Crop Conditions In Kansas.

Ed’tor Democrat:—George Iliff and I took the 6 o’clock Santa Fe train from Chicago Sept. '5, for Little River, Kan., and when it became light enough to see we noticed the corn crop, from there to our destination it was poor, and will yield from nothing to 15 bushels to the acre. The most of it was green, but when we came back a week later it was almost all dry from chinch bugs and drought, especially in Kansas, about onehalf of it being cut up, all of it more or less chaffy. In Kansas alfalfa was being cut the second time, when good it is four feet high, but the cutting this time was less than a foot and a half, and on the higher land it was >lmost all killed. On the low or drain land this is one of their paying crops. Wheat went about five bushels to the acre and was shriveled and light. Oats were almost an entire failure, some being mowed for feed, then thrashed. There was quite a lot of cane, but it was sown for feed; and kaffir corn, which has a life like the proverbial cat, in a drought year is tolerably good. The wild hay crop is almost a failure, some of it not more than six inches tall. Almost all the ground was broken for wheat; some sowing. There are no apples, nor any peaches. The apple orchards don’t appear to be in a healthy condition, many of them being about one-third dead or dying. One orchard pulled up. The? big pastures were almost empty. There had been a rain part of the way out and the grass was about an inch high, but within 100 miles of Little River it was quite parched. As one fellow put the situation: “It is the leanest prospect we have had in Kansas for twefity-seven years.” —--- < The majority, of the Sunflower state are for Senator Stubbs and Bristow. They are against Taft and LaFollette. Stubbs is trying for the Senate. The interests are against him, but with the primary it kr>ks like he would win. Foster Dunnning’s wife is in poor health, but Foster looks and acts very much like he used to. Martin Timmons’ wife is also in poor health, yet Timmons is fleshy and a jolly good fellow. He is a bank cashier.. We met William Irwin and Barkley. He goes on crutches and is a live one. W. H. RITCHEY.

Masked Robbers Get Away.

Huntington, Ind., Sept. 22. —Aroused by masked robbers Mrs. Fred Bumgardner grabbed her pocketbok and rushing to the door to escape fell into the arms of a man whcvtook it from her and departed without a word. Silverware and JlO5 in money were taken.

Sidelights on Mythology.

Tantalus, up to his chin in the pool of water, leaned forward once more to take a drink, and the water vanished tn its customary manner. “Oh, well,” he said, “I’ve no individual cup, anyway.” Thankful that the cooling liquid which he was not permitted to taste was not presented to his longing gaze in the still more tempting guise of a bubbling cup, he waited till the water rose again to his chin and absorbed 'what he cOuld of itthrough his pores, as usual.—Chicago Tribune. i . Mutual Distrust. “That new statesman is (giving you quite an argument.” “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum. “It’s the same old story. He thinks we need reformation, and we think he needs information.”—Washington Star. {

HUMOROUS QUIPS

The Simple Maiden. There was once a simple maiden, and her simple name was Dottie. She had a simple twinkle in her eyes. There was a simple dimple in her simple chin that naughty Little maids who had no dimples saw with sighs. The things she said were simple And the things she did were simple, A very simple girlie girl was she, But the simplest maid that eVer Simply sighed may still be clever In her beautiful sim-pli-ci-teb, There came a gallant hero with a manner that was splendid. The other girls regarded him with awe. They sought him, but none caught him, and their hoping soon was ended. For Cottie was the only girl he saw. He flirted with coy Dottie, And he boasted that sweet Dottie Was ready to accept him any day, But the simplest maid that ever Simply sighed may still be clever In a simple, un-ex-pect-ed way. The hero soon grew weary of the maiden and her sighing, On other ladies he bestowed his smiles. But naughty little Dottie did no vain or foolish crying. She had letters from him stacked in handy piles. To Dottie he had written Things he never should have written. And she made him pay her well to set him free. Oh, the simplest maid that ever Simply sighed may still be clever In her beautiful sim-pli-cl-tee. —Chicago Record-Herald.

The Passing of an Old Friend. The burglars were at work on the burglar proof safe. “What’s holdin’ you back, Jem?” growled the »second one anxiously. “Why, dey’ve put some kind o’ drill proof stuff over de door,” replied the first one, “an I can’t get me tools troo it.” , The light of dawn was outlined by the window. A rumble of carts came from the cobbled roadway. “We gotter git," growled No. 2. As the baffled miscreants hastily gathered together their jimmies and drills and started for the door a flood of light came through the window. Then as they looked back at the safe each burglar smothered a sulphurous oath. The mysterious thing that had defied the steel drills was the outlawed roller towel, vintage of 1905, which somebody had taken down and carelessly thrown across the safe. —Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Inexpensive Life. They tell of an official at Washington, known by his friends to be a rather “close” man, who has many a passage at arms with his wife, all by reason of that very closeness. On one occasion a friend had the misfortune to enter just as the pair | were ending an- argument touching some Question of household expenditure. He was just in time to hear the husband sayr “See here. Marie, you cannot hoodwink me in these matters. Do you think that I have lived all these years for nothing?” “I shouldn’t be at all surprised,” was the wifely repartee.—Harper’s Magazine. Elusive. “He is what you might call an adroit man?” “Decidedly. His sins never find him out, and his debts never find him in.”-* Puck. Monsters. A dinosaurus wandered out From prehistoric days. A monster weird, he strolled about Our public to amaze. He saw the locomotive swing Around the polished curve. And as he dodged he cried, "That thing Doth surely take my nerve!” He gazed upon the motorcar And.heard.it grind and wheeze. He saw the airship float afar. So huge, yet all at ease. "Alas," he cried, "what fearful change Throughout this world I see! It is o’errun with monsters strange! The good old times for me!”

GENERAL NEWS

A feature of the religious campaign in New York, which is scheduled for the middle of November, will be a great street parade in which men and •-oys will take part. The exact date for this was not decided, but left to the discretion of a special committee.

The leaders of the movement and the men locally interested agree that the campaign to bring the church to thh workingman will be more difficult in New York than in any ether city atd every speaker laid stress on the necessity for concerted, :lc vigorous action on the part of New York churches to make the movement effectual in New York.

At Springfield, 111., an announcement was made by Preesident Sherman of the state board of administration of the appointment of Dr. Sidney D. Wilgus as superintendent of the Eastern Hospital for the Insane at Kankakee. Dr. Wilgus has been at the Elgin asylum the last two years. He succeeds as head of the Kankakee institution Dr. Frank P.

Dairymen of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland, members of the Producers’ Association of Dairymen, started a campaign at their annual meeting against the present federal tuberculin tests for cows. The killing of cows affected with the first stages of tuberculosis was denounced and a, resolution will be drafted and presented to congress asking for the repeal of the law permitting this practice. It is contended that milk is not afaffected by the presence of the disease in its incipiencyL At New York Monday hopes of a speedy settlement of the women’s tailors’ strike were abandoned following a fruitless conference of union representatives and employers. The employers declared that the unions had broken promises to arbitrate, and the workers demanded concessions which the employers said they could not grant. Proprietors jf leading shops say that the strike has already resulted in many orders for gowns being sent to Paris, London and Vienna. Operations on public buildings under construction throughout the country may be stopped indefinitely as a result of an order issued at the treasury department dropping from the rolls of the supervising architect’s office eighty employes, mostly draftsmen. This step was taken as the result of failure of congress at the last session to make sufficient appropriation to cover the expenses of the supervising architect’s office for the fiscal year. I At Coatesville, Pa., the most important development in the negro lynching case came when warrants charging two members of the mob with murder and two policemen with involuntary manslaughter were issued by Judge Butler upon the recommendation of the special grand jury. The jurors were discharged. They had been in session three weeks, and it had been charged that they were reluctant to take action in the lynchingcase.

During a fierce thunderstorm at Ann Arbar, Mich., the barn of the Ann Arbor Matinee Driving club on the fair grounds was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, together with a large amount of racing paraphernalia.

At St Paul, Minn., Friday, Chief of Police O’Connor announced that County Attorney O’Brien and Detective LaValle had' secured the arrest in Chicago of H. T. Robinson, who, the police say, was one of the men who held up the Shubert theater watchafaan last January and stole $3,392. Two other men whose names the police will not give are known to be under arrest for the same crime. Attorney General Wickersham is embarrassed by the Wiley decision, since he urged that the doctor be allowed to resign as the “condign punishment” which his conduct me-ited. However, the president le't his chief law officer something to retreat to when he said that the attorney general had given an opinion in the case without having all the testimony before him. Premier Canalejas announced that the government had details of a revCK lutionary plot uncovered at Valencia: and Barcelona. Part of this plot was to assassinate General Weyler, captain general of Catalonia. The government insisted it knew the names of the conspirators and the sources of their supplies.
