SMALLPOX SITUATION.
DR.. r. M. Scott Furnishes Soliphone
Another Report.

The smallpox situation today is
about the same as it was yesterday y.
While there is one new case it is
nevertheless apparent that there is
now little or no danger of the disease
spreading to any great extent.
The report furnished the Soliphone
this afternoon at $3.50 o'clock by DR..
Scott is as follows:
"All parties are doing well. One
new case today, John Hart, who left
the home of G. Witt last MONDAY
night, was located at Mrs. Cole s, on
the Huntsman place today with a
mild case of the disease.

WAR VS.. CARPET BAG RULE.

The crimes of war are horrible. War is
brutality. In 1853 "Yank'' who was on
picket hailed 'Jehnny Reb' and asked
him if he was not tired of the war. The
Johnny said he was, and ia return the
Yank said he had enough of it, and that
he had scheme to end it. The Johnny
then replied, 'sScheme, why you ID
Yanks are always scheming to get tie
best of every body and everything, what is
your scheme?n Yank: compel the pres
idents and their cabinets and the congress
OF both sections to be placed in ten-ac
field and compel them to fight it out. III
this is done the war will be ended in ten
minutes The reply Of the Northerner
staggered the Southern boy. He could not
comprehend the idea awakened by the
scheme of his blue-coated foe. Was he not
a patriot and did he not willingly sacri-
flee everything he possessed on the altar
of his country9 He turned and walked
down the line. The proposition was be-
yond his ken. The war continued. Apo
mattox, and the end came, the boy shed
bitter, scalding tears at such end. Who
that was at Appomattox can forgets Men
who knew not fear were dumb with ago.
nv and life to them seemed worse than
hopeless. But the Yank fed the starving
Johnny. The wealthy foe extended aid to
the impoverished enemy. Grant, the sol
tlier. won the admiration OF the Southern
soldiery. The last act of the surrender is
performed. Lees Army is history.
The heart broken ex-soldier seeks his
desolated home. The want, misery and
poverty of Southland was beyond the
power of pen or brush. The hand of God
lay heavy upon the people. Then came the
days of Reconstruction and Carpet-bag-
ism, The cruelties of war was driven from
the Southern mind by the fienaishness and
hellishness of the reign of the carpet
Dagger and the Freedman's bureau. The
Republican admistration with Republi-
can house and senate endorsed every act OF
infamy and villainy aud proclaimed the
plunaerers of Southland loyal citizens.
The Republican party ever the party OF
hypocrisy, now possessed full power. and
it's leaders lost no time in opening their
walls of hatred and malice upon the people
OF the stricken South. War is hell, but a
carpet-bag government, supported by the
republican party and upheld by bayonets,
is double distilled hell, with mans little
ness and meanness added. Hatred and
vice ruled at Washington and protected
ignorance and infamy in their misrule in
every Southern capitol. The word loyalty
became synonym with infamy. The poll
tician and fanatic were masters OF the situ-
uation Every Southern state was bank
rupted. The republican press of the North
rejoiced over the villainy Of their loyal
co.partners in the South, and especially
proclaimed their qualification over the
degradation and misery Of South Caro-
lima.

An ExcELLENT IDEA.

In the proposition of @. r. Werner,
prominent citizen and farmer of Colby.
to have congress establish five gov
ernmental experimental stations in the
semi-arid region of the west. there is
something that should be of direct in
terest to the people Of this part of the
country. Even if the gold shale bust
ness does pan out" there will be some
room for the person who has a wish to
devote himself to an agricultural pur-
suit to follow out that ambition.
But Kansas is prominently farm
ing state, and as such should lend IA
vor to any project that is to build up
its own resources, which in this way it
possesses in such q great degree KAN
sas is well favored in natural conditions
and there are industries aside from that
of farming and stock growing that
profit the people much; but primarily
the state is dependent upon this, and
is likely to remain so. Therefore it is
wise that whatever can be done to inl-
prove and enhance these industries
should be encouraged. The population
is only an infinitesimal part of what it
might be were all the conditions culti-
waited to their utmost, and of what it
is bound to be some day. Now the only
way to reach any proper conception
regarding the worth OF anything is by
testing it, and that is what the expert
ment station everywhere is trying to
do. Under the supervision of experts.
tests with agricultural products ard
live stock are conducted in such a way
that results cannot be mistaken when
applied to the general farming and
stoek-growing conditions of the less
careful producer Thus the worth of
the country is determined and means
which those who are to occupy it should
employ for securing the best living are
found It is in promotion of this that
Mr.. Werner's plan is an excellent one.
not only for Kansas but for Oklahoma,
Nebraska and other states or territories
where they may be established.
With the rapid development Of the
sugar beet industry of the past two
years a strong impetus has been given
to the extension of the cultivation of it
in the dry districts. and in western
Kansas it has been found a money
maker In Nebraska the land has been
given up to the cultivation Of this crop,
and in connection with the manufac-
ture Of sugar from the beets. cattle and
sheep feeding have proven profitable
side industries.
In furtherance of the experiment sta
ton idea this scheme of Mr. Werner
if followed up will be Of inestimable
value to the middle west

THE AARON BURR LEGION.

The late Aaron Burr committed some
serious crimes during his sojourn with
the fathers Of our country. but undoubt-
eddy the worst was done when his spirit
melted number of eastern citizens to
organize what is to be known as the
Aaron Burr Legion"
The object of this curious organization
is to wash the name Of Aaron Burr and
make it white as snow. Soap and Sa-
polio companies could make a hit by
advertising their wares for this wild ef-
fort. They VIII begin by appointing
committee to carefully prune all history.
both modern and medieval. of all in
situations Of a. character calculated to
cast dark brown gloom over the shin
ing name Of the immortal Burr. Some
radical collector of ancient lore may
object to the pruning Of his vineyard of
truth, but It is supposed that the COM
mittee win visit such unreasonable in
dividuals in force. and overrule their
objections by sheer numbers. The Le-
gion win begin by creating a fund to
purchase all pictures and prints of Burr,
after which their staff artist win paint
a Nile green halo around the apex of
each such print or picture. The sections
of colonial history which charge the in
spring genius of this Legion with
smoking Turkish cigarettes and eating
blackberry pie with a spoon viii be
carefully eradicated. after which win
come the cleansing of the lesser mis-
demeanors, such as the preneditated
slaughter of one Alexander ilton,
prior to which he spent the afternoons OF
several consecutive days in his pasture
lot firing at a target in anticipation of
the great event his successful efforts
to ALLEVIATE the affections of a certain
Mrs. Blennerhassett, while he led by
the nose" the husband of the lady And
also the vile calumnies purporting to
be history. in which Mr. Burr is sub
jected to dark hints Of infidelity to his
native land. and to also correct the
brazen assertion that he tried. at one
time, to steal something he could not
carry away, to wit: a portion of the
United States!
After history, literature and public
sentiment go through the whitening pro-
cess, a piece of virgin marble will be
carved into a sanity carieature of the
worthy departed, and the elect will bask
at the feet of their earyen image. BY
this time the Legion viii probably

FuNsroN REPRIMAND.

Within the passing week President
Roosevelt has been compelled to admin
lister severe rebuke to General Fun
ston. The doughty little warrior while
a famous fighter is also a man Of violent
prejudiees and says what he thinks re-
CARELESS Of the prophecies of the oc-
casion or Of others feelings
Perhaps the Philippine hero felt that
he knew more OF the actual condition Of
affairs in that far away land than did
Senator Hoar in Washington. but that
was hardly an excuse for so vigorous an
application of epithets as the Kansas
man has been dealing out lately to those
opposed to his policy.
A grave mistake of General Funston
was his announcement that President
Roosevelt was aware Of his ideas on the
Philippine situation and gave him carte
blanche to exploit them.
The chief magistrate having had
occasion to reprimand General Miles
for talking too much" could scarcely
overlook the offense of General Fun
ston. The controversy is to be deplored.
Funston has proven himself a brave
officer and one who never shirked his
duty but he has yet to learn that an
officer Of the United States army may
do great deal of thinking. but if ne
gives the thoughts expression he is IN
danger.
The general has undoubtedly got be-
fore the public what he desired to say.
and can therefore afford to gracefully
subside.
