Warm Welcome for Agents.

News comes from the southwestern
part Of Saline county Of the summary
treatment Of two lightning rod agents
by the farmers Of that locality. The
agents came into the neighborhood
several days ago and began to work
among the farmers. They finally Sc
cured a large order from one farmer,
but as soon as his neighbors found it
out they organized an alleged hunting
party. When the agents appeared to
put up the rod the party, armed with
rifles and shotguns, met them at the
farmers house and warned them to
leave the country at once, which they
did.

NOT SENATOR'S DUTY.
Senator Burton Will Leave Postmas'
ters to Congressman.

WASHINGTON, D. G, Jan. S0.-ir
speaking Of the report that he woulc
have considerable to do with the ap'
pointments Of postmasters in Kansas
Senator Burton said tonight:
From my correspondence would
infer that the impression exists that
the senator is able to name the post
masters through the state.
"Postoffices are the absolute patron
age OF the congressman. ! have no
more to do with the naming OF post
masters than private citizens have,
except in the Third district Of Kansas
which is Democratic.
.In this connection the president
informed me today that this rule has
grown to be obligatory, and that it
will be my duty to name the post
masters in the Third district but in
no other"
The impression that the senator
has the naming Of postmasters arises
from the fact that in 1896 nearly all
the Republican candidates for con-
gress were defeated, and the senator
was the only one who had the naming
Of the postmasters under the circum-
stances.

excellent taste and there was an utter
absence Of friction in everything that
