Another instance OF Cy Leland'e
methods of doing ,usiness came to
light in Doniphan county last week.
The retiring treasurer was found to
be S. 10000 short in his accounts and
mortgaged his farms to secure the
necessary amount His friends say
his downfall was due to thefa that
he had been carrying Cy's taxes.
When they would come due he would
mark them paid on the books and
hold the receipts. Cy promised to
take them up but never did 80. Set
Element day came and Cy left the
poor devil in the lurch. This is the
man the people Of the 22nd Judicial
District are called upon to give con
troll OF the bench by electing his man

ing around Leland and 1t is not to
be wondered at that he wants man
on the bench who win shield him

Intense love which Mr.. Stanley had
for the old soldiers.
It Ia distinctly recollected that OnGs
Grover Cleveland went fishing ON
Decoration day and was berated
from one end Of this country to the
other, but 1t was little expected that
a candidate for governor on the Re--
publican ticket In Kansas would boz
equally guilty. And yet the nepub--
lean party would have the old sol.
diers believe that 1t and it's n0mine&s
for governor have such an intense
love for them that words can not ex-.
press their admiration, which they
pretend IL almost reverence.

good peopleOi Wichita on thegraves.

REDUCTION IN CHARGES.

The POpulist legislature Of 1897
passed what is known as the Stock
Yard law, which applied particular
ly to the stock yards at Kansas
City. The law reduced the yard age
charges on cattle from 25c to 15c a
head; on calves from 10c to &c; on
hogs from &c to &c, and on sheep
from Sc to 4c. 1t also eliminated the
charges OF 81 per bushels for corn
and 81 per hundred for hay, and pro-
vided that the company should not
charge to exceed 100 per cent, above
the market price. This legislation
has been resisted by the stock yards
company, and is at present in the
supreme court OF the United States
awaiting O. decision upon 1t. The
company has moved its office from
Kansas to Missouri in order to
continue without any legis-
lative interference to rob Kansas
farmers by extortionate charges.
The POpullst party In the platform
Of 1898, demands that the state OF
Kansas shall erect It's own stock
yards and operate them at cost for
the benefit Of the people OF the state,
and particularly for the benefit Of
the stock shippers Of this state.
Kansas must control the monopollea
or the mOnopolies viii control Kan
sRs. Where do you stand.

When Lewelllng was elected the
bank deposits of the state amounted
to 800, 143, 600 and increased in two
years to $21 ,977 ,000. Morrill, then
redeemed" the state and deposits
went down in two years to
$13, $3.50, 900. Then Leedy came in and
deposits today amount to $25, 100, 900,
the highest point ever reached.
These are the figures given by State
Bank Examiner John W. Breiden-
thai. In the campaign OF '06 every
Republican speaker in Kansas was
very emphatic in the declaration,
Though Mckinley should be elected
but Populists win in Kansas, no
relief would come to this state, as
capital would never come while Pop.

we can realize what base lie 1t was?

Wichita, Kan. Oct.S.-In 1891
James r. Hallowell and w. Eugene
Stanley were both living in Wichi-
ta. Stanley had scheme to have
the speakers committee OF the G. A..
r. select him to deliver the Decora-
ton day speech that year But the
veterans thought otherwise and Sc
lected Colonel Hallowell to be their
speaker. This made Stanley indig-
nant, so in order to get even with
the old soldiers and the committee
he got up a little meeting OF his own,
at which he could bechairman, secre-
tary and principal speaker all by
himself He called his meeting on
Decoration day at Riverside park
and invited his Sunday school class
as an attraction. He had notices in
serted in the Wichita Eagle and Bea-

The Republican party has got to
OifeY the people something better on
the line OF controlling Insurance Com
panies than McNall has given us or
they might as well keep still concern
Ing McNall's record. The people OF
this state were charged eXtortionate
rates for insurance for years and In
many instances were never paid for
honest losses and forced to lltigate
Tor many others and it was long
while before we got relief. But as
soon an the Insurance Companies be-
gin to get dose Of their own medi-
cine, some fool Republican PUSHES to
their rescue and wants to make the
complaint OF the Insurance Company
n campaign issue. The best evidence
to many people that McNall IN right,
Is that the Insurance Companies are
bowling and asking the United States
court, and not our state court for
protection. Let them howl while,
it will do them good. They will
probably learn that the best way to
ret protection Is to treat the people
right. They have been combining
their generosity to the Insurance
committees OF the House and Senate
Tor twenty years and plgeon-h0led
many a bill for the peoples relief.
Let the Republican party go McNall
one better, and not only drive rotten
Insurance Companies out Of the state
but give us an actual reduction In
rates OF insurance.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT.

Road 1t Carefully and Decide According
TO Facts in the Case.
The Populist party does not -four,
ish anywhere but in Kansas, and the
reason Is that the Republican party
in other states recognized the condi-
tions favorable to the growth OF
Populism. and at once adopted the
plan of removing the conditions by
prompt legislation, but the Republic
can party in Kansas was in the
clutches OF an element that lived by
reasons OF the existing wrongs and
hence no effort was made to remove
the reasons for the Populist parties
existence, and the natural result was
that it flourished and became dom
Inant party in the state.
Had the Republican party in 1894
when it elected the Governor and a
majority of the lower House, pro-
posed legislation having in good
faith the control of Insurance Com
panies, a grain inspection law, and
to have made some move to relieve
the farmers from the extortion OF the
Kansas City Stock Yards Company
or n measure to control freight rates
and to give some relief to the poor
miners that would protect them from
the coal barOns. Had the party done
this, 1t would have compelled the
Populist. senate to approve those
measures as coming from the Repub-
llcan party or put the Populist SEN
ate In the position OF defeating prop
er legislation for relief OF the, people.
But no, the Republican party was IN
in the hands Of the same old, gang
that has lived and fattened around
the state house for twenty years,

of one sand-bagger in the name OF
William Lochren, and we are bitterly
opposed to having his place supplied
by another one.
Resolved, That these resolutions, eX-
pressiVe OF our contempt for the pres
ent commissioners Of pensions, be
spread on record, and that the adj
iutant OF the post is hereby instructed
to forward a copy to President NC
Kinley.
All know that Mr.. Mckinley APP
pointed this man Evans and could re-
move him any hour. The fact that he
does not remove him at the request OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic is
proof that the policy of the pension
bureau is satisfactory to the president.
LEGISLATION IN CONGRESS.
The Republicans have clear ma
jority of more than 80 in the house.
The minority made repeated efforts to
induce Speaker Reed to appoint the
committees, especially the invalid pen
sion committee, during the extra ses-
sion year ago. This he refused to do
until the last hour, and was sustained
by all Republican members. Four and
a half months we're spent chiefly in
idleness, while 1000 or 5000 private
pension bills accumulated Congress
met on the first Monday In December
The chairman Of the invalid pensions
committee did not call that committee
together until the latter part of jan
uary. The committee Is composed Of
10 Republicans, Democrats and 2
Populists. The chairman holds all
pension bills under lock and key and
presents to the committee only those
he wishes considered. He carries out
Mr.. Reeds we'll known policy Of OPP
position to pensions Only about
500 private pension bills out Of about
5000 have been considered by this
committee and placed on the house
calendar, and most Of these were
senate bills.
These 800 proved as many as the
House could find time to consider, al
though it has during this term been In
session forty-three weeks. House rule
26 requires a pension session every Fri
day night. Forty-three Friday nights
have occurred. but only fifteen pen
sion sessions have been held
Do you ask Why so many Friday
nights were skipped? Tt is matter OF
record that Messrs. Dingley, Payne
Dalzelle or some other Republican
leader, was accustomed to arise IN
his place on Thursday afternoon and
moving that when the House adjourn
it adjourn to Monday. 1t is matter OF
record that the minority members al
ways voted against this resolution
while all the Republican members al.
ways voted for 1t, and, being in the
majority, carried it, thus knocking out
the Friday night pension session. Il
will thus be seen that the dastardly
pension policy of the President and his
Commissioner pervades Congress itself
Commissioner Evans in magazine
article for August predicts that "fu
ture legislation by Congress will re
strict rather than facilitate the grant
/ ing of pensions" AS he speaks for thu
Republican party the old soldiers may
know what to expect in future from
that party.
In contrast to this policy we poin
with pride to the splendid pension rec
ords made by our Kansas Populists IL
Congress, and invite a thorough in
vestigation OF the same. It will
abundantlV demonstrate who are thu
real friends of the old soldier.

THE STOCK YARDS 90.


The following from the pen Of Sol
Miller, whose republicanism was
never questioned, appeared In the H.
sue of the Troy Chief of Thursday
March IA, 1895, and has reference to
the action OF the last Republican leg
stature, that Of 1895, upon the sub
ect OF stock yards legislation:
complaints had been made
concerning the stock yards at
Kansas City. IL Is said that the
shippers Of Kansas had suffered
wrongs or extortions. Whether
the charges were well founded or
not we are unable to say. The
Legislature appointed commit
tee to investigate and 1t was
their duty to do so. People who
are guilty OF no croOkedness
should not shrink from investiga-
ton When the committee went
down to investigate, the stock
yards company set them up to n
grand banquet Of food and wine
and it is said that they all got as
drunk az billed owls. They
came and reported that they had
not time to investigate, or some
other report that was 80 thin
that even the Legislature was
ashamed Of 1t, and either Censured
the committee or CLOSED over
the report"

Not q little singular is the fact noted
by chemists that, contrary TO the gem
eral belief, natural india rubber is not
waterproof Indeed since the article has
to be dried to be freed of its moisture
the conclusion is obvious that it will
absorb moisture again, and, according
to experiments mentioned by E. Schulze
in the Gummi Zeitung, it does SO with
certain rapidity.
Ii is found that rolled rubber plates,
which by virtue of their treatment are
in a somewhat compressed condition,
absorb from s to 25 per cent Of water
in two hours. When the water is heated
to about 100 degrees F., at increased
pressure, the absorption takes place
much more readily. and piece of rub
ber, kept in cylinder under pressure
of 40 pounds, absorbed % per cent OF
water in five minutes.
Oils, of course, stop the water. Vul-
canized rubber remains dry, though not
entirely SO. and badly vulcanized goods
deteriorate, owing to this reason.
Schulze kept plate of the best Para
Mrubber in water not above ITO degrees
IF, and after 2 u months it had be
come hopeless, smeary mass

Tbe EIabornte Chinese Novel.

1t is a proof Of the high degree Of
elaboration to which fiction literature
in China has been carried that most OF
their novels are tEickly interspersed
with poems of all orders of merit. No
stronger evidence could be afforded of
the fact that whatever they lack it is
not literary finish. If anything, they
have this in excess. These poems are
introduced in a variety of ways The
hero sends one in billet doux to the
heroine, or he overhears her singing
one or perhaps poetic contest is struck
up, the fine ON defeat being generally
the compulsory drinking of SO many
extra fagons of wine. Wine drinking
and poetizing almost invariably go to-
gether in Chinese novels, though wheth-
er they do so in real life we are unable
to say. Above all things, every man
who sets up to be anything in the way
of hero in Chinese fiction must be
prepared to extemporize by the ream il
inimitable poetry.-Rev. G. F. Can
din in Open Court.

cold weather prevailing, but many
operators in our market sought to

result, a portion of the advance was
