 Senatorship.)
 than any one other cause just at present, is giving the other candi- dates a great deal of concern.
 A correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle writes from St. Joseph that a scheme has just been started in northern Missouri to secure as a dark horse man who is known to be the intimate friend of each candidate It has been taken up by democratic leaders in St. Louis and Kansas City who are anxious to be identified with the success of the winner. This dark horse is Judge O. M. Spencer, o1 St. Joseph, who for several years has been the general solicitor for the Burlington railway lines in Missouri Judge Spencer is urged to permit the use of hls name for the exalted post, but he has steadily declined to be con sidered as a candidate, saying that for financial reasons he cannot afford to get into the race. His friends and admirers are persistent, and the tip has just been passed around that he will accept the honor if properly ten dered him, although he declines to make campaign for it.

va1ue of n Bee.s Tongue.

In the new apiculture the length oi the bees tongues is looked upon as a matter of importance. The longer the tongue the greater is the insects honey-gathering capacity, and a new French apparatus, the glossometer, is designed to aid the apiarist, who, by judicious selection, seeks to develop a 1ong-tongued race. The apparatus is simply glass vessel for sirup, with lid containing numerous small per- forations, and floating scale to show the height of the liquid when the bees just reach it through the holes. It is estimated that the ordinary bee can draw sweets from depth of about a quarter of an inch, and taat selection can increase it's range a twenty-fiftb of an inch.-Science.

Prisoners Refuse to Eat.

One hundred and forty political pris- oners at Kieff, who were kept in solitary confinement in dark cells for four months without any pretense of trial or examination, agreed by some mys- terious means to strike by refusing to take food, says a Moscow pond ent. They resolutely carried out the project until the prison governor was faced by the choice of the grave scan- dal of 40 prisoners dying or sending them to the hospital.

THE BILLED BUzzARD.
wsmous Bfrd Has Returned to Boone
 County, Mo-, After a Lapse of Several Years.

From Columbia, Mo-, comes the news that the "beIIed buzzard" has returned once more to Boone county. Such has been the rumor for several days, and now it has been positively verified by C. S. Ballew, of Harg, Mo-, nix miles east of Columbia, who saw the great bird at close view.
 The beIled buzzard has been fa- mous for more years than men can remember. It has a bell fastened to It's throat, and has small iron band

Prosperity Item.

Last week we let our readers in on
the fact that our county attorney had
been sent to TOpek ka with the attornies
from Reno and staff ord counties to
interview the railroad powers that be
to ascertain if it was possible for this
county to get more than the SIS per
share they were offering for our stock
in the G. K. & w. road.
Mr.. Dyer reports a pleasant trip;
everyone was polite to him as was fit
ting, he being the only mourner from
this county attending the final obse-
quies. He was given front seat,
shown where the remains of the dear
departed were laid to rest, and as
sured that she died intestate.
He was shown conclusively that
when the final ceremonies took place
the dear departed was public charge
and that the only reason why we were
now offered the muniicent sum of So
per share was that we might know
that we were not entirely forgotten.
There was really nothing coming to
us, but the executors of the dear old
soul were willing to give us s44OO to
give up our stock and admit that we
had no claim to further favors.
Well, our consent can be had for
the asking, for when these bonds were
voted we all regarded it. as donation
party and, in fact, are rather inclined
to think we should feel insulted for
having returned to US something
which when we gave it away we never
expected to see again.
This is simply a case of the railroad
holding all of the chips. We don't
have to play if we don't want to, but
the game will go on just the same. If
we cash in the chips given US by the
dealer we are that much ahead, if we
don't the dealer keeps the stuff. So
let's take the money and credit Hanna
Mckinley with one more prosperity
item and congratulate ourselves that
we are no worse off than our neigh
bors, for we are getting as much as
the other fellows in the game. If we
were onto our job. from a political
standpoint, we would adopt the meth
DDS of the republicans and claim this
prosperity as due to the fact that this
county is under the management of
the populists, but there is nothing
small about US and we are willing that
Hanna M. should hog the whole thing.

Peoples Party Convention.

A delegate convention is hereby
called OF the populist and democratic
voters of Edwards county to meet at
the Court House in Kinsley on Satur-
day, May IL, 1901, at 10 a. m., for the
purpose of electing seven delegates to
attend the judicial convention to be
held at Larned, Kansas. on May 18th,
1901. The basis of representation will
be one delegate for each ten votes, or
major fraction thereof, cast for the
Hon. Abe Frakes for secretary of
state at the last general election.
The following is the number of dele
gates each township is entitled to:
Kinsley 10, Trenton 4. Belpre 4,
Lincoln 5, jackson 3, Logan 2, Brown

A judicial convention was held in
Alma on April 80 and Judge Tbomp-
son, republican, vas renominated. 1t
is generally believed that Stanley had
refused to appoint him under the new
election law and that this nomination
is made at this early date SO that a
case can be made and argued at the
June term of the Supreme Court. This
case will determine the status of this
law as far as it applies to judicial af-
fairs. The feature relating to the cleo
tion of county officers will probably
be tested in Shawnee county.
