We used to hear so much about
the Populist legislatures making
Kansas the laughing stock of the
United States. We are of the
opinion that Mrs. Nation is far
ahead of any Kansas Legislature
in diverting attention to this
state. Talk about mob law, if
her actions would not incite it we
do not know what would.

By chance we saw a copy of
Fish Warden Wiley's report last
week. We notice variety of
fish shown in different cuts.
Among these we notice one in
which we are more than interest
ed, because it is an inhabitant of
this part of the state. 1t is cat
fish of the long, slim variety,
(appleas athis puttis) or common
1y known as the 1obo catfish. We
are pleased that George has TAX
en- such interest in presenting
this particular variety to the peo-
pie of Kansas. This fish is par
ticularly adapted to the western
part of the state. Ordinarily, in
size it is about 80 inches in length
and about ~ inches in width at
the widest part of its body. In
the western part of the state
where the streams are shallow
and go dry part of the year, this
fish can live without any difficulty.
Its narrow body will easily per-
init it to live in the streams, and
when the dry summer months
come the fish can leave the pools
and embark into the buffalo
grass which grows about 3 inches
high along the creeks, where it
can live until the late summer
rains begin to fall, when it will
return to its home in the water.
Mr.. Wiley introduced this fish
into Kansas from the Sahara
desert where it is the chief food
supply of the inhabitants. Mr..
Wiley deserves great credit for
his untiring efforts to secure a
fish adapted to this western coun-
try, and we hope everyone will
secure some to stock any pools
that may be on their places.
They do exceedingly well in buff
falo wallows. Remem Der the
name-lobo catfish-when max
ing a requisition for same. The
technical name-appleas athis
putttus-is not necessary. Just
send for 1obo catfish and George
will know what you want.

1--WE are tired" says the editor
of the Scranton Gazette, "of the
continual grumble inaugurated
by some of our subscribers, be-
cause we don't publish some
things thatought to be published.
We have decided to try the Shell
don idea. We want a man who
has nerve enough to say what he
thinks-to take charge of the
Gazette and run it for one week.
We don't care if he is an enemy
of the editor, that cuts no ice in
this deal. If he wants to roast
the editor to a nice brown he has
the privilege to do so. Alive re-
quire of the man is to say what
he thinks and try to please the
peop1e-both the classes and the
masses. If a man who would like
to accept this offer is too timid to
come to US and talk about it, why
send note through the postof6ce
If more than one wants to run
the paper we will hold an cleo
ton, placing box in some bust
ness house in Scranton and allow
everyone to vote who is of age,
(not only the men but the women
as well and also the young ladies
who are not too bashful to admit
they have passed sweet sixteen
Not only the Gazette will be al
lowed to vote, but every resident
of Scranton and vicinity. Tick
cts will be printed at this Office
and handed to every voter by the
editor. The ballot box will not
be opened until the close of the
election.
1.-The man who is elected to
fill the editors sanctum for one
week controls the entire news
edition of the Gazette for that
week. We have no more to say
aboutwh shall be cut out or put
in than an innocent on-looker.
We will simply set the type and
print the paper, regardless of
what it contains"

A bill has been introduced into
both branches of the Kansas Leg
islature, appropriating 100000
for the Kansas.'Semi-Centennial
Exposition to be held in 1904.
When the features of this bill
are fully understood, it does not
seem that anyone interested
in Kansas and taking a pride in
its splendid achievements could
oppose it.
In the first place, not a cent of
the money appropriated will be
available until the citizens of
Shawnee county shall have put
up 100000 in cash, and paid the
same into the Exposition treas
ury. Then only 100000 of the
amount appropriated shall go to
the use of the Exposition COM
mittee. The remaining $500, 600
or the bulk of the appropriation,
shall be under the control of a
committee of seven, one for each
congressional district, to be ap-
pointed by the Governor, who
shall make a report to the Cover
nor every thirty days, and whose
expenditures shall be accounted
for as other expenditures are ac-
counted for.
That the matter shall be en-.
tirely non-partisan, it is provided
that not more than four of the
commissioners shall belong to
the same political party.
1t is intended that the State
building and exhibit will be paid
for out of this fund.
Should the bill pass, the dele
CATION in Congress will take hold
and endeavor to secure an appro
priation from the National Gov
eminent.
Another source of revenue t.
insure the success of the Exposi
ton will be from the sale of CAPT
tai stock.
The Exposition will be ofgrea
Importance to the state. It will
draw people from all over thu
east and give them a chance t.
see what Kansas has really done
and to see us here at home.
Every citizen should urge hi
Senator and Representative il
Topeka, to vote for the bill.
