been In Leavenworth some months be

the Conservative. He paired as a Re-

favorable opinion of the young man.

HONORED DEAD.
Twenty-one years ago, yesterday, the
darkest tragedy known to history was
enacted at Ford's theatre in Waahing-
ton. On that memorable day, when the
country waa filled with rejoicing over
the termination of a cruel civil war,
Abraham Lincoln waa most foully assas
sinated by John Wilkea Booth. It was
not until the assassin's bullet bad pene
trated the brain of our noblest pros!
dent that the veil hiding his greatness
waa torn aside, revealing to the country
the true character of the man whose loss
could never be replaced. Twentyone
years of tepid progression In all thing
baa not dimmed his memory, tor it Is
even dearer now than In those first days
of bereavement, when the country
mourned lor turn ana could not be com
forted. Ilia me, character and work
has t'been analyzed and written about
more than any man of the century, and
yet no person has ever discovered a dis
honest act committed by him, or aoy
deed that would lower him In the es
teem of the people, ' Lincoln still liyes,
though dead. HI strong and simple
character, humble beginning, high
achievements and tragio death have
caused the people to place a wreath of
flowers around hia name that a loving
nation will never let wither, but will
keep forever In blooming beauty. Dead

Wn notice a paper among our ex
changes called the Osage City Free
Press. The nauseating sucker and
taffy giving editor of the Topeka Bute
Journal having: called our attention to
the fact that brilliant prragraphs occa
aionally appeared In It, we carefully
scanned its columns. The paper bears the
stamp of pride and brings a vision to our
eyea of an editor whose brains have left
his head to occupy h la belly. The name of
the editor does not appear on the paper,
but be Is prooably some old ' chestnut,
who imagines that because he
edited . , a paper for a
number of year he la the leading expo
nent of western Journalism. The gen
eral tone of the sheet give exchanges
this hint, "you tickle me and I'll tickle
you." It perhaps ill becomes ua to ex
pose the policy of the Free Press, for the
editor pays the Mews men this hand
some compliment: "The young gentle.
men who are, at present, engsged all
over that paper (the lisws) are yen
smart it might be said that they are
quite flip very fly, so to spesk " We
acknowledge this little notice and while
a blush mounts our scarcely twenty-one
year old cheek wish to remark modestly
that we "young men" are very grateful to
the Free Pres for such kindly notice
and It ia our chief ambition to be able to
win the golden opinion of the Lord
High Everything Else of Kansas Jour
nalism.
Thb News says that "the Inter State
Collegiate Oratorical contest will be
held in this city on the 6th of May." In

trom other pacer and running it
original the News man should exercise
more care in making the necessary
change in the phraseology. Tbe Item
in which tbe above appears is from tne
Lawrence uazette. in whicn place tne
contest will take place Instead of Em
porta, a tne enterprising successor ed
itor of tbe News makes it appear In that
paper. tmporla Democrat.
We regret the typographical error that
made the News announce the Inter State
contest would be held In this city in
stead or Lawrence, As to clipping an
item trom the Lawrence Gazette, we do
not remember as to whether we did or
not. One thing is certain, however, the
item waa worth clipping and publish
ing. Aa to what Interest the Democrat
editor can have ia what we clip or pub
lish, puzzles us. He can rest
assured that we will never
publish any ot hia Items
we would certainly be compelled to
alter the "phraseology," or better, re
write them. For instance, appropriat
ing Is probably the word the brilliant ( T)
editor of the Democrat wished to nse
Instead of "appropriation" editorial.
We commend the caref ui perusal of this
old saw to the Democrat man : "People
who live in glass houses shouldn't

prior to 1884, but resigned on account of

his re-election to the office yesterday.

thought to be imminent on several of
the railroada centering in Chicago to

non-union men in tbe employ of the
companies, in addition to tbe demand
made upon the Lake Shore yesterday
morning, thirty-five switchmen em
ployed by tbe B. & O. road sent a com
mittee to the officials asking that the
non-union men be dismissed. Tbe
officials replied that an answer would be
given at noon.

Cattle Raising on the Plains.
During the winter of 1871 and 1872 I
engaged in the handling of Texas cattle
in tne semi-arid belt of Kansas. I had
provided no food for my stock. I knew
that cattle could and did winter on the
plains far north and west of where I
was; but I did not know that there waa
a difference in the nutritious qualities of
mo uiuereni prairie grasses. 1 did not
understand the peculiarities of the
climate of the serai-arid belt nor the
enects of rain fallinsr on dead erass.

The Beaatlrnl Miss Chamberlain.
Miss Chamberlain is now 23 years
old, and is the daughter of Mr. William
Chamberlain, of Cleveland, in, and ine
granddaughter of Mr. Aelah Chamber
lain, who was one of the wealthiest re
sidents of that city. Hor mother was
a Miss Wilson, also of Cleveland. Mrs.
Chamberlain owns many lots in the city
of Cleveland which were for many years
poor property, but which four years ago
rose suddenly in value anu maue ner a
rich woman. But Miss Chamberlain's
position as an heiress is due to her
grandfather, "old Zclah Chamberlain."
as be is known, ror many years ne
held in his possession Minnesota state
bonds to a large amount on whose in
terest the state had defaulted. One day
about ton years ago the Minnesota legis
lature resolved to pay this back interest
to a certain amount, inis was tele
graphed to Mr. Chamberlain by a
friend, and the latter immediately hired
a special engine and steamed to 5t
Paul, arriving there before any other
bondholders, and receiving the full
amount due him.
It was after this little episode and in
the summer of 1881 that the Chamber
lains decided to spend a summer in
Newport whither they repaired with
their daughter, and there she made her
debut She attracted considerable at
tention from her slight but perfectly-
formed figure, her delicate, pearly com
plexion, her rich brown hair and eyes,
small and perfect mouth, and her nat
uralness of manner and conversation.
Going from Newport to London, she
made a success at once upon her en
trance there the following season, and
it was not long before it was reported
that the prince of Wales was devoted to
her. Many exaggerated stories of her
friendship with the prince have since
been publicly told, but no charge of any
departure from perfect propriety of con
duct has ever been made against her,
despite the gauntlet of envious eyes and
tongues she nas constantly been obliged
to run. The story told of her that she
first called the prince "Jumbo." while
amusing is hardly true, as he had long
been known as "Jummy" among a
certain set of his associates, a nickname
which the duke of Portland also holds.
Getting Down to Weight.
College students enter into their ath
letic contests with an enthusiasm that is
refreshing, and "Featherweight" in
tbe Boston Globe, tolls an interesting
6tory about the preparation of the
technology students. At their games
the juniors won the tii-of-war, and
. i i i . i , i . i .
mereoy nsngs a taic. uen m iour
men who were to represent tbe class of
'87 began to pull together it was found
that they were weighed twenty-four
pounds over the limit six hundred
pounds. This, too, was when they all
supposed to be in the pink of condi
tion; but they must take off those
twenty-four pounds of extra weight and
and every expedient known by the ath
lete to reduce weight was resorted to.
In fact they went through a course of
training that would put to the blush a
prize-fighter preparing for a battle in
the ring. Finally, on the night before
the eventful day, they were again
weighed, and, to their consternation,
they were still too heavy by one and a
half pounds. They were not going to
give it up then, so they decided to re
frain from any more food until they had
been accepted by the officials on the
following day. The time for the official
weighing found each one fearfully
hungry, nut when they stepped on the
scales and found that they weighed but
599 75-100 pounds and were eligible to
pull, they thought no more of eating,
out went to work on the cleats just a
quarter of a pound under weight When
they had won their first heat they sud
denly disappeared, but showed up in
time for the last pull. The "sophs"
were to be their opponents, and they
demanded that the juniors be weighed
over again, but the referee said no.
The 87 men had been weighed and ac
cepted once, and as they had pulled one
heat they were eligible to null again.
Now, the juniors had precisely this view
of the matter, and as they were decided
ly hungry after winning once, they
slipped out and broke their fasting.
The sophomores discovered the clever
trick of their elders, but the only satis
faction they could get out of it was that
perhaps they could be as smart another
year.
Postage Sixty Years Ago.
"Walton's Register" for the year 1828
shows that there were 163 postrof&cea in
Vermont at that time, nnd that about
920,000 was annually paid on the pos
tage of letters, papers, and pamphlets
by the citizens of Vermont The com
pensation of the postmasters was on the
basis of SO per cent on the first $100 of
receipts and 25 per cent on the next $100.
Brattleborough was then tho largest
office in the State. The salary of Asa
Green, the postmaster, was $630.89.
The rates of postage were: For a aingle

over 30 and not exceeding 80 miles. 10
cents; over 80 miles and not exceeding
150 miles, 12y cents; over 150 and not
exceeding 400 miles, 18 cents; over 400
miles, 25 cent. Letters composed of
two pieces of paper were charged triolA
rates, and more than three pieces quad
ruple postage. The highest salary paid
any of the 4.000 postmasters in the
