Along the Kansas Nile.

| The sentence of Duncan for five years
for desecrating a grave is ridiculous.
President Mckinley will reduce the term,
it is said
Ed Little is TO be courtmartialed and
shot for disobeying Fred. Funston's or
ders. Why, oh, why did Gomez ever start
the rebellion?
Seriously. it would have been murder in
the first degree to have had two bottle
fed infants like Funston and Little, led
Kansas boys into battle.
Senator Sheldon says that the Populist
legislature wanted to abolish the metro
poIitan police system, but Leedy person
ally iobbied against the proposition.
Senator Sheldon, senator from Leedy's
own county. a POpulist, has bolted LeeGy.
He says Leedy voted while in the senate
for the very maximum freight rate law
which he as governor vetoed.
Kansas people have been the coolest
headed in this war. and it Is the belief
OF many Kansas people that time will
show that the nice. smooth. gentlemanly
Sigsbee is not what he Is cracked up TO
be.
Leedy IS supposed 10 have backbone.
Without further idiocy, let him write let
ters to his pink stocking babies whom he
appointed in command of Kansas troops
10 let their men have the right Of petit
ton.
Funston is just naturally green lie
may ripen. Ed. Little has been artifcially
ripened before his time by the presence
OF worms. Both men are immature. both
suffering from arrested brain develop
ment. What on earth did Leedy ever put
them at the head of 90 bright Kansas
boys for?
Leedy should be knocked FalIy-wssi.
His appointment OF Colonel Fitch was the
appointment Of a man. IN 4 battle he
could have led with some degree OF safe
". Presence IN regiment under two
vet-eared brats Ike Funston and Little
would have meant wan,on waste of some
bodys flesh and blood.
