ATTENTION has been so closely con-
centrated on the British war i'm the
lower end of Africa that most people
had forgotten Ithe British war going
on in the upper end. THIS war be.
gan away back in the eighties with
the rebellion of the Mahdi in the
Soudan. The most pathetic incident
of it was the capture of Khartoum
and the murder of Gordon. The war
has been intermittent ever since, now
flaming out into battle and now
smouldering into an armed truce
But England never entirely quits
and so the news came Saturday that
Col. Wingate had defeated the Kha'
lifa, the successor of the Mahdi, with
great slaughter, dispensing the der
wishes who were not killed or cap
tured.

ton. kanss is heIse again, proud
and prosperous, needing not to be
ashamed.
Acd 1t has been a magnificent
year for the United States of Amer
lea. Every record of internal trade
and foreign commerce has been
broken. More men have been em.
pi yed, more wages paid, more pro-
ducts made, better average prices
maintained than ever before. And
the Nation has taken a higher place
also among the nations of the world
than it ever held before. The flag Of
the Great Republic has been so glor-
iously defended on land and sea that
it commands greater love and loyalty
at home and greater respect abroad
than at any time since 1t was first un-
furled. 1t has been a magnificent
year for the United States of America.
And 50 as citizens of lola, as c.ti-
zsns Of Allen county, as citizens OF
Kansas and as citizens of the United
States, there Is every reason Why we
should follow in letter and in spirit
the injunction OF our President and
Ensemble in the churches or meeting
places of all denominations that fer
vent prayers may be offered to thu
Most High for continuance OF the
divine guidance, without which
mans efforts are vain, and for DIVINE
consolation to those whose kindred
aud friends have sacrificed their live
for our country, and also that on thi
day, go far as may be fund practic
able, labor shall cease from its &C
customed toll and charity abount
toward the sick, the needy and tn
poor.n

THE BANNER COUNTY.

Allen county is the banner Republi.
can county of Kansas this year. Two
other counties, Shawnee and Reno,
gave actually greater majorties; but
the majority in this county in COM
parison with the total vote cast, was
the largest in the State.
There are two reasons for this: One
is that during the entire history of the
county the Republicans have never
nominated or elected man who was
dishonest or incapable. And the
second reason is that there are no Re-
publican factions i'm this county. No
body sets himself up as a boss. The
candidates ale nominated each year
by the votes of all the members of
the party who care to go to the
primaries, and nearly all of them
go,-or by their instructed representa- a
tives in the county convention. In
thirteen years only one defeated
candidate has thought himself
sufficiently aggrieved to bolt the man
who defeated him, and his bolt was
Intellectual. For ten years now the
rains of the Farmers Alliance have
descended and the storms OF Populisn
have beat upon the house Of Aller
county Republcanism, but it has no
fallen because it was built upon tn,
rock of sound principle and good citi
zenship and common sense Th,
storms are over now and Allen count!

THANKSGIVING.


For the third successive year lola
comes to Thanksgiving day with a
record of un broken p osperity and un-
interrupted good fortune. Not for
day in the year that has passed has
the town Jagged on lis onward march.
Not for day has there been cause
for encouragement on the part Of
those whose hearts were set upon its
progress and growth. Not with un.
due Laste, not with flushed and
ieverish pulse, but steadily and
surely and wholesomely the town
has pushed ahead, each day gaining
little over the day that had gone
before. surely in material way
lola must be thankful for unnum-
bered blessings 1t must be thankful
also for a greater than usual
immunity from fatal illness. No
epidemic has visited us, and even
the usual and common disorders eeem
to have been less prevalent and less
fatal than in other years. The city Of
lola has every reason to observe
Thanksgiving Day with full and
grateful heart.
In the county outside of lola con-
ditions have not been so unvaryingly
prosperous as they have in this city.
While in some sections the crops
have been equal to any OF the most
fruitful years, yet in other sections
there has been partial failure. And
yet there has nowhere been total
failure, and prices on all products
have maintained so high an average
that even the shortened crop has
been worth rs much as or more than
the full crops of other years have
been. And then our farmers have
learned of late to 80 wisely diversity
their productions that none Is left
destitute by reason of the destruction
of the basket which held all his eggs.
So that taking it all in all it may be
doubted whether the average con.
dition of the people of the county was
ever much, il any, better on any
previous Thanksgiving Day than il
is on this.
As to the cond ition of the state OF
Kansas, probably never in any prev
ious year has 1t attained so high an
average of genuine prosperity, The
fields have yielded a bountiful har
vest, old industries have revived and
new ones have sprung up, the min
eral resources of the State have beer
actively developed, the credit of the
State has been restored and the
taunts and jeers of other years have

THANKSGIVING IN THE OLD HOME.

Like the patient moss to the rifted hill
The wee brown house is clinging.
A last years nest that is lone aud still.
Though 1t erstwas filled with singing.
Then feet were the children's pattering feet,
And their trilling childish laughter
And merry voices were sweet Oh! sweet
Ringing from floor to rafter. ssA
The beautiful darlings one by one,
From the nests safe shelter flying
Went forth in the sheen of the morning sun,
Their futtering pinions trying;
But oft ms the reaping time is DER,
And the hoar-irost crisps the stubble,
They haste to the little home once more,
From the great worlds toll aud trouble.
And the mother herself is AZ the pane,
with haud the dim eyes shading,
And the flush OF grlhood tints again
The cheek that is thin and fading.
For her boys and girls are coming home,
The mothers kiss their Euerdon.
As they came ere yet they had learned to roam
or bowed to the task or burden.
over the door worn sill they creep.
The skies of youth above them,
The blessings OF God on the happy group,
Who have mother left to love them.
They well may smile in the face of care.
To whom such grace is given
A mothers faith and a mothers prayer,
Holding them close TO heaven.
For her. as she clasps her bearded son,
with heart that is brimming over,
She's tenderly blending two in one,
Her boy, and her boyish lover.
And half of her soul is reft away,
SO twine the dead and the living
In the little home wherein today
Her children Keep Thanksgiving.
There are tiny hands that pull her gown,
And small heads bright and golden;
The childish laugh aud the childish frown,
And the dimpled fingers folden,
That bring again TO the mothers breast
The spell OF the sunny weather,
When she hushed her brood in the crowded
nest
And all are glad together.
A truce to the jarriug notes of life,
The cries OF pain aud passion,
over this lull in the eager strife,
Love hovers Eden fashion.
In the wee brown house where lessons tauRh
or strong and sturdy living,
And everywhere honest hands have wrough
God hears the true THANKSGIVING.
