The Filipinos are named Fillipe

KANSAS STATE ELECTION.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. &c. The Tween.
tieth Kansas regiment, now stationed
at San Francisco, and soon to start for
Manila, will have chance to vote for
state officers and congressman, but the
polling place is likely to be on ship
board near the middle Of the Pacific
ocean. Secretary Of State Bush is
preparing the ballots, which will be
sent to Col. Funston at San Francisco.
The state officers did not want to take
chances on sending the ballots to Ma
Mia, fearing that the regiment might
not arrive there by election day. With
the ballots In possession OF COL Fnns-
ton, the soldiers may vote wherever
they may be on election day.

Just q Little Hope.

This summer that comes in the
autumn is like a suit Of winter clothes
in August-unseasonable and thor.
oughly disagreeable. Two months
ago these days Of heat and humidity
would have been tolerated, but now
they are almost past sufferance. Per
sons who are tired and worn with the
long oppressive days Of the hot season
are in lpoor condition mentally and
physically now to undergo a second
summer, almost as warm, at time
when they expect air that is bracing
end refreshing. Consequently there
is not only great discomfort from
heat, but a considerable amount o.
sickness. The signal service gives !
little hope for tomorrow, predicting
that it will be cooler though contin
uing fair.

had II 900 life insurance in the Kan
sas Mutual which he had carried
about 20 months. 1t is believed that
it will be paid. His affairs were in a
prosperous condition but perhaps he
was not making as much money as he
thought he ought to. There is reas-

had little to dc with his suicide and
the real cause of the act will probably
never be known. j. C. Witt has been

is spending in the district clerks office
looking up the records. He is pre-.
pairing comparison OF his wonderful
administration with that of S. S,
Smith and it is to appear simultane'
ously like general and spontaneous
burst Of fireworks in all the Pop
papers. Well, not all, maybe, for
one editor who has defended him told
him plainly that he would publish it
only when paid for and under the
heading advertisement"
Roberts advertisement, written by
himself, should not fail to give all the
facts. For instance:
Please make a comparison Of the
number of convictions secured COM
pared with the number of cases
brought in both terms.
Please give Mr.. Smith credit for all
grand jury cases, he had nothing to
do with bringing them. The grand
jury ordered them.
Please remember that the most
costly case in bis term was made so
by second trial allowed by our Pop.
ulist Judge Mahan's blunder in refer
ring to the fact that the mans wife
did not testify.
Please mention the number of cases
you have brought and have dismissed
because you found you had no case
Please mention the number Of cases
you have brought that should have
been tried in Saline or other counties
and tell us who paid the costs.
Please mention how many times
you have tried to have the costs in
criminal case taxed to the county
when the jury decided that the case
was brought without probable
cause" and adjudged that the prose-
cutting witness should pay them.
There are several other things that
could proftably be put in Roberts
advertisement but these will do for
this week and a supplement can be
issued later,
