for points in Oklahoma north Of that
line, though it answers well enough for
cattle brought into the area between the

far as telling what would happen was
concerned.

Atchison on the Fourth of July, 1861.
A steamboat engineer was hired to run
it. A. j. Reed and Jas. Lowe were
employed as pilots, and Abe Ashcraft as
brakeman. Soon after the steam wagon
reached Commercial street, the pilot
wheel broke, and the machine ran into
Luther Challiss' store, breaking boys

he would not have anything more to do

Would there be any improperly or in

every Irish policeman in the United
States should, on the same day, resign

The generosity and disinterested
benevolence of the Irish in America are
preeminently luminous in their ex-
pressed willingness to help the United

England. The Irish are always willing to

George w. Martin, secretary of the
state historical society, is searching for
the record of the first railroad locomo-
tive brought to Kansas, which few
weeks ago, passed to the scrap pile of
the Missouri Pacific railroad company
The locomotive was landed in Kansas in
May, 1860, coming across from st. Joe
for operation on the thirty miles of the
old Atchison & P.ke's Peak railroad.

relative to the 'dollar made man" He
contributes evidence from carefully
prepared political market reports and
states dates, contracts, amounts which
prove that the "God- made man" stood
no show in legislature which favored
the free coinage of silver and senators
at a ratio of 16 to 1.

modities. The prices range for even

from five hundred to ten thousand dollars
each. And even "lump- jawed" senators
go as high as twenty Thousand dollars
apiece.
1t is not believed that any gold stand
ard senator ever paid half as liber-
ally. The natural
greediness of the
plutocrat is almost enough to discourage
the unprotected industry of manufac-
turing bribe- takers in state legislatures.
1t was left for the really and truly pure
patriotism of the disciples of Bryanarchy
to encourage, build up and energize the
delectable and altogether lovely industry
which makes chattels of state legis-
latures. The magnificent and inspiring
success of silver as disinfectant when
properly distributed among members of
a legislature has been efficiently demon
strated by Colonel Bryan's staunch
friend, Senator Clark of Montana.

if The CONSERVATIVE is not mistaken,
was valorous soldier in ''the first
battle" for Bryanarchy. He gave
generously to the vast campaign fund
of that pure and innocent syndicate
which was endeavoring to elect the
Chicago platform ticket in 1896. Senator
Clark, like Senator Dilworthy in the
play, was chock full of piousness and
boiling over with honesty. At last
virtue had it's reward-even in Montana
and the immaculate friend of "the plain
people," the good patriot who "put up"
thousands to carry sixteen -to-one in
1896, was elected a United States
senator.
But the man, Mr.. Welcome, who
managed to elect Clark, has been dis
barred from practicing law by the
supreme court of that state. The charge
of having bribed members of the legis-
lature to vote for Clark was so salts
factorily demonstrated to be true that
Mr.. Welcome was welcomed out of the
profession by an edict of the highest
Montana tribunal of Justice.
And now the silver sanctity of the
senator from Montana is smeared over
with charges of

greed and gain to secure his exaltation
