The trouble with his applied Christianity was that he didn't apply it to himself. The present Jessie Morrison trial at Eldorado is proving quite different from the first one.

Tuesday night the two store breakers in the county jail managed to get out and make their escape.

The second night after being placed in jail they spoilt the cast jail cell lock so they both had to be placed fn one cell. The way they got out was a novel and new one. There is a large gas pipe just outside the cell which connects with the water tank above. This and a small casting and a block of wood they had evidently secured some time during the day when they were in the outside eel! and hid in their bunk. Placing the block of wood inside the tubing to strengthen it and using the casting to obtain a better leverage they inserted the tool between the bars and formed a powerful leverage enough to break them.

Removing several sections thus they made their escape. Everybody predicted that the fellows would try to escape but they did not believe it possible in the manner it was done. The cells are made of the best chrome steel. It is impossible to chisel them or break them with a sledge.

He had been to Kansas City with some seclect stock and stopped off on his wav back to tell the politicans that his own county is behind Dave Manna with a whoop for lieutenant governor. If this be the case we have failed to hear much whooping. The republicans of Graham county are tired of boosting a man for state office who will buck the party's best men for county offices.

Mrs. Diggs is verv much disgusted with the LaCrosse Republican: We swiped the following from an exchange, which tells of a friend who is very fond of fishing and who, while enjoying great sport fishing on the Illinois river, went to the telegraph office and sent the following telegram to his wife: "I've got one.

Weighs seven pounds and it is a beauty." In reply came the following signed by his wife: "So have I. Weighs ten pounds. He isn't a beauty. Looks like you."

which they issued Saturday. When asked what effect the manifesto would have on Kansas politics. Mrs. Diggs said: "It means that the Republicans will carry the state at the election next year. The anti-Republican element will never combine on a platform which is bound together by no stronger tie than a desire to win.

It takes principle to hold voters together. The Democratic leaders cannot declare that they would like to beat the Republicans next year and by that declaration bring the Populists into their camp. The old Populist workers feel that the fight is lost especially so far as the immediate future of the fusion parties is concerned. They know that the parties with which they have always affiliated cannot win next year because of this fight over fusion. They will not therefore enter into the fight with the old time degree of earnestness.

No matter if the Populist party never holds another state convention, it has accomplished the purpose for which it was organized. Pen years ago, we advocated public ownership of public utilities and an increase in the volume of money in circulation. Today, Republicans all over the country are bragging that they have increased the volume of money in circulation and a majority of the Republicans arc now as much in favor of public ownership of public utilities as any Populist of ten years ago. It is unnecessary for us to join the De mocratic parly next year. We have done the work which we set out to do and that is sufficient.

We need not spoil the good record and clean page we will leave behind us by entering into a deal with the Democratic party just for the sake of beating the Republicans. There is more lack of principle in that Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Harm Wilson in Topeka Capital: They're coming back to Kansas, they're a-crossing on the bride, you can see their moving wagons on the top of every ridge. On the highways and the turnpikes you can hear their wagons hum, for they're comin' back to Kansas and they're comin' on the run.

Who's a comin' back to Kansas? Why, the migratory crowd, who left the state some months ago, with curses long and loud; and swore by all eternal that they never would return to this Kansas land infernal, where the rivers run in riot, when they want to be dry when the sun so fiercely bums wh they want a cloudy sky. So they loaded up their children and whistled to their dogs, tied the cow on behind the wagon, to the butcher sold the hogs, hitched the ponies to the schooner, turned her bro.v toward the east, left this beastly land of Kansas for a land of fat and feast. Did they find it? Naw they didn't though they roamed the country o'er, from the lakes up in the northland to the far off T. J. Garnett, Magnetic Healer.
