Congressman Reedsr's Washington Visit
Bill Reeder, the Sixth districts big
congressman, went down to Washing
ton last winter, says the Kansas City
Star, to view the landscape Ger and to
mix a little with the statesmen, for
while Mr.. Reeder is Big Chief on the
headwaters Of the SOIOman, he is q lit
tie raw on dress parade and he never
overIooks an opportunity to get his
bearings. So he went down to Wash
ington and put himself under the guild
ance Of Charley Curtis. They visited
the capitol and we're caught in the jam
Of the white house reception the first
day and the next day planned to make
the round Of the departments. Their
first stop was at the pOstOfice depart
ment, and, of course they dropped in
to see Joe Bristow. "Now," Mr.. Curtis,
said, after they had passed the time
Of day with the fourth assistant, "we
will call on the postmaster general -
They were promptly shown into Mr..
Smiths room and Mr.. Curtis presented
his short grass colleague, saying: "Mr.
Postmaster General, permit me to in
troduce Mr.. Reeder, who has redeemed
the Sixth district from populism." "Ah,
Mr.. Reeder, am pleased to meet you, +"
replied the postmaster general, rising.
what name?" asked Mr.. Reeder. This
put Mr.. Curtis up against it and he
soon backed off with his friend. Out
side they met Senator CullOm. "Ah,
Senator Cullom, good morning. Let
me introduce Mr.. Reeder, who will be
in the next congress. Mr.. Reeder is a
republican, he has redeemed the Sixth
district of our state from pOpulism.
Mr.. Reeder, Senator -CuIlom.'' "What
state?" inquired the new congressman.
Mr.. Reeder is not from Missouri, but
he must be shown. Mr.. Reeder is often
called Eugene Hagan's congressman -
for it was Mr.. Hagan's work among the
democrats to stay by their own candi-
date that let Mr.. Reeder in. But Mr.
Reeder is all right He began life
teaching school, and became county
superintendent of Osborne county.
Then be drifted up to Phillips county
and went into hogs and cattle. After
awhile he bought a bank and made
more money. Then he got a farm and
finally bought all the land that joined
him. Young, full Of blood and rich,
his next move was to break into con
gress. He had the good luck to fail Of
the nomination twice when there was
no chance for a republican, but the
third time he chased Abe Ellis out of
the field and Mr.. Hagan did the rest.

weather Report for MAY.

The mean temperature Of the past
month was nearly two and one-haIf
degrees above the average for the 81
preceding Mays on our records. In
other respects the month did not vary
notably from the average May. The
total rainfall was a trifie above the
average amount, and the mean cloud
mess was somewhat greater than usual.
The relative humidity was several per
cent above the mean: the run Of wind
and the mean barometer we're normal
Snow.

But how does the situation harmonic
with the constantly exploited theory
that trusts are organized in the inter
est Of lower cost Of production and
therefore Of lower prices? Prices are
advancing, and everybody is jubilant
therefore. Yet there are but two fac
tors making for higher prices, trusts
and occasional scarcity Of some much
needed product or commodity. But
trusts increase the price Of q hundred
articles where scarcity does one The
one articles may possibly benefit a few
farmers, but the hundred articles in
crease the burden Of all farmers, for
the hundred articles they mast buy,
while Of the one article only a few have
it to sell, else it would not be scarce
There are NJ trusts forming to advance
the prices Of farm products, but my
RAIDS Of trusts are advancing prices Of
what farmers must buy. And this is
called the @glad tidings Of great pros

A SHOW With NEW BORN IDEAS.

The Campbell Bros Shows, Circus Muse
um and Wild Beast Exhibition.
That the Campbell Bros. have well
earned their deserved success is at
tested by what the press and the critics
have to say of their shows, which will
exhibit here Friday, June .. The ad-
vanced press notices have words Of
praise for them, their performance is
presented in as new and attractive
form as modern thought and invention
viii permit. They have a multitude Of
mastery innovations never before pre-
scented which are thoroughly in accord
ance with the spirit Of the times. The
advent Of Campbell Bros. shows has in
a great measure uplifted the amuse-
ment business, and it can be truthfully
said that they are modern showmen
with modern ideas.

Price Of Farm ImpIsmsnt..

The prices Of farm implements are
advancing, and the manufacturers say
the advances is made necessary by the
increased cost Of material, especially
iron and steel, By the trusts that con
troll the prices Of those articles. This
may be true, and doubtless is in part,
but it is also true that makers Of in
plements recently seame to an under
standing" regarding a general advance
OF - per cent, and it is only fair TO
presume that the advance was slightly
as least. more than was necessary to
inset the increased prices OF material.

The automobile is not, as most peo-
pie think, an up-to-date product of this
decade. One was running in the streets
Of New York a half century ago. It
was invented by Robert Dudgeon, who
built the 'steam road wagon" as it was
called, to carry him to and from bust
ness and to convey his family to church.
1t was a noisy apparatus and consumed
two bushels of coal and nearly hogs
head of water on each trip. Mr.. Dud-
geon rode in it for ten years, when the
city authorities forbade his futher use
of it. The machine still reposes in the
inventors Long Island home. A SINH
lar automobile, built by Mr.. Dungeon,
was exhibited at the Crystal palace,

luted." The newspaper man built the
monument. Ever since Senator Plumb
died the party leaders and old soldiers
have been building a monument to
perpetuate his memory, but his grave

has taken the matter up and in due
time the monument will be built In

sas City Traveller suggests that every
newspaper publisher In Kansas shall
contribute a certain amount Of type,
out Of which shall be nodded an ap-
prOpriate monument. Such q monu-
ment would have no duplicate in the
