The Atchison protective committee is engaged in the preparation of a statement in which they will withdraw the charge made yester day in tboir letter to President King', of the L'uiou Trust company, regarding sug gested action against Receivers McCook aud Eeinhart. The letter referred to was sent by the Atchison protective committee to the Union Trust company as trustee of the Atchison consoLaa'.ed bonds cading for the taking of steps to secure the removal of the present receivers of the company, on the grouud of their connection with the management of the company which has brought about the receivership.

It covers live typewritten pages and will at the conclusion of the meeting be given to the press. -Mr. Little's report as presented to the reorganization committee charges that the me j;ue account of the Atchison road for tho four year ending June 1, 194, shows an overestin" ate of 7,281,620, and he gives figures for the ulli'erent yearj on the baii ot his calculations which foot up that amount.

The Atchison reorganization commit tee H'lj mrned tfter a very brief session yesterday. Secretary Kobbo has given on: the lollowicg statement: 'After tiie n eeting of Tuesday, Mr. Little desired t further consult the books of the company, with reference to u ce rtain item, :a which the printed re port of the company differed from the books. He wa unable to do so until yete:day, and after doing so. without changing any of the results of his re port, tie amplified it in a way to make it in; re cletir with respect to this item. Tiie report has now been handed to President Rein tart, and the committee is in -session this afternoon." There was a veil of mystery surround ing tin. proceedings. So cne was al lowed near the room where the confer ence vnis held. When an adjournment was reached those present came out and left the buiitling hurriedly. Not one of them would utter a word as to what had taken place, nerely stating tiiat the statement of the secretary covered everything-, 'liny promised, however, to be more communicative tomorrow. The official statement that Mr. Little's report continued the previous statements that the accounts of the road had been overestimated wa the sensational feature of Tuesday's meeting. When the report deaiiug with tie overstatement of the in come account was lirst given out it met w ith a prompt ienial. It was claimed that the expert rnut have made some grave mistake. Mr. I ittio, however, adheres to his original declaration. It was not expected that President Reinhart or any other officer of the road would be pres ent at this meeting, the proceedings being of the nature of a criticism of the management. Mr. Keinhart, who was seen before the meeting, declined toMiscuss, the matters. He said he could not talk intelligently about the report because he had not seen it.

Tlie Latest I)TlipnicnU Canrer.nc. of ths Tariff Washington, Aug. 9. iXo one could be found about the Capitol today who as serted that an agreement had been reached on the tarirl nor that there w ould be any possibility of a report today. The house conferrees are now standing out for free coal and free iron ore or both. The tariff conferrees remained in ses sion until a few m.nutes after 2 o'clock, and when they adjourned the senate con ferrees proceeded to the president's room where they held a private consultation free from interference or interrupt! jn. A report, however, soon gained gen eral circulation that iron ore should be made free, coal dutiable at 4) cents per ton, and that the coinuromise sugar schedule should stand. The indications point to the verification of this latter report. A petition waa today circulated among members of the house urging the house tariff conferrees to stand by free tugar and a permanent income tax. Repre sentative Bland started the petition, and it was numerous' signed. It was as follows: "We, the undersigned Demo cratic members of the house request our committee on conference on the tariff bill to insist on the provisions of the house bill relating to free sugar and a permanent income tax, and secure the best compromise possible on other sched ules of the bill." Representative McMillin, one of the house conferrees, when seen stated that since the first meeting today he beiieved an agreement was in sight. Coal and iron ore had not yet been set tled, but the main features of the biil would be agreed upon, so that the Re publicans could be called ia tomorrow.

Cleveland Sends a Letter to Dole Acknowledging It. The President Has FinallySwal lowed His Crow. AX UNUSUAL THING. Before the House Decided the Question of Recognition, The Administration Sends the Letter to the Republic Washington, Aug. 9. A letter of con gratulation and greeting from President Cleveland iu the name of the United States is on tho way from Washington to President Dole of the Hawaiian republic The recognition of the new republic was finally decided upon this week and the message was framed and mailed on yes terday through the regular channels. Although the customary secrecy which attends diplomatic matters has surrounded the relations of the United States with the Hawaiian repubiic since that country assumed its new form of government, it is now learned on the best authority that there has never been any doubt of President Cleveland's course in the matter and of his recognition of the new government of Hawaii as a de facto government. A few days ago a letter was received from President Dole conveying the for mal announcement of the proclamation of the republic and the inauguration of the new government. This letter was laid before the cabinet and has been under consideration while the house committee on foreign ailairs was de bating whether it should report a resolu tion for recognition. With the letter of greeting to Presi dent Dole, which of course passes through the hands of Miuister Willis, was sent a letter to Miuister Willis ratifying his ac tion in provisionally extending tue usual recognition to the republic. Frank P. Hastings who in the absence of Minister Thurston is charge d'affaires at the Hawaiian legation, baa had an in terview with Secretary Gresham and was told that he had been formally recognized as the representative of the new govern ment. Chairman McCreary of the house com mittee onjforeign affairs says that it is not customary to give publicity to diplomatic correspondence until it has reach ed its destination. Consequently 'the letter to President Dole will not be made public until sufficient time has passed for its reception, when a copy will be forwarded to congress with a copy of the message received from him. This is the usual course of diplomatic proceedings, but the fact that tiie exist ence of the correspondence has been known, may induce tiie president to make it public. There is a parallel between Brazil and Hawaii on these latest developments. Soon after Brazil had changed to a Republican form of government, a resolution was intro duced in the house by Mr. McCreary, now chairman of the foreign affairs com mittee, for recognition, the Democrats thinking that President Harrison delayed action unreasonably. Before the committee could take action on the resolution, congress was notitied that the president had recognized the new government. BABIES IN POLICE COURT. Two of TIipiu With a Drunken Kntlier lip i tiu Taken Care of by tiie Matron. Two little yellow-haired, pink-toed babies, aged respectively 1 and 2 years, figured iu police court this morning. They are being taken care of by tho mat ron while their father serves a sentence for drunkenness. O Uicer Jones found Robert Condee wheeling the babies around in an aimless way at the Rock Island depot last oven ing waiting a train that had been gone two hours. Tho oilicer thought Condea was drunk and watched him. Finally he nearly upset tho perambulator and the ollicer took charge of the outfit. Condee was pretty drunk and the ollicer says tlie babies looked as though they had been drinking, too. At the trial in court this morning Condee swore that he had given tho babies nothing-. He was drunk, however, and Judge Lnsmiuger fined him $10, which he is working out. Ld. Wilson is a one-armed white man and came in with a yarn that seemed to sav, "This police court ennui is stifling-." Ed. declared that he had not been drunk but admitted that he had been taking on a little cider. Jailer Woodruff testified that Wilson was drunk enough to be profanely impudent, and had no sooner been locked up than he engaged iu a fight. Wilson "even attempted to be funny with the judge, but was silenced with a ten-dollar line. Frank McCarthy, who had been ar rested as a suspicious character, was not tried. The police court mill was shut down for the day. l-'lristl at a Soldier from Ambnh. ew Castle, Colo., Aug. 9. The ex citement over the shooting of a United States soldier guarding the Midland bridge was intensified last night by the firing of a shot by some unknown person at First Sergeant McKaae. The bullet struck just in front of him and glanced off. The soldiers were in arms at once and a thorough search was ma le without finding the would be murderer. World's? Champion Runnpr lieaten. Golden, Col., Aug. 9. W. II. Copple, the world's champion 200 yard runner, was beaten in a 2U0 yard race here yes terday by an unknown who gave the name Adams, but is supposed to be Jack Gibson, ex-champion of England. Adams had six feet start and won by four feet iu spfiiiidl Several fhnn.an.t Hulljra changed hands on the result. LIKED WATERMELON. A. Black Mare With An Kxou.able Instinct w r anti ery j 1 1 1 1 e conscience. 'w A pile of watermelons stood out in front of a grocery store on the avenue last evening. About supper time an old lady and a little girl drove down the street in a crippled buggy attached to a diminutive and antiquated black mare. The mare liked watermelons and you could almost see her smile as the old lady stopped her before the tempting green pile and the little girl got out and tied her to the telephone polo against which the melons were stacked. A man who stood near swears the old mare wnked at. him. "The occupants of the buggy were gone now. The maie turned her heal from side to side. No one was looking. She poked out her nose. She could just touch a very line melon that was half way up the pile. A little poke and it toppled over, rolled bumpingly down the incline of the pyramid and broke with plump against the base of the pole. The old mare was happy. She sniffed at the melon to be sure that her eyes were not Receiving her and kicked one hind leg gently to be sure she was not dreaming. Then she waded in. She closed her eyes and then opened- them again. She breathed long drawn contented sighs. She tried lirst one piece of tho melon and then another as though she did not know which was the best. She burrowed her nose into the blushing sweetness and allowed the refreshing liquid that al ways goes with melons to trickle from her nostrils. She snorted in her happi ness, and whinnied with overwhelming joy. She had never found a snap so soft before. She would take advantage of this one. If she could have escaped her harness she would probably have lain down and rolled in the red and green and wet. She rubbed her ear in the juice and did not kick because she g-ot a seed in her eye. She wished that life was one long, uu ceasing round of shade and watermelons. She would be glad to live on forever, provided she could hold it alb O, how happy she was. She was getting ready to roll off an other melon when her mistress and the grocerymau appeared. The miatresa paid the groceryinan forty cents for the melon and drove the old mare home. The little girl wa3 the stronger and plied the wliip. JUST LIKE HER MOTHER. Mr. Laaie'i Little Olrl, I.oulse, Lecture Itforfa .School ISoy on AVotiiau isuir.-ae. If there is one person Mrs. Lease is prouder of than she is of herself it is her little eleven. year-old girl Louise. "Little girl' of course is simply a couvoutioual expression, for Louise has already shown strong signs of being of the same sex that her mother is. She is very original Rnd does her own thinking. Of her own free will and through conclusions arrived at by her jT.u investigation she has become a vegetarian. And no meanly disposed person can say that she believes that way because meat dirties up dishes so and the gravy bowl is the most disagreeable thing to wash, for according to the Lease household economy dish washing is no part of woman's work. Mrs. Lease brought Louise with her to Topeka this time and it was wiiile they were at the Reform school that the truth of the old adage "like father like sou" was demonstrated. Louise saw the scores of naughty boys sporting about on the play grounds and seized the oppor tunity to impress on their young and plastic minds the truths of a new era. So she gathered a hundred or so boys around ifj-r in the Bhade of one of the trees on the lawn and addressed them ou woman suffrage. After talking to them several minutes during which the big and little bad boys paid better attention than they ever did to their mammas' counsels she concluded: "Now bjys some of these times a good many years from now when I am a candidate for president or congressman I want you all to vote for me; will you do it''" The boys were all evidently under the spell for they all answered, "Yes ma'am, we will." MRS. JOE SWITZER IN JAIL. A Topelca Woman Nabbed for I'tclcing Pocket lit lvansas City. Kansas City, Aug. 9. The woman who was arrested yesterday charged with stealing pocketbooks from the of fices of various office buildings in this city, was today identified as Mrs. Joseph Switzerof Topeka, Kan. The young woman was arrested early yesterday attcrnoon and J. R. Switzer, of 709 Washington, who is believed to be either her husband or her confederate, was arrested a few hours later. She gave her name as Maggio Tuttlo. She was fully identified after her ar rest yesterday by E. I Martin as a woman who stole a pocketbook contain ing $2 from Mrs. Martin in Dr. Elliott's office in the Deardorff building during the first part of July. On the same day that Mrs. Martin was robbed the Tuttie woman asked to be al lowed to view tho Sells Bros.' circus parade from a window of Dr. Alice A. Graham's ofiice in the Ridge building. When she left the office Dr. Graham missed her pocketbook, tained $13. At the central police Tuttie, or Switzer, woman which con station the declared at first that she had just arrived iu the city from Springfield, Mo., and that she had come to that city from San Francisco. Subsequently she admitted committing some of the thefts, and revealed enough in the sweatbox at the police station to cause the arrest'of J. R. Switzer of 709 Washington street. LOCAL MENTION. Rev. J. B. Thomas starts tomorrow for Colorado and the west. The prayer meeting at the Baptist church tonight will be held in the upper room and a Baptismal service will follow.

At Hamilton Hall next Monday even ing, the 14th, Hon. II. Kelly will address an audience and tell why he left the Re publican party. MARTI II ASTALW ART The Senator Will Not Support the Populists, So Says Chairman Richardson of the Stalwart Committee. HEAD OF FUSIONISTS Said to Have Given Assurances to Democrats That He'll Work For and Sup port Overmyer's Ticket. Senator John Martin will support Da vid Overmyer and the rest of, the Demo cratic state ticket. The chairman of the state central committea has received as surances from him that as soon as con gress adjourns he will enter the cam paign for the Democratic ticket. Thus another hope of the Populists has disappeared. When fusion was sat down upon, mauy of the leaders as well as others, expected that Martin would take a decided stand for the Populist ticket, and look for an endorsement in the form of a re-election by the next legislature, if it is controlled by the Pop ulists. They also hoped through Mar tin's aid to deflect many Democrats from the support of the state ticket. Chairman Richardson, of the state cen tral committee, made light of the talk that there was any doubt that Martin would support the Democratic state ticket. "It is no use to announce that he will support the ticket. It is foolish to say that a Democrat will support the ticket of his party, but when con gress adjourns you will hear from Mar tin iu the campaign." Eugene Hagau, a member of the ex ecutive committee, said that Martin had offered his services to the committee iu the campaign and will go to work just as soon as he gets back. The state central committee opened its headquarters iu the Otiice block today. The committee will occupy rooms 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 on the south side of the building. The chairman is here but the secretary, W. H. L. Pepperill of Con cordia will not be here for some time. The committee will carry on a vigorous campaign but it will not be opened vig orously before September 1. CO It NINO AM) BE.NNIKOtOS Charged With Ueing Employed by the Republican Stata Central Committee. Chairman Breidenthal of the Populist state central comtrunittee, said this morn ing that he has obtained absolute proof of the charges that Cyrus Corning anil W. II. Bennington are working uuder the direction of the Republican state central committee. Corning and Bennington, as officers of the Topeka Initiative aud Referendum club, issued a challenge to the managers of both the Republican and Populist parties for tho discussion of the initiative and referendum plank of the Populist platform. Chairman Breidenthal says he has ab solute proof that the scheme for the issuance of that challenge was con cocted by Chairman Lelimd of the Republican committee, it being understood that the Populist committee would not accept the challenge and Benington and Corning would then, as an excuse, start their talk about the in itiative and referendum and devote their time to abusing the state administration. Mr. Breidenthal says the Republicans in that kind of a joint discussion would have everything their own way. In pursuance of their plan to make just as much trouble for the Populist committee as possible, Messrs. Benning ton and Corning have originated a move ment to have an independent Populist 6tate ticket put in the field. W. II. Ben nintgon today received a letter from M. A. Pratt of Wichita, who is strongly in f avor of another ticket. He says that he can tret twenty-five or thirty signers for tiie call in Wichita. Mr. Pratt says that the ticket can not hope to win this year, but that the Populist state ticket will be defeated anyway and that a fight for principle wiil bear fruit in the future. Mr. Bennington says he has also re ceived word from C. W. Marsh and Judge lladley of Kansas City who were dele gates to the state convention favoring an other ticket. The call has not yet been made. larl in the Wabntth Itiver. Pekc, Ind., Aug. 9. For a number of years it has been known that pearls of a small variety existed in the Wabash river, but of such a diminutive size that they were generally accepted as worth less. Thomas Blair, of Washington, D. C, has demonstrated that they can be found in such good quality that they fire worth searching for. The pearls are found in mussel shells and generally in the mid dle of the river. Coxpy'n Army Arretted aa Vasrrantn. Baltimore, Aug. 9. Marshal Frev dispatched forty policemen by special t in to llyattsville at 3 o'clock this morning and arrested the remainder of Coxey's army, eighty-eight in number, on the charge of vagrancy, and they are now captives in the Maryland Louse of correction.

ELLERY 3IURRAY NOW ILL. lie lias the Yellow 1'ever, Hut Is I.iU-!y to Ltecover. John V. Abrahams received two let! r-i from his brother, Joseph W. Abr-ih-tnn, this morning, both written July. '11 fr.-m Tuxtepec, Mexico. In them he i that John A. Murray, who died of yellow fever near Tuxtepec, Mexico, first com plained of feeling ill on Monday, Ji.Jy 23, but as he had taken a lontr horseback ride on that day he attributed his illuin to that cause; but on Tuesday, not J'erl ing any better, he would have gone to Tuxtepec to see a doctor, but a heavy rain prevented, and on We lie i iv he made the trip from the ranch to Tuxte pec, a distance of fifteen mile. Not until the following Saturd ny wru it found that ho was suffering from yellow fever, when he became it.ueh worse, and on Sunday he died and was buried the same day in the cemetery at Tuxtepec. Eilery Murray, Mr. Murray's brother, and the manager of the company, now sick with yellow fever, hut Jomspit Abrahams writes that it is thought im will recover, aud as no telegram L.n been received it is thought he has overcome tho disease. 'Ihe Mexir m, "Phil," who was Mr. Murray's attend ant, is attending Eilery. 2nouo of the other members of tho col ony are sick, but as soon as Lliery i able to leave tho party will go to tue City of Mexico to remain some lime and re cuperate. Those who went from Topeka to j i i the colony are Frank Mills and Will Curry, who are now in the City of Mex ico, Albert Rosen, Joseph W. Abraham- and Eilery Murray, who are still at Tux tepec. It is said tho colony will not bo nl.ari doned aud those who are interested in Topeka say they intend to push the pro ject. They say that the fever has never reached so far inland for ftdv car, and its presence now is attributed to t!i fact that the season has been unusually dry and hot.

The Hail pub lishes the following: Quite a lit le tempest agitated the quarterly conference of the Methodist Episcopal church when the acrimonious charges against the pastor, Kcv. J- D. Botkin, were tied and an effort made to tecure his rem jvbL But after a stirring debate and lively recriminations by the members of the conference, the worK and pulpit demeanor of the pastor were endorsed by a rising vote, opposed by but three members, and a vote of confidence and allegianc-j to .Mr. Botkin was passed. The charges against the pastor were presented in writing by John Savior aud signed by Honry Knowies. The coinpUii it charged: First Tnat Mr. Botkin had not at tended to his duty in making pastoral calls. Second ThF-t he had preached politics from the pulpir. Third That he had failed to organize the classes. Fourth That he had taken too many trij3 to Topeka. Mr. Savior, in the course of the discus sion of the charges, declared that the pastor had hurried through the room in which the olhciai board had been in ses sion only a fev nights before, and had snubbed the board in order to keep an appointment to caucus with the probate judge of the county. d ue Hev. Mr. Botkin had kept silenca until this charge was made. Then he aroae to viudic ite himself in vigorous denunciation o: the statement. Mr. Bot kin ha.l been ill in bed all day and was weak and white. But ha was mad clear through. He walked up to Mr. Saylor and pointed his tinger at him. "Now. Brother oaylor," he advised, de terminedly, ''sties to the truth. I left here to escort a Methodist minister to the depot Don't you attempt to tell any thing about itic that you don't know. I d:d m-jet Mr. Naugle at the depot and I walked up town with him; and I there met other men, good citizens and hon ored citizens, as Mr. Naule is. But as for that it is none of your business." Mr. Saylor looked humble. "1 am glad you set me rig at"' was all he said. "Yes, weli you stick to the truth after this," continue 1 the defendant minister. Several mem hers of the church spoke in defense of the pastor and then Mr. Wichern condemned Mr. Botkin's Cuxey sermon as a political speech. Mr. Wichern left the church in a pet. Alter he had gone Mr. Botkin resumed his defense. He aot only so far as ;o condemn the stewards of the church for gosaippin" about him on the streets and in the store when Mr. CI: addon, who is a candidate for county coroner, was heard from. "If any ma i says that I ever said a word about this thing on the street, it i3 an unmitigated lie'"' he hoarsely ailirm ed. Hisses from the ladies' corner greeted the angry declaration. "If the cap doesn't tit don't wear it," remarked J. L. Kise. Mr. C haddou left the church and Mr. Botkin continued. The opponents of Mr. Botkin were asked to stand up. "Three!" counted two dozen voices, and hises followed. Only John Savior, James Mason and W. E. Murphy had voted against the pastor. J. L. VVetzel was the only mem ber present who did not vote. T. B. Hubbard offered resolutions heartily renew ing allegiance and sup port to the pastor and expressing confi dence in him, which were passed with out a dissenting voice.

A curious, sus picious looking weed appeared on the farm of "White Hicks, near Beloit, a short time ago. It came up in a piece of alfalfa raised from 6eed shipped in from Colorado.

Tiiis terrible pest is now in Rawlins, Norton and Phillips counties. I am very much startled to find that it is now found in Mitchell. Do everything in your power to unite und exterminate this terrible pest. If it once gets started it will be the hardest thinu to get rid of the farmer of Kansas has ever found.

A Man and Woman Formerly of Seec Married After Fony Years. Chicago, Aug. 9. A forty years' ro mance was culminated in the marriage of Mrs. Emily Graham and O. S. Ward at Englewood. The groom has seen 73 winters and the bride 47. Mr. "Ward is a wealthy merchant of Lawndale, and Mrs. Graham during her visits among the people of Englewood in the capacity of a trained nurse has made a wide cir cle of friends. The story of the lives of the two is full of interest Years ago when he was a young man, Mr. Ward was engaged in business at Seneca, Kansas. One day he made the acquaintance of a little girl in short frocks. He was of a generally social disposition, and the friendship be came fast and firm. Many times ho took the child on his knee and told her stories, little thinking that she would one day, nearly a half century later, become his wife. Mr. Ward married and came to Chi cago, where he went into business, aud rapidly accumulated a considerable amount of property. The child Emily grew up and married, and in the course of a few years she too, made Chicago her home. While she was yet in the pr.mo of life, her husband died, and be ing thrown upon her own resources, she became a nurse. During all their resi dence in Chicago the acquaintanceship of Mrs. Graham and Mr. Ward continued. Seven years ago Mr. Ward's wife fell ill, and Mrs. Graham was immediately sent for. She nursed Mrs. Ward for many weeks and was at her bedside when she died. Since that time the two have had many pleasant meetings, and finally, much to the surprise of their friends, they announced that they would soon be married. After an exteuded trip Mr. and Mrs. Ward will reside at Lawn-dale. MORE WOllK AT PULLMAN The Great Coril Knjjine Run fur i'irt Time In Three Months. Chicago, Aug. 9.

PACKING HOUSES KILLING. No Trouble at Ouiahn When New Men Go to Work. Omaha, Aug. 9. Sheriff Drexel sent 100 deputies to South Omaha at an early hour this morning and as a consequence there was no trouble when the new men went to work in the packing houses. The deputies broke up the picket lines of the strikers and escorted the workmen to the houses in squads. Strikers stood around at a distance and hooted and jeered,but they did not offer to do any violence. A number of the old men returned to work under the protection of the officers. All of the houses began kiiliug in spito of the threat of the manager that they would not do any work until the militia had been called out.

Holmes, druggist, 731 Kansas ara THE BOGUS DRUGGISTS A Grand Jury Called to Look Into Their Cases. THOSE WHO SELL WHISKY ILLEGALLY Are the Ones Hought by the Petition ers Jntlss Ilazen Mays At Will lie a Vselessj Expense. In response to the petition for a grand jury circulated by the temperance cru sade committee. Judge Ilazen has de cided to call a grand jury for the fall term of court, although he does so under protest v The petition was signed by 111 voters and taxpayers, and Judge Ilazen must call the grand jury in accordance to law when a petition properly signed is pre sented to him. In announcing his determination to call the grand jury, although under pro test, Judge Hazen gives his reasons for protesting by saying: "In the first place a grand jury is an expensive luxury to the taxpayers. It costs from $100 to $123 per day to run a grand jury; and there would seem to be no preent necessity for imposing this additional expense upon the county. "At the September term, 1839, a grand jury was called in response to a petition presented to his honor, J udge Guthrie. This grand jury, with Hon. N. C. Mc Farland as foreman, attended by R. B. Weleh, county attorney, returned ten iu dictments, eight of which were for viola tions of the prohibitory liquor law, one for forger3r aud one for gambling, lhese ten indictments were afterwards disposed of as follows: The party indicted for gambling entered a plea of guilty, the county paying the costs. Under the forge.-- indictment nothing was done, costs paid by the county. Of the eight indictments under the prohibitory liquor law three were dismissed, costs paid by the county; two dismissed at the cost of the defendants; and in the other three no arrest was ever made. "The next grand jury was called upon a petition properly presented to Judge Guturie at the April term, 1891. This grand jury with Hon. T. Dwight Thacher as foreman, attended by R. B Welch, county attorney, returned eleven indictments: One for assault with intent to kill, one for grand larceny, one for ob taining money under false pretenses, and eight for violations of the prohibitory liquor law. The indictments were after wards disposed of as follows: The party charged with assault with intent to kill entered a plea of guilty; the grand lar ceny case was dismissed, costs paid by the county; the case of obtaining money under false pretenses was dismissed at the cost of the defendant. In live of the liquor cases no arrest was ever made; two were dismissed, and one went to trial which resulted in conviction, but the de fendant was never sentenced. "Out of the entire work of these two grand juries only one person was tried (who was never sentenced), and two pleaded guilty. There is no more neces sity for the calling of a grand jury at the present time tlian there was at the time those two grand juries were called, and it is fair to assume that the result of their labors will be about as effective. It is a burden upon the taxpayers to no pur pose. "It is well understood that the purpose of tne present calling of a grand jury is the same as that of the other two namely, to enforce th prohibitory law. Yet ex perience shows that the enforcement of the prohibitory law through grand juries in this county has been a failure. "But it may be said that a rand jury is necessary for the purpos- of investi gating the drugstores. A complete an swer to this is that the prohibitory law vest3 the probate judge witli abso lute control of the druggist He may grant or revoke a permit at his pleasure; and it is only when it can be shown that he has abused his discretion that his action can be interfered with by an ap pellate court And there is no doubt but what if it is shown to our present pro bate judge that any druggist in the city of Topeka has violated the prohibitory law either directly or indirectly that his permit would be revoked. This is a more satisfactory way of handling the drug gist than by indictment; for we all under stand how difficult it is to convict a re putable druggist before a jury when he is selling liquor under a permit, although his sales may not be in exact compliance with the law." f It is probably true that the purpose o those who signed the petition for a grand jury ia to get after the druggists for ille gal sales. Judge Ilazen in the above calls atten tion to the dilficulty in convicting a reputable drutrgist. It is not the reputa ble druggist whose conviction is sought or who can be convicted, but the class of druggists the grand juryis intended to reach is the large class. These disreputable places are known by the fact that their stock generally consists of a few tooth brushes and bot tles full of white and red powder, which they seldom or never sell. The reputable and old established druggists do not fear the grand jury, be cause they' do a legitimate business in drugs and medicines, but the white pow der and tooth brush, display liquor deal ers are the class .of druggists who do not want a grand jury called and who will as Judge Hazen intimates leave the state about the time the grand jury is to con vene. The difference between indict ments now aud former indictments is that there is now an association organized to see that cases are not dropped. Judge Hazen says he will convene the grand jury some time in October. Di4olnlion Xoticp. Notice ia given that the partnership heretofore existing between De L. Rug-g and F. II.

The fluctuations in the early trading in grain were less vio lent than they were yesterday, but the conditions were bullish a'tfd the trade continues excited and nervous. The bear panic which had possession of the market yesterday had given place to a bullish feeling at the opening. The leading infiuences leading to the rever sal of yesterday's tone, were the bullish feature. Cincinnati Price Current sum mary noted a further deterioration in the growing corn crop, with increased feed ing of wheat to live stock and the fact that the weather map continued t j show high temperatures, no rain in the corn belt, and reports from Kansas of a total failure of the corn crop. September corn opened ragged, any where from 57 to 59c in differeut parts of the pit against 55 '4 c at the close yes terday. But the price as soon as a set tled figure was reached was 57'aC, and from that price it steadily declined till it touched 55;?4C, yesterdays last price. Then it rallied to 5Q'c. May corn open ed at from 53 to 54o against r2c at the close yesterday, sold to 50c, 3ased off to 53tc but rallied to 53J-gC. September wheat 508 against 55T3C yesterday, touched OOe, and then on heaving selling by Counselman Day, broke to 5"'4'(jj"gC. The break, was assisted by a report tuat 1U5,00J bushels had been chartered at Toledo for ship ment to this port aud by the fact that Liverpool was penny lower. Good buying set in at the decline, however, and a rally followed and the price rose to SOgO- September oats sold high at 33tc against 323-sC the final price yesterday, but eased off to 32?8(? Jc. The strength in gram continued. Sep tember corn selling up to 57c; May to 54tc and September wheat oGgc by 11 o'clock. Provisions were weak. September pork sold off at 12c to $13 07, but rallied to 13 2c; September lard re ceded 21aC and September ribs 5 cents. The advance after the recession which followed the opening was caused by the Washington weather indications pre dicting no rain in the corn belt within the next 36 hours. The country is also buying again and the big bear operator Pardridge was a heavy buyer, taking everything that was offered. The coun try is also buying wheat. The trade in C ""ais is broadening.

STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY. EVEXfNQ AUGUST 9. 1831. IT MAY BE SETTLED. Decker, Mulling ewer Casa. Eerry COUKILXEN TIRED 0? TH2 FIGHT. Hriri. 1. 1 1 1 1 n p r and Stephrmoa Thin the 3Ialtpr Might be Compro mise I Other 4'iiy 31 utter. There seems to be some diversity of opinioa among tha councilmen about whui ought to te done with the judg ment in the Decker, Alullins Berry Bewer case. Probably a majority of the members of the cojncil favor making some kind of a settlement and having the matter tixel up. The city attorney i awaiting the action of the council on the queaiiou of appealing the case. Councilman Etthager said today: I am in favor of settling the matter if it can be done on tome satisfactory basis. It costs the city f 15 interest every day and this dragging along is very expen sive. Councilman Stephenson ia of nearly the same op.nion. "I beiieve we ought to be alle to maL'4 some kind of a settle ment. Every tim- the case has been de cided, the city hts if jt tne worst of it, and I thmk w'e oujht to fix the matter up some way." KEGISTEUI ii OF VOIEIti Women fFlio nasi 10 K -gristsr for the Fall JElec Ion. The city registration ha reached 5,003 and very few new names are being added to the lift in the otiice of the commis sioner of election-;. People d.m't register in hot weather. The affairs of stata do not give the ordi nary man much concern when the mer cury id daucinj; around above 90 degrees. CommiMSiouer lierali i3 troubled some ly women who insist upon registering to vote at the fall election. "I want to reg ister," said a buxo n young woman today. "1 have never Voted, and I want to void this fall." "You may regi ster, madam," said the tiommiicQer politely, "but you can't Vote this fad." "W hy, how is that? I thought women couid vote in Kansas now?" "They can vote only in school and city elections.'' "Well, I want to vole for county super intendent, anyhow. 'lhat ia a sciiool OJJiee." Tae lady was tc Id that she could not even vote for stipe riatendent at tha fall election, tut was rumewhat encouraged when she was told that after nest fall the women wiil probaoly be allowed to reg ister for ad elections. THE CITY DIMl v anus BADLY. Tht Low AVster I Inierferiutr With In Op uai Ion. The city dump 'u the place where the city scavenger disposes of the fiitn which aceumula'ea in Topeka. It is a large iron pan which wi 1 hold more than a wguc loai, and this is carried out on a wire rope aud its contents dumped into '.he river. The dump has given the city a great deal of trouble and when the present arrangement was mads about a year ago it was thought nothing more would oe hetrd about It, but now there ia another "kick" oi tha way. The city dump is suffering irum the dry weather, and t lie people in its vicinity are suffer ing from the city dump. The debris has tilled up the channel ef the river and the water does not carry avay the re fuse. It also interferes with the upera tion of the dump, is the iron pan drags on the deposit in the channel when making its trips; and worse than all, the stench is almost as bad as it was before tne new duinu was put in. The c.ty engineer inspected the dump yesterday and is s ato-died that the only thiug that will help maiters is a rise in the river, and as he has no means at hand lo pro. luce that result, the matter will be submitted tj the council, and a new location for the dump may be chosen.

Ilea Don't Dare to Whip Wives Any Mors, rtieir SAYS A SP2AKER LAST EY2MQ At the Women's Open Air Meeting In Par lid ale All Bat One of the Speak er Are Women. The women of the progressive politi cal league tried an experiment last night. They held an open air meeting, and it w as fairly successful. The speakers stood on theporch of the residence of Levi Hammond, at the cor ner of Sixth and Chandler streets and talked to about SJJ people, who used the improvised benches or leaned over the picket fence. Mrs. Gracia Pofta, president of the league, presided, and the music was fur nisued by Ward's musical club, which consists of four young men with French harps and guitars. i Mrs. E. Wardall was first introduced. She said in part: "The three planks of I the People's party platform are money, land aud transportation. As to the lat j ter, no other resolution has been offered better than government ownership of railroads. There is no other solution to the strike problem than that. The gov ernment has already paid for every mile of radroad in the Country with laud and money grants at a just compensation, j "If the women couid vote they would help change this condition. And now I we come to suffrage. W'e do not ask for i anything because we are women, but we I do ask for everything because we are human. Never till viiaian is free shall we have a tree, broad visioned race. "The old parties stand up for condi tions that force men and women into de generation." Mrs. Wardall then closed with an ap peal to all to vote for Populism and suf frage and tat down. In introducing the next speaker, Wil lard Sti uble, assistant state superintend ent of public instruction, Mrs. Potts inci dentally said: "It is said that trie people are awakening all over the country. This :s not true ot Kansas for the reason that the people of Kansas are never asleep." I Mr. Siruble spoke at considerable i leutrth. I Mrs. Bina A Otis was the next to speak, aud, in presenting her, Mrs. Potts said, anion? other things: "The old par ties seem to be a little afraid of their fu I ture if the women get to vote. They know how to approach a certain class of men, but the women are a mystery to them. It is said that woman can be toucned through her vanity, but it has not been recorded that either of the old parties will open millinery stores and j give each woman voter iu the future a new hat. Kansas women will staud up for Kansas homes." j I Mrs. Otis: ''In looking back upon past legislation and theu upon preseut condi tions I am happy to say that woman did not vote. Laughter. Bui I want to say now that sue is going to. Applause. "In her recently published letter to I the Woman s Journal Dr. Deborah Long shore said: We are sorry to see a Re publican pin ou her shoulder, the yellow badge of a party that we di not think has brought peace or prosperity to our state.' Everyone knows she meant Miss Au thony. She does not prove, however, that Miss Anthony was ever a Repub lican, but Miss Anthony has proven that she is a suifragist. "V e want sulfraue. We were not par ticular which party gave it to u, but e intend to stand by the party that stands' by us. lias the Republican parly stood by Uj? Voice from tiie audience, 'N j.' "It has been said that the Popuiist party would cut the suff aire plans out c f their platform. It couldn't cut it out. The peopie would not let it. "I feel sorry for the Republican who is opposing suffrage simply because the Pl ulis.s endorse it. If the devil should endorse the golden rule I would not for sake it. "We are called cranks. Every promo ter of reform since tue world bean has been called a crams. Tne women are geiting mighty. There was a lime when nieu coul 1 whip their wives. Is there a man in Kansas wuo would dare to do such a thuirf today? "We are trying to make the purifica tion of politics a reality. Will you beip Mrs. O is sat down amid applause. Al bert Griffin, who was said to be in the audience, was called for but bad gone home. There were no other speakers present, Mrs. Blackman could not coma and the meeting adjourned. PUKEKI-NG 1 NANGUNG. Says ila Thinks the I loliibl lonlste Will Poil 25.000 V..te. Between two hundred and three hun dred peopie assembled on the north steps of the siaie house last evening and list ened to the opening speech of tiie Pro hibition campaign in Kansas, which wa3 male by Major I. O. Pickering, the can didate for governor, of that party. Major Pickering said the Populist3 ought to join ihe Prohibition party, where they could get all the reforms they are working for and the additional aud most important reform of prohibi tion. In regard to the enforcement of the prohibitory laws he said: "If I am elected governor of Kanaka and am inaugurated as governor, 1 tell you that I can close every open saloon in Kansas inside of ninety days. It's all nonsense to say that it can't be done. What are they doing in Kansas City aud Leavenworth and Atchison; you know best wheiher or not they are doing it in Topeka. The joints are running wide open, and I tell you that it is open rebellion. That's what I call it. I say that any man who speaks from a plat form in this campaign and ignores this question is unworthy to obtain the suf frages of the citizens of this state. The whisky enemy never sleeps. It is con stantly making assaults upon the laws. The governor of the sta'e is not fulfilling his duty when he appoints police boards who openly legalize the sale of liquor in the state by the system of monthly fines, who allow all the heil holes, the damna tion holes to run wide open." The Prohibition county convention yesterday af.ernoon nominated a full county ticket with the exception of a candidate for county attorney. The convention agreed that the cen tral committee should be empowered to select a candidate for county attorney. Although nothing was said about it in the convention, it was understood that if a citizens' candidate for county attorney siiouid. ba brought out by tiia temper- J ance people the committee would place his name on the Prohibition ticket. The nominations made were as foilows: Probate judge, F. W. Frazier; clerk of the district court, A. G. Carruth; super intendent of public instruction, Mr. John Montgomery; count commissioner, S. A. Clary. For representative Thirty-fifth dis trict, G. F. Kimball; Thirty-sixth district, J. W. Sidwell; Thiriy-seventh district, Rev. R. Wake. After the nominations were made Major L O. Pickering was introduced and made a short speech. He said the prohibition ticket will not poll less than S.5,000 votes in Kanas this fall. LIFE PEJiCK IX KANSAS. Hi Letter to XV. F.

I fully intend, however, to give such time as I can to the campaign in Mr. Simpson's behalf. He is slowly but surely regaining his health aud strength and in a few weeks will be ready for campaign work. We notice the Repub licans are trying to create the impression that Jerry was sick unto death. They will not think so when the campaign is open and he is in the midst of it. No better head and no better heart is to be found iu congress than that belong ing to Jerry Simpson; ho is the people's friend as well as the people's advocate. 1 will come and give a few days to the campaign there if I possibly can.

'1 he new postal money orders are not popular; one man describes them as "coarse, clumsy, awkward, unhaudy, ir regular, illshaped and poorly design ed." Rev. R.

The fanuers came in one afier an other, and soon the little sehoolhuuse was filled with an anxious, happy as sembly. Jouathan Fuller, the chairman, rapped for order and called the roil, livery man answered to his name, with the exception of -Mr. llajties. Mr. Fuller announced, at the con clusion of the preliminary business that there was uo patticular theiiie for discussion and moved that John Banys make remarks up n any sub ject he mir;ht choue. The whoie ineetinsj seconded the motion with a roar. Mr. Bangs aro-e and looked at the cobweb in the corner of the room as if he thought the e was n inspira tion in its dusty drapery. He then Klanced at the i.oor and sa: 1 he be lieved he had nothing to ay. The crowd stamped and veiled, and amid the discord could be hea:d cries of 'ViO on." -'Vou must say some thing." ''Hurrah for I'.ans," and so lorth, all of which quite took the old farmer by surprise, and beiore he knew it he was standing an balanc ing himself against the desk. The uproar ceased and Baivs ciedied his throat. "Well, I'm not that sort o' citizen as wants to make hnr.i fe-ilni'd 'nu-fi each, other, but when 1 sees a screw loose 1 wants to take a screw dr.ver and tighten it. The audience lit tered and stamped. 1 an,;s li xe 1 his eyes o:i the cobweo, then g:aneed at the chairman, who acicd as if l.; liad been s..ot, and turned his eyes from the speaker to a oracle in the ceiliug. j Iiuw it- is a good tiling to have a Grange. Tt is a u-,tiul thinj to have it riaie strong; in fact, it i the iest frcrew-tiri ver we ever ii; d.

He borrows everything. His wire is gett ng into the ,-ai:;e habit, an 1 the oung?ters too. He is the screw that's loose. 2sow let's t.ilk Mime way to cure Caleb, for we all know he is coed at heart: besides that. I want to get a screw-driver lie borrowed of me not long ago, for my vvoiuul1 is about to take up the e:;?pet This brief, extern poraneou 4 address was followed by whd ch'.-e.-ing and excited stamping till the whoie rooru was one cloud of duL o one minded it but the spider, whos amp ereti over his swing' ng mansion's del icate carpeting and nettled himself down ;ii his back chain her in per.ect disgust at the behavior 01 the grang ers. The plans suggested for curing Caleb iiavnes of borrow. ng were numerous, none of which earned en tirely satisfactory but the .one set forth by Mr. Kanirs. It was unani mously agreed to begin t e tightening of the screw the i e .t day, and that the novel method should be started by Mr. Bancs. The meeting then disoivedand the grangers dispe sed to their homes Caleb Haynes wa- feed.ng the r.igs. Looking toward the iiiil his eye caught the wagon of John Bancs, loaded with something. "Good morning. Caiet," said John. "Good morning, John. Going to market?" "Uli, no. I iust merely thought I would bring you over a few things. You weren't at the Grange last night?" "No, I couldn't come. Had to go to town la-t night with my old wo man's' cousin Ann, to Sorrow a Mut ing machine. I knew there was no such thing around the neighborhood. "Wish I had one. 1 would lo in it to you. But I iruess these is some thing here ou wdl i.ke. .Vow, he e is a new ax I will let you have till you get ready to return it, and "Oh, you are too kind "And a coffee grinder, and a first rate grind-stone. Yes, and her is a dou Lie-shovel plow, just what you want for your new corn." John, yuu are a Christian. If everybody was like you, this would be a happy worl But be'o e he could say anything more, John whipped up his horse and started for home. Mr.. Haynes was delighted with the coffee-trrinder, and cellared that she would net be in a hurry to re turn it. While they were breakfast ing they heard the clatter of wneels, and soon after some one kno ked at the dcor. "Come in," sa'd a!eb. "Good-morn n-j, "said Jacob Fel!e-. 'l am qu tuy way to market, and I thought I would stop and loan you a few things." "How clever y.u are," said Mra Haynes. "Here 13 some sugar and nutmegs my Wife out in, and a bottle of vin egar. "How thoughtful she is. "Why, I was jut coining over after those things, for we want a dumpling, and we can't eat lettuce without viaegar, you know." "Of course net," observed Mr. Fuller. "And there is a spool of thread: she said she thought you were out," "Yes, I am. Now 1 can finish Bobby's pants." Mr. Haynes smiled and remarged that Mrs. Fuller would have a biikht spot in Heaven. Mr. Fuller drove on and wondered, what sort or a noolc Mrs. Haynes would have in the same place. William Boynton was none the slower for his gray hairs. He rushed into the yard like an antelope. "Why, what's the matter?" asked Caleln "The fact is, said the old man, "I'm In a sort of a hurry, and I thought 1 might as well be a little lively. Here is a string of dried ap ples my wife thought you would like to try; and 1 thought J'd save you the t ouble of coming after the weekly pa; er. There is a good d al of news in it. An i here is a scythe to cut your grass. Good day." Boynton was off as quick as he came, and had not got ten steps be fore young Robert lanvers came rid ing down the road on a gallop and leading another horse, Caleb handed the string of dried apples to his wife, and went to the gate to see what was wanted. "Fa sent me down with the bay mare, Mr. Haynes," said Danvers. "He said he knew you didn't like to borrow, but he thought you needed a horse lor a while." Before Caleb could utter a word the young man had galloped away. Caleb led the animal to the barn, and then walked slowly to the house "Tell you what it is said he to his wife, "I'm growing 'spiciousl" "Of what?'' she said. i t the neighbors. I can't tell what's the matter with them; they're I getting too good, besides j He was interrupted by Ben Top ha:o yelling at him fro.n the front gate. Caleb left his wife and asked his friend what was up. "I'm goin' to town to see to so'ne business. My wife told me to be j sure and call at your house as I came along, for t-he w; nted your woman to try our new coffee gr nder. "We've alrealy borrowed one this i morning," said Cali'., with a puz i zied ace. j "That won't make any di Terence. I You can use both. Let me see. Oh, yes! here is the weekly rater. I thought, perhaps, you would like to lea 1 the news." 'But I've got a copy already. Bill Boynton brought iae over one not Ion g ago. -oh, that doesn't matter: Y'ou can read one while the woman is read iug the other. I must no. Good-by!" I 'Tood-by." returned CaleU The coffee-grinder and news i paper sat Mrs. Haynes to think ing. Iiow these two articles should have happened to have been dupli cated the same clay was a mystery she couldn't seem to luaie out Mr. Haynes was, thoughtful, also, and he hitched the borrowed horse to the borrowed doubled shoveled plow in a manner that would lead any bystander to th nic that Caleb had committed some act of which he i was deeply ashamed. He worked hard and ate but little dinner. The orhciousness of his neighbors troubled him more than the probability of ii bhort crop of corn. When the sun set Caleb ce ised work and wea:ly started for home. "Well," said he, coming into the I baric door, "has any bo iv else been i over !o loan us a paper?" I "Caleb, you're a fo .1." The farmer's hands dropped t his lap as if they had received an ele trie shock, and he gazed at his wife in mute astonishment, j "Yes, Caleb, ou're a fool. 1 am a ou!, and anybody that boriows is a fool! Do you hear?" "1 hear. But what has come 1 across you so suddenly?" T "don't think it lias come so su 1- deuly. If we had not been fools we'd seen it before this." "isav, Susan, 1 wish you'd explain your nonsense, and stop acting so much like a fooil I'm hungry." The most sensitive point of Caleb's I feelings was touched, and he arose fiom his chair and walked the ro ai impatiently. "I'll give vou to understand," said his wife, that you shan't have a mouthful till I have had my say!" i "Well, hurry up," said Caleb, j "All right, In the first place, I neither you nor 1 were at the rueet in last night, were we?" j o. i "Well, now, to comedown to busi ness, I Know very well they talked about us and our habit o:' borrow ing j 'Don't believe it." I I do. I know it, I've been think ing about it all this afternoon. How could it hap; en that they'd tiring us so many things the same day? And think of it two coriee-grinders and two newspapers;" "jusan, I begin to believe you." "You'd better. It's just as pia;n as beads on a string." "What can we do?" I "Do? Why, take everything back as soou as you get through supper." i "But don't we need the things?" 1 "What of it? Take them all back, 1 and say we can buy our own things." "But, Susan, it will cost a good deal." J "Can't help it We must act in dependent. We'll buy our own things after this. i "Why. of course we can; aud ii we can't, we can go without," said Caleb, brightening. "That's riffbt. I'll round up tbe coffee with a hammer before I bor row another grinder." A new feeling came over Mr. Haynes. nis manhood seemed Xq have returned, and his heart seemei to be lightened of a heavy load. After supper he hitched his old mare to his wagon, and started on his journey to return everything that was brought to h:s home in the morn ing. Harry, the oldest son, rode the borrowed bay. The neighnors were dumfo inded. There was not one member who thought the trick would be tVund out before a week. No one had an op portunity totjuestion him. He merely announced that he had come to re turn the articles borrowed, and that he hoped to never get in the misera ble habit again. It was o'clock before he returned home, and by the time the chores were finished the clock struck 10. The next morning was a bright one, and Caleb declared he felt better than he had for many months. "lt seems so much better to use your own things." he remarKed. 'You are right," assented his wife. By tbe time the month had passed Mr. Haynes had bought another horse, subscribed for the weekly paper, and furnished the house and farm with the necessary implements and con veniences. At the next Grange meeting Mr. and Mrs. Haynes answe ed promptly when Jonathan Fuller came to their names on the roll, and when there was order and quit Caleb arose and said he would like to say a few words. The whole audience was silent. Tbey seemed to think they were in the p:esence of a man whom they had in jured. "Ladies and gentlemen," began Caleb, his voice coming with an ef fort, "I was not present at the last meeting, and I am glad of it. You have done a great good. I don't want anybody to feel bad because he might have talked about me behind my back, i am curetl of the miserable, beggarly habit of borrowing; and that' is euough. 1 move to speak upon another subject." At the conclusion of this brief speech, which was uttered with a great deal of leeliug, Mr. Uoynton stepped forward and p:essed Caleb's hards. Kvery one in the room fol lowed the example of the agile old man. and Havnes ielt that he was honored beyond his merits. 3 At the end of tne unusual perfo m auce some one suggested that singing should he the next thing in order. INot an objection was offered, so Jon athan Fuller hunted around fa wlole for bis tuning lork and started. "There is Rest for the Weary." in as high a key as he could maintain without i rapturing his windpipe. To be sure some said "we-ar-ry" and others let melodious sounds pass through their no es, but their hearts were enraptured, and their souls as piiirig above the sordid earth.

MODERN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER it -May 13 avo Faults, but It Is a Powerful I n 1 1 -u for (lood. The development of the newspaper has been something phenomenal. The whole numi.er is nearly r.,U0u. a! out one in ten published every day. They have many faults, has the newspaper which is only the history of each day, written beiore its close musi have. The faults are. perhaps, some what exaggerated with us, owing to the wider range of news topics. Their sensationalism, sciappiness, and dogmatism produce something of mental dissipation in cases of over indulgence. But the majority of newspapers everywhere and of cverv grade, are conducted with honesty and conscience by men who have learned loth what the public wants and in what they cau hope to lead it. The influence of this history or a day read by millions of people is incalculable, and, in general, it is good. It leads many persons further into the study ot some questions about wh eh'they had received a hint or a scrap of information. Nowhere is this great engine of modern civili zation better used and appreciated than with us. In addition to the news it pours into its columns day by day, it publishes every year thousands of articles on the most important and interesting topics. .Nowhere is it thoroughly encyefop die. lt was once the fashion to insist upon the truth of Pope's line, "a little learn ing is a cangcioas thine." tut the Held of knowledge has become so vast that we must recognize the limita tions of time and ins st that if a lit tle be a danger none at all is fatal. Our newspapers give thousand. of persons first a faint tdea of the exis tence o'. souaethiuz before unknown, then a little insight, and, last of all, the thirst that can enly be quenched by deep draughts at the fountain of knowledge. In brief, they draw out the faculties of uncounted millions who otherwise would neither learn ncr have the desire to learn. Defrauded. A short story, but very much to the po nt, is one t id of John Alien, an English clergyman. lie had heard that a brother ministe.- kept his con gregation jvaitinc and kindly re monstrated with him. "It was only ten minutes," said the offender, apologetically. "How many people had you in church?" asked Mr. Allen. "A bout :t00." "Th ee hundred?
