Saturday afternoon about 20 couples from, Dr Price's Sunday School class left in a special car for a sugar bush out some 20 miles in the country. For once we had all the Maple taffy we could eat. When we got back that evening I was so tired that I fell asleep on the couch in my room. About 10 O'clock one of the girls came in with a lighted candle and wakened me. She kept making funny remarks about looking for an honest man.

Only half awake, I said not honest, get out. Finally she got me up and into another room, which was full of girls. Still I thought nothing of it, and going to the couch was just about asleep again when a hearty laugh from all brought me to my senses long enough to "tumble" to the fact that this was my birthday, aud I was attending my own surprise party. By this time was wide awake the girls made wishes for me and each bie.v out a lighted candle with solemn countenence. and of.course all the wishes will come true.

Waggener, candidate for state senator in the district composed of Atchison and Jackson counties has no opposition up to the present. Jackson county having had the senator for four years, it is now Atchison county's turn under an unwritten rule in that drs-trict. Citizens of Atchison county to the number of 4,380 having petitioned Mr. Waggoner to be their candidate, no other Atchison man cares to toss his hat into the ring.

Of the Waggener petitioners, 2,014 are republican voters 2,337 are democratic voters and 29 are not classified. There Sol colored voters on the list. The petition is 146 feet long, the signatures appearing in a single column. This is said "to be the largest petition ever presented to a Kansas man to run for office. Word comes from Jackson county that the Republicans there are inclined to let Atchison county have its turn even it no Republican there cares to make the race, preferring to await their turn four years hence, when under the rule, Atchison county will ve them a free rein in the nomination of a candidate.

In view of the Waggener petition, it is argued by the Jackson county Republicans' that if they should nominate a candidate, he could hardly be expected to win, and u. iuei. io. a.w IB, I. Mickel.
