IN RI INLAND TOWNSHIP.
Farmers Planning Improving OF The
Roads.

The farmers OF Richland township,
northeast OF Jasper are evidently going
TO work in earnest on the roads OF their
township judging from the following
from the Lamar Democrat:
X. W. Harris, trustee Of Richland
Township, aud IL. Rhine, one of the
members OF tho township board, were
in Lamar, Saturday, figuring on buying
road grader TO be used on Richards
roads this summer MIR. Harris says
that the board is discussing the advis
Utility of hiring traction engine to pull
the grader, and not resort to horse power
at all, The farmers will he 50 busy, as
soon as the weather will permit work in
the fields or upon the roads, he says,
that il will be impossible To get any
body out to work. 1t is claimed that an
engine and a grader will put in good
condition three miles of road per day,
and as this can be done for about six
dollars, 1t is the cheapest way Of working
the roads. Then there is no annoy auce
about gettineiteams. Ask d about the
crop prospects, Mr.. Harris said the
larger percentage Of the corn down in
his neiShborhood is planted and up,
though the wet weather is sodding the
ground and turning the corn yellow. A
week or two OF good weather, though he
thinks, would change the face Of things,
wonderfully.

Littleness Gone to Seed.

w aShington, ID. c., Feb. T.
Senator-elect Long of Kansas is
quoted today as admitting the
truth of the statement that he
has not indorsed Senator Harris
of Kansas for a position on the
ISthmian canal commission, but
said that he had not protested
against the appointment. He
said he did not feel that he could
urge appointment of Democrats
to the exclusion of Republicans
from Kansas. Other members
of the Kansas delegation are
said to favor Harris.
The above dispatch from Wash
ington, published in the Hutch
inson News of Feb. 9TH, should
cause all honest republicans,
especially of the 7th COMPRESSION,
al district, to blush with shame
for the smallness, the political
parsimony of the man whom the
politicians have elevated to the
position of q. s. Senator. Every
Kansan, regardless ofparty, who
has watched the official course
of Senator Harris, acknowledges
that he is worthy of the honor
that would be conferred upon
him by his appointment on the
Isthmain Canal Commission: a
position for which he is pre-
eminently better qua lifted than
any other Kansan. Yet, while
all the other members of the
Kansas delegation in Congress
are large enough, patriotic
enough and liberal enough to
give their endorsement to Sena-
tor Harris; that pettifoging
politician, that ultra, republican,
republican, (whom, be it said to
their shame, some democrats of
this district voted to send to
Congress in years past) declines
to give his endorsement, al
though no man from Kansas is
seeking the position except Col.
Harris. Chester [. Long is too
little to be a Kansan.

their painters when they go to see the

enterprise along as the entire proceeds

OF this exhibit the st. Louis
Democrat says. The Art League
Exhibition at the High School is
succeeding beyond the expectation of
the most sanguine of its promoters
Friday there were 5000 school chill
dren in the building to see the exhi bit.
Many had to be sent home for that
day, and a scheme has been devised
for admitting the pupils from vari Gus
sections. so as to afford all the same
opportunities. Superintendent Soldan
is highly gratihed on the success of the
Exhibition now in progress. Il regard
this exhibition" be sad, ''as one
of the greatest mediums for educating
the pupils that has been attempted n
recent years. Over o.ooo school.
children, with their parents and rela-
tives. have already witnessed the ex.
ision. The photographs are marvel
Gus works of art, and IN my estimation
have never been surpassed in beauty
and merit" 1t is matter of general
surprise that the school children have
taken such an interest in the exhibit.
They come with their catalogue already
marked. and express their preferences
and favoritism with surprisingly good
taste.
