Kmi'okia, Kan., Manli 'i't.
If you will allow me I will once more
take up a little of the space of the Tuadkk
and write of other pints of Kansas which I
have visited since writing you from Caw
ker City. Honrilliijr the train early in the
morning, after a ride of wine 40 miles on
the Kansas Central, Concordia was reached.
Of all the roads in Kansas I think the K.
(.'. is the worst, as far us accoinniixlations
for the traveling public are concerned.
Krm Concordia the Kcpulilican Valley
branch was taken to Junction City, and
feveial of the towns along the line visited,
iind tine little cities they were too, especi
ally Clay Center, the county seat of Clay
county. Although one of those gentle
Kansas breezes was howling and shrieking
around tho corners and up the streets,
blowing clouds of dust into your face, no
matter which way you turned to escape,
the streets were crowded with people and
teams. The place itself is a model little
city, )ossessing some very tine brick busi
ness blocks, two or three lirstclass hotels,
and two as live newspapers as there are
west of Kansas City. I doubt if there is u
richer or more fertile section of country in
the state than that bordering the Hepubli
can river.
From Junction City Abilene was next
visited, n miniature metropolis. That you
may judge of the extent of business done
in this city, I will say that the stock of one
uf the leading merchants here invoiced
this last winter $ HSO.OUO. The name of
the men-hunt is J. K. Ilonebrake, and his
iilace of business covers half a blin k. It
would take a very large eastern city to
Hip)ort a firm like this, and yet Abilene
has less than 4,MH) population. Manhatten
was the next stopping, a very enterprising
little city, situated at the junction of the
Blue with the Kaw river. If your humble
wrvunt ever regretted not being a "good
Hhot" it was here, as the rivers were full of
geese and ducks, and the hunters were
having splendid sport.
From Manhatten the next jump was to
Topeka. The depot is situated in North
Topeka, the city proper being a mile or so
Koiith; and I would say right here that if
any of your renders would fully appreciate
the capitol ami largest city of Kansas, to
ride up town in a street car. If they
should happen to walk up the long grade
to the city, no amount of grandeur in the
t-hape of stately buildings and lofty spires
will arouse their wonder or appreciation.
Well, the best comparison I can make is
that Topeka is a young Chicago. The
legislature was in session, and a fine, intel
lectual looking body of men they were too.
At present the capitol buildings consist of
two structures, but the additions, when
completed, will make a very imposing pile
of masonry. I think the La Salle county
court house would discount either of the
huildiiurs as they now stand. About a
third of the IHiimliition are colored, and
quite a number of the Mliee are negroes.
Monday morning early it was not
bright, but cloudy and misty, it having
rained the previous night we wended our
way through the mud and mist to the
Santa Fe dcxt to take the train for this
place Kmjioria. KiiiH.ria contains in the
neighiMirhood of N,UlO souls. Its buildings
both business, private and public, are sub
t-tantial, and many of them quite elegant
Its btreets are well laid out, and a few-
weeks ngo street cars were introduced,
giving it every appearance of a flourishing
young city. The Normal school building
hx'ated here is one of the finest edifices in
this part of the shite. KmMria is rapidly
grow ing, as are almost all Kansas tow ns
One thing that strines the trawler
through Kansas is the absence of inanufac
'oles in her many cities and towns. Ami
another thing that strikes some pretty
hard is the difficulty exierienced in get
ting anything to "wet one's whistle" in the
way oi a "Hcnnoner" or beer or whisky
straight In most or the smaller towns in
toslcating liquors cannot lie procured at
any price, which is very lianl on h reallv
thirsty man. Consequently few prisoner
are found in county jails in counties w here
drlnklnir Is most prohibited.
The weather has been very pleasant for
the past few weeks, and to-day is lovely,
overcoats being oselesg. Home fine rains
ha fallea during the put week, and the
winter wheat and rye along the road look
splendid. The crop prospects were never
-. better than at present, consequently Kansa
people are happy.
All for the present
Very respectfully, Dike.
From Cleveland.
Ci.kvki.anii, 0., March 23, WV
Deak Fkke Thaokk: Wherever my
sojourn Is, it always seems perfectly
natural for me to sit dow n in the midst of
my sight seeing and chat with the Fiikk
TitAPKii about it. I find that fickle March
Shows no preferences and visits Ohio in
much the same manner as she does Illi
nois, with one day a smile and on the next
a frown that chills one to the very marrow.
However, Saturday was oik of the bright
davs and gave one an opportunity to judge
of 'the beauty of the city of Cleveland, the
s,.,. 1 city of Ohio in extent and popula
tion. Almost the first question a Cleve
lander asks a stranger Is, "Have yu been
on Kuclid Avenue?'' And Euclid Avenue
on a bright dav, even in this trying month,
is surely worth seeing. All seemed bent
on improving the fine day yesterday and
the avenue was crowded witli lovely chil
dren, aged men and women, and last, but
not least, some of the fairest daughters of
Ohio, not in "pristine garb and mien," by
any means, but in clothing rich ami lovely.
Cleveland claims, I believe, inoro than
200,000 people, and is at present, as you
well know, under Democratic rule. We
attended a party on Wednesday ui.no.
given by the young democrats at their club
rooms in We-t Cleveland. Ihere we inn

np.,11 the ladies and even enjoying the
imi.y waltz with them. Another young
politician met is City Clerk Salem, u young
man of only twenty-two years, but a person
of ability and energy who is much ad
mired in the city.
Several other prominent men were pres
ent and made short Hitical speeches pre
vious to the dancing, most of them endors
ing I 'ay lie for the coining presidency
The most brilliant speech of the evening
was made by the young and promising at
torny Hisely, who stumped the state of
Ohio for Hancock.
To be brief, the party given by the
"kids," as these democrats are named here,
passed off III a most enjoyable manner.
There are a great many points of interest
In and about the city which are to be visit
ed later on. Meanwhile I must not forget
that "brevity is the soul of wit," and even
the agreeable chat with old friends must
have its ending. And where I am "the
shadows of the evening hours fall from the
darkening skv." Farewell for a time.
Ci.kvki.and, March III.
Dkaii Fkek T11 ui:h : Since my last
letter was written I have had a slight ex
perience in sugar making. On last Satur
day my gallant old friend, the Captain, in
formed me there was a treat in store for us.
Adam Ager, otherwise known in the viciu
ity of Cleveland as "Old Uncle Adam," in
vited us to come out to his farm anil from
there we would join a party of other city
people to go to the sugar camp anil eat hot
maple syrup and have a good time general
It is almost superfluous to add I was
ready for the fun. We drove out west of
Cleveland aliout eight miles on the plank
road, what was formerly called the Detroit
road, and n-aehed Uncle Adam's at two
o'clock. There we found a lively crowd
gathered lioth from the city ami country.
Uncle Adam informed me that he had
lived on his farm since lie was two years
old, and consequently was pretty well
known in that region. I found that the
Lord had blessed him w ith four daughters,
the jolliest .specimens of womankind
Imairlnable. I think if I were to travel
the state of Ohio over from the lake to tlu
river on the south no finer, brighter speci
mens of fanners daughters could be found.
We had encountered a keen, chilling wind
from Lake Frio on the drive out and our
appetites were in fine condition for the
ham and eggs, flaky brow n bread and hot
coffee which was cooked and served by
Uncle Adam's daughters. Then came the
preparations for the picnic at the sugar
camp. hen the eataliles anil The peopit
were snugly packed in the .carriages sev
eral voices shouted, "Hurrah for the sugar
bush," and off we all went.
We had a drive of four miles, and 011 tin
way I became acquainted with that de
lightful mixture known as Ohio clay
w hich in some places insisted upon cover
Inir the hubs of the wheels, lint no
amount of yellow clay could counteract our
appetites for sweets just then, so we toiled
011 and reached the camp in safety. We
found a sugar house to cover our heads
from the wind, a bright, warm wood fire to
cheer us, and huge kettles of boiling sapti
warm the inner man if desired. Nothing
astonished a green Illinois specimen like
myself so much as when the gaunt hoosicr
like woman, who handled the ladle and
did the stirring, said to me In a high
pitched voice: "That 'ere kittle 's got hint
bar'ls of sap (I wish you could hear lit
say sap) in it, an' it'll bile nigh onto three
days 'fore it's sugared." 1 really am at a
loss to decide whether I was more pleased
with the sap or the woman that stirred the
sap.
Each one sat down around the fire with
a sauce plate of warm maple syrup, and, of
course, we rapidly became sweeter and
sweeter. One old Scotchman, of the city
party, ate so much that it seemed to make
him silly, and lie ended by spilling a dish
ful of hot syrup down the front of his
wife's seal sklu cloak, on my ulster, and
covering hisJAn tic overshoe. The sjort
waxed warmer and wanner until every
one seemed to me to be acting his verv
funniest.
The dinner was eaten with a relish, and
when the hour came for leaving and We
had to say gwxlhye to Uncle Adam. I
wished down In the bottom of my heart
that "sugar bushes" and "Ager families"
were more frequent in my own state. -
