The Various Couaties Gettlag Sows to Work -Kama Will 2 at Chieag in 1893. Mr. F. R. French editor of the Lakin Index, writes: "Kearney county has put up her first call of 10 per cent and ready to honor the second call when made.

We of western Kansas are heartily in favor of a. Kansas exhibit, and if I mistake not are 'comitig up to the work more promptly an central or eastern Kansas. I -hope for better things, however, in this jubilee year of good crops, and we hope that the association will push the work to a final suo-ce js. Having put our hands to the plow we must not look back." Mr. French has been a warm friend of the movement It is hoped that other editors of tho state will turn iu and give the movement their earnest support.

Mr. W. M. Campbell, editor of the Minneapolis Commercial, and' secretary the Ottawa county association, writes that "Ottawa county will raiee her quota, part of which now in the hands of the collectors. In an artioie urging the reople to respond promptly, in Mr.

Campbell's paper, he says: "The importance to the people of Kansas is suoh that every citizen in her borders should feel a deep interest in seeing that a sufficient fund is raised to enable her to be represented on this occasion. We believe every state in the west will be represented on that occasion, and Kansas can not afford to be made word of derision on account of her absence. KansaB has a world-wide reputation, securod in part by her exhibit at Philadelphia in 1876, and what wdl bathe effect when the exhibition opens up and all other states represent-except Kansas. A Kansas exhibit is demanded by patriotism and state pride, as well as the advantages to be obtained by exhibiting Kansas products to all nations of the world." The Commercial covers the entire ground in the above paragraph. Kansas must be represented.

From a business ben so it can not afford to let the matter gd by default. Patriotism and state pride ought to move every citizen of Kansas in the work of raising the 8100,000 for tho state exhibit at Chi- CHgO. THE NORTHWEST. Hon. J.

B. KcQonigal of Oborlin cn Deca tur County Crops and Politics-Hon. J. B. McQonigal of Oberlin is in the city, and in conversation last night with a Capital reporter said, in reply to a question as to what was the condition I of the crops and people in his section of the state: The crops our county were never better, and the farmers are jubilant.

Many who left Inst fall are returning, and many more wish they were back. Ihe farmers are so busy with their crops at present that they are not pay-irg much attention to politics. The abundant crop of this year will be the moans tiding many farmers over their financial difficulties and of paying them completely out of debt. I know of one fatmer who was greatly distressed over the fact that he had a mortgage of 8500 on his farm and ho had fully decided to let the mortgage take the farm, and with his team and what other property he had clear to go Bomewhero and start anew, but he now says that this crop will enable him to pay off the entire debt and have his farm clear. "Whut is the political situation in your county?" was asked.

"While the alliance is remaining in tact all right enough, and the alliance men are doing some work, I don't think they can poll ns many votes as they did last fall. The alliance convention of the Sixth district was held the other day at Norton, and was very Blimly attended by farmers, in fact 1 don believe there were more than farmers in town. are many men in the alliance who are there merely for office and when the nominations are made this fall and they see the result tbey will drop out and return to their former politics. The alliance, like the chureh hue. does not thrive in a wet year.

J.ne oia soldiers are also be-1 ginning to see that wit is not support is for to their advantage to tho alliance. The alliance the repeal of the McKinley bill and in order that the old soldiers may get their pensions and get them promptly the McKinley bill must not be repealed. Mr- Stickler Should be Heard. To the Editor of the Capital: Delphos, July 27. In your is sue of the 25th inst, the.

article "Two Schemers," where my name is connected with James Dinwiddie in conspiring to defraud and rob an insane soldier out of a large sum of pension money does me as well as Mr. Dinwiddie a great injustice. The charges made against me are so far from the truth that I will not attempt to explain at this time. Suffice it to say that I did nothing I should be censured for. Did not get one penny for what I did nor had any thought of such a thing.

I aimed to do all 1 did openly, honestly and uprightly, under the entire direction and instruction of the court. Any attempt or intention to do differently is not characteristic of my life or manuer of doing business, as a residence of over twenty years here will prove. Those who know me will be very slow to believe me guilty of such grave and uncalled for charge-1. I trust time will prove whether I am justly censured or not and why it wsb done in thus trying to injure the reputation of one who has ever worked for the up building of good morals and the eleva tion of human character. Respectfully, George W.

Stbicklf.k. We have known Mr. Strickler for many years, lie nas always enjoyed the best reputation ana been held in the highest esteem among bis friends and acquaintances. Until, the evidence is all in, public judgment Bhouid be witheld and Mr. Strickler afforded an opportunity to prove that the charges against him are false.

Sam Emmons, a middle-aged soldier giving Emporia at his home, had a tough experience Topeka during Tuesday night, according to his own story told to the police.

Some time Tuesday he purchased a railroad ticket Emporia to Detroit and return, intending to help swell the crowd of old soldiers at the coming encampment, lie boarded a Santa Fo train and came as far as Topeka and got off hero in the night, juet what for he he is not quite clear on. Leastwise he allowed his train to go on its way and be remained in and shortly after went into a small restaurant somewhere on Fourth street. He don't know where the restaurant was nor an thing about it-Here he claims he drank five or six glasses of ciderwhich made him and he sat down on a chair ana went to sleep. Iu his pockets was the ticket to Detroit, fifty dollars in money and a gold watch. He" does not know just how long he slept, but says he was awakened by a colored man, who told him he had missed his train, and that ha had better get out.

But he was too stupid tq remain awake and went back into a slum-bar at once, tind that was tho last he knew until early yesterday morning when he awoke and found himself lying in a mortar box near the Santa Fe station witrl his heels propped up on one side of the box about three feet higher than his head. Just wbat it was that made him sleep and how he came in the mortar box are mysteries he can't possibly explain. He is certain of one thing, however, and that is that his ticket, foifevhich he claims to have paid $17.50, his 850 and his watch were gone. About 8 o'olock the police found him wondering aim lessly around, and arrested him for a drunk, which now appears to have been fairly correct diagnosis of his condi tion. The police in the first place thick he was drunk and have reasons to believe his story of robbery untrue, as he claims to have purchased bis ticket Tuesday J.en would have been an impossi bility as these excursion tickets were not put on sale until after every train on the Santa Fe had pulled out of Emporia on Tuesday night.

He may have been robbed of his watch and money, but it ia certain he i never had a ticket to Detroit for which he paid $17.50 as he claims. In the police court yesterday mora ine he was fined 85 for drunkenness. He i appealed to the old soldiers of Topeka and was helped out of jail. He says he. has property and money at Emporia and has sent for some ot the latter to buy another ticket for the encampment.

AP- The SapjmleM Bond Denied the Union Pacific by Jndg Erewer-Otker' Items PiekadUp ia Bailroid Cirelei Yeatsrday- News was received here yesterday of the appointment of Geo. 1 Sands of this city to the position of superintendent of transportation tfor the San Antonio and AranBas Pass This system has nearly one thousand i miles of road and is growing It has bad financial trouble aud been in the hands of rooiverg, but has just been put on its feet and placed in charge of Mr.

D. B. Robinson, who resigned from the Atlantic Pacific management to take the new situation. Mr. Robinson calls Mr.

Sands to his aid, knowing bis worth from their long association on tho Santa Fe system. Mr. Sands, during his thirteen years connection with the Santa Fe, has proved himself a man of rare ability in railroad' work. He has an iron wiil and unlimited nerve and his experience hes covered all the field from the humblest work to the top. He insists oh having his way as a superintendent but he keeps faith with, his men snd never fails to keep them loyal and roliablo and efficient.

He is a strict economist of the Hexie school and knows how to remember the stockholders as conscientiously ae he does tho employes. He is a gentleman always and never fails to command the respect ot bis associates. He has the best wishes of all who know him. The system to which Mr. Sands has gone has many of the largest towns ot Texas on its lines, Kerrville, Austin.

Waco, Boerne, San Antonio, Gonzales, Corpus Christi, Aransas Pass harbor and Housten are- among the number. A' line ia being pushed to Tampico, Mexico, and other extensions are being made in various directions. The country is developing rapidly and is coming to be a big part of the earth. 'the motion overruled. The following dispatch was received last evening Omaha, July 29 Judge Brewer this morning refused to grant the Union Pao fie" railway a supersedeas bond to carry its case to the supreme court, holding that suoh a bond would practi cally nullify the decree.

This settles the case and the Rock Island and Milwaukee can come over the bridge into Omaha. Ths court will decide the other con tested point whether joint rules and reg ulations must be formulated before trains can use the Union Paoifio tracks, or whether thoy can be operated under the union Paoino rules until joint rules can be made. it is quite probable that the Union Pacific will apply to the su preme court for a writ of error and to restrain the Kook Island from crossing the bridge.

The other Karlsson children, boys of i eight and eleven years, and the Franzen baby, who hare had slight cases of diphtheria, are now all doing well, and "will undoubtedly recover.

The family in attendance have been somewhat troubled with sore throats, a natural Consequence of those who attend per-' sons suffering from such diseases. Othewise no evidences of the Jiphtberia have been seen among the adult members of the family or others who have been directly exposed. The strictest quarantine has been kept at the Franzen premises 6ince yesterday noon. A guard keeps watch over the house and nidewalk day and night, and all persons who are obliged to go along Shawnee street at this point turn out and take the middle of the road. Besides Mr.

and Mrs. Franzen and the KnrlHSon family three other women are now under quarantine that will not be raised before Friday, and if any ot the patients now improving should grow worse it will of course bo continued. Mies Salmon Frazen, a sister of the afflicted family, who works in a down town restaurant, went to the house in Potwin Tuesday to assist in caring for tne little sufferers uud is now quarantined with the rest. Mrs. Holstroui end her daughter, living about a block east of the Franzen residence on Cherokee street, are hIso under a quarantine guard.

The newspapers of this oity and the provinces are filled with harrowing details of the excursion train disaster.

Such ghastly railroad acoidents as this one are not everyday occurrences, and were popularly supposed to be confined to-the United States. Interest in the horror is greatly in creased by the fact that up to the present the official inquiry made has failed to establish the cause of the col lision, which is attributed ia turn to re venge, malice, carelessness and inoom-J potency, according to revelations of the hour. Seven additional victims died last night, making a total of fifty dead ac counted for, but the terribly consumed state of some of the remains found makes it probable that the heaps of cinders collected may be those of two people in place of ono. The interment of the victims will take plaoe iu the cemetery of St Mande to morrow, and will be conducted at the expense of tho cJrsmune. The assistant station master at Vincennes and the driver of the second engine have been arrested on the charge of having con tributed by carelessness to the events which brought about the collision.

There were twenty-four hearses in the black line, whion led from the town hall to the cemetery, and thousands of mourners followed the bodies to their grave.
