wolf. and $40 apiece for the scalps of

Mild reflection on Providence from the
Junction City Sentinel: We do not like to
question the works of Providence. but if
he intended c. A. Kimball for an attorney
he certainly did not understand the ele-
ments that are essential in the legal pro-
fession.
OF course. nobody who is familiar with
the history of the state has for a minute
doubted that Kansas would eventually get
mixed up with the Maine disaster. The
LaCross Chieftain has discovered that Mrs.
F. NJ. Gillette. of that city. is cousin Of
Captain Sigsbee.
If Captain Henry Booth had lived he
would have been appointed postmaster at
Larned. A movement is now on foot to
have his daughter, Miss Lottie Booth, ap-
pointed to that position.
The editor of the Clark County Clipper.
having dug up his railroad pass and started
on business trip, leaves this brief no.
tice on the copy hook:
THE editor is in Kansas City this week
to buy type. II you see anything in the
paper you don't like go to the devil, he
will make it all right with YOU"
Lattimer. the editor of the Pleasanton
Populist paper. is not so partisan that he
can not say a good word for a friend on
the other side. Speaking Of the candidacy
OF Hon. Ed R. Smith, for the congressional
IN, II tr;r he
ED r. Smith has heart as big as lion
and is always ready with tongue or pen to
advocate and champion what he believes
to be consistent with sound principles.
Should Mr.. Smith be nominated and elect
ed he would represent our people. regard
less of party, to the best of his ability.
This much we say for a good man, an
honest man. and one who has the courage
Of his convictions to advocate what he
believes to be right. He Is not OF our
party, but that makes no difference; jus
tice to whom justice is due is our MOTTO"

"a rubber stamp fakir was in town the
first of the week and carried away a few
dollars" remarks the editor Of the Gay
lord Herald, and then he continues with
few more or less sarcastic reflections, as
follows: IF business man of the town.
or one who desires to bo counted as one,
sees fit to daub his note heads and en-
velopes with a rubber stamp and thus lead
outsiders to think there is no printer in
his town, we can stand it If he can. Such
a man as that, when he comes to die, ought
to have his obituary and the usual resolu-
tions of his lodge printed on fence board
with a rubber stamp. And when he has
baby at his house, or a party. or son or
daughter gets married, full account OF

sheet Of wrapping paper and tackled up on
his front door. And when he Is a candi-
date for Office he might rubber stamp him
self label to the effect that he wants to
be constable or road overseer or justice Of
the peace, as the case may be, and pin 1t
on the bosom of his pants. And when the
opposition jumped onto him and told some
tough stories about him. he could just
stamp another label saying 1t was a blamed
lie, and pin that on, too. Come to think of
1t, there is no end Of uses that a rubber
stamp might be put to in the hands of an
enterprising and economical man. Great Is
the rubber stamp. But what we started out
to say is that the Gaylord folks paid too
much for their stamps. If they had called
at this office we would have given them
the catalogues of houses which furnish a
great deal better quality Of stamp at about
one-third the price they paid the fakir.'

A tramp who had just had some ex-
perience himself was seen making few
hieroglyphics on a railroad bridge near
Frankfort the other day. which being in
terpreted by an individual familiar with
tramp lore were found to be warning to
his fellow tourists to keep shy of that town.
1t had a rock pile and was no fit place for
gentlemen who had a proper pride In
their profession.

Amid the laud clamor Of the jingoes and
the demands that the dogs of war be turned
loose, Colonel Thomas Benton Murdock
rises calmly to remark that no army can
fight without grease. and that, If the
scrap between the United States and Spain
does come off, the Kansas farmer who has
stock of hogs will have better thing
than the owner of a mine in Klondike
