Mount Pelee has been heard from again at time we have an explosion in the United States by reason of Dan Air's opposition against Mr. Curtis we guess Mount Pelee won't do with damage in Kansas. Queenster Long might as well go home far as his chances for United States director is concerned. The people in general demand Curtis and they are going to have him. there doesn't seem to be very much plaint among the teachers if the did retain one colored lady and oral whites. People are at a loss to know the action of the board of educa- tion whether it be a board of equity an- ice or whether it be a board that charges largely partial. As Nick Chiles gested to discharge the old corp of users should mean a wholesale of female instructors married, but to tear down on a special few we s a y as very unreasonable; one married y has as much right to t e a c h a see who are really married or those have been married there is no reference.

DO RIGHT--KNOW THAT YOU ARE RIGHT; BEAR NOMAN; BUT RENDER JUSTICE TO ALL. Recent statistics have been complied which prove that homicide crimes are far more prevalent in isolated districts than in what are generally referred to as congested centers. It is a well known fact that cases of insanity, particularly among women, are most numerous in sparsely settled districts. "It is not good for man to be alone" or woman either. If Miss Stone has recovered from the shock of her race Bulgarian stunt, she might try, her hand at a little odd job of missionary work in southern Illinois. Let us protect our women as earnestly as other races protect theirs. Ex Wichita "Eagle": Near Guelph Summer county last week, on the farm of George Henzel, twelve mules ran away at the same time with three binders. The driver of the foremost was thrown to the ground and the two other machines went over him, gouging the sickles into him and slapping him on eighteen different places with the reel. And as they were bearing him off the field and binding him up his wounds he said. And to think that I was reading in the newspaper last night about the monotony of farm lite driving the toys to the great cities." Ex. It is generally believed that Indian husbands are very mean to their wives, and control them absolutely. This may have been true in olden days of Indian savagery: it is not true now, Mrs. Indians has learned much from her pale face sister. The other morning an Indian man and three women were at the Santa Fe depot. The Indian man was drunk and wanted to get a drink. His wife became angry and jammed him down in a seat. Then she slapped him at least twenty times. The Indian brave tried to defend himself, but his wives under cut him whenever, she wanted to and gave him a good drubbing. The other women paid no attention to the row, but apparently approved of their sister's action. Ex. It we were to examine a list of the men who have left their mark on the world, we find that, as a rule, it is not composed of those who were brilliant in youth, or who gave great Fromise at the outset of their careers, but rather of the plodding young men who, if they have not dazzled by their brilliancy, have had the power of a day's work in them, who could stay by a task until it was done, and well done, who had grit, persistence, commod sense and honesty. It is the steady exercise of these ordinary, homely virtues, united with average ability rather than deceptive display of more showy qualities in youth, that enables a man to achieve greatly and honorably. So, if we were to attempt to make a forecast of the successful men of the future we should not look for them among the ranks of the "smart" boys, those who think they "know it all" and are anxious to win by a short route. Ex. One of the leading young men of Jefferson county is Guy Swallow a young man who has lived in Jefferson county 24 years is nominated for Sheriff to succeed John Newell of Osawkie, the present incumbent. Mr. Swallow went into the convention with 131 delegates and it required 121 to nominate him and he controlled them and carried it by 10 plurality making him the choice of a 11 tie republicans of Jefferson county. Guy Swallow is a native of the state of Vermont having came to Kansas at an early date, being only 7 years old, he has worked himself up the ladder of fame and will be elected in November next to one of the most important offices in Jefferson county. He is a friend to all classes and will control a large vote regardless of politics. He is married and has a loving wife and a sweet boy, Leaster to bless his home. While there may be a little friction along the line against Mr. Swallow by a few luke warm republicans, it is safe to predict that he will be easily elected in November next and will make a first class sheriff. He is a young man of high character and lives at Meriden in one of the most beautiful homes in the city. He is a carpenter by trade and spent many weary hours at the bench, Vote for him no matter who opposes him. DON'T READ THIS Present Clerk of District Court deviates from the course pursued by all former chieftans of that office by refusing even to consider an application from a representative "colored" man in the interest of a colored girl. Curtis says he will continue his regular force to us simply because the colored people demand a colored girl in that office; he hies away by saying that he did not promise us and hence he sees no reason that a Negro should be represented in his office. All we want Mr. Curtis to know is that so long as he has been appointed and expects to be elected he will have the privilege of holding one term so welcome to that, but he need not apply for a second term after spending 15 years already in that office, he may look for greater fields out side after two years On July 7th John McLucas an old resident of Jefferson county sent a letter to Valley Falls containing $35.00 in currency and $19 45 in a check thus far he has failed to hear anything from this remittance, will the post office officials look out for said letter address, "Citizen Bank" Valley Fall Kans.

THE FACTS IN THE CASE This angelic-supreme was accosted by the staff officers of this paper as to his course in the clerk's office, in regard to the "colored people." Naturally, self preservation being the first law of nature, we clamored to have our daughter appointed. Feeling assured after a few minutes conversation, that the gentleman in question was arrogant to us for some personal cause, we withdrew our daughter's application and simply asked for recognition for "some colored girl," on the part of the race, for that office. It has been an honored custom with "Shell" Curtis's predecessors to confer a little special work at copying, or a little clerical work, toward the members of the colored race. This was done by the late A. M. Callaham and by E. M. Cockerell. One of the dailies has seen fit to defend Mr. Curtis by saying that he has nothing against the "Negroes;" in fact, he fought to free them. From one or more conversations with this "Rev. Gentleman" we are of the opinion that he cared nothing for the Negro, but simply fought for the futile sum of $13.00. However, Curtis was not asked to make a permanent appointment. He was simply asked could he not favor some girl of our race with a little special work; if not now, to secure his promise when he would take advantage of the proposition. Failing to secure any satisfaction from him—but rejected and insulted—we were seriously disappointed by this wolf in sheep's clothing, because he had before him two propositions, hence he accepted neither, as he didn't have to. Thinking that he had the Negro vote safe in hss little "watch pocket," or otherwise, he stoutly refused to do anything, or to give assurance of his "dramatic course" in the future. In conclusion, we want to say that no man who is too arrogant to give consideration to a representative citizen of Shawnee county is fit to go before the people with a windy article trying to square himself—which now is too late. Mr. Curtis may also take cognizance of the fact that the insult to the editor has stirred up a nest of snakes, and while he sweetly slumbers he will see in his visions the stroke that broke the serpent's head. We conceive nothing. We will not oppose the Republican ticket, but we shall be a horrible hornet in Mr. Curtis's shirt for turning down the Editor's daughter, who is a second year High school girl, and is competent for the position, simply sought.

"This yere Maine," said the old man, who sat tipped Jack in a crazy armchair on the shady side of the house, sucking the blackest of corncobs. "This yere Maine ain't what it's cracked up to be for game, nowadays. But you fellers from taown come up her, git er crack or jim-buck er two, an' think you're havin' sport. Talk erbout huntin!" He snorted, and Chevier, who likes to jolly the natives along, and could get more information out of a we-hsweep than most men can from a college professor, offered the old settler his bag of "cut-plug" and at once they two began to get chummy. "Oh, of coarse, 'twas poachin'," I heard the old fellow say, and he spat emphatically. "You was askin' erout the Allegash waters. Them usester be good huntin' an' trappin' territory w'en I was younger. How? Take it thirty year ergo—even twenty year back. They're purty now, an' good fishin' an' there's some game; but I took seventy otter pelts out er that string of upper ponds in four weeks one winter, an' otter skins was with fifteen dollars them days. "No, I wasn't makin' a business of poachin'. I had a shack up there an, as I say, in four weeks I salted down them seventy skins. But I only set six skins, and wouldn't have been there to tend them only we had a monstrous run of bad weather an' I couldn't 'tend to reglar business. I was a fur carrier. Yaas, I smuggled the pelts through for other fellers, as you say. "That very wint'n—twas long erbout February, and I knew there was a big storm due mighty quick—I hit the thing 'at I reckoned was the closest call I ever had. For a few moments, Mister, I rillel thought old Gabriel had got his cornet tuned up for me, an' an no mistake! An' wen ye come ter figger on it, there ain't sech a great difrence 'twixt gettin' killed outright an' bein' scared most ter death—an' that last's what happened ter me that trip. "This mere happened jest after I got that run of otter I was tellin' yee—seventy skins, ev'ry one of 'em beauties. I picked up a big sled load an' when I started up Churchill Lake early in the mornin' my shack was wiped o' sight by a brush p'int, the old sled creaked along over the ice as though she felt the weight. But there wasn't any snow to speak of on the river, so she run erlong kinder easy, an' I made good time up Churchill an' erbout dark reached the thoroughfare into Eagle Lake. "I stopped here an' got er bite of A sailboat is seen in the water. "A stretch 'o' black, open water!" supper an 'somethin' warm to drink. But w'en the moon rose there was a big circle round it an' I knew it meant snow, an' lots of it. So I figgered it would be a mighty good idea ter git to Kineo down yere 'bout as quick as I'd be let. I packed up agin', got through the narrars 'twixt' th' two lakes, an' set out down Eagle pond. "That ain't no slouch sheet of water, mister. No, sirree! An' an' she's froze over she looks bigger still. You been there? Then ye know all about it, an' how Pillsbury's the only island in it. I could see the island, like a big patch of shadow on the ice, w'en I started down the lake. The wind was behind me, an' it blew strong an' boosted me along nicely; but the heavy sleed traveled faster n' I did an' kep' rappin' me in the heels. I'd sailed Eagle Lake 'fore that time—in a canoe. Now I jest ran ashore, cut a stout pole an' two cross- pieces, an' set the tarpaulin cover of my sled for a sail. "There warnn't notin' for me ter do but steer clear of Pillsbury Island. n' that warn't a hard job; so I bur- H. H. "This yere Maine nain't what its cracked up to be fer game." rowed under the furs an' sorter dozed off. "The wind kep' risin', but I didn't think no harm, for the sled kep' well ahead of it an' the ice was purty smooth. We skinned erong in great shape, an' the faster we went the better, an' liked it. The v'yge got ter be so easy that I really did fall inter a doze an' had no idea where the sled was till all of a sudden she slurred hard on a wrinkle in the ice. "It woke me quick, an' I started up ter git my bearin's. I didn't wanter run inter the island an' knock it—or myself—off the map. But, by gosh! we was right in under the head o' the island, an' alim' direct for it; an' what I saw ahead driv all th' dreamin' aout o' me, naow I tell ye! "There, ahead of the flyin' sled, not a thousand yards away, was a stretch of black, open water, reachin' clear across the lake! And that old sled, with all its weight of furs, an' me on top of 'em, was rushin' right inter it as fast as haf' a gale c'd drive us. I tell ye, mister, the sight weakened me! "I knew that, all things considered, includin' the heavy runners an' iron work on that sled, she was bound ter go dawn the minute she struck open water, like a ton o' bricks! I might pull out alive myself, though to jump from the thing at the rate she was flyin' would be resky; but them skins would be a dead loss—I was sure o' that. An' I wasn't slow in seein' my only hope for salvation, too. I made a dive forrad for the mast and tried tern uship it. But the derned thing had been too well wedged for me to get it out in a minute. I'd set it up as though I never expected to wanter end my v'yge. "The old sled was a hummin', an that streak of open water was drawin' near at erbout the rate the Yankee Flyer comes up from Bosting. The black gulf was jest ahead an' I could almost hear the waves breakin' erlong the ice-front. Ev'ry moment I expected the runners would cut through the snow ice and I'd go down, mebbe never to come up again! "Tell ye what, mister, 'taint pleasant ant see such a finish ahead of a man. I dunno as I ever felt less 'ready an' willin', as the preachers put it, ter complete my airtight journey as I did at that were identical minute. That was cold water, I knew, an' I warn anxious ter try it. "Lots o' strange thoughts pass through a man's mind at such moments—mostly ideas that ain't no help to him in the emergency he's a facin'. But one good one come to me. 'Cut the roar' suthin' seemed ter say, an' I made a grab for my belt [Illustration of a plant with a long stem, leaves, and flowers.] But I'd jest been usin' the knife tic to cutobacker, and 'twas down there under the furs somewhere—'twould ha' taken a Philadelphi lawyer ter find it! "An' then, 'twas too late to hunt for the knife—too late ter do any thing but shut my eyes an' wait for the first ice plunge! The white ice faded on both sides o' the sled an' I—well, mister, I shet my eye tight, an' kep' em shut, with my head burrowed in the skins. "An' then come a shock that rattled airy tooth in my head an' drove me up inter the air like a stone out o' one o' them catpulps they uster use in Bible times. The old sled stopped dead, the mast snapped square off, and I turned sevral summersals b'fore I landed square on top of my head. "I reckon that landin' kinder knocked some sense inter me, for as soon's I could open my eyes 'thouse seen'trees, an' stars, an' the lake, an' everything else flyn' 'round me in a sort o' merry-go-round, I knew what had happened. I warn drowned; non I won't swimmin' in no lake. I'd landed kerplunk on the rocky shore of Pillsbury Island, and my sled had run into it hard enough to loosen every 'jint in the thing and scatter the skins for yards around. "Ye see, mister, 'twarn open water after all—that black space. 'Twas black ice that had formed across the channel after the other, and since the last-fall of snow. But a man might' jest as well be killed as scaret ter death, an' that were certainly had scaret me. Tell ye what— "Will I? Cert'nly! That's good stuff—ah!! If I'd had a nip of that the night I was tellin' you cf, it might ha'kep me awake an' I wouldn't ex perienced what I look back upon now as my closest call!" EGGS HAD GONE TO SMASH. Why One Should Not Sit Down in the Dark on a Commuter's Train. The train had just pulled out of the Erie station in Jersey City. A large stout man, who had seated himself in the smoking car, changed his mind just as the train entered the tunnel, and he started to get a seat in one of the other coaches. In the coach he entered were many commuters carrying home household supplies in packages. The majority carried their purchases in their arms, but some of them had laid their bundles beside them. The stout man did not hesitate a moment as to where he would sit, and, it being very dark in the tunnel, he just took a chance and sat down anywhere. When he did sit down a crashing sound was heard throughout the car. Just as the train passed out of the tunnel the passengers in the coach were very much surprised to see the stout man standing in the center of the car, his trousers spattered with broken eggs. He was in a rage and was swearing. A glimpse at the seat beside an elderly man who was loaded down with parcels told the tale. The stout man had sat on a couple of dozen eggs that had been placed on the seat. All the passengers sympathized with the stout man. The elderly man next the broken eggs just looked on and never said a word. The stout man stared at him, and evidently suspected him of being the owner of the eggs. He approached him and said: "Who owns those confounded eggs? Do you own them?" "No, sir! Know nothing about them," answered the elderly man. This answer left the stout man nothing to do but keep cool, as he could not prove that the elderly man was the owner of the eggs. The conductor came upon the scene at this juncture, and cleaned the seat as best he could. The stout man decided to stand up for the rest of his journey, and when he left the train at Paterson he shook his fist at the elderly man—New York Sun. REASONING WAS GOOD. Humble Bill Collector Gets Best of Colloquy with Bad Debtor. What is known as the "Bellevue cafe set" is reported as shrieking with laughter over the retort given a pretentious young man who is ridden by a fallacy that his lager-beer income is sufficient to indulge his champagne thirst, as it were. He manages, by considerable exertion, to dress the part, but has not yet found a tailor willing to give him his clothes. One fashionable outfitter dunned him until his landlady showed signs of rebellion against answering the doorbell. He managed to raise the necessary amount, left word that the collector should be admitted on the next visit, and, handing over the money in exchange for the received bill, said loud enough to be heard three flights up: "There's your money! And now will you mind telling me, if you can, what in the devil your employer meant by sending you here eighteen times to collect his petty little account?" "I'm not sure, sir," replied the collector, respectfully; "but it may be because seventeen calls failed to effect a payment. Thank you, sir. Good-morning!"—New York Times. He Reasoned Wrong. "It's all knowing how to reason," said the Pittsburg man as he sighed in a sorrowful way. "I owned a house and lot in a town in our state and was getting a good rent for it when a congregation built a church right on the line. I reasoned it out that the place was spoiled, and when I was offered three-fifths of its former value I made haste to close the deal. I patted myself on the back over that bit of good luck." "And wasn't it good luck?" was asked. "Not a bit of it. I'm a clean thousand dollars out of pocket for reasoning hind end to. The chap who bought my place had twin babies, a piano, a fiddle and a barking dog, and the congregation hadn't occupied that church over four Sundays when it raised a purse and bought him out for twice the value of the place." Religion that is kept for Sunday is apt to ferment about the middle of the week. The longest recorded sitting of the British house of commons was in 1881. On Monday, January 31, 1881, the house, having met at 3:45, continued sitting until' Wednesday at 9:30-a continuous sitting of upward of forty-one and a half hours. The next longest sitting occurred in 1877. On Tuesday, July 31, 1877, the house, having met at 3:45, continued sitting until Wednesday afternoon at 6:15, a period of twenty-six and a half hours. Peach-Growing in Connecticut. Connecticut is getting to be a great peach-growing state, according to J. H. Hale of South Glastonbury. The state this year will probably market 1,000,000 bushels, which is doing pretty well for rocky and bleaky New England. King Alfonso Not a Bigot. By order of King Alfonso a Santiago court-martial has acquitted a young soldier who refused to kneel at mass because he was a Protestant. The sentence asked for by for the prosecution was three years' penal servitude. With this collegiate term, Dr. A. J. Battle will-retire from the presidency of the Anniston, Ala., female college, concluding nearly forty-one years' experience as the head of various Southern institutions. Heat in Incandescent Lamps Incandescent electric lamps give out much more heat 'han is commonly supposed. Only six per cent of the energy of the current is turned into light the remaining 94 per cent being given off in heat. An Abundance of Doctors. On the average the medical colleges turn out every year 5,000 graduates entitled to write M. D. after their names. At the present time the ratio of physicians in active practice in this country is 1 to 500. Fisheries. A comparison has been drawn in Norway as to the profit of the fisheries in the sea and in the rivers, which shows that the former are three times as remunerative as the latter. Saved the Baby. New Providence, Iowa, July 7th.—Little Helen Moon, the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. V. Moon of this place, had a narrow escape from death. Her mother noticed she seemed to be very clumsy and complained when she was rocked. Her limbs and face were bloated badly. A doctor was summoned but she got no better. He said she had kidney Trouble in the worst form. Two other doctors were called in and they agreed that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eyes being completely closed and her abdomen bloated until it was purple. They bought six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and she commenced to improve at once. She had used nine boxes before the Dropsy was all gone. The treatment was continued and now she is as well as ever. Dodd's Kidney Pills certainly saved the little one's life. Clerical Chess Players. "A considerable portion of chess players are clergymen," a minister said the other day. "If you doubt this consult in the newspapers and the weeklies the columns regarding the game and to chess tournaments. It will amaze you the number of Revs, and D. D.'s that you will come upon there. The seriousness of the game is what makes it so particularly attractive to ministers." He Has Lafayette's Handkerchief Joseph Murter, who is perhaps the oldest and best-known resident of Germantown, Pa., can distinctly recall the visit of Lafayette to this country in 1824. Murter, among others, raced behind the carriage of Lafayette and he was rewarded for his enthusiasm by a handkerchief which the Frenchman dropped. He still keeps it as a priceless memento. *Homeseekers' Tickets to the West.* Homeseekers can buy excursion tickets via the Great Northern Railway to points in Manitoba, Montana, Washington and the West, at about one fare for the round trip, on first and third Tuesdays of July, August, September and October. Tickets and information from all Railway Ticket Agents, or F. I. Whitney, G. P. & T. A., St. Paul, Explosions at Home and Abroad. In 1900 there was about one boiler explosion daily on the average in the United Staes and there were 788 victims of explosions during the year. In Great Britain during the same year there were only twenty-four persons killed by boiler explosions and only sixty-five wounded—eighty-nine victims. The Boundary Line. A well-known judge on a Virginia circuit was recently reminded very forcibly of his approaching baldness by one of his rural acquaintances. "Judge," drawled the farmer, "it won't be so very long fo' you'll to tie a string around yer head to tell how fer up to wash yer face." The Drawer, Harper's magazine for June.

I took it a few months ago when I felt my strength giving away, and it soon made itself manifest in giving me new strength and as much blanch Grey. Mrs. X. Schneidler, 241 seventh Place, Chicago, Ill.; writes: "After taking several remedies without result, I began last year to take your valuable remedy, Peruna. I was a complete wreck. Had palpitation of the heart, cold hands and feet, female weakness, no appetite, trembling, sinking feeling nearly all the time. You said I was suffering from systemic catarrh, and I believe that I received your help in the nick of time. I followed your nurses careful, and can say to-day that I can no longer cannot thank you enough for my cure." Peruna curses catarrh wherever located. Peruna is not a guess nor an experiment—it is an absolute scientific certainty. Peruna has no substitutes—no rivals. Insist upon having Peruna. A free book written by Dr. Hartman on the subject of catarrh in its different phases and stages, will be sent free to any address by the Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, Ohio. A remedy that curses catarrh must aim directly at the depressed nerve centers. This is what Peruna does. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.
