult
with the boys here regarding their
going in with the W,orthington boys
to fill the number required for a full
company. His visit was unsatisfac-
tory. The Adrian volunteers insisted
upon promise of their share of the
company officers, which promise he
was of course unable to make, and
they then decided to stay out and
organize company of their own, to
get in on the next call, if another
comes. There is now no certainty
that the Worthington company will
have an opportunity to 60 under the
paesent call, but if any company
goes from Mobiles county, the county
seat boys will be the ones named.
Now, after all has been said and
done, the Guardian will be pardoned
for saying that it does not believe the
actiontaksen by the Adrian boys.
exhibited either patriotism or wisdom.
In case of this kind, where the de-
Tense of our country's flag is the OBJ
ject and purpose of all loyal citizens,
sectional prejudice-the old political
rivalry and animosity-has no place,
and should be relegated to the rear.
1t is true that it would be very nice
if Adrian could send a full company
to the front, but this she positively
cannot do on the present call, and it
is doubtful if it can be accomplished
should another call come. This does
not sound pleasant, but it is fact
nevertheless. Adrian is town with.
out great many hundred available
men, and if the neighboring towns,
such as Ellsworth and St. Kilian, ex-
hibit the same petty jealousy toward
her that she has shown to Worthing-
ton in the present instance, it would
never be possible for Adrian to secure
able-bodied men enough to make up
a company. The call comes-Wor-
thington is named by the governor
to furnish company-she asks Ad.
rian to furnish her proportionate
number of men-old sores are opened
and old fueds revived, and Adrian
scorns the PROPOSE ton. Is there any

MONEY RAISED

R,sising the Figures. :s "

Monday night officer Randall and
F. D. Lindquist of Dundee, brought
Louis Ni.nelfrot here, charged with
passing m@ney that had been raised
iu valuation. This person sent anoth-
or person in the saloon of Louis John
son, Dundee, to buy pint OF whisky
and gave the messenger bill to pay
for it, he returned with the goods aud
the change. The saloon keeper af-
terwards discovered the value of the
bill had been changed.
The county attorney has in his pos
session two dollar silver certificate
aud five dollar bill raised to ten dol
lars, by the figures, of advertisin & mat
ter containing the representative of
money on one side and the ad on the
other, being cut out and pasted on
the genuine aud the word "ten" past
cd across one end. The bills are
badly torn, and by using a number
of patches, the operator has been as.
sisted in fixing them 80 that the
change is not easily detected. It is
not known how many of these bills
have been put in circulate or how
many there are still out. The priso-
ner is now confined in the county Jail
awaiting the arrival OF the govern
ment officers who are expected on
every train.

patriotism there? Do the boys who
60 to the front go to fight for Adrian,
or Worthington, or the county or
state, Or do they bear arms for their
country-the United States of Amer
ica? The rejection of the only op-
portunity to go to the front that Ad-
RAMS volunteers will likely ever have,
for no better reason than the rivalry
of sister towns in the same county,
would convey the idea that Adrian's 8
volunteers are not so anxious to do
battle for their country as they have
claimed to be. Mind, we do not say
that this is so-we merely say that it
might look that way. 1t is not so.
Adrian's volunteers are as loyal and
patriotic as any under the sun, but
we do not believe their action was
we'll advised. Old jealousies should
not cut any figure in the matter, and
it is to be sincerely regretted that
they have been dragged into it. The
Guardian respects the right of those
gentlemen who advised such action
to their opinion, but it believes the
opinion based upon untenable
grounds-and the Guardian claims
further to be just as good and loyal
a defender Of Adrian as any of them
There is such IA thing as carrying po
litical rivalry to extremes, and this
instance, in our humble opinion, is
one of those occasions-Adrian Guar
