Ane Ae en me a Mary Ellen Leas is sticking her nose into municipel politics in New York. She has espoused the cause of Henry George for mayor. Like old man Filley and H. Martia Wil liams,Mrs Lease lives cff of politics Gov. Drake, of Iowa, who is stop- ping at Excelsior Sprioge, this state for hia health, is reported to bea very sick man. He is afflicted with diabetes and it is thought he will not live out his term, which ends in January. Ex-Governor W. J. Stone, as Na tional Committeeman, from Missouri, telegraphed his endorsement of Judge Van Wyck, Tammany’s candi- date for Mayor of greater New York Gov. Stone is of the school of poli licians that believein regularity, and Tammany is the regular democratic organization of that city. — Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, in- troduced an innovation by ap- pointing a lady superintendent of a street cleaning gang, and it is said she is cleaning up the old town in fine shape. When it comes to clean- iug up and making things look tidy take a woman for it every time. The mayors of other large cities might profit by the example set them by Mayor Harrison. Governor Horace Boies is evident ly in his dotage. He apparently changes his views on the fioancial question to correspoad with bis soods. He is first a free coinage democrat, then a gold tug and then he just scatters out. Poor oid Boiee, there was a time when he wasa power in Iowa politics, but he bas cut-lived his day cf usefulness and he should know enough to get out of the way or he will surely be swamp- ed. The democrats of Massachusetts last week indorsed the Chicago platform and nominated that gallant young free silver apostle, George Fred Williams, for goyernor. These WHAT OF THE HARVEST?

Thecast-ra jourvals were te-ming with sccounts of the hordes of visiting werchants, avd their heavy purchases were flaunted usa sign of the good times promised by Hanva, McKinley, & Co. That was the first chap‘er, v-ry interesting and eatisfactory to “Good Times manufacturerr,” doubt. But the second ani subse qu-nt chapters may not interesting tothem. All goods pur- chased must be paid for. and in order for the retailer to met bis ob ligations he must dispose of bis im- mense purchases to the consumer. Are the consumers cf the and eouth any more able to buy ex tensively and pay cash, than they were 2 year or two years ago? In states and localities where the far mers were fortunate enough to have wheat to sell, no doub: that cord tion exists to some degree. But the present severe drouth now through out the middle, south-ra and west ern states has more than offset tbe profits made on that cereal, even by those so fortunate as to possess it, but bow about the poor fellows who had no wheat, who had to pay the increased price on flour for con sumption and on whom the drouth falls heavily? Will they, think you, be able to buy more goods and pay the cash than in former yesr-? What of the time when the mer chant is called upon to meet his ob ligations with the manufacturers and wholesalers? We are not pessimists, but we predict that there will be more busi uess failures throughout the coun try in the next year than has oceur- red in this country 1n years, in spite of the “good times” ery of the Hanna people. That cry may, avd no doubt will, answer the purpose for which it was started, the election cf Sena- tor Hanna iu Obio. But what of the harvest? and uo prove so west It is very unfortunate for the dem- ocratic party in the nation that a division occurred in the ranks of that patty in greater New York at this time. Tho democrats have a clear majority of 60,000 in that city and a sweeping victory this fall would have encouraged the d+mo crats throughout the nation and had a correspondingly depressing effect upon republicans. But with two candidates ruoning, dividing the democratic vote; igaominious defeat seems probable The Wichita Eagle says W. J. Bryan received $2.500 for his speech atthe fair grounds in that city Thursday last Mr. Bryan talked to an audience of 35,000 people in Kan-| sas City. Saturday, the 16th, he will speak at the fair grounds at Harrisonville This would be a great opportunity for Bates county people who would like to hear him. C. E. Hastings, a nephew of Gro ver Cleveland, has been arrested at Ellinwood, Kensas. He is charged by G. W.

There were two big fires in Kan sas City Friday morning and in each instancs the entire fire department of the city was called out to subdue the flames. One cf the fires consum- ed th» large two story brick barn of the Kuusas City Transfer company. ; The birn contained a great deal of combu-tible material and the flames spresd rapidly. Of the 100 bead of horees in the barn only 16 of them made their escape. The remaining eighty four perished in the flames. Two firemen losing their lives by going down in the burving building on a falling roof. The fire occurred at the Lobenstive bvildiog on Delaware street and the Emery buildiog. Both were four story structures. The Lobenstine building was oecu- pied by the Jones Dry Goods Com- pany. The lower floors of the Emery building were ozeupied by the Faurot Manufacturing company, the second, third and fourth stories were oceupid by a number of families as living apartments “Whils the firemen were directing their attention to the flames in an endeavor to prevent their spreading to theadjoiniog buildings, the crowd on Sixth street opposite the Emery building gave veat to a shout of horror. From a bay window on the fourth floor of the building two women and a man leaned out and shouted frantically for help. No. 2 aerial ladder truck was near by, and the work of rearing the heavy ladder was begun atonce. Willing hands from the crowd of spectators lent their assistance, and the ladder shot quickly upward. Before it had reached an upright position, Lynch and Connors were rapidly mounting the rounds When the extension of the ladder began to ascend the two gallant firemen were upon it, and clambered up, round after round, as the l:dder neared the fourth story In the meantime, the two women, unable longer to withstand the beat of the flames which enveloped the room, climbed cutside the window came near second brick ledge, less than twelve inches in width. y The crowd below was korror stricken. They expected each mo- ment to see the women fa'l headlong to their death. The end cf the ex tension ladder bad barely touched the window ledge, when Mrs. Geo. Kelly, uoable longer to maintain ber; balance on the narrow stone, fell forward. She was caught by Con- nors, who carried her limp, and apparently lifeless. form down to the strest below.

Pellets never fail to curt constipation. The bick bone of the long drouta which bes prevailed in this county, we might say ricce the 28th cf June, was broken in this immediate neigh borhood Sunday morning by a nice shower, which, while not sufficient to moistel the earth encush to start vegetation or supply tue wells, pon is and creeks with much needed stock water, did the nics thing of laying the dust which had beeome very deep end annoying to travel, the merchant and the good house wife Siacea week ago the water sprinkler on the publie square has been suspended on account of the scarcity of supply of ths water-works and the dust has been a great men ace to the merchant, whe, to save their goods from damage have had tokeep the front doors of their places of business closed during the day. The drouth beats the rec ollection of the oldest settler. Far- wers tell us there has been very itie fall plowing dose, and while many contemplated sowing largely to wheat this s ason, but few have been able to prepare ground - and dri!l the seed, and these that have planted would much prefer that the seed was out of the ground. Otbere say the wheat sowa has sprouted and died and that if they get a stad seeding will have to be don+ over agair. Had the season been fair there would bave been a large acreage of wheat planted in this county, the present price giving the farmers stimulant, but under the crcumstances the crop will be un- usually small with the most favora- ble weather from now on. There are forty-seven convicts in ths Kansas penitentiary who bave been sentenced to be hanged. In expressing his views on capital pun- ishmest in gereral, Gov.
