Ih' wheat Of Sumner county is
much better than the farmers
Thought it was going to be some time
ago. A number of the machine deal
er' think that if nothing happens TO
the wheat from now on and the
weather stays favorable that not less
than 100000 BUSHES Of wheat will
be harvested in Sumner county. Last
year there was about 100000. These
figures show about four. fifth per cent
OF a crop, Many fields that were
thought best some time ago to be
plowed up have come out wonderfully,
and spread beyond expectation. The
berry will be much better thar last
year and the yield in many parts Of
the county will be good and farm
erS will realize as much from
their crops this year as they did last
year. Sumner county is all right and
the farmers are happy.

The Mail and Star come out
this week with great scare for the
Demo-Pops, trying to Stampede the
Populists from fusing with the
Democrats. Its article is like soft
wood from q blow.pipe, hits nowhere
and is scattered to the winds by its
own force. 1t is scared over the
outlook for the Republican party's
success this fall and is trying to
make q big scarecrow out Of moth
ing to prevent complete fusion Of
the Populists and Democrats. Ifthey
can work up fight between the two
parties there is some chance for the
election Of Republican ticket this
fall. If that cannot be done there
is no chance for election for them.
The primary system was agitated
first by the Populists, it being one of
their cardinal principles Of electing
all officers, U tied States senators,
presidents, Judges, ETC., because
the Democrats fall in line with them
and are willing to let the majority
nominate the candidate. If the
statement is true about there being
but few Democrats in the county,
how could they expect to get even
one place on the ticket if the Pop.
ulists were not in favor Of giving it
to themf The Populists ara much
the stronger-have five votes to the
Democrats one. If the Populists
stick together they can place Pop.
ulist name on every place on the
ticket. 1t is in their power to do
so, but we believe all feel it besI to
work in harmony and 60 to the poles
and vote for whom they think To be
the best man Tor the place and the
strongest man, let him be Democrat,
Populist, Free Silver Republican or
or whatnot-anylhing you might call
him so he is opposed TO the Repuu

BETTER THAN GOLD.
That Is What they Say Of Kansas Bonds
And The Capitalists Wont Let her
Pay Her Debts.

"u ihs saPi'Ahsu WOnt Let f1ef
Pay Her Debts.
Topeka, June l1.-Several Kansas
counties and municipalities are 10
hard luck. They want to pay their
debts, but won't be permitted to do
so. The principal creditors who re-
fuse to let them pay up are the state
school fund commissioners. or the
s3,ooo, 900 worth Of bonds held BY the
state school fund, probably nine.
tenths Of them run for a definite
length OF time. There Is no clause in
tne bond contract which will permit
the county to redeem them at any
time 1t sees lit.
GOOD bonds are getting scarce In
Kansas. There iss big demand for
them, Eastern houses are buying
bonds like hot cakes at an exceedingly
low rate Of interest. Counties which
have 6 and I per cent bonds outstapd.
ing now could, if the state school fund
commissioners would permit, refund
them for from 81 to 4 per cent. These
counties are anxious to refund. They
have submitted Two propositions to
the state school fund commissioners
either let them redeem the bonds or
scale down the rate Of interest on the
OLD ones. This question is giving the
commissioners more trouble than any
other. The attorney general has
advised the commissioners not to do
either. He holds that the school
fund should hold fast to all of the
good bonds and require the counties
TO live up to their original contracts.
tie says the school fund came to their
rescue at a time when they needed
help and they should not now desert it.
"The school fund commissioners
must do something to protect the
state school board fund, said Attor.
ney General GODDARD. "If we would
permit all Of the good bonds to be
redeemed ahead Of time we would not
find desirable investment for the
money and the Semi.annual distribu-
tion OF interest money among the
schools would be decreased to almost
nothing. The money these counties
pay In excess interest over what they
can sell bonds for now goes back into
their schools, so the taxpayer is not
Injured. But it looks to me as though
the time Is coming when the semi
annual distribution will be much less
than 1t Is now. In the future all good
bonds bought by the commission will
not bear over or Al per cent. The
decrease In the rate OF interest not
only on bonds, but mortgages and
other paper held in the east, is a
great thing for the state. All of our
surplus money does not go east now
to pay interest. 1t is going into the
banks to swell the deposits OF our own
people"

Where nsver fading crowns sre given.
And where joys no tongue can tell.
Hs has let father and mother,
Gone 10 live with Christ above;
Left three sisters and brother,

He is done with pain and sorrow,

But a bright and happy future,
With him In heaven will now begin.

Though your hearts with sorrow thrill
Try to meet in heaven each ether,
And be resigned to Gods holy will.

The above picture OF the late Frank A.

Mr.. Thayer's funeral was conducted
at his late residence last Tuesday at half

Church. IL was attended by large con-
course OF citizens aud friends from this
aud neighboring towns. Mount Mica
Lodge, |. o. o. F., attended In body.
All places OF business were closed dur
ing the funeral hour out Of respect for
the deceased who had so recently form
ed n part OF that business community
and a part that earned him not only the
respect but also the friendship and az
fection Of his associates.
Although for the last few years Mr..
Thsyer has been combating q disease
which would have discouraged many
men, he has 70 the very last been one Of
the most enterprising. energetic and
public spirited citizens OF the town, ever
ready to aid in practical way every
moral and industrial effort for the sd-
vaucement and upbuilding OF South
Paris, and his works live after him.
Mr.. Thsyer was one Of the most active
Of the men who advocated and brought
TO successful completion the erection OF
the handsome brick block In Market
Square and upon It's completion he
promptly added TO the business OF South
Paris drst-clsss, up-to-dste furniture
store. He WAS also among the iirst To
put Ia motion the formation OF syndi-
cate Of South Paris business men result
ing In the purchase Of the Ham property
with view to further improving the
business portion Of the place, and TO his
efforts more than 10 those OF any other
individual, may be attributed the laying
out OF the little park and establishing Of
the fine watering place which have so
greatly improved the appearance OF
Market Square. Mr.. Thsyer had further
plans for the identifying Of the park
this coming summer with shrubbery and
flowers which will now be carried out by
other hands.
His characteristic energy In advocating
moral reforms, his outspoken manner OF
condemning what be believed to be
wrong and his exceptional ability In his
chosen calling were alluded to 10 the
Democrat 81 last week; all these CON-
bined with his untlring efforts for the
improvement OF South Paris, mark Frank
A. Thsyer as man whose memory will
be- kept green in this community for
many years.

The affair in question happened while

not more than five pupils were present
