Speak the dictates of your conscience is no violation of law. Hew to the law- let the chips fall where they may.'—Mayer Hughes and Chief Stahl Law and order will make a better class christian people in this city let it be done two years will be sufficient proof. We have no ax to grind but we have our going to make and people must learn to oppreci te it. Chief Stahl is not only a brave officer but a honest fair dealing gentleman. All men look alike to him. Mayor Hughes is starting off in good shape he is certainly possessed with sufficient backbone that none can tread on him while he is mayor of Topeka, City Engineer McCabe is destined to give perfect satisfaction in his new position from the experience he has had for many years explains the fact. Let the good work go on, We have just paid the last dollar we possessed for a male dog we registered named "Prince." When a woman knows she is pretty there are generally two ways of explaining, one way is she is foolish Once in a while a man's blood curdles when a person says something to him he doesn't like. The price of hay is only making the farmers smile they are not worried over dry weather. Habit, if wisely and skillfully formed, becomes truly a second nature. We see by the signs of the times that prejudice to the colored race is growing less in special cases. One of the cases is where a man goes to work in earnest and saves his earnings for honest investments, verily the race problem soon or later will solve itself. Now try this and you too will succeed or weeds. When colored men act better and when their girls and women become more self composed, talk less, and be as moral as nature requires we will assure a longing public a good respectable class of people that are living above the common element of bums and blims. A good deal of disrespect is brought on by one's self drinking and rasing cane is not the only way one can demoral themselves. But there are others.

DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. What a sublime spectacle is of a young man going straight to his goal, cutting his way through difficulties, and surmounting obstacles which dishearten others as it they were stepping stones. Work that is not finished is no work at all, it is merely a botch, an abortion. "Nothing else is so contagious as enthusiasm. It is the real allegory of the fable of Orpheus: it moves stones and charms brutes It is the genius of sincerity, and truth accomplishes no victories without it." To know how to wring victory from defeat, and make stepping stones of our stumbling-blocks, is the secret of success. "It if you love yourself overmuch nobody else will love you at all" "The gods will be satisfied with the best you can do, but the neighbors will criticise you just as severely as ever."

One remarked to us the other day that insomuch we were prosperous he would be pleased and sure to say a complimentary remarks of us. Perhaps the poor fellow meant at that time just what he said, but we suppose the jealous "king of devils" caught sight of it before the poor little squib was able to grow and killed the poor good devil.

One good thing Evelyn Balawin has gone so far north that he soon will be out of the reach of the telegraph. Evelyn is a great poser. The weather clerk is not at bad Just think what would have happened in a presidential election. Even the elements are against Bryan. There is a horrible story of some years ago the Benders. John W. Hillon and the man who struck Billy Patterson formed a partnership, a sort of union, and have doing business together since. That accounts for their being able to clude the officers. The Joplin woman who knows where the Benders are would probably prove her information by the Bible if bribed to tell. The chances are that they are not hard to locate and it is a place that even in this terrible weather Kansas officers would not care to go for criminals. Ex. A Krowa woman is reported by The Journal's having been badly burned in a fire caused by a gasoline stove. She had started the fire but discovered the tank was empty, so she put out the fire and started to fill the tank but spilled some oil on the hot burner, causing an explosion and a blaze. She put out the flames on her dress and tried to put out the fire in the room when her clothes again caught fire. Again she put it out, then she put on another dress to hide her burns and summoned help from the neighbors. The house was saved, but her recovery is doubtful. Ex. "Frank West, a Kansas young man," srys an exchange, "is publishing The Daily Bulletin in Manila.

Which is nearly as much as some Pop papers of Kins- those that howl the oppression of labor- pay their American girl compositors." Ex The following from the Man- chester News seems to be stretching matters perhaps just a little: "A story is being told of a Kans. farmer who caught a chinch bug. He fed him posin, cracked him in the doors and froze him in ice. The bug always came up smiling a flendish smile and looking at the man with a sardonic eye. Finally he carried the bug to a foundry and dropped it into a ladle of melted iron Then he went off chuckling. Fifteen years afterward his wite broke a skillet she had been using for some years and that chinch bug hopped out and asked the nearest road to a con- field." S.

The State Board of Charities and Corrections will go to Parsons next week to make arrangements for securing a site for the new insane asylum which will be built at that place. The site selected by the people at Parsons is held at $28,000, but if this is taken by the board the price will have to be considerably reduced. The last legislature appropriated $100,000 to pay for the purchase of a site and the construction of necessary buildings. The board will probably expend the full amount on buildings and ask the next legislature to make further appropriation to provide for the furnishings. The asylum will be on the cottage plan. No large buildings will be erected but the different wards will be housed in separate buildings of comparatively small size.

THE POSTOFFICE CONGESTED. El Reno, July 20.--The thousands of people who are in El Reno rejoiced together over the rain which fell for more than one hour. The rain came unannounced and when the first drop began to fall people rushed into the streets caring nothing for the wetting which they received. Streets that have been inches deep in dust are now muddy. Men and women were in the rain together. Business went on as usual. The man who raised an umbrella was "roasted" until he lowered it, and gray haired old farmers bared their heads standing in their wagons as they drove along with smiles on their faces. The heat before the rain was intense. The registration for the day reached 10,679. At Lawton the registration was 2,000. R. P. Lawrence, chief construction man for the Rock Island, states that the road will be built into Lawton by August first.

Coburn is Optimistic. Topeka, June 17.—F. D. Coburn, secretary of the state board of agriculture does not share in the opinion of the ruin that will come upon Kansas as a result of the present dry spell. The damage to hay and corn has been serious, but the deficiency will be nearly made up by the great crops of Kaffir corn and alfalfa that have been raised. Mr. Coburn states that there are over 90,000 acres of Kaffir corn and alfalfa in the state, which has not been materially affected by the dry weather. In addition to this, there are 40,000,000 bushels of old corn in the hands of the farmers. This of itself is nearly a fourth of the average crop. New Philippine Tariff. Washington, July 13.—Officials who have had in charge the preparation of the Philippine tariff estimate that it will bring in a revenue of $10,000,000 the first year. The adjustment of the rates has been made with the view of lowering the duties on necessities, so as to reduce the cost of living in the islands and also with the idea of opening the doors of the Philippines to American trade as far as possible. Creamery Men Suffer. Abilene, Kan., July 18.—The twenty-first day of 100 degree weather with the temperature 106 is causing many farmers to give up hope for corn. Creamery men are becoming anxious over the reduction in milk supply owing to shortness of feed. Milk stations report rapid decrease in the past week. Made Insane by Hazing. New York, July 19. - Harry Craven, 19 years old, grandson of the late Rear Admiral Craven, U. S. N., has been committed to Bloomingdale asylum. The doctors say he is a hopeless lunatic.

LORD PAUNCEFOTE HOPES A Treaty Is Possible That Will Satisfy Both Countries. London, July 19.—Lord Paulucefote, the British ambassador to the United States, made the following statement to a representative of the Associated Press: "I am having conferences with the Marquis of Lansdowne, not only with reference to Nicaragua, but also with regard to a half dozen treaties pending between Great Britain and the United States. These are chiefly concerned with West Italian reciprocity arrangements." When asked if he thought there was any possibility of arriving at an agreement regarding the Nicaragua canal before congress reconvened, he said: "Yes, I sincerely hope so. We are now in the middle of the negotiations, which, although they have not yet reached any tangible result, show good promise. Naturally, I may not disclose the details, but I may say that when I return to the United States at the end of October I hope to take with me a Nicaragua treaty that will meet the views of both President McKinley and the British cabinet. Tax Titles on School Lands: Topeka, July 20.—An opinion handed down by A. A. Godard, attorney general, will result in a number of persons, who have been purchasing tax titles, losing considerable sums of money. Mr. Godard held that tax certificates on state school land, which revert to the state, do not form a lien on the property and that the counties are not compelled to refund the amount paid. He declares that the purchasers of the tax certificates on school land should protect their rights by paying up the back interest and the balance due on the land. If the land is allowed to revert to the state then the purchaser of the tax certificate loses the amount he has invested. Leave for Fort Slll Reservation Fort Sill, Ok., July 20.—"Needmore," the city of tents and prairie schooners, in a short time now will be known only in history. The registration officers are making rapid headway and gaining ground on the applicants. For a while two people arrived for every one that was registered. Now two are being registered for every one that arrives. In obedience to the order of Major Scott, those who register leave the camp immediately. The Katy Claims Townsite. Muskogee, I. T., July 18.—The Missouri, Kansas & Texas railroad has commenced suit for possession of a considerable part of the land on which Muskogee is built. In 1866 the government granted alternate sections of land for ten miles on both sides of the right-of-way to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. The railroad contends that one of these sections takes in part of the townsite. An Exciting Race. Guthrie, O. T., July 16.—An exciting race to save a freight train from being destroyed by fire occurred on the Santa Fe road from Lawrie, six miles north, to this city.
