The State Journal claims the greatest in Kansas with an average daily circulation during three dull summer months in 1894 showing over fifty percent annual increase. The piece appears to be a printer's demo note from the State Journal dated Sept 11, signed by the State Journal editor and proofs suber, touting newspaper strengths and the New York sister office.
Weather bulletins show Esneas forecast to six this evening. Generally fair skies likely Sunday with cooler temperatures and a northwest wind. The piece blends travel notes and political asides about McKinley and party clubs, with local commentary on press and public figures.
A sequence of quotes and remarks from multiple papers rails at political figures in Kansas. Critics oppose nominating Jupse Caiupsknean, defend anti free silver stance, and deride titles like Hon. and Gen. The debate touches Atchison, Topeka, and Hutchinson, with Gov. Meincher and McKinlay scheduled to speak, and cites Sharp partisan digs and moral stances by Rev. Caokies M. Senor as local commentary.
A fragmented poem titled Martin's Dilemma by the State Journal Poet presents a garbled, aged dialogue about names and days. The text is heavily corrupted, making coherent narrative or events unreadable, with scattered references to characters like Johany Jounsy and Wesely, and mentions of past and present actions without clear meaning.
A collage of local items from Horton and Peabody notes oddities and rumors. A Florence lan swap for a coffin, a youth sent to the penitentiary, a surgeon’s reflections, and a Brown county electric belt seller claiming Lew Wallace kin. Peabody football forms amid barber opposition. Crimes, curiosities, a Kingman window death, and stray anecdotes fill this column.
Special Correspondent New York Sept 20 Colonel Robert G Ingersoll is seen in modest rooms high on Wall Street with a large annual income estimated between 50 000 and 100 000 yet he lives plainly. He funds schemes but refuses biography and insists on verbatim publication. Friends recount his hard work on lectures and disdain for wealth preferring simple homes on Fifth Avenue and near Dobbs Ferry. A brief note on rapid transit follows noting a train at 100 mph would require at least two miles to stop.
Englishborn Rockford resident Colonel Thomas G. Lawler and commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Republic has a 50 year career with the G A R. He joined in 1866 and led Nevins post No 1 for 26 years, lacking only one post meeting in a quarter century. He also served as department commander in Illinois and was postmaster of Rockford for 12 years. Lawler, friend of General Logan, is a potential Republican governor candidate.
Alameda Prohibitionists misfiled a bid, nominating Herbert Waters of Oakland for county clerk instead of his twin Albert. Albert, unaware, stayed in Fresno while Herbert attended the convention to a warm reception, prompting amused reactions in Oakland.
Local headlines recount a mix up between Herbert and Albert Waters in a county clerk nomination. Herbert, popular with townsmen, ends up thanked for a donor he did not know, while Albert loses priority on election day. A joke unfolds as apologies land with the wrong brother. The piece also notes a historical fact about iron in blood capable of making a plowshare.
