A FUNERAL AND AN ATTACK.

Some one who attended the funeral of Littleton s
Crum at Oswego written piece to the Kansas City
Journal which is attracting much attention throughout
Kansas The piece is anonymous and is roast on the
prominent political friends Of the late Sir "rum who
did not attend last rites He mentions them by name
The writer declares that their political activities IL
other parts of the state did permit them to 90 TO
the funeral Lit Crum was of the most lovable
men in the Copeland county set this writes He
was always oblging and accommodating No night was
eyer too dark or trip for him in case friend
was in peril either politically physically Yet when
he died and the last opportunity for those whom
he had served to pay their respects by attending his
funeral, they failed to show up"

not worth the candle. little recognition of the

leisure and a little less idolatrouB submission the
demands Of business wouldn't harm Kansas bit.
