Late Spring DiscOurages Doug

No Work in Fields for at Least
Two Weeks.

Lawrence Kan, March 29.-With
their work a full month in arrears and
an indication of April rains having set
in before the snow is fairly off the
ground, Douglas county farmers are
becoming greatly discouraged over crop
prospects. The situation in Douglas
county is fairly applicable in all east
ern Kansas counties. Farmers in towlt
today regard the weather condition
with a great deal of concern. Tue
ground is so saturated that more thar
{. two weeks sunshine will be requir-
ed to harden the crust sufficiently t.
permit the lightest kind of work in the
fields. In bottom lands in the imme-
date vicinity of the kaw and small
streams it is problematical when the
farmers will be able to pillow or disk
even with no more storms. If the April
showers begin early, as present reports
indicate, farm cultivation will be to-
tally demoralized in this vicinity
Farmers in our neighborhood are
becoming desperate" said G. Bruno,
county commissioner and one of the
most substantial farmers in the coun-
ty I'VE ought to have had our po
tatoes in the ground two weeks ago
and oats sowed. Instead the field are
so soggy that we can't tell when we
will be able to begin cultivation. Feed

bothering many of us badly. We are
getting mighty discouraged out our
way"
No Grass for Stock.
Other farmers in town today eX-
press similar views and regard the
possibility of getting good crops as
very remote. Ordinarily on the first OF
Al ril potatoes have been planted and
gardens have been made; oats sown
and the ground prepared for diskinG
and listing. Even the repairing OF
fences has been rendered impossible
because of frequent storms, and no
stock can be turned out to grass when
the green shoots finally appear, until
several days have been spent in fence
repairing.
In Dougles county there is little
spring blowing done. Most farmers
get better results by disking the ground

that greater numbers viii resume each

The total cost of the strike TO the

rites which will not bring in their full

Besides the total spent by the miners
union the organizations connected with
other traces have distributed nearly
$500 900 in out of work benefits to their
members. 1t will be months before the
industries and trades OF the United

immense losses to make up.

1t is possible that the market plan

the spring Of 1913 H. P. Miller, city
commissioner in charge, stated today
that he had been unable to find a suit
able location. He said, also, that the
city did not have very much available
money on hand for a market place an,
he did not wish to begin the work I'M
til it could be launched right.
We must start this market place

should lease a piece of ground neal

There is only lukewarm feeling for
the market among the other city COM
missioners. Commissioner Tandy says
he can see no success ahead for mar

pose a curb plan if it costs the city
nothing. Commissioner Bone laughs
at the idea of lower prices. He believes

them on a standard price. Mayor BIZ

not want to spend very much money

Commissioner Stotts fails to see the
advantages to be gained by a market

Commissioner Miller is planning or

delegates the club members will not

mated that it will cost about $500 to

Norton, Kan, March 2s.-Tuesday
night, March 26, a club was organized
| in Norton to advice the interests of
Senator Huffman of Cherokee county
for governor. 1t was a dark rainy
night and the attendance was not
nearly what it would have been had it
been pleasant evening. The club
was organized with a membership of
twenty, l.. H. Thompson was elected
president and j. E. Gleason secretary.
Since the meeting the membership
has increased to over one hundred.
Both Roosevelt and Taft adherents are
joining the club and the club will be
devoted exclusively in advancing the
interests of Senator Huffman.
The club members have issued the
following statement as reasons for
supporting Senator Huffman for gov
ernor:
Senator Huffman is a man of fine
executive ability, splendid attachments
and ripe experience. His record as
senator is that of accom- plishments and
wise legislation and judicious laws are
fruits of his splendid work. His moral
character is above reproach. He is a
true progressive and stands for better
conditions along all lines, politically,
morally, commercially and socially. He
is modest and retiring in disposition
and believes more in action than pro-
fessiOn. He belongs to no faction of
the Republican party and should he
be nominated and elected governor he
will devote his time and talents in ad-
Vancing the welfare of our state and
developing its splendid resources and
will not work night and day to build
up a powerful and perpetual political
machine of which he may become the
autOcratic ruler"

DIED

Thomas Gleason, an old resident of
Manitowoc county, who had lived in
this city the past 10 years, died at 2
O'Clock last Thursday afternoon at his
home, 500 State street. His death was
due to apoplexy with which he was
stricken May 18th.
Mr.. Gleason was born in Ireland,
Dec. II, 1847 and was therefore 60
years of age. When he was four years
old his parents emigrated from Ire
land and settled in Ontario. In 1860
the family came to Wisconsin and To-
cased in the town of Rockland where
for many years the deceased was en-
gagged in farming.
Mr.. Gleason was we'll known in the
city and county. He was genial
whole-souled gentleman who made
friends with everyone whom he met.
He was an old-line Democrat and held
the office of chairman of Rockland for
several years. He was elected to the
assembly in 1880. Later on he secured
a government position at Washington,
d. G. After serving some years at
Washington he returned to Manito-
woo. For the vast four or five years
he was employed at the 9. & N. w.
Ry. station as patrolman and caretak-
err which position he held at the time
he suffered the fatal stroke. Besides
his wife Mr.. Gleason is survived by
five children, Mrs. George Mcdonald
of Cumberland, Md, Mrs. Math DOLL
