Rather discouraging news is now be.

1t seems that as the rainy season ap-
proaches the islanders are reorganiz-
ing and gathering up in force in vari-
Gus places.
The word now is that we have not
enough men in that country to gar
rison the important points and wage
an aggressive campaign, All the SOL
diers needed in that country should be
furnished and the rebellious Tagals
and other sympathetic tribes DO whip

Suicide.

C. V. Eskridge, editor of the Repub-
lican, of Empora, shot himself to
death last Sunday.
Mr. Eskridge had been seriously
sick for a long time with cancer Of
the liver, and becoming discouraged
and disparing of recovery ended his
days.
Mr.. Eskridge came to Kansas in 1S-
55 and has been closely identified with
the early history and the growth and
Development of Kansas. He served
several years in the Kansas legislature
and one term as Lieut.-gov. He was
an earnest advocate of whatever cause
he espoused and made himself felt in
politics as we'll as in all local affairs.
In our trips to Emporia we have en-
joyed many chat with the Governor
on the stirring scenes of '55 to go in
which he was an active participant.

ed forward with all possible speed,
but the Chinese from their vast num-
bers, can concentrate much quicker
than the allied forces.
1t now looks like this war is going
to grow into large proportions and
that the powers will have to ship in
two or three hundred thousand men
thoroughly equipped with artillery
and munitions of war and prepare for
a long campaign.
There can be but little hore now in
the minds of anyone for the safety of
the foreigners in Pekin. They no
doubt met their fate heroically, and
it now remains to the powers to ayenge
their foul murder,

not possible for you, then IN either

Great Rain.

The big rain last Monday in this To-
cality put the corn in the very best of
shape.
We have not suffered for rain at any
time this summer and the crop is in
the best condition possible. This
thorough drenching will insure US
quite crop of corn even without an
other drop. or course we will need a
few more rains to bring out the late
corn and Thoroughly mature the early.
Itisuniversally conceded by the old
settler that he never saw such corn
prospect at this time of year in Kan
sas.
The ground is now thoroughly wet,
clear down. 1t puts the stubble in
great shape for plowing, as soon as it
dries of, and will insure large acre
age OF wheat. Almost all the wheat
is either threshed or stacked, so it is
safe. The yield so far as threshed has
been % to So bushels with an OCCASION
al piece a little more. The berry is
unusually fine. The flax an | oat crops
are fine. The rain caught a good deal
Of the flax down in punches and it
will be damaged if wet weather con-
tinues. Berries and fruits of all kinds
are an abundant crop and it truly
looks like Kansas is to be blessed be-
yond all expectations this gear.

RE CAME DOWN.
Reflections on the Soldier Boys Don't
Go in Abilene.

George Ogden, formerly a coal
dealer in Abilene but now travelling
for Kansas City firm is in town and
had an unpleasant experience last
Saturday afternoon.
10 a number OF men in the Pacific
hotel lobby at noon he cast reflections
on the character OF men who went to
the Philippines and expressed hope
that they would meet bad fate. A
number Of mem bers of the goth Kan
sas and others corralled him in front
Of Hodge Brothers store that after
noon, sent for F. B. Bearce who tes-
titled as to what Ogden said and they
gave him his choice-to apologize or
take the consequences. He got up
ona plow, took off his hat and ab-
jectly apologized to the boys. He
would have had mighty rough time
if he had not. This is patriotic
town.
