have climbed over the wall. The for

August In st. Louis Is month OF
cool nights and September and Octo-

the year. It is that period known as
Indian summer, when the foliage and
birds linger to challenge the coming
winter. Nowhere on the American con-
tinent Is there a spot more delightful
than the Worlds Fair city. a garden
Of blooming flowers and spraying foun-
tains.
St Louis, like all cities. experienced
several hot days during July, but her
highest temperature recorded was 93

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

good thing after ALL
That is what Sam Hale of La Crosse
said Tuesday afternoon when he met
a bunch of state house people for the
first time since the st. Louis conven-
ton, in which he sat as a delegate-at-
large from Kansas.
| Hale left the Republican party eight
years ago on the money question. He
has been cOntending ever since that the
Republican party was all right in some
ways but it was wrong on the money

have practically declared for the gold
standard also he knew he would be the
subject of lot of testing by his Re
publican friends.
Glad to welcome you back into the
Republican ranks, Sam said State
Printer George Clark.

c. S. Finch publishes the following in
his Lawrence Gazette:
Honestly and fairly, Mr.. Democrat
and Mr.. Republican, what obligation
are you under to vote for any man who
did not receive his nomination fairly
and by a majority vote of his primary
or his convention? The man who de-
mands your vote because of party feal-
ty. must first show a clear title to his
nomination. There are at least two
men who are going to ask for Republi-
can votes here this fall on the ground
that they are Republican nominees,
neither of whom has the slightest right
or title to the office, save what he OBJ
tanned through fraud and ballot stuff

them, it is necessary to endorse the
methods by which they received their
nominations. You have a guess COM

Atchison party did not get drunk and

people were unusually friendly to the
visitors and handed them numerous
compliments.
The train which took the AtchiSon
party into Yankton carried about two
thousand people, in two sections. The
Atchison party registered without
much delay. and left for home yester-
day afternoon. In Yankton a thous-
