Sol Miller with his prophetic eye fixed on the future says : "If machinery keeps on improving, the time is not far distant when men and women will be of no use at all.

A sweet girl graduate says an ex change, thus described the manner in which a goat butted a boy out of the front yard; "He butted the previous end of his anatomy against the boy's af terward with an earnestness and veloci ty, which backed by the ponderosity of the goat's avoirdupois, imparted a mo mentum that was not relaxed until he landed on terra firma, beyond the pale of the goat's jurisdiction."

Breidenthal is giving the populist press a letter, pathetically worded, and purporting to enclose five dollars from a poor sewing woman, the earnings of many weeks, no doubt he would have us believe, as a reward for the suffrage plank in the populist platform ; but this poor, distressed, overworked woman has two children drawing fifteen hundred dollars per annum from the pop admin istration. Poor, dear, woman! If she could only vote how many dollars more could she contribute and how many more of her progeny she might find jobs for! Alas! Alas! Poor Calpurnia! George Barnes, of Morlan township, the Shetland pony man, attended a dance in that township recently and had a pair of blankets stolen from his buggy. Not long afterward he attended another dance and took his blankets in with him. Having attended camp meeting pretty regularly he got sleepy and con cluded to lie down using his blankets as a mattress. Towards morning he be came cold and put the blankets over him. When he woke up he discovered that some one had stolen his blankets again, having taken advantage of his sound slumbers to do the deed. This is a true story, for Barnes tells it himself. -Hill City Reveille. Next Wednesday is the Fourth of July. Georgia water melons are on the market at Topeka. T. C.

Henkel are the dele gates from Trego. The Democratic Congressional con vention met at Phillipsburg Thursday. W. E. Saum, A. H. Cox and Col. Rey nolds attended the convention. The populists yelled when a tele gram announced, at their recent state convention, that the sub-committee on elections had reported to unseat Funston and seat Moore in the Second Congres sional district. Funston is a farmer and voted only a short time ago for the free coinage of silver. Moore is a banker, yet he is cheered to the echo by this par ty which professes to want more farmers in high places in the management of public affairs. Why those lusty cheers, populists? We have to-day received a copy of Chancellor Snow's" third annual report in regard to the success of his chinch bug infection. About 100 of these re ports have been sent to the county com missioners of this county for distribu tion. Should anvone interested in the spread of the chinch bug disease fail to receive a copy of the report from the commissioners, he should send 6 cents in stamps for postage to F. II . Snow, Law rence, Kansas, who will on receipt of the application forward a copy of the re port. If one-half of H. N. Gaines' utter ances to Ed. Barber, of the La Cygne Journal, are half true they show Gaines to be a hypocritical sneak of the vilest sort. Evidences are increasing that Gaines is a foul-mouthed, profane black guard who ought to assigned to a place as prince of devils instead of standing at the head of the educational interests of a great state. Barber is backing his statements concerning Gaines with affi davits that seem unanswerable, and the people ought to know the character of the man whom they choose for Superin tendent of Public Instruction. As Editor Brown of the Kingman re form paper was returning from the pop ulist convention, where he had been working against the adoption of the suf frage plank, in order to get even with Mrs. Lease who skinned him so unmer cifully two years ago at the convention held in Kingman, he was met at the depot by a crowd of Kingmanites who collared him as he was getting off the train, and clothed him in a red petti coat, yellow Mother Hubbard and blue sun bonnet and compelled him to walk through the principal strepts of the city in that regalia. The red petticoat will be sent to Suean B. Anthony as a trophy of the first triumph of the campaign. During the past two weeks the Ot tawa Assembly has been in session. This is one of the most noted literary meetings in the state of Kansas and each year it seems larger and more in teresting than before. The grove is fine and every natural facility is generously afforded by Forest Park in which the annual meetings are held. Noted speak ers, singers and specialists in almost every department of education and cul ture are secured by the management to conduct the work. The cost is small, and the opportunity for an outing each year is unsurpassed. It gives the women a splendid chance to have a good deal of bodily recreation coupled with mental recuperation. The Ottawa Chautauqua is, all in all, a beneficent organization doing good work for higher culture. Nearly every change of price in commodities which the iarmer has to sell is downward. There seems to be no prospect for any thing better in the near future. Hogs and cattle have maintained a good iigure compared with the decline in the price of horses and wheat, but the present price oflhogs and cattle can not be long maintained in the face of prevailing circumstances. Two or three million men, with fheir fami lies, would consume a vast amount of provisions in twelve months if they had the money to buy with. But these men are not earning anything and conse quently their ability to buy is cut off, and it is only a question of a short time when the pork and beef supply will ex ceed the demand. The laboring men who are now out of employment are, as a rule, high livers. The miners, as a class, eat heartily and of the very best there is in the market while their work and wages continue. Let a strike be or dered and their tables must be lighten ed at once, for few of them lay by any portion of their savings for a rainy day. The same is true of factor employes. The inability of these classes to continue to buy their usual large amounts of breadstuff and meats must eventually be felt by the farmers who find the market glutted in consequence of the unemployed. The way to restore prices is to restore employment. The way to restore employment is to issue produc ers of manufactured goods the same market they have had heretofore. The way to do this is to quit tinkering with the tariff. It is not so much what the tariff is upon as it is the constant dread of a ruinous change that makes times so uncertain in manufacturing districts. The,populists are crying down with national banks and while they are try ing to denationalize the banks they are clamoring to nationalize everything else. If the banks are not managed in the in terests of the people, as populists aver, what assurance have they that the same federal authority would not mismanage the railroads, telegraphs, etc.? If one is not good why would the other be? A change, a blowing of a tin horn seems to be about all the anrument there is in the nationalizing schemes of the populists The wholesale abuse of Kansas Re publicans hy the woman suffrage leaders at the Topeka indignation meeting was, to say the least, bad politics. The adop tion of the suffrage amendment in Kan sas this fall depends largely upon the votes of Republicans who expect to vote for suffrage, but who considered it inex pedient lo put the plank into the party platform. Too much abuEe from the leaders of the movement may have the affect of souring many of these voters and lose the amendment many votes. Miss Anthony and Rev. Shaw are acting in this matter more like emotional and captious women than like broad gauged politicians. K. C. Journal. One of the vilest and most unreas onable papers published in the state to day is the Ottawa Journal, State Printer Snow's paper. Says the Eureka Messen ger, (democratic) of its editor : "The editor of the Ottawa Journal preaches a doctrine that destroys hope and paralyzes individual effort; a doc trine that crushes the spirit and dims the eye of every person who accepts it. He is a teacher who tells the boys and girls of the country that they are doom ed to a life of unrequited toil ; that they can never hope to do or be anything in the world by honest, patient effort ; that corrupting and oppressive wealth has closed all the paths to competence and honor and that the only thing left for the great majority of our people is to oppose everything that is established and spend their lives in a calamitous howA against existing conditions. The reader of a paper like the Journal run the risk of a man who exposes himself to a contagious and incurable disease, for if the virus of the Journal's doctrines once enters a person's mental organization, he can never be entirely sound again. The doc trines of the Journal fall like a wither ing blight upon all those attributes of human nature that make men and wo men hopeful, progressive and attractive. Like the lurking poison of a loathsome disease they vitiate the currents of life and transform bounding, vigorous health into impotent and offensive corruption. They embitter the mind, sour the dispo position, curdle the milk of human kindness, btifle ambition and destroy human character." Obituary. Died, Sunday, June 24, 1891, at the home of his eldest daughter, Miss Oliie Musgrave, in Ogallah township, William Jeffers, of consumption, in the 40th year of his age. Mr. Jeffers was a Christian man, was perfectly resigned and said he felt pre pared to go and hoped to meet his loved ones who had gone before. Mr. Jeffers was born October 11, 1854, was married June 11, 1874, to Missouri Watt, who died August 19, 1884, leaving deceased with five little children, three boys and two girls, the youngest of which followed its mother in September. He lived in Illinois and followed school teaching for a livelihood, but was in very poor health. He came to Kan sas in 1892 an 1 seemed to improve for awhile. He went back to Illinois and began to grow worse. Last fall he moved to Oklahoma, from thence to Colorado and finally came back to Kansas about a month ago. Deceased was a member of the Christian (or New Light) church. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. F. II. James, and the remains in terred in Ogallah cemetery. From the Hays City Sentinel. On Saturday afternoon a hail storm of unusual severity swept over Northern and central Ellis county. It was very danlaging to growing crops, many fields of wheat and corn beinjj cut to pieces. The principal damage Ties in Buckeye township, where also the most promis ing crops could be found. Many larmers put their loss at from one-half to total. A whirlwind struck the places of Hiram Joy and Howard Baker. Joy's stone residence was unroofed, and .Mrs. Joy received some serious bruises from fall ing debris. She remained unconscious for some time, but is now out of danger. At Baker's, the house, barn, granary, sheds, etc., were moved from their foun dations, all the way from a few to a hun dred feet. It is reported that several houses near Fairport were blown down or damaged, but we have received no particulars. Within the week three heavy rains have thoroughly soaked the ground. From uow until further notice it will be known as "Philip's OLera house." We have always felt that Georgie's hon esty and sobriety coupled with his Scotch tenacity of" purpose would event ually bring him fame, and now it piles upon him like an avalanche in June. Brutal Assault of Two Girls at Dighton. At Dighton, Lane county, before day light this morning, some unknown brute made his way into a room occupied by Miss Belle Donovan and her younger sister, and after beating the younger girl into insensibility he choked the other into submission and twice ravish ed her. The fiend then made his escape and the girls are able to give little de scription of him beyond saying he was a white man. Both girls are in a pre carious condition. The whole county side is aroused and people are . out searching for the fiend in all directions. If he is captured he will undoubtedly be lynched. Capital 25th inst.

President 'Carnot, of France, was stabbed through the left side by Cesard Giovanni Santo, a young Swiss anarchist, last night while on his way to attend a fete at the theater, and three hours later was dead. The knife of the murderer had pierced through the upper liver and from the first there, was no hope of his recovery. The wretched assassin was terribly beaten by the infuriateYl people who wit nessed the terrible crime, but was saved for the guillotine by gendarmes and sol diers. The international silk exhibition in this city was opened yesterday, and President Carnot and most of the minis ters were honored guests. The distin guished party spent sometime at the.ex hibition and were then tendered a ban quent at the chamber of commerce. A galla performance had been arranged at the principal theater for the evening, and the president and his party started for the structure at 9:25 o'clock, the president's party in front. The streets were lined with enthusiastic people who cheered repeatedly for their popular chief magistrate. All seemed perfectly bright and only one of all the hosts on streets was aware of any cloud to mar the happiness of the people of France. The president's carriage, which was in the lead", had been driven slowly down the Rue de la Republique when, just as he was waving his right hand and saluting with his hat in his left, a man pushed his way through the "cheer ing masses and leaped upon the step. A long knife was in his hand. A mo-,, ment it flashed in the electric light beams as it was raised aloft. Then be fore even one cry of warning could be uttered, it descended with terrible force. The president fell back on the seat of the carriage while one hand pressed his left side. M. Rivaud, prefect of Lyons, whose guest President Carnot was, leaped up like a flash and struck the cowardly as sassin a blow full in the face, hurling him from the step just as he was preparing to raise the bloody poinard for a second blow. The tragedy occupied but an instant, but that instant plunged all France into mourning. Old Glory. The United States flag was 117 years old June 14. If any national colors are entitled to the designation "Old Glory," those adopted by Uncle Sam 117 years ago certainly are. The flag of the United States is older than the m ijority of the flags of European nations flying to-day. The flag of Great Britain was adopted in 1801, or twenty-four years after that of the United States. The flag of Spain was adopted in 1785, while the tri-color of France, also the red, white and blue, took form in 1794. The flag of Portugal was adopted in 1810, that of Italy in 1848, and that of the German empire in 1871, so that the starry banner of the United States may be" called the "Old" flag. The Stars and Stripes also have been through more battles and have waved over more victories, both on the seas and the land, than any other flag flying in any part of the world to-day. Its near est competitor is the flag of Great Britain, but bince 1800 British victories on land and sea have been inconsidera ble as compared with those of the Unit ed States. More lives have been given up and more limbs sacrificed in the de fense of the Stars and Stripes than for any JMiropean nag. Uver a million men have died in order that that pretty bunt ing might remain unsullied, and an army of 25,000,000 unenlisted men stands ready to-day to see that no dis honor befalls Old Glory. The flag of the United States undoubt edly was suggested by the national flag of Netherlands, which at that time con sisted of three horizontal stripes sym bolic of the rise of the Dutch republic. Netherlands was often referred to by the founders of the United States as a model for our present form of government, and it was frequently quoted in the debates in the Constitutional convention. On June 14, 1777, the American congress re solved that the flag of the thirteen states should be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, and that the Union be a blue field with thirteen white stars ar ranged in a circle indicating "a new con stellation" among the nations of the earth, the idea of the flag being that each star and each stripe should repre sent one of the thirteen original states. In 1794, on the admission of Kentucky and Vermont into the Union, the fiag was made with fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, but on July 4, 1818, it was changed so that there should be the or iginal thirteen stripes, while a new star was to be added for each state. The stars and stripes, in the course of 117 years, has been carried into all quar ters ef the globe and into all navigable corners of the ocean. It has floated from some of the highest mountain peaks in the world, and has been carried down into the iowest caves and coal pits. It waves to-day over more nationalities than any other flag on earth. Then let the eagle scream and the small boy shout! Hurrah for the Stars and Stripes!! N. Y. Sun. Perfectly at Home.

Gunderman, of Di mondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract: "I have no hesita tion in recommending Dr. King's Hew Discovery, as the results. were almost marelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it faeemed that she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in results." Trial bottles free at Jones & Gibson's Drug Store. Regular size 50c and $1.00.

Barber, a prominent newspaper man of La Cvcne, Kan., was taken with cholera morbus very severely. The night e'erk at the hotel where he stopping happen ed to have a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and gave him three doses which relieved him and he thinks saved his life. Every family should keep this remedy in their home at all times. No one can tell how soon it may be needed. It costs but a trifle and may be the means of saving much suffering and perhaps the life of some member of the family. 25 and 50 cent bottiea for sale by Jones fc Gibeoa. i A1 A Hi - .. 3 , J 4W2 r . i t, -" ft J.
