The State Teachers' association meets at Topeka next week beginning on the evening of the 26th and continu ing through the two following days. Andrew S. Draper, formerly State Su perintendent of York State, and the Rev. Robert Mclntyre, of Denver, are two worthy attractions from without the state who will be in attendance and de liver lectures. Eugene V. Debs, who led the rioting strikers with his mouth in Chicago last summer, was found guilty of willfully violating the strike injunction and sen tenced to six months' in jail by Judge Woods of the United States Circuit court. A light sentence for an offence entailing so much suffering on those he so illy advised. Most of the other offenders were sent up for three months. Volume 1, Number 1 of the New Cambria, (Mo.) Independent was receiv ed at this office Monday. Its a bright, newsy 6-column quarto .and A. E. Mc Collum, a former editor of the Omnicrat is publisher. The political complexion of the Independent is designated by its name. The World and Mr. McCollum's many friends in Trego county wish him unbounded success in hia new journalis tic venture. On Tuesday the Hon. William Al fred Peffer, the Wisdom-Trust of the Kaw, introduced into the Senate a batch of bills, 6ft.x52, covering most things under heaven, and so brilliant with genius that the bonny feet pages had to put on blue spectacles. Government freight railroads, a flexible currency, reasonable compensation to railroad em ployees, preventions of interruptions of inter-State commerce by strikes, those were among the noble plana fresh from the Pefferian thought foundry. And Peffer ia good and kind as well aa great. He knows what dangers of exhaustion Congress is exposed to while the foun dry continues to run overtime, and to the bane he brings the antidote. One of his bills provides "for the proper dis position of deceased members of the Senate and House of Representatives who die at the capitol during sessions of Congress. Such thoughtfulness as this of Mr. Peffer ia too rare, especially among populists. N. Y. Sun. Fresh oysters at Baker's. Xmas presents at Cortright's. Colorado potatoes at Bestor's.

Last week the price of farm insur ance was advanced all over Kansas from 50 ctnts per hundred to 60 cents per hun dred. Now let the pops howl. JJ. w. Jastman, ot imporia, won the prize offered by the Kansas Breeze to the one guesing nearest Major Mor rill's vote for governor. On September 1st he made his guess at 149,310 votes. The official count gave Morrill 148,697. The Republican candidates for the United States Senate thus far announc ed are J. W. Ady, of Newton ; J. R. Bur ton, of Abilene ; Calvin Hood, of Em poria; A. W. Smith, of McPherson; Cy rus Leland, of Troy; S. O. Thatcher, of Lawrence; with A. H. Horton, John J. Ingalls and S. R. Peters as possibilities. All good and able men. Go to C. W. F. Street's and see his new heating stove, tie calls it "lhe Trash Burner."

BESTOR- i Mr. John Schlyer, our representa tive elect, we are pleased to say, believes in garden irrigation. Last year from ess than half an acre of ground he rais ed more than enough vegetables for his whole family and put up a couple of kegs of pickles, cabbage, etc., for winter use. He irrigated with a wind mill from one well and says that it pays. He will be with the friends of irrigation in the leg islature this winter. Hays Republican. The funniest thing in the irrigation movement are the objections that are made to it. "Overproduction is a night mare to some. Others see the "water supply exhausted." There was an old maid once who cried as if her heart would break in thinking what a burden of sorrow she would have to bear if she would marry and have a baby, and it should fall in the fire and be burned to death. La Crosse Chieftain. While the most talk is being made about the big irrigating ditch, let it be borne in mind that if the country is to be saved by irrigation plants of the far mer who can water only one acre or thereabouts; If every farmer in Rooks county will arrange to irrigate and prop erly cultivate one acre, it will complete ly solve the problem as to hia living ex penses, and there will be no Colorado potatoes or onions shipped in next year. Stockton Record. The following is the list of jurors drawn for the January term of court. Court convenes Monday, January 28th, 1895 : Peter Mahlberg, Brownell ; S. S. Harvey, Ogallah ; H. H. Cawley, Frank lin; Samuel Anderson, Riverside ; E.L. Fry, Franklin ; John Colberg, Riverside ; Charles F. Hawkes, Collyer; Warren George, Ogallah; F. B. Walker, Wa Keeney; A. P. Lawrence, Wa-Keeney; Edward Chalk, Wa-Keeney; George D. McCready, Wa-Keeney. The Wa-Keeney Omnicrat goes over to the London (Eng.) Echo to find an article strong enough to suit its depraved nature. That article asserts that the treets of this country will flow with blood before the sun rises on January 1, 1900. Nothing, the Echo says can avert 'calamity to imagine." There ought to be a law to ship out of the country be fore January 1, 1895, any anarchist who would republish such a dastardly article for the purpose of endorsing it. Let all such putrescences be provided for in th e aw soon to be passed by Congress to rid this country of anarchists. -The state printer plumb ia still the bone of party struggle among a number aspirants chief among whom are Major Hudson, of the Capital, George W. Crane, the accommodating job printer of Topeka, Ed. Greer, of Win field, and E. W. Hoch, of Marion. No doubt any one of the gentlemen who as pire to the position could fill it well, but the question confronting the tax payers of the state is why should the 6tate printing be such a desirable plum? Why should the state be compelled to pay such enormous prices for its work? The state printing should be no "plum" but rather a reasonable compensation for the work done. No matter whether the state printer be a populist, democrat or republican the office should not be considered a magnificent donation for services rendered the party. Let us pay for our state printer at a price that we could get the eame work, quantity and quality considered, done elsewhere and do away with making the state printery fat job for anybody. If the republican house wants to retrench in a place that the people, outside of the candidates for the position, will appreciate let them begin with curtailing the cost of the state printing.

SUICIDE. David Dietrich Ends His Life by Shooting Himself With a Shotgun. From the Ellis Review-Headlight . Our quiet little city was startled last Saturday by the report that David Diet rich, until lately employed as a ma chinist in the shops, had committed sui cide at the house of August Schultz by shooting himself in the head with a shotgun. An inquest was held before Justice Ross, acting coroner, on Monday and the following facts were brought out : August Schultz testified that Dietrich came to his house on Sunday and asked permission to stay over night, as he had formerly rented a room there while working in the shops. About 7 :30 he and Schultz started toward the round house, Dietrich stopping atNewcomer's. Schultz returned home in about an hour and found the door locked, but obtained an entrance and found Dietrich lying on the floor. He kicked him on the foot and asked him what he waa laying there for. He then noticed his shotgun lying on the floor and picking it up found it was wet, and taking it into another room where had a light, he saw that the gun was covered with blood. He returned to the room where Dietrich's body lay and found that he was dead. He imme diately notified the neig'hbora and an examination showed a horrible eight i I f I m I 1 f H m I Efe i I ii 0 :i it, f '. 'i-:. I It: 3 on t Read Tfyis?

Just received a -nice, new line in Fleeced Wool .and Cotton. the room where Dietrich lay being com pletely spattered with blood and brains. Dietrich had evidently placed the muz zle of the gun to one side of hia face and literally blown his head to pieces. He had evidently gone to work deliberately to accomplish hia end. Two letters ad dressed to A. Muhlheim had been plac ed in the window, they having previous ly been written at home. The letters contained a good deal of rambling thoughts, fcoing to show that he had worried a good deal over losing his posi tion in the shops, and the remainder waa of little interest to the public. Several other witnesses were examin ed and after deliberation the jury brought in the following verdict: That his death was caused by a charge of shot from a shotgun tearing awav the front portion of hia head. That said gun was discharged by himself with suicidal intent while in a temporary insane con dition. Mr. Dietrich had been employed as a machinist in the shops for about seven years, ana uvea witn nia lamily on a farm north of town. He was a member of the Workmen lodge and hia family will get $2,000 insurance money. He was of a very nervous temperament and every little thing seemed to worry him. Last Saturday he told a friend that he had not been able to sleep for eight daya and waa undoubtedly suffering from nervous trouble when he committed the rash act that ended his life. mi i me mnerai services were held, in Grand Army hall on Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev.

The usual peaceful quietude of our lit tle city was thrown into a state of excite ment Monday evening when it was learned that the depot was broken into and that our station agent, Mr. J. W Whitmer, had been relieved of not only $28 of the TJ. P. Railway company's money and about $15 of hia personal as sets, but his little 22, too. The entrance to the depot was affected by demolish ing the west pane in the bay window. Two suspicious looking characters, who were "armed to the teeth," and who had been hovering around our lit tle city for a day or two previous arous ed the suspicion of our citizens and called them to arms. Every man and gun in town were pressed into service, to hunt down the miscreants. VY ith the earth covered with a light enow, aided by a light moon, it was an easy matter to trace the footsteps of both man and beast, hence the trail was eoon strucic ana a number started in pursuit of the robbers. The wind blew and the snow drifted, and the pursuit was abandoned. in the meantime our station agent hied himself to Collyer and heralded the news to our neighboring towns. H. bampson and L. A. Myers took upon themselves to guard the town and secreted themselves, with two trusty 32- iv o ii me jjucLuujce, anu BIIOUHI any one attempted a torcible entrance it would have ben woe unto the perpe trators, but no one molested the peace ful slumbers of the town.
