have the State tske up the project of
crossing the Belgian hare with the

to Senator Smith that the rabbit and
the hare will not cross. The jack
rabbit and the Belgian hare look very
much alike, but they are as vide
apart in species as the horse and the

are born blind, hairless and helpless,
while the little jack comes into the
world fully equipped to take care of

of crossing the two species is quite as

Try This Once.

Advice to those who send to mail
order houses for goods: Make out your
order, enclose the money, paying for
the draft or order and the express or
freight on the goods. At the same
time, leave duplicate order with your
home merchant, paying him the money
in advance, giving week or ten days
to deliver the goods same as the other
fellow. tnen put the two together and
see how you come out. 1t may sur.
prise you. 1t is not fair proposition
to expect your home grocer to sell so
cents worth of sugar at the same rate
you could buy 100 pounds as one item
in bill of SIS to SIS. The way-of
mail order house treat you as thing
to be worked and must see the color of
your money before you receive their
goods. The home man treats you like
a man. ties up your order and sends it
to your door with faith in your integri-
ty that you will observe the laws of
trade and pay for them accordingly.

A POLITICAL STEAL.

The seating of Bob Findley by
the republican committee OF cleo
tions Of the state senate is Moth
ing less than a steal, a dirty,
contemplate robbery of the peo-
ples' rights. Every man who
lent himself to the aid Of this
crime against common decency
and common justice should be
branded as conscienceless par
tizan by the people of this sena-
torial district. And they will be
so branded by all lovers of right
and Justice. Remember them,
they will bob up for office in the
future-many of them are al
ready stretching their wires.
Spot 'em, and in future years
when they seek public favor know
them as dishonest, unprincipled
and not worthy OF the confidence
of honest men. Their names are
known to many. When the
proper time comes we shall give
the people OF Barton county the
record of those of our own citi-
zens who helped to accomplish
the injustice, and the incentive
b hind them.
Senator Ross is all honest,
trustworthy farmer, incapable OF
any of the many unlawful, dis
reputable methods practiced by
the fellow who opposed him in
the election. The republican
committee exhausted every
means in their power to find
some fraud on which to base a
claim for ousting him, and failed.
They summoned the county clerks
of the three counties to bring the
ballots to Topeka, a thorough
recount was made, and Mr.. Ross
still had a majority of upwards
of 60. They took the election
boards of several townships to
Topeka, and put them on oath.
No reputable evidence was pro-
duced showing fraud in any par
ticular on the part of Senator
Ross or his party OF supporters.
Yet the committee recommends

the senate accept the recon

be deprived of his seat and it be
given to Findley, the pet OF the
railroads, the friend of the hood
lers-but above all, the republi-
can. And the tax payers of Kan
sas will foot the immense bills
for all this tom-foolery.

was made, but without result. It is
not known of what the contents of
the grip consisted as the owner did
not stop, but proceeded on his jour-

FOR A GRAND STAND.
Dance to be Given on the EVENING Of
Labor Oay.

O0uuSC " OO SlVSU OF INC evening OF
Labor Day.
One of the chief drawbacks the pat
rons of the ball games in this city
have had to contend with is a lack
Of benches for seats and many have
stayed away on that account. Vari-
GUS schemes for building a grand
stand Of proper seating capacity
have been talked of but nothing def
mite has been done. It is now propos-
ed, however, to have a grand ball on
the night of Labor Day, Monday, Sep
TENDER 2, the proceeds to be used for
the purpose of making the necessary
improvements to insure the comfort
of the patrons of the games. The
dance will be held at the opera house
in this city and the music will be fur
nished by Chester's orchestra. The
dance is given for the benefit of a
good cause and should be well at
tended.
