This experience o( West Virginia shows that thoro aro somo things a groat deal worse than a dry spoil. Thursday of noxt weok Is the Fourth of July, and you can have several Winds of a good tlrao In Iola on that day. A Kansas banker has gono to tho Philippines to find a ohanco to InvoBt his monoy. Which .is anothor evl donco of tho way tiraos havo changed. About two years from now somo body will bo organizing a rollof ex pedition to hunt for tho Baldwin ex ploring party sotnowhoro In tho arctics. Thkre was not a single strike in any of tho Kansas coal mlnos last yoar, and that is thollrst ,tImo such u record was inado siuco tho mines were opened. Tiikku Is considerable norvo scat tered about this country, but tho Jhlgh school principal who has applied for tho chancellorship of tho Stuto Uni versity seems to havo moro than his s haro. Kansas City Star: If tho "Allied Third Party" will only absorb tho barnaclos that havo attached them selves to tho Democracy tho past fow years, to tho untold Injury of that party, It will not bo without a mission on this earth. With tho removal of fusion tho name of Democracy might havo its original moaning rostorcd. From the sound of tho platform adopted by the now third party orga nizers at Kansas City last week, it is ovtdont that tho old nineteenth contury Populist was on hand in forco. Tho resolutions talk about the public own crshlp of railroads and other things, initlatlvo and referendum and full legal tender monoy, just 113 tho resolu tions written in tho last century by James Woaver and Ignatius Donnol loy and P. P. Elder and other per historic Populists used to. The meeting of tho Normal Instltuto in Marlon county was made tho occas ion for a special Instltuto edition of tho Poabody News which is highly crcdltablo both to tho publlshors and tho patrons of that onterprising paper. The edition is mado up in tho small pago form, with a tinted cover, and is profusoly Illustrated with pictures of men, places of business and homes of Marlon county. Arrr.n submitting in sllenco to tho pro-Boer meeting hold in London tho other night, tho English government cannot complain If Uncle Paul Kruger Unds somo friends when ho visits tho United States. A CAUiirur.. newspaper reader says that there aro 111010 crimes, accidents and other casualties reported In tho Monday paper than on any other day in tho week. Have you noticed it, and if so, how do you explain It' Oxi: of Uk star pitchers on tho Washington, D. C, team this year is Paul Curtis, u deaf iimto from Kansas. Now 1 ow In tho world do you suppo-o a deaf imitu manages to l"t nu umpire know what ho thinks of him? Du. Qua Yl.t: has returned fiom In dianapolis to the biggest Methodist church in Kansas City, and in tho 10 portof hlslii'st sermon "laughter" and "applause" aro sprinkled plentifully. Bow Uie good Doctor would shock Baldwin now I Pennsylvania papers complain of tho fioUrnoss of cherries and other fruit, due, they explain, to tho lack of sunshine nccosstiry to crystallo tho sweet juices in thorn into sivur. If sunshino was all they needed, they ought to havo been brought to Kansas. OniiMANY has been held up to laughter or scorn, according to tho point of view, for a hundred years as the groatest beer drinking nation on oarth; but statistics for tho pant year show that the per capita consumption of beer in England was thirty-one gal lons, while that of Germany was only twenty-sovon g lions. In Fobruary, 1875, tho county com missioners of Labetto county offerod u reward of $2000 for tho conviction of tho Bender family. Tho roward has nover boon claimed, although various suspects havo been tried and acquitted, and last weok tho commissioners with drew tho roward. And thus Is taken, doubtless, tho last olllclal action that will over bo required In tho most cele brated and tho most mysterious caso in tho criminal history of Kansas. IP it were not for tho women nnd tho family Bibles moro than half tho peo ple on earth would not know when anything happened to him. A man who has been married forty years was asked for tho dalo tho other day," and had to go to tho Blblo for It; and a man who had been married two joars gavo a duto ten years earlier.

'I The Price of Zinc Ore Doesn't I11 llneiieu Price of Spelter. m 11 1 si f General Oiliceivs of Ft. Scott, Iola and Western. WIIL ttEBIJpB SOI B.F. McDonald, of Ft. Scott Probably Be Elected President. Fivn yoars ago thoro was probably not a farmer In Barton county who would not havo sold his property for considerably loss than it cost him In order to get away from a country that scetnedtoofar outou tho dosort to over amount to anything. Today there Is on deposit In tho banks of that county $89.05 per capita, and this year's wheat crop has not yot boon sold. A TON of Trego county shalo is soon to havo thirty or forty dollars worth of gold and silver taken from it, ac cording to ono of tho gcntlotncn con nected with the entorpriso, and tho in got is to bo sold for tho benefit of somo Kansas charity. "If wo got tho met al, " says the gontleman, "it ought to bring a fancy price at auction," It will, it will! As an Illustration of tho adago that tho price of spoiler has nothing to do with tho price of zinc oro a dispatcli from .Totiliu states Unit it is only nec essary to mention a couple of instances f is comparison with tho last week rola tivo to oro and metal values. At this time last jear metal sold at $.1.!)74, while $2(1 a ton was tho highest prico paid for zinc oro. Five years ago metal was $4 and tho top prlco for zinc ore was only S21 a ton. Tho last week metal wus quoted throughout at only S3.77I, yot zinc oro sold as high us $28 a ton. Tho agitation of the situation by tho producers tho last two jears has undoubtedly brought about this change. Nor is tills all. The pro ducers boldly assert und provo by tho foreign basis of oro prices that they aro entitled to still moro money for tho oro on tho present metal market. And thoy hopo to secure this further Increased value by tho exportation of ono-fourth of the weekly output. Although tho producers think thoy aro not yet gottlng a full valuation for tho motal contents of their oro even on this showing, it is gratifying to know that zinc oro is $2 a ton higher tnan a yoar ago. Tho oro shipment of last week, compared with tho correspond ing week of 1000, perhaps owing to the dilTerenco In tho oro voluos, shows an incraaso of 1,303 tons of zlno But it is less than tho previous week 1,244 tons of zinc. Tho preceding week was tho record broakor of tho year, and oven with tho decrease shown it is above the average woekly value of the year. Tho highest prlco paid for zinc oro was $28 a ton. Ft. Scott Monitor: It was given out today that tho goncral offices of the Ft. Scott, Iola & Western road, tho now entorpriso which is now being built through Allon county would bo located in Fort Scott. This is not looked upon as a very gigantic enter prise at prosont but it might bo in time, especially if it connects with tho St. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado lino, but tho item cannot bo overlooked and tho commercial club that is to bo or ganized should see to it that Fort Scott gets all thoro is coming to her. Mr. B. F. McDonald says he wants tho road to run to Fort Scott and tho citizens should help to land It, no mat tor how insignificant tho scheme ap pears. Those who aro promoting tho project havo not asked for any bonus and It probable that they will not. This will bo tho eastern terminus of tho lino in tho ovent that It is extended hero and if .sufficient encouragement is given It will go a long ways In consid ering tho matter of establishing ter minal facilities hero. A meeting of tho board of directors will ho hold In this city in a day or two, probably tomorrow, or as soon as tho chatter is received hero. In all likelihood II. P. McDonald will ho made president. Ex-Governor Francis who was recently made n member of tho directory, is expected to bo hero if prossing business matters In tho east do not provent. Ho will also probably bo 0110 of tho olllcers. Mr. Francis Is interested In tho St. Louis, Kansas City A, Colorado, which Is now push ing this way and is also closely Idontl llcd wltli tho Frisco road. Uo and John Scullln, prosident of tho Colora do line, recently oxtended tho Frisco lino to Harrison, Arkansas, in nn ef fort to roach tho undeveloped mining districts of Arkansas, nnd all those circumstances aro causing consider able speculations. Tho Fort Scott, Iola & Western road will maintain temporary ollicos with C. C. Nolson & Co. Chief Engineer Dunning spent Sun day in tho city, but returned to Moran this morning. Ho was accompanied by James Burton, ex-city engineer who will work with tho engineering patty. It is now stated that tho Kaly road to Joplln is dolayoJ beeuuso of nego tiations with tho Missouri Pacific. It Is claimed that tho Kuty has decided to uso tho Missouri Paclllc yards at Joplin and a report from that city says that General Manager llussoll Harding of tho Missouri Pacific, will goto Joplln somo time this week for tho purpose of looking over tho situ ation. Tho Missouri Pacific road has long contemplated building a road to Galona nnd It Is now possiblo that tho two roads will build jointly;. By building this line to Joplln tho Katy road will be ablo to socuro a largo part of tho business of tho mining dis trict and as soon as tho road from Moran to Plqua, tho eastern terminus of which will probably bo this city, is completed the road will bo ablo to carry tho zinc ore diroct from tho Ga lena and Joplln district to tho natural gas smelters at Iola.

Spencer & Qo. ft cures Constipa tion, Indigoston, Sick Headache and Stomach Troublq. --:w; IS HE Kin Their Extension to the Joplln Ore Fields Evidence That They tiro Hack of Our New ttoutl.- In proof of tho theory that tho Katy is back of tho much talked about now railroad from Moran to Plqua tho following from tho Joplln Nows-Horald is of intcrost. Tho extension men tioned is a road from the main lino of tho Katy into tho Joplin oro Holds and would bo of llttlo uso to tho systeai without connection with tho smokers. "F. B. Drew, genoral frolght and ticket agent for tho Missouri, Kansas tc Toxas railroad, in Kansas and tho Indian Torrltory, camo over fromPar sons last ovonlng, and today ho drove over a portion of tho proposod routo for tho Joplln extension In company with Engineer Novlns. Mr. Drow was non-committal as to his authority in starting building operations, but be foro driving out ho hold a conference with E. J. Ovorly, president of tho Joplln Street Improvement and Con struction company, which is now en gaged in building roods In Missouri and Kansas. Aftor tho conference, Mr. Overly was not at liberty to dlvulgo tho nnturo of tho talk; how evor, within tho noxt few days It may bo announced that U10 contract is let to tho Joplln firm." FROM LIEUTENANT MITGBELL lie Thinks (he Wnr in the I'lillipplnes is 0 er and Hopes to Come Home Soon. Tho editor of tho IlmiSTr.it has a letter from Lieutenant Burton E. Mitchell whjso homo is In Iola, but who Is now nn aide on tho stall of Gen. Funston from which tho follow ing oxtract will bo road with genoral interest: "Tho General Is onjoj lug the best of health and Is wading through 100 li ters a day. Mrs. Funston and l.i-r sister expect to return to the States in u week or two, As theformor1-. health is not good, tho severe uutmclt iiinto seeming to not agree with her, I do not expect to return until the lat ter part of tlio summer, if then. Tho war Is all over in tho northern part of Luzon, the last bunch of Insurgents, 250, surrendering heu to tho General two days ago.
