Your reporter saw quite a funny little incident while returning from Labette. Carter Livesay was plowing near the road, chanting that beautiful and appropriate hyiun, "1 Need Thee Every Hour," with the lines around his waist, when his doubletrees broke and his team bounded quickly forward and Carter took a ride in the air, then made a life-sized profile of himself in the mellow earth.

Our learned Poobali evolved another idea Monday. Now mind you, we speak advisedly when we say "our learned," as there isn't another one in the United States, and Altamout is proud of Us freaks.

Next week I will tell you what the idea was. Rev. York lias put a nice fence around the parsonage lot, set out quite a number of fruit and shade trees, rose bushes, and made the paisonage look home like. If this had been done six or eight years ago, how much better it would have been. Now, if the Methodist folks would dig a cistern, build a kitchen and an addition to their church, things would look up a little.

The oratorical contest came off Saturday night with a great big crowd ill attendance. There were ten aspirants. Three each from the Primary and Intermediate, two from the principal's room and two from the High School. '1 he judges selected were Miss Priestiy, of Lawrence, Mr. Wheeler, of Stover, and Geo.

THE IMIEPKNDF.NT and tbe e. kly Glebe-Democrat at 2 o. per year. Here is an optiormnity to secure valuable reauiug nia'ler at a nominal price. The Atchison Globe says the people of Kansas never harvested a wheat crop that had not been killed by reports three or four times.

Although the Cherokees have ratified the sale of the Strip, it is said that that country will not likely be opened for settlement before July 1st. The indications are that the people of Ohio will want Governor Mckinley to serve them in the gubernatorial chair, and undoubtedly the gallant governor will again respond to the call The wheat crop in western and northwestern Kansas is said to have been very materially injured by the prolonged dry weather in that section, and hundreds of acres will produce scarcely anything. The increased Republican majorities received in numerous Kansas cities last Tuesday is a vindication and en dorsement of the course pursued by the Douglass house last winter ami rebuke to anarchy and revolution. Keep up the fight. Mrs.

Lease says that "fusion isdead' and that the People's party will not be traded in the future like it has been in the past. That is probably all right from Mrs. Lease's standpoint, but the difficultv lies in the fact that the bosses will go on fixing things in the same razzle dazzle fashion, and it remains to be seen whether the honest fol lowers of the movement will stand to the racket. There are now 7D5 newspapers and periodicals published in Kansas. Of these, 33 are dailies, C7S weeklies, 1 semi-weekly, 66 monthlies, 3 semi monthlies.

5 bv-monthlies and 2 are occasional. Of the political news pers, 329 are Republican, 130 of the Reoples' party and 81 Democratic. Twenty thousand dollars of the peo ple's money was appropriated to reorganize and sustain Lcwclling's militia, just double the cost of that organization heretofore, and Briedeiithal, appointed state bank examiner was allowed ten thousand as against live thousand heretofore appropriated for the Republican examiner. It is a refreshing exhibition of nerve to hear a Populist editor, whose party would have about as much force in Kansas politics as a snowlhike in a chinook whenever it parts company with the Democratic vote, talk about the Republican and Democratic parlies combining, just because the more liberal minded element of the Democrats endorse and uphold the supreme court's decision. The Pops havr a monopoly on the fnion business, and are not likely to have Republican competition in that kind of jugglery for a good while to come.

Postmaster General Bissell does not intend to make his rule against editors unnecessarily severe. He snys he will not object if a postmaster wants to sit up until 11 o'clock at night writing editorials. He goes e-sen farther and says a postmaster may grind out "copy" for a weekly paper at any time after office hours. Although Mr. Missel 1 makes no ruling on this point, it is presumed that a person who happens to own the local paper will be permitted, as heretofore, to prepare for publication the regular weekly list of "advertised letters during office hours.

The Labette county triumvirate that held forth at the court house Saturday evening, attempted to make their auditors believe that while they may have been wrong in the position they took regarding the organization of the Legislature, but still their consciences were clear, as they believed they were right at the time. It is a very nice thing to have a clear conscience, of course, but it is hard for the average mind to understand how their consciences can remain such a beautiful crystal after engaging in the disreputable business of trying to make 58 appear more than 67. But then if the members of the People's party will swallow such stuff, it is probably as good as anything else to oiler them. New York Tribune: Neither the Federalists, nor the Jefferson Democracy, during their prolonged periods of power, left any record that can be compared with the Republican policies of the last thirty-two years. The country owes at once its prosperity and its continued national existence to the patriotism, courage and progressive tendencies of the Republican party.

With a record for a generation more glorious than that made by any other political party in this or any other country, no American witnessing the transfer of power and responsibility needs to stammer when he proudly exclaims, "I am a Republican!" On March 4, 1SC1, when Buchanan's imbecile administration came to an end, no American, who loved and respected his country, could have said without flinching, "I am a Democrat." Department Commander Bernard Kelly has returned from a trip to Indianapolis, where he went to secure headquarters for the Kansas department at the coming national encampment of the Grand Army and also to secure if possible a promise from ex-President Harrison to attend a couple of Grand Army gatherings in Kansas this summer. He. succeeded in securing headquarters for the Kansas department at the New Denizen Hotel, where National Weissart has his headquarters and here most of the prominent departments are alo to be located. As to his mission with the ex-president, while he was received wi'h the greatest courtesy by Gen. Harrison he could not induce hull to make the desired engagements.

Kx-pivsidcnt Harrison has decided to make no public engagements before next fall, it be ing his intention to rest during the autnraer. The poor, old, broken-down political dead beat Jim Legate, for years a household word in Kansas for his lack ot the lirst impulses of honor, and decency, a foul-mouthed hotel loafer and boodle lobbyist, conspicuous in all the jobs and skullduggeiy in a long succession of ice cs, ami notor ious political blackmailer has come to the end of his rope, in his testimony yesterday this decrepit old man gave a recital of his use of 1'ete Kline's boodle in pay ing Republicans for a lot of preposterous purposes, but he could not remember the name of a single one of the Republicans so paid, nor could he describe their personal appearance so that others might recall the names of his failing faculties. His brazen story would bo amusing if it did not expose the recklessness of his miserable character and his total ignorance of the sancticity of an oath. Jim Legate has tuo lone been treated bv the press and people of Kansas as a harlequin and stage actor in public af fairs. In any other state in the union his shameless career would have Ion been stopped by public sentiment or the law.

Men have only laughed at his blackmailing schemes and unprinc ipled and nlthj: talk hen he should have been outlawed and shunned by every decent person in Kansas, liiey have been to lenient with this arch hooillor and chief of blacklegs in Kan sas. Let him slink off to his home and be avoided as the agent and the apolo Erist of the gambling dives and rum hells, the associate and friend of law detiers and the confessed distributor of their boodle funds.
