Pleasant school house next Saturday be tween the hours of 7 and 9 p. m., to fix up a ticket for the dear people. . Certain men, in his judgment, must in some way handle the funds of the township. But strange as it may seem, some of his neighbors of the north end have gotten on to the racket, and think of calling a convention at a time when the people can attend and select for themselves.

He Has Some Pronounced Opinions on the Indian Question and Ex presses Them. Kansas Citv, Oct. 21. The Globe's Washington correspondent sends the following to his paper, here : The recent publications concerning the Indian office,, with statements to the fact that Senator Plumb will introduce a resolution to investigate the methods prevailing in the matter of the appoint ment of teachers in Indian schools, con tain only a portion of the truth. Senator Plumb is the aggressive represeutative mau in Kausas before the departments in this city and In congress, lie has de manded just treatment for the schools .in and contiguous to Kansas, and Commis sioner Morgan has been 30 unwise as to r sue a goody-goody New England policy, fashioned upon the J. Fenimore Cooper idea of the noble red man,' and utterly at variauce with practical nowa day Indian character. Commissioner Morgan has set himself up as a man pos sessed of superior knowledge upon In dian affairs, whereas he is possessed only of superior power, temporarily, not knowledge. Senator Plumb is no more disappointed with the present administration of the Indian office than are the other Kansas men. lie is simply voicing the senti ments of Senato'r Ingalls and the repre sentatives when he denounces Commis sioner Morgan's administration. Dr. Dorchester, the superintendent of Indian schools, is a preachy of good character, high moral ideas, good intentions, and no practical knowledge of the business. He is opposed to the Roman Catholic chinch, and therefore opposed to Roman Catholics as teachers of the Indians. Seuator Plumb, when last in Washing ton, said to your correspondent: "I know that the Catholic teachers have doue great good. I know that the trained men aud women of the Catholic church are effective for good wherever they go, and I shall not sit idly by and see them abused and vilified 'An- more than I should permit, if I could help it, Jewish prosecutions in Europe, or the social war upon the Irish in this country, which was once typified in the tropical song, 4No Irish Need Apply. The Catholics are among our best citizens, and their teachers are among our best teachers. The present administration of the Indian office has turned our Haskell institute topsy turvy, and the state of Kansas, generally, has been ignored and ill treated in other ways. From what I know of Senator PlHmb, as a public man, I wouldn't give one cent ou a dollar for Commissioner Morgan's chanees of confirmation next winter, and if bets were going, I'shold give long odds that Dr. Dorchester will not be drawing a government salary three months hence. Hon. R. V. Belt, assistaut commis sioner of Indian affairs, has had years of experience in the Indian office aud knows it ly heart. He has protested against the policy of CommissionerMor gan and of Dr. Dorchester, but those in experienced gentlemen have fanatically refused tolisten to the words of wisdom Ii'nd experience, and therefore they have gotten the service into a muddle and themselves into a pretty kettle of fish. Mr. Belt was put there as assistant com missioner in order to steer the business aright; but his splendid abilities have been ignored and he is silent. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. How They Speak-of the New Register. Ulysc-. Tribune: C. F. M. Niles. reg ister of the U. S. land office at Garden City, has resigned, and Hon r ai Frost, of Dodge City, has been appoin ted in his stead. This appointment is regarded by all as a most excellent one. Garden City Imprint: D. M. Frost, of Dodge City, has been appointed register of the Garden City land office at last, the gun hung fire for a loug time but finally went off, we are glad to say. Syracuse Journal : Hon. D. M. Frost, who succeeds C. F. M. Niles as register of the Garden City land office, formerly resided in this county, and in 1872-73 was postmaster at Sarent, now Cool idge, which was at that'time the termi nal point of the Santa Fe. He after wards removed to Dodge City, Ford county, and began the publication of the Globe newspaper, which he discontin ued about a vear aeo. Mr. Frost rpnr- sented Ford county in the Legislature ior one term, ana nas always been an active worker in the republican party. He is eminentlv well Qualified for thn position to which he has been appointed. He and Mr. Taylor will pull well togeth er, and under their control the affairs of the Garden City land office will be ably anu uonesny conducted. J. W. Gregory, of the Garden City Sentinel, in speaking of the new ap pointee says : ''Hon. D. M. Frost, the new appointee is a southwestern Kansas pioneer, a veteran editor and tried re publican. He has resided at Dodge Citv for fifteen years or more and by his work as a Kansan and an editor has well earned his appointment." Harti'und Herald: Hon. D. M. Frost has been appointed register of the Gar den City land oflice. This is quite an houor to Mr. Frost for the reason that he is the only republican office seeker iu the state but what Beu has objected to. When Sam Peters was asking for the ap pointment of Mr. Frost, the president asked him where this mau Frost lived. Mr. Peters replied that he had lived iu Dodge City for ten or fifteen years. Oh ! said the president, so long as he is from Dodge City he must be all O. K., I shall appoint him, and so he did. Lamed Eagle-Optic: Hon. D. M. Frost, of Dodge City, has been appoin ted register of the Garden City land office. The appointment will rellect credit upon the administration, as it is one of the best that could have been made. Garden City Herald, Oct. lo'tb. 1SS9: The news was received last evening of the appointment of D. M. Frost, of Dodge City, to the positiou of register iu the laud office to succeed C. F. M. Niles. Mr. Frost is au old settler iu western Kansas, a staunch republican iu fact he is one of the wheel horses of the repub lican party in this part of the state, and his selection will give general satisfac tion. His claims for this position have been pushed by numerous friends, who naturally feel elated at his success. The Globe-Democrat in speaking of the laud office appointment made on the 14th inst. says: A change was also made to-day iu the office of register at the Garden City (Kan.) laud office. D. M. Frost was appointed to succeed Chas. F.M. Niles. The latter, who is a Demo crat, was appointed November 12, 1SS5, and his term of four years has not quite expired. Mr. Frost's appointment was agreed upon some months ago, "but the matter has been delayed in the hope that Register Niles would resign, this he neglected to do. and he has accordingly been removed. The republican receiver for this office was appointed last July. Samuel Thanhousei. the Democrat, very promptly tendered his resignation it was accepted, and Jesse Taylor was ap pointed. The new register. Mr.. Frdst. is a resident of Dodge City, and iV pub lisher of the Weekly Globe." Meade County Globe: Hon. D. M. Frost, of Dodge City, formerly editor of the Live Stock Journal has been appoin ted register of the U. S. land office at Garden City. Mr. Frost is au old poli tician aud the appointment is received with general favor in the district. Ford Gazette: C. F. 31. Niles, regis ter of the Garden City land district office, has resigned. D. M. Frost of Dodge City, will probably be selected to fill the position. Should Mr. Frost be nominated for the position, Ford county people will be pleased, for they recog nize him to be an able, true republican. Vestibule Trains to Chicago. The Vestibule train is a new factor in western railroad transportation. It is claimed for these trains that on account of their being connected by steel hoods all danger of telescoping in case of acci dent is removed, the train being practical ly one loug car. It is certain that the oscillation of the cars is greatly reduced, and it is also certain that the vestibule trains afford the greatest comfort yet known to travelers. The adoption of this style of train by the Chicago, Santa Fe & California Railway between Kansas City and Chicago is a strong bid for the passenger trafiie betw eeu the west and Chicago. This new road is in many particulars ahead of any of its older competitors, and willundouoteuiy oe tue popular road to Chicago. tf A LURKING DANGER. How to Prevent Many Dysenteries mnd Low Ferers. Every disease for which the physi cians can not satisfactorily account in certain localities is explained by the magical word malaria, and the patient suffers and is weak till the develop ment of fuller symptoms affords oppor tunity for further diagnosis and a new nomenclature. There seem to be, how ever, few diseases which the state of the system, under the influence of ma laria, can not counterfeit, and it is a relief to many a sufferer to know, after having been tormented by apprehen sion of something terrible, that it is not heart failure, or brain trouble, or cancerous stomach, or indurated liver, but only a little malaria that occa sions the suffering, quite unaware that a little malaria incapable of being as baleful as any one of all the others, in filtrating its slow poison, and prepar ing the way for its victims to fail easy prey to a thousand ills, all of which might have been resisted but for the vitiation of the natural forces by this subtle' power of evil. Not only in the positive and visible agencies of fever and chills are the effects of malaria apparent, but wher ever it is present sallow faces, impov erished muscles, undersized stature, poor teeth, and thin hair, languor and absence of ambition and energy, are noticeable; and if ever any great un dertakings are compassed in malarious regions, it is by means of people com ing in from the outside and doing the work before succumbing to the be numbing influence, or else by individ uals who are what gardeners call "sports" upon the prevailing variety. What there is in a water-soaked weed, drying under a hot sun, to evolve such terrible injury to humanity is for science yet to find out. But that there is deadly power in all vegetation that has been saturated and then exposed to great heat is certain: and it is also certain that sometimes the pestiferous effluence is felt the most by people on low levels, at other times, under dif ferent conditions, by those dwelling on hills at a distance of some miles from the malarial source, and that some times a grove of trees or a town acts as a filter or a screen, and prevents the poison from penetrating further. While what has been long known as malaria, meaning merely fever and ague, is confined chiefly to the low latitudes and to fixed localities of al luvial deposit elsewhere, yet there is a notable development of malaria in all places where vegetable growth under goes exposure and decay, thus produc ing not only the common illnesses pro ceeding from 'malarious miasms, but fatal fevers of many sorts. It becomes every one, therefore, even in our own comparatively safe regions, to take two or three measures of precaution that have been discovered to be of use. Omitting, of course, purely medical precautions, which are in the hands of physicians to prescribe, the first of these is a thorough system of drainage wherever there are swamps or marsh lands within three or four miles of dwellings, that being the limit to which the malarial poison can be car ried by the wind, and the planting of a thick growth of trees to intervene between houses and the danger, to act as a shield and screen and absorbent in places where the drainage is not possible or the danger not to be re moved. Another is never to sleep on the lower floor of rooms where there is any suspicion of the existence of mala ria. Another is to use great caution against the night air when not in mo tion, the poison being most active aft er dark, when the sun has withdrawn from us and from the world about us his disease-repelling forces, a caution which forbids in mild autumn even ings much sitting about the lawns or Hngering around the door-steps, and which advises a little wood firo upon the hearth. Many dysenteries and blow fevers might thus be prevented, which. while they may not in themselves be directlRTatal, lead the way, through weakness and a lowering of the tone of the system, to diseases which' know no recovery.'

Besides gases a ton of coal will yield 1,500 pounds of coke, 20 gallons of ammonia water, and 140 pounds of coal tar. De structive distillation of the coal tar gives 69.9 pounds ot pitch, 17 pounds creosote, 14 pounds of heavy oils, 9.5 pounds of naptha yellow, 6.3 pounds naphthaline. 4.75 pounds of naphthoic, 2.25 pounds of alizaran, 2.4 pounds solvent naphtha, 1.5 pounds of phenol, 1.2 pounds of aurline, 1.1 pounds of aniline, 0.77 pound of toludine, 0.46 pound of anthracine and 0.9 pound of tolune. From the last named substance is obtained the lately discovered product saccharine, which is said to be 223 sweeter than sugar. St. Louis Republic. He Was Qualified. "I think," said the young man, as she refused him for the third time, "I will go into the business of photog raphy." 'But," said she, "you haven't the experience." "I don't know about that. I have developed several negatives recently." Washington Capital. TWO NOBLE BROTHERS. Both reriah In Heroic Attempts to Sav Iltch Otlier. Several years ago in the western part of Snyder County a large gang of men were raisin? a barn. A number Of them were pushing up a heavy piece of timber (vertically; to be placed horizontally along where the eaves would be. When the one end was about halfway above the height of the eaves the object was to swing it care fully into position. Albion Deutler. weighing two hundred pounds, was standing at the end of the barn on the upper log. When the timber was al most ready to be swung into position the scaffolding upon which the men at the lower end stood gave way. and every thing being wet and slippery from a recent rain the upper end slid around and struck Albion. He being very quick caught at the moving piece of timber, which soou fastened itself as a temporary cross beam. Albion was suspended from the log by his arms, eight feet from the barn and twenty-live feet from the ground. He was so disabled from the jar that he could neither get into the barn nor hold himself long. On the ground near by his brother Harry and another man were working. Seeing Albion in this predicament, they ran to his assistance and wanted to catch him. "Go away and let me die if I must; you shall not risk your life for mine." said he to his brother. ''All right," responded Harry and at the same time he motioned to his companion to assist him in catch ing AllHOIl. Not over two feet behind Harry was a newly dug well, thirty-five feet deep. He looked into this, fully realizing his dangerous situation, and then turned his eyes toward Albion. The latter, not being able to hold himself any longer, began his descent. ! must, I must save him," said Harry, earnestly. His heroism was at the expense of his own life, for the momentum of the fall ing body was too much for them to check. The sweeping descent of Al bion knocked both men on their backs and hurled Harry head first into the well. Albion in his descent broke one of his arms and two of his ribs. After looking about him and realizing the situation he quickly fastened the one end of a long rope to a tree near by and the other end he dropped into the well, down which he began his descent with one arm, while the pains of his bruises and mutilated body were almost unendurable. Notwithstanding the pain he descended the rope to the sur face of the water, which was eight feet deep. He plunged in to rescue his brother, but alas! was unable to swim and having lost his hold on the rope Harry, while struggling for life, pulled him under. Before the men above could be of any real assistance Harry died. Al bion did not live over fifteen minucs after he reached the surface of the earth. Philadelphia Press. LOW-GRADE GLOVES. How They are Made in the Mountain Dis trict of Ilolit-iul;.. It may, perhaps, interest renders to know tome of the secrets of cheap glove-making. My facts relate to Bo hemia, from which country many cheap gloves are imported. Before the intro duction of the glove sewing machine, which took place about 1870, a simple apparatus was in use consisting of two brass plates, in which the stitches were incised, holding tightly together the leather parts of the glove, while Iho needle of the sewer followed easily these incised stitches. It was an eay work, not at all injurious to body or eye. and an industrious and quiet girl could, without any exertion, sew two pairs of gloves a day. for which sho received from 2 pence to 3 pence each, equal to about 5 pence to 6 pence a day. Very poor wages. But the money was earned in a comfortable way. Let us now compare what progress these girls made in the golden era of machinery. The poor sewers aro never in a position to acquire the requisite sum to be owners of these machines. The district to which I 'refer is a poor, mountainous part, the men mostly miners of an imperial silver mine, with daily wages of 16 pence. The requisite machines aro owned by middlemen, called factors, to whom the glove manufacturers from all parts of Austria send their unfin ished gloves for sewing. These factors are proprietors of a certain number of machines from twenty upwards to a hundred which are fitted up in work rooms, most of them verv indifferently suited for the purpose. The poor girls from the neighboring district have often to walk a distance of eight miles to find work in such workrooms. They leave their miserable cottages at 4 a. m. to begin their day's work at 6 ju m. After a hard labor of twelve hours on a most complicated machine, and after having passed another two hours on their way home, their whole earning consists of 7 pence. Including the hours she loses on the road, sho works ninety six hours a week for 3 shillings 6 pence, her body continually bent over a most complicated machine, her eyes watching leather, thread, and needle incessantly, her foot moving continually, amid the rattle of many machine, in a most sickly atmosphere. This is how cheap gloves are made. Pall .Mall Gazette. w -C i . : - '-?. rJ - Z-Jl II I'll ill ill 1 1 l SI
