IT appears that Hicks is the only weather
urophet that chit it" on the late rains-and he
FIRST made his prediction ten years ago. In his
almanac for this year, and in his paper, Word
and Works, he said we would get the very
rains we did get. The government weather.
puessers told us all of last week that there was
no prospect of rain. Saturday morning, fine
rain fell. Sunday morning., we had another
one. Monday night, we had another good one.
All Of the dry district has been visited with
rains. Well bet on Hicks most every time.

EXPRESS SALES MUST STOP.

For some time, express agents have been
handling intoxicating liquors, and have been
making nice thing out of it-that is, some of
them have. We heard of one agent (not in
Garnett) who said his profits from handling
liquors amounted to more than his salary as
express agent. This thing must stop, however.
The Topeka Capital says of it:
"Numerous complaints have been received by
Attorney General GODDARD relative to the prac-
tice Of express companies of shipping intoxi-
eating liquors to lows in the state and permit
ting their agents to deliver the packages to any
person who cares to pay the charges.
"The scheme, it is said, is one evolved by the
Wholesale liquor dealers of Kansas City, to
evade the prohibitorv law.
"The packages are shipped c. o. D. to the
different towns in the state, and are consigned
in care of the local agent, being marked either
with numbers or letters of the alphabet. IT
any one in town wants to secure case OF beer
or some whisky, all he has to do is to 60 to the
express Office and call for package X. Y T., or
something of the sort, pay the express charges
and take it away with him.
'.Mr. GODDARD has called the matter to the at
tention of the express companies, notifying
them that, unless the practice is stopped, pro-
ceedings will be commenced against the local
agents for violating the prohibitory liquor law"

A Standing Army.

Georges Weekly, Denver.
81 don't know what Uncle Sam is going to
do to get soldiers" we heard an army officer
say.
won't young men enlist?"
"No; it is almost impossible to get enough
young men into the army to recruit the posts.
The young men are sick and tired or bubonic
plague, Martinette officers, smallpox and luna
cy, all for $I3 mouth, and fighting negroes
on The equator instead of fighting natural foes
of the country"
"What do you think is going to be the out
come of this condition." we asked.
Nothing except this: The trust must have
large standing armies in order to shoot down
strikers and keep them in subiugation, and at
the next session of congress, believe law
will be enacted making military service com
pulsory."
The above is the opinion of an army officer
that appears to be onto his job, and we submit
it for what it Is worth. Surely, we are travel
ing at rapid gait.

THE STATE WILL "GO BROKE"

Through bluuder of the las. Legislature, the
state of Kansas will soon face an empty treas
ury. According to the Topeka Capital, the
amount of the shortage for 1902 will be $780,
600. The Legislature, in effect, promised to
pay certain sum, and then neglected to pro-
vide the money with which to pay it.
The Kansas City Journal says the reason for
this is that the tax levy is short of the appro-
priations Had the railroad assessment not
been reduced, the shortage would have been
comparatively slight.

British Criticize Andrew Carnegie.

Andrew Carnegie's remark about his vain
wish to exchange wealth for youth has excited
varied comment in England and Scotland.
Generally speaking, the comments are not ia
vorable to Carnegie, who, Notwithstanding his
gifts to various objects not in the usual line of
philanthropy, is disliked by the masses in
Great Britain
"What are all these libiaries,' asks noted
London labor leader "but so many monuments
to Mr.. Carnegie, which the public is pledged to
maintain at large and permanent expense, as a
condition of the gifts? The Libraries will not
relieve starving family or diminish human
sniff ring 1t is simply a gigantic self-adver-
tisement."
There is no conceallnent that Scottish STU
dents do not take kindly to the recent Carnegie
gift, with its various conditions, and that Car
negie is vexed at their refusal to appreciate
what some of them cruelty call "a Yankee gold
brick

The Gas Vole-The proposition submitted
to the people of this city, to take two thirds
of the stock in a gas company, was very
emphaucally defeated, the vote standing So
for to 1877 against the measure. One leading
reason for this vote was that the gas to be
generated was to be taken from grease
instead OF coal. Others thought that the
''parties of the first part" a little too
stringent.
