In the story of the law over there he says: "Why this worry about Atchison? There was not a drunk in Atchison on election day: Topeka reported twenty. It is generally conceded that the recent election has worried the prohibiiionists, and tbe3r propose to try to gain lost ground by raising hell." What Mr. Howe meant to say no doubt was, that no drunks were arrested in Atchison election day. The difference between Topeka and Atchison is, when men get drunk in Topeka hey are run in. But in Atchison where men stay drunk all the time they are not srrested at all.

founding we learned of Washington. Jef ferson, Patrick Henry, the Adamses, Mohler was at the head of the state agricultural department he neyer was known to be guilty of "monkeying" with the statistics. None of the time honored legends were disturbed. When Barney went about over the state carrying the balance of power in the shape of an old soldier vote in his vest pocket, he had no fears of an indiscreet secretary of agriculture springing a lot of statistics to prove that what Barney had IN HIS VEST POCKET would not balance anything; that the old soldier vote of Kansas was not in it, numerically speaking. But all is now changed.

Coburn don't seem to have any regard for the feelings, hopes or aspirations of Mr. Kelley. He comes along right at inopportune time, when Barney almost had the state administration corralled, and every thing else coming his way; and states that out of a voting population of upwards of 300,000, Mr Kelley could claim as his stock in trade only a trifling 35,000. Nobody can blame Barney for being hot under the collar, under these circumstances. He has a right to declare the truce off, raise the black flag declare war to the knife and give no quarter.

In Uncle Barney's case it don't matter much, which side he is on, just so he fights. He can raise more merry sheol to the square inch than any other man in Kansas when the sign is right. And should he organize a new party and take Republican Vets into it, away from the redeemers, they would be in a bad box. Appeals To The Commander-in-Chief Must Be Taken Within Six Months.

Speak- happy people safely by the rocks of Mr. Grittenton's Missions. A large audience listened to Millionaire Evangelist Crittenton's talk on mission work at the church last evening. At the special meeting which was held at the Third Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon by the W. T.

U. and tbe the Social Purity league, there were about forty ladies in attendance. Short talks were made by some of the ladies present, and Mrs. Van Cleve, president of the Puiity league, said that the work and aim of the league was similar to the aim of Mr. Crittenton's missions.

A committee was appointed and another meeting will be held, reiative to the mission work. The following are the members of the committee: Mrs. B. M. an Cleave, Mrs.

B. Dawes "busted" his throat in the late campaign and in all probability will be unable to do any howling in the contest next year. There is not a populist in the state, who has the good of bis party and the welfare of his country at heart, who will not deeply regret this condition of afairs. There is no man in the republican party whom the populists could not better spare than the leather lunged blowhard. It was owing largely to the efforts of Dawes that the peoples party was enabled to carry Clay county by an unprecedented majority at the recent election.

And what ever else may be said of the populists of Kansas, they are not ungrateful. It is a well known tact that the peoples party in this state, was willing to pay Dawee big money to goou the stump next year at the opening of the campaign and ump till the polls close in November.

Walker of the National G. A. R. has just issued general order No. 3 in which he calls special attention of the members of the organization to the liberal amendment to the rules of the organization adopted at the last national encampment pertaining to the reinstatement of members dropped for non-payment of dues.

It is no longer obligatory for a dropped comrads rejoining his former post to make application on the form prescribed for a new member and refer the same to a committee. A written request only is necessary which can be passed upon at any regular meeting of the post by a vive voce vote. The amount of the back dues, not exceeding dues for one year, must be paid. Other important amendments were also adopted. One of the most important is the recommendation that in cities or towns where it is difficult to maintain sepente organizations the members get together and consolidate.

An amendment govern ing procedure after court martial trials was also adopted. It is as follows: "Any comrade sentenced by a post court martial to dishonorable discbarge or degradation from office, shall have the right of appeal to the commander-in-chief, whose decision shall be final, unless reversed by tbe national encampment: Provided, however, That such an appeal must be taken within six months of the time of service of written notice upon the accused of the decision of the department commander reviewing the case."

at Wichita, pro AT THE BEGINNING OF WINTER Some Slight Mistakes. In the report of the incorporation of the Co-opekator a few unimportant errors crept in. Compositors and proof readers are as liable to make mistakes as any one else. The name of Fred P. Close appeared twice in the list of incoporators.

It should have read Fred Close who is president and manager of the company; and Fred P. Close the all round athlete and fighting editor connected with this establishment. Also in place of "no" it should have been stated there is an exclusive field for a daily populist newspaper in Kansas. An omission for which neither proof reader nor compositor was to blame, was the leaving out of the important fact that the capital stock of the company is Jefferson and the Indian Territory; and who often nounced an eulogium upon Davis in his memorial address over the stood small armies of detec'Jves at sufficient bay to make good his escape.

Some kind and generous "Pops" to the number of fourteen realizing the situation, and appreciating the OOOD WOKK DAWES HAD DONE in times past for the peoples party, went to hear him howl and were well pleased. But out of the 19 republicans who were present, all went away from the meeting abusing Dawes in the most cruel, cold blooded and uncalled for manner.

They declared that Dawes' wild ravings were enough to drive any man from his party; that he made statements he could not prove that he made threats of doing things that he had no notion of doing; that he was the laughing stock of the state not only in bis own party but out of it, and that he should be choked off.

No more will his Jackassical bray be beard ou the broad prairies of Kansas. No more will he threaten the hated "Pops" with dire punishment. All that can be expected from Blowhard Dawes next year will be an opinion after election telling how it happened. But it must not be assumed that the condition of Dawes' throat will bring utter ruin upon the populists next year. Of course, if Dawes is not to speak they can not bet on an absolutely sure thing.

Without his assistance it many be necessary to make an energetic campaign which will take some time and money; and for this reason it would have been much better if Dawes could have been spared. As it is the people's party will have to worry along some way without him. UNCLE BARNEY IS HOT. "Pops" can rely with great certainty on Barney Kelley's assistance, such as it is. And when "Your Uncle Barney" gets waked up he is something of a howler himself.

Evidences continue to multiply that the grand old "Vet" is getting ready to do some howling. He feels the club he has been holding over the heads of the le-publican bosses slowing slipping from his grasp, and if he loses it entirely he will never be able to get another office in Kansas.
