The Mutual Life Insurance Company
of New York, one of the Hillmon COM
psnies, has dismissed two Of its three
suits against him and paid the costs.
One OF the suits was brought to COM
pei HIM to issue a license to the COM
pany. The other was damage suit
for $4,000. This action Of this COM
pany tends to confirm the belief that
it is preparing to settle its share OF
the Hillmon claim and get back into
the state. 1t also shows that a little
backbone and nerve is all that is need.

Joe Ady says that Leland had bet

for governor in which his recommen-
dation that farmers curry their COWS

idea that he is thinking of their in

The republican state committee is
busy compiling campaign material
which will be gwen out immediately
after the state convention. This is

Kansas City Times: The Repub.
licans OF Kansas will be panied to
learn that every city in the State is
now using State school books with
the exception Of Topeka, where law
suit is pending. About fifty Of them
refused to use the State books until
use for a year or so demonstrated
their superiority and chespnsss that
the people demanded them. The
poor old Republican politicians who
opposed these books because they
we're not made and sold by trust
will have to drop the school book
question from their campaign talk

Gov. Leedy got his vacation Just
in time. He had worked as hard as
a man could in organizing the three
regiments Of volunteers under the
first call and was worn ont. His few
days work were just ended when the
second call came and he is again in

resolutions roasting Gov Leedy for
not properly equipping the Twentieth
regiment before it left home. He did
everything in his power to get the
government to properly care for the
boys, but it did nothing, notwith-
standing that it was the governments
business to equip them.
