M. comes home with his head in a sling, or more properly speaking, bandaged by a doctor, he explains that one of the large poles of a circus tent struck him. Now we have no idea for one second of doubting the word of Bob Wright, as he is too well known in Kansas for that. We must say that the story of a head that had stood the racket of Dodge for 17 years and never been bandaged but once before, being knocked out the box by such a little thing the center pole of a circus tent, is of altogether too gosemer a texture to wash fact is that they tried to lay him out with such a tool, shows that they don't know him, if they had questioned any Kansan they would have been informed that it would take more than a tent pole to knock that man out of time.

A special dispatch from Oklahoma says that "Senator Plum of Kansas, who was hung in effigy along the line of the Santa Fe the opening day, last Monday, is now revered by the very men who thought the stand he took to have the. strip and Oklahoma opened at on nd the same time was a falss one. It will be remembered that he was one of the 'few that opposed the opening of any of the Indian tarritory until it could all be open ed at once." It would have been much better for all honest settlers had Senator Plumb's opposition to the bill in the senate prevailed. He pictured out just such a deplorable state of affairs as now exists but the rule or ruin gang who represented the town site schemers cared nothing for that. They were determined upon a grab game and put it through.

It might be gratifying to note in this connection that the Weaver-Springer-Crouch-Long haired Bill and short lived Jake combination never got a "smell" nor even a town lot. Hutchinson News. Under our present prospect for crops, this year, every kind of business has taken a new start, our merchants are busier, a heavier trade ie being done in all kinds of merchandise, bills are being met more promptly. Money seems to be in chcula-tion more than for two years, that has been hid away in old stocking, fearing investment, is now coming out and being invested and we feel assured that one of the best years Kansas has ever enjoyed since she was a state is now upon us and we would say to home seekers, if you want homes in Kansas, now is tha time to get them. Many who have suffered from the short crops of the last two year will sell their surplus land at reasonable prices to put them in shape to pay all demands and have a little capitol on hand, but if you wait until fall, this case will no longer exist and land will go up 30 per ct.

Come at once, do not wait until fall, come now. TVe don't invite you to a boom land, but to a home where all the best opportunity for schools and churches can be enjoyed, where society is organized, and the laws are obeyed and everything that goes toward making a happy home, is accomplished.
