Condition of Kansas Corn Crop.

New York, Aug. 2O-A director of
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad said Saturday: ''No holder of
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe stock
should feel alarmed for moment be-
cause of the reports of damages to
the corn crop of Kansas. Our divi-
sion which covers the state of Kansas,
carries about AZ per cent. of corn.
The wheat crop of Kansas has yielded
over 100000 bushels and is the
largest in the history of the state.
This in itself means an immense ton
mage for our system and for all other
roads entering the state. It is true
damage has been done to the corn
crop of Kansas and that from pres
ent indications the yield will be about
81 per cent. of the first estimate.
The corn acreage of Kansas was large
ly increased over last year and the
yield per acre was expected to be ex-
ceptionally large, in other words, "a
bumper crop of corn was anticipated.
AS it is Kansas farmers will receive
higher prices for their corn, and had
this been bumper crop, prices
would have been so low as not to have
paid freight

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
Must Accept OLD Books.

A ruling has been made by Super
intendent Nelson that under the
text book uniformity law, contracting
firms are compelled to accept all
school books that have been used
within six months in exchange. The
contention was whether the cover
and leaves must all be intact Mr..
Nelson held that such was not neces-
+sary. 1t is provided that books now
in use shall be exchanged for new
ones at not more snan so per cent
of the maximum prices at which the
books were adopted. Provision is al
so made that the counties operating
under the uniformity contract shall,
at the expiration of that contract,
be entitled to the exchange privi-
leoe.

THE LIBERTY CONGRESS.
the Candidacy of Rryan-The Third
Party Movement,

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 1.-THE
liberty congress of the American
League of Anti-Imperialists yesterday
emphatically Endorsed the candidacy
of William j. Bryan for president.
The resolutions to that effect were
read to the convention by Col. Charles
r. Goldman, of Massachusetts,, who
moved their adoption, after stating
that the entire committee of 25 had
Endorsed them. The convention, how
ever, did not adopt the platform as
submitted by the resolutions commit
tee without a prolonged and heated
debate. Thomas NJ. Osborne, of Au-
burn, n. Y, leader of the third
ticket movement, offered an amend
ment to strike out the indorse-
ment of Bryan and his amend
ment was vigorously supported by
several delegates, but when the pre-
vious question was ordered less than
a score could be marshalled to vote
against the Bryan Endorsement. The
vote was viva voce and its exact re-
suit viii never be known; but the
clearly shown as being in favor of the
Endorsement of Bryan as the most
effective manner of checking the al
legged imperialistic policy of the adj
ministration.
The most vigorous opponents of
the Bryan pronouncement in the
platform were conspicuous members
of the national or third ticket con-
vention, who were also admitted as
delegates to the anti-imperialistic
congress. They were ably led by
Thomas M. Osborne and advocated the
nomination of third ticket on the
theory that their followers, while op-
posed to President Mckinley, were
not prepared to accept Mr.. Bryan on
the Kansas City platform.
Col. Charles r. Goldman and Edwin
Burritt Smith were the chief oppo-
nents of the platform as reported,
claiming that all political questions
were now subordinate to the one
question of Imperialism, and that all
opponents to the present administers
ton should unite to overthrow it in
the most effective and available man
ner presented.
Every mention of Mr.. Bryan's name
in the convention called forth enthu.
siastic applause.
After the adoption of the resolu,
lions indorsing Bryan the represent.
atives of the third party movement
met in the assembly room of the Com.
mercial club and selected Thomas M
Osborne, of Auburn, N. Y, for per.
manent chairman, and Everett V
Abbott, of New York, for per.
manent secretary. A motion was
made and carried that a convention
be held in New York city September
5 for the purpose of nominating
ticket.
The leaders of the movement said
last night that they expected a large
representation at their convention in
New York on September and that
candidates for president and vice
president would then surely be nomi.
mated.

No Fortune for Rev. James.

S. J. Osborn, speaker of the Kansas
house of representatives, who was
sent to England a few weeks ago by
the trustees of the Kansas Wesleyan
university to learn what had become
of Rev. T. H: James, who had gone
to Liverpool to claim supposed for
tune of $2O,OOo,OOO, has returned to
Salina. 1t will be remembered that
Rev. Mr.. James returned home two
days after Mr.. Osborn sailed. Judge
Osborn found no fortune in Liverpool,

duped and probably drugged while
in Liverpool.
