A GENERAL RAIN THROUGH OUT WESTERN KANSAS The windy weather and flying dust of the past ew days, have caused people of Southwestern Kan sas to have the blues. In fact some thought it never had rained in Kansas and never would. But they found them selves mistaken. On Saturday morning the rain commenced to fall and fell for several hours. On Tuesday morning it ommenced to rain about eight oclock and kept it up all day and part of the night.

But 'Vhat'e in a r. nmeV" From in; dications it has been esbiished in Leoti with the expectation of jjetting the final proof notices to publish. Now we have no objections to the managers of that paper doing the best they can for themselvee and the people, yet we do think they manifest a great deal of unblushing effrontery to come here after the county seal. S-ht has been fought and victory has been wou.

and ask for all the spoils. The Democrat has been here nine months and breasted the storm, through it all, yet it does not ask for any more of the government land notices than its share with the other papers of the town, we do not think the U. S. Register could be hood-winked so as to give til of the land office business to a paper that was established here by a man that came here ostensibly for tbtt purpose; who is not a citizen of the county, and who has written article in other county papers derogatory to our town. To do so, would be unfair, unreasonable dishonorable.

If Mr. Beard would tLc like he is not the man wc think I Now Mr. editors and proprietors of the Transcript do not be piggish, but ask for only a share of the printing, and if you get that wc will not qnarrel with you, yet under the circumstances we do not think you merit or are entitled to any.
