The Middle OF the Road POpnliSts
are not satisfied with John w. Breid-
enthal for governor, and have called 3
mass convention in Topeka August %,
to name a straight ticket.
The big CirCuSeS Of the country are
in a combination that is very advan-
tageous. They mutually assign terri
tory TO each other, and agree to keep
out of each others way. Forepaugh
& Sells Bros circus fell to Yelling
ton, hence no other circus of impoI-
tance will strike this point tniS year,
and none of the neighboring towns
will be billed by circus until the
FOreplugh & Sells Bros circus has
exhibited and gone.
Oxford Bee: 1t is the belief OF DR..
G. d. FOrney Of this place that the
death Of the late DR.. Thomas Cooper
Of Kansas City, who died at the Etna
hotel in Wellington a week ago Tues
day, was caused from what is COM
monty called "tob4CCO heart Dr..
FOrDey treated him while here and
says tine doctor showed every indica.
ti0n OF being an excessive user of
tobacco. He says much OF the So
called heart disease can be traced
direct to the excessive use Of tobacco.
Do you believe this story, which is
sent out from Arkansas City: About
three weeks ago, man named Harry
Harp arrived in this city from joplin
and bought home here. Soon after
his arrival he happened to be looking
at some cattle short distance from
this city aud he noticed a curious
kind of rOcK. Upon making a closer
examination he found it was not rock
at all, but ore. He brought a num-
Der OF samples to this city and hau
the ore examined by several who are
supposed to be experts on that subject.
The samples contain copper, zinc and
lead and those seen are richer by far
than the Joplin aud Galena metal.
The ore, according to Mr.. Harp is
within four miles of this city, and
exists in great quantities. He re-
fuses to give out the exact location
He has sent to Colorado for friend
who is a practical miner and who has
had years Of experience IN the bust
ness. When he arrives they will
MAKE an examination and will proba-
bly, buy the land where the ore lies
Mr.. Harp has money enough at his
command to work the ground.
The promoters OF the notorious
KlOndike at LeavenwOrth are circu-
lating petition for the Incorporation
of the criminal district under the
name of Rochester" If this incor-
pOration can be accomplished the
KlJndikers will have a city govern
ment of their own and go through the
alleged process OF collecting fines each
mDnth, thereby setting up self.cOn-
stituted government for which they
will claim the same consideration
given other cities of the state where
constant violations Of the liquor law
occur without the interference OF the
authorities While the KlOndike is a
very small affair and is surrounded by
several small farms which are pro-
posed for the corporation, or the new
city, the jOintists and violators Of the
laws who make their abode 10 that
notorious section OF the state think
they can evade the onslaughtS of the
state administration by having a
third class city. The jointlsts believe
that ii LeavenwOrth's joints and
saloons are permitted to run that the
K)ndikers would have the same
privileges were they in city OF their
own, This movement on the part OF
the lOintist is opposed violently by
the men who own small farms in the
KlOndike district. There is only a
scattered settlement Of people ia the
district and the number is not sufi-
cient to incorporate a city, so the
promoters are going out to take in
the farmers. This extends the Ger.
pOration limits beyond a distance Of
reason so those who are about to be
gathered in and forced to become
residents of the KlOndike, under the
name Rochester, are making bitter
fight. Then the influence of the
national military home and its sup
porters 10 Leavenworth will try to
prevent the organization Of the pro-
passed city government because in the
event this is accomplished the powers
that be in the state house will pro-
baby not be ready to take up the
fight on each quarterly pension pay.
