fiftieth anniversary of Its organlzu

A swindler in New York lniwlo this
confession: "If the post, office depart
ment would lot mo alone I would
have to hire a cart to carry away
tho money-laden mall. Let me prom
Ibo 60 per cent on a fake and I can
get rich." The mnny persons who
aro anxious to be soon parted from
their money aro under great obliga
tions to Uncle Sam's protective pos
tal rules.
A medical writer contends that a
person's body is his most valuable
property, and often gels tho worst
treatment of all belongings. "Let a
man once get tho idea," he says, "of
classing his body along with tho rest
of his possessions, and it Is only reo
nonable to suppose that ho will at
least take as good care of it as ho
does of Ids coat, his hat, his horse or
his dog."
An Episcopal rector in ono of tho
suburbs of Chicago turned his atten
tion last Sunday to the influence of
golf and other diversions in emptying
church pews. He was inclined to tako
a gloomy view of the matter, assuring
his hearers that they surely were "face
to face with the definite and distinct
causes which historians in years to
come mny give for tho decline and
fall of tho American republic."
MIrs Portia Knight, whose breach
of promise suit will come up in tho
London courts, unless Papa Zimmer
man, of Cincinnati, effects a compro
mise, has engaged as counsel one of
tlio elevorest attorneys in -all En
gland, Sir Edward Clarke, the cross
oxamincr who badgered the prince of
Wales on tho witness stnnd in tho bac
carat ' scandal and browbeat Joseph
Chamberlain iu tho house of com
mons. Gradually tho government Is doing
nway with the distribution of ra
tions to Indians. In flvo years the
system will bo practically abolished.
There aro now in tho United States
208,000 Indians. Of this number 45,
250 draw rations regularly, while 12,
fiOO moro aro provided for at various
times when they are unable to work
or do not feel liko It. In tho latter
class aro included most of tho Indians
who have grown old and aro deserted
by their young relatives.
The Ink was hardly dry on the issuo
of tho tin can trust's stock certificates
before it got down to business by an
nouncing an increase in tho price of
its wares. It, is estimated that tho
costof living for each person who
consumes canned goods will bo In
creased to tho extent of 50 cents a
year by the increased price of cans.
This will not bo a heavy tax to the
Individual, but will run into millions
' of dollars In the aggregate; anil ev
ery cent of it will bo plunder.
Tho forty-third anniversary of tho
commencement of tho most remark
able nastoratn in n wm-lil lmu -Snuf
lJccn' celebrated in London. It is re
inarkablo because tho man who has
presided over tho destinies of tho
church for nearly half a century has
never drawn a cent of salary for his
services in all that time. This most
ronmrkablo of ministers is Rev.
Edward Sehnadhorst, a man of in
dependent means, who iu 1858 dedi
cated his life to tho uplifting of tho
poor In tho casj. end of London.

Comanche country, was named after

Topcka, Kan., July 10. Tho out
look in drought-stricken Kansas was
much more favorable last night.
Itiiin fell in the state yesterday and
a much cooler nnd more hopeful air
pervades. The air shows that the in
tensely dry condition is gone. A forc
enst sent out covering the entire state
says that rain may now be expected
in generous quantities. Crop;; have
been greatly helped, and distress lias
been relieved. Southern and eastern
Kansas received the most benefit
from tho rain yesterday. In no case
was it a hard rain, but much good
resulted.
Coffeyvllle, Eldorado, Independence,
Valley Kails, Wellington, Wichita,
Waincgo, Oskaloosa, Manhattan and
Abilene reported good rains. In
Wellington tho rain was accompanied
by a high wind, wrecking buildings
and injuring some people. There the
rain was too late to rescue the corn,
but will bo of great help to pastures,
alfalfa and Kaffir corn. In Valley
Falls half an inch of rain fell, ac
companied by somo hall. A heavy
rain yesterday morning extended
from Emporia to Ottawa. A rain Is
also reported from Lawrence. Tho
showers that occurred iu the vicin
ity of Arknnsas City and between
Newton and Hutchinson are described
as being too small to greatly benefit
the crops.
V. 1). Coburn, secretary of tho state
board of agriculture, docs not share
in the ucneral opinion of tho ruin
that will come upon Kansas as a re
sult of tho dry spell. Tho damage to
hay and corn has been serious, but
tho deficiency will bo nearly made up
by tho great crops of ICalllr corn and
alfalfa that have been raised. Mr. Co
burn states that thero are over 900,
000 acres of Kafllr corn and alfalfa
iu tho state, which has not been ma
terially aiTectcd by the dry weather.
In addition to this thero are -10,000,-000
bushels of old corn in the hands of
tho fnrmors. This of Itself is nearly
a fourth of the average crop. Tho
farmer who has stored his corn for
the last two years will not be Beri
"ously crippled.

Lincoln, Neb., July 10. In extended
comment on the platform adopted
by the Ohio democratic convention W.
.7. Uryan criticises tho convention for
its failure to realTlrni tho Kansas City
platform and for what he regards as
tho weakness of some of the planks
it did adopt. Mr, Bryan insists that
tho convention made a mistake in
making himself (Bryan) an issue, and
says: "Mr. Uryan is not a candidate
for any ofllce and a mention of him
might have been construed by some
as an indorsement of him for ofllce.
Tho voto should have been upon tho
miked proposition to indorse the plat
form of last year and then no one
could have excused his abandonment
of democrat lo principles ly pleading
his dislike for Mr. Uryan."
Referring to the senatorial fight
and tho reported candidacy of John
I!. McLean, ho says: "Did the leaders
ignore tho money question iu order
to please those who bolted? Or docs
Mr. McLean want to be left free to
afllliato with tho republican financial
questions In ease of his election?"
He concludes as follows: "If any
of the Ohio democrats feel aggrieved
becnlwu the reorganizing element of
the party triumphed at the conven
tion, let them not visit their dlsap
point meat upon the state ticket, but
rather see to the nominations of
senators and representatives who will
select a trustworthy senator. Let
them see to it also that the state plat
form is made at the primaries next
time, rather than at the convention."

El Reno, Ok., July 10. All records
were broken here yesterday by the
registration clerks under Gov. Rich
ords, when 10,007 people were given
papers entitling them to a number in
the great drawing which will begin
on July 20. This makes a total regis
tration of .'1,015 at El Ueuo. At
Lawton then were 7,800 persons
registered in the four days ending
Saturday evening.
Homcscckcrs from different towns
are arriving in companies equipped
for every emergency. They bring
boxes filled with fried chicken, boiled
hams, biscuits, pies and pickles,
cooked at home. It is impossiblo to
got drinking water on tho trains and
passengers supply themselves with
jugs and beer bottles filled with
water. There is now an abundance
of water here, barrels aro kept filled
in the streets, beds can be found fjr
everybody and no man need go hun
gry. Tho most surprising thing nt El
Reno lb tho absence of lighting nnd
boisterous drunkenness. There has
not been a disturbance sufllcicnt to
attract attention since registration
began. Drunkenness is at a minimum.

Jefferson City, Mo., July 10. No
rain has fallen here and in different
parts of the stnte since April 17, nnd
crops of all kinds, except wheat, uro
almost failures. Gov. Dockory has re
ceived many requests to issue a proc
lamation calling upon the people to
observe a certain day in fasting nnd
prayer that the drought might bo
broken, and he has set aside Sunday,
July 21, on which tho people n'ro ro
quested "to nssemble at their usual
places of worship to invoke tho bless
ings of Almighty God."

St. Louis, July 10. Norman J. Col

ident Cleveland's cabinet, takes issuo
with Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
regarding the drought. "It is my be
lief," wild Mr. Column, "that tho re
ports from tho corn belt have not
been exaggerated. I am firmly of the
belief that to the farmers of Missouri
this drought is a greater calamity,
financially, than was the civil war."

Omaha, Neb., July 10. The relcoso
on parole from tho state penltentinry
at Lincoln of Joseph S. Hartley, tho
defaulting state treasurer, reopened
tho bitter fight which mnrked the tri
al and is denounced as unwarranted
by the great mass 4f citizens who re
joiced at the conviction of the former
official. Already those who took sides
in tho feud which was a feature of
the famous case jiro lining up for
a renewal of tho struggle. Nearly
$500,000 was lost to tho state during
Unrtlcy's term as treasurer and it is
hinted that tho convict lias agreed
to tell what became of all this mon
ey as a condition of his release. While
friends of the prisoner uphold tho
action of Gov. Savage, the majority
of taxpayers fail to find oxcuso for
liberating after four years a man they
deem entitled to serve every day of
his 20 years' sentence.

hot mud flowed amid showers of

said that the sentiment in Kansas City

Justice Laughlfn, in the supreme court,
Buffalo, has ordered a permanent injunction,
with costs and a full accounting ot salos, to
issue against Paul B. Hudson, the manu
facturer of tho foot powder crllcd "Dr.
Clark's Foot Powder, and also against a
retail donlor of Brooklyn, restraining them
from making or selling the Dr; Clark's
Foot Powder, which is declared, in the jn
junction of the court, an imitation and in
fringemont of "Foot-Ease," the powder to
shako into your shoes, now so largoly ad
vertised and sold over tho country. Allen
S. Olmsted, of Lcroy, N. Y., is tho owner of
the trade-mark "Foot-Ease," and ho is the
first individual who ever advertised a foot
powder extensively over the country. The
Decision in this case upholds his trade-mark
and rendors all parties liable who fraudu
cntly attempt to profit by tho extensive
"Foot-Ease" advertising, in placing upon
tho markot a spurious and similar appear
ing preparation, labeled and put up in en
velopes and boxes like Foot-Ease. Similar
suits will be brought against others who
aro now infringing on the Foot-Ease trade
mark and common law rights.
