Here's Q Scheme.

Kansas City journal: "Why not
fight out the reciprocity question this
summer under three-ring circus
tentP Make a sort Of triple tie dis.
cussion, with Burton, Long and Stan
ley as the stars. First let Stanley
get up and talk Mexican reciprocity.
Long could withdraw his former re-
marks against that and let Stanley
have fair start. Stanley would
favor the exchange Of Kansas wheat
and corn and other products for Mex
lean fruits and coffee. Then Long
could follow and move, to amend by
striking out Mexican reciprocity and
inserting Cuban reciprocity. He did
it long ago and played havoc with
Stanley's Mexican reciprocity league.
Long could insist that instead OF trad
ing Kansas corn and wheat and other
products to Mexico for coffee that
those products should be traded
to Cuba for sugar to put in coffee.
Then Burton could follow and oppose
Longs scheme Of Cuban reciprocity
and advocate the sale OF wheat and
corn and other products to Cuba and
raise sugar beside. Then Long
could take fall out of Stanley for
favoring Mexican reciprocity and also
take a fall out Of Burton for not fav-
oring Cuban reciprocity Burton
could come back at Long for opposing
Mexican reciprocity while advocating
Cuban reciprocity. Stanley could
chip in and pound both Long and
Burton for opposing reciprocity of
any kind. II q three-ring outfit be-
came a tame affair Charlie Curtis
could set up side show with Indian
reciprocity, advocating the exchange
Of Kansas products to the Indians on
the south for tomahawks. This to fit
the growing demand among some OF
the leaders in Kansas just now for
tomahawks. They want tomahawks
more than Cuban sugar beet sugar or
Mexican coffee"

Crsddock'v Cam paign.

Mayor W. II. Craddock, candidate for gov.
ernor. will open the campaign In the Fifth
district at Junction City, July iS.-[News
We thought bis campaign was open
already. The literary bureau has is
sued a campaign document which
runs In this wise:
III you love the law. vote the
straight Democratic ticket. II you
love your family, vote the straight
Democratic ticket. you love your
home, vote the straight Democratic
ticket. II you love your friend, vote
the straight Democratic ticket. II
you love your neighbor, vote the
straight Democratic ticket. II you
love honesty, vote the straight DEM
ocrstic ticket. II you love truth,
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
II you love justice, vote the straight
Democratic ticket"
This is all right as starter and
ought to add many recruits to Mr..
Craddock's following, but the shrewd
fusion managers are not going to stop
there. They have in preparation a
supplementary batch Of cockdologers
which will shortly be sprung on the
public and which is expected to be
even more effective than the first one.
An advance copy has reached this Of
flee and will be published as soon as
released. 1t goes to this tune:
III you love your mother-in'law
when present as we'll as when absent,
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
II you love the family cat, vote the
straight Democratic ticket. II you
love to breathe air, vote the straight
Democratic ticket. Ityou love fried
onions, vote the straight Democratic
ticket. II you love straight whisky
vote the straight Democratic ticket
II you love political monkey business,
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
II YOU love whiskers, vote the straight
Democratic ticket. II you believe
fusion is honest, vote the straight
Democratic ticket. II you believe
the moon is made of green cheese,
vote the straight Democratic ticket.
II you can't find any straight Demo-
cratic ticket to vote, vote the crooked
mongrel ticket that is headed BY the
Yon. w. H. Craddock.
II that does not open a campaign,
what under the shining sun is neces-
saryp

Some good Republican papers are
being led astray on this Cuban reci'
procity question. They are making
the same arguments against the beet
sugar industry that the Democrats
employed a few years ago in the tin
plate matter. The Democratic argu'
ment was wrong then and the same
line Of reasoning is wrong now. Our
esteemed brethren should stop and
take their bearings.

Wabash Railroad.

The Wabash has just placed orders for more than $3,OO0, ,O0O worth of eighty-pound steel rails. This summer $1,000,000 in steel rails will be laid on the Wa bash lines to Kansas City, to Omaha, and to Des Moines.
 Sixty thousand tons of steel rails will be laid on the Wheeling and Lake Erie and on the Pitts burg division.
 It is the intention to have the rails for the Western lines down in time for the World $ Fair in St. Louis. Contracts for the work will soon be let, and the construction will then imme- diately begin.
 Orders for these rails have just been placed by President Joseph Ramsey, Jr. He said yesterday:
 ''The finest roadbed in the world is not too good for us.
 The World s Fair is going to bring hundreds of thousands of
  people into St. Louis. We intend to make our record for carrying visitors to the Fair to eclipse that made by us during the Pan American Exposition at Buffalo. "
 The road is already figuring on an enlargement of service, and an addition in equipment to handle tremendously heavy business. Increase in the com pany's gros earnings for the ifs cal year, July, 1, 1901, to Jauu- ary 31, 1902, have reached almost $1 100000, and the passenger de- partment has made the remark able record several times of al most equaling the earnings of the freight department.
 The company's Pittsburg inn provements are well under way. Everything in that direction will be completed in time for the Fair, which is the objective time of all the roads improvements. Republic.

OBITUARY.

With sad heart I write this of my brother Luther Jones, the oldest son of MT. and Mrs. $. E. Jones, age eighteen years and nine months. He died February Fist, 1902. He suffered five long weeks with pneumonia. He bore his suffering without murmer, and seemed to be getting better until few hours before his death. He often talked of get ting well, but oh, that was not to
 be. It is so hard to give him up, but we must submit to our Savior's will; and we feel that God in his wisdom sent all angel down to bear his spirit home. He was a kind loving brother and son. He was loved by all who knew him. We can only hope to live so as to meet him on the other shore when we are called to go. He was buried at Beard s grave yard.
 We shall meet, but we shall miss him There win be one vacant chair We shall finger to caress him While we breathe our evening prayer. When little while ago we gathered
 Joy was in the wild blue eye, But a golden cord is severed And our hopes in ruin lie. Too many trials and crosses on earth for our darling to bear Too many heart aches for our darling to share.

midst. It will be an incentive for more brick buildings and better houses in our community. While we know the town treasury hasn't money enough to build the house of brlck, yet we citizens, who want to see our town grow, can give our little might. This will not be one mans house, but belong to us all.
 In order to start the ball to roll, the News man will donate twenty-five ($25.00) dollars to- ward this movement. Who will be next? The News will be glad to see one sentinel of progress lift his head skyward in our town as token of the push and energy of our citizenship. Let us push this to the front. The News will be ready to mention any further donations looking to- ward brick city hall. No one will ever regret it, but after it is finished, every man will feel prouder of our town than before.
