State Ledger

Speak the dictates of your conscience is no violation of law. Don't kick read the "STATE LEDGER." The old lady is out of jil and Dad Nation is wanting out. Mr. Linen Breeches was in round about town last week but time will soon tell him Jack Frost wants to see him. The Santa Fe is the road to take to avoid accidents only one in a long white.

Some fool killer is always round and about look out for him else he will kill you When a man gets drunk he can only remember the man that licked him when he was sooner. Most old men would rather young men would call them dad in fact dad is like the paper that it is all the dad up to date. Nick Chiles sends Chief Stahl the meaning of heart, Titled "All we want is to be left alone" signed- Mckinley Club. Chas.

Remember us not the fellow who talk the most to you of his friendly devotion to you serves you best as a friend. Mind your own business. Remember this. The HERALD office is about the busiest place in the city now-a-days. Don't you wish you was loved like the fourth class postmans? They don't have to be reappointed. When some jealous man finds his name left out of print he hollers for six months hence, Some woman want divorce be cause their neighbor wears the best looking out fit. If you want to hear a mess of nonesense discussed just take a ride around Kansas. We are not able to do as many others in business, but we will do the best we can and a sensible man should appreciate it. Nick Chiles would have been mobbed at Turon last week had he been there. We came near serving the same fate. Some men will go away from home and remain. Deserts their families because some old wigged up bald-head granny has used the rabbit foot on him. Surely he leaves a good family and will say in a whisper "she's just the ticket." Some would be wise persons who fail to recieve the LEDGER as promt as some other incisy journals have the cheek to pretend that they do not receive it at all, for the purpose of paying nothing at all. Down at Leavenworth they have a young Irishman called "Red McDonald, king of the bu m s, spotters and crooks, And the several populations have sworn vengeance against him. He is also the man who postively says that Alexander was guilty, should have been burnt. 'Red will be wise, 'ere long," The State Ledger. 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 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." Freedom is not the right to do as you please, but the liberty to do as you ought to...Ex.

Carnegie might have found the problem of dying poor much simplified if he had put a family of boys through college In taking a summer vacation the Supreme Court has left a pretty puzzle for the statesman to wor over during the warm spell. The tendency to habitual action is universally recognized as an important part of our psychical nature. You can not in any given case by any sudden and single effort will to be true, if the habit of your life has been insincerity. Habit, with its iron sinews Claps and leads us day by day. Great things through greatest hazards are achieved, and then they shine, Our greatest glory is not in never falling but rising every time we fall.

AS IT IS NOW-DAYS UNDER SUP'T UHLS. Never in the history of the state was the Lunatic Asylum conducted so nicely as now since management of Sup't Uhis is altogether a different superintendent to his predecessors. For instance while there are 1050 patients and 170 employees, yet everything is clock work. Dr. Uhls is a thorough sup't and no one who have ever visited this institution will doubt it. It will be a solace of comfort and pleasure to know the many changes for the better doings and happenings at the asylum. For instance under the rudely looking orchard which was thought under the Leedy administration to be of no use but to be hewn down and cast in to the fire has all been finely cared for and today there is a fine prospect for fine select fruit for the imates as nature yeilids. During the strawberry season, Sup't Uhls saw that every patient colored or otherwise receive at least twice a week a large dish of the delicious berries. On the other hand over a hundred new additions have been added to the institution; one is the most select machinery for forcing water all over the building in a sanitary way; next the best and cleanest regulated laundry system in the state: a fine pond built hands of the lunatics all planned and worked out by the new super's suggestions. His ideas are very broad indeed and notwithstanding his position and scholarly dignity, as a noted physician of Miami county he is a reasonable gentleman Nothing escapes his vigilant eye the patients and tenants all admire him and every thing is going along smoothly there are 74 tenants ladies and gentleman and if you want to see cleaniiness go to the Osawatomie asylum there are four assistant superintendents and three assisting physicians. Dr. J. W. Vannuy's, or Sedgwick county assistant supt under Dr. Biddle is still there assistant physicians are Dr. H. P. Monroe, of Garnett Dr. L. R. Sellers, of Ft. Scott Dr. Kooms, of Sterling there are several colored helpers in the cooking department, a clever coachmn by the name of Ducan. And four times as many colored on the pay roll as was under the Leedy administration- this is pleasing to us. HON.J.W.BROWN SYLVIA KANSAS.

The above is the name of one the veteran of Ohio who came to Kansas in 1877 from the state of Iowa, having at that time we might say nothing more than an honorable discharge from President Lincoln. After running wild for a while on Kansas plains. He settled at Garden Plain, a nice little burg in Sedgwick county and a little religion and economy and a little politics today he is reputed to be worth more than $15000. He is postmaster at Garden, Plain for past time but his real ousiness is that of a real estate dealer. He has been post-master since 1892, built the first house in the city.
