KANSAS ITEMS OF rsrr.rs.


Marys township
Ottawa is getting more than it, share
Of attention from burglars over the
state.
Judge Hook, at Fort Scott this week,
took the strong stand of refusing to
dismiss any case in which the costs
had not been paid
While a Columbus man was attend
ing services in the Baptist church some
unregenerate sinner made off with his
horse and buggy.
Some of the Kansas towns are call
ing the attention of visitors to the fact
that the town has not suffered bust
ness failure since '93.
That colony of 10000 Kansans in
Kansas City must feel cheap for hav-
ing left Kansas. They can take no
share in the glory now.
People should feel sorry for the
school teachers. The hottest weather
of the year is coming on now, and
with it comes the time for holding the
county normals.
If good things to eat are apt to have
any influence with the members of the
committee who are seeking location
for the new asylum they cannot help
feeling friendly toward Fort Scott. 1t
was great feed which was placed be-
fore them in that town; a regular
plutocratic spread.
It is terrible to contemplate the I'M
rclenting manner with which hard
luck will camp on the trail of some
people. In Linn county a man was
sentenced to serve term in the coun-
~ Jail, and before he had been there
long enough to feel at home his moth
in-law became an inmate of the same
institution On complaint of her hus-
band she had been convicted Of dis
turbing the peace.
A well eighteen inches in diameter
was bored at the artificial ice plant in
Atchison, and at a depth of 46 feet be-
low flow of water was struck almost
artesian in nature. It does not force
itself above the surface, as is the case
with most artesian wells, but water
has been pumped from it at the rate
of ninety gallons minute without
exhausting it. The instant the pumps
stop the water rushes almost to the
top of the we'll.
The reports on the strike situation
indicate that there have been no new
access;ons to the ranks of the strikers.
Wherever the mines have been worked
by men who belong to the union the
strike is effective, but it seems that
there are not enough union men in the
district, or at least working for the
companies against whom the U. NJ. w.
A. is at war, in the union. Many un.
ion miners consider the strike III
timed and of doubtful issue, and al
though not working, are not trying
very hard to get the non-union men
ont.
Wheat has improved in some of the
counties, while in many it is stunted,
has not stooled, is thin on the ground
and is getting weedy. In the south
ern counties it is in better condition
and in Cowley is beginning to head
Corn planting is nearing competition.
Corn is coming up in Jewell county
and is being cultivated as far up a:
Ottawa Potatoes are coming up
Grass, oats and barley are growing
we'll. Fruit prospects are favorable
More rain is needed in the central and
northwestern counties with warmer
nights.
People complain a great deal on &C
count of hand organs They should
cease complaining long enough once
in while to feel pity for the poo
grinder who has to listen to his owl
music all the time, day in and da!
put.
A Kiowa county man fell in a fit on
aay last week and hasn't recovere,
constituencies yet. He talked 70
half an hour with a man he though
was cattle buyer before he caugh
on to the fact that he was the town
ship assessor.
Prof Fellows, of Chicago universit.
was in Fort Scott q few days ago an,
inspected the course of study of tn
High school. Graduates of the For
Scott school are admitted to the uni
versity without any further examine
ton.
A Dickinson county prisoner an
nounced that he intended to cease eat
ing and drinking. He tried it fo
about four days, but rs the practic
became . little wearing on the const
tuition, he has decided to again tax
nourishment;
