Elm Mills, and Isa bel The county has three lines of rail road: The Santa Fe, running to Hazleton, Kiowa. Sharon, and Medicine Lodge; the Miuuri Pacific, going to Hazleton nnd Kiowa; and the Mulvano exten ts o:i of the Santa Fe, running through the northern part of the county. The county is the best watered of any in Kansas, its iTever failing streams being supplied by cool springs of pure water. Most of the streams are skirted by timber, rind from each reaches out broad second bottoms rich as those beside the Nile. The 6 i is very deep, impregnated with gypsuin and sand; never bakes, is easily tilled, and responds with wonderful productiveness. The county is free-range, the only one in this part of Kansas that is. This feature pnnits the fanner to handle stock with out a great outlay of money for fencing, Tl on was marketed last year live stock r'iKrd in Barber county amounting' to more than $500,000. The wheat crop in -1 i craged. in the county. 21 bushels toil, acre, while many fields went as high n bushels, corn averagod 4 bushels, and 1 I- i-'iels was a frequent crop; oath yield fr u i into To bushels; millet from 4to0 tt ris.

The county has r .i good cotton'and there is a gin at the untv scat. Its sorghum sugar industry i- iH.u- known to the world. The sugar H.nk-t at Medicine Lodge started late in 1 pioduced over 500,000 pounds of sor t' i.u -agar, and from beets grown on four ur i-iadc 10,000 pounds of beet sugar. fjl v. oiks are being enlarged, a refinery pi.: in. and this season they expect to man u. i-iu re 4.000,000 pounds of beet and sor ,1 in .sugar. Farmers who raised tor g..'im for the mill realized from $-J0 t !'!0 per acre for their labor; tl"v x ill realize double this on the S'..M-lxetsthey plant. The county has r .ii 100 organized school districts and t. m -live school houses, those at Kiowa, I J I awl Medicine Lodge being large, br-t k modern buildings, heated by steam. 1 Li iv are churches or church organiza- t us in every town, city and neighborly- d The immense gypsum deposits are Li i- utilized by a cement and plaster i i- factory at the county seat that will b .out from three to live car loads of i -.nufauured product daily.

The county 1 -two successful creameries, one at Ha and one at Medicine Lodge; two I- .i inuring mills, one at Hazleton, one i.i Mills; five newspapers, the Index a 1 re-set, at Medicine Lodge; Herald a b.-irnal, at Kiowa, and Express, at l' ii.tit. liKl is worth from jRJ to SW I tv. Stock needs feeding but three i in the year. The farmer can I.--. i'i plow with his coat off three liun n .-lav, in the year. There are more s days tbau in any country, sunny 1 i not excepted. Barton County. n organized in 1S72, and has an area uare miles; is located alwit mid v .1 le state, north and south, and the i .uuty west of the geographical t The county seat is Great Bend, .s in ,1 on the great liend of the Arkansas l v i several other important towns in t c .unty are well located and pros-I- 1-.

The first settlement was made l and it now lias a population of Z uhi The soil is dark, rich, deep, loam a- 1 1 watered by the Arkansas, river. "Yal- i;u ..nd Cow creeks, all living streams, r 'j -i ral ethers jart of tlie year. Also 1 s ,i abundance of good pure well water t! is never failing. Barton county has n h uite a succe-s in tree growth, and Lm. tny fine groves of young timber, and qi ..n .-.mount of natural timber along ti e s. reams. Many farmers are successful ir friur growing, and in a few years fruit av.11 be crown and bearing all over the count The natural grasses of this county rrc the Blue stem, bunch and Buffalo varieties; the first two are good summer grasses, the latter is a fine fall and winter gnss. and e-eeiallv valuable for winter grazing. Alfalfa clover grows fine ly, and is raised quite exten sively; red eiovcr and timothy are being Kfwn and do well, as the land is longer cul tivated. Blue grass grows splendidly, and many fine lawns are now seen in Great Bend and other towns of the county. The county is therefore especially adapted to stock raising, there ahvayslwing an abund- ance of forage and water during the dryest years, and with the long pasturing season and short winters, stock raising is quite profitable. In several townships of our county creameries have been built, and in thee localities fanners are making the milk pay nicely, in connection with the raising of stock. Salt beds are found in the southern part of the county, and north of the Arkansas river a bed of rock salt of excellent quality, over one hundred feet in thickness has been tested and is found as nearly pure as any in the state; where this test was made a flowing well of salt water is constantly running out over the prairie and is quite perceptibly increasing in flow and quality, and is the only known well of the kind in the state. One of the most im portant features of our state is the public schools, and no county in the state takes more pride in her schools than Barton. Over one hundred organized districts and schools in our county. Graded schools at Great Bend and other towns of the county. The Central Normal college is located at Great Bend. This institution is but a little past two years old, and is already taking rank among the best institutions of learning of our country; it has at this time over two hundred students and is daily increasing. A large and com modious brick building of twenty-four rooms, pleasantly located, with boarding houses, rooms and con veniences for students surrounding it, makes it pleasant, healthy and in every way deserving, the patronage it has now and in the future will receive. Churches of the various denominations are well established and attended. The different business and professional interests are well represented. Four large flouring mills whose capacity is 1,000 barrels per day; machine shops, water works, street railway and other good improvements usual to cities of Kansas. The inhabitants of the county are generally native Ameri cans and Germans. Barton county stands at the front in crops of all kinds, but for want of space can only give of wheat, corn and rye; in 18S4, wheat sown, 84,518 acres; yield 2,112,9u0 bushels, being third in the, state in bushels and first in yield per acre; in 1SS0 41,127 acres, yield 740,2SG bushels, being first iu the state by 107,0SG bushels; in 18b9-S2,578 acres, yield 2,332,528 bush els, being second in the state in bushels and first in yield; in 1890 we have not less than 120,000 acres sown, and at this season has never looked better in the history of the county; corn, 1SS9, 2,000,000 bushels; rye, 250,000. Butler County. Situated in the south central portion of the state of Kansas, and thirty-fivo miles north of the Indian territory, is the county of Butler the largest county in the state being thirty-four and one-half by forty two miles in area. The soil of the county can not be excelled by that of any part of the United States. The general surface of the county is undulating, and is divided into bottom lands, second bottom, and up land or prairie. Butleris the best watered county in the state, being traversed by twenty-three running streams, fed bj-never-failing streams of the purest water, the banks being strewn with a vigorous, health growth of natural timber. The bottom lands along these streams are from one to two miles in width. The main stream is Walnut Tiver. with its twenty odd tributaries. These streams furnish excellent water-power facilities. Butler county has nearly 1,000,000 acres within her borders, sufficient for 100,000 people, yet she has but 20,000 inhabitants. Of this area, 2(50,554 acres are in cultiva tion, which leaves about 040,000 acres which remain as they came from the hand of the Maker. The productiveness of these lands can nowhere be equaled. Corn fre quently makes ninet y bushels per acre, and wheat has been known to produce fifty. Butler county, in 1S90, produced 5,449,100 bushels of corn, 1,144,S30 bushels of wheat, and had 4,730 acres of Irish potatoes, 40, 000 acres of sorghum, 270 acres of broom corn, and 13,700 acres of millet, which pro duced an estimated crop of three tons per aero. Flax grows luxuriantly. On March 1, 18S9, Butler county had on hand 393,322 bushels of old corn, 4,493 bush els of wheat, and S,711 tons of tame hay and 72,092 tons of prairie hay. The assessors for 1SSS make returns of 1.193 acres of timothy, 127 acres of orchard grass, 403 acres of clover, 402 acres of blue grass, 803 acres of other tame grasses. As a fruit country, Butler ranks A No. 1, and has 200,000 bearing fruit trees; apples, peaches, plums, and cherries are very pro lific, and grapes are specially adapted to this soil and climate. Butler county has hundreds of miles of hedges and thousands of acres of cultivated forests. As a stock country she knows no supe rior, her nutritious grassesand pure water, free from all alkali substances, place her out of reach of nil competitors. In ISSOshe had 15,318 horses. 1.7G7 mules, 09,101 cattle, 49,245 sheep, 59.OS0 swine. Value of ani mals sold in 1SSS, ?oG0,712; wool clip 1SSS, $2S4,937; cattle fed for market off of the crop of 1SS9, 30,000. Butler county has a pamilation of 20.000 people, and has 174 school houses. S.917 children of school age; employes 214 teachers, who are paid au average salary of 10.07 per mouth. Butler county has always been well governed, to the extent that as a county, she owes not one dollar of bonded indebtedness. Butler county is traversed by four great trunk line railroads, and possesses 202 miles of railway, a main line of the Atchi son. Topeka Santa Fe from Florence, ex tends through the couuty from north to south passing the towns of DeGraff. El Do rado, Augusta, Gordon, and Douglass to Galveston. The Missouri Pacific from east to west, and along the line may be found Rosalia.

The St. Louis San Francisco passes through the south half of the coun ty, fiom east to west, passing through the towns of Beaumont, Keighly, Leon, Haver hill. Augusta aud Andover to Wichita. The Santa r e road also has a branch frain ugxstn to Mulvaue, and the Frisco a branch from Beaumont, through Latham to Wiufield. Iu the religious world But ler county is fully represented. El Dorado is the county seat and has a population of 6,000. This town forms au end of a division on the Missouri Pacific road: this gives it the advantage of a niouthly pay-roll of $25,000. The town is supplied with gas. electric light and water works. Augusta, twelve miles south of El Dorado, is the next town of importance in the county it contains 2.ri00 people. Then in order comes Leon. Whitewater. Brainerd, Latham, Potwin, Towanda and Benton. BUTTERWORTH'S GAMBLING BILL. Washixgtox, March 26. The house com mittee on agriculture has authorized a favorable report with amendments on the bill introduced by Representative Butter worth defining "options" and "futures,' and imposing special taxes on dealers therein. DEALING I FUTURE M. INGALLS' A3IEXMIEXT TO THE AXTI-TIHJST BILL. He Delivers a Tart Lecture to Gen tlemen ayIio Fear Violations of the Constitution. Other Necessities than Those Originally Mentioned Included, Together with Stocks and Bonds. The Bill Sot Yet Completed The Day in the House Occupied with the Wyoming Bill A Eecess Until This Morn ingHides Put on the Free List Duty on Jute Bag ging Increased. Washington, March 20. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported a substitute for the first section of the meat inspection bill. Ordered printed. He said that the substitute was intended to meet the objections of packers and dealers in pork. On motion of Mr. Sherman the anti-trust bill was taken up and various formal amendments were made. The amendment offered yesterday by Mr. Stewart to insert the words, '"Or of the value of money by which such cost may be advanced or re duced," was agreed to, Mr. Hoar with drawing his amendment to it, which was to add the words "gold or silver."' Mr. Spooner offered an amendment for the first section, giving the courts author ity, in addition to other remedies, to issue writs of injunction prohibiting and re straining combinations from proceeding any further in the business except to wind up their affairs, and he proceeded to state the grounds upon which he offered it. Mr. Vest said that he would not say another word about the constitution. He was prepared to join the procession. It re minded him of ahuntingparty that madean agreement that the first man who com plained of a dish set before him in camp should cook for a week. One of them hap pened to kill an old crow and cooked it for mess) and every one praised it as a most delicious morsel. The farmers' alliance was cooking now, and no dish could bo placed on the senatorial table that would not be taken with a gusto that would de light a Parisian gourmand. Mr. Ingalls said that his amendment was not intended in any manner whatever to interfere with the bargain, mircnasc. sale or exchange of any products of what the parties might be possessed or of which thev miirht be the nro- ducers, or which they intended actually to deliver. It was directed against that gigantic, modern invention known as "dealing in futures," which was as nefa rious and just as disreputable as the poker table or the faro bank. In those dealings in futures there were agreements to sell of ten fifty times more than the amount of product in the market, the sole purpose being to enable those "who neither toiled or-spun," but who were "clad in purple and fared sumptuously"' every day to set tle up on the 1st ot October or the 1st of. November the differences of prices on which they had bet and the market price of the article on that day. His amendment had been met at every stage of the proceeding by the interposition of some question of order or some question of etiquette or some question of constitu tionality. The senator from Louisiana (Mr. Eustis) and other senators had ques tioned the sincerity, the good faith, the intelligence of those who oll'ered or ad- nerecl to the amendment and had desired to know if it was a sham battle or if those in favor of it were playing the part of Don Quixote, aud "the sen ator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) had in timated that the amendment was offered at the dictation of the Farmers' alliance, as if "the isle was to be frightened from its propriety," and as H senators, trembling and in a state of trepidation, had endeav ored to do that great act of justice. The people of the United States, Mr. Ingalls continued, had a reasonable degree of re spect for the constitution, but Ithey were not afraid of it. The constitution was a growth and not a manufacture, and the constitution of 1S90 (by reason of the oper ation of the will of the people who made it) was a vastly different instrument from the constitution of 17b9. Its authors would not know it. They had made it for a specific purpose, not for the object of en abling country lawyers to devise defini tions or to put obstacles and barriers to the will of the people. But the constitu tion was perpetually invoked by narrow and rigid ami ill-liberal constructionists as an inseparable oarrier against every benefit of the condition of theeople. Sen ators supporting this bill had been taunted with bad faith, with false chivalry, with fighting sham battles, because tfiey at tempted to carry into effect a pro vision which was entirely within the limits and views of the constitution, lie could not conceive of anything more humorous, more qualified to make the sides of the nation shake with derisive laughter than to have the senator from Louisiana (Mr. Eustis) and the senator from Mississippi (Mr. George) and the senator from Missouri (Mr. Vest) and their associates rise with terror on every acca sion and plead tho constitution with a simulation of terror as if the minutest abrogation of that sacred instrument would make freedom shriek. Those gentlemen had spent considerable of their time in endeavoring to destrov that constitution. What, he asked, was the secret of their new found reverence for j the constitution? Had they borne it i away m the ark of the covenant for tour years and then brought it back as it- chosen guardians? And did that j)tnnit them to taunt those who endeavored to carry out the ideas of national growth and progress with being violators of the constitution It seemed to him that iB would be a lit tle more becoming for those senators who wore scourging them and holding them up-to public castigation to remember that their view of the constitution had not been maintained by the people of the United States. There had beeu no step in national -progress in the last thirty-five .ears against which the senator from Louisiana and the senator from Missi ssippi and the senator from Missouri had not risen and declared that it was against the constitution. He recollected that there was once a great demonstration to prove that there was no power in the coustitu- .'An A.v. n .1k?M'U 4i- A I nnt nf th(k iinf rh Z, w I found it. 'J. hey nart louna it somewhere in its latent re-ources of "'nublic welfare." I blessings of liberty," or somewhere else. They had been told" that the abolition of slaverv-was without warrant in the consti tution, but it had been found, and when it j conld not lie found in the letter it was was amended by the sword. And that was a i fair warning to those who attempted to establish A-erbnl, lingual interpretations against tne vym or tne people, tuat wnen ever the elasticity, the capacity to carry out the wish and will? of" the peo ple Avas now pufficieut in the consti tution there Avould always be found a way to amend. They had been told when the reconstruction measures were up that there was no constitutional powerto re construct, they had been toht that there. wa- no constitutional jtower to make pa- per a legal tender and they bad been toW thnt there, was? no constitutional power to resume specie payments. He commended to those constmer of the consitntion the I contemplation of the result of their criti- cisims during the last thirty years, and suggested to them whether it was not barely possible for them to be mistaken in invoking the constitution against the effort to recover the burden of the monstrous and crying evil against which the bill and amendment were in tended. Mr. Vest replied to Mr. Intralls. If the results of the war, he said, were to put the entire southern people under a bane and outside the pale of constitutional obliga tion, then that senators conclusions were amenable to his criticism. Since the arbitrament of battle had decided against the southern people there had "been but one question among honorable people mid that- was whether the south had accepted the result honestlv and intended to abide by it. Mr. Ingalls asked Mr. Vet whether he believed that the constitutional position taken by the south during the war was right or wrong. Mr. Vest replied that he hnd believed then that it was right and that he accepted the result and meant honestly to abide by the construction of the constitution put upon it by the supreme court. But he did not accept as the result of the struggle all the constructions put upon the constitution by the Republican party or by the senator from Kansas. It sen ators representing southern states were to be used as announced by that senator they might as well be out of the union. Be was under an obligation to obey the con stitution but not to take tho construction put upon it by the senator from Kansas. Mr. Eustis also replied to the remarks of Mr. Ingalls. That senator had inti mated that southern senators knew noth ing about the constitution. "Oh no," said Mr. Ingalls, "you have been on both sides and ought understand it." laughter!. Continuing, Mr. Eustis said that if the senator sought to correct the niorals of the people, if he was to assume the role of censor, the archangel who looked down upon and wept over the depravity of his fellows, he (Eustis) asked the senator to leave out Louisiana. Mr. Ingalls We want to take hold of your lottery by and by. Mr. Butkr offered an amendment ex tending the provisions of the bill to stocks and bonds. Adopted. Mr. Eustis offered an amendment ex tending its provisions to cotton prints, steel, boots, shoes and lumber. Adopted. On motion of .Mr. Blair au amendment was adopted including woolen goods and whisky and all kinds of intoxicating drinks within the provisions of the bill. Motions to recommit the bill to the fi nance and judiciary committees Ave re re jected. Mr. Vest moved to increase the license for dealers in options from 100 to $1,000. Adopted on a rising vote The bill, which Had been considered all the time as in the committee of the whole, was reported to the senate where all the amendments have to be acted upon again and where other amendments may be of fered. After an executive seession the senate adjourned. WYOMING'S STATEHOOD. The House Takes a Eecess Taking any Action, Without Washington, March 20. Mr. Cannon, of Illinois, from the committee on i ules reported u resolution making the Wyoming admission bill a special order for today, a rece-s to be taken at 5:30 this afternoon until 11 o'clock tomorrow, the previous question to be considered as ordered at 1 o'clock. Tire resolution was adopted and the Wy oming bill AvastheutakeNU).V. Mr. Baker, of New York, submitted an argument in support of the measure, and Mr. Barnes, ol Georgia, opposed the bill. Mr. Carey, of Wyoming, made a strong plea for the admission of the territory. Mr. Docker, of Missouri, opposed, the bill. He saidit was nothing more or less than a partisan measure, designed to per petuate the power of tire Republican party, it (like the Idaho bill, soon to follow) should be called a bill to add three elec toral votes and two senators to the Repub lican columns in 1892. Mr. Washington, of Tennessee, attacked the woman's suffrage clause, and held that the people of Wyoming had Aiolated the provision of the act of organization limit ing suffrage to Avhite male suffrage. Women might be sent from Wyomiug to the senate. Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, thought the oppon neuts of the bill were in bad straits when they fell back for an objection upon the woman suffrage provision. Mr. Kelley, of Kansas, said he Avould not be frightened if women had seats on the lloor of the house, and perhaps it would re sult in benefit. Atanv rate thev would vote as intelligently as the male members, After further debate the house took a re cess until 11 o'clock tomorrow. WESTERN MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL Washington', March 20.

CENTRAL PASSENGER AGENTS DIS CUSS THE RATE PROBLEM. An Effort to Re-Organize the West ern States Association and Restore Rates. The Organization to Includethe Trans-Missouri Lines An Agreement Kow in Preparation. Garnett's Demand for Additional Passenger Service Heard by the State Commis sioners A Trans-Pacific Steam ship Line Projected by the Santa Pe Hews from the Eailroads. CincAtfo, 111., March 20. The central passenger agents of the roads formerly coustitutingjthe membership of the AYest ern States Passenger association met to day to consider the" question of restoring rates. The sentiment in favor of putting an end to the war proved to be unanimous, but the Chicago, Burlington Quincv refused to eutr into an agreement to ad vance rates without arrangement that would insure u rea-onabic degree of permanency for tho agreed b:isis. The question of reorganizing the West ern States Passenger iissociation was dis- 1;. movement, a committee oi live was ap pointed to consider the matter and prepare a report with recommendations to be sub mitted to an adjourned meeting to be held Friday morning. The committee was in session all the afternoon and will meet again tomorrow. It is believed the old agreement Avill be adopted with very few changes. l-REPATJE-G AX AGREEMENT. General Passenger Agent Sebastian, of the Chicago. Rock Island Pacific, in an interview with a representative of the As sociated Press tonight in reference to the pas-enger rate war said: "A committee is now at work on an agreement which will be submitted to all the lines in the terri tory covered by the Western States' Pas senger association on Friday morning and the indications are that the same will be satisfactory and in all probability rates will on that day be re stored to the regular tariff after giving the regular ten days' notice. An effort will be made at this meeting to consolidate the lines in the old Western States Passenger association territory and the present Trans Missouri association lines into one associa tion with a chairman to be elected cover ing the above territory." JUDGE CALDWELL'S BULE. He Demands that All Liabilities be Paid on Poreclosed Roads. Little Rock, Ark., March. 20. In the United States circuit court today Judge Caldwell appointed Newman Erb receiver of the Kansas City. Wyandotte North western railway. The application for a re ceiver was made Monday by the Farmers Loan and Trust company, of New York, pending the foreclosure of their mortgage. The mortgage was executed January, 1SKS. Judge Caldwell required as a condition of appointing a receiver that all the debts and liabilities of the company in cuiTcd in the construction, repair and operation of the road, including damages to property, since the execution of the mortgage should be made a charge upon the mortgaged property and paid out of the proceeds of the sale of the road, if not sooner paid by tho receiver out of the earn ings of the road or other funds provided for the purpo-e. It was further stipulated that the receiver might be sued in tho state courts and required him to appoint au agent in each county through which the road runs upon whom process against the receiver may be served. The applicants did not accept the conditions of the order until today, and so the receiver was not appointed tintil today. As circuit judge, Judge Caldwell has for many years pursued a course in railroad receiverships different from t hat practiced in other states. His orders in relation to the payment of debts contracted iu the operation of the road and suits against the receiver in state courts have been some what in advance of the practice of other courts and it would seem from the order made by the judge in this Kansas case that he is going to extend the Arkansas rule over the circuit. A GLUTTED MARKET. The Eeason Baltimorean3 Assign for the Low Prices of Products. Baltimore, Md., March 26. Messrs. Bragg and Schoonmaker, of the interstate commerce commission, today took the tes timony of a numlier of the members of the corn and Hour exchange relative to the cause of low prices of food products in the west. The examination was by authority of an art of the Uuited States senate oil complaint from western producers who claimed that the rates of transportation were too high. Ex-President Mueller, of the excliange, said that freight rates had nothing to do witn low prices. j ne corn crop last, vr was unnsnallv Inr-e and there lul I i .7. Zn. .ZT been an advance in ocean rates on account of scarcity on tonnage. In i answer to the question concerning eleva tor charges, he said they were uniform. He said that corn raised along the Danube could ne bought cheaper than in New York or Baltimore. John L. Rogers said the depression in prices was due to the large crop;. "When crops are short prices go up. "VA hen offer ings are too large prices go down. Tbe drift of the testimony was that freight rates were as low ag could be main tained by the railroad? and that the fall ing off in prices resulted from too much grain. A STEAMSHIP LINE CONTEMPLATED.

Special Dfc.pai;h to tfae Dally EaRle. Stillwateh, Ok., March -X. A detach ment of the troops sent in to clear the strip are in camp on Black Bear creek, twelve miles north of this city. Most of the boomers left previous to their arrival, coming south to Stillwater. They have establi-hed camps here Avithin three miles of the line and propose to "fight it out if it takes all summer." Those avIio remain are being ejected by the soldiers and their improvements destroyed. Five years ago the present site of Stillwater was" a boomer camp, or rather village. It was established by Captain Couch, at the head of about 300 boomers, the remnant of Captain Payne's lwnd. Troops under the com mand of Lieutenant Hatch, after a six weeks' sietre captured the entire outtit, burned their cabins and escorted them out of the territorv. Oklahoma today is pub lic domain, and on the site of Couch's old village stands a town of l.OuO imputation, with churches, schools, banks, news papers and other appendages of an advanced civilization, while twelve miles northward the same old battle is be ing waged in tho Pan Handle of the Cher okee strip. The present "seat of war" is on the Black Bear valley which runs through the township of the strip adjacent to Stillwater on the north. It i- the finest portion of the Black Bear valley ami pre vious to the supposed opening thousands of liconiers had congregated aloug the line on this side. Within two hours alter the receipt of the telegram there was not a va cant acre within three miles of the creek on either side. School land was taken with the rest. Claims actually sohl on the 14th at -$T0 to S300. Timber was plenty aud before the belated news of tlie- mistake reached the unfortunate settlers many cabins had been erected. These are being burnt. No resistance, as far as your cor respondent can learn, is being offered by the boomers. Cowbovs just in from the ranches say that so far as they can learn no stock has been shot or burned by the settlers as reported. The disposition 6f tlie boomers seems to be to settle in camp here and await the imal opeumg. .Many, how ever, express their intentu soon as the troops are removed. A LIVELY EKE:.

You cannot be, permit us to say, unless you are accompanied with the traveler's and tourist's vade mecum, Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters, most genial of appetizers, acclimatizers and promoters of digestion.

It reaches to the ground and is beautifully hemstitched; the collar is a broad one crfc in sailor fashion and thrown back far enough to expose the neck very well. The sleeves are full and have deep cuffs, and on the left side is a pocket in which is stuck a white silk handkerchief with a monogram in mauve on it. The cuffs are of mauve silk caught with white sleeve links, and the collar is also of the colored silk. A soft white silk tie is knotted in front in sailer fashion. The liaberdasher announces that this is per fumed so thoroughly with violet that even two or three visits to the cleaner's will not dispel the odor. A more femi nine looking robe de nuit is of pale roso silk, with its collar and cuffs edged with lace, and a cravat of lawn and lace, such us the gentlemen of the com t of Louis Quatorze wore.

New York Letter in Philadelphia Times. Authors and Poor Writiiij'. I wonder if authors have any idea of the decided advantage it is to a manu script to have it clearly written or by the typewriter? Again and again have I had a manuscript lying on my table for a month or two, putting off its reading from day to day because of the poor writing. If authors had any conception of the value of clean manuscript to edi tors, they would be far more careful how they send their wares to the editorial office than they are. Take this manuscript, for example: the author's name is a guarantee that there is something good in it. Yet, look at that chirography. I dread taking it up. It is positive torture. I am patient with her, because I feel a personal interest in her literary welfare. Yet I know of two posi tive instances where her manuscripts have been returned by editors who ac knowledged to me afterward that they had not read them. Now, that woman is inflicting injury upon herself. I tell you, there is nothing which makes me moro prejudiced against a manuscript than illegible writing. Interview in New York Commercial Advertiser. Delicacy of Pianos. The other day I saw a piano that had been returned from a city nearly 800 miles away because ''something rattled in it,'' and the dealer, who had spent three days in trying to find the cause of the difficulty finally attributing it to a defect in the sounding beard returned it. Now there was nothing wrong about the sounding hoard, and the piano was in good condition, but had been hurried ly shipped, and a screw in the swing desk attachment was not firmly imbed ded. This caused the rattle. Now it is just this kind of a trivial oversight that causes more than 50 per cent, of the trouble known as rattling. I remember about two months ago in a place in Baltimore an upright piano had to be taken back and taken apart and a day spent over it to stop such a disturb ance, which was caused by nothing more than a small piece of shaving about a quarter of an inch long that got in under the pressure bar. It could not be seen and to find it cost a lot of money. Musi cal Courier. HoricnV Tata! G3. Certain years in the life of man have oeen, from great antiquity, supposed to have a peculiar importance, and to be liable to singular vicissitudes in his health and fortunes. Where or how this belief originated is unknown, but it is supposed to have been founded on the teachings of Pythagoras. The well known notice of tho climacteric year 63 sup posed to be particularly dangerous to men of that age, in a letter of Augustus Qasar, evinces its prevalence among the Romans. Some astrological writers have called the sixty-third year man's "hori cus," because of a mythical notion that it was or is fatal to great men. The sole cause of its blighting influence is supposed to revert to the fact that it ig a multiple of the 7 and 9, both of which are mystical numbers. It is a remarka ble fact that all nations attach particular importance to 7 or any multiple of that figure. Thus at 14. twice seven, the male ami female are supposed to hare arrived at puberty: at 21, three sevens, the male becomes 'of age," while many writers, Aristotle in particular, fix 95, five seven, as the height of bodily vigor and a the year of maximum mental activity. At the age of 63, when man Is nine times seven rears of age, the most trivial dis eases are likely to cause the death of the mobt robbst old man, while the ten sev ens (79) hare been ascribed a the limit of his earthly career. Sc Louis Republic. The Commercial Value of a Hold Head. It is no doubt very much to the ad vantage of a young practitioner to ex hibit a "modern antique" appearance, and nothing contributes so greatly to this end as a head which is innocent of hair. There is a real commercial value in a bald head, and this value is by no means confined to the medical profession. Whatever advantages, however, it may confer on a "business young man,' to a medical man a fair estimate under favor able circumstances would be, at the lowest, five hundred a year. Medical Press and Circular. A Professor's mistake. For the foreigner who attempts enter ing society in America, the way is beset with many obstacles, especially in the choice of proper words to express the meaning to be conveyed. Professor Men del had been in this country but a few few week3 when it fell to his good for tune to be invited to one of the first homes of Philadelphia, a prominent attraction of which was several dark haired, black eyed, and withal very stylish daughters. A most delightful evening was passed in the society of the ladies, and in the en joyment of a bountiful lunch prepared in honor of the distinguished visitor. At the proper hour the professor an nounced that the time had arrived for liis departure, and in his leave taking, in hii most gallant manner.he thanked the host ess for the very pleasurable evening h had passed in her "homely home" and in the company of her "homely daughters." The coolness that existed between the pro fessor and his generous hostess and hei daughters was never fully dispelled un til lis explained that in Germany "home ly" signified "hospitable," and certainly none could have been more hospitable than she and her hospitable daughters. Philadelphia Times. Tiger Stories. Lady Dufferin, in her book, "Our Vice regal Life in India," tells of a tiger which in nine months killed twenty-three men. The whole neighborhood entreated an English sportsman, who happened to be in the vicinity, to kill the terrible man eater. The sportsman spent twenty -four hours in a cage, built so that the sports man within may shoot at the tiger through the bars, and yet be protected from his attack. A companion joined him after he had been twelve hours in the cage, and they both watched twelve hours more, but no tiger appeared. Then the two men went to sleep. When thoy woke they found the tiger had walked round the cage, for his footprints were plainly to be seen through the bars. This same sportsman hunted one day for a tiger, in a jungle so thick that he could see nothing. But ho felt sure that a tiger was close to him all the time. At last he made his men examine the ground, and they found tracks which disclosed that the tiger had been following tiicm all day. Youth's Companion. J. L. Toole, thaEnglish comedian, dropping In at the Garrick club one evening, found Heury Irving devouring a Welsh rarebit. Gazing a b'ief space at the rarebit, he shook Lauds with Irving and said solemnly: "Give my love to dear old Charles Matthews." Then he turned and walked away. Matthews had been dead three years.

St. Louis Hepub lie. Hr Preference. The fondness of Phillips Erooks, of Boston, the distinguished rector of Trin ity church, for little children is well known. Not very long ago Dr. Brooks was calling on a friend in Cambridge, who is the happy mother of three chil dren two boys and a little girl. Br. Brooks soon had all three of the little folk about him and was questioning them in regard to their views of an occupation when they should be "grown up." One boy would be an architect, he said, and plan Queen Anne lwuses; the other thought he would be a poet, like his late distinguished grandfather. "And what would you wish to be, my dear?" said the clergyman to the little 4-year-old daughter of the house.

John "Wilson. A JLesson from the Haby. Man, as he comes into the world, pre sents a condition it would be well for him to follow in all his after life. The sweetest minstrel ever sent out of para dise cannot sing a newborn child to sleep on an empty stomach. We have known reckless nurses to give the little ones a dose of paregoric or soothing syrup in place of its cup of milk, when it wa3 too much trouble to get the latter, but this is the one alternative. The little stomach of the sleeping child, as it becomes gradually empty, folds on it- self in plaits; two of these make it rest less; three will open its eyes, but by care ful soothing these may be closed agaia; four plaits and the charm is broken; there is no more sleep in that household until that child has been fed. It seems to us so strange that with this example before their eyes full grown men are so slow to learn the lesson. American An- alvst. i I The Literary Standard in America. We say in all seriousness, that in thin new country, drunk with prosperity and besotted as it is with material ideals, the literary standard is as high as ever it was1 in the world; and that the literary per formance is of an excellence which i3 only not conspiouous because it is so general. If any one doubts it, let him compare an average piece of fiction in The Atlantic Monthly, or The Century, or Scribner's, or Harper's with an aver age piece of fiction in Blackwood's or Frazer's, or Tinsely's of fifty years ago; or an average essay in one of our period icals with an average essay of the best English time; or an average poem of our day with an average poem of the "splendid and unsurpassed literature of the past;" or an average review in the Sunday papers with the "really capablo criticism" of the heyday of English re viewing.

"I'm ni-o-o-v-i-n-g," drawled Mark, at the same time opening tho cigar box, disclosing a pair of blue socks, a pipe and two paper col lars. He had never cared for the ladies, was, in fact, a fish out of water when he hap pened to be near them.

Boston Transcript. About Cold and not Air. A good many people are afraid of cold air, especially at night, shutting them selves in close bedrooms, where their systems are poisoned and their constitu tions gradually undermined by breathing the bad air. And even hot or warm air j that is pure, air in a room that has venti lation as well as heat, is debilitating where breathed all night. Pulmonary I complaints are inevitably and exclusive ly caused by foul indoor air, and cured by pure, especially by cold, pure, outdoor air. The remedial influence of fresh air is so much increased by a low tempera ture that "colds" are, in fact, far moro curable in midwinter than in midsum mer. Herald of Health. A Useful Present. Dr. S.

The weakness was attributed to the fine weather bulletin, but more particularly to the dull and heavy feeling reported in the European markets. Corn Was traded in to a moderate ex tent and the feeling developed was a little easier, transactions being at slightly lower prices. The easier tone was attributed al most entirely to the decline in wheat. Oats Were moderately active and steady early, April closed weak and a shade lower.

Take half a bushel of best nnslacked lime, slack it in boiling water and cover it during tho process to keep in tho steam. Strain the liquid through a fino sieve or strainer and add to it a pect of salt previously dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled to a thin paste, one-half pound of powdered Spanish whiting and one pound of clear glue dissolved in warm water. Add hot water to the mixture to reduco it to the proper consistency and Jet it stand cov ered up: when used apply as hot as pos sible with a paint or whitewash brush. A cheaper wash for outside work may be made by slacking half a bushel of lime in a barrel; add a pound of salt, half a pound of sulphate of zinc and a gallon of sweet milk. Cause of Rust ia Grain. After a thorough investigation as to the cause of rust in wheat and other grains, tho Guelph (Ont.) Agricultural college uas arrived at the lollowmg con clusions: 1. Seasons are the chief cause of rust; sudden changes of temperature and rain, accompanied by close, still weather, are favorable to its increase. 2. Low lying, rich soils are most subject to attack. 3. An excessive use of manures rich in ni trogen encourages the disease. 4. Late i sown grain is most subject to attack. 5. i Thinly sovn crops seem most liable to in-1 jury. 6. Red wheats are less affected man wmte varieties. tinsi is more common in the vicinity of barberry hedges than it is at a greater distance. Airlculturnl Xotes. As no two animals are alike, it is wise to consult their special appetites and de sires when feeding them. Hay for horses ought to be of the best quality; It should never be overripe. The clematis is a favorite climber with everybody who has grown it. The general opinion is that cows im prove until they are seven or eight years old. It pays to take good care of the heifers. In four foot rows it wiil take aboui 3,000 asparagus plants to the acre. j Individual peculiarities of form havt j much to do with the amount cf waste in animals, and the flavor of meat is great ly dependent upon what the animal has j been led. Always hatch eggs from healthy fowls, ggs of fair size. Tf your pullets do nc lay they art probably too fat; feed less grain.

mmwaarawp 4 S&e Midtita gaily f&ujfc: glnu'stlaxj poruiucf, ptarx;Ir 27, 1890. "pg,aray-gT b 31. 31. MCKDOCK, Kdltoiv Massachusetts thinks of raising the salary of its governor from -1,000 to 58,000. The Oklahoma papers are emphatic in their preference for an Oklahoma man for governor of their new territory. The alacrity with which all the Bis marcks resign is only equalled ly the quickness with which King William accepts the resignations. The world's fair as it stands now is to celebrate the 'quadri-centennial and one' of the discovery of America. It will be held in Chicago in 1893 maybe. The state board of charities claims that a saving of about $10,000 has been af fected by the beef contracts as awarded, and on account of wliich it was severely criticised at the time. Those fellows and scalawags in gen eral who wish to go to Canada and stay there whether the government will or no have just one week to do it in. The ex tradition treat' goes into effect April fourth. Alphonse Daudet and Prince Bismarck have smoked more tobacco than any other two men in Europe, and Alphonse is a bigger man than all the forty Im mortelles and Bismarck is greater than any man in Prussia. TImj April number of the New England Magazine will contain an article on Gladstone, by William Clarke. The fiontispiece is given to a striking por trait of "The Grand Old Man," from a recent London photograph. As indicative of how very dead the re submission sentiment is, we note, from the Leavenworth Sun, that in that city, where issue was made in the Republican primaries the anti's secured the over whelming majority of live votes. The London tailors arc said to be the most wretched of artisans of the metrop olis. Poorly fed, poorly clad aiul poorly lodged, their condition is pitiable. Last Sunday they addressed, an appeal to tho queen. It relates the awful miseries of their existence. The conscience fund at Washington lias been enriched by an addition of $1,500 from :i stricken patient. It is lamentable that such an arrangement is not provided for in municipalities if the absence of conscience in the modern Alderman did not eliminate the possibil ity of audi a thing. The Voice, :t Prohibition organ pub libhcdjfn New York, tells how it expects to conduct tho Prohibition campaign in Nebraska. People in Nebraska perhaps know more aliout the laws they want to govern them than a publishing house in New York city wluch is printing a Pro hibition paper for what there may be in it. Who has not been interested in the unique position which Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed has recently taken in national politics? Would you liko to see an excellent picture of him and also of his birthplace- and residence. These arc given with a very readable article on tho t-ubject in tho New England Magazine for April. Times must be close down in New England. Tho Northampton Gazette says never in recent years was there such complaint in that city of dull times in trade. And yet no one can account for it. With now and then an exception the merchants say trade is small. Peo are not buying as much groceries, lothes, meat, or gratifying as many more esthetic wants. Mansfield, O., joins Boston in recom mending riding in electric street cars as a cure for rheumatism. The faith in the a irtuc of this novel euro is growing, and ;is suirerers become more sanguine of its worth Wichita's far reaching electric hues with their comfortably upholstered cars should not be overlooked. Tho Iximiiful lawns with flower beds figured iancifully into graceful lozenges and squares that abound in this city would furnish sufficient divertisoment and pleasure to the eye of the rheumatic to forget his pains without the aid of tho proximity of an electric current. Tlie Railway Age remarks that "elec tric street railways continue to multiply iomarkably."'aiuJ gives tho number of t heae roads in ojieration in the United States as over one hundred, with numer ous other lines under construction. The Age alto says Uiat a great majority of the lines thus far constructed use" the o erhead wire system. The application of electricity to this purpose, however, i- but in thaJnceptive state, so to speak. There is little doubt that it will be devel ojhhI in the A-ery near future to the ex tut that the wire will bo entirely dis Iensed with, the storage system taking its place. Tlie predictions as to weather for "March, distressing as they were to the uppreheusive. have been fully verified in many parts of the country. But in the Happy Valley of the Great .Arkansas tlie weather for the month thus far lias been almost phenomenal in its mildness, both to temperature ami absence of wind. With the exception of two or three days tlie weather lias been remarkably calm, idle the mean temperature has been nbove tlie average. For equableness of i lunate and freedom from severe atmos pheric disturbances the botttheru portion h Kansas is not excelled if equalled cm the continent. If ono of the leading railroad corpora lions o&the east undertakes to test the constitutionality of the interstate com merce law, as indicated in yesterdavs dispatches, tlie issue can be brought to a definite, conclusion in short orderi if it is nreseed. But there is a wide-spread sus picion that tlie railroads secretlv favored the. enactment of tlie law, although they r-jvnly opposed it, in tlie first instance. If this suspicion was well founded, it is learthat the law lias been disappoint ing to them in some particulars. In any r ent the public are not onlr willing but :-sitxm6 tint the law be repealed. wheUier decided constitutional or not. As Car as its practical effects upon the mmercial interest are concerned it has proved to be a dolugiou ft seat. WHAT IS A COMBINE? The Wholesale Haul, the Eetail Haul, Congress and the Alliance. There are combines and combines, but what is bothering congress just now is to decide what is the difference between a combine called an alliance and a com bine called a sugar trust; a combine of laboring men to raise wages and a com bine of manufacturers to keep them down. These questions involve nice dis criminations and must be settled before congress can pass a law that will reach the one and not the other and at the same time not come under the head of special legislation such as would com pel the courts to declare the law null and void. If the unions, alliances and other so cieties would keep this problem before them in the discussion and passage of resolutions at all times there woidd not be so many blunders, and less silly non sense and misunderstandings sent out to the world to be published. They should aim at such combines of capital as extort pay for and dividends on values that never existed outside of a printed certifi cate or a board quotation. When an al liance or union aims its shafts at other branches of labor, or at any honest in dustry they simply strike themselves, which very thing has been done several times of late in Kansas alliances, as will be seen by references to these columns. Congress itself went into a combine called the "Inter-state railway law,' which was for the avowed purpose of killing competition between railroads at great natural business centers, and to force railroads to serve the small shipper at the same rate as the great shipper; the little town at the same price as the great and natural business center. Tlie law killed tho competition between the roads on the long haul, and knocked the prin ciple which recognizes the necessity of "wholesaler and retailer," higher than, a kite, but it resulted in enforcing a com bine among railroads to the detriment of the commerce of the country, and which has burthened rather than relieved the producer and all other shippers, and not benefitted the railroad owners. To illus trate If four railroads, reaching from New York to Wichita, under the old law, should through their competition run freight between the two places down to the smallest possible minimum rate at which it could bo done on such a whole sale haul, every dealer and every consu mer that could reach Wichita would be benefitted and unquestionably. But the law of congress which attempted to elim inate the "retail feature" or "mid dleman feature" of commerce, and to make all freight-rates at wholesale prices simply did tlie opposite thing, that is, killed the whole sale haul and the competing haul and forced the railroads into a combine to maintain the costly and unnatural equi librium between the long and the short haul. So when an alliance demands that tho manufacturer shall sell to the alliance direct, the alliance upon the other hand must agree to take care of the manu facturer's trade as it is taken care of by tlie wholesaler and by the retailer, or otherwise the alliance demands a foolish thing and an unreasonable tiling. WHAT IT MEANS. The Troy Chief recently took occasion to combat the proposition that Mexican silver-lead fluxing ores should remain ou the free list, arguing on the standpoint of protection for protection's sake, which he seems to conceive to be the party's posi tion, but which could hardly be farther from the fact, and this makes the Chief's position all the more surprising. Tlie Kansas City Gazette took up the Chiefs article (it has had but one in which tho subject was discussed at length) and in a comprehensive review of the matter, to our mind fully answered and thor oughly exploded the Chief's theoretical presentation of the case and its applica tion of the principle involved in it. Fol lowing is a resume of the Gazette's re joinder, which seems to embrace all that need be said on tho subject as it com prehends the gist of the whole matter: Reciprocity with Mexico would be of incalculable advantage. We have state ments from American residents, railroad officials in Mexico and from Minister Ryan, showing the great damage to American trade resulting from the action of our government last fall in restricting tins ore business so that its importation was reduced one-half. The English and Germans are working into that country at our expense. 3Ir. Blaine's great scheme is for reciprocity with all the countries on the western hemisphere. A few days ago, in the Pan-American cougress. complaint was made that the United States tariff on articles from South American countries was unjust and detrimental. A United States mem ber responded tliat about 5?t per cent, of the imports came in free, and he hoped that tlie other 14 per cent, would lie soou knocked off. He didn't seem to le frightened bv Prof. Canneld or Ed. Rus sell. But Mexican silver ores never paid a tariff: they always came in free. Kan sas can be lieneiited by reciprocity with. Mexico, because she is tlie nearest corn field. The last emergency rate fiasco shows that tlie ore that is farthest off gets tlie least consequently, Kansas being tlie nearest to this market wiU get the most. This agitation of reciprocitv with Mexico will in a short time redound greatly to the benefit of Kansas. Come. Solomon, be a protectionist and help your own. Nevermind tlie silver barons of Nevada and Colorado. You look out for Kansas. A NSW MONETARY SCI In another column will be seen tlie outline of a plan for the reorganization of tlie the national system of finance that lias been introduced in the senate and ordered printed. The scheme is a stu pendous one. but as the author very aptly says it is not one whit above the magnitude of the nation and the inter ests involved. That there is merit in the plan is shown by the action of the senate in ordering it put in shape for considera tion. It 1ms Iwen patent to everybody for some time that the government will be compelled to make some change in ite monetary system before many years and aittunberof phuts tares heretofore been proposed, to bo dismissed as impractical after more or less discussion. The new scheme now before the senate while -voluminous and apparently somewhat complicated, is yet carefully detailed and made quite cempreliensive as av.-hole, and will donbtless afford a basis for the change tliat must take place ere long if it is not adopsed as drafted. Tlie author of this new plan is Mr. Samuel Shy, of this city, at one time and for several years the law partner of Cas sias M. Clay; the noted Kentucky com moner: he has devoted much time "to formulating, revising and perfecting it, and he is thoroughly convinced that it is just what the government wants and what tlie people will demand when once its provisions are understood. The subject is certainly one of the very .first im portance. As was naturally to be expected, the Cherokees have taken advantage of the action of the government in expelling intending settlers from the Cherokee strip, to re-assert their claims upon the said lands and renew and enlarge their demands upon the government precedent to any settlement of the diluted cm ner ship of the strip. The principal object they have in thus attempting to compli cate matters seems to be to secure delay. What they hope to gain by such dallying is not clear; in fact there is nothing to be gained by them in the final outcome if they should succeed in deferring a settle ment of the matter, for it will be made on the basis of right and justice whether effected now or postponed for years. The sooner it is settled the better for the In dians, because they can never receive any benefit from the land by simply holding a hollow claim upon it, while the price the government may pay them will be of substantial benefit from the date of settlement. The American In dian is a queer bird. The real work of census enumeration will begin June 1, the time allowed by law in which to complete the enumera tion being fifteen days for the towns and cities and thirty days for the country district'?. The collection of the statistics of population will be completed by June '30, and if Mr. Porter's lightning calcula tors work as fast as he promises, the principal results will be known not later than August 1. MORE ALLIANCE RESOLUTIONS. To the Editor of the Eagle. Will you please to publish in your pa per the following resolutions adopted by the Oatville Union No. 900: Whereas Tt has come to our knowledge that a combination has been formed be tween some of the manufacturers and wholesale dealers in agricultural imple ments not to sell direct to the Farmers' Alliance, but compel them to buy of the retail dealers, thereby greatly increasing cost of same to the only consumers of such implements: we therefore Resolve, That we consider such action unjust and arbitrary, and deserving the jut censure of all fair-minded people, and be it further Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to not purchase any implements of companies in the combine, and that we use our influ ence, individually and collectively, to keep others from buying of the combine. Resolved. That Ave pledge ourselves to buy and aid with our influence such com panies as will sell direct to the consumers without intervention of agents or middle men.

PLAN FOR A UNITED STATES BANK. With a Branch In Each Congressional District. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat. Washington, March 23. Samuel Shy, of Wichita, Kan., has submitted to tlie senate his financial scheme. He pro poses the establishment of "The People's Bank of the United States of North America." This institution is to be the remedy of the present depression in Kan sas and elsewhere. The chief officers of tlie bank will be located in Washington and each congressional district will have a branch bank, with its local lxxird of eleven directors elected by the people. Mr. Shys submit his bill, and with it he sends a memorial '"to the Hon. Levi P. Zvlorton, vice president, and senators of the United States." He says the time has come to substi tute something for the old stockholder system. His plan he describes as 'a complete change from individuals to the great governing power, the people,"' and he hopes that it will ''answer tlie pur poses of its creation and last as long as the government lasts." Mr. Shy is rather a taking financier.. He says: "It is the nature of man to' take care of himself, and especially those who deal largely in money. These select few take the shares of stock, manage the cor porations to suit themselves and will con trol the accommodations. This class is getting so strong and rich that they can produce a panic at any time and visit ruin upon innocent people, and especially on the medium and laboring class. They can prevent the poor from improving and bring them, against their will, by mere force of circumstances to labor for them to obtatn bread. I don't wish to pursue this subject any further except to say the bank I propose will be too strong to have its circulation cornered or inter fered with. Many years ago I liad come to the conclusion that a chanrre must take place in our monetary corporations. I remember the bank of the United States well and the panic of 1837. This was a tearful tune. Lreneral Jackson was right. The bank was not the peo ple's bank and it had to go. 'The ideas I present in the charter are huge and gigantic, and may bewilder the judgment at the first presentation; but take time. Go slow. Just think of the wealth of these United States $64, ."552,000,000 and then think of the popu lation, 03,000,000 and increasing fear fully. Go back now and think of the war debt at its highest, near, if not quite, 3,000,000,000. I heard a most estimable gentleman, a senator from Kentucky, say it could never be paid. Well, it looked so, and thousands of peoplo thought so, but old Thad and Gen. Grant did not think so, and many others, noble men in the congress of the United States at this, the most trying time of our his toiy. The revenue laws were made larger and larger, tmtil a point was reached when "they were thought suffi cient, and the great mass of tins circula tion of many kinds disappeared and the people began to breathe easier. Thespecie payments were thought of. and Grant urged it on and the law was enacted. What a glorious people we are now, buying up this monster debt and paying a premium therefor. I come now with a monetary system to be created and governed by the people and for the peo ple. It is gigantic in all its proportions. It will take $4:5,000.000 to start properly and in full preparation, wliich sum in cludes salaries. Refer this matter to a .select committee of five, and let them ex amine it and stud- it, aud if they find the tipulations worthy, have the char ter printed just as it is. Don't attempt any amendment or any further consider ation than to have a sufficient number printed for the use of the people and let them consider it until the election of a new congress. Then tlie people can nom inate candidates for and against and dis cuss tlie question thoroughly. There are forty-two sections j ir.. IU -HI. Sli's bill. Four of them are devoted to tho specification of very severe penalties for embezzling. coun terfeiting or wrecking offenses in connection with any of these branch banks. Nothing less than five years at hard labor is provided, and for wrecking one of these banks the penalty is hard labor for life. Referring to this feature of the scheme, Mr. Shy says the burglars, robbers, thieves, embezzlers and wreckers of moneyed institutions are so numerous and strong as to require the strong arm of the general government to arrest them in their villain' and to safnly keep the moneys, gold and silver bullion, gold and silver coin and other valuables kept in said bank and branch banks. Individ ual or private enterprise is not strong enough. Tlie capital of this great institution is to be limited lo an amount equal to ."50 for each man. woman and child of the population of the United States. Tlie bank will Ik? officered by a president with a salary of 10,000; forty -one state directors- at salaries of b.000; &0 congressional dis crict presidents at 0.000; 1.930 district directors at 4,000. "The laboring classes and men of moderate means,"' says one section of the bill, "shall have the preference in accommodations according to their ability to pay, making their aper per fectly good by collaterals or personal surety."' This remarkable plan was presented to the senate by Senator Sherman. The senate has thought sufficiently well of it to ordr both tlie bill and Mr. Shy's argument to be printed. After all it goes only a little beyond Senator Stan ford's plan to loan out government money to the people. RE-REBUTTAL BY RESUBMISSION REPUBLICANS. To tlie answer made by the Topeka Capital for the demand for another vote on prohibition tlie Resubmission club makes a further reply, which was trans mitted to tliat paper for iU this morn ings issue, a copy of which whs fur nished tlie Eagle, and which is as follows: Wichita. Kan.. March 20, 1880. To th Editor Toprka pitL We did not anticipate the necessity of addressing you a second letter upon tlie subject which called out tne first. I Your reolv indicatps that vour surround- incs have not snffk-ientlv 'iimresed voa with the importance of the subject to prompt you to give it the consideration vou otherwf would. We do not subscribe to the doctrine that anything k fair in politics. We be lieve that candor, fairness and honesty are as essential in politics as in busineae. Resubmission means anti-prohibition, and nothing less. We regard our posi tion as invulnerable, and eeorn all sub terfuge, evasion or pretense. Both reason nd experience teach us that utoraan schemes for the reformation of mankind bv legislative enactments miM ever end in disappointment. Pro hibition is no exception to the rule, as is daily exemplified by its wockiuss ia this commonwealth. It is wrong in prmcv pie and pernicious in its effects. It b iteelf the worst ptHsible form of intem perance. It the creator and .ustamer of the "joini." the 4boot kggew' and the pernicious "lunch rooms, and productive of more drunkenness than any and aO other cfMtEee comhined. Xo scheme erer devised by man for the ac comp&hmenc of av prpote ha nronwd so nttettj futile. Tie effect hat hies to increase the number of drinking places and to lower their character. Where one open saloon existed before, two secret saloons exist now. Where one in dividual kept liquors at his home before, a dozen do now. Where a man took a single glass before, he takes several glasses now. In your reply we find the following sentence: "In Kansas today the prohibi tion law is as well enforced as any other law on tlie statute book." This is mich a glaring, outrageous and inexcusable falsehood that we cannot for a moment attribute it to you. How it could find a place in your "reply is beyond our com prehension. It is refreshing to be told that the friends of prohibition never expected ab solute perfection from it Their disap pointment then will not be so great when it is discarded. We are pleased to note tlie philosophy with which they will contemplate the repeal of the prohibitory amendment and that they are adapting themselves to the inevitable with such commendable alacrity. One among the many evil arising from prohibition is its debasing effect upon men in politics. Even in tlie halls of congress this effect is so apparent as to enable "an observer to single out- a mem ber representing a prohibition con stituency. His political life depends upon his skill in the roll of "an artful dodger." "Whither would you rather, or, rather would you whither?" is the question he is ever trying to solve. Statesmanship,-manhood, self respect, all, are required to be sacrificed at the behest of the most exacting aud illiberal fanaticism that has dominated since the days of witchcraft. Nearly every politician in Kansas roosts high up on the political fence. The tiling that exercises his mental faculties most is to determine which side he ought, for his own advantage, to get down on. Just now the average poli tician is roosting at a very giddy height. Innovation he fears as he would a pesti lence. He never sat on so soft a cushion nor drew so comfortable a salary before. His dinjrv law office in his dull little county seat, where he barely made the ends meet, has no attractions for him now. He much prefers to stay where he is. This is the secret of his opposition to resubmission. What is known as the "old crowd"' also prefer to have matters remain in statu quo for a similar reason. You ask, "What is it you want of the people ot Kansas:1 It is the people you address. Back of us stands a majority of tlie people of Kansas. They speak to you through us; they demand at your hands of those who, for the time being are in office, and conse quently have control of affairs, that tlie Republicans of Kansas shall put them selves in harmony with the Republican party. Good politics will require the Republican party in Kansas to discard prohibition. Party ties never rested so lightly upon the Kansas voter as now. He is learning his power; slight provoca tion will prompt him to "take the bit" and smash the machine. It is our deliberate judgment that un less an extra session of the legislature is called, aud this question got out of poli tics, that crushing disaster will be the re sult.

A PLOT TO SECURE $10,000 THAT WAS FINALLY EXPOSED- The Secret of Earns Itappearance Alter Ho Had Been Mourned For Jby His Best Girl The Doctor and Matilda Overshoot the Mark. About eight years ago a man living in Pecatonica, Ills., who may ba called Burns for short, insured his life in the Provident Savings Life Assurance com pany of New York for 6,000. He made the policy payable to a young lady for whom he had developed a singular de gree of fondness, but had never married. Shortly afterward he took out an addi tional 4,000 policy in another company, and proceeded thereafter about his regu lar business. He was in good health and one day in December he went to the river for a "season of skating, declining any company. He went skimming over the smooth surface of the river tillho reached a point three miles from town, where ho passed a group of men loading wood, shouted a greeting to them, and passed out of sight. They recognized him, and remarked on his grace as a skater, but they never saw him again. A CLEAR CASE. Burns never came back to town. His Pecatonica friends never saw him again and his loss was mourned bitterly. In a day or two a group of boys came up from the country along the river, four miles from town, and said they saw a man whose description answered that of Burns come skating toward them the morning of his disappearance while they were at tending to some muskrat traps; that he was performing some marvelous gyra tions and that ho suddenly disappeared in an opening in the ice. Burns' friends found the marks of his skates from the very point where he had put them on down to within 200 yards of where the youthful trappers had treed a muskrat. Here they found a hole about ten feet across, formed by a spring, which pre vented the water from freezing. The 6kate marks led to the very edge of the hole, and there were lost. It looked like accidental death, and Miss Matilda, the charming beneficiary under the policies of life insurance, asked that the money be paid her. But until the body was produced and identification fixed beyond a doubt the soulless corpor ation declined to contribute. Along in April tho ice was well out of the river, and tho bed was dragged for the body of Burns. The body of a man was found some distance down the river. He had on Burns' clothes. Burns' skates were on his feet, and in one of the pockets was found Burns' open faced watch. The identification seemed complete. But chief among those who examined and identified the body was Dr. Pills, who had passed upon Burns' application for insurance. He seemed exceedingly interested in tho case, making many trips to Pecatonica and comforting Ma tilda by almost daily visits. He cheered her so effectually that on the Fourth of July they were married, and the girl laid aside her weeds tho day she was wed. For some reason the company still ob jected to paying the insurance money, and suit was brought to compel them. They found Burns had made a will by which the doctor inherited ail his little worldly wealth, and this, with some other farts, still induced them to ques tion tho validity of tho claim. The case did not como to trial until tho following winter, and then tho defendants' attor ney asked for an adjournment until the following day. "Was he goiug to offer a compromise? Next morning tho court room was filled and every one was on tiptoe to see how much of tho $10,000 Matilda secur ed. Bill Evans, a barber, was placed in the witness chair by the defense. Were you acquainted witli John Burns?" he was asked. 'I was," he replied. &k "Is ho living?" aK39fe&' "Ho is.-' ""-"JHwaifc "How do you kuowj-" "Because I am looking right at him now!'' WHY BURNS TURNED UP. All eves followed the barber's keen glance. Judge, jury, lawyers, witnesses, every boy rose up and gazed in horrified interest at an apparition near the door. Thero stood John Burns sound and well. The barber was discharged and ho took the stand. His identification was in stantaneous, complete, uuquestioned. Even Matilda broke down and wept, though something more than joy at see ing him may have moved her. The doc tor grew whit" and red and white again, then fainted outright. Burns told his story. He and the girl and tho doctor formed the bchenio to get 10,000 from tho insurance companies. Ho was young and careless, and willing to take trome risks. The doctor was to take $2,000, tho girl $2,000, and ho was to havo the balance. Then he was to marry Matilda, and with her leave the country. He passed the wood haulers on the ice, and almost immediately after took olf lus skates, went ashore and struck off through the woods, which were bare of snow, and got a train at a station ten miles from home, and went to Chicago. Then ho went up to "Wis consin and found work in a sawmill. He corresponded with the doctor, taking an assumed name. "When the company de manded the body the doctor wrote ask ing for his skates, watch and the clothes ho wore on that fatal morning. He sent them, but saved the letter, which was now produced in court, and in which the statement was made: "I have a good stiff' about your sizo which I can use." Burns accidentally learned that Dr. Pills and Matilda were married, and he at once returned to Pecatonica. He said that ho would not have cared if his girl hadn't married, but her weakness and the doctor's evident treachery led them to overreach. The sequel wathat the doctor spent two years in prison for his rhare in the fraud. Burns got off lighter, tand the woman was not prosecuted. But how about tho man whom the boys saw skate into a sink hole in the river? Well, they simplv lied. Chicago Herald.

BeabB Davis' Encounter with, a JudfiB "Who Had Fined Him. In his racy book, "Recollections of Mississippi," Gen. Eeuben Davis gives the following account of a personal en counter he once had with a judge who had -fined him for contempt: My patience gave way, and I felt my self in a perfect blaze of sudden fury. I had in my pocket a very fine knife witli a long, thin blade. As I sprang to my feet I drew out this knife, opened it and threw t point foremost into the bar, looking steadily at the judge all the while. My object was to induce the judge to order me to jail and then to at tack him on the bench. The knife vi brated, and the weight of the handle broke the blade near the handle. Gen. S. J. Gholson and several others ran upon the bench beside the judge, ordered the sheriff to adjourn the court and car ried the judge out of tho -court room, whilo a number of persons seized me. Judge Howry being withdrawn, prudent men among my personal friends con demned my action and appealed to me to let the matter stop. I agreed to this. Intending to pas3 straight to my hotel, I saw Judge Howry come forward to ward the place where I was standing. I awaited his approach and when close to me asked him if ho had intended by hi3 fine to insult me. ne said "No.' I then said I had been guilty of no offense to justify such an indignity and requested an explanation. He replied, "I do not, sir, explain my official conduct to any man." In a moment I had slapped him on the face with my open hand. By some acci dent a claw hammer had been left on tho floor near by; ho seized this and struck at me violently, while I got from my pocket the broken knife and opened it. The blow of his hammer fell upon my head, cutting through my hat and several files of paper to the bone. I made another stroke at his jugular with the corner of my knifo blade. This blow fell upon his jaw and I seized him with my left hand by the collar and pushed my head into his face. He struck again with the hammer, breaking and depress ing the outer plate of my skull bone, but not until I had inflicted three more cuts upon his jaw. As we were pulled apart he gave me the third blow. I went to my room and sent tho judge a message not to leave his room unarmed, as I would attack him on sight. The court met again that evening. I had put on a fur cap, with the back part before, to conceal my wounds, and the judge wore his overcoat, with the collar well drawn up, to hide the tokeiis of combat on his person. I did not meet Judge Howry for seven years after this affair. I had gone to Pontotoc to attend the Federal court and was sitting in a room with Eoger Barton and Chancellor Chalmers was sent for from below. He soon returned and said to me: "I sup pose, Davis, you care nothing about that affair between you and Judge Howry?" I promptly replied that I thought noth ing of it, that Howry was a gentleman, and that our difficulty was casual and without malice. Clialiners then said that Howry was below and would be glad to come up to Barton's room. He did so, and I met him at tho door and wo greeted each other in the most cordial manner. Until his death no two men could be more sincerely friendly than wo continued to be. I shall always believe that he went down to his grave without finding out what led to our quarrel that day, and I am perfectly certain that I shall go down to mine in equal ignor ance, unless he comes back to tell me. Delighls of Tobogganing. You sit astride your toboggan, and when it begins to rush down the descent along a road' as hard as iron, with tho speed of light, your first feeling is that you would give everything you have in the world to be anywhere but where you are. There is, however, a wonderful fascination about rushing through tho crisp, sharp air, taking corners cleverly by means of guiding pegs, and sailing down triumphantly on to the broad bosom of the lake. So many accidents had, however, taken place upon the lake run that we of tho awkward squad were disposed to give it a wide berth. A snow storm altered, however, the complexion of affairs. Two or three inches of snow on tho hard, slippery track made the pace less rapid; and if, blinded by the snow and the monotonous whiteness above, below aud around, you ran off the course, as I did, you and your sledge simply rolled over half a dozen times in the soft snow without tho inconvenience of broken bones, much les of a broken neck. I cannot close this letter without alluding to the effect of this glorious out-of-doors life upon the nerves. I am fully persuaded that all tho bromides in tho world aro incomparably inferior to a good draught of Engadiue air. Cor. Pall Mall Gazette. A Small Boy's Reasoning. In a small city in western Wisconsin thero is a small boy who lives with his I parents. One day not long ago he and his mother were walking quietly down street when tho little fellow noticed a number of young cattlo grazing along the edge of the sidewalk. Said he: "Mamma, I wish Mr. So-and-So would keep his 'halfers' off the street." His mother, thinking to correct his pronun ciation, said: "Heifers. Paul, nor 'halfers. The boy looked at her a mo ment and replied: "No, mamma; Ithink I'm right in this matter. Ain't they half a cow and half a calf? I guess they are, and according to that they are 'halfers,' said the boy, triumphantly. Chicago ileram. Vn'ucty Thirteen. From the fact of Christ's betrayal bv Judas the latter is supposed to have been the original of the unlucky thirteenth who brings disaster upon a feast. This superstition is very general, and so strong has it been in France in particular that in Paris there existed years ago, and may very possibly now, a class of professional diners out called Quatorziemes, whose business it was to bo alwavs prepared with a dress suit handy for summons to take the place of some recreant guests, and thus prevent an assemblage of tho unlucky thirteen. In regard to the or ganization of "Thirteen Clubs" it may be observed that tliis superstition has never been considered to hold good except where the number thirteen lies occurred acci dentally. The absurdity, therefore, of the formation of special clubs to meet an the 18th. to dine at 13 tablesor to do any thing else with 13 in u. becomes at once obvious. Such institutions do not fill the bill. New York Herald. WARRANTING FIREARMS. An Interesting Salt SliOTrlnjr tho Respon sibility of a Dealer In Blues. A sportsman has recovered 1,000 damages from a firm in Londoni or breach of warranty as to a rifle purchased by the plaintiff. The case was settled in court, after the plaintiffs case had been opened and a certain amount of evidence called, by the defendants submitting to a verdict of 1,000 and costs. The result of this compromise was that certain in teresting issues and legal points in the case were not threshed out. What those points were will be seen from a sketch of the cause of action. The plaintiff is Mr. F. Hallowell Carew, a gentleman on the sunny side of thirty, and possessed of considerable private means. He has gone in freely for sport since attaining his majority; he has fig ured in the pigskin between the flags, and in 18S8 ho bethought himself of that reputed sportsman's Eden, Southeast Africa, and its resources of big game. The defendants are Eowland Ward Co., the naturalists and taxidermists of Piccadilly. Mr. Carew, prior to starting on his African trip, visited Messrs. Ward's establishment and took some les sons in skinning animals. In the course of conversation with Mr. Ward he mentioned that he contemplat ed obtaining his rifles from Holland's, the well known gunmakers, and one of the Ward firm thereupon volunteered to him that they could supply him with the weapons which he would need, of equal quality to those which he could obtain at Holland's, but at half the price. Mr. Carew accordingly consented to deal with them, and ordered from them the rifles which they suggested for his own use, together with tho five-and-twenty Sniders for the use of his African native staff; he also bought his ammunition from the defendants. Tho rifles were delivered to him, the invoice being mado out in the name of the defendants. He then took the rifles down to Nunhead to test them as to sighting, and on that occasion, and not previously, according to his evidence, the name of some third party as the manu facturer of them was mentioned to him by some one speaking on behalf of de fendants. The trial with the rifles satis fied him; he fired from the one which was the cause of action about ten trial shots. He did not personally inform himself as to the charge which he used in the trials; but it seems that he used ammunition supplied by the defendants, and similar to that which he was taking from them for his use in Africa. In due time Mr. Carew sailed for Zan zibar, and started up country, spending about 1,000 on his trip. Before long one of theo rifles burst in his hands, causing him most serious injury, maim ing h'im and disfiguring him more or less for life. His left hand is perma nently crippled; powder has burned into the skin of his face, aud his hearing has been impaired by the explosion. His trip was, of course, spoiled by the catas trophe, and the outlay upon it was wasted. It appears that he had fired the rifle which had burst some dozen times after he reached Africa. On the occasion of the accident it was loaded with a cartridge supplied by defendants. An expert examination of the burst rifle disclosed the cause of its weakness. The hole for the extractor pin had been in the first instance bored into the wall of the barrel. The workman had then plugged tho hole with steel wire and had rebored the hole. The effect of this boring had been to make the barrel defective in strength, leaving onl- one-sixty-fourth of an inch of metal where there should have been one-eighth. The explosion was due to this defective workmanship, according to tho expert evidence of Mr. S. B. All port, the celebrated gunmaker, who is also chairman of the Birmingham proof board. London Field. The Telephone in Germany. The telephone service is admirable, as is testified by tho public appreciation, there being over 10,000 instruments in use in Berlin. There are no private tele phono companies in Germany, tiie tele phone, like the telegraph, being a branch of the postal service. The price for tele phone service is low, the annual charge for an instrument being 120 marks, or something less than 30. The long dis tance service between the principal cities of the empire is being rapidly introduced. A telegram leceived for a person who has a telephone is at once delivered orally from the central office, and the written message then forwarded by the local post. Likewise a telegram is transmitted by the sender to the telegraph office by tele phone. The telephones in use are manu factured by Siemens Halske, the great electricians, and are said to be a great im Xrovement upon the Bell patent, upon which thej are based. Cor. Mexican Financier. A Permit for Smokinj. Nowadays Germany might well be called "the smokers' home." Every Ger man has his pipe and can smoke when ever he will, and within certain limits wherever ho will. There are no restric tions against the use of tobacco, and one's desires in that direction are only circumscribed in particular places such as churches, lecture rooms, opera houses, etc. But at one time in certain parts of Germany a man dare not walk on the street or highway with a pipe in his mouth without special permibsion so to do, for which permission he paid a year ly stipend. Buffalo Commercial. The Importance of Occupation. There is nothing that adds more to the zest of life than an interesting occupa tion; even if it means hard work, there is a recompense in the enjoyment of well earned rest. No work ought, however, to be overpowering or so exhaustive that one's energies fall below their aspira tions. On the other hand, no life is so thoroughly wretched as one where the necessity and desire for work is entirely wanting; and this is particularly true of parsons of education and intelligence who allow themselves to fall into that unset tled condition of mind where nothing is of interest.

Curtained Doorways Are Serious Obstacles in the Way of Matrimony. A few evenings ago I said to my friend Dareal: "Joseph, why haven't you mar ried?" The question seemed abrupt, I admit, but the moment was most propi tious. As we eat in the coziest comer of tho club room testing a new and recom pensing brand of cigars we talked awhile at random, and finally we, too, drifted to the subject of marriage in Buffalo. We spoke of the apparent reluctance of cer tain young men to do anything but dawdle about the objects ofr their adora tion, and when Joseph said, "Do not blame them, perhaps it is not their fault," I put to him the startling question, "Joseph, why don't you marry?' Joseph took several long pulls at his cigar before replying, but finally said, his eyes fixed on the ascending smoke: "If you wish to know what has kept rne from matrimony I will tell you. It is the portiere." I stared. Joseph went on: "In other words, it is because parlors have no doors because our modern houses are one vast whisper ing gallery in wliich the slightest sound is li ard from one end to another. It is years since I have felt sure that I was absolutely alone with a girl an environ ment necessary for sentimental demon strations. But to particularize. It is not long since I became unusually interested in a young woman of my acquaintance. Perhaps I was in love with her. If not, I know that I might have become so. I paid her rather marked attention for nearly a year, but in my numerous visits to her house there was never an oppor tunity for anything but the most formal conversation. Usually her father sat in the library across the hall in full hearing if not in view of us. No chance to shut a door. At the parlor door portieres; at the library door portieres; at the dining room dcor portieres; and never an opportunity for that sense of private tete-a-tete which gives a man inspiration for sentimental deeds. "Now it is my idea that the time when mutual love is first acknowledged should be a supreme moment in life one to be made tho most of, and not to be thrown away by any such insensate proceeding as a proposal by letter, or even to be risked at unpropitious seasons, when in terruption is probable or possible. There fore, I did not tell my love with papa reading his paper in tho adjoining room, or with the servant fumbling at the side board in the dining room, with only a thickness of curtain between her and us. I did not tell my love whilo all the doors were wide open and the eisters were act ive in tho upper halls, and I could hear the brother in his room overhead dress ing to go out. No; I waited for some moment of assured privacy. It never came." There was a long silence. "Well?" I said at last. "That is all. Last summer the young woman in question made a visit to a provincial town, where she could shut the parlor door. While there she becamo engaged and was married last autumn."' "And that is courtship as she is con ducted in Buffalo," I sighed. "That is tho state of things in nine houses out of ten where I pay social visits," said Joseph Dareal. And as I recalled the homes of our wedable but unwedded maids 1 con cluded that Joseph was not wrong, and that what is most needed by our young men is not courage, but "a chance." Buffalo Courier. Prepared for Emergencies. "Well, when our advertising car got along there last season the men wanted one side of a cooper shop to display some of our finest pictures. The owner want ed ?2j in cash and ten free tickets for tho privilege, but we refused to be robbed. Ho finally came down to $20, then to $lo, and we offered him $10. He said he would take an hour to think it over, and at the end of that time I went to get his answer. 'What do you estimate the tickets worth?' he asked. 'Fifty cents apiece.' 'And I can sell minel' 'If you wish.' 'Well, you see how it is. My wife is very sick and liable to die. If she lives we can use two of the tickets to go to the circus. If she dies I can use one, but I'll have to give the other to my sister-in-law for helping at tho funeral. That's what I have just agreed to do. Make it $10.30 and ten tickets, and you can have the shop.' "As business is business, I agreed to his terms, but I never ached harder in my life to give anybody a good licking." New York Sun. Mojmerlc Influence in Business. "It is surprising the amount of mes meric influence some men possess," re marked an expert bookkeeper. "Some time ago in New York I had to go over tho books of a firm that had dissolved to straighten out matters. When I started the balance sheet showed $25,000 in favor of partner No. 1. Well, for days and days we worked on the books. It was the most tiresome work I ever under took. Partner No. 1 was a remarkable man. persuasive and affable in demeanor. Sometimes he would come in to go over some of the figures with me. 'These are not right,' he would say. I knew they were and would say so. Then he would start to argue with me, and I felt myself giving way. Finally I would have to leave the room. In the hall I would walk up and down, saying to myself, 'You're a fool. You know your figures are right.' When he had departed I would recover and be able to go on. But all the while I felt the man's subtle in fluence. I struggled against it. 'Do your duty,' I kept saying to myself. "Finally, when I reached the result, I turned pale. Partner No. 1 was short $150,000. He came in. 'Well? he said. 'There is the result.' I answered. He looked at it and never winced. 'You are sure the figures are risjhtr 'Yes,' 1 said. I struggled desperately and this time be was nos able to conquer me- 'Weil,' he said, 'if tliose figures are correct, the money will be paid.' "And he did pay it, every cent, al though it took all he had. You would be astonished to know who that man was. I attribute his marvelous success tc his magnetic personality. Every one with whom he comes in contact feels it. He associates with many men in great undertakings, but he al ways gets the kernels while they ger the sheik, and. moreover, every tbiag is done cs per contract.

Sow This Artiste Appears In Public Every Day Her Fine Habits and Her Fragrant Cigarettes An Interview with Her A Black Eyed Genius. Gyp is visiting Omaha. Haven't seen her? Don't know Gyp? Nonsense! She may be noticed any day walking up and down Farnam street. Sho wears a red satin coat buttoned very lightly around her throat and a toque to match it sets jauntily on her head. The toque is trimmed with feath ers and flowers and a flaxen bang peeps from -beneath its rim. Gyp lias very pretty brown eyes and they gaze through glasses that are perched upon her little nose. Gyp's deportment is very proper except in ono respect. She looks straight ahead through her glasses and walks with dignity, and when people make re marks about her as they generally do she doe3 not pay any attention to them. She just holds her cigarette firmly in her teeth and assumes an indiffei-ent air. For Gyp smokes when she appears upon the street that is the only breach in her otherwise faultless demeanor. Bat then Gyp i3 only a dog a little brown spaniel the wisest, brightest lit tle spaniel imaginable. Gyp is a dog with a career, bhe is an artiste in her way, and, as everv one knows, artistes often indulge in cigarettes. Only smok ing is regarded by Gyp in the light of an accomplishment, which makes her valu able in her professional line. HER LINE AND GET UP. And what is Gyp's professional line? Advertising that is what occupies all her working hours. There are big white letters on her red satin coat, and the let ters tell people where to buy certain things. Of course Gyp attracts more at tention than a dozen newspapers, and ever- one who sees the little brown dog trotting along the thoroughfareb with her flaxen bangh sewed securely into her red satin toque, her glasses adjusted on her nose and her cigarette in her mouth, is sure to read the white letters. Gyp has been in the advertising busi ness a year. She would never have thought of entering buch a public life if the idea had not been suggested to her by the black-eyed boy who it her master. They dida .great many tricks together, and when Gyp learned to smoke a cigar dealer back in Cleveland offered to en gage her services. The dealer offered $10 a week, and Gyp and her master signed a contract, and her first engagement was speedily begun, the boy acting as Gyp's manager. It was a success, and Gyp ap peared here in Omaha at the end of her season. She wore a blue costume then, and the white letters on her coat, or "habit," as her young manager calls it, exhibited the virtues of a certain brand of cigars. Gyp is sometimes disappointed in the weather, but she is very particular about fulfilling her contract, which calls for six hours' walking every day three hours in the morning and three in the after noon. She confines her promenades to tho principal streets, and sho is often times annoyed by tho crowds which gather around her. But being very de mure and self possessed sho refuses to linger wher.e bhe can overhear tho re marks of passers by. Once or twice she has been mortified by brusque commands to "move on" from policemen who did not appear to recognize genius even when it was so well defined as in Gyp's case. she's one of the 400. Gyp is naturally haughty. She is very proud of her satin habit and with true feminine patience bears all tho discom forts of fine attire without a single whine of impatience. Oftentimes the wind blows her coat about her feet and her flaxen bangs slip over her eyes. Besides her glasaes pinch her note and she be comes very tired of the cigarette. Yet all artistes who appear in publio and calmly accept tho homage of the multi tude suffer more or less, and why should a dog be exempt from any of the draw backs that beset an actors career? Gyp does not notice other dogs and ab solutely refuses to make their acquaint ance. As a rule, her showy costume amazes them and they stand and look at her afar off, now and then expressing their canine astonishment in low, deep growls. Iky, Omaha's Bohemian dog Iky, who has aseociated witli lawyers until his assurance is the despair of e cry well behaved dog in tho town tried to join Cyp in her daily promenade; but, although Iky had copied many of tho manners and much of the address of cer tain lawyers in the Sheely and Paxton blocks, Iky was ignomiuiously snubbed. Moreover, Gyp can talk. When she was asked about Omaha she expressed the utmost confidence in its future by removing her toque and bark ing half a dozen times in the most en thusiastic manner. She had no definite opinion about the school bonds, but ap peared to have rather melancholy recol lections of her own education. Sho was quite volublo when Dr. Miller's name was mentioned. Dr. Miller had spoken to Gvd on the street and said Up thought a Priceless AVER'S CHERRY PECTORAL A is the best remedy for Croup, Whooping Cough, Hoarseness, and all the sudden Throat and Lung Troubles to which young eople are subject. Keep this medicine in the house. Hon. C Edwards Lester, late U. S. Consul to Italy, and author of larious popular i orks, writes ""With all sorts of exposure, in all sort of climates, I have never, to this day, had any cold nor any affection of the throat of lungs which "did not yield t& Ayer's Cherry Pectoral within 2-4 hours. Of course I have never allowed myself to be without this remedy in all my voyages and travels.

I recommend its ue in hglit and fre quent liose-.. Properly adiu metered, in accordance with onr directions, it is a priceless blessing m any house." fiver's Gheriy Pectoral, TREPARED BT Dr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowell, Mass. Bold r ail ImE&fca. Trite $1 six bottle, $5. it was a sname lor a poor dog to be com pelled to wear glasses and smoke cigar ettes all day long. But Gyp only sat up with her fore feet crossed in a very graceful manner, looked at him kindly through her spectacles, and then moved along down Sixteenth street. Omaha World-Herald. IN MARBLE CANYON. Quick Sailing Down Stream by an Adven turous Exploring Party. To give you an idea of the number of the rapids from the head of the Colorado river to this point, near the mouth of tho Little Colorado river, a distance of about 290 miles, I will say that there are just 200 rapids, not counting small draws or riffles, and from Lee's Ferry to this point, a distance of eighty miles, there are 100 rapids. We have run the greater part of this 100 and portaged but few, and over many of them our boats have danced and jumped at the rate of fifteen miles per hour, and over some, by actual measure ment, at the rate of twenty miles per hour for half a mile at a time. Standing in the bow of one of the boats as she goes through one of these shutes, with first the bow and then the stern jumping into the air as she shoots from wave to wave, with the spray of the breakers dashing over one's head, is something the excite ment of which can only be understood by being experienced. That part of Marble canyon from Point Retreat for forty miles down to the mouth of the Little Colorado river is far the most beautiful and most interesting can yon we have yet passed through. At Point Retreat the marble walls stand up perpendicularly 300 feet from the water's edge, while the sandstone above benches in slopes and cliffs to 2,500 feet high. Just beyond this the canyon is narrow- L est, being but a little over 300 feet wide from wall to wall, while the river in places at this stage of water is not over sixty feet wide. The marble rapidly rises till it stands in perpendicular cliffs, 700 to 800 feet high, colored with all the tints oi the rainbow, but mostly red. In many places toward the top it is honeycombed with caves, caverns, arches and grottoes, with here and there a natural bridge left from one crag to another, making a most grotesque and wonderful picture as our little boats glide along that quiet portion of the river so many hundred feet below. At the foot of these cliffs in many places are fountains of pure sparkling water, gushing out from the rock in one place, Vassey's Paradise, several hundred feet up the wall and dropping down among shrubbery, ferns and flowers, some of which were found in bloom. Below this, for some distance, are a number of these fountains with large patches of maiden hair ferns clinging to the wall, fifteen to twenty feet above the water, green and fresh, and with the sparkling water run ning down over them they make a most charming picture. Our weather lias been most-wonderful. The thermometer has never registered at 6 o'clock in the morning lower than 24 deg. above zero, and in the sun in the middle of the day has tegistered as high as 75 deg. The sun has shown brightly nearly all tho time, though for eight days at one time it hever shone on us, we being under the shade of the cliffs all the time. Cor. Denver Republican. Tho. Century Club. No other club in New York is at all like the Century. --lfc-is -not flwell or fashionable; it is not famous for its cuis ine, its furniture or its entertainments; but it is delightful by reason of the artis tic and literary atmosphere that prevades the place. Half the excellent pictures on the walls were pain ted "by' members of tho club, half the books in the library were written by members. The rooms are all large, and most of thoin a little dark. Open wood fires make the place cosy. The dining room has one great table, where all who come dine and chat. The man next you may be a literary personage, a professor from Yale, or an artist witli white hair and a reputation. Richard Henry Stoddard comes in and speaks in a voice that no other man dare use in tho club house. At the luncheon there is a brazier at command, and the members may, if they will, and as they often do, concoct what dish they choose. There is no show, no fu33, no array of servants. Scores of members are almost in rebellion at the prospect of leaving tho old house. Some have threatened in angry moments to organize a new club and sfv, but nothing of the sort will happen, and the quiet dignity of the Cen tury will be transferred to the splendors of an uptown club house. New York Letter. Streets and Sidewalks in Berlin. The smoothness of the pavements in Berlin affords immense relief in dimin ishing tho confusing noiscnand jar of the 6treets. "Waking early in the morning at a hotel in the center of the business Eection, one perceives no rattling of wagons, only the clatter of the horses' hoofs, so that it seems as if cavalry regi ments were continually passing. Tho smooth streets have also made cycling very popular, and tricycles are exten sively used for business purposes. The broad sidewalks are laid with flagging in the center, and between that and the curbstone are paved with small, mosaic like stones that form a smooth surface, and are easily removed and replaced. Beneath this tpace are laid the gas pipes, telegraph and electric light wires, pneu matic tubes, etc., so that in laying or re pairing these the street pavement is not disturbed. The wires of the arc lights, as .ell as of the incandescent, all aro carried underground, and in Berlin there are not to be seen the unsightly poles tnat so disngure tlie streets in Mexican cities. Cor. 3Iexican Financier. The Homo of tho Telephone. "We remember well a number of lead ing Brantford gentlemen leing guests of Professor Bell at his residence on Tutello Heights to experiment with a very crude telephone which Graham Bell, then teach ing visible speech (an invention, by the way, of Melville Bell's in Boston), had been working at. It answered the pur pose, of course, but was not nearly as handy or effective as the present instru ment. It was here, too, that the first telephone line was strung front Professor Bell's to the city, some two miles, so that Brantford may very justly be designated the birthplace of the telephone, if not tho birthplace of the inventor, who came from Scotland as a young man with his father. It was the development of the telephone system and the prospect of tho munificent returns which followed which induced Professor Melville Bell, himself a man of wealth and endowed with high montal and inventive gifts, to leave here, much to the regret of the people of Brantford and, we believe, to his own. A Celebrated Physician. John Arbuthnot, the son of" a Scotch tlergyman, was born near Montrose in 1667. He was educated at Aberdeen, where he took his doctor's degree. Going to London to push his fortune, he soon established a "iregrttation. as p, maa of science, and before he was 30 a happy ac cident led to his fortune. Prince George of Denmark, the consort of Queen Anne, was taken" suddenly ill" at .Epsom, and Arbuthnot, who chanced to be there, was summoned to attend him. The prince was cured, and the doctor was appointed one of the court physicians. Swift says that he was the queen's favorite phy sician, and apartments were given him in St. James' palace. Thus distinguished by the marks of royal favor, Arbuthnot acquired the friendship, not only of the leading men of his party, as Harley and Bolingbroke, but that of all the wits and scholars of the time. He was their trusted friendand adviser. He attended Queen Anne in her last illness, and al though he did not continue to hold his official position in the court of George I he and his friend were Tories he maintained a great practice among the nobility. He attended Gay and Con greve and Pope and Swift, and in the verses addressed by Gay to Pope Arbuth not's company is said to drive sorrow from the heart, "as all disease his medi cines dissipate." Pope constantly ex pressed his gratitude to him, and paid him some of his finest poetical compli ments. The prologue to "The Satires," Pope's most perfect piece, is addressed to Arbuthnot. Chicago Herald. His First tetter. A writer in The Christian Union gives an amusing account of the first letter ever written to his wife by a certain old gentleman. Tho couple had never been separated in all the years of their life until "Pa," at the age of 70, concluded to visit some relatives in Boston. "When he was preparing to start on his memorable trip his wife, who was to re main at home, said: "Pa, you never writ me a letter in your life, an' I do hope when you git safely there you'll write me a line and let me know how you bore the journey. I'll buy a sheet of paper and put in a wafer, so you won't have no trouble about that." Pa was absent a week, and, faithful to his promise, he sent a letter. It read thus: "Respected Lady: I got here safe, and I am very well, and I hope you aro the same. I shall be gla'd to git home, for the pride of tho airth that I see here is enough to ruin the nation. Gad! the women folks are too lazy to set up in tlieir carriages. They loll back and look as if they was goin' to sleep, and I don't s'pose one of 'em could milk a cow or feed a pig. "Nephew Abijah has a proper diary of horses', an' i have rid ;all over Boston, Therfe wa'n't no need o' puffin' them boughten buttons on my coat, for nobody noticed 'em. I am "Your, Respected Husband." f An Indian Tights with a Sou. One day an Indian made an excursion to a mountain near Chevantzieurm, state of Michoacan, in Mexico, to look after some fuel for his hut. While cutting up a dry oak he suddenly felt a bite on the calf of his leg, given in the fraction of a second. A moment later he felt coiling around his body the terrible fold of a boa constrictor. Instinctively he leaned hia his head over toward the wounded leg and was almost fascinated by the glare of two bright basilisk eyes, that gleamed like fiery coals in the head of the serpent. Quicker than a flash the Indian ducked his head and caught the neck of the rep tile between his "Jaws, sinking his teeth in the quivering flesh and clinging to it with the desperation of the dying. The huge serpent lashed his tail and tried tc twist its head in order to bury its fangs in the Indian, but the latter clung on and began to chew away at tho neck of the boa, which is the thinnest and most delicate part of the snake's anatomy. After chewing for a long time, the In dian succeeded in beheading his antag onist, tho folds dropped from around his bod-, and the Indian was free. New Mexico News. Boys Out of "Work. Boys have little chance to learn any business by which they can earn theii daily bread. One trouble is that the girls, who ought to be at home doing housework, have taken the places of the boys. I might mention dozens of trades where no great muscular effort is requir ed that are taken up by girls and which should be held by men alone. How can tho boys secure apprenticeships when the places are already filled by girls? "Whilo the girls are at work the boys are idle for want of it; some of them sit around the house, while others aro loafing, stealing rides on trains or devoting themselves tc other forms of mischief. A friend of mine has no work, but his two sisters are down town in a store. I know of a hus band that is idle, while his daughter and sister-in-law are employed. Cor, Detroit News. Earliest Form of Indies' Headdres. The earliest form of ladies' headdress is said to have been the overchief or head handkerchief. Then came the hood, uni versally worn during the Fourteenth century, a revival of the Anglo-Saxon head covering. The close fitting cap is said to have originated in decking the corners of the hood for the sake of com fort and convenience. Chambers ob serves that "the era of caps and hats is referred to the year 1449, the first seen in these jxirta of the world being at the entry of Charles Yn in Rouen; from that time they began by little and little to take the place of hoods or chaperoons that had been used till then."

TO-MORROW IS A HOLIDAY. rho daughters of four generations sat In the dark shadows of an humble room. rhe youngest plr-yed, tbeKray grandmother spun. Her daughter mused, tv hile in the corner's gloom The great-grandmother bent low in her chair And strange hot flushes filled the quiet air. The child: "Tomorroir is a holiday And I will play along the grassy fields And run the hills and pluck the fairest buds That all the flower covered meadow yields; m sing, and walk upon the brooklet's shores." O, In tho distance how tha thunder roars! Mother: "To-morow is a holiday And all of us will merry bo and glad. I'll deck myself in what I have-of best, For life should not be always bleak and sad. The sun shines bright for e'en the darkest souls.'" And coming nearer fierce the thunder rolls. Grandmother: "Ah, 'twill be a holiday. There's no such thing as holiday for me. My fato's to spin and cook the dally meal, For life is work and solitude and drear. It's well for those who may do as they please." See the quick lightning flashing through the trees. The great-grandmother slowly turns aad speaks: "A holiday to-morrow and the tomb All wide agapo for me. What's earth but car And woe where nothing breaks the joyless gloomj And why should I yet linger in tho world?" Gi eat God! The lightning's bolts upon them hurled. They do not see nor hear the awful flame That lights the chamber with a noontide glow The daughters of four generations Ke All dead together, smitten by one blow. Four lives thus ended by the lightning's ray This their to-morrow, this their holiday. Philadelphia Time Difference in Sponges. There are very many people who can not tell the difference between "Turkey cups" and common reef sponges, and they are astounded at the difference in price. They are asked 8 for what they think they can get just as good for twenty-five cents. There are sponges from Florida called 6heep's wool, which, in the opinion of many buyers, are as good, although much cheaper, for all practical purposes as tho silk ones. They are used mainly for washing carriages, although they mako a good bathing sponge. Reef sponges come from Cuba and Nassau. Turkey cups from around the islands of the Archipelago. Sheep's wool and reef sponges come in ten, twenty and forty pound bales, and the Snest of the former, known as Rock Island goods, sell wholesale at from $2.80 to $3.15 per pound. The Turkey cups are sorted at London and Paris into three qualities and sent to U3 in bags. They are sold by the piece. Boston Globe. Just a Difference of Opinion. The artists are always finding fault, in every clime and country, with the work of the local hanging committee." Never was an artist who did not claim, if any of his work was exhibited in an exhibition, that the unfortunate "hang ing committee" had dwarfed his effort by hanging it in the worst possible place. At an exhibition in this city a certain artist had a work accepted and was re quested by the hanging committee to visit the gallery and pick out his own place. He did so. When the exhibition was opened a fellow artist who isited it found fault with the place given ono of his own paintings. "But I will not speak of my o n work," ho said to the party to whom he was complaining. "Now there is 's picture over there. An idiot would have put it in a better place." When he found out later that had made his own selection of posi tion ho had nothing further to say. Chi cago Herald. Amusements In Great Britain. In London the places of amusement number about 550 or 600, including 450 music halls. The capital invested in London places of amusement is little short of S20.000.000, without reckoning places like the Crystal palace, Albert hall, etc. Direct employment 13 given to about 150,000 people, besides indirect employment to a host of tradesmen and workpeople. The London theatres, mu sic halls and concert halh? have accom modation for about half a million of sight seers. The capital invested in similar places of amusement in Great Britain ia over $30,000,000. This gives direct em ployment to about 350,000 people and provides accommodation for nearly 1,250,000 spectators. Chatter. Hardly Coarteou.

Superstitions Railroad Men. Another tragic point on the Houston and Texas railrood is Elm creek bridge. It is in a creek bottom, a few miles south of Corsicana, where a convict employed in the construction of the road was kill ed while attempting to escape. The tra dition is that the unfortunate man was crammed in a water barrel, head down, and buried in scandalous haste. The su perstitious think they can see his misty ghost as it flits across the track in. front of the engine, ominous of evil. Hero ac cident after accident has occurred; many engineers and firemen have lost their lives or been crippled for good, and thousands of dollars' worth of rolling stock and merchandise has been destroy ed. The train men have therefore changed the name of the place to Bad lledicine, and declare that these calami ties will be perpetual until the convict is exhumed and buried horizontally, so as to destroy his chances to kick at the road which cost him his life here below. Houston Letter in St. Louis Globe Democrat. What no Did. One would say that Shakespeare, at least, must be the one exceptional prophet to bo honored in his own country, but, widely spread as we know his fame to be, at least one Englishman had no very clear idea of its cause. Some year3 ago, while passing through Stratford-on-A von, Mr. Toole, the En glish comedian, saw a rustic sitting on a fence. "That is Shakespeare's house, isn't it?" he asked, pointing to the building, "Yes." "Ever been there?' "No." "Brought up here?" "Yes." "Did he write anything?" "Oh yes, ho writ." '"What was it? "Well," said the rustic, "I think ha writ for the Bible." Youth's Companion.
