MAKING HARD FIGHT.
WaKeeney Determined to Have Asy-
Ium in Western Location.

WaKeeney is making a hard fight for
the new state hospital. A delegation
trcm that live western town made a
third trip to Topeka this week to lay
the towns claims before the state
board of control This delegation left
Tor home today feeling that their town
had a better chance now for the YER
dict than it has had before. J. F. TO; es.
Gas. Steinberger. Dr. A. B. Jones, I.
E. Purcell and W. W. Gibson compos-
ed the delegation and the town was
ably represented.
In their arguments before the board
the delegation presented the claims
that W4keeney had made the lowest
price on land for the institution when
it offered 500 alfalfa land for $25 an
acre with the choice of three sections
good drainage, plenty Of water, fertile
soil. etc.
Then again they swept away the
freight rate proposition by offering to
prove that WaKeeney had as good
freight rates as any town in the COIN
petition. They claim the most central
location of that part of the state lying
west of the 9Sth meridian They were
representing western Kansas in this
competition and were fighting for that
secTion. They opposed the plan of To-
eating the hospital III the central part
of the state.
1t is expected that the board will end
the long suspense and select a site this
week.

PRICES ARE HIGHER.
Farmers More Than Compensated for
Shortage in Crops.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The decreas-
ed production in crops this year as
compared with last year is being COM
pensated to the farmer of the country
by the larger prices they are receiving,
as shown by figures given out by the
department of agriculture The ag-
gregate production of crops in 1911,
it is estimated, is approximately 10
per cent less than the crops of 1910
and about four-tenths of one per cent
less than the average production for
the preceding five years.
Corn was worth 12.1 cents more per
bushel on November 1 than on the
same date last year; wheat one cent;
oats SO cents; barley 29.6 cents; rye
11.5 cents buckwheat IL cents and
potatoes 2O.6 cents, while the value of
hay was $2.66 a ton greater. Flax
seed, the only grain in which an in
crease was not reported this year, is
10 cents cheaper this year than last.
1.-THE production of other crops in
1911" says the report, expressed in
percentage of the average production
in recent years (not compared with
full crop is estimated as follows: AL

LEGISLATURE is SAFE.
Republicans Elected Two-Thirds of the
Members in New Mexico.

Santa Fe, Nov. 1o.-Today's cleo
ton developments made it certain that
the Republicans will control the legis-
lature absolutely, the state senate by
a two-thirds majority.
The Democrats and progressive Re
publicans together have only one
third of state senate and only twenty
votes out of forty-eight in the house.
Several contests are already spoken of
which the legislature, being judge of
its own members. will decide and
which may also give the house to the
Republicans by two-thirds majority
But aside from that. the election of
two regulars from among the Repub-
leans to the United States senate is
assured.
The returns also show today that the
Democrat candidate for lieutenant
governor, E. G. Debaca, received a
slight majority, while the majority for
w. C. Mcdonald, Democrat candidate
for governor, according to latest adj
vices, is two thousand. The rest of
the state ticket is in doubt.

State Senator Brady, of Lawrence
one of tho candidates for congress
from the Second district who withdrew
/ when the Suyer committee spiked
the nomination, went ahead, under
pressure, and made Guyer speeches in
! the campaign But Senator Brady S
heart was troubled and his spirit vexed
| hiTa sore. He is editor of the Journal
w 0rld and he expresses himself on loss
Of his congressional district to the Dem
ocrats in the following plain language:
1.-The inevitable happened and the
Republican party has gone down in
humjliating and deserved defeat be
cause it betrayed the people. In its
most detestable days Tammany Hall
never did anything so degrading as the
Republican nomination was made in
the Second district.
LAS a matter of fact it was no party
nomination and to call it such would
have been ludicrous except for the po-
litieal tragedy it brought on. A year
ago the Republican nominee was elect
ed by $500.
Yesterday the same party was de-
feated by over LOCO.
why this revulsion of feeling?
simply and solely because the nom
ination was stolen. There was not a
fair minded Republican in the district
who believed that Culver world be elect
ed, and practically every vote he polled
was cast under solemn and earnest
protest Under the circumstances Mr..
Guyer made a remarkable race ard the
vote he received indicates that there
are still several thousand Republicans
in the district who are loyal to the
party no matter how much it sins.
1.-THE JOurnal-W World pointed out
time and time again just what would
happen. 1t implored the party leaders
to interfere and save the district to
the Repu blicans. They stood by and
saw the men get away with the nomi-
nation and then wondered why life
long Republicans bitterly resented the
theft.
THE campaign was a funeral march
from the nomination to the ballot box
I'm the history of politics there has
never been such infamy as this and
never has such righteous judgment
been visited upon erring men.
The Journal orld is proud of the
fact that from the very beginning it
raised its voice in protest against this
rape of the party and it feels vindicat-
ed in every word it has said.
$50 far as the progressive movement
is concerned it is only checked tenn
porarily. The righteousness of the
movement appeals to the sovereign
people and they will take care of it
while shifting the hand that has de-
based and degraded the Republican
party
1T is going to take mighty effort
to hold the state of Kansas in line

valvular heart trouble, which may
prove fatal before she can be brought

Her condition is dangerous, owing to
the quantity of arsenic she swallowed
