Senior Senator From Kansas
Goes to Osborne.
viii Become a Citizen Of Sixth
District.
HE FIRST DROPS OUT.
District Will No Longer Have a
United States Senator.
New Location Favorable to Po-
litIcal Preferment.

United States Senator w. "A. Harris
is migrating this spring to western
Kansas He sold his farm ranch in
Leavenworth county a few weeks ago,
and has bought a thousand-acre ranch
near Osborne, in Osborne county, and
will engage in the breeding of fine stick
upon a larger scale than ever Senator
Harris disposed of much of his stock
on his Linwood ranch at public sale
recently.
By the emigration of Senator Harris
and the political retirement of ex-Sen-
ator Baker, Leavenworth county is left
to bemoan the fact that it is now with
out a United States senator of it's own.
The removal of Senator Harris to
Osborne county in political significance,
as far as it has any, will give him a
possible strengthening of his fences in
his own party. Senator Harris would
be looking for a reelection if, by any
chance, the Populists should regain con-
troll of the legislature.
The First district had but one member
in the last egislature-Pete Laughlin.
of Muscotah. There were eight or nine
from the short grass counties in the
Sixth. In case there is ever anything
more coming to Senator Harris in his
own party councils he wants a strong
delegation at his back, and he would
stand a much better chance of going
into a convention with a big following
from the Sixth than in the sWeepingly
Republican First district
