congratulations of all his Allen coun-
ty friends.
Eldorado Republicans: Southeas
Kansas, which has gumbo soil sew
enteen feet thick, and which has to be
dynamited for farming purposes, is
now up towards the head of the pro-
cession. Right under this II feet of
gumbo is found lead, zinc, coal, coal
oil, and natural gas, and towns like
lola, which starved for thirty or forty
years while trying to live on the pro-
fits of the scattering butter and eggs
that came to market, are now the most
aourishing cities in the state. We
always believed southeast Kansas
ought to be good for something.
