That the crash of the great Non
partisan League Bank at Fargo,
should result in a run on the banks
of Kansas was not even anticipated.
But such is a fact. The Kansas farm
ers. who were inveigled by Townley's
red agitators and soap-boxers into
giving post-dated checks for MEM
berships in the so-called Non-partisan
League, are now rushing to their
banks stopping payment on said
checks. It is. their only chance to
save anything out of the wreck.

The Townley soap-boxers who are
now working fast" in Kansas, and
who have received fattering recep-
lions in certain foreign-1anguage COM
munities, were recently driven out of
Nebraska for carrying a red flag in
their parades. Although these gents
are so loyal and patriotic that they
admit it in every speech, and in add
ton thereto, they carry letters from
Geo. Creel to back it up, better look
up their war records in Minnesota

There is petition in circulation
for the paving of South Chestnut

age for eggs at noon was 70 cents a

cents a dozen. A further drop Is expect
ed in the price Of eggs. Yesterday they

There is a feeling that the statute

to be turned over 10 his family u

We have a certain piece OF legisla-
ton now In force whei eby a man Is
put In jail In case he does not prop
erly provide for his family and depen-
dants, but that does not remedy the sill
uatlon-the family and dependents are
still In want and have noameans OF llv-
ing properly. All that they receive un-
der the present arrangements Is so

compulsory work feature Of the law
would not permit the same man TO lie
in jail over the winter while his family
were suffering from want OF food. but
he would be put 10 work under a guard
and the greater portion Of his wages
turned over TO his dependents.
