I Worlds fair at Chicago. now in the
Chicago Field museum
The grave yards often are in the
rear of the buildings where the mesa
top narrows and where the floor and
roofs merge together. Here were
J found mummies in a good state OF
preservation, usually wrapped in a
coarse mating with an inside wrap
ping of feather cloth. The dry at
mosphere OF this region acts as a
powerful preServative of these bodies
Although the ruins have been well
dug over there can still be found bits
of pottery, yucca thread, fur and
feather articles of apparel, also corn
cobs and primitive cribs in which this
Indian cereal was stored
There are evidences that this re-
gion was TILED with the help of a
carefully planned system of irrigation
under which the now arid valleys of
the Rio Mancos and the Montezuma
were made to blossom as a rose. so as
to feed this numerous people as well
as bring them the life preserving
water.
Today a traveller and his beast are in
danger of perishing from thirst, so
scarce is water fit to drink; the pre-
vailing pools being terribly impregna-
ted with scalding alkali. All about
these ruins nature looks dead and life
less The valley as we'll as the cliff
dwellings is touched with the gray of
ages. The soil is an adobe EARTH as
fine as ashes. After one climbs pain
fully into cliff house and sits there in
those silent chambers, a loneliness in
descr1bable comes over him. He feels
that he is sitting in the presence of a
touching past, where a peace loving
people, faithful tillers of the soil, and
skilled in fine arts which will compare
faVorably with those of the past of
many an ancient nation, carved out
for themselves safe shelter in the
rock of a weary land. His admiration
rises within him as he looks upon evil
dence after evidence of a noble state
of civilization. He is confronted with
thousand inquiries, nine-tenths of
which he cannot answer. As he labor
iously passes through these dwellings,
hanging high on the face of the cliff,
and sees the rooms almost as large
those in our homes, he ponders over the
numerous water jugs found therein, and
fools or sages. However, another look
compels him to believe that these hard
conditions were not a matter OF choice,
but were rather forced upon them.
A days exploration takes one over
the finest specimens of ruins and when
he turns his face homeward. after re-
freShing nights sleep in the lonely cab
in, and retraces his path over a weary
80 miles of the hot adobe desert, he has
ample opportunity for meditation, and
is forced to a final conclusion that
American history did not make its de-
bus sailed into the harbor of San Sal
vador on the oath day of October, 1892.
The trip back to Denver can be taken
either via Montrose and the wonderful
Black canyon of the Gunnison and
Pass, or via the marvellous
Gorge and the Cumbres Pass. 500 miles
either way, every one of which COM
poses the finest mountain scenery to be
found in America. H. A. OTT.

Mr.. Quincy, the Republican nomi-
nee. is the president of the Planters
State bank and came TO Kansas from
Wisconsin in 1873 ana mas lived here
ever since. He started out in life on
a raw quarter section of Saline coun-
ty land and broke It up by himself
and owned it until a few years ago.
He has been actively engaged in bust
ness in Salina and Saline county all
his life, but has never Deen a candi-
date for office except Tor sheriff in
1889 when he was elected, refusing a
denomination at the expiration of his
first term. Later he was candidate
for mayor of Salina and defeated by
r. p. Cravens. He has been dele
gate not only to the convention that
nominated Bailey but also that which
nominated Hoch. He IS warm per-
sonal and political friend of Governor
BaiIey's and belongs to what is called
the old machine in state politics, but
is not a bitter partiZan.
Ottawa county had no candidate in
the convention conceding the senator
to Saline and Mr.. Quincy was placed
in nomination by an ottawa county
delegate. Mayor Thos. Anderson, of
Salina, who had been talked of as a
candidate was placed in nomination
but refused to be a candidate but
pledged his support to whoever the
convention would nominate.

THE KING

The KING PROVES A POINT.
One day as the king walked forth into
the country alone he met a wayfarer
and the two sat down under a thorn
apple tree to discuss general affairs. 1t
soon transpired that the wayfarer was
a victim of misfortune and when invi-
ted to give particulars he said:
It's all the fault of our king. I had
an acre of ground, a cottage and DON
key. but taxes were so high that 1 was
sold out. The extravaganza of the
king made high taxes, and the king
officers made matters worse by steal
ing a portion of the tax money"
rs this the way other people think?'
queried the king.
I'VE are all agreed, and why should
we not be? Any one can see where the
blame lies.
And you think you could remedy
things if given a chance?"
ITO a certainty"
Very well, I am the king. You
needn't be afraid, but go ahead and
talk as you will. I will appoint you
my chief minister; and now tell me
what you would do
''Wen,' said the unabashed peasant,
IT would cut your allowance down to
say 200, 900 SeQuinS a year."
Good. AS have been living on less
than half of that I shall make no
kick
Il would cut down your staff of SER
wants one-half."
Good again. AS none of them are
getting any pay they would all be glad
to CO."
II would oblige you to appoint honest
men to Office
30. K. for you. but please give me
the names of a few. I have been look
ing for honest men for the last 20 years.
Hast a list handy?"
well, I would decrease the taxes"
said the peasant as he wriggled around.
and by so doing you would have
less money for public works and inn
provementS to convenience the peo-
pie"
'sBut the tax collectors shouldn't steal
a portion of what they collect"
