Mrs. E. NJ Morrill, is expected home this
week from Chicago, where she is now visiting.
Her health is much improved.
Joe Rush tells the Robinson Index that in

President Gompers, Of the American Fedora

In sizing up the political 81 uation in the
First congressional district, the Kansas City
Star says of Captain Scbi ling and Brown
county: "Schilling will put up hard fight
against Curtis. He is man of wealth, and he
will spend money. Besides, he is one of the
best-known men in the state; and the fact that
he is fighting Curtis will. add weight to that
side of the contest elsewhere in he district. In
Brown county, he Is. good citizen, popular,
agreeable and crafty, and he has widespread in
huence. There is not man in Kansas who
can be more useful to friend or more hurtfu
to an enemy. He knows more politics than
any other citizen of Brown county. M

The farmer is sore. Few people enjoy defeat.
Again, his w;re edge has been taken off by
an application OF capitalistic prosperity"
What brought the prosperity? Good crops
at home and bad crops and famines abroad
brought part of it.
Initiation broug ght more. Republicans in 1896
denounced imitation as the sum Of all villainies,
and, on acqurin power, proceeded at once to
initiate. Newly discovered gold, sixteento-one
silver bank no es and bank credits, all were
used.
Republicans probably out -Bryaned Bryan in
initiating the currency but they sawed wood

Imitation produced its inevitable effect. 1t

About half-past eleven, Friday morning, John
Conley took his gun, an old Zulu musket, and
told his wife he was going to kill dog. He
went down 10 the hen house, placed the butt of
the gun against barrel, and pulled the trigger
with lath. The charge struck him in the
stomach and death ensued in about ten minutes.
Coroner Leigh was summoned, but decided that
there was no need to hold an inquest. Conley's

he came near burning up. He was about fifty

Can any good come out Of Kansas City, Kan
sas2 Perhaps. For years it has been dirty,
debauched hole. First, the prohibitory law was
dehed, then the gambling law was de6ed. Open
defiance Of any law brings host Of evils in its
train, and for years, things have been going
from bad to worse. Finally, the members of
the school board were caught boodling, and a
crusade for better government was started. A
grand jury was asked for, and will soon 60 to

tician, who owes his election to the fact that he
was bright and shining church light, who
could make promises to the law-breaking ele.
ments, said in public speech that he knew
there were joints and gambling houses in the
city, but that the putlic wanted them, and that
he wouldn't close them up. This speech got
him into trouble, and the probers propose to
have him impeached, along with the county Ct
torney. This is beginning at the right place.
The most dangerous citizen in the community
is not the petty law-breaker, but the public Of

do his duty. The mayor of Kansas City ought
to be lmpeached -and there are others.

Tom CordrY, of Salina, has evolved new
scheme of hand ling the liquor traffic in Kansas.
He calls 1t the little "jag-tag system. He.
wants to put Tag ou every dru,kard, the same
as dogs are tagged in the cities. We have
been starting at the wrong end to suppress the
liquor traffic. said he. We have been going
after the men who sell it. Why not begin with
the consumer? II we can get him to stop

for man to wear tag all the time, advertising

White House Employees Appear ia Uniform.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Secretary Loeb in
tends that the White House shall resemble some
OF the foreign courts, if too much rdicule is
not aroused by his innovation.
Eight messengers appeared today in uniforms
of dark blue with nickel buttons, and 1t is the
secretary inter ion to compel every employe
in the White House and executive Offices to don
auniform of some SOFT. The uniforms planned
for the ushers at the White House are gorgeous,
and will remind the travelled visitors of the
courts CT Europe Even Chief Usher Stone will
be atired in brilliant color.
Mr. Roosevelt has given the plan his tacit
approval, but, it too much of row is kicked
up, Mr.. Loeb will have to stand all the blame.
John Addison Porter, secretary to President
Mckinley, was another who tried to make the
White House look like foreign court He or
dered Captain Loeff1er, the Presidents docr-
keeper, who is an officer in the army, to appear
in his dress Uniform. Mr.. Mckinley spotted
Loef1 II when he opened the dooi the Arst time,
and asked why he was in uniform. Captain
Loeffler referred him to Secretary Porter, who
said he thought it would look more dignfed to
Kinley was very angry.
6 This is republic" said Mr.. Mckinley,
"not monarchy. Send Loefaer home to
change his clothes"
Until Mr.. Loebs advent no one since then
has had the courage to suggest uniforms at the
White House.
