Circulation Statement.


1t is with the deepest regret the people
OF this country learn today that their
confidence in the speedy recovery Of
their stricken Chief Magistrate has
been premature. and that. a few hours
age. he was at deaths door. Whether
that dark portal is to open for him is
question which any hour or moment
may decide. At latest accounts ne was

most optimistic around him. had a
chance to overcome the conditions
which So nearly proved fatal at two
o'clock this morning.
As early as eight o'clock last evening
symptoms Of an unfavorable character
which had been noticed some time be-
fore, became acute and, later. alarm
ing. In the night a crisis was encoun-
tered and the President was only kept
alive by injections of a saline solution
to which his heart responded but
feebly. DIT. Mynter. one of the attend
ing physicians, stated that indications
OF intestinal blood poisoning had been
discovered. The bulletins show that

all his vital organs in normal condition.

ton. the strain Of such treatment might

As the public is given 70 understand.
all was going well with the iIlustrious
patient until il was found that nutri-
tion could no longer be effected by alb
normal metl DDS. and then il was de-
Cided TO administer food in the usual
way. A natural appetite held out the
hope that the stomach would perform
its functions and it seemed TO while
nouEishmeut was confined TO beef
juice. But when other and more sub
stantm food was ventured upon the
results were unfortunate. as we see.
This change in the situation at Buff
falo viii be all the more "a shock 20 the
country. because Of the optimistic bull
letins and reports which have been
regularly given out since Sunday. Ply
sicians. surgeons. Cabinet officers. and
personal friends have We'd with one
another in building up a national i'm
preston that the danger point had
been passed and that convalesence had
begun. Perhaps all this confidence was
justifi3ble on the basis Of appearances.
But it now seems that the risk Of in
festival blood poisoning had not been
overcome, nor the danger that the
Presidents heart had been strained
and weakened more than he or his ply
siCians could realize.

Kansas After the Drought.

Last summers drought was "a heavy
blow TO Kansas and the other states
that were subjected to the same mis-
fortune BY this, however. II must not
be understood that the States referred

fort Everything in this world is com

mean misery and want 10 one person,
while a loss Of a hundred thousand dol
lars is utterly inconsequentiaI to an
other.
In Illustration Of this we may profit
ably glance at the condition Of Kan

lars in prospective wealth were de-
stroyed within the space Of a few
weeks Some very bright hopes were
dashed There was a forced deferring
Of payments. and. in particular cases.
people may have been put under con-
siderable pressure. But there are no
reports Of actual suffering in any part
Of the state In the main the so-calIeI
loss" is mere wiping out of pros
pective profits Taken as a whole. KAN
sas is still tiourishinE. and the cOndI-
tons prevailing compared with those
of a few years ago are really splendid.
The reasons are that the State has been
accommodating wealth rapidly during
recent years, and although the crops
destroyed would have been of great
value if harvested. those remaining are
also OF great value-quite sufficient
standing by themselves 10 insure the
community against anything like a
general setback.
The wheat crop Of Kansas is CON
servatively estimated at ninety million
bushels. The money value viii depend
upon the price and the quantity that
can be spared for the market II we
assume that sixty millions can be sold.
and that it viii net the farmer sixty

million dollars in cash 10 the wheat

alone This is nearly 0ue-half the total
gold output Of the United States. and
wheat. IL must be remembered. is only
one Of several important crops There
IS still much corn. oats. hay. vegetables
and live stock products Of various
kinds. For the year 1900. the total
value 81 the States agricultural prod
ucts is given at nearly one hundred
and eighty-eight million dollars. Il
viii therefore be seen that Kansas
could suffer heavy crop losses and stiI
De in a condition far from unfavOrable.
A circumstance Of vast benefit 60 the
State AT this time is the general lifting
Of the farm mortgages during the last
three or four years The crops have
been unusually good and the foreign
demand exceptionally strong. As a re-
suit thousands Of homes have been
freed from heavy burden Of debt. and
the owners are now prepared 10 view
with good deal of philosophy the par

to realize anticipated profits may be a
disappointment, bat In itself. it brings
no suffering.

We hope the boys OF the newspaper
fraternity, who have not PUNCHED up
their two dollars and become members
of the Wyoming Press Association, Will
take note OF what that association has
accomplished in the way OF getting up a
state convention to promote the inter
ests of the state. The members oil the
association builded better than they
knew. When they started put on the
proposition to do something for the
state they had no idea that the entire
country would go wild over the proposi-
ton and hoop up old Cain as they nave
done. They knew how the association
felt about the matter and knew that
n united effort would do much, but they
are very ~agreeably surprised at the
result.
We should like to say. to all the news
paper boys that we hope they will not
fail to show up at Laramie. Remember
that each of you have had your part IN
this work and hat it has been a credit
able part and, remember also, thai you

vention is a grand success. Wesaiso hope
that you will put two dollars extra in

The organization OF a Board of Trade
in this city is a step in the right direc-
ton, provided it Is properly handled and
KEEP" together firmly. Too often such
organizations are attempted in small
cities only to become a farce in a short
time and to disintegrate leaving behind
them an evil odor that no one cares to
come in contact with. But with proper
care and a determination to work for the
good OF the entire community, an or
g%anization OF that character can be
made OF great benefit to any town.
Such al organization has been needed
here for some time and we believe the
present is a very suspicious moment for
its inception.
