County, Kansas Sufficient Unto Ourselves Corn Saved and Farmers Jubilant Time For Grafters to Hot-Foot I- THE Our ante-election predictions AND THE FipW when we were urging our good people at the last election to vote for Edward E. Sapp for 17 district judge, have come true, and then some. Without anv a habit of doing the vanishing act between the place of sekure and the Court House, and parties in whose possession ome of the goodi were found said they had purchased them from the aforesaid deputies.

The agent for some anti-liquor league who has been in Columbus some time, in a conversation with Judge Sapp some days ago, made the remark that some of the others had been making good money out of the liquor prosecutions down in this county, and now that he had Ms nose in the trough he intended, getting some gold out of it; that lie was paid some by the lea- gue that employed him. At that point Judge Sapp related to him a story of a Justice who married a couple, and when asked by the groom how much the fee was, the Justice said to him that the law allowed him two dollars, meaning he was allowed by law to charge that amount, when.the groom, said to him he thought dollars was enough for a job like that and led his blushing noise or blowing of trumpets he has proved himself capable of WHAT WILLIE.

The reign of dust and stifling heat is over, at least for a few days. After What seemed to be an interminable epoch of torrid and mois-tureless weather which had begun to create a feeling of utter despair and hopelessness among the farmers of southeast Kansas, the skies graciously opened o'clock last Monday evening and the long hoped for and long prayed for deluge of rain descended upon the sizzling and weltering earth.

It was a most welcome visitation and came just in time to succor the growing corn which was in a critical condition for want of moisture. It was also gladly welcomed by several mine operators in tins district who, we are told, had been compelled shut dawn for waul of water. It will be- possible now for these operators to resume work. The rain seemed to have been pretty general throughout a large area of the southwest, as is indicated by reports coming from Springfield Wichita, OkI" homa City, and other widely separated localities. The situation had reached the acutestage.

Farmers were hard pressed in many places to secure enough water for their stock. The beds creeks and streams were dry as the proverbial powder house and cisterns and wells BULLETIN.

gb back whence they came, and While making a round of calls Monday we called at the big white sore of Firsthand Main streets, the well' known and- ever popular Murdock hardware, store. The first thing that" -attracted our attention on approaching; this business house was the very attractive and unique window display, there we beheld a modern carpenter with a complete set of the best up-to-date tools on mar: ket which he handled in a. very fetching manner. There is nothing in this line one could possibly desire that is not found displayed here. On entering the establishment we found the management and With the departing of Daddy chagrin of that gang of grafters who.hibernate.around.Topeka, an who for several years, under the guise of law, have been robbing the people of Cherokee county of thousands of dollars.

When the grafters outside of the Attorney General's office at Topeka, saw what a snap the Attorney's staff were having down here it so excited their cTipitidy and greed that they felt that they wanted a finger in the pie, hence they sent an attorney to this county to look over the ground with the result that they concluded that in numbers there was strength and sefety then one "of the greal mlnds.to:ti cefVed and delivered the idea of a quasi-military organization' that would be the very thing needed to bring the wild and lawless, peo pie of Cherokee county intc subjection and make them pay tribute into the coffers of thi powers that be up at headquarters. The law under which the Attorney General and staff op erates, gives the Attorney Gen eral or his representative $25.00 for each count in a prosecution foi a violation of the liquor law, thai if for each sale of liquor proved against the defendant, and ic the event that the money cannot be collected from the defendant, then under the law the county becomes liable for that amount which is always promptly collecte from the county, and by that means many thousands of dollars have been collected from the tax payers of our county, but when the prosecutions are conducted by the County Attorney that fee is saved the county when the defendants are unable to pay, hence the gang's great solicitude and love for the poor benighted heathen that, live and have make a noise like a horse on the outside with his head in a stable during a storm.
