There is a lovely land not far away, Where bums infest the strand Night and day, On now those stinkers yell when they hear the dinner bell; But to quit it would be hill Dark, dark than day. For the benefit of those who read, EDITOR. Hew away let the chips fall all along the line. When you see it in our paper just say it is so. W. H. Klausmire, the Jackson county farmer is on trial for his life at Oskaloosa. In justice to ourselves we believe in a little more money and less blocade of business. There are some very silly people in this world. There are some who deem it necessary to be fools. With this weeks issue we make our paper seven columns and we will try and merit your favor in the future as in the past. There are moments when a man don't care to talk. Tell a man you don't care to talk and you will find an enemy over there. The police courts seem to continue to grind along with a few drunks who must let the prison officials know they must be Topeka anyhow. It has been claimed that all sensible men more or less drink whiskey; if that be true it would be hard indeed for a man not to follow the example of his fathers. We have arranged to get every thing in shape to get the paper to you as agreed. However in the past we admit we have been some what behind. "If you think it best for the safety of our lives please tell that boy who is popping that 22 out there to quit." Porter S. Cook, Sheriff Shawnee Co. 'All right you are in command.' Chief Stahl. There seems to be a lengthy story going the rounds in eastern paper about Miss Lendra Seitz of McPherson, her name is not Hattie, neither does she live in Topeka. There is no doubt a good deal of truth in the rumor that duunks don't boot leg, for heaven's sake think of nobles selling booze they like it to well themselves, The STATE LEDGER is the oldest and biggest Negro journal in Kan. by many odds. Oh excuse us we didn't mean that, for instance the PLAINDEALER is just the stuff. Now of course one will make mistakes and that is ours. We will come second anyhow. James R.

DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; FEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. There are a pair of joshers in the State House just as you enter second floor, their business is that of a "New man" now a days called mentioner, their business also is to excite and invite attention because they are newspapermen, most people fly shy of this gang because he is caught as from a camera all the same. They have a sign on the preface of the big door thusly: "Hot Air" commissioner, They are funny fellows but we do not know their names. We understand that there will be n move on foot to have Justice Disney of Oakland reply to our last issue. We have nothing personal against Judge Disney and if he had come to us in advance of our last issue and disputed the statement we would have been compelled to have done it for him. A rumor as we understand is public property and can only be published as a rumor. Hence that is the situation. DEATH OF J. FREEMAN John E. Freeman, formerly of this city who for many years in the employ of the Santa Fe was killed on the Frisco Line in a collision last week. He was a cook for private rail-road officials. Mr. Freeman at the time of his death lived in Chicago where he has quite a family. Miss Hattie, Mrs. Jno Norman and a brother Eligah are the only children left to their aged parents. His many friends who remember the family as the writer regret the sad news. The Freemans are among the wealthiest colored families of this state, having came here as among its first settlers from the Dominion of Canada. The fact of the Freemans owning large property interest and have plenty of money, however, John Freeman Sr seems to have made it from the start as a shoemaker. They have the sympathy of this community: The title of executiener in New York has passed. It is the electrician in Auburn prison. Czelgosz slept more soundly than those who were to see him electrocuted. There is no fear in faith. Being depends on believing. Candor is not always truth. Doing his will will lead to delight in it. The true warrior does not wait to be an officer before he will fight. The best treasures of life are found in the rather than as nuggets god will take the will for the deed at times but never the deed for the will. You can afford to discount popular opinion when you have God's precious promises.-Ex: CO. SUPT. THOMAS OF PHILIPPS COUNTY Coming Young Man ForState Honors. PETER H. HON, JOHN THOMAS, Few young men in Kansas have achieved as much respect and honor as the subject of this sketch, the affable young and brilliant county superintendent of Phillips county. Mr. Thomas was educated at the Nickerson and Emporia Normal School. Having been born and reared in Phillips county makes him quite a favorite among the good people of that locality. Mr. Thomas is a pleasant young man to meet, and in a recent interview with many of the teachers of his county the unanimous verdict was that he is capable for the position he holds. The North-West Teachers Association meets in his city November 28th and 29th, and Mr. Thomas will by common consent be president of the assembly. He is 30 years of age and has lived in Phillips county; he is serving his second term as county superintendent of schools and bids fair to hold state honors if signs of the times point directly. COUNCILMAN Who Will Stand For Re-election Because He Has Done His Duty We made a short trip to Kansas City, Kansas the other day and took in a few sights of the busy city, and then we made a careful investigation among the voters and many of the city officers. We was informed that in the spring there would be a councilman to be elected in the second ward, but as Mr, George Grubel, Jr, has had only one term it is necessary to say that he will be a candidate for re election from the second ward. Mr. Grubel is well known to every voter in the second ward at Kansas City and has on many occasions did them great favor. Whenever he has had employment to let he has always employed the laboring man of the colored race and he has many of them today working in his large soda water factory and on the new department of his new building, Mr. Grubel is the colored man's friend as also his father and he has always considered them in every way possible. The many friends of Mr. Grubel may remember he wants to be re-elected when the time comes and would be best for them to cast their votes for him.

MUSBANDS PORTRATED BY WOMEN. According to Women's Novels Only Good Husbands are Dead Husbands. Judging from the women's novels of the present day, the only good husband is a dead husband. I take up one of these books and find the story of a young governess who after her marriage with a Cuban relative of her employer, discovers that she has a jealous husband. Under the many indignities heaped upon her, the injured wife at length revolts. She then learns to love another man, who returns her affection. But the lovers agree to try to forget each other, and one succeeds. I open another. This also is the story of mismated people—a somber picture of the misery following the union of two temperaments so wholly unsympathetic that there is no possibility of mutual comprehension. But why look further? I turn from these books with a groan. The day has suddenly darkened before me. I feel old and sad, and the world seems a dreary waste of woe and wickedness For the time I have been breathing in the tainted air of a room where a nightlamp is burning and the atmosphere is heavy with the odor of disinfectants. Yet outside my window the young May sun is shining as it has done for 5- 000 springs and I hear a robin chirping the same blithe song that stirred the primeval forests. A great wave of discontent, like a mighty ogre, has flooded the minds of a large class of women in all civilized countries, sweeping away former traditions. Even the German woman, who to most intellects typifies the mere housewife, is revolting under the tyranny of the kitchen pots and refuses to be confronted with her knitting. In an age which sees more women writing than ever before in the history of the world it is natural that this unrest should find its expression in many of their books. In the minds of the disaffected portion of the sex arise these questions: Why are these women discontented? What is it they protest against? What do they really want? Is it true, as one of their critics asserts, that they mistake curiosity about morbid social conditions for a desire for social reforms? But, at least, the novelist might teach the ues of a sorrowful marriage. She might teach that to bear is to conquer our fate. She might teach us that though happiness has not fallen to her heroine's lot, or ours, in this age of philanthropy and intellectual activity, there is plenty of occupation for heart and head and hand. And we will rise up and call her blessed if in future novels she will admonish the family skeletons to rattle their bones as faintly as possible, in case they cannot be absolutely silent. Let her preach to us the gospel of hope, hope for despair itself, as Dickens preached it. And may we yet meet a few good husbands in our pages, for if the husband in woman's fiction continues to go from bad to worse as rapidly as he has been doing of late years, he bids fair to soon occupy the place once held by the eighteenth century villain.—Nina R. Allen, in Modern Culture. Imperor and Barber. Emperor William of Germany has taught his barber a lesson. Very punctual himself, the emperor insists that his servants shall also be punctual, and as he noticed some time ago that his barber was almost always a few minutes late when the time came for shaving him, he presented him with a gold chronometer and urged him to make good use of it. Much to his surprise, the barber continued to be a few minutes late almost every morning, and, after waiting in vain for some signs of improvement, the emperor said to him the other day: "Have you still the chronometer which I gave you?" "Yes, your majesty; here it is," replied the barber, taking it from his pocket. "Give it to me," said the emperor. "It is evidently of no use to you and you can have this one instead." With these words he placed the handsome gold chronometer on his dressing-table and handed to the amazed barber a nickel-plated watch worth about a dollar.—New York Herald. Among the peasants of Turkey almost all the doctoring is still done by women. In Constantinople there are laws against these healers, but they flourish, of romance languages in Western Reserve University, and Professor Ladd, of Yale, will become the first incumbent of the Dr. Leonard Hanna chair in the medical school of Cleveland University. Prof. George F. Moore has resigned from the faculty of the Andover Theological Seminary. According to report he has accepted a chair at Harvard. He has been connected with the seminary for twenty years, and for the last three years has been president of the faculty Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the Norwegian poet, is idolized by all Norwegians, while Ibsen may rather be said only to be admired. The two men are opposites in personality, habits and tastes, and, indeed, have only one thing in common the unfriendliness with which they are regarded in Sweden. COPE & CO.

VOL. 9, NO39 BLOODLESS AROOSTOOK WAR. Innocent Cause of It Has Just Died in Massachusetts. John Johnson Emery, formerly a Maine farmer, politician, explorer and lemberman, and who became noted for bringing about the dispute between this country and England, which ended in the bloodless Aroostook war, died of old age at his home, 26 Bower street, Boxbury. He was born in Fairfield, Maine, on August 28, 1806. His father was Samuel Emery, the first white child born in the town. The mother's maiden name was Diadema Johnson, and John J. was one of the fifteen children of the family. As manhood came he grew into a life of local activity, and located most of the roads now existing in Fairfield and many of those in surrounding towns. He was a selectman for nine years, was county surveyor for a long time, and represented the town in the legislature of Maine. He was also an extensive farmer, and carried on a lumber business of considerable magnitude. During Mr. Emery's days as a lumberman, he and a companion made many explorations of the Maine woods. They made a chart of the ground that they covered, and published several pamphlets describing these localities, which were then little known to the hunters and the public. In 1839 Mr. Emery was the innocent cause of a war, which is now known in history as the Aroostook war, and for a time came near being serious in many respects. It came about over a boundary dispute with Canada; neither this country nor the province of the queen could decide on the proper location of the line, and it was always coming up as a bone of contention. In 1839 he was sent there to look over the ground and make a report on it, and was to take along a surveyor with him, and determine about where the line lay. He went into the woods, and while carrying out his mission was captured by British soldiers and taken as a prisoner to Canada. When the people of Maine heard of it there was great excitement, and immediately talk of war. The state troops were ordered out under the direction of the president, and they were armed and sent to the boundary to secure his release. The Canadian government released him before they came, but at the same time they assembled several regiments of troops to meet the Maine boys. Upon his return to the lines he was placed in command of his own company of troops and remained in camp with them for more than a month. President Van Buren sent General Winfield Scott to take command, and he remained until the trouble was over. It was finally settled by Daniel Webster, who conferred with the British authorities and fixed the line—Boston Globe. Change For a Quarter. "How much does it take to change a quarter?" asked the bartender. "Twenty-five cents, ch? Not on your life. It takes 70 cents to do the trick. How many ways do you suppose a quarter-dollar can be changed? Just exactly eleven. A fellow of limited means may like the jingle of coin in his clothes. In that event you can give him 25 pennies or 20 pennies and one nickel, supposing he wants to get a beer. He may like to have a little sprinkling of silver in his clothes, and you can accommodate with fifteen pennies and a dime, or ten pennies, a dime and a nickel. If he prefers to have change handy for a beer and a car fare, why fifteen pennies and two nickels will fix him up, and if he wants a cigar in addition, besides having a little stock of cash in his jeans, give him ten pennies and three nickels. That makes six ways. Now then, a fellow with a quarter can trade it off for five pennies and four nickels, two dimes and one nickel, one dime and three nickels or five nickels, just as he prefers. And to accommodate him in any way that he might select, you have to possess twenty-five pennies, two dimes and five nickels—70 cents in all."—New York Times. Gravel with a History. On the occasion of the recent meeting of the American Association of Passenger and Ticket Agents, in Asheville, N. C., H. C. Townsend, president, was given an oak gavel, to which is attached an interesting history. The wood once formed a part of Nelson's flagship, "Foudroyant," and is a relic of a name and career well known to the American and British nations. The "Foudroyant" was captured from the French in 1558, being at that time one of the largest battleships afloat. Later she carried Nelson's flag in the Mediterranean and was finally broken up by a gale at Blackpool, November 28, 1897. An American $5 gold piece of 1800 and a George III, guinea are inlaid in the gavel. Thomas Cook & Son of New York were the donors. Mrs. Stanford has returned to San Francisco after a journey to Egypt, where she purchased for the Stanford Museum a remarkable private collection of Egyptian antiquities, treasured and supplemented during thirty-five years by a wealthy foreign resident of Cairo.

The issue of exchequer bonds of the value of 10,000 yen has been only a partial success. The Schwarzschild & Sulzberger packing company opened a new packing house in Chicago, Wednesday. The new plant cost $1½ million dollars and employs 3,000 workmen. The daily killing capacity of the plant is 3,000 hogs, 2,500 cattle and 2,500 sheep. What was well known as the Maude Adams statue was melted up at the United States assay office in Wall street Wednesday. The statue was made of $67,000 in gold taken out of the assay office some weeks ago. It had been on exhibition at the Pan-American exposition, and was sent to the assay office from Buffalo. The state department has been advised by Consul General Dickinson, at Constantinople, in a report of recent date, that the Turkish government has extended for a period of ten years from last August the operations of an irade which permitted the free entry of a large class of agricultural implements, chiefly the newer and improved types. At Merrimac, Wis., Mrs. George Lee opened the large sieve door and thrust her baby into the roaring fire in the presence of her husband and nurse. The baby was but three weeks old and was practically consumed before gotten out. Mrs. Lee tried to kill another child three years ago with a hammer. She was in Mendota asylum for some time and has been taken there again. Eight human bodies were taken Wednesday evening from two crates at the freight depot of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, Chicago. They were consigned to R. J. Jones, of Brashear, Mo., and marked as second-hand laundry machinery. The oodies were purchased during the day from the Harvey Medical college of Chicago, and were being shipped to Missouri for purposes of dissection. John McCormick, a plasterer, shot and killed Mrs. Maggie Lindsey at Nebraska City, Neb., and then turned the weapon upon himself, inflicting a serious wound in the head. McCormick called at Mrs. Lindsay's home and demanded admittance. On being refused, he fired a shot through the screen, killing the woman instantly. The bullet fired at his own brain glanced off and the wound will not prove fatal. M.

Nearly 200 former students of the university are now teaching in the South, distributed among sixty-five institutions of learning. KANSAS NEWS BRIEFS. The postoffice at Aitwood will become presidential on January 1; salary of postmaster, $1,000. Fort Scott has made an offer of $125,000 for the water works plant, which belongs to Eastern parties. The South Haven bank has been sold to Dr. W. S. Wood, of Kansas City, and C. Q. Chandler, of Wichita, for $25,000. C. J. Miller, of Oberlin, while cutting out cattle near Hoxie, was thrown from his horse and dragged. He died soon afterward. Ex-State Senator George H. Lamb, of Woodson county, when asked if he were a candidate for the Republican nomination for congress in the Fourth district replied: "I am not a candidate—not now." Governor Stanley has paroled Newman Brown, who was sent to the penitentiary in 1893 from Dodge City for twelve years for criminal assault. Brown has served eight years. It was shown that Brown was convicted on questionable evidence. A vein of coal has been discovered on a farm owned by H. H. Dewey, near Wichita, by a number of laborers who engaged in digging a well, at seventy-six feet. Traces of oil were also found. Further investigation will be made, with a view of ascertaining just how valuable the discovery is. Dr. Ernest Minney, who started for Colorado in his automobile last week accompanied by his wife, had to give out the trip when he reached Stafford, Kasan on account of the illness of his wife. He shipped the auto home and continued the journey with Mrs. Minney on the train. Department commander Norton, of the Kansas G. A. R. has removed Charles Harris, of Emporia, and E. B. Jones, of Holton, as members of the auditing committee of the department. This is the outgrowth of the publication of the troubles in the department a few days The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway company has added 10 million dollars to its capital stock. Its former capital stock was 50 millions. The amendment has been filed in the office of the secretary of state. The object of the increase is presumably to meet the expense of recent construction in the Southwest. H. L. Jones, aged 71, died at Salina. He was one of the earliest settlers of Kansas, and fought in the battles with Border ruffians and Indians. He was the original "Buffalo Jones" and obtained the title while serving in one of the early legislatures. He was said at that time to represent more territory, fewer people and more buffaloes than any other member. The application of John D. Norton now serving a term in prison for murder, was presented to the supreme court and was set for hearing during the January term of court. Norton was convicted in the Galena common plea court, which was afterward declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. He claims that, inasmuch as the court has legal right to exist, he was not legally tried and is, therefore, entitled to his freedom. The commissioners of Sumner county have offered a reward of $300 for the arrest and conviction of the murderers of John T. Lewis, near Wellington, on July 26. Lewis was traveling from Missouri to Oklahoma in a covered wagon and fell in with two strangers at Oxford. He was shot from behind and the body thrown into the ditch. The murderers escaped with the team and wagon which probably furnished the incentive for the crime. Attorneys representing the Galena Water Works company of Galena appeared before Judge Hook in the United States circuit court at Leavenworth and asked for an injunction to restrain the officials of Galena from enforcing an ordinance reducing the water rate in that city. The ordinance was passed a few days ago. It has a tendency to cut down the present water rates in Galena about 40 per cent. Judge Hook declined to grant the injunction, but further litigation will come over the ordinance in the near future. The prime minister of Holland, Dr Abraham Kuypr, has broken the record by being the first doctor of divinity and preacher to hold that position. In the British house of commons during the last decade several former divines have attained enmity. Thus, the Rt. Hon H. A. Aland, who was a member of the cabinet of 1892-95, is an ex-ctergyman of the church of England, and served at one time as curate under Dr. Creighton, the late bishop of London. During the session of the British parliament that began on January 23 and ended on August 17, no fewer than 6,448 questions were asked in the house of commons. This number has only once been exceeded, in recent years as any rate, namely, in the session of 1839-94, when the number of questions was 6,534.

Five thousand dollars have been spent in vain for poison with which to kill prairie dogs in Western Kansas. The following postoffices have been discontinued: Eve, Bourbon county, mail_to Bronson; Griffin, Woodson county, mail to Humboldt. G. A. Chaffee, a Belleville merchant, has given notice that he will apply to the state board of railroad commissioners for an order compelling the Union Pacific and the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific to give him jobbers' rates. Fort Scott has been forced to take a test case to the supreme court again in an attempt to collect poll taxes. Many employees of the Missouri Pacific shops who are single men and pay no other tax refused to pay poll taxes amounting to $2 per year. Assistant Secretary Ryan, of the interior department, has detailed A. C. Emmons, an expert on mineralogy, to go to the Trego-Ellis "gold" fields and make an examination for the government. Emmons will leave Washington this week and spend a couple of weeks in the shale fields. More than 150 new school houses were built in Kansas during the past summer, State Superintendent Nelson has received annual reports from 95 of the 105 counties in the state and they show that 150 new buildings have been put up. This will probably be increased to 160 by the other counties yet to hear from. William Parcel, an aged man, took a dose of strychnine at Wichita and died within 15 minutes. He had been separated from his wife for several years brooded over it continuously. He w home and asked her to live with him again. When she refused he committed suicide. Hackney & Laffry have filed suit in the district court at Winfield for Cowley county against the Santa Fe railroad to recover $128,000 in railroad stock which it is claimed the county was cut out of at the time the road was recharred. The petition also calls for interest at 6 per cent from 1879, which would amount to $168,960, making a total of $296,960. The state board of charities has held up the payment for the land for the site of the new asylum at Parsons until the people there enter into contract with it to furnish water and gas at a low figure. When the site was selected, the people agreed to furnish gas and water very cheap. The board wants them to reduce the agreement to writing and sign it before it takes the land. Bank Commissioner Albaugh has received a letter from an Eastern financial paper asking him if it were true that there were nine banks in Kansas whose surplus was greater than their capital. It said that it had seen the statement in a newspaper and wanted to confirm it. The bank commissioner replied giving a list of thirty-seven state and private banks in Kansas under his control where the surplus is greater than the capital. Wabunsee county is now the driest county in Kansas. There is not a joint running in the entire county, so Attorney General Goddard says. A few months ago there were joints in every big town in the county. County Attorney F. A. Seaman began a warfare on them and has succeeded in wiping them out completely. The attorney general, who has backed him in his fight, has written him a letter congratulating him upon the success of his efforts in the enforcement of the prohibitory law. When the Pool Grinstead habeas corpus case was called for hearing in the supreme court, Grinstead's attorney, Major A. M. Harvey, asked for a continuance until February. It was granted. Grinstead's bond was renewed and he will remain out of jail until that time at least. After the motion for a continuance had been granted, Harvey said: "Well, Pool, you are good for three months' more of liberty, anyhow." "Yes," replied Grinstead. "I'm in luck it I can stay out of the Doniphan county jail six months each year." The French episcopacy has lost one of its most prominent members by the death of Mgr. Isoard, at the age of 81. Bishop Isoard was never tired of attacking the government with the utmost violence when it interfered in the affairs of the church. While he accepted the republican form of government, he was always careful to distinguish between and the ministry of the hour. "You are neither," he wrote dusses Ferry, in L. I. "France, the state, the public." The famous French savant, M. Barbelot, has discovered platinum in Egypt. Examining a necklace once the property of an Egyptian queen in the seventeenth century, B. C., he found a plate supposed to be silver. Closer examination showed that the plate is made of an alloy of platinum and gold. The box itself is otherwise interesting, its sides being covered with inscriptions and designs in gold and silver. It hails from 一 --- 一 WOMAN HAS JA BROKEN NECK. McKesport, Pa.—(Special.)—The case of Mrs. Richard Buck, the woman with a broken neck, is attracting the attention of the medical world to the McKesport hospital. Mrs. Buck sustained a broken neck in a runaway accident the evening of October 16. Last Wednesday she had so far recovered as to be able to sit up in bed, and within a few more weeks, it is said, will be discharged from the hospital, permanently cured. Mrs. Buck is the wife of Richard Buck, a wealthy liquor dealer of this city. (In the evening of October 16, in company with her sister-in-law, Mrs. John Buck, she went driving. The horse scared at a party of boys. Mrs. Buck was thrown out and alighted on the top of her head. Her companion escaped with a few brushes. Mrs. Buck struggled to her feet and walked a number of steps before she was caught by some persons running to the assistance of the woman, when she became unconscious. By the time the victims had reached the hospital, Mrs. Buck had recovered consciousness. She complained of a slight pain in her neck, and said it felt rumb. She was unable to hold up her head. Dr. Theodore Nason, an expert surgeon, discovered that the third cervical vertebra was badly shattered, and that the woman's neck was broken. In spite of this there was no pressure on the spinal cord, and there was no indication of paralysis. This fact had thrown the physicians off their guard when the woman was first admitted, and it was over an hour after the accident occurred when the really serious nature of the case was determined. Dr. Nason gave it as his opinion that the woman could not live many hours. In spite of this the next day found her decidedly improved, although suffering great pain. A consultation was called of all the leading physicians in the city, and it was finally decided that there might be a chance for her life. She was carefully strapped to her bed in such a manner as to forbid the slightest movement. The facture of the vertebra was reduced as much as possible, and nature was left to do the rest. Although the physicians believed the case to be hopeless from the first, Mrs. Buck refused to consider it so. She knew the serious nature of her injury, but when informed that there might be a chance for recovery she decided she would take that chance. Although suffering great pain at all times she did all she could to assist the nurses, and retained her naturally cheerful demeanor. Last Wednesday she sat up in bed for the first time, and the physicians think she will be sufficiently improved to leave the hospital within another month. The physicians regard the case as one of the most remarkable in surgical experience. Although there was a complete fracture of the vertebra there was no pressure on the spinal cord, or, if there was, it was relieved in some way before the surgeons took hold of the case. No paralysis developed at any time. IDEAS FOR THE KITKCHEN. Use a pancake lifter to place cookies on the tin, and to remove them when they are baked. Cold boiled potatoes are more appetizing if a little flour is sprinkled over them while frying. Put wormout pie tins in the sink cupboard and use them to set crocky kettles in. Rub a little butter on the fingers and on the knife when seeding raisins, to avoid the stickiness. If there is not batter enough to fill the gem pan put cold water in the empty space before setting the pan in the oven. Crockery ornamented with gilt bands or figures should be washed quickly and drained dry, never wiped, even with a soft cloth. Rub the inner casing of windows that shove up and down hard with a little hard soap; treat bureau drawers in the same way. Use cheap varnish to attach labels to maple syrup cans, to cans of tea and coffee, to boxes of spices, starch, etc., and all glass bottles. Never leave a glass bottle without a label. To clean a kettle in which onions or other rank vegetables have been cooked, rub with a cloth dipped in hot, strong soda water, then wash in soapy water. Two one-burner oil stoves are more convenient than one with two burners, they are lighter to handle, take up but little room, and the burners can be used to better advantage. Make covers for kitchen holders in the form of bags with a pointed flap at the open end to slip over a button at the other. Canton flannel is the best material for this purpose. Everything we eat and drink and wear runs the gauntlet of germs to an extent which nervous people had better not contemplate. Far too much fuss is made of them. If we listened to all these scares there would be nothing left to do but to get into a bath of carbolic acid and stop there until starvation freed us from the dangers of life. Diphtheria germs survive at least fifteen years. This has been proven by two cases of diphtheria in children who could have contracted the disease in no way except through playing with toys that had been stored fifteen years in an old trunk. As far as can be estimated in a conservative way, 360,000 pairs of shoes are turned out each working day in New England. Quito, in South America, is the only large town at a height of over 9,000 feet above sea level. The greenfinch is the earliest riser of the bird family. It sometimes-begins to pipe at 1 o'clock in the morning. The blackcap comes next and then the blackbird. The largest egg laid by any European bird is that of the swan; the smallest that of the golden-crested wren. Boston's registration this year was the largest in the history of the city, being 108,240.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured. by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rummelling sound or imperfect hearing; and when it is not inflamed, you are not deaf, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cues out of ten can be taken out, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by cuturib) that can not be cured by earlurib or Cure Chur. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, Oa.

He was probably the oldest veteran to offer his services to the government when the Spanish war broke out. It is asserted that preparations are being made to equip many of the boat on lake Michigan with wireless telegraphy outfits, and also for wireless communication between Ludington, Mich. and Manitowoc, Wis., a distance of sixty-two miles.

THE LOWEST RECORD MARK The Corn Yield This Year the Smallest Ever Known. Ohio in the Lead-A General Decrease Re Washington.—The following crop report has been issued by the department of agriculture: The preliminary estimate of the average yield per acre of corn, as published in the monthly report of the statistician of the department of agriculture, is 16.4 bushels, as compared with an average yield of 25.3 bushels per acre in 1900 and 1899, and a ten year average of 24.4 bushels. The present indicated yield per acre is the lowest general average ever recorded for this crop, being 2.2 bushels per acre below the yield in 1881, which has stood for twenty years as the lowest on record. The indicated yield in bushels per acre in the seven principal states is as follows: Ohio, 26.; Indiana, 19.8; Illinois, 21.4; Iowa, 25.; Missouri, 10.1; Kansas, 7.8 and Nebraska 14.1. Of the twenty-three states having one million acres or upward in corn, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Michigan report an average yield per acre below their respective ten year averages. The general average as to quality is 76.7 per cent, as compared with 85.5 per cent in November last and 78.2 per cent in November, 1899. It is estimated that 4.5 per cent of the corn crop of 1900 was still in the hands of farmers on November 1, 1901, as compared with 4.4 per cent of the crop of 1899 in farmers' hands on November 1, 1900, and 5.9 per cent of that of 1898 in hand November 1, 1899. The preliminary estimate per year of buckwheat is 18.9 bushels, against an average yield per acre of 15 bushels in 1900, 16.6 bushels in 1899, and a ten year average of 16.9 bushels. Of the six states having 10,000 acres or upwards under this product, including New York and Pennsylvania, which together contain over three-fourths of the entire buckwheat acreage of the country, four report a yield per acre in excess of their respective ten year averages. The general average as to quality is 93.3 per cent, against 90.2 per cent in November last and 86.4 per cent in November, 1899. Preliminary estimate of the yield per acre of potatoes is 59.9 bushels, against an average yield per acre of 80.8 bushels in 1900, 88.6 in 1899, and a ten-year average of 78.7 bushels. The present indicated yield per acre is the lowest since 1890. Of the states having 50,000 acres or upward in potatoes all except Michigan and Maine report a yield per acre comparing unfavorably with their ten-year averages. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska report less than one-half and Missouri less than one-fourth of an average crop. The average as to quality is 78.4 per cent, as compared with 88.1 in November last and 91.4 in November, 1899. The preliminary estimate of the average yield per acre of hay is 1.32 tons, against an average of 1.28 tons in 1900, 1.35 tons in 1899 and a ten-year average of 1.28 tons. While more than three-fourths of the forty-seven states and territories for which comparative data are available report a yield per acre in excess of their respective ten year averages, such important states as Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota Texas and Arkansas are all included in the region reporting less favorable. The average as to quality is 91.3 per cent against 89.7 per cent in November last, and 93.8 per cent in November, 1899. Of the fifteen principal tobacco states, nine, including Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee, report an average yield per acre of tooaco in excess of their ten-year averages, while six, including Ohio, Wisconsin and Missouri, fall below such averages. The apple crop is considerably below the ten-year average, the pear and grape crops are slightly below and the sweet potato crop is slightly above. Toklo.—The Japanese naval department is preparing to establish a steel plate factory at Kure at a cost of 6 million yen.

R.-Santiago Iglesias was arrested here last Thursday on landing from the Red D line steamer Philadelphia, Captain Furst, which arrived here that day from New York. His detention was due to his non-appearance after having been thrice summoned by the local courts to appear in a case against him and seven others brought in July of last year, when the currency was changed. At that time he persuaded the local federation of labor to order all organizations to go on strike unless they were paid in gold at the same rate as silver—master workmen, $3; journeymen, $2; and ordinary laborers. $1.50. These rates were not accepted by the employers and a general strike which was accompanied by some violence followed. Iglesias, with other members of the committee, was charged with conspiracy, and their cases were set down for trial September 11, 1900. When that date was reached, Iglesias, who was at large on his own recognizance, did not put in an appearance, and the trial was adjourned. As he did not appear on the adjourned day, further adjournment was taken to May 2, 1901, when an order for his arrest was issued, he being then in New York City. He is now in jail awaiting trial in default of $2,000 bail. Tuesday he sent a petition to Governor Hunt asking to be released on his own recognizance, explaining that he made a similar application when first summoned, but that the case was postponed and that no notice of the hearing on May 2 was ever served on him. The public prosecutor asks that he be sentenced to a term of imprisonment on the ground that he is a dangerous labor agitator and is continually causing unrest. Washington.—Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, Tuesday saw the president to protest against the arrest of Santiago Iglesias, who was sent to Porto Rico by the federation to organize the working-men of the island. Before Mr. Iglesias left the United States, Mr. Gompers explained to the president the purpose of his visit and asked that Governor Hunt be notified that his mission was not to stir up strife, but simply to organize labor along legitimate limits. At that time he told the president that Mr. Iglesias, during the Spanish ascendency, had opposed the Spanish regime and had been imprisoned, having been liberated when the American troops reached San Juan. By the president's direction Secretary Cortelyou wrote to Governor Hunt concerning Mr. Iglesias' mission. That letter was dated October 19. Last Saturday Mr. Gompers was surprised to receive the following cablegram from Mr. Iglesias: "Am arrested when stepped ashore. No warrant was shown. Ignored (ignorant?) charges. Remain jail." This message Mr. Gompers showed to the president, and the president immediately sent an inquiry to Governor Hunt as to the cause of the arrest. During Mr. Gompers' interview Tuesday he spoke to the president about labor legislation, the Chinese exclusion act, the extension of the eight-hour law, the alien contract labor law and the convict labor law. Mr. Gompers was especially anxious that the president should recommend the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion act, and he went away impressed with the belief that the president will do so. CHINESE EXCLUSION ACT. Washington.—Western members of congress are preparing to make a hard fight for the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion law next spring. The act expires by limitation in March, and those in favor of its re-enactment expect to encounter a great deal of opposition. The head and front of this opposition comes from Minister Wu, who claims the statute is unreasonable "un-Christian" and unjust, and works against the best interests of the American citizens as well as of the Chinese. On the other hand, the labor forces of the country demand a continuance of the exclusion law. President Gompers of the Federation of Labor has made frequent requests of President Roosevelt to use his influence to secure its revival by congress. TWO CHILDREN BURNED. Springfield, Mo.-Near Marionville Mrs. George Justice locked her two small children in the house and went after water. When she returned the house was in flames. The children were burned to death. THEY RESCUED THE SUN Pekin.—In conformity with a notice which the foreign office sent to the legations all the Chinese officials in the capital gathered Monday at the board of rites to "rescue the sun," which was suffering from a part eclipse. The rescue was accomplished by prostrations, the burning of incense, and the beating of drums. A few foreigners were permitted to witness the ceremony. CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED. Savannah, Mo.—Judge Burns granted Monday a change of venue in the case of Mrs. Richardson, charged with the murder of her husband last Christmas eve. The defendant was accompanied in the court room by her father and sister, her brother-in-law, J. D. Richardson, and sister-in-law, Mrs Blum. The case probably will be tried in December. Missouri Supreme Court Saves Mrs Nesenbauer Neck. Jefferson City.-Alice Nesenbauer of Hannibal was saved from the gallows by a decision of the supreme court, rendered Tuesday, holding that there was no ground for her conviction. She had been convicted and sentenced to death for poisoning her husband. Governor Dockery had refused to interfere in her behalf. She would have been the first woman judicially hanged in Missouri. Mrs. Nesenbauer's husband was employed at the Burlington roundhouse in Hannibal. In July, 1900, she suddenly became ill and died the following night. The symptoms indicated morphine poisoning, and the physicians insisted upon an inquest. Two of Mrs. Nesenbauer's children had died under circumstances that occasioned much gossip. Both had been insured for small sums. Nesenbauer's life was insured for $750. A search by the constable resulted in the finding of a powder in a vault and the bottle from which it had been taken. Mrs. Nesenbauer became excited and declared she would never consent to the dissection of her husband's body. Through a misunderstanding the body was embalmed and the autopsy was never held. Mrs. Nesenbauer was arrested and tried for murder. Throughout her trial and imprisonment she had her baby constantly with her. For her other children she showed no solicitude. On the first ballot the vote stood eight for conviction. The other four acquiesced after being assured that every effort would be made to save the woman from hanging. Save her love for her child there was nothing in Mrs. Nesenbauer's manner while on trial that favorably impressed the public. While witnesses were testifying and vital legal points were being argued she manifested less interest than the majority of spectators, who had been attracted through curiosity. Occasionally when the prosecution would be overruled she would wink at her mother. At other times she would not and smile over a successful contention of the defense or chat pleasantly with some friend. The effects of imprisonment have told on her constitution. She is pale, weak and emaciated. The efforts of those who prosecuted her so vigorously to save her from the gallows encouraged her and her attorneys. Neither the prosecution nor the defense believed that a that a woman would be legally hanged in Missouri. A BRAKEMAN'S DARING ACT. Fort Scott, Kas—The southeastern limited train on the St. Louis & San Francisco narrowly escaped a collision with a wild freight train Monday. The freight train was heavily loaded and coming down the hill south of the city. The air brakes refused to work. The engineer lost control completely. When the train thundered into town on the main line the engine that was to take the fast train south from here stood on the track. The engineer and firemen on the wild train supposed it was the fast passenger, which was then due, and they jumped. The engineer on the other engine saw something was wrong and reversed the lever. As the wild train passed the depot the engine cab was seen to be vacant. A brakeman jumped aboard at great peril and stopped the train within 200 feet of the passenger train, which had stopped for a crossing, directly in the path of the wild train. SWITCHMEN'S SYMPATHY STRIKE. Pueblo, Col.-The switchmen employed by the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad at Pueblo quit work at 12 o'clock Saturday night. They object to handling cars transferred to the Santa Fe from the Denver & Rio Grande, upon which road there is a switchman's strike, authorized by the national organization of switchmen. It is a sympathy strike. F. L. Hawley, president of the national organization, who is at Denver directing the Denver & Rio Grande strike, has wired H. U. Mudge, general manager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, that he has not authorized the Pueblo strike. J. F. Larkin of Topeka, chairman of the Switchmen's union of the Santa Fe lines, says he is not responsible for it. Mr. Mudge says none of the strikers will be re-employed. He is employing new men at Topeka and Kansas City and in a few days will have the places of the strikers filled, he says. According to the Western Electrician, the United States weather bureau will soon establish a system of wireless telegraphy between the Farallone islands and Point Lobos, California, a distance of twenty-five miles. A COURAGEOUS ELEVATOR MAN. New York.—Fire in the carpet-making plant of the Pieton milis in Brooklyn Monday endangered the lives of 800 women at work upon the upper floors of the building, but they were all gotten out. William Stewart, an elevator man, kept his cage going until the last woman had left the building, and then fell unconscious from the smoke and fire fames he had inhaled. RATHBURN NOT DEAD. Louisville, Ky.-Newell C. Rathburn, who was supposed to have died of morphine poisoning in Jeffersonville, Ind. last week, was arrested here Monday. He was in the uniform of a soldier and when taken to the city hall admitted that he was Rathburn. Captain Sullivan, the chief of detectives, who examined the man, says he is convinced he is Rathburn.
