KANSAS P0pULIsTS.
After Lively Fight II IL Decided Not to
Affiliate with Democrats
This Year.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 22.-The popu-
lists of Kansas, in session here yes
terday, decided late last night that
there would be no utilization between
the popullsts and democratic forces
in Kansas this year. A strong fac
ton led by ex-Congressman Ridgely
favored absolute surrender to the
democrats, but there were enough OF
the old-time populists to defeat this
plan.
The meeting was a lively fight
throughout. Majority and minority
reports were filed by the committee
on resolutions on the subject OF fu-
sion. These were referred back to
the committee and night session
ordered. At the night session exact
" the same reports were submitted,
one favoring and one opposing af'ila-
ton with the democrats. The fight
was stubborn and finally resulted in
accepting the majority report. No
plans for the future conduct Of the
party were made, other than that the
party would run its own affairs with
out the assistance of the democrats.

BURNT GUMB0 FOR PAVING.
Abilene Could Fix Streets Cheaply
With II.

II Abilene wanted to try burnt
gumbo as good road making mate
rial it would not have to 60 far for
the mud. There are several million
tons within few miles Of town. II
Abilene were to undertake such an
enterprise as to pave the streets In
this way, the residents would be only
too glad to make large donation; at
least the city would be entirely vel
come to such mud as now adheres TO
the shoes.
An almost inexhaustible supply ex.
lists in the vicinity. and never until
the railroad sent Its men here to ex.
pertinent with 1t as material for bal.
last did any person here imagine the
vile sticky stuff has any value, In
the east burnt gumbo is rapidly com.
ing into use for country roads. When
covered with this material roads are
never muddy or dusty. They keep
free from snow and ice, are slow to
get out Of repair, and weeds or grass
will not grow upon them. In the
east where burnt gumbo is used it is
stated that country roads are rem.
dered as passable all the year round
as a paved city street.
The credit Of making the first prac.
tical application Of this discovery be-
longs to the railroads. For several
years they have been using burnt
gumbo as ballast for their roadbeds,
In Illinois, Missouri, Iowa and other
states Of the middle west. 1t was
first intended as q substitute for
crushed rock in regions where rock
was not easily obtained; but 1t dem
its superiority SO plainly
that it is now used extensively even
where stone Is abundant.
The railroads find that they can
make and deliver the burnt gumbo on
board the cars at a cost OF rs to 80
cents a cubic yard. Is IT not worth
