Will the Marion GLOBE please say that its statement this week about the people of Florence wanting to lynch McNish, was without any foundation whatever. Florence people do not indulge in such cheap exhibitions of -Florence Bulletin. Have it your own way. MARION, MARION No Flies on Florence.

COUNTY, The property owners in Florence have grown weary of paying all the taxes while the bootleggers have plied their traffic. The city council at its last meeting took decisive action; the case is desperate, and requires desperate measures. An ordinance was adopted which must necessarily make the town as dry as a fish bone. Of course we can not for a minute assume that the law will be violated; the prohibitory law in Kansas is not violated. As a curiosity we give herewith two sections of the Florence ordinance: SECTION 1.

It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to sell or barter any spiritous, malt, vinous, fermented or other intoxicating liquors within the city of Florence. SECTION 3. Any person, who shall be convicted of a violation of any of the provisions of this ordinance shall be fined in a sum not exceeding dollars and costs of prosecution, and shall stand committed to the city jail until such fine and costs are paid. Card of Thanks. I wish to return my sincerest thanks, through the columns of the GLOBE, and express my deep sense of obligation to the many citizens of Marion for their generous and prompt aid in helping me save my stock of clothing during the fire which threatened the destruction of the Times office.

I wish to assure them that I fully appreciate their hearty efforts and hope for an opportunity to reciprocate their kindness. JACOBS, Prop. Bankrupt Store. Laundry Lists. The ladies are making a great run on the GLOBE job rooms for those handsome laundry lists printed on satin, suitable for pin cushions, etc.

We are also enjoying a great run on ribbon calenders, having in the past months used up hundreds of yards of ribbons in printing these calenders. The laundry list, however, is the neatest thing out.

-Hon. Tom Potter, of Peabody, The United Workmen is the promptest order in this country in paying off its life policies. The widow of the late John Silland received her $2.000 in about ten days after her husband's death. The show at the opera honse last Wednesday night was a howling fizzle. The rocky outfit misrepresented themselves to Manager Williams and thus secured a date.

They will never get in the Marion opera house again. Boom the electric light question. The poles and wires are all ready for operation. All that we need is a dynamo. Marion must not be behind every little jim crow town in the state.

Electric light is getting to be as common as the tallow candle. The many friends of John Palmer got up a surprise party on him Monday night, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. The guests assembled at an early hour and that home presented a joyous picture with its array of happy faces excitement, bent on enjoying themselves to the utmost, and to say they succeeded is putting it mild. They just had a roaring time--including games of various sorts, such as checkers, dominoes, percheso, and a host of other games were indulged in. Refreshments were served.

The Times printing office had a very narrow escape from destruction by fire Friday night. A large brass lamp suspended from the ceiling, fell from its hanging, overturned and splattered oil over the floor and several cases. The oil ignit 'and in a moment the room was a complete flame. A hose was attached the First street hydrant and in about ten minutes the blaze was extinguished, but not until about two hundred dollars worth of material was destroyed. Much of the type not melted by fire was so badly pied by the water that it will all have to be re-set.

A. F. Highsmith, mentioned in the last issue of the GLOBE as being very ill, died Saturday morning and was buried unday afternoon. The funeral services were conducted at the Presbyterian church by Rev. Bright.

The editor of the GLOBE, with his wife and baby, will leave next week for Memphis, Tenn. and Birmingham, to spend a couple of weeks. While gone they will visit New Orleans and Galvestion and return by boat from New Orleans to Memphis. Dave Jacob's stock of clothing was so badly damaged Friday night dur-2 ing the fire in the Times office, that the store has not been opened to customers since. Dave has been waiting for the insurance company adjuster to come on and settle the damages, which is estimated at about one thousand dollars.

The loan agents report that many renewals are being asked for this month, but that in all cases the loan companies are demanding prompt payment, through fear of a prevailing sentiment that the legislature this winter will adopt such radical legislation that loan companies will have poor show of doing businses in the state in the future. The fire laddies did nobly at the fire Friday evening, although they had not drilled for several months. In the absence of Foreman Freeland, Assistant Foreman Will Bond did very well in managing the boys, especially in getting the hose through the intricate passage ways of the building. The boys did well and the citizens give them due credit for their prompt action. The GLOBE takes pleasure in speaking a good word for Uncle Sharp, who has a pop corn stand corner Main and Third.

Mr. Sharp is getting old and, being a cripple, is deprived of performing manual labor. Although he is not making a mint of money, he is earning an honest livlihood, and the GLOBE has confidence in the generosity of our cieizens and believes that they will "keep him a popping." Unquestionably Marion has the finest and most artistic dry goods window decorators of any town in the state. The display windows of Loveless Sacket, Steiner Wheeler Bros. and Thompson Farr are novels of taste and elegance, the town justly merits its wellearned distinction of being the leading dry goods center of this section.

The Marion merchants have no sympathy for fogyism. IT FOR good heating stove for sale--dirt cheap. Inquire at this office. The GLOBE is in receipt of a copy of the Topeka Illustrated Weekly It is a handsome 16-page paper and ridiculously comic. On the first page is an artistically executed portrait of Senator Ingalls, and the other fifteen pages are filled with many witty, bright paragraphs and funny illustrations.

The illustrated Weekly is a new order of journalism in Kansas conceived by Mr. E. L. Shelton, and its success ought to be assured from the start. If the Weekly will devote its pages principally to Kansas men and measures, and state affairs in general, its spurs are won.

It is An interesting study and pretty effectthat refutes the calamity cry the farmer is getting poorer every year and deeper in dept. Let us confine ourselves to Marion county.

There were 53,000 acres of wheat cultivated in the county in'90. From thi there were 1.000.000 bushels threshed. To get at the per cent the farmer made on his wheat we must first determine the real cost of preparing the grain for the market. $1.25 per acre is a reasonable price for plowing; for 53,000 acres it would cost $66,250. We will estimate two bushels of seed to the acre--and this is plenty--at 80 cents a The seed cost $84,800.

The sowing at 50 cents per acre--and 40 cents would be a big price- -would amount to $26, 530. The cuttinglof the 53,000 acres at $2 per acre would come to $106, 000. The threshing at six cents a bushel comes to $60,000. Now then, let us tabulate the cost of raising these 53,000 acres of wheat in Marion county in 1890: Plowing the $66,250 Seed, 106,000 bu. 80 84,800 Sowing, at 50 per 36 530 Cutting, at $2.

106.000 Threshing, at 6 bu, 60,000 Total cost of raising. $343,580 Is $15 an acre a fair 'estimate for land? Raw land has been appraised at from $2 to $6 in a campaign. 53,000 acres of land at $15 per acre amounts to $795,000 The total cost of raising this crop of wheat and all the land which it was produced amounts to $1,138,550. The 1,000, 000 bushels of wheat raised off the 53, acres sold for $800,000 while the total cost of production and the price of the land only aggregates $1,138, 550. Or, in other words, these wheat growers only lacked 30 per cent of paying for their land from the one wheat crop.

Leaving the land out of the question they just cleared on the wheat crop of 1890 nearly a half million of If there is anything to be allowed, and there surely is, for the pasturage which the wheat affords in the fall, the profit is even greater. In these figures, it will be observed, there is not included the profits on corn, oats. rye, hay, potatoes, cattle, horses and many other things of profit produced on the farm. In the face of facts who will contend that there is no money in farming? THE object of the Government in increasing the pay of the Metropolitan police is to counteract the effect of ex-Commissioner Monro's article in the November nuinber of the NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW, in which the writer severely arraigns the Government for its extremely shabby treatment of these hard-worked and faithful, that, public the servants. It of this was publication exposure would cost the Conservatives a considerable number of votes in London, and to guard against such a catastrophe this tardy concession to the just demands of the men determined upon.

The influence was, the police force is quite a factor in London politics, and it is not impossible that the action of the Government in their behalf may not only prevent any Tory loss on account of dissatisfaction among the officers, but actually result in the gain of one or two the London Dispatch in the N.

EDITOR -For information will you please give the reason why some one does not swear out a warrant, if there is wrong-doing in the County Treasurer's office. Mr. Moore's friends, who are opposing the calling of a grand jury, say it is being called to persecute him. Why is a grand jury necessary for his prosecution? LIBERTY READER. County Attorney King asked the board to give him permission to bring suit against Moore 1 to make restitution to the county for the interest he had received on public tunds.

Two members of the board (Messrs. Osborne and Funk) refused him this request. He was balked there. The County Attorney's only recourse then was a grand jury. The law says a complaint shall not be issued except upon direct evidence.

Here is a case in point: City Attorney Martin a few days ago swore out a complaint against parties in this town "on the best of his information and belief." When the case come to trial it was quashed because the City Attorney could not swear to anything; all he knew was what some one told him. This is something like the position of the County Attorney. A banker of Marion goes to him and says that he has paid the County Treasurer big interest on public funds, but he (the banker) does not want to incur the enmity of the County Treasurer, and refuses to swear out the information. He tells the County Attorney however, that if summoned before proper tribunal, he will tell the truth. The commissioners knew of this evidence and in refusing the County Attorney's request to bring suit against Moore, the grand jury WAS the only recourse.

Many people favored the grand jury so as to have a thorough investigation of the county treasury, If nothing was found to be wrong no one would be injured in the least. The closing of the Guthrie bank last week forced the Newton National and Clearwater banks to the wall Friday. The farmers are not having entirely all the hard luck.

Our people were sadly shocked Thursday morning by the report that Mrs. Julius Mercet had been suddenly killed by the accidental discharge of a revolver at her home one mile east of Florence.

Coroner Whitacre of Peabody, was immediately informed of the matter by Dr. Sheldon, and upon his arrival here in the afernoon Maj. McLean, A. A. March, C.

J. Bowles, L. L. Evans, C. C.

Twyford, and D. C. Beatty were empanneled as a jury. After a session of several hours jury rendered a verdict that the deceased came to her death by the accidental discharge of a revolver in her own hands. The ball entered head back of the ear passing straight through the base of the brain to the opposite side of the scull.

The testimony was that Mrs. Mercet rose that morning in advanc of her husband and was observed by him handling a revolver that had been left lying upon the table in the bed room. In responce to her question as to whether the revolver was loaded, Julius answered in the affirmative and her to "lay it down," and in the doing of which she lost her life Mrs. Mercet had only been married about six months and at the time of her death was only fifteen years and three months old. -Florence Bulletin.
