UuglQd, THE BESTJLT IK MASSACHUSETTS. Iola, Kans, May 27, '89. Mr. C. F. Scott. Dear Sir: In a recent number of the Register, it was stated that the third party pro hibitionists of New Jersey drew from the republican party enough to elect a working majority of democrats. Now I would like to ask what drew the republican votes in Massachusetts, when the vote was cast for a prohibi tion amendment? If the republican party is a prohibition party, why wa3 prohibition defeated by 45,000 majority in a State that zive a renubllcan ma jority of 32,000 for president? xoura for Information, E. A. C. H. Our correspondent will doubtless ac cept Gen. Fisk as good authority on such a question as the foregoing, and he says, (in a letter published in the Reoister last week) that prohibition failed in Massachusetts "because the masses are not yet ready for prohibi tion." This statement leaves nothing farther to be said in reply to tho question pro posed. The Reoister is entirely will ing, however, to respond to the implied charge that, because prohibition failed in Massachusetts,the Republican party is therefor4 a whiskey party. -In the first place this paper has never said that the Republican party is a prohibition party. It is too broad party to be limited by so nar row a definition. It has said, however that the cause of temperance and ulti mate prohibition must work through that party: and we do not consider that tiie result in Massachusetts in the least, inva!ldaie.i,ihl claim Itja gea craliy conceded that the Repnblican party favora a protective tariff; yefc there are thousands of individual Re publicans who favor a revenuo tariff. So whilo tho dominating sentiment of the Republican party the country over is undeniably in favor of prohibition, there are yet large numbers of individ ual Republicans who are opposed to it. It would be just as reasonable to call the party a free trade party in the former instance as it would to call it a whiskey party in the latter case. The Republican party has suffered much unmerited and uufair'cqndemna tiou because of the action of a very small minority. It has happened, for example, that in a Republican State a proposition to submit a prohibitory amendment to the people has been de feated before tho Legislature, by only three Republican members of that body joining with all the Democratic members. Yet nothing is said about the Democratic party which voted solidly against it, while tho unmeasur ed reproaches' are heaped upon tho Republican party although nine outof ten of its members voted tor It. We submit that this Is not fair. So in the case now under consideration we pro test against the Republican pirty be ing held responsible for the failare of prohibition so long as it ia generally conceded that it got nine Republican, votes for every one Democratic ote The writer of U1I3 did not folio the light in Massachusetts very closely, and It not qualified to express a person al opinion about it. We very well re member, however, a long talk we had about it with ex-Attorney-General Bradford who had spent several weeks in the campaign. It was the day be fore the election and the General said:. "I do not expect the amendment to c-trry. The campaign has been wretch edly managed. It has been ran by third party cranks and women who. are very good peoplo, but who do not know a little, bit about politics. They do not fenaw how to get out thtlr vote or how to do hardly any of the things, that are necessary to a successful polit ical campai2n Their Business Booming.

A Thrillinsf and Romantic Story of the Late Civil "War. nY JOHN B. 3IUSICK, AUTHOR OF "BnOTHER AGAIKST BROTHM," Hxi.en Lakeuan," Walter Unowit- field," Banker or BEDronD," and Other Stories. Copyrighted, 1S33. OHAPTEtt in-COsrisnED. Captain Smart, remembering tbo ad ran tago Luke's suggestions bad been to him, said: "I'll givoye any four men in my compa ny ye want, if yo think they'll bo enough to protect the people. I've tried t' stop their stealin', but it don't seem in my power. It you kin do it, yer welcome t' the detail." Having the privilege of making his own selection, Luko chose his mess Arkansaw Tom, Ned Cotton, Bill Swain and Corporal Max. Bill's wound was trifling, and did not disable him. ""Whatyowantust' do?" asked Arkan saw Tom, as they hurried down tho road past tho advance guard. You are to protect a house." "Whose?" 'Mr. Jordan Kofi's." "Union or Fccesh? "Tho family arc divided. The only son is In tho Confederate army." "They'll burn the house." "You must not let them. Tho house and inmates must bo shielded from insult." "If ye say 't, we'll perfect 'cm, of it costs us our livcsv" "That is what Iwant you to do." "It's settled," said old Arkansaw Tom. Wc'il pcrtect 'em, ur bite tho dust tryin'." The old familiar farm-houso was ut last in sight, and Luko felt his heart beating high with hope and expectation as he neared it. "I will sco her onco more," he thought. "She will know that I have done this for her sake, and that next to my country she is tho dearest object of life." How peaceful and quiet seemed tho pleas ant old country home. The tall poplars and stately elms towered above the broad lawn, and their leaves rustled in the breeze. The flocks were bleating on the hills, and distant tinkling of cow-bells camo to his ears. Pigs were grunting in tho fence corners, and busy bees hummed from flow er to flower. The strange silence about tho bouse caused an uneasy feeling to como over him. When they reached the gate they saw that tho house was closed, and had tho appearance of being deserted. Followed by his comrades, Luko has tened toward tho front door, hoping by his sudden return to give his betrothed a pleas Ant surprise. Only hollow echoes answered his knocks, and at last, growing impatient, ho turned tho knob and opened tho door. The room was unoccupied. There was Mr. Neff's fa vorite couch, with one cushion on tho floor, as if tho occupant had quitted tho room hurriedly. A few embers still smoldered on the hearth, and LHlie's favorite chMr, with her sewing on tho floor near it, .as at the side of the couch. A crumpled news paper in tho middle of the floor and the dis arranged furniture all bore evidence of a hasty flight. Filled with a strange dread, Luke has tened to the next room, calling the name of Lillie, with no answer save tho hollow echo of his own voice. Ho soon satisfied himself that tho house was deserted. A warm dinner was smok ing on the table in the dining-room, which convinced him that tho house had been but recently occupied. Hoping that tho owners might be near, he ran to the garden, then to the negro quarters, but they could nowhero bo found. Ho was about to return when a black face peeped out from a cluster of woodbines at the rear of a chimney to one of the negro huts, and a voico said: "Massa Luke, am dot you!" Blackhawk, why arc you hiding there?" Luke asked. "Hidin, massa; all do others am done gone an' hided, an' so did L" "Who are you hiding from?" "Dun no, massa. All do odders dey runs an' bided, an' dis chile did, too." "Blackhawk, where is Miss LiUie?" "Dun no, boss; she an' olo massa runs likedodcbil war after 'em down into do woods, an' lor mo heah by myself, an' den I hided heah." Go after them tell them they shall not bo harmed." "Couldn't find 'em, massa." "Go and try. I must sco Lillie, and have but a short time to stay. I must see her father, too. I left so suddenly that night that I did not get to say all I wished." I km go, massa, but ten to one I don't find um." Tho bead withdrew into the woodbines, a slight rustling noise and tho negro was gone over the low fenco into the wood be yond. When Luke returned he found his com rades seated at the farmer's table helping thomselvcs to the ready cooked dinner. "As they've all vamoosed we thought it best tcr keep this ar grub from spilin'," said old Tom. Luke felt inclined to deny them tho right to appropriate the dinner of others, but, the halt!" he CRIED. pangs of hunger at last overcoming him, he joined them in the feast. Having satisfied their appetites the five soldiers went to the front yard, where they saw the advance guard of the little army coming down the hilL 'Take your places in front of the fence, and allow no one to come inside," said Luke. The first soldier who attempted to force his way inside was stopped by Arkansaw Tom. who said: "Ye can't come in." "Why?" the man asked. "Because we've orders ter pcrtect this cro property." Hain't they sece3h?" "Dun make no difrence; we uns hev orders, an''you 'ns kin go on." The man turned to his companions, who bad halted near, and said: "They've got a guard thar an won't let us in." "What 'f they hev!" cried a great, blus tering, burly fellow. "Hain't they secesh? Jfow let's go in an burn the house down." 'If ye do ye'll make trouble f ur yer Bclves," said Tom. "They're secesh, an' I'm ergoin' t' burn th house. I'll see who's in't, too. Come on, you 'ns, 'f ye hain't too big cowards." Luke cast a glance at the old house be neath whose friendly roof he had passed bis happiest days. It was the home of his iriends, the home of his betrothed and in the attic was the old wooden cradle which had borne his infant form on the flood. This .ast relic of his mysterious babyhood would, of course, perish with the house. He de termined to defend it with his life. Leaping on the flat-topped gate, tho re cruit cocked his musket. The fire in thoso eyes warned the men of tho danger. "Haiti" he cried, so sharply that they in stantly came to a stand-still. He glared at them for amoment and said: "Don't al low that bully to lead you to death, for I in tend to shoot tho first man who attempts to enter." "Ye'r not sich cowards as to be skeercd by him; go on," cried tho boaster, taking care not to advanco a step himself. "Stay where you are, men, and if ho wants to burn tho house, let him como and try it." "Yes, Zack, go an' burn tho house, and we'll wait here," said one of the boaster's companions. But Zack was not quite so ready to go as to send others. Ho stamped and swore he would eat the earth, when Luko resolutely but coolly assured him that he would get a taste of it if he attempted to enter the gate. "Hain't yo comin' ter help me?" Zack roared. "Taint no use," said an old farmer -looking recruit, seating himself on the wood pile. "There's only fivo on 'em, and ye say yo kiu clean out a dozen any time. Yo don't need us no, we'll stay hero and watch ye." For a moment Zack hesitated between pride as a bully and fear of tho musket. Prido at last got tho better of his fears, and, with a volley of oaths, ho took a step toward the gate. Instantly Luke's gun covered his heart. CHAPTER IV. A SAUCT REnEL. Again the boaster halted and fixed his eyes on tho resolute soldier upon tho gate. There was no mistaking tho intent ot tho recruit, and turning about Zack said: "Oh, come on; tho main army '11 ketch up wi' us d'rectly." His companions gave utteranco to shouts HE RODE FORWARD AND SEIZED HIS HtlKND BT THE HAND. of derisive laughter, and followed the cowed bully down tho road. 'Yc've got grit n no mistake," Arkan saw Tom said when tho others were gone. "Iswow, I believe yo"d a shed his blood 'f he'd a done it" "I certainly would," Luke answered, de-- scending from his perch. In a few moments stragglers began to come along and tho men were kept busy to prevent their stealing something or doing some damage. The main column at last came in view, with Captain Smart at tho head. "Ye've saved it so far, I see," he said. "I have, Captain, but I came very nearly shooting one man to do it" "You did right If ye find any o them prowlin', or at any devilment here, let 'em have it. I know old Jordan Neff, and he's a good square man, and no 'n shall harm his Louse. But ye'll And lots o' stragglers follerin' us. The meanest ar' alters in th' r'ar. Better stay hero till the last uns gone by." As Luko intended asking this permission, he readily assented. Tho main column of about two hundred men, which Captain Smart called an army, moved on. The Captain was correct when ho said "Tho meanest ar' allers in th' r'ar," as Luko soon discovered. It took lio little courage and determination to hold the scoundrels in check. Ho was forced to knock ono down and prod another with his bayonet before the stragglers of tho rear guard could be induced to give up tho idea of plundering tho house. By tho time the last straggler "had gone by, leaving tho houso unmolested, the main body of troops was some four or five miles away. Luke, with his guard, started to overtake them. They jogged leisurely along the road, picking up a straggler hero and there, until their force numbered twelve or fif teen. Tho idea that they were in any danger from tho rear never for a moment entered their heads until they were startled by tho clatter ot horses' feet in that direction. What's that?" some one cried. "Hosses, by jiminy!" Tom answered. At this moment a black man, bare beaded and baro footed, as most of tho field-hands were, came running down tho road toward them, crying: Run, massa foh do Lawd sake, run." "Who is it, Blackhawk?" Luke asked. "Rebs am comin' like do debil, massa; more'n a thousand of um." The earth trembled beneath tho heavy thunder of hoofs, and Luke knew there were not less than half a hundred horsemen in their rear. A panic seized tho men, and half of them ran away into tho woods on tho left. "This way this way," said Luke, run ning toward a cornfield on their right Those who bad not already run followed him, and just as tbey began to climb ovor the fence the cavalry came in sight Bangl baugl bang! went half a dozen shots. With a scream a young man named George Massin released his hold on the top rail and fell into a fenco corner, struggling in the agonies of death. "Dod burn 'ein for tarn el skunks; they haint got it all their way!" cried Arkansaw Tom, laying his rifle across the top rail and drawing a bead on the foremost rebel. Luke, know ing the deadly aim of the old scout of the Arkansas, averted his head. A sharp whip-crack-like report broke on the air, and when he looked again a saddle was empty, and a horse flying at the speed of the wind down the road. The shot checked the Con federates for a moment, and Luke's com panions emptied their guns at them, still more confusing tho cavalry, and wounding a man and horse. Knowing that they could not long withstand such a superior force, Luke urged his men to fly across the field. The corn was tall, and the overhanging blades concealed them when a few rods away. But they had not gone a fourth of a mile before the corn terminated at a cross fence, beyond which was a meadow, from which the grass had been recently cut They climbed the fence and ran at full speed across tne meaaow toward a log stable on the hilL "Forward, over the fence and cut them down!" they hear a clear7 ringing voice in their rear shout The sound of that voice sent a thrill through tho frame of Luke Mason. He recognized the speaker, who was doubtless in command of their pursuers, as a personal friend, though a political enemy. Reaching the log stable, Luke hurried the men inside and said: 'Don't fire a shot until vou are compelled to." Throwing down his gun, ho walked down the hill unarmed to meet the Confed erate cavalry, who were just leaping their horses over the cross fence. "Wharyegwine! where ye gwine!" cried Arkansaw Tom. "To stop the rebels." 'Why, he's crazy; they'll riddle him with bullets," groaned old Tom. "Stay there, and all will bo right" "With his arms peacefully folded, ho marched down to meet the advancing Con federates, who, completely astounded, had reined in their horses to a walk. A few mo ments later they were near enough to be beard, and Luke called out KrKF l fcl if' 11 ,lm 'nMrnf "Albert Neff! Halt your men and com.; here alone!" "Good heaven! it's Luke!" gasped AN bert, his heart almost ceasing to beat when he came to realize how near he had come to taking his friend's life. His troop ers stopped, and he rodo forward and seized his friend by the hand. "Luke," and his voice was quite husky, "I didn't dream when we separated only a few days ago that wo should meet in this way." "Neither did I; but, Albert, I must ask you to call off your troops. Tho four men in the log stablo are men I chose to de fend your father's house, your childhood home, against the stragglers of ourariny; but for them that homo would have been in ashes." "I'll do it" said tho noble young fellow. It may not be according to military rules, but I'll do it, if I lose my shoulder straps." Wheeling his horse about, ho galloped back to his men, and, after a moment's con sultation, turned in his saddle and, waving his hand to Luke, shouted: "Go on, we'll not harm you." Arkansaw Tom, who had witnessed the strango maneuvers, on Luke's return said: "Wall, I swow, it beats creation. How'd ye turn 'em back so easy?" Luko explained that tho rebel Captain was the son of the man whoso houso they had saved. They returned to the road and took tho body of their comrado to tho house of a Union man, where it was left for burial. As they were hurrying down tho road a dark figure suddenly wormed its way out of tho thicket at tho road side and said: "Massa Luke, you wa'n't hurt, wuz ye?" No, Blackhawk, where have vou been?" "In do brush, massa. I seo all I seo ebery ting, but nobody seo me. I bo wid you, massa, and you know it not" "I believe you are bewitched," said Luke. Whatdo you mean by this strango conduct, Blackhawk?" "Somo day I tells massa, but not now. I's gwine," and ho turned about and dis appeared into the bushes. There is somo mystery about this black fellow," said Luke. "I wish I could fathom it" Lato that evening they overtook tho main body. The little army was encamped on tbo banks of a creek, and rumors of an attack on the rear had como to them. Luke and his companions were supposed to liavo been killed or captured, and Captain Smart was overjoyed to seo them. "I'm glad you're back, Luke," said tho Captain, taking the recruit aside. "1'vo got somethin' good for you." "What?" Luke asked, in amazement "Ye notice that we've been havin' re cruits comin' in ever smco wo started." Luke had noticed that their numbers were hourly increasing. Patriotic farmers and their sons, apprized of tho approach of tho army, hastened to join it and swell their numbers. They came bringing thoir own guns and ammunition, and such arms, at close range, wore not to bo despised. "We've got a full company unorganized, an' they want a leader. They're ready to sign a muster roll and go in. I've made up my mind to havo you their Captain." This was an honor of which Luko had not yet dreamed. Ho thought the recruits might prefer to choose a Captain from their own numbers. But Captain Smart assured him that such would not bo the case. They were without any organization and strangers to each other. "Como with me, we'll get 'em in line, tako their names, and sco 'f I don't pull ye through." Tho unorganized men were got together and Captain Smart made them a short speech, and then called upon Mr. Mason, whom ho represented as one of their num ber, to deliver another; after which their names were placed on an extempore muster roll and all sworn in. "It's your duty next to elPct officers," said Captain Smart "Choose first a Captain, and select the most competent man in your company. It's not for me to suggest, but Mr. Luke Mason is of tho timber out of which good Captains are made. John Karns, Si Smith, Phil Daniels and lots of others among you would make excellent officers." The result was the election of Luko Mason for Captain, Si Smith, First, and Phil Dan iels, Second Lieutenant "I told yo I won Id fix yo all right," said Captain Smart, after it was over. But I havo no commission yet" "Neither havo I," answered Captain Smart "You are as much an officer as any of us." There was soon to bo a regimental organ ization, at which only tbo regimental offi cers were to vote, and Luke was madoto understand that Captain Smart expected a favor in return, for tho Captain was a candi date for the Colonelcy. Tho newly-elected Captain set about com pleting the organization of his company. Ho himself attended to drilling them, using all the military knowledge ho possessed, which was very little. In military knowledgo tho dull never suo ceed. Somo men served three years in the army who never learned to keep step, while the manual of arms was a continual Chinese puzzle. At the ond of the first hour's drill, which was by moonlight, Luke's patience was almost worn threadbare. That night their bed was tho earth, and their covering tho trees, and beyond the confusion of changing guards tho night passed quietly; but they wcro all recruits, and at each time tho guard was relieved sufficient noise was mado to rouse the entire camp. Next morning, by liberal foraging, they procured a sufficient srpplyof provisions. Luke's company was sent in tho advanco when the march began, and ho selected a sergeant with a dozen men to go ahead, giv ing him particular instructions to recon noiter well and report the first sign of an enemy that was seen. Thoy had not gone a mile before he heard a shot, followed by two more in quick succession. He hurried forward with all possible speed, and when he had reached the top of the hill he came in full view of a large, elegant farm-house, in front of which waved a Confederate flag. His advance guard stood huddled to gether about a hundred paces from the gate, at which was a beautiful young girl of eighteen, clad in spotless white, waving a revolver in the air. "What's the matter!" Captain Mason asked. "That ar secesh gal's been ashootin' at us, an' wo 'uns war a talkin' o' shootin' back," tho sergeant answered. "Have you seen any men around?" "No." "Then don't fire. We arc not making war on ladies." "No, but that secesh flag's got ter come down." "So it shall, I will ask the young lady to lower it" "She won't do 't I know that ar' gal'n she's meaner than pizen." "That is the reason you failed to compro mise matters with her," said Luke, and ordering his men to remain where they were, he went toward the house. "Whatdo you want here!" the pretty girl demanded, her bright blue eyes flash ing fire. There was something about her heroic and grand to Luke, even though she was an enemy to his country. He felt strangely moved in her presence, and had he not known that his heart was true to Lillie, he would have half believed that he had fallen in love with the pretty rebel at first sight He answered: "Nothing." "Then go on," she cried. "I have come to give you somo advice." I TO BE CONTINUED.!

Natural Toulness of the World No Good Apologies For 8ln There Is No Pardon Without Repentance Christ Beady to Cleanse AIL In a late sermon at Brooklyn Rev. T. De Witt Taltuage took for his text: "If I Wash mysolf with snow water and should I cleanse my hands in alkali, yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me." Job ix. 30-3L The preacher said: Albert Barnes honored be his name on earth and in Heaven went straight back to the original writing of my text, and translated it as I have now quoted it, giv ing substantial reasons for so doing. AN though we know better, the ancients bad an idea that in snow water there was a special power to cleanse and that a gar ment washed and rinsed in it would be as clean as clean could be; but If the plain snow water failed to do its work, then they would take lye or alkali and mix it with oi, and under that preparation they felt that the last Impurity would certain ly be gone. Job, in my text, in most forceful figures sets forth the idea that all his attempts to make himself pure before God were a dead failure, and that, unless we are ahluted by something better than earthly liquids and chemical preparations, we are loathsome and in the ditch." "If I wash myself with snowwater, and should 1 cleanse my hands in alkali, yet shalt thou plunge mo in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me." You are now sitting for yonr picture. I turn the camera nbscura of God's word full upon you, and I pray that the sun shine falling through the skylight may enable me to take ycu just as you are. Shall it be a flattering picture or shall it beatruoono? You say: "Let It be a true one." The first profile that was ever taken was taken. 339 years before Christ, of Antigonus. He had a blind eye, and he compelled the artist to take his profile so as to hide the defect in his vision. But since that invention, 539 years before Christ, there has been a great many pro files. Shall I to-day give you a one-sided viow of yourselves, a profile, or shall it be a full length portrait, showing you just what yon are? If God will help me by His almighty grace, I shall give you that last kind of a picture. When I first entered the ministry I used to write my sermons all out and read them, and run my hand along th line lest I should lose my place. I have hundreds of those manuscripts. Shall I ever preach them? Never; for in those days I was somewhat overmastered with the idea I heard talked all around about of the dig nity of human nature, and I adopted the idea, and I evolved it, and I illustrated it and I argued it; but coming on in life, snd having soon more of the world, and studied better my Bible, I find that that early teaching was faulty, and that there is no dignity in human nature until it is reconstructed by the grace of Gad. Talk about vessels going to pieces on the Sker ries, off Ireland! There never was such a shipwreck as in the Gihon and the Hidde kel, rivers of Eden, where our first par ents foundered. Talk of a steamer Koing down with five hundred passengers on board! What is that to the shipwreck of fourteen hundred million souls? We are by nature a mass of uncleanness and putrefaction, from which it takes all the omnipotence and Infinitude of God's grace to extricate us. "If I wash myself with stiow water, and should I cleanse my hands in alkili, yet shalt thou plunge m in the ditch, aud my own clothos shall abhor me." I remark, in the first place, that some people try to cleanse their soul of sin in the snow water of line apologies. Hero is one man w ho says: "I am a sinner; I con fess that; but I inherited this. My father was a sinner, my grandfather, my great-great-grandfather, and all the way back to Adam, and I couldn't help myself." My brother, have you not, every day in your life, added something to the original estate of sin that was bequeathed to you? Are you not brave enough to confess that you have sometimes surrendered to sin which you ought to have conquered? I ask you whether It is fair play to put upon our ancestry thingf for which we our selves are personally responsible? If your nature was askew when you got it, have you not sometimes given it an additional twist? Will all the tombstones of those who have preceded us make a barricade high enough for eternal defenses? Iknow a devout man who had blasphemous par entage. I know au honest man whose father was a thief. I know a pure man whose mother was a waif of the street The hereditary tide may be very strong, but there is such a thing as stemming it. The fact that I have a corrupt nature is no reason why I should yield to it The deep stains of our soul can never bf washed out by the snow water of such in sufficient apology. Still further, says some one: "If Ihave gone into sin, it has been through -my companions, my comrades and associates; they mined me. They taught me to drink. They took me to the gambling hell. They plunged me into the house of sin. They ruined my soul." I do not believe it God gave to no one the power to destroy you or me. If a man is destroyed he is self destroyed, and that Is always so. Why did you not break away from them? If they had tried to steal your purse you would have knocked them down; if they bad tried to purloin your gold wa;ch you would have riddled them with shot; but when they tried to steal your immortal soul you placidly submitted to it Tuose bad fellows have a cup of fiie to drink; do not pjur your cup into it In this mat ter of the soul, eie-y man for himself. That thoe persons ure not fully responsi ble for your sin, 1 prove by the fact that yea stilt consort wiib them. You can not get off by blnm ng ibem. Though you gather up all thee apologies; though tnere were a great flood of them; though they should come down with the force of the melting snows from Lebanon, they could not wash out ono stain of your im mortal soul. Still further, some persons apologiz: for their sins by saying: "We are a great deal better than some people. You see people all around about us that are a great deal worse than we are." You tand np columnar in your integrity, aud look down upon those who nre prostrate in their habits and crimes. What of that my brother? If I failed through reckless ness and wicked imprudence tor J10.0JO, is the matter alleviated at all by the fact that somebody else has failed for $100,000, and somebody ehe for $200,000? O. no. if I have the neuralgia, shall I refuse med ical attendance because my neighbor has virulent typhoid fever? The fact that his disease is worse than mine does that cure mine? If L through my foolhardi ness, leap off into ruin, dees it break the fall to know that others leap off a higher cliff into deeper darkness? When the Hudson rail train went through the bridge at Spuyten Duyvil, did it alleviate the matter at all that instead of two or three people being hurt there were seventy-five mangled and crushed? B-cause others are depraved, is that any excuse for my depravity? Am I better than they? Per haps they had worse temptations than I have had. Perhaps their surroundings in life were more overpowering. Per haps, O man, if you had been under tho same stress of temptation, instead of be ing here to-day you would have been looking through the birs of a penitentiary. Perhaps, O woman, if you had been under the same power of temptation, instead of sitting here to-day yoa. would be tramp ing the street, the laughing stock of men and the grief of the angels of God, dun geoned, body, mind and soul, in the-blackness of despair. Ah, do not let as solace ourselves with the thought that other people are worse than we. Perhaps In the future when our fortunes may change, unless God prevents it, we may be worse than they are. Many a man after thirty years, after forty years, after fifty years, after sixty years, has gone to pieces on the sand bars. O, instead of wasting our time in hyper criticisms about others, let us ask our selves the questions: Where do we stand? What are our sins? What are our deficits? What are our perils? What are our hopes? Let each one say to himself "Where will I be? Shall I range in summery fields, or grind In the mills of a great night? Where? Whire?" Some winter morningyou go out and see a snow bank in graceful drifts, as though by some heavenly compass it had been curved; and as the sun glints it the luster is almost insufferable, and it seems as if God had wrapped the earth in a shroud with white plaits woven in looms celestial. And you say: "Was thereever any thing so pure as the snow, so beautiful as the snow?" But you brought a pail of that snow and put it upon tlie stove and melted it; and you found that there was a sedi ment at the bottom, and every drop of that snow water was riled; and you found that the snow bank had gathered np the impurity of the field, and that after all it was not fit to wash in. And so I say it will bo If you try to gather up these con trasts and comparisons with others, and with tbo apologies attempt to wash out the sins of your heart and life. It will be an unsuccessful ablation. Such snow water will never wash away a single stain of an immortal soul But I hear some one say: 'I will try something better than that I will try the force of Rood resolution. That will be more pungent, more caustic, more extir pating, more cleausing. The snow water has failed and now I will try the alkali of the good strong resolution." My dear brother, have you any Idea that a resolu tion about the future will liquidate the past? Suppose I owed you $3,000 and 1 should come to you to-morrow and say: "Sir, I will never run in debt to you again; If I should live thirty years I will never ran in debt to you again;" will you turn to me and say: "If you will not run in debt in the future I will give vou the $5,000." "Will you do that? No! Nor will God. We have been running up a long score of indebtedness with God. If for the future we should abstain from sin that would be no defrayment of past in debtedness. Though you should live from this time forth pure as an archangel be fore the throne that would not re deem the past God, in the Bible, distinctly declares that He "will require that which is past" past op portunities, past neglects, past wicked words, past impure imaginations, past ev ery thing. The past is a great cemetery, and every day is buried in it And here Is a long row of 305 days. They are the dead days of 188. Here is a long row of PCS more graves, and they are the dead days of 1887. And here is a long row of 365 more graves, and they are the dead days of 18S8. It is a vast cemetery ot the past But God will rouse them all up with resurrectionary blast and as tho prisoner stands face to face with juror and judge, so yoa and I will have to como up and look upon those departed days face to face, exulting in their smile or cowering in their frown. "Murder will out" is a proverb that stops too short Every sin, however small, as well as great, will out In hard times in England, years ago, it is authentically stated that a manufacturer was on the way with a bag of money to pay off bts hands. A man Infuriated with hunger met him on the road and took a rail with a nail in it frt m a paling fence and struck him down, and the nail entering the skull instantly nlew him. Thirty years after that the murderer went back to that place He passed into the grave yard where th sexton was digging a grave and while he stood there the spad9 of the sexton turned up a skull, and, lo! the murdeier saw a nail protruding from the back part of the skull; it seemtd with hollow eyes to glare on the muiderer, and he, first petrified with horror, stood in silence but soon cried out "Guilty! guilty! O God!" The mystery of the crime was soon over. The man was tried and executed. My friends, all the unpardonedsinsof our lives though we may think they are buried out of sight and gone into a mere skeleton of memory, will turn up In the cemetery of the past and grower upon as with their misdoings. I say all of our unpardoned s.ns. O, have you done the preposterous thing of supposing that good resolutions for the future will wipe out the past? Good resolutions, though they may be pungent and caustic ns alkali, have no power to neutralize a sin, have no power to wash away a transgression. It wants something more than earthly chemistry to do this. Yea. yea, though ''I wash my self with snow water, and should 1 cleanse my bands in alkali, yet shalt tboa plunge me In the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abher me." You see from the last part of this text that Job's idea of sin was very different from i hat ot Eugene Sue, or George Sand, or M. J. Michelet, or any of the huudreds of writers who have done up iniquity in mezzotint and garlanded the wine cup with eglantine and rosemary, and made the pnth of tho libertine end in bowers of ease instead of on the hot flagging of eternal torture. You see that Job thinks that sin is not a flowery parterre; that it is not a tableland of fine prospects; that it is not music, du'eimer, violoncello, Castanet and Pauccan pipes, all making music together. No. He says it is a ditch, long, deep, loathsome, stenebful and we are all plunged into it, and there we wallow and sink and struggle, not able to get out. Our robes ot propriety aud robes of worldly profession are sat urated in the slime and abomination, and our soul, covered with transgression, hates its covering and the covering hates the soul until we are plunged into the ditch and cur own clothes abhor us. I know that somo modern religionists caricature sorrow for sin, and they make out an oasier path than the "Pilgrim's Progress" that John Bunyan dreamed of. The road they travel does not stop where John's did. at the city of Destruction, but at thd gate of the university; and I am very certain that it will not come out where Joliifs did, under the shining ram parts of the celestial city. No repentance, no pardon. If vou do not ,my brother, feel that you are down in the ditch, what do you want of Christ to lift you out? If you have no appreciation of the fact that you are astray, what do you want of Him who comes to seek and save that which was lost? Yonder is the City of Paris, the swiftest of the Inmans, coming across the Atlantic 'the wind is abaft so that she has not only her engines at work, but all sails up. I am on board the Umbria of the Cunard Una The boat davits are swung around. The loat is lowered. I get into it with a red flag and cross over to where the City of Paris is coming, and I wave the flag. The Captain looks off from the bridge and says: "What do you want?" I reply: "I come to take some of your passengers across to the other vessel. I think they will be safer and happier there." Tho cap tain would look down with indignation and say: Get out or the way, or I will run you down." And then I would back oars, amidst the jeering of two or three hundred people looking over the tatf rail. But the Umbria and the City of Paris meet under ditferent circumstances after awhile. The City of Paris is coming out of a cyclone; the lifeboats are smashed; the bulwarks gone; the vessel rapidly go ing down. The boatswain gives his lfeai whistle of despairing command. The passengers run np and down the deck, and some pray, and all make a great out cry. The captain says: "You have about fifteen minutes now to prepare for the next world." "No hopel" sounds from stem to stern and from the ratlines down to the cabla. I see the distress. I am let down by the side ot the Umbria. I push off as fast as I can toward the sinking City of Paris. Before I come up the people are leaping into the water in their anxiety to get to the boat and when I have swung up under tbo side of the City of Paris, the frenzied passengers rush through the gang way until the officers, with axe and club and pistols, try to keep back the crowd, each wanting his turn to come next There is I at ono life boat aud they all. want to get into it, and the cry is: "Me next! me next!" You see the application before I make it As long as a man going on in his sins feels that all Is well, .that he it coming cat at a beautiful port, and has all sail set he wants no Christ, he wants no help, he wants no rescue;, but if under the' flash of God's convicting spirit he shall see that by reason of sin he is dismasted and waterlogged, and going down into the trough of the sea where he can not live, how soon he puts the sea glass to his eye and sweeps the hor.zon, and at the first sign of help cries out:. 'Twant to be saved. I want to be saved now. L want to be saved forever." No sense of danger, no application for rescue. O, that God's eternal spirit would flnsh upon us a sense ot our sinfulness!. The Bible tells the story in letters of fire, but we get used to it. Wo Joke about sin. We make merry over it What is sin? Is it a trifling thingl Sin is a vampire that is sucking out the life blood of your im mortal nature. Sin? It is a Bastile that no earthly key ever unlocked. Sin? It is expatriation from God and Heaven. SinI It is grand larceny against the Almighty, for the Bible asks the question i "Will a man rob God?" answering it in the affirm ative. This gospel is a writ of replevin to recover property unlawfully detained from God. In the Shetland islands there is a man with leprosy. The hollow of the foot has swollen until it is flat on the ground. The joints begin to fall away. The ankle thickens until it looks like the foot ot a wild beast A stare unnatural comes to the eya The noitril is constricted. The voice drops to an almost Inaudable hoarse ness. Tubercles blotch the whole body, and from them there comes an exudation that is unbearable to the beholder. That is leprosy, and we have nil got it unless cleansed by the grace of God. See Levi ticus. Sse Second Kings. See Mark. Sae Luke. See fifty Bible allusions and con firmations. The Bible is not complimentary in It language. It does not speak minclngly about our sins. It does not talk apologet ically. There is no vermilion in its style. It does not cover up our trangressions with blooming metaphor. It does not sing about them in weak falsetto; but it thunders out: 'The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth." "Every one has cone bnett He has altogether become filtbv. He 1 abominable and filthy, and 'drlnketh in iniquity like water." And then the Lord Jesus Christ flings down at our feet this humiliating catalogue: "Out of the heart of met? pro ceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders, thefts, blasphemy." There is a text for your rationalists to preach from. O, the dignity of human nature! There is an element of your science of man that the anthropologist never has had the courage yet to touch, and the Bible, in all the ins and outs of tho mot forceful style, sets forth oar natural pollution, and rep resents iniquity as a frightful thing, as an exhausting thing, as a loathsome thing. It is not a mere befouling cf the hands; it is going down, head and ears under. In a di'ch, until our clothes abhor us. My brethren, shall we stay down where sin thrusts us? I shall not if you do. We can not afford to. I have to-day to tell you that there is something more pungent than alkali, and that it is the blood of Jesus Christ that cleanseth from all sin. Ay, the river of salvation, bright, cryst aline and Heaven born, rushes through this audience with billowey tide strong enough to wash your sins completely and forever away. O. Jesus, let the dam that holds it back now break and the floods of salva tion roll over us. Let the water and the Wood. From thy side a healing flood. Be of sin the double cure. Save from wrath and make me pure. Let us get down on both knees and bathe in that flood of mercy. Ay, strike out with both hands and try to swim to the other shore of this river of God's graca To you is the word of this salva tion sent Take this largest of the divine bounty. Though yon have grown down in the deepest ditch of libidinons desire and corrupt behavior, though yoa have sworn alLblasphemies until there is not one sinful word for you to speak, though you have been submerged by the trans gressions of a lifetime, though yon are o far down in your sin that no earthly help can touch your case the Lord Jesus Christ bends over you to-day and offers you His right hand proposing to lift you up. first making you whiter than snow, and then raising yoa to glories that never d'e. "Billy," said a Christian bootblack to another, "when we come up to Heaven it won't make any difference that we've been bootblacks beie, for we shall get in, not somehow or other, but, Billy, we shall get straight through the zat." O, If you onlyknew how full mid free and tender is the offT of Christ thN day yoa would all take Him without one single exception; and if all the doors of this house were locked save one and you were compelled to makeegtess by only one door aud I stood there and questioned you and the gosj.el of Christ had made the right im pression upon ycur heart to-day you would answer me as yoa went out, one and all: "Jesus is mine and I am His!"

Thero are several "don'ts" which should be observed whenever two or more women are gathered together, but which, alas! are frequently disre garded. For instance, don't say to a friend: "How stout you aro growing." No lady likes to be told that she is growing or has grown stout If it boa fact, she is doubtless quite well aware of it, and anxious to koep others from discovering it Don't say: "How thin you are," either, for both women and men loathe to be told that they are either stout or thin. Unless you can say: "How well you are looking," it is better to make no remark on the person al appearance of your friend. Don't tell a friend who has on a particularly becom ing gown or bonnet that sho looks ten years younger in that than in any thing you havo ever seen her wear. Don't tell her, either, that it is the most be coming thing you havo over seen her wear. That is an impoachmont of her taste heretofore, though you probaHy have no such thought Dress. r H tA i m astS -tSs.

The Greatest Catastrophe In the Country's History Fifteen Hundred Lives Lost By the Hurstlnjr of a Reservoir Terrible Scenes. PrrTSBUnGH. Pa,, June 1. A sudden freshet in tbe North Fork river, east of Johnstown, Pa., in tlm.AIleEtieny mount ains resulted in an awful catastrophe. Last evening, according to a reliable courier, 1.50O lives were lost The reser voir broke about five o'clock and the im mense volume of water rushed down to the city, carrying with It death and de struction. Houses with their occupants were swept away and hundreds of people were drowned. Up to nine p. m. information received about the Johnstown citastrophe came through Pennsylvania railway officials who averred that over 200 dead bodies had been counted floating down stream from Johnstown alone, while alons the line many additional lives have been lost. It was asserted that there were but two houses in Johnstown proper entirely above the water line. A special train bearing Pennsylvania railway officials and a large number of newspaper men left this city for the scene. Telegraphic communication was entirely cut off. IF. H. Hays, superintendent of the sec tion of the Pennsylvania railroad covered by the flood, telegraphed last night to Superintendent Pitcaini as follows: "The destruction is terrible. The dam at Johnstown is gone between the bridge and tower. "West of Johnstown at some points the tracks are entirely carried away and road bed gone. The river for three-quarters of a mile above the bridge is filled with buildings and driftwood forty feet highland is on fire, burning furiously, and is entirely beyond our con trol. I can not estimate the amount of damage. I walked over last night from Johnstown to Sang Hollow, four wile-. Johnstown is literally wiped out" Superintendent Pitcairn, who was at New Florence, sixty-five miles east of Pittsburgh, telegraphed that over one .hundred men, women and children passed Sang Hollow clinging to debris. Seven were rescued at Sang Hollow, two at Conemaugh Furnace and two at New Florence. -Only forty-seven of the hun dred and over passed New Florence. The Ios of life and propertywas terrible. A special from Blairsville station on the Pennsylvania railroad says: "John Barton, a freight engineer, saw three men and a woman struggling for their lives in the. Conemaugh river just below Johns town. The "Western Union office in Johnstown -was swept away at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The water in -Cambria City, where .are located the Cambria iron works, is thirty-five feet deep and rising." OTHER TOWNS PROBABLY GONE. Pittsburgh. Pa., June 1. The course of the torrent from the broken dam at the foot of the lake "to Johnstown is almost eighteentmiles, nnd-with the exception of one point the water passed through a nar row V vhiped valley. Four miles I elow the dam lay the town of South Fork where the South IFork itself empties into the Conemaush river. The town contained nbout.2,(KX) inhabitants. It has nor been heard from, but it is said that four-fifths of it has been swept away. Four miles further down on -the Cone imaugh river. vhich runs parallel with the main line of the Pennsylvania railroad, was the town of Mineral Point It had SOJ inbaLitant, 9-) per cent of the houses being in a flat close to the river. It seems impossible nt this time to hope -that any of them have escaped. Six miles iuttber down was the town of Conemaueh-Hnd here alone was there a topographical possibility of the spreading Cf theilooditnd the breaking of its force It contained 3,500 inhabitants and muse be almost wholly devastated. WoodvUta, with 5.1-0) people, ray a mile below Conemaugh in the flat, and one mile further down were Johnstown and its .cluster of sister towns Cambria City and Conemaugh botuush. with a total population of S0.O00. On made ground anil stretched along right at the river v-rge wre the immense iron works of the Cambria Iron nnd Steel Company, w ho had J3.O30.O00 invested in their plant Besides this there are many other large industrial establishments on the bank of the river, how badly damaged can not be estimated. TIIE CAMBRIA CITY nORROR. Herrt, Pa June 1. At C.imbra City there are probably a dozen houses in what was a thriving manufacturing town forty eight hours ago. No estimate can be formed of the amount of damage, but the probable loss of life is terrible. There are at present 513 Jives known to have been acrificed and hundreds of peo ple nre homeless. The cold raw weather of this morning is particularly severe on those who aro without shelter and no means of relief at hand as the trains can not reach here from either west or east Kvery thing possible is be ing done for the sufferers. Communica tion with the outer world has been cut off and only temporary accommodation can be had. Some place the damage to prop erty at from $12,000,000 to 15.000 000, but until the excitement calms down it is im possible to form any correct estimate. The latest man fiom Johnstown brings the infounation that scarcely a house re mains in the citv. The upper portion above the bridge hasb-en completely sub merged. The water dammed up against the viaduct, the wreckagj and debris finishing the wcrk that the torrent bad failed to accomplish. The bridge at Johnstown proved too stanch for the fury of the water. It is a heavy piece of masonry, and was used as a viaduct by the Pennsylvania canal. Some of the top stones were displaced. The story reached here a short time ago that a family consisting of father and mother and nine children were washed away in a creek at Lock Haven. The mother managed to reach the shore, Lut the husband and children were carried out inio the Conemaugh to drown. The woman is ciazed over the terrible affair. After night settled down on the mount ains the horror of the scene was enhanced. Abovo the roar of the water could bi heard the piteous appeals from the un fortunates as they were carried by. To add also to the terror a brilliant illumina tion lit up the sky. This illumination can be plainly seen from this placi. A message received from Sang Hollow a few moments ago states that the light comes from a hundred burning wrecks of houses that are piled upon the Johnstown bridge. At Lockport Edward Dick, a young railroader, rescued an old gentleman, a lady named Adams, of Cambria, and her two children by swimming cut to the house in -which they were imprisoned, cutting n hole in the roof and pulling them through. He then swam ashore with them, one at o time, until all were saved. Then he fell exhausted. Patrick Madden wa? nearly dead when pulled Irom the river. He was in the house cf Edward Uarvey. All were caught Ten minutes later the house -was wreckpi, Garvey and his son-in-law were drowned and Madden was thrown into the flood. "When I rose to the surface," he said, "I saw my wife hanging on to a piece of scantling. She let it go and was drowned, almost within reach of my arm. and I could not help or save her. I caught a log and floated with it for fire or six miles, but it was knocked from under ne when I -went over the dam. I then caught a bale of hay and was taken out by Jlr. Marener. My wife it certainly drowned, and six children all missing and I fear are drowned." There are without doubt fully a thou sand people lost between Conemaugh borough and Cambria City. OTHER DISTRESSED TOWJJS. Pittsbcbgh. Pa., June 1. Reports from along the Kiskimiuetas river into which the Conemaugh empties are most distress ing. The river hear Saltsburgh is fl'led with wreckage, and a number of persons were noticed clinging to such timber as would bear their weight At Blairsville men are stationed on the bridges and banks in the hope of rescuing some of those who were being carried down the stream. The volume of water is unprecedented. The iron bridge connecting Blairsville with Blairsville Intersection has been carried away and with it a train of heav ily loaded cars standing upon the bridgs tol.oUititi place. This was the laigest and strongest bridge on the "West Penn sylvania road. It is thought that nil ol the West Pennsylvania railroad biidges will share a similar fate.' AH the towns in tha Kiskimenatas val ley are expected to bo submerged. Among them are Liverraore. Saltsburg. Apollo, Leechuurg and Avonmore. having popu lations of from 8,000 to 10.000 each. The inhabitants along tin river have been warned, but are almost panic-stricken at the idea of their great loss of property, which is inevitable. Later reports from Coketown is to the effect that the entire town is submerged and a number of lives have been lost at that place. TnE FATkL RESERVOIR. Pittsburgh. Pa., June 1. In ordei to understand the nature of thif calamity it is necessary to describe the location of the reservoir at Johnstown. It lies about two and one-half miles north east of Johnstown and is the site of the o.d reservoir which was one of the feeders of the Pennsylvania canal. It is the property of a number of wealthy gen tlemen in Pittsburgh, who formed th?melve? into a corporation the title ot which is the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club. This sheet of water was formerly known as Conemaugh lake. It was from 200 to 330 feet above the level ol John .town, being in the mountains. It wns about three and one half miles long and ficm a mile to a mile and a quartei in wiili hand in some plncesit was 200 feet in depth It held more water than any othei reservoir, natural or artificial, in the United States. It had been quadrupled in size by artificial means ami was held in checS by a dam from 700 to 1,000 feet wide, ninety feet in thickness at th? base and of the height of 110 feet The top had a breadth of ovei twenty feet Recognizing the menace which the lake was to theregion below, the South Fork club bad the dam inspected once a month by the Pennsylvania rail road'engineers, and their investigation: showed that nothing les than some con vulsion of nature would tear the barrier away and loosen the weapon of -death. harrowing scenes. TJerry, Pa, June L A flool of de&tt swept down the Allegheny mountains yesterday afternoon and last night al most the entire city of Johnstown -was swimming about in the rushing, angry tide. Dead bodies were floating about in every direction and almou every piece ol movable timber was carrying from the doomed city a corpse ot humanitv drift ing with the raging -waters, God knows w here. At Derry a group of railway officials were gathered who bad come from Bolivia, the end of the passable portion ol the road westward. They had seen bat a small portion of the awful flood, but enough to allow them to imagine the rest Down through the -pack-saddle came the rushing waters. The wooded heights ol the Alleghanies looked down in solemn wonder at the scene of the most terrible destruction that ever struck the romantic valley of the Conemaugh. The water was rising when the men left at six o'clock at the rate of five feet an hour. Clinging to improvised rafts, con structed in the death battle from floating boards and timbers, were agonized men, women and children, their heartrending shriek for help striking horror to the breasts ot the onlookers. Their cries were of no avail. Carrie I along at a railway speed on the breast of this rushing tor rent no human ingenuity could devise a means of rescue. Wiih pallid cheeke and hair clinging wet and damp to her cheek, a mother was seen grasping a floating timber, while with her other arm she held her babe. The tidal wave struck Bolivar just after dark and in five minute) the Conemaugh rose from six to forty feet and the waters spread out over the whole country. Soon house begau floating down and clinging to the debi is were men, women and chil dren shtieking for aid. A large number of citizens at once gathered ou the county bridge and they weie reinforced by a number fromGarfield, n town on the oppo site side. They brought a number ot rope and thsse were thrown over into the boil ing waters as unfortunates drifted by. Up the river there was a sudden crash anil a section of the bridge was washed away nnd floated down the stream, strik ing the tree and washing it away. All three were thrown into the water and were drowned before the eyes of the hor rified spectators just opposite the town of Bolivar. Early in th-s evening a woman with her two children were seen to pass under the bridge at Bolivar clinging to the roof of a coal house. A rope was lowered to her but she shook her head and refused to desert the children. It was rumored that all three were saved at Cokeville, a few miles below Bolivar. A later report from Lockport says that the residents succeeded in rescuing five peopl from the flood two women and three men. One man succeeded in getting rut cf the water unaided. They were kindly taken care of by the people of the town. A little girl passed under the bridge just before dark. She wns kneeling on part of a floor and had her hands clasped as if in prayer. Every effort was made to save her, but they all proved futile. A rail roader who was standing by remaiked that the piteous appearanco of the little waif brought tears to his eyes. There is absolutely no news from Johns town. The little city is entirely cut off from communication with the outside world. The damage done is inestimable. No one can tell its extent The Cambria Iron Company's works are built on made ground. It stands near the river, and many fear that is has been swept away or greatly damaged. The los of these works alone will be in the millions. The little telegraph stations along the road are filled with anxious groups of men who have friends and relatives in Johnstown. The smallest item of news is eagerly seized upon and circulated. If favorable they have a moment of relief, if not their faces become more gloomy. All night long the crowd stood about the ruins of tlrs Iridge which had been swept away at Bolivar. The water rushed past with a roar, carrying with it parts of houses, furniture and trees. The flood had evidently spent its force up the valley, as no more living persons were being carried past As early as one o'clock yesterday after noon the alarm was sent to Johustown that there was danger from the dam. The railroad officials were notified and in a very short time began to carry people from the town to places ci safety ou regu lar trains and hastily improvised rescuing trains. Superintendent Pitcairn, of the western division of the Pennsylvania railroad, was on his way to South Fork and was notified of impending trouble. STIRRED UP A HORNETS' NEST.

Sensational Address at the Decoration Iay Exercises, Baltimore, Md., Junel. General Cyrus Bussey, First Assistant Secretary of the Interior Department, created a sensation Thursday night by a reference to the South !u his speech at Ford's Opera House where memorial exercises were held by thG. A. It He said it was proper for ex-Cn federates to honor the memory of their dead ccmrndes in nrms, but when they boasted of th righteousness of the Lcsc Came it was quite another thing. Their cause was notright; it was a ciime, and they should not teach the coming generation in the South that the Lost Cause was a just one. He objected to the inscription on the Confederate monument uuvailed at Alexandria the other day which represented that men slept there who died in the consciousness of the righteousness and justice of the Confederate side. He asserted that there were thousands of men who were at heart loyal to the Union, but were lorced into a service with which they had no sym pathy. The North, ho said, reconstructed the South in a political sense at the close of the war; and at the present lima the South was again going to be reconstructed" under the guidance of Northern men tin time in its industrial development Bu bo concluded, the South will only liavi been thoroughly reconstructed when the people of that section accord to the negrc his right of suffrage; allow him to de pos.t his ballot and h:ive it counted. A Prisoner's Suicide. Pittsfield, Mass., June 1. George Wagoner, the prisoner at the jail whe took poison Tuesday night remained un conscious until morning, when he died.

Farther Particular or the Kansas Tornado Extent of the Damage. EirponiA. Kan., May SO. The cyclone which visited Chase County Tuesday, twenty-three miles west of this city, was terribly destructive of property aud one life was lost with almost a certainty of another, and about a dozen were more or less injured. Litest reports from the scene state that not a houe nor fence of any kind has been left standing for near ly "four miles in the track of the cyclone and only bare trunks or stumps of trees. The point of most damage was near the Santa Fo railroad track, about two miles west of a smail town named Clements, on the farm "of Milton Brown, whose bouse was rased to the foundation and ho himself almost instantly killed. His wife wns fatally in jured and his oldest son, Edward, had his leg broken. Eis daughter, Sarah, was badly hurt internally and one of her legs was bioken, and his little baby's head bruised almost out of shape. A portion of the house roof fell on and crushed Mr. Brown's head almost flat and be lived but a few minutes. The residence of Spencer Pickard was totally destroyed to the foundation. 8. D.'Haston lost all his bee hives, barns, outhouses and had his resi dence badly damaged. The residence of B. M. Cbappell was lifted and blown fifteen feet off its foundation and dropped on the ground a total wreck. Job Johnson lost hit windmill, orchanL residence, outhouses, barns, eta, and himself and daughter were injured, the latter so badly as to be unable to be about William Dawson was lso hurt in the wreck of Johnson's house. At least fifteen or twenty other farmers loit residence or crops or both and there is no estimating the monetary loss to those visited by tbe wild winds. Boms wonderful escapes from death are chron icled, among them that of the family of Milt Hunt who took refuge in their cellar and escaped without a scratch to any of them, although the house was blown to fragments from over the heads. Another family named Hoff escaped by flying to the cellar ot Mr. Brown, who himself was killed. Many peculiarities ot the storm were noted. Among them was the snap ping off of a huge elm tree by the wind, while not ten feet away was a very small soft maple with seemingly not a leaf missing. At one place tbe fence posts for a long dis tance were stripped of their wire, it hav ing seemingly been Blown away, and in other places the posts themselves were gone and the wire lay around loose. Tbe storm took with slight deviations an al most due east course and barely passed the town of Clements by possibly half a mile. Had it struck the town the loss of life and property would have been fearful to contemplate. Mr. Brown, who was killed, was formerly from Rush County, Ohio, and has relatives here. He also has relatives named Stevenson, who reside at Burlington, Kan. He was a well-to-do farmer nearly fifty years age, and secved during the war in tbe Ninety-first Ohio infantry, and was mustered out as Cap tain of a company in that regiment LAKE DISASTER.

Tbe two former man aged to come to auchor after being waterlogged, and were picked up by the Calvin and Armenia and brought here. The crews were perched on cabin tops for twenty-four hours, without food and with the waves washing over them, and suffered terribly. Tbe Bavaria went ashore on Galloo island, sixty miles from here, and the crew were: Captain John Marshall, wife and three children, ot Kingston; First Mate Felix Campau. wife and six children, of Garden Island; Second Mate John Snell leaves a widowed mother; William Mc Garrity, Garden Island; Sundv Berry, Pittsburg; Archy Borley and Elias Borley, St Paul's bay, all seamen and single, and Bella Hartraan, cook.

At a barn raising on tbe (arm of Jacob Boerstler, at Loyal Oak. seven.miles from this city, yester day while one of the big bents were being elevated into position one of thesidiposts slipped beyond the protecting bar nnd tbe big beam fell with terrible force upon a score of men. The utmost consternation prevailed and.the work ot rescue retarded for the time being, owing to the ex citement mid lack ot adequate help. Frank E. Irich was the first rescuod and will die, his chest being crushed entirely in. Jacob Kurtz, of Noiton Center, was crushed fatally. Milton Boerstler, a son of the owner of the barn, received fatal injuries. Joseph Bauer, his son William and brother Charles were terribly gashed and bruised and a dozen more were more or less injured. The wives of the men were in the bouse preparing a dinner for the occasion and some of them were com pletely prostrated bv the calamity. The Pacific .Mall's Annual. New York. May 31. The Pacific Mail stockholders held their annual meeting at the company's office in this city and re elected the old directors. The annual statement shows thnt the company earned in the year ended April 3 1883. S4,lGL037f an increase of $52,510 over the earnings of the preceding year. The expenses of operating were 3,066,160, an increase of $28,041, leaving net earnings of i454,S96, an increase of $Zt 4C5. The report states that the only new steamer now in course of construction, the China, will fly a for eign flag. It. will be launched in a few days. George Gould, in referring to the matter, stated that she has been built for one-third less than the prices quoted by American builders. e Stirred Up a Commotion. Tuscola, III., May 3). A peculiar re ligious sect has stirred up a commotion in this county. They call themselves the "Penticost Band," and it is believed that they are seeking to make converts to Mormonism. They have broken up several families at Carmago and induced several wives and young women to travel with them. Two of the preachers were mobbed there Mon day night and Rev. Mr. Sibert was nearly killed. An attack was also made on Rev. Mr. Nelson, leader of the band here. His asB&ilants were armed, masked men. Hs eoaped from them and at once left the city. STOCK ITEMS. "Watch young foals carefully and sea that their bowels discharge regularly. Many promising youngsters are lost every season through ignorance or inattention to this subject Sour swill is not as suitable for swine as is good fresh buttermilk or whey. Many ailments of swine are due to feeding the bogs continually of swill that is under a high degree of fermentation, much ot it being entirely unfit for any purpose but to be thrown ou the manure heap. An experienced dairyman writes to the Texas Farm and Ranch that of the different breeds of cattle for dairying purposes he prefers first the Holsteins; second. Jerseys; thiril, Ayrshires, and fourth, Short-horns and says that any of the above strain of milk stock will give satisfaction to tbe dairymen. If it is the intention to work one or more colts on tne farm this season, commence to toughen their shoulders by daily baths of strong salt water, aud if you have no collar that fits get one that does. Ill-flt-ling collars make balky horses, acd doing without a three-dollar collar has in more than one instance spoiled the snle ot a three hundred-dollar animal. Let tbe calves come when tbuy may, they should be fed liberally or killed quickly. The first ninety days of its life is the critical ijpriod with a calf. Feed it well during this time, nnd it will form the habit of eating and digesting a generous supply of food, a habit upon which tbe success of every good cow depends. A poor feeder is invariably a good milker. Jersey Bulletin. A writer in the Husbandman refers to the fact that tbe recent experiments made by the Agricultural College of Michigan showed that the Holstein calves made the largest average gain, on the least quanti ty of food in a given time, of all standard breeds, excelling even the Short-horns. Galloways and the Herefoids. The more the good qualities of this breed of cattle are known the better they are appre ciated. It has been found that If permitted, hogs will live from fifteen to twenty years of age, that they commence breed ing when they are from nine to twelve months old, and that from one pair only, in ten years, allowing only six to n litter, male nnd female, upward of C 434.633 pigs would be obtained; that is to say tbat, if, instead of three acres and a cow, a coun try man started with some acres and a pair of pig, he might In the course of ten years count their progeny by millions. San Francisco Argonaut Don't be afraid of breeding too large horses. The people of the preseit day want them. The best farmers will have them, and the heavy freighters in the cities can not do without them. The size of the horse of the future will fix its value. The boom is up for big ones, so don't neglect to breed them, and after ward to feed them. A big pair of half breed Normans tbat are well mntched will bring $500 as quickly as one silver dollar will bring another. The best horse for the farmer to raise is the draught horse. N. Y. Herald. FARM NOIES. A fowl should always be killed a few hcurs before it is prepared for cooking. Millet and Hungarian grass seed can be put in now. If preferred the seed may be drilled in, but it is usual to broadcast tbe seed in order to have the plants come up as close together as possible and crowd out the weeds. Make the hills of your lima beans very rich. Fine compost is tbe best material, but manure is also excellent The point is to use plenty of it as tbe pods will fill out very slowly if there is a deficiency of available plant food in the soil. Beets, carrots and parsnip) must be well cultivated at this time, as the warm days will hasten the growth ot grass and weeds to such an extent as to crowd out the young plants if the ground is not clean. They should be cultivated after each rain. Give the early sweet corn a thorough hoeing as soon as it is high enough. The first working is the most important, as it loosens the soil, keeps the weeds bnck and gives the plant an opportunity to push ahead before the next crop of weeds can interfere with them. It is very difficult to destroy ants in the garden or drive them away, as the sub stances that are disagreeable to the ants often injure the plants; bat 'one of the best remedies is to fill their holes with strong soapsuds to which a small quanti ty of kerosene has been added. The practice of paying fraternal visits to neighboring farmers' organizat'ois is recommended as a means of widening our acquaintance and the promotion of a fra ternal spirit And when you go visiting iryto have something interesting to say to add to the pleasure ot the meeting. In sowing n crop to be turned under to enrich the land one of the principal ad vantages with buckwheat is that it makes a quick growth and can be sown either in the spring or summer after the wheat and oats have been harvested, and in a short time make a sufficient growth to be plowed under. Dr. S. D Mnrtin, county statistician, in forms us that the average condition of the wheat crop of this county is 107,'f while some parts of the county report as high as 125. There is more than an average acre age. The prospect is the best for many years. The acreage of corn 110, and the prospect fine. Marshall (Mo.) Democrat. Do not attempt to grow melons or pump kins in the cornfield if you expect to keep the com clean and all tbe weeds down. It is a prnctice to grow pumpkins in the cornfield, but during the latter part of the season the corn is neglected in order not to disiurb the pumpkin vines, which al so nllows weeds to grow on some places to propagate seed for another season. Corn planting is over; wheat will soon be ready tounrvest; strawl orries are ripe; cherries are turning red; clover is In blossom; onions uie strong and tender; radishes tickle the palate; peach trees are burdened with an enormous yield; the population is increasjng so fast that the doctors are cross lrom lack of sleep, and yet some people ure not happy. When tbe m llleniuro conies, these same kickers will bo there to d slurb the hilarity of the occasion. Anthony (Kan.) Journal. Notes. Melons will grow rapidly now, and wood ashes are excellent for them. Scatter the ashes on the surface of the ground, not too close to tbe bills, and thin out tbe plants so as to leave only two on the hilt Do not grow melons nnd pumpkins near each other, as they will hybridize. Cow peas may be grown between the hills of corn, as the same cultivation for the one crop is suitable for tbe other. One advantage with good windows in the poultry hcuse is that good ventilation can be given without the necessity of leaving the doors open. In many cases wire-cloth screens could be used to good advantage. Any plant is a weed that is not de.ired. Two plants of the same kind should never occupy the space tbat should be allowed to one only, as it is their nature to strug gle for the same kind of food and for supremacy. If the plants are too thick some of them should be removed as weeds. To destroy the striped cucumber bugs take half a peck of plaster, one and a half tablespoonfuls of cayenne pepper, and mix the substance welt. Sprinkle a small quantity on each hill and the plant. Pour all your soapsuds on your celery plants. It is a special fertilizer for celery and will make the young plants grow faster than any thing else that can be ap plied. It is also excellent for asparagus. Happy Borne.

TL.o Iola High School Commonco mont A Brilliant and Grati fying Success. It was a flue, good natured audience, the seven hundred people who found peats in Hie A. O. U. W. Hall on Fri day evening laBt to listen to the graduating exercises of tho High School class of 1889. They began coming at half past seven and the 8r9t arrivals had plenty of time to study well the profuse decorations the flags bordered with oak leaves.the Ingenious evergreen motto "Down with Micawber," the great bell of red and white and yellow roses and the beautiful display of potted plants be fore the last who came at half past eight had found their places. There was plenty of applause scattered around, applause for the teachers when they took their places, applause for the school board, applause for the singers aud more applause for the claes when it advanced up the aisle keeping step to the music of the march played by Mis Beulah Reimert. Then there was quiet during the invocation by Rev. C. N. H. Moore, and apprecia tive attention to the anthem which followed. The flret member of the class to be introduced was Miss Jessie E. Thayer, whose topic was "What can she do?" It was soon discovered that "she" re ferred to women in general, and the answer to the question was in effect "She can do anything she sets her mind to." Bhe can eupport herself and a husband too if necessary. At tcution was directed to the various avocations that are now opened and opening to women and the speaker declared her belief in the ability of her sex to follow all of them success fully, the learned professions not ex cepted, and not forgetting at the same time the ancient and honorable occu pation of "being a wife." Miss Thayer spoke with a strong voice and clear enunciation and left a good impression upon the audience. Fred W. Brewster was next intrO' duced and gave a highly humorous disquisition of "Elevators." It was just a plain account of grain and hotel elevators, to begin with, but it drifted soon into a funny description of the way in which a knife and fork, a cy clone, a bent pin, the father of a desir able daughter, and the family dog oc casionally performed similar functions. It closed with a serious reference to the moral elevators of a community, leaving the audience pleased no less with the sense than with the nonsense of the witty author. "The Island of Polupragmosyne," was the subject of Miss Hattio B. Bost- wick's address, and the audience held its breath while Prof.Umholtz announ ced it, hardly suppressing a cheer of congratulation when ho got safely through. Miss Bostwick located the island at 42 deg., 21 mln., south and 108 deg.. 66 min., east in the land of Nowhere, describing it as a place where everybody knows bis neigh bor's business better than his own, where everything is upside down, and all the operations of ordinary society are reversed. Decidedly enigmatical at first the essay developed soon into an easily understood and very clever satire on modem society which was highly appreciated by the audience. Harvey S. Christian mantaiued that "pluck" and not "occasion" made the man, or rather that is only pluck that can take Tadvantage of occasion. It was a well written protest against the Micawber idea of "waiting for some thing to turn up," and was delivered with much earnestness and energy. A quartette, "Awake! Awake! For the Spring has come," by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lefller,MissSsdie Reimert and IVIr. J. E. Henderson was next announced. It was a fine piece of mu sic and was well rendered. No mere summary can do justice to Miss Susie Bjyd's essay on "Frogs." It was full of humor from beginning to end, its appreciation of which the audience testified by numerous inter ruptions of applause and laughter. Miss Boyd certainly has a faculty in this line which it would bo worth her while to cultivate. "The Childhood of Science" was the bUbject chosen by Oscar L. Cowan and perhaps no higher commendation could be given than that he succeeded in in vesting so dry a topic with so much luterest. Itwas a recital of the small beginnings of great sciences, with a suggestion of the yet greater achieve ments the future may hold In store, showing wide reading and much care In its preparation. In general we have a horror of school girl "poetry," and resort to almost any subterfuge to keep from it. Our in dividual appreciation of Miss Mildred Henderson's verses on the topic "A party," may therefore be understood when it is said that we solicited the privilege of publishing them in full. Both in conception and in smooth ness of versification the poem is cer talnly exceptional and our readers will be glad to have a copy which they may preserve. Edmund B.Cummings spoke in an j entertaining way about the games that had found most favor among tho various nations, beginning with the Olympic and Pythian games practiced by the Greeks aud coming down to the great American game of base ball, which with true patriotism he declar ed to be the noblest of them all. After a duet, "Hall, glad summer," by Messrs. Frank Lefller and Chas. F. Scott, Miss May L. 8cott delivered one of the most thoughtful and well- put addressess of tho evening on the text "It is a condition and not a theory that confronts us." This age is prac tical in all things and ought not to al low itself to be deluded by theories Theories do not change conditions Theoretically this is the land of the free and the home of the brave; never theless it i3 invaded yearly by hosts of foreigners who are not brave and who do not know how to use freedom. In spite of theories evil conditions. Mor monism, the drink evil, anarchism- confront us and demand our earnest attention. The addresB richly deserv ed the hearty applause that was given it. John B. Henderson Fpoke with much difficulty owing to a severe af fection of the throat, but hia remarks were well worthy the careful attention the audience gave them. His subject was "Trusts"and he spoke of the busi ness conditions which practically com pelled their organization.ehowing that they are common to all countries by reason of theso conditions aud not on account of any particular economic system. They are organized primarily to prevent minous competition, but they also lower the cost of production and may therefore reduce the cost to the consumer if generously managed On the ollipr hand while lowering the cost of production they may also in crease the price to the consumer and thus become an evil which will re quire restraint. At present they are in a state of probation. If fairly man aged they will not be interfered with. If made into instruments of oppression the law must be worked. These were the main ideas of a very smoothly written and thoughtful production Fasteners" was the subject of a very bright essay by Miss Adda Adams. If it were not for fasteners, Miss Adams thought,the human family would be in danger of falling to pieces. Fasteners are entirely a device of man, Adam and Eve knew nothing about them until sin came and that brought civilization and fasteners peculiar to different times and peoples were des cribed in an entertaining way, disclos ing incidentally some interesting toilet secrets, aud referring in conclusion to the strongest fastener of all, the mar riage tie. The essay was witty and wise and well delivered. Under the title "The New Hegira," J. W. McClure, Jr., gavo a graphic description of the rush to Oklahoma, the amusing as well 113 the serious SiJeofit. In some of its aspects there was a good deal of tho "wild goose chase" about it, but after all tho peo pling of that Territory in half a day was an achievement only possible to American pluck aud energy, and its settlement without riot or bloodshed was a striking and noblo illustration of the capacity of American citizens for self government. The address was well written and was delivered with good voice aud mauuer. The audience was askod to staDd and ret while a quartette, uIn the land far away," was sung by Messrs Evans, Lefller, Scott ard Jordan, (Prof. Umholbs assures us that the suggestion about resting was not in tended as a reflection on the singers) after which Mies May Vezic spoke upon the subject "Night brings out the bugs." The effort was in a humorous vein, beginning with a poetical description of the advent of the June bug and closing with remarks in very plain prose about the humbug. It was very good; just what her friends might have expected. Probably tho most finished produc tion of the evening, in point of deliv ery at least, was the address of Luther E. Thrasher on "Four Scenes in the Life of Cicero." Tho four scenes re ferred to were the tri.il of Verre. the denunciation of Cataline, Cicero's ex ile by Ciodius, and his death. These crises in the life of the great orator were very vividly depicted, and the description was given with, a clearness of enunciation, an appropriateness and grace of gesture, on the part of the speaker that are certainly rare in one of his ago. "Lute" certainly has a future before him as an oratwr if he continues the painstaking and careful work that has heretofore characterized him. Under the title of "Likewise and Otherwise," the essay of Miss May M. Woodin was an original and well writ ten plea for individuality. If every body was liko '-Old Mother Likewise," whose house is like all the other hous e3 in tho row, who dresses and walks aud talks like everybody c-lse does, the world would not move v ery fast nor very far. It is "Mrs. Otherwise" and her sons, who push out In new paths and do things tho best way whether it i3 the old way or not, that keep the world moving and mako life worth living. Miss "Woodin has line voice a.id a good nianer and her essay, al though the last on a long prograra,was listened to with the most uareftil at tention. In a few well chowm word of con gratulation and admiration Capt. H. A. Ewing, as President of ihe School Board, then presented tbi diplomas to the graduates. This ceremr m v con cluded, fifteen little girls a nd boys who had been chosen for the purpose retired to the ante-rt om and soon returned etaggeriug tu ider the burden of llowers which the friends of the class had brought to exp ress their congratulations and good wi 11. "When these had been duly deposit id at the feetof those to whom they had been presented, the chorus tang "Good Nigth," and the audience was dlsmlev- ed with the benediction by Rev. S. A. Alt. Thus closed another "Commence ment" of the Iola High School. A gratifying success. Gratifyng to the school board, to tne teacner, to me graduates themselves and to all their friends. a fittiug conclusion of school year that has been characterized throughout by harmony and hard work: The Register offers Its con gratulations to all concerned. OF GENERAL INTEREST. It Is a customary remark that wrinkles como from worrying, but a physician says most of thorn come from laughing. Any ono who has over seen a Southern Etcamboat load with cotton and then observed the carelessness which prevails among tho deck hands with their pipes can only wonder that moro calamities do not occur. An old oak, In Woodbridgo, Conn., said to bo tho largest trco In Now En gland, was hewn down tho other day, after five hours' chopping by four men. Tho trunk was twenty-seven fcot six Inches in diameter, and contained over 1,100 layers or rings. A diamond owned in Buffalo and known as the "Buffalo gem" weight sixty carats, and is supposed to bo tho largest in tho United States. It is about tho sizo of an almond, and before cutting weighed nlnoty-fivo carats. It was bought in Amsterdam for 130,000. That dreams do occasionally como too true is now believed by tho Port land man who dreamed tho othor night that robbers were removing property of his, and who on awakening went to investigate, found the robber, and got knocked on the head with a piece of lead pipo as a roward for his curiosity. Barnum's elephant "Juno" caught cold at tho winter quarters in Bridge port and was given two gallons of whisky and wrapped in blankets soaked In brandy in tho hope of curing nor. The doso made tho animal "Jolly" and she tore away hor blankets, staggered about among tho herd of animals and conducted herself generally in an un dignified manner. Tho only blacksmith of Mohawk, Arizona, had a son born to him recent ly. Although work was rushing he refused to fill orders, and put in the wholo tlmo making a baby carriage. Meanwhilo tho town was filled with teamsters anxious to havothoir wagons put in ordor, but tho happy father was master of tho situation and no induce ments could provont his labor for the baby. Tho baby is. tho boss of all creation. At a citrus fair In Orovlllo, Cal., thero were sovoral mammoth exhibits of oranges. They included an im mense golden heart, covered with thousands of oranges, a grand monu ment on which wero displayed 10,000 samples of tho fruit, and a hugo basket in which wero piled up 12,150 oranges. Another splendid exhibit was a Japaneso pagoda, in which nearly 6,000 oranges and lemons were displayed. A new and beneficial uso to which tho ordinary toy torpedo can bo put is told of by tho Boston Post. A lady In that city has a Skyo terrier who has a trick of wandering away from her when out on a walk and snapping good-naturedly at tho heels of other people. Sho brings tho dog to her side by throwing a torpedo near him. Tho terrier iB frightened at tho explosion, and, not knowing whonco it originates, runs back to Its mistress for protec tion, and is awed into submission for the rest of tho walk. There Is an old man in Chiccstor ville, in tho Catskllls, who always speaks out in meeting. Recently a city dtvino preached in tho little Methodist church of tho village, and the old man becamo so oxclted at ono or two home thrusts In tho sormon which Bccmcd to apply to a cortaln neighbor that ho got up and shouted: "That's right, youngster, hit 'im again." And later on, when tho ser mon appeared to como homo to him, he cried out in stentorian tones: "That's so, b'gosh. We're all sinners, ovVy durncd one of us. This story from tho Macon (Ga.) Telegraph reflects great credit on the shrewdness and judgment of tho mulo: "Ono day recently two brothers bought a mulo nt a sale In Sumter County and turned him in tho lot at night. In tho morning the mulo had disappeared. They mounted tholr ponies and scoured the country for a day or two, but could hear nothing of their lost ani mal. Ono of them happened to go to the corn crib for Bomo purpose and found tho mulo had opened tho door and gone into winter quarters. He was feasting high and enjoying tho place to its fullest extent." A New London, Conn., citizen sus pected that mice were 'visiting his canary bird cago, which dangled at the end of a chain six feet from tho floor, above a stand of tall, slender plants, and ho set a six-holed trap on the bot tom of tho cage. Something had eaten the seeds in tho bird's tiny vessels each night for a week, and though It washard to believe that vermin could scale tho lofty perch, it was still more unreasonable to suspect any othor pil ferer. The trap was a feint in tho dark. On the morning following the setting of tho trap tho gentleman's cleverness was rewarded with four dead mico in it. The thieves had reached the cage by climbing the swaying plants, leaping from tho pen dant tipe to its bottom, and then squeezing their bodies between the wires. Tho stand of plants was re moved, and thereafter tho canary granaries wore safo. CHEAP TICKETS. Cheap round trip excursion tickets on sale at Mo. P.

r THEFAIB. As the Horticultural Society has again taken the iniative Btcp toward a fair why can not the farmers and stockmen join heart and hand with them, for surely there is nothing more conducive to the 'interests of agricul turalists and stockmen, than a fair. There is nothing else that brings all farmers aDd stockmen in direct contact with each other. They each bring their products, showing and tell ing their experience which has more depth than volumes of printed matter to be scanned in a careless manner Then the recreation it affords all class es of people is only second to the knowledge and experience gained, A little boy on the fair ground last year remarked to another "Oh, Bill, this is 4th of July, Christmas and picnic all at once, give me another piece of that bologna." Let us have a fair by all means. Let thorfe interested speak out or confr with Mr. Pancoast or others directly interested. J. T. Tredway A RECEPTION.

The guests were received in the ete gant parlors of the Pennsylvania Cen tral. The time was spent in the usual manner, but, with an unusual amount of en6yment. Refreshments were Berved,after which various games were indulged in, aud "all went merry as a marriage bell," until the startling an nouncement that it was twelve o'clock The company dispersed at that late hour with many expressions of satis faction and gratitude, not only for the entertainment of the evening, but also for the willing and able assistance ren dered us by Prof. Umholtz in the work of the past year.

The next social of the Presbyterian church will be given.at Dr. J. W. Scott's on next Tuesday evening. Everi'body is invited to be present. A most enjoyable time Is anticipated. At the request of a number of citi zens there will be a meeting of the business men aud other interested, at the court house to-morrow (Saturday) evening, to complete arrangements in regard to a Fourth of July celebration. Memorial Day twas observed this year with increased interest. There never was a finer audience gathered in Iola, thau the one that'gathered in the A. O. U. W. Hall on last Thursday afternoon. The able and interestiug address of Rev. J. B. Ford, was listen ed to with tho closest attention and was frequently applauded- It was full of the true spirit of patriotism. Excellent music was furnished for the occasion. After tho exercises in the hall, an immense throng of people marched down to the cemetery, led by the members of the G. A. R. Then followed the Sons of Veterans, aud the C3le of the town and vicinity. The k Creek School came in a body with appropriate banners to participate in the parade and other exercises. The graves of the discensed soldiers had been previously marked and were all tastefully decorated, after which theG. A. R. servicea were pronounced by the chaplain and the usual salute was lired. This day furnishes an excellent op portunity for inspiring the j'oung with a spin t of true loyalty aud patriotism. It is with particular gratitication that we notice the mutual interest manifested between Humboldt and our city relative to educational mat ters. About fifty of our people went to Humboldt two weeks ago to witness tho commencement exercises of the Humboldt High School. Last Friday evening a large number of Humboldt people came up to attend the gradua ting exercises of our High School. Among the number were the follow ing: Messrs. James Flyun, Charles Chambers, J. Whittingtou, O. Divil biss, Cha. Nelle, Winnie Scott, John Squires, G. C. Barber, R. Drake, Jas. McKinlev, Howard Andrews, Jos. An drews. Frank Andrews, Jas Brady, Tom Noble, Misses Mamie Osborn, Mamie Drake, Carrie Noble, Katie Gallagher, Jessie Moore, Lina Kiui berlaiu, Mary Waggoner, Louie Wag goner, Ida Howland, Clara Smith, Willia Webster, Alfa Squire, Emma Wakefield, Lillie Webster, Lillie Grath, Annie Grath, Buttio Hotten stuin, M. E. Chamberlain, Grace Bar ber. Not a fit but an expression of deligt. "About a week ago," says a LosAnge les, Cal., druggist, "a Chinaman came in with a lame shoulder. I sold him a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm and guaranteed that it would cure him. He came iu again last night, and as soon as he got inside the door began to swing his arms over hi3 head like au Indian club swinger. I thought the blame fool had a fit, but he finally stopped long enough to say; "Medi cino volly fine; alio same make me feel plenty good." Chamberlain's Pain Balm, is without an equal for sprains, rheumatism, aches, pains or lame back. For Eale by all druggists. Win. Cutsinger and Wm. Radncr were arrested last week and brought before Justice Smeltzer, charged with assault upon Henry T. Howell. Cut singer was acquitted, but Radner was found guilty and fined $1 aud costs to be paid any time within ten days. Immediately after the trial tho defend ants took steps to have tho complain ing witness arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, whereupon tho latter proposed that if tins suit was dismiss ed he would pay the fiue nud costs that had becu assessed against Mr. Radner. This wa agreed to and it was so arrauged. So Mr. Howell has had the pleasure not only of being as saulted butof paying the fiue amount- in all to some j'J or too fellow who assaulted him. Mr. Moore, the postmaster at Brad- shaw, Va after read ins: an advertise ment of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dianhoea Reined', concluded to try a bottloof it. lie says: "X used it in two cases for colic and three for diarrhoea with perfect satisfaction. Ouo dose gave relief in every caso but one and that was n bad case of colic and required the secoud dose. I h:ivi bandied a great deal oi patent medi cine as agent and for my own use, but never tried any tunc gave as good re sults as "Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diorrhoea Remedy," For sale at 25 aud 00 cents per bottle by all drug gists. The county commissioners met as a board of cquilization on Monday and Tuesday. They increased the assess ment on hordes in J'Jim, iiumooiat ami Salem townships twenty per cent.; on cattle iu Humboldt city, forty per oeut; and on horses iu Humboldt city fifty per cent. The contract of furnish ing lumber for the improvement of the poor asylum was awarded to A. L. Taylor. Carl McMannus and Tecum eeh were released from Jail. Tho muic furnifiied at the Com mencement exercises, by the two choirs was especially good aud was not only well rendered, but it was fully appreciated by the large intelli gent audience, rue pans taKen oy Messrs. Port and Rodman.added much to the effect. Maude Richards aud Beulah Reimert always presido hand somely at the instrument. Wo sold finr retlilence property this week ta Mrs. Am.niJa bcrsnUn, ami we now occupy Ural property in tlio south part of town. Tho r.ict of the matter is, wojast li.nl tell, -ur turnips were gone, our money was sone ami onr credit was gone. 1 atri Center Democrat. And only lat week the Democrat, with its two contemporaries, was "get ting rich" from tho muniticeut patron age that came to them by reason of the rushing business doiug at Yates Cen ter! Isaac Beatty, of Piqua, aged thirty three years, who had been sick with consumption for a long time, died Saturday Jue 1. He was loved by his neighbors and will be greatlv missed by "the community and the Methodist church of which he was a member. His funeral sermon was preached at Piqua, June 2, by Rev. S. W. Gamble. The social given by the young mis sionaries at Lilly Casmire's on Tues day evening was a most enjoyable affair. The house was full to over flowing, but Miss Lilly, who knows how to please and entertain, was fully equal to the occasion. Every one present speaks in terms of highest praise of the youug missionaries. The vocal organs are strengthened by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Clergymen, lawyers, siugers, actors, and public speakers find this preparation the most effective remedy for irritation anl weakness of the throat aud lungs, aud for all affec tions of the vocal organs. 'My daughter was greatly troubled with Scrofula, and, at one time, it was feared she would lose her siht.

JOHNSTOWN'S WOE. Over Four Thousand Lives Lost !m the Disauter. Most Awful Scenes The Holocaust at i Bridge Some Alive In the Kulns The Woeful Damage Done, Pittsburgh. Pa Juno 3. The seen at Johnstown beggars description. Thou sands of sightseers and anxious friends are gathered about the devastated city and hundreds of wreckers are busily at work removing debiis and assisting the wounded. Five hundred men were at work on the railroad track nnd at eight o'clock yester day morning the first train passed over the road from Sang Hollow to Johnstown. It was received all along the line with cheers and shouts of encourage ment from who were watting, eager to obtain supplies contained in the relief trains, three Of which lay in Sang Hollow all night waiting to get through. The first train over tho reconstructed track was sent out by the citizens of Pittsburgh, and was manned by the Americus Club boys Captain A. J. Logan was in charge and was ably assisted by Jack Little, chief of the commissary department The train brought glad news and much needed re lief to hundreds of starving women and children. "God bless you," was enough to touch the heart of hardened cynics. Adjutant-General Hastings has estab lished headquarters in the city and has proceeded to deputize as many citizens as possible. The police were organized on the other side of the river and by ten o'clock the whole locality was fairly well patrolled. At two o'clock yesterday nf ter 1103H another squad of police came up from Pittsburgh, so that at present the plunderers have a hard time making any piOiress. It Is still impossible to give nny accu rate idea of the number of dead nnd no one places an estimate lower than 4.000. and reliable information tends to show that it will reach twice that Relief committees are well settled aiid nre doing big work. The press reliet committee and that of the Free Masonic order, which was first on the ground, reached Sang Hollow and pushed over almost Impassable ro ids to Kearnsvillo whre tho receiving depot was established at the hcue of Alexan der Kennedy, president of the Johnstown council. The amount of clothing and pro visions sent in. while very large, will only last a few days and more is needed at once. The waters are receding rapidly and by to-morrow or next day mostof the street- of Johnstown will be free from the flood. There is still a wild, surging stream (.eparating the two parts of the city, how ever, and it will be sevoral days before communication Is thoroughly established. Tho work of repairing the bridge is going on rapidly and it is expected that by Tuesday or Wednesduy trains will run across it THE UN buried dead. Johnstown, Pa., June 3. Three hun dred and twenty bodies nre lying just across the river In Indiana County. The real estimate of the number of dead can never be made. You can not turn up a log in Johntown without finding a body under it Five bolies were found in the upper floor of the club house. One of them. was a woman of fine appearance. There are at least 4.000 bodies in the 2,000 houses that aie btill burning. Blackened skulls nre Reen everywhere. The entire force of AVestern Union operators is among the lost. Eight bodies were found piled in a space five feet square. saw one hundred and tiiiiity drowned. Pittsburgh, Pa, June 3 A baggage man of the Peuus3lvanin railroad gives a graphic account of the disaster. His train had been stopped at New Florence, and while standing in his car door he saw one hundred and thirty persons drowned in Ies than twenty minutes. There wa a terrible current, a whirlpool in the river, nt this pjint, and as the people came to it they went down. The Balti more Ohio nnd Pennsylvania railroads are carrying supplies free of charge and nre doing every thing possible to relieve the sufferers. a horrible sight. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 3. The fire at Johnstown bridge where drift is burning has not been extinguished. The skulls of six peoplo can be seen sticking up out of tho luins above the bridge. Nothing but blackened kulls can be seen buried in the debris. There are supposed to bo several hundred bodies there. The whole thing will be blown up with dynamite. some yet alive. Pittsburgh, Pa., June 3. A member of the American Club, who has just returned here from Johnstown, states that there are still many people in the wrecked houes, and among the debris at the bridge who are still alive. One man was rescued alive from the water at the bridge late last night The idea that some of the unfortunate peoplo who are imprisoned nre still alive has created in tense excitement more especially as it was intended and preparations had been made to blow up the bridge with dynamite. The fire engines have just r ached the scene and begun to pour streams of water upon the burning mass. Grave fears are now entertained that un less this debris can be gotten rid of soon it will produce an epidemic as it is sup posed to contain a thousand bodies as well ns a large number of horses, cattle and hogs. the financial losses Johnstown, Pa., June 3. The financial losses by tho great flood will be $4').030t 030. This is the conservative estimate made yestorday by a body of business men. and it is not one dollar too high. As the water recedes the great ioss can be more clearly seen. Of this amount the Cambria Iron Company will lose at least $1,530,000. Their great iron plant :s almost a total wreck. One mill has been completely swept away, and the machinery in the others has been either ruined or carried away. The woodwork alone of $1,000,000 was burned last night It is now estimated from a careful survey of the flocd-d districts that at least 3,000 dwellings were carried away. The condition of political affairs in Italy promises to speedily develop results of great interest It is said that the pres ent ministry is nearing a fall, and that the policy of the new ministry will bo to break away from Germany and renew the old alliance with France. Italy has been committing mistake after mistake ever since Sedan, but her statesmen seem to have fully realized the sad plight of the country only when the returns of Italian trade for 18SS came to be published. They showed that the custom receipts for the year had tallen off over $12,000,000, and at the same time Italian exports had dimin ished by more than $23,000,000. It was impossible to prevent the people from jumping at the conclusion that this bad exhibit was a direct result of the abrogation of the French commercial treaty. That the Prime Minister himself believed the same thing, or at least thought it good policy to appear to be lieve it, is seen in his recent public an nouncement that, as far as he was con cerned, he would welcome any proposi tion coming from France, for a renewal of the treaty. In the Parliament Itself Crisp! had taken occasion to express the most friendly sentiments toward France. This does not mean, of course, a breaking off of the German alliance, but it indicates that the Italian Government recognizes the spreading popular sentiment against war and the heavy taxes involved in getting ready for war, together with the general lesire to avoid a quarrel with France. THE mmY.vIARKET MONUMENT. travailing of the Memorial to the Victims nf the Itorab-Tltrowinjr. Chicago. May 3L The monument In the Haymarket square, erected to the memory of the police who were killed in the famous Anarchist riot in 18S6, was n- valled yesterday. The ceremony took place at ten o'clock. Master Deegan, son of that unfortunate officer Who was killed on the spot unvailed the monument Mayor Creiger accepted on behalf of the city. Addresses were made by Mayor Creiger, F. H. Head and others. The monument is a beautiful one and will be universally voted to be an ornament to that part of the city. It consists of a pedestal of white granite, surmounted by a statue and other subordinate ornaments of bronze, the whole being something over twenty feet in height The pedestal is square, with the usual moldings, and rests on a circular base about fifteen feet across and two steps high. From the lower part of the pedestal two scrolls, or wings, run to the right and the left terminating in smaller pedestals on which are ornamented bronze lamp posts. On the front of the main pedestal there is to be a bronze shield. But the statue is the main feature. This repre sents a metropolitan policeman in uni form, standing with the right foot in advance of the other, the left arm by bis side and the right arm aud band raised aloft It is about one and a half times the natural size, and was modeled from Officer Lawrence Birmingham, the hand some policeman who helps the ladies across the dangerous thoroughfare at the corner of Madison and Clark streets. The statue was first placed fac 'ug the west and on the west side of tho ledestal. in gilt letters, are the words: "In tho name of the people of Illinois I command pence." On the eastern face, in similar letters, are the words: "Dedi cated by Chicago May 4, 1889, to thoir de fenders in tho riot of May 4, 1886 THE CHEROKEE STRIP. The Cherokee Indians at Variance Con cerning Its Male. Tahlec-Uah, L T May 31. Great dis satisfaction prevails all over the Nation regarding the position taken by Chief Mayes in regard to the negotiations for the sale of the Cherokee Strip, and it is now the talk of the day. Dissa'lsfaction prevails and many of the Chief's own party oppose his actions. Ho is very in dependent, however, and pays but very little attention to other views than those of himself. Colonel W. P. Ross, ex-Chief, and at present editor of the Indinn Arrow, ex presses his views as follows: "The Chief is very wrong in his idea of making a party issue of the Strip question, and no doubt he will fail in his undertaking. There are also questions of more impor tance in connection with this land ques tion which ought to be brought before the people. In regard to tho commission I would say that the Chief would have saved himself much criti cism had he assumed some' qualified posi tion in reference to the subject of calling an extra session of tho National Council for the purpose of providing competent authority to confer with the United States commissioners. The powerful government they represent want something done, and done at once, and the idea the Chief has that tho Council, which is, in fact, the people, ought not to be consulted about this very important matter is absurd." At the convention which has just closed for nominating members of the National Council for this district (Tahlf qnah), the men iu favor of selling wero left in the cold, nnd men were nominated who op pose selling the Strip under any circum stances. Those in favor of selling do not want less than $3 per acre for the land, and would like to sell for more. TRIPLE MURDER. William Strong Kills His Wire and a Neighbor and Ills Wire. Ellsworth, Kan., May 31. A terrible triple tragedy took place yesterday morn ing at Ducey, n small town on the Hue ol the St. Louis San Francisco road, between Wichita and this city..

William Strong, a man who has lived iu the town for some time, first killed his wife, and then going tc the house of a neighbor killed him and his wife. Tho names of the mur dered noigbbors wero not learned here. After tho killing Strong tool; to the prairie. A large posse, armed and some on horseback, followed in pursuit. So fat Strong has resisted every attempt at ar rest and keeps tho officers and citizens nt bay with a shotgun. He is well armed. The sheriff thinks ho is crazy and neither officers nor citizens feel liko .hooting him down or causing more bloodshed. Strong is not known to have had any motive for his rash deed. The onlv explanation is that the man is insane He was pursued for several miles until he finally under stand and has so far succeeded iu keep ing the officers at bay. If he does not surrender the only wny to capture him will be to shoot him down or wait and starve him out m Wan I'lKott "Itemoved?" New York. May 3L With the sensa tional mystery surrounding Cronin's death is revamped the story of Informer Pigott's tragic end. When he fled to Spain it was cabled that he had committed sui cide in preference to being assassinated. It was said he was found dead in his room at the hotel where he was stopping, with the top of his head blown off. By his side lay a revolver of heavy caliber, with which it was reported he had blown out bis brains. There are some Irishmen who take little stock In the suicide theory, and intimate Pigott as well as Cronin, met the fate of all traitors to their cause. The order had been issued for Pigott to be 're moved," and he was removed. m Captain of the Trenton Honored. Pottsville. Pa., May 31. Captain Nor man S.

INTER-STATE COMMISSION. Three or the Commissioners Visit Kansas City to Hear Cases. Kansas City, Ma. May 3L Judge T.M. Cooloy, chairman, and Commissioner William B. Morrison and W. 8. Bragg, of the Inter-State Commerce Commission, arrived In the city last evening, and are quartered at the Coates House. "We heard arguments in the Salina County case at Jefferson City yesterday morning," said Judge" Cooley to a reporter, "and came direct here. We adjourned the hearing of the complaints of the Chicago Board of Trade against the Western roads of alleged dis criminations in the rates for live bogs and pork to this city, in order that we might hear the evidence of the Kansas City packers in the case." The commission will convene at ten o'clock this morning in the United States Court room and hear any testimony that may be offered in the following cases: The Chicago Board of Trade against the railways running west from Chicago, in which the complaint is that rates upon live hogs and dressed pork between Kan sas City and Chicago are so adjusted as to discriminate against Chicago in favor of Kansas City, Omaha and other Mis souri river and Iowa points, in that the rates on live hogs are higher than those upon dressed pork. The second case is that of John P. Squires Co., of Boston, against the Michigan Central and other railways east of Chica go. This is a test case in which the com plaint is that the rates upon live-stock and dressed meats eastward from Chicago are so relatively adjusted as to discriminate against Boston in favor of Chicago in that the rates are higher on dressed meats than the rate on live-stock justifies. The third is another test case brought by Major Sanger, Inspector-General ot the United States, against the Southern Pacific Railway Company, in which Major Sanger complains of excessive passenger fare charged himself aud family on the Central Pacific railway, operated by the Southern Pacific Company. It is not likely that final action will be taken in any of these cases. It is hoped to get through all the testimony by this evening or to-morrow noon at the farth est STORM FATALITIES.

Woodruff; Driver of the Wagon, Make Confession of the Part he Took In the Cronin Murder The Tolls Tlhtenlnf Parties Indicted. Chicago, May 29. Frank Woodruff, alias Frank Black, has confessed to Cap tain Schaack the whole story of his con nection with Dr. Cronin's murder. Ac cording to the statements Woodruff has made to the Captain, he was not directly connected with the murder itself, but simply acted as the driver of the wagon which disposed of the dead mat's body in the catch bain where it was found. Woodruff has been taken to the scene of Cronin's murder and also to the sewer where the body was found and the place where the trunk vras first seen. He him self gave the driving directions to the de tectives who managed the reins, and In every instance located the exact places where the chief acts in the tragedy oc curred. According to his confession. Woodruff was directed by those who bad charge ot that part of the conspiracy, and whose names Captain Schaack reserves for rea sons that are palpable, to go to Dinan's livery stable, where he would obtain a horse and wagon. He bad already been nstructed to drive the outfit to the neigh borhood ot the Carlson cottage, and he also knew for what purpose he was to go there. Woodruff arrived at the cottage aboat twenty minutes before Dr. Cronin was driven up aud placed his horse and wagon at a point near the cottage, where he could keep his eyes on the front steps. He saw the white horse rig containing Dr. Cronin and his conductor arrive and three-quarters of an hour thereafter the man who was known as Williams opened the front door of the cottage and gave the signal by stamping his foot on the wooden porch. Woodruff at once drove up and assisted by the third man the trunk was loaded into the wagon. The two men followed the trunk and di rected Woodruff, who continued as the driver, to drive eastward to the lake to a certain point, which Woodruff has desig nated to Captain Schaack. The wagon was headed for the lake and in its depths the trunk and its contents would have been deposited had not the interrup tion come from the Lakeview police man. This destroyed the original plans, and immediate steps were taken to get out of the official's way. This was done by taking a circuitous route which again brought them to the Evanston road. They had now been driving for nearly an hour with their ghastly. load and one of the men suggested the sewer. A stop was made at the Fifty-ninth street inter section of the Evanston road. The top was taken off the manhole on the southeast corner and the trunk lifted from the wagon. It was then anew and unexpected difficulty presented itself. While it was possible to drop the trunk with the body into the lake, it became a physical impos sibility to thus dispose of the load in the manhole. It was resolved to take the body out ot the trunk, drop the body in the catch basin and return the trunk to the cottage and burn it 'But when the trunk was to be unlocked It was found that the key had been lost Williams said there was no more time to be lost and he kicked in the lid of the trunk. The three lifted the body out and deposited it in the sewer as it was found. The trunk was again placed on the wag on. It was intended to go south for a dis tance and then to drive north to the cot tage aud there deposit the trunk. "Right here." said Woodruff to Captain Schaack, pointing to the exact spot where the trunk was found, "we heard the noise of wagon wheels from the south and two men, ono nf whom had been setting on the trunk, picked it up and threw it out of the wagon. I was urged to whip up the horse and drive west When we reached Fuller ton avenue both men said good night to me and left tho wagon." before the grand jury. Chicago. May 29. Detective Daniel Coughlin, Patrick O. Suliivan. the iceman, and Frank J. Black, alias Woodruff, were indicted by the grand jury last evening for the murder of Dr. Cronin. This result was reached after an investigation which bad begun at noon and lasted seven hoirs, during which two dozen wit nesses were examined and a mass of evi dence considered. The three prisoners were included in one indictment to which there were three counts one charging them with killing Dr. Cronin with a blunt instrument; the second, alleging the use of a sharp instru ment and the third, instruments and means unknown. No evidence was introduced to prove a conspiracy and Dr. Cronin's private pa pers were not placed before the grand jury. The witnesses who were called were those whose stories have been told in gen eral outline if not in detail iu the press. Jude Long-necker thought it advisable to tighten the coils into which the three prisoners had already been drawn and fasten them with indictments, probably to prevent any effort to secure the release ot one or more of them on bail. The grand jury took only one vote after bearing the witnesses and that was unan imous for indicting all three prisoners. State's Attorney Longenecker said that no mention of Clan-na-Gael affairs had been made in the jury room. 'Thecbarg6 of conspiracy was not investigated," he added, "and Mr. Cronin's papers were not brought in. Those matters will come later, probablv before auother grand jury." The two warrants for Daniel Coughlin and P. O. Sullivan are not the only ones that have been issued in the case. Eight other warrants were placed in the hands of detectives and taken to different parts of the city and Lakeview. The detectives immediately began to shadow eight dif ferent suspects. The warrants are not intended for use save in such emergency as would arise from an attempt of any of the men to leave the city. Nobody is any longer discussing the possibility of the prisoner Coughlin "squealing." The ex-detective has plainly defined his platform. Upon being urged to tell all he knew he replied in these words: 'I am inncc;nt and know nothing. But if I were guilty and did know nnv thing. I would die before I would tell it" Fatal Collision. Bridgeport, Conn., May 29. Two freight trains going in opposite directions collided nt Bull Station at 4:30 o'clock yes terday morning. Both engines were crushed into a shapeless mass, five cars were reduced to kindling wood and nine cars were derailed. William B. Look, of Great Barrington. Mass., engineer of the up train, was crushed to death. Charles Olds, a brake man on the same train. was terribly crushed and died in a few minutes after the collision. John La mente, of West Stockbridge, a brakeman, jumped as the trains came together. His left ankle was crushed. James McDer mott, enineer of the down train, had his shoulder dislocated. Lumber listen. Chicago, May 29. Chairman Walker, of the executive board of the Inter-State Commerce Railway Association, has pre pared the decision of the board in tho ap peal ot the Chicago Alton and the Chi cago, Burlington Quincy on the question ot reducing the lumber rate between Chicago and Southwestern Missouri river points. Chairman Walker declined to ciake the decision public. There is i:ood authority for the statement, however, that it is adverse to the applica tion of the two roads and refuses to au thorize the proposed reduction. It is ap prehended that with this decision the troubles of the Inter-State Commercial Railway ssociation will begin in earnest T h V J Av .Jarf'Vs A r-wf,.

Bow and Why He Stole His Own Pockot-Book. Wo had gathered a class of boys to gether in the- suburbs of a great city, hoping to make them better. Baits had been thrown out in the shape of Chrwtmas festivals, magic lanterns, concerts and library books, in order that they might take their moral and religious instruction as children take pills in raisins, without knowing it Most of us were young, all were zeal ous, and we found the path stony. It was very trying to find "swear words'1 on the black-board, where a selection from the Psalms was to be written every Sunday afternoon; to know that the truth was not to be expected from any of those young lips, and to have our pockets picked, or the' cash-box rifled of money with which wo intended to buy shoes for the barefooted and hats for the hatle-s; and once when we had spoken of these things to an old gentleman who visited us, we evoked a sermon on dishonesty which certainly thrilled that roomful of street Arabs, and turned their thoughts to better things, at least for the time being. After the boys had gonv, we flocked about the old gentleman a rich manu facturer from the West and thanked him. Ho had painted the careor of a thief from the moment he first took to pilfering to tho hour on which theft led to murder and the galiows. all in plain, unaffected language, but so thrillingly that we had been tinned to tears. When we complimented him ho smiled strangely, as we thought. "I spoke from experience. I know how a thief feels. I am telling the truth, as you will seo when you have heard me. "Once upon a time, instead of being an old man. with white hair, I was a young fellow, with yellow curls all over my head, and very much in love with a pretty girl of sixteen. "Our parents were entirely opposed to our marriage. They were deadly enemies. It was a regular Romeo and Juliet affair. Capulet and Montague never hated each other worse than our fathers did. And so. after trying 4in Tain to soften their hearts, we ran away and were married. "I had two hundred dollars of my own. and she had seventy-five cent? in a blue bead purse of her own knitting. We went to board in a quiet littlo house, where they took a few young clerks to breakfast and tea, and had but one mar ried couple besides ourselves. And I went forth to get employment I found it very much harder to get any than I had supposed; but after awhile I w as in receipt of ten dollars a w eek, and felt very independent Wo were extren.cly happy, although we had been used to luxuries of all sorts; and I had resolved never to appeal to my father for aid. In fact, wo got on nicely for more than a year, v hen our troubles began altogether. Wo had left tho boarding house, and hired a room and kopt house. There was a littlo baby in the family, and naturally our small savings had been taken from the bank. What with housework and caring for the child, my wifo was beginning to look worn and palo and a littlo unhappy; and I was taken ill, and was too -sick to leave my bed for two weeks. I had written to explain why I was absent, but when I was able to get to tho office again I found another man at my desk. "The manager was sympathetic but said it would be unjust to dismiss the new clerk, and that ho had no powerto add to tho number. 'However,' ho said, if you can seo Mr. ho may do so. Two or three moro clerks are needed, but he's try ing to get tho work out of those already hero. Now, if you state your case to him, he may make an act of charity of tho affair, and do what he ought to do. Business is often delayed for the want of extra pons.' "I did not like that expression, an act of charity,' and preferred to find another place, but there seemed to bo none for me. I was in despair. Every day I cut from tho papers many adver tisements for clerks, and went to the addresses given. I always found myself ono of a crowd, and an unlucky one. At last a terrible day arrived, when we found ourselves penniless and without credit My wifo had sold her jewelry bit by bit; my watch was gone, and vfc had not a cent "Then I resolved to beard the lion in his den to ask Mr. to replace me in his office. I strove to got an audi ence all day, and at last stood on the steps before which his carriage was drawn up. I heard his step in the pas sage. He appeared; I stepped forward. -Mr. said I. "'I haven't time to talk to you now,' said he. 'It is a matter of life and death, sir, for me,' I pleaded. 'How?' said he. 'I am your discharged clerk,' I be gan. Tm aware of that' ho replied, cold ly. 'For good reason, doubtless.' "I was ill,' said L 'No fault was found with me. I returned to my place, and 'Of course it was filled.' he inter rupted. 'If young men would lead sober lives, they would not bo ill. I never am.' 'I caught cold from a broken pane of glass in your office, sir,' said L 'My wifo and child literally have nothing to cat I' It will teach you to be moro eco nomical,' said he. "Ho took out his pockotrbook and opened it It was stuffed full of bills of large denominations. 'Is he going to offer mo charity?' thought I. My blood boiled, yet I said to myself: 'He means it kindly, and for Laura's sake I will not refuse.' "But all ho did was to take out a small key, which ho slipped into an outer pocket of his overcoat 'If you could give mo employment, sir,' I said, I should bo very grateful.' 'I can't create clerkships,' ho said. Thero aro ten clerks in the office, and they must do my work.' "He entered tho carriage. As he did so 1 saw a pocket-book lying on tho sidewalk a plethoric thing, round with its contents. 'Ho has dropped it' I said to my self. "Tho instincts of a gentleman prompted me to pick it up and restore it but tho hungry man, who know his wifo was starving, covered it with his foot The carriage drove off. I was alone in that quiet side street No ono saw me. I picked up the pocket-book, thrust it into my bosom and took to my heels like a pickpocket. "I teached my poor little homo as one might in a bad dream. I opened the dour. To my astonishment, a table was spread with a dainty repast My wife, tearful, and yet smiling, dandled the baby, and near tho firo in the little grate, which had been cold when I left liome, stood two men my father and Laura's. 'Oh, Harry!" cried my w ifo, 'I wrote without telling you, and they have for given us. We aro waiting supper for you. I am so happy! so happy!' "I kissed her. I shook hands with her father; my own actually wept on my shoulder. I knew that my troubles were over, but my heart remained as heavy as lead within my bosom. Tho hideous sense of shame that had fallen upon me from the moment I picked up that pocket-book was with me stilL wax a Uiicf. J a thief! "To be sure, I could return tho money. I could send it back to Mr. B but had I found my home foodless and tire less I should have used the stolen money, like any other thief. "I sat at the littlo banquet, silent and moody. 'He has suffered so much,' said my wife. "My father pressed my hand. 'It is all over now, Hal,' said he. "But I felt the pressure of that pleth oric pocket-book against my chest and the weight of theft upon my soul. "In the midst of the meal there was a knock at the door. I opened it The private watchman from Mr. 's stood there. I said to myself: 'My theft in known; 1 am to be ar rested.' 'Don't speak before them.' 1 whis pered, stepping into the hall and shut ting the door behind me. 'Mr. asked me to call,' said he. 'I live down here a bit further. Ho says that young Perkins is going to leave, and if you are on hand at seven Monday, ho'll put you in. He didn't know about Perkins when you were there.' '"Thank you,' said I; 'but I am fixed, 1 think.' -That's good,' said he. "1 rejoiced, but still I felt like a thief. 0h! if the pocket-book was only on its way home! "I determined to take it at once to the e-vprcss office. I had a piece of brown paper in my pocket, and some cord; they would seal it at the office. I could direct it there. "I sat down on' tho upper step, put the pocket-book from my bosom. I would not oven open it I But how familiar that pocket-book looked! I turned it over. On a silver plate upon the back a name was engraved my own! "It was my pocket-book that I held in my band. The solo relic of those days when all my littlo belongings were handsome. I opened it It was full of newspaper advertisements and the cards of business men. I thrust my hand into my bosom again. There was nothing else there.

Froni the Medlterranran by Way of Lake Galilee to Damascus. If the Turkish Government consents it is probable that Palestine will bo in vaded by locomotives, and that beforo long tho conductor will havo an oppor tunity of calling out "Galilee; all out for Galilee," and in good Turkish, "Damascus passengers will please re tain their scats until tho train comes to a full stop." Application has been made by Joseph Elias, formerly Gov ernment engineer of tho Lebanon, for a concession for a railway from Haifa on the Mediterranean, about midway be tween Tyro and Caisarea, by way of Lake Galileo, over the Iliver Jordan to Damascus. Authority for tho naviga tion of tho lake and a priority of right for the extension of a lino ovor any other applicant for three years is asked for. Tho lino is to follow the river Kishon for six miles, going within three and three-quarter miles of Nazareth, and then ascending tho valley to tho water sheds of tho Jordan. Tho line will proceed along the northwest of tho lake, closo to tho plan of Genesnrot up the Jordan, crossing it two miles below Merim. From that point tho line turns toward the east to Damascus, a distance of 105 miles from tho coast. A branch lino will go to Naoua, the capital of tho Hauran, with an option to continuo on to Bosra, tho ancient capital of Bashan. Permission is also asked to go on with the Palmyra into Aleppo. The practical part of Mr. Elias' ap plication is interesting. Ho estimates the population to bo served at half a million or about fivo thousand to tho mile. Damascus has about two hun dred thousand inhabitants, and thero are ten towns with from one thousand to ten thousand inhabitants and about fivo thousand and forty villages. Al though the district is very fertile, only one-sixth of tho arablo land is under cultivation. Thero is an abundance of streams, however, so that tho country could be easily irrigated. Naturally cereals are the principal produce, but cotton can be grown and silk worms reared. The cultivation of sugar cane was undertaken thero by the Crusad ers. Indigo grows wild, licorico is plentiful, fruits aro largely exported, und olives are abundant Tho country is rich in bitumen, coal, iron and sul phur, and it abounds in forests of oak, pine and poplar. Although it now costs at least half tho value to bring the cereals to the sea, tho export is fully 90,000 tons. If tho concession is granted Mr. Elias will construct the 130 miles proposed to bo buit at first for 640,000 to 680.000. Ho calculates modestly on 43.000 through passengers a year at about three cents a milo, or 16f. 70a, or about $3 for 105 miles, and 30,000 local passengers at the samo rate. Freight is expected to pay about four conts per ton per mile, or about fivo or six times what Western railroad commissioners consider a high rate. Even at this rate there will be a much larger profit to the farmer than at present and tho profit on tho actual cost is figured at 17 1-2 to 18 1-2 per cent A consider able amount of corroboratory informa tion is given. More than ten years ago Major Contlor advocated the construc tion of a railroad on this line. Law rence Oliphant says that 4.000 or 5,000 camel loads of grain arrive at Acre and Haifa daily during tho season. Flour gtound at Damascus is of very superior quality. Even with this primitive method of communication 675,352 bush els of wheat and barloy wero exported from Acre and Haifa and 243. 130 pounds of olive oil in 1877. The proposed lino will also cross the pilgrim road to Mec ca a little above Mezarib. Mr. Julius V. Milingten. of tho Im perial Ottoman Bank of Constantinople, is interested in the scheme, and it is believed that the concession will soon be put up for sale, in which event it is net at all impossible that American capitalists may become interested. N. Y. Mail and Express. It was not many years ago that tho cotton wood treo was considered use less for tho purposes of lumber. To day it is crowding white pine out of the market for certain purposes, and large fortunes are being made all along the Mississippi river out of this wood, which was as much despised in that field as a garfish always has been among fishermen. In New Orleans white pine is worth 35 a thousand, while yellow cotton wood brings $63. A famous stone mountain is in De Kalb County, Georgia. It is a huge mass of granito rising almost perpen dicularly to tho height of 2,220 feet It is seven milis in circuit.

The Dragon's Teeth They Have Sown by Appealing to Race Prejudice. The murder of A. M. Neely is the last of the political assassinations in Ar kansas. Mr. Neely was a Republican. Tire story of tho murder of a Demo crat by Republicans, sololy because they were Republicans while he was a Democrat, has yet to bo written; no such crime has been recorded in any Southern State. l Neely not only was a Republican but also a colored man. A "regular Re publican ticket" was in the field; the election for school directors; the can didates on the regular Republican ticket wero white men. Neely was dissatisfied and became "a bolter." He sought the election of a ticket upon whish the candidates should not only be Republicans. but colored Republicans. In this he acted foolishly, and if he strove, as is said, to inilauio race prejudice, then ho acted like a dangerous demagogue. But dangerous demagogues aro not to bo suppressed by murder. In Chicago when the Anarchists or Socialists put a ticket in tho field tho conservative element does not resort to the assassi nation of tho radical leaders. All tho law-abiding and law-loving peoplo lay party differences aside for awhile and unito for the defeat of tho danger ous element, and they always succeed. A unfon of whito Democrats and Re publicans, plus tho legitimate influence which superior wealth and education can bring tr benr upon tho interests or reason of tho colored vote, will sel dom fail in tho defeat of any attempt toward "negro supremacy" in the South. Tho Inter Ocean voices tho opinion of tho great Republican ma jority in tho Northern tier when it de clares itself as hostile to black su premacy a3 to white supremacy. It holds guilty each and all who strive to embitter Southorn politics and to divert attention from the great eco nomic Issues of the time by revival or creation of race prejudice. It Neely strovo to array the blacks against tho whites, to create "a black man's gov ernment," he wns just as guilty of treason to tho best interests of so ciety and to purity of government as are those gentlemen who havo striven to array tho whites against the blacks and to create a "whito man's govern ment;'' not more, not less. But tho fit punishment of such turpitude i3 not death by assassi nation. No Republican has advocated tho murder of that Governor of a Southern Stato who made tho boast that tho success of tho Democratic party was tho result of "violation of tho constitution of tho United States and of violation of the constitution of this Stato." Every Republican in the Union would regard such a murder as infamous, and would insist upon tho arrest, conviction und execution of tho murderers. It also is to be borne in mind that if there had been no boasts of determination to establish "a whito man's government" upon tho suppressed or intimidated voto of a colored majority there would have been no retaliatory demand for a black man's tickot to bo forced by a vengeful majority upon a reluctant minority. Wo often havo warned the w hito oligarchs of tho South of the danger of sowing dragon's teeth broad cast And it is also to bo borno in mind that as the Democrats themselves admit, tho negro is not headstrong or malicious; he is docile and grateful; this is Southern testimony. But not een tho most docile and grateful raco can bo violontly goadod forever with out kicking against tho goadors. If whitos band against the blacks they must expect blacks to band against tho whites; it is inevitablo that it should bo so. But wo are convinced that, oven whero tho colored voters aro largely in tho majority, a conciliatory policy on tho part of tho whites, a policy which enlists the intelligence) of tho leaders of tho colored people, a policy which aims at plentiful education. good roads, low taxes und diversified industries for all would prevent tho nomination, or at any rate tho elec tion, of colored men's tickets. Un fortunately, such a policy has never been tried in tho South. Tho white oligarchs have sown dragon's teeth by appealing to race prejudice. Chicago Inter Ocean. MUGWUMPS MOURNING. Lamentations Not likely to Ceate Until a Democrat Is Klrctod. Tho sorrow of tho mugwump over tho fact that tho present National Administration is Republican is tho only mournful sound these days. This grief is all the moro hopeless because the mugwump mado up his mind to be unhappy long beforo the Inauguration of President Harrison. Ho said, in ef fect, last fall that if tho country would persist in electing the candidate whom lie opposed, that tho country might go to tho devil. This was a hard blow to the country, but nevertheless it de cided to celebrate the beginning of a 6econd century of the Republican ex periment and to keep up appearances a little longer, in tho hope that the mugwump will relent But will tho mugwump relent? Frankly, we do not believe that he will. A human being who was able to uphold Mr. Cleve land's failures aud commend his sort of Civil-Service reform, doubtless will be able to find fault with another Pres ident during an equal length of time. Four years is not a long period of dumps for the mugwump, and since he has elected himself chief mourner at the demise of the Democracy, his baying, probably, will be heard at every full moon from now to 1893. It is a comforting thought that every body, including the mugwump, is in the joke, but the rest of us will never believe that the great political humor ist appreciates to tho full how funny he can be. For example, there is the Bishop of New York vho refused to be happy during the centennial, but pr ached at a public thanksgiv ing service on the dangers to the Republic, which he has dis covered in immigration and the rule of tho majority. Of course, these dangers never having been thought of before, it was wise to warn the public of them while there were strangers in town, in otder that tho information might travel to Harrisburg, Albany and the other sutposts of civilization, by word of mouth, there being no othor way to spread the news in these primitive times. If the good Bishop had gone over to the East-side tene ment district after his jeremiad, he would have found that if bunting is any indication of loyalty, tho poor and tho foroign-born residents of New York are among the most patriotic of our citizens. We have improved our patriotism in some respects since Washington was inaugurated. Even the religious denomination to which the Bishop of New York belongs was a Tory sect a hundred years ago, and bitterly opposed both inde pendence and union. It is loyal now. But thero wero othor dangers and other fault-finders in plenty a century ago. Small critics assailed tho fathers of the Republic then, just as the mugwump now pitches into the persons who aro unfortunate enough to havo incurred his contempt by not agreeing with him. If we patriots aro looking for somebody to find fault with over tho contennial, why not condemn tho owner of a whito stone palace in Fifth avenue who put a wooden jacket over tho accessible parts of his resi dence to keep the public off carving which cost a stone-cutter his eyes, but who forgot to swing out tho stars and stripes in honor of Washington? Office-seekers and immigrants do not constitute the only dangers of a ropub lic. Time. THE WOOL TARIFF. Results of the Tinkering of 1883 on Amer ican Sheep Husbandry. The new Agricultural Department has just published the annual report of the number of sheop in each State and Territory of the Union on January 1 last Below is given a table which has been prepared for the purpose of showing the effect of tariff legislation upon the sheep industry of the United States. The first column shows the number of sheep in each State and Territory by the census of 1860, under tho low tariff of 1857, which was taken one year before the Morrill (protect ive) tariff began its operations. The second column shows the number in 1880, according to the census. In 1883 the wool tariff was reduced, and tho third column gives the number of sheep at the first enumeration there after. The fourth column is the re port for January 1 last The States aro arranged in sections, with totals for each section, for con venience of comparison. A compar ison of the figures for any State or Territory or of the totals for any sec tion, between the first two columns, shows the effect of protection for the twenty years from 1860 to 1880; be tween the second and third columns the effect of four years of protection; between the third and fourth, the re sult of lower prices for wool conse quent upon tho reduction of duties. It will be seen that thero was a steady increase in the greater number of States up to 1881. and that Since then thero has been a great decrease, save in localities whore the enormous in crease of the farming population has been so great as to overcome this.

Peoria (UL) Journal. A SUFFRAGE DEBATE. The Rising Generation Speaks for Wom an's Enfranchisement Wisdom From the Jloutlis of llabes. A recent letter from Harrisonburg, Va., to the Woman's Journal, contains the following: "Your readers may liko to hear how Intorest in tho cause is waking up in a Virginia village, or, rather, to wntch the course of a straw to show which way tho wind blows. "I attended a few week ago, a meet ing of a cooking club, the members of which, half a dozen young girls, pre pare a dainty littlo supper and invited their boy friends to spend an evening enjoying tho companionship of the young cooks, and eating tho fruit of their industry. The meetings aro mor ry littlo affairs, and it would be hard to find a brighter set of young peoplo than tfioso gathered at tho fortnightly reunions of tho F. C. C. C On tho evening of which I speak, after the ordinary amusements at a children's party had been exhausted, debates wore proposed. Tho idea was eag erly taken up, and brief debates wero held on several of the questions dear to the hearts of school boys and girls, such as. 'Kesolved, that the execution of Andre Aas un justifiable.' Ono of the girls proposed a suffrago debate, and, though tho young lords of creation scoffed at tho suggestion at first, it was agreed upon; the question was duly drawn up, 'Resolved, That the right of suffrage should bo extended to womon,' and three judges, ono girl and two boys, wero appointed. Tho speakers on tho affirmative wore two girls of fifteen and thirteen, their opponents being boys of corresponding ages. "Tho older girl opened the debate, making 'taxation without representa tion1 her battle-cry. Her earnestness was amusing, for she began to speak beforo she hod taken her stand on the improvised platform, and when the threo minutes allowed for the opening speech were up, she left her place re luctantly, speaking still as she quitted tho stand. "The reply of tho first speaker on the negative was a clever enough address for the youthful advocate of a weak cause, but tho old arguments of 'neg lected homes,' 'rowdy polls,' 'Inferior intelligence,' etc., seemed very trying to the young suffragists. When ho took his seat tho second speaker on tho affirmative rose, her brown oyes flash ing, a brilliant color in her cheeks, her figure drawn to its full height 'Infe rior intelligence' had proved too much for her. She poured out upon her boyish antagonist a flood of statistics that astonished him; then a list of fa mous woman authors, doctors, preach ers, artists, poets, lawyors, lecturers. Evidently this young advocate of the causo understood her subject "Tho second speaker on the negative spoko with less assurance than his 'col league,' as ho called his boy compan ion, but said that ho wanted to ask ono question: 'Would his honorable op ponents voto if thoy could?' Instantly, both girls sprang to thoir feet, forget ful of parliamentary rules, and answer ed in a breath, ono quoting Grnco Greenwood's spirited answer to the samo question, tho other saying, 'Would wo voto if wo could? Would it not be strange if wo didn't, whon our daily prayer and brightest hopo is that this right may bo granted us?' Tho young speakers wero called to order, and time for a rejoindor offered tho negative side, which was refused; and the case was given to the judges. Thoy unanimous ly decided in favor of tho affirmative, and their decision was recoived with great applause. Ono of the girls asked ono of the judges if ho was in favor of suffrage. 'I should think so,' answered tho boy earnestly. 'I hope, pray and believe that suff r.tgo will bo given to wo men in all civilized countries in five years. Amen, so be it! FROM THE CREATION. The Itondage of Woman an Impediment to Iter DrTelopment In Knowledge. Poor Eve! she wanted to bo wise; but she did not desire to be tho only wise one in tho family; she gave also unto her husband. Tho serpent, the most subtle of all the beasts, seemed to know which of tho two most desired knowl edge Wo can not defend Eve for her disobedience and theft, but do we not sympathize with her keenly In her de siro for moro knowledge? And how severely she has been punished and her daughters, even down to the present time! The husband, with whom sho had generously shared tho fruit that was to mako them wise, did not hesi tate on tho very first opportunity to drop tho rolo of protector and turn State's evidence Here he got the up per hand over woman and has kept it ever since. Ho has been afraid she would want more knowledge and get into more mischief, and so he has put limitations here, there and everywhere; physical, mental and moral limitations. Forty years ago a few women who had somehow becomo good and brave and strong in spito of these limitations, feel ing that Eve's daughters had been suf ficiently punished for their mother's sin, gave voice to tho feeling of injus tice within them, and asked that these limitations be removed. Since that time many women and somo men have joined in making the demand that jus tice be done to women, and they be given the same liberty as men to devel op the powers God has given. But it is asked, do all women want this liber ty? Alas, the answer must be "No." Many have all their lives worn the bonds, and think they would be uncom fortable without them. Others do not think women are yet prepared for per fect freedom. They wade in the shal low streams of literature, but they must learn how to swim before they go near the deep waters of religion and politics. Can a full-grown person learn to swim in water a foot deep? Is it not possible for women at once to do away with all tho artificial and arbitrary lim itations which impede the vigorous growth and symmetrical development of our sex? Surely the obstacles which nature presents are all-sufficient, and we may trust God to deal wisely with his children. He needs not any inter ference from us. Woman's Journal.

Happy the wife who has a husband who appreciates the part she has in making the home the part he can not perform and for which money can not pay. Yet many good and othorwise sensible women do not feel free to use tho family funds as they do tho smaller sums they are able to earn themselves, oven when the husbands are ready to acknowledge their equal right in tho family purse. It may be partly the fault of the wife. If she allows herself to ask as a favor what is already her own, she places herself In a wrong posi tion. Her husband does her no favor in permitting her to buy thoir children's clothes or her own. Yet often one would supposo so from the grudging mannor in which he will ask if some small sum will not be enough. Thero are honorablo exceptions many of them and one good man has often been heard to refer to his immense indebted ness to tho wife who has worked for her bread and clothes so many years, when, had her services been paid for as housekeeper, cook, dressmaker, tailor and maid-of-all-work. she would now bo in comparative wealth. Mutual love and a common intorest make every privation endurable; and there should be no thought of "mine" and "thine" on cither sido. Then if proper provi sion is made for the wife in case sho bo left alone, sho will not have to reflect as many a sorrowing widow has done, on the injustice that deprives her of entire control of the home sho has had an equal or harder share in earning and making comfortable. So long as tho law does not do justly to women, every man should provido for his own wife. Rural New Yorker. Entitled to Vote. The general argument for letting wo men voto, says A. S. Blackwell, in Woman's Journal, is tho same as the argument for having a re publican form of government rather than a monarchy. It is fair and right that those who are to obey the laws should have a voice in making them, and that those who pay taxes should have a voice as to tho amount of the tax and the way in which it shall be spent The fundamental principle of a republican government, roughly stated, is this: In deciding what shall be done, where everybody's interests aro con cerned, we take everybody's opinion, and go according to the wish of the majority. As we can not suit every body, wo do what will suit the greatest number. That seems to be, upon tho whole, the fairest way. A vote is merely a written expression of opinion. It is written down and put into a box. so that it can be counted. In thus taking the sense of the com munity, certain classes of persons are always passed over, whose opinions, for one reason or another, are not thought worth counting. The laws of different States differ, but all agree in excluding minors, idiots, lunatics, felons and wo men. There are good and obvious reasons for all these exceptions but the last It is evident that tho opinions of childron ought not to be counted, nor thoso of idiots, lunatics and criminals. Is thero any equally good reason why, in reckoning up the opinions of the community, no account should be taken of tho opinions of women? If not, they ought to bo allowed to vote. ITEMS FOR WOMEN. TnE Women's Anthropological So ciety of America, tho first purely scien tific society directed exclusively by women, was organized In Washington in June, 1885, and has since held fort nightly meetings from November to May. It now has three honorary, eleven corresponding and forty-six active members. California has abolished the exclu sion of women from voting for school trustees. California has 158,360 square miles and 1,350.000 people (official esti mate). The "woman suffrage belt" is enlarged to 2,788.000 square miles, and now includes tho wholo Pacific coast from Mexico to Alaska. Twenty-five out of forty-five States and Territories have now enacted some form of woman suffrage. In Sioux County. N. J., the other day, certain local politicians tried by sharp practice to prevent the election of a woman as school trustee, the clerk whose duty it was to call the meeting staying away. Miss Rose Morrow, ono of tho candidates present, said tho elec tion should bo held, and called the meeting herself. At this the farmers wero so well pleased that they elected her school trustee and district clerk be sides. It is estimated that there are 2.500 women in the United States who hold diplomas from medical colleges, either American or foreign. Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, who graduated in 1848. is said to be the first woman doctor. The first one in Sweden is Karolina Wider strom. who has recently been engaged by the Thule Life Insurance Company to examine women who wish to insure their lives.

'--y THE OTHER SIDE. How Tho Soldiers Amused Themsel ves Sorlnir The "War. Description of a Riot in Richmond. Mora About Southern Prisons. As the editor seems anxious to know what was going on in Rich' mond during the rebellion, for he says he has heard often enough of what was done outside, I will attempt in this communication to tell him and some of his readers of the most important thines that took place In that town during thatunpleasantuess, and while the writer was camped near by and was a visitor in that city. You, Mr. Editor, and your many readers must excuse me from telling in this, all that I know concerning this wonderful and historic town and its dninge, during those long renum bered years, for I am satisfied that n port of it would not prove interesting. It is i-iiougli to say that il ns well as all other largo towns aud cities was full of russedness and vice of all sorts. Gambling dens were kept open at all points and' as the city was full of sol diers and skulking humanity of all s-orts, the police were kept busy botli day and night clearing the streets. Whisky flowed freely on every cor ner aud it was no unusal sight to see men shoot and cut each other to piec es in the sidewalks in broad daylight. Among other modes of gamblig wn that of cockiighting. This was a very popular amusement among the fast voting men in the South. The fights took nlace in the oock-nita every b ri day evening, and thousands of people attended them anu nunureasoiaoiiars was bet on a Hiugle cock-fight. 1 at tended two or three of these, but in this as well as all other gambling, fraud is practiced, and when these Southern bloods saw that they were beaten it was more thau they could stand and bloodshed was the next tiling resorted to. It is surprising to see the judgment that these birds will exercise in battle aud how quick one of them will cut the craw outof anoth er. At the last one of these battles that I attended one of these cocks cut the craw out of the other the first pass he made at him, having been provid ed with a pair of steel spurs or gaffs as sharp as needles, and when this was discovered by the owner of the slain bird a bloody fight between them took place In which one killed the other by f tabbing him eleven times with a long dirk. Another amusement among the fast young men of the city was thatof dog fighting, upon which they also bet big moni'y. And when they got two large old English bull dogs yoked in battle the excitement ran hty h. They made but little noise, but each got his death-grip and generally held fast till life was extinct. As the war went on the necessities of life became very scarce and hard to get, and every means was resorted to especially by the poor working class to gain a livelihood. In fact men and women who never did mean things be fore did them now, and it was unsafe for even a soldier to be alone on the streets after dark for if 6ome man"did not choke or knock you down some butterfly woman would. It was about this time, the latter part of '63 that the working women of the city rose in one mighty army and rushed into the streets and took what ever they could get their bands upon and rolled or dragged It away to their homes aud little ones. They number ed thousands and many of them car ried pistols in their hands and used them on the guards, several of whom were killed. There were also several women killed but they were masters of the situation. The writer happened to be In the city on that very day and was an eye-witness to the charge. However we watched their movements from around the rorner of a warehouse for when a women takes a notion to do a thing and gets m dead earnest the men will always do well to stand back and let her do it. And it was funny. It also reminded me of so many turn-ble-bugs to see them moving barrels of flour and rice and dragging sacks of coffee, dried fruits, beans, honey and other articles along the sidewalks. It was here, and the very n-xt day after this riot that I first heard the Vice president of the Southern Confed eracy 01 ate. lie spoKe from the bat cony of the capital to at least ten thou sand people, for three hours. lie told us the war would soon end, and drew a fine, imaginary picture of the sol diers of the south returning home to their friends, crowned with victory and glory. lie opened up all the sea ports by removing all of Uncle Sam's blockade and brought in ship loads of all the necessities or life from every kingdom of the earth. He carried the whole audience with him through his oratory until there did notappear to be a dry eye in the entire assemblage. Old hard-hearted soldiers were seen to i rise up, wrins their hands and shed tears freely. Stevens was certainly a man of wonderful brain. And now Mr. Editor, before we leave Richmond, allow me to speak a word in regard to prison life here in Rich mond. As I am a representative of the other side, I wish to do justice to them and all other parties, and let me ay in this article that I frequently visited the prisons here, of both the union and rebel troops and I can truth fully say that I never saw a particle of uinerence made in the treatment of the two parties. There might have been a uitierence, but if so I can testify that it never came under my observation. I have been treated very kindly by the people of this western country dur ing my stay of nineteen years among them, and I can say that I have been especially well treated by the G. A. R. organization, of Iola and vicinity, for which I feel very proud and thankful. Rut there is one thing for which I am not to blame at all, and which I 'had nothing to do with whatever, and that is the punishment and bad treatment of the Union prisoners in rebel nrisons. This is the one and only thing that nas ever seen mrown at me intended to mar or mortifv mv feelimrs. and this has been done ty but few, and I nope mat iew wm nave respect enough for me to do so no more, for once more I wish to say that if it was the case and I don't doubt it was, at some places, I know nothing of it and had nothing to do with it whatever. I know what prison life is; I never was a prisoner myself, but I know enough of it to realize the fact that there is no pleasure in a military pris on. I never heard of Andersonville nt all until after the war. Then why throw Andersonville on me? But enough. I did not expect to eay one word about this little matter when I commenced this letter, and hope no one will take any exceptions to what I have said, and may God bless you boys, for the preservation of the Union Is the wishes of T. F. Kelley. A PABTY. BT MILDItKD Jk. HENDinSOIf. PhnnM yon sk me. when thU party? Where, and by what trson given? Who wore preent, where they camo from? Were they people of hlnli honor T.ovpd. esteemed, bv nil that knew them, Besntlful In faro and figure. Rich in all that earth could give them? Were Ihey f rorp the lower classes, Nnt so bnrdened by possessions Of this world, so false nnd changing? Or perchance was It a party, Where tho men collect on corners, Talk In tones quite loud nnd angry, And dlsenss on various topic, Such as Free Trade or Protection? 1 should answer, I should tell yon It was not ns other parties, Held In parlors fine and splendid, Where yonng men nnd maidens lovely Sit and talk ornlry nothings. Langn and danco nnd flirt together. And still less wns It a party For dlscnsslon of some topic Looking to '.be nation's welfaro. "What then was It?" do you ask rac? Listen now and I will tell yon: In mlilmmmer when the blossoms Filled the air around with fragranco, And thrswret, refreshing breezes. Shook the petals rrom the flowers On the grassy tnrr beneath them, Pat I In an ancient fruit tree. Rending rrom a book or stories, Stories or the time long by gone Dreaming rather more than reading, Thinking or the rights or woman In the present age nnd past one. Thlnklughow, In rormer periods, l.lttletnorc than beist ofbunlen Wa she thonirht or by the men-rolk Tolling, working, striving ever For the good or lhos she loved best. Now, loicd, honored, and respected, Gently reared and kindly cared Tor, She Is arbiter or nations As she sings and rocks the cradle. Dreaming thns. I heard a rustling On the grasv turf beneath me. looking downward for the purpose Of perceiving what It might mean, Strange the Bight that met mv vision. On the lawn beneath this fruit tree, Clad In all their richest raiment, Uobes or white and royal purple, Itobes all colors of tho rainbow, Splendid robes or silk and satin, Trooping with gav song and laughter, Came the lovely flowers or smiimer. To this spot there came the Red Rose. At her Bide walked all her sisters. And behind them camo their cousin. Wild Rose, loving, bright and guileless. Here too. came the stately Lily, And the Llllv of tha Valley; Here the Dahlia, heartless beauty, In gay colors came ine'iuiip. And liTlllIant. bright Geraulumi Also groups orroyal Pansles. Heartsease, loved by nil that know them, And the Innocent whit" Daisy, And the modest little Violet; Also came the HonevsucMe, She so trusting, so depending; From the South the rich Magnolia, And thi fragrant, purple Jessamine. With these, too, were many others Whom It were too long to mention. Now all these had come together To converse on various subjects. On which men are greatly puzzled: And they gathered round the lied Rose, Made her queen o'er all assembled, Then 'ipon a serious question, Question full of mighty Import Each one gave her own opinion: Thus the Lily, tall and stately, (While her deep heartshown withlfeellng) First spake fotth her proud convictions: "In the power of her affections, Lies alone the strength of woman, She was moulded for reliance Rather than for Independence, Her lot Is to be an helpmeet Rather than to rule the household." 1 hen up spake the Tulip, haughty: "Little do I think that marriage Is a head-ship, but the rather Giving equal rights to each one And the heartless Dahlia added And her voice was harsh and grating: "Let a woman wed for money. Or a home perchance, it may be, Or for fame, rcinwn or honor, In the end she'll be as happy. Love Is but a snare and phantom!" Then the timid little Tansy, Gentle, loving, little Heartsease Riised her voice In quick protesting: 'Love a snare, and love a phantom? 'God is loe' she meekly murmured, As she spoke, the sweet wee Violet Nestled to her side more closely, "On my leaves In Southern climates Touths to maidens traced love-verses." Proudly spake the rich Magnolia: "In my land, love Is the fetter That binds hearts In holy wed-lock. Hunhapplnees o'ertake them Too proud they to ever speak It." "Yes," the pnrple Jessamine added "In that Southern land of beauty Woman knows her sphere and keeps It." "Truly." spake tho Honeysuckle, "To depend nnd be dependent, To be loved and to be cared for. Is the station and position, Is the lot aud the condition For which woman was created." Then the Lily or tho Valley, On this question so momentous, On this question of such Import. Spake In accents clear and gentle. And the air was filled w 1th fragrance, "Let the woman do her part well. When she sees her husband's railings She should help him to o'ercome them. Let her be submissive, gentle, Cultivating liner virtues. Patient to the end In all things. Then the flat or our Father Unfulfilled no longer will bo When said He the God of heaven, I will make for man an helpmeet.' And the graceful, modest Daisy To her words approval nodded. "Then did God create her only Unto man to be an help-mtet?" Asked the beautiful Geranium, Shaking out the bright red petals, Glow Ing in her Indignation, "Is there nothing higher for her, Nothing grand that she may live for? Is It strange that life seems empty. And that wed-lock seems a burden? 1 lint there rise around the flrc-side Strires and bickerings without number As she pines for something broader. Something grander, loftier, nobler?" "What can be a grander life-work?" 'Twas the Wild Rose, bright and guileless, Breathing as she spoke, herperfnme, Who such words as these did utter: "Whatcanbea grander life-work. What can be a loftier purpose, What can be a nobler mission. Than to live asd work for others? She who truly craves the noble No place finds for strifes ard quarrels. She who truly lot es the lo ely Lovliermakcth all around her." Then the Red Rose, queen of flowers. Spake these simple words of wisdom: "Two It takes to make a quarrel, For the troubles and the trials. For the heartaches and the sightings For the wretchedness and sorrow. For the strifes and disagreements Which occur around the firesides Where nnhappiness and sadness Kelgn supreme in many households. Not one only is blaraew orthr But the other just as much so; And I think just as the poet When of old these words he uttered: "As unto the bow the cord Is So unto the man is woman. Though she bends him she obeys him Though she draws him yet she follows Useless each without the other Faint the sweet voice came up toward m As I bent to list more closely, Lo! beneath me on the green sward Nodded only the tall grasses Swaying as the wind swept o'er them, But the gentle Pansy's murmur Still was living on the breezes "GoJ Is love" the grasses whispered "God Is love" the faint air echoed. Ayer's Hair Vigor Is by far the moat popular hair-dressing In the market. It keeps the scalp clean and healthy, and Is safe and economical. Galbralth Starks, Druggists, Sharon Grove, Ky., write: "We be lieve Ayers Hair Vigor to be the best prepara tion of the kind in the market, and sell more of It than of all others." "I have used Ayer's Hair "Vigor for a number of yean, and it lias always given me satisfaction. It Is an excellent dressing and prevents the hair from falling out and turning gray." Mary A. Jackson, Salem, Mass. Dr. Ayer's Hair Vigor restores the original color to hair that lias become faded and dry. Prtjsued by Pr. J. C. Ayer Co., Lowsli.Mas. "Come to Stay." J. B. Williams, Druggist, Florenccvllle, Terns, says Some time ago I lost all my hair. In con sequence of measles. After due waiting no new growth appeared. I then used Ayer' Hair Vigor and my liair grew out thick aud strong. It lias apparently come to stay. The Hair Vigor Ij evidently a great aid to nature, and deservedly popular." J. W. Tlowcn, Editor Enquirer, McArthur, Ohio, writes: "Ayer Hair Vigor Is a most excel lent preparation. Its use makes the hair glossy aud soft, and promotes a new growth.

I take pleasure In anounclng to the teachers or Allen county, and all others Interested In the causo of education, that the annual session of tho County Normal Institute will be held In the Iola High School building, commencing Julys, and closing August 1, 1SS9. Your hearty co-operation In the past encour ages the heller that you will unite with me in making the coming Inetitutd one of the btst In tbeState. CONDTJCTOn AND IK8TnrCT0BS. Prof. F. II. Umholtz, or Iola, will conduct the Institute, and will be ably assisted by C.E. Merwln, of Iota, and E. W. Mylar, formerly of Humboldt. Their well known ability Is, of it self, an assurance of more than usual success. They are among the most progressive educators or the State. Miss Nettle Chambers, of Humboldt, will conduct a kindergarten school In connection with tho Institute, and L. II. Wishard, of Moran. will have charge of special work lu Physiology, and simple experiments in the Natural Sciences. KXAM1NATI0N. There n 111 lie an examination of applicants for teacher's certlllcates, commencing at 8 o'clock a. m. Friday, August 2, and continue over Saturday Teachers who attend the Institute everyday will receive credit forall grades ofOO per cent, and upwards, received on their last certificate in this county. W lir ATTEND THE INSTITUTE As a means of culture, as well as a financial investment, Its value can not be lightly esti mated In these days of progress tho spirit of the times demands a more thorough preparation for work, on tho part of the teacher, and a contin ual growth towards better and more econom ical methods of Instruction. There can be no growth unless the necessary elements of growth be supplied, and assimilated. Ihe special province of tho Institute Is to supply these ele ments of professional growth. Circumstances make It necessary that some of our teachers devote much of their time dur ing the Institute to a review of the academic branches, but the teacher who habitually neg lects the opportunity for professional Improve ment offered by the annual Institute, except when It is absolutely necessary to "brush up" for examination, Is unworthy a certificate, or a place In the profession, and the sooner our public schools arc rid of such "school keep ers" the better. The work Is so arranged this year that all who desire may confine their work to the strictly professional subjects of Psychology, Methods, Management, and the History of Ed ucation. We would urge all who can to pursue this work. KINDEROAHTKX. The Kindergarten school will be conducted In connection with, and as a part of, the Insti tute. Each member of the Institute who con templates teaching during tho comirg year, will bo expected to spend the interval of one recitation, daily, in tills department. Should any members desire to take special Instruction In Kindergarten and primary methods Miss Chambers has kindly consented to organize an afternoon class for that purpose. This Instruc tion w 111 be free to all members of the Institute, but each one will be required to pay for the material they use in such work. ADVANCED TLTILS. Advanced pupils of the public schools, whether they contemplate teaching or not, will be cordially welcomed. They will find classes adapted to their needs, whire they can put in a mouth orcarnest work that will richly repay them for their time, labor and expense. KtrKNSKS. Board aud lodging can be secured at prices ranging from Si M to S3 50 per week. Rooms mny be rented by those wishing to board them selves, and thus reduce expenses about one-half. The law requires that each member of the In stitute pay an enrollment fee of one dollar, and that each applicant for a teacher's certificate pay an examination leu of one dollar. These fees are to assist in defrayl ng the expenses of the Institute. There need be but slight expense for books, as any good text book on tho subject will an wer, so bring all your old books along with you. CLASSIFICATION OF SCHOOL W011K. In order that our school work in tho county may be productive of better results, a Manual of classification, and a Classification Register are in preparation, and will be introduced Into the schools of the county during tho coming year. These will be thoroughly explained dur ing the Institute. It is especially desired that all persons who intend teaching In Allen coun ty during the cominz j car will not neglect this opportunity to beoome familiar with the pro posed plan of classification. Our schools can be lifted to a higher plane of usefulness only by harmonious co-operation of teachers and school officers. This co-operation can only be secured by a perfect understanding of all con cerned, of the plans and methods by which It is proposed to accomplish the desired results. LECTURES AND ENTEBTAINMKNTS. On Friday eyenlng, July 12, the Uev. J. W. Wright, of Cottonwood Falls, will lectnre to the Institute, at the Methodist church, and on the following Sabbath he will preach, at the same place, a sermon especially designed for the members of the Institute. During the second week Jehn A. McDonald, editor of the Western Sthool Journal, will dell ver the second lecture of the course. Common school commencement exercises will be held on Tuesday evening, July SO. SL-GOK3TION8. Bring your Gospel Hymns with yoa. Don't forget yonr note book.

Do not allow conventional forms of eti quette to prevent you fromlntroducingyourself In all matters pertaining to discipline, and good order in the Institute, do precisely what you expect your pupils to do inyour school. Friends of the Institute, especially school officers, are Invited to visit the Institute. Wishing you, the schools, and the Institute every success, I am, Tonrs very truly. EL. T.
