Latest Kansas Events.


There was an innovation at the
funeral of Daniel P Williams, an old
resident of Leavenworth, when, music
to accompany the religious services
was furnished by photograph. Rev.
Samuel Pearson, pastor of the First
congregational church, was called on
to conduct religious services at the
home of the dead, and on learning
that no choir had been provided, took
along a photograph and the 'Holy
City, and Jesus, AS Thou Wilt
were rendered. This created some
surprise among the relatives and
friends of the dead, but they seemed
entirely satisfied. Rev. Mr.. Pearson
said he was well pleased with the
successful use of the photograph in
connection with funeral services, and
he would use it in the future where
there was no objection and it could
come in with propriety. He stated,
also, that he favored using the pho
nOgraph to furnish sacred music in
sickrooms and that he would fire.

Due to Postomce Rows.

Congressman Curtis led all othe,
district congressman in the matter
of majorities. His majority is near
the 5000 mark. Long comes next

1000 each, and Reeder about 1900.
The combined vote on the seven dis
trict congressman is from 5000 to
1000 less than Bailey received. This
is due to post office rows.

Congressman Charles Curtis re-
ceived the largest vote of any candi-
date on the republican ticket in
Shawnee county, his home. His vote
was 6,S77. His opponent, J. w. Wag-
ner, received but 1920, thus making
Mr.. Curtis majority 4,5S7. This is
probably as large a majority as was

Shawnee county. Mr.. Curtis received
653 votes more than Mr.. Bailey, and

Cruel Trick on the Russians.

Ellis county is made up of Russian
Catholics, and it's normal democratic
majority is about 700. Congressman
Reeder lost the county this time by
60 votes. 1t was due to an anonymous
story started the day before election.
Cole, the democratic nominee for con-
gress, spent couple of days among
the Russians and after he left some
one started story among them that
he was Methodist preacher. The
Russians all voted for Reeder.

The only man who was elected to
the Kansas house of 1895 as a demo-
crat was John Schlyer, of Ellis coun-
ty. In that house there were "a
other members in opposition to the
republicans, but all Of them bore the
name of populist, or fusion. Schlyer
alone bore aloft the democratic ban

the house, and he will find there

as democrats, and not one in the
body will be known as a populist.

The FLAGS BIRTHDAY

On June IA, 1777, the United States
congress resolved ''That the flag of the
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white; the union be
thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
presenting a new constellation" Tine
IA, 1777, was the birthday of the Stars
and Stripes and today Is its 125th an
niversary. The flag of 1777 differed
from that Of today only in the number
and arrangement of its stars. There
were but thirteen stars in the first flag,
and these were arranged in a circle.
The significance and origin of the de-
sign, as well as the person to whom the
credit of it's selection belongs, have
been matter for much conjecture and
argument. It is believed that the blue
field was taken from the banner of the
Scotch Covenanters, signifying the
league and covenant of the colonies
against oppression and sy1nbolizing
vigilance, perseverance and justice. BY
some 1t has been advanced that stripes
were introduced as a compliment to
Washington, in whose coat of arms
they appear. Washington probably
had more to do with the designing of
the flag than any other one person, and
the first one was made by Mrs. Eliza
beth Ross, of Philadelphia, who
changed the six pointed stars of Wash.

HOPE FOR CROPS.

Director John R. Sage, of the Iowa
FEATHER bureau, says that crop condi-
ions in this state at present are best
where there has been the least rain;
that there has been an enormous eX-
cess of moisture in many sections, the
rainfall reaching IS inches, enough for
a whole year. The crops are drowned
out in low places. The damage, he
thinks, will be considerable, but that
the chances are the crop output as
whole will be magnificent. Individual
losses from storm disasters will be
large and complete in many instances,
and some sections will feel the serious
effect Of it.
The outlook for good crops, as a
whole, is contingent upon having mod
erately dry weather for the remainder
of the season. No one can safely fore
cast what the future will be in this re-
spect, tho all are hoping that the ex-
cessive rains may cease.
An old Iowap recalls the fact that
somewhat similar season to this oc-
Cured in Iowa in 1858. The rains began
in the spring and continued at frequent
intervals well along into August. He
was farming in southern Iowa at the
time and says farmres lost their crops
as the result of the excessive rains.
Weeds ruined the corn, and oats and
other grains proved loss.
Seasons of this character have been
SO rare in Iowa that there is little to
base probabilities on in a comparative
way, and the guesser can only fall back
upon the average season as basis for
calculation. Upon such reckoning
there is large hope for good Iowa
crops.

ington's rough draft into one of five

ington's rough draft into one of five
points.
| In 1875 change was made in the
| flag. Congress ordered that after May
1 that there should be fifteen stars and
the same number of stripes and pro-
vided for the addition of one of each
with the admission of each new state.
Vermont and Kentucky were RESPONSE
Bile for the change in 1895. AS new
states came into the union it became
evident that additional stripes would
destroy the symmetry and beauty of
the flag, and in 1878 congress restored
the original number of stripes.
The real birthday of Old Glory oc-
CURED on January 2, 1876, when new
flag of thirteen stripes, but bearing on
the blue ground of it's corner the united
crosses of ST. Andrew and ST. George,
was unfurled before the new continent
tai army organized the day previous.
There the first continental army greet
ed with cheers the first flag of the unit
ed colonies.
Little did its originators and de-
signers, or the men who cheered the
symbol of rising liberty, dream of the
greatness it was to represent, the I'M
wildernesses into which it was des-
tined to lead civilization and law. None
could have foreseen that the flag and
the band of revolutionists it repre-
sented should grow into the dominant
political force of the world. Cramped
between the Appalachians and the
ocean no vision came to the new nation
Of domain stretching past the I'M
known shores and undiscovered islands
of the Pacific from the Gulf to Canada.
Imagination failed to conceive the pos
sibility of a nation Of ninety millions
cheered the flag that January day 125
years ago. 1t was built, however, and
it remains for those who live in the
age of its accomplishment to keep and
guard the flag and its symbolism. No
attack upon the flag or the men who
carry it at home or abroad should
gain the ear of true Americans. No at
tempt to discredit them or the admins
tration for political purposes should be
suffered to go unrebuked. The ragged
little continental army Of 1777 chcered
the flag. The armies of 1912, of the
'40s and SOS and of '9S have cheered ii
until the earth shook. 1t represents
the American people, and attacks upon
it or it's defenders will not be suffered
to go unheeded.

NO REBELS IN PARLIAMENT.

Much sympathy has been expressed
for Colonel Arthur Lynch. who has
been thrown into Jail by the British
government since his election to par
lament from an Irish Borough. He is
charged with high treason and is hav-
ing his hearing on this serious charge
today. There is disposition on the
part of those who sympathiZed with
the Boer cause to idealize Lynch into
a pure patriot and accuse the British
government Of seeking his martyrdom.
Those who take the trouble to inquire
into the facts and circumstances will
not, however, accept this view Of the
coloneTs case. He was and still IS a
subject, responsible to and under the
fought against his country in one OF
the most bitter struggles of its history
it is not denied or attempted to con-
ceai. Whatever the private character
or high courage of Col. Lynch may
have been, his sense of honor seems to
have failed him when he became a
traitor to his country. A citizen and
subject, responsible to anr under the
protection of Great Britain, he fought
with her foes. From the known facts
he is guilty of treason and amenable to
the penalty of his crime. He is outside
the general amnesty granted by the
peace terms, which expressly deny am
nesty to British subjects in rebellion,
excepting in the remission of the death
penalty. Col. Lynch is simply a rebel
lious British subject and must accept
the consequences of rebellion.
That British parliament would
tamely accept his accession to seat in
that body is entirely incredible and as
unlikely as that the United States con-
gress would welcome the deserving
traitors who have fought with the Fill
pinos. To levy war against the gov
eminent today and claim a seat in its
councils tomorrow is more evidence of
impudence than bravery and is lacking
in honesty and sensibility Col. Lynch
has little claim on the sy1npthy Of good
citizens. Had he restrained his imper-
thence and kept quietly at home with
out fiinging himself in the face Of the
British government he would very
likely have escaped unnoticed in the
general rejoicing that followed the
peace. There should be no SLAYER of
sympathy for Lynch in this country
emption from capital punishment.
