Oae of the.se Is the wife of the saloon keeper , who has recently been very low. low.The The poor drainage Is hold to bo re sponsible for the sickness to a largo extent , The ground Is qulto low and much of It has been Hooded during the Rummer by the heavy rains. How ever , this may not be wholly responsi ble and in the interest of the health of the people in that part of I'lerco county , the state board of health or some other body duly authorized to look nftor the conditions conducing to the health of the public , should make an Investigation.

LeCiodo and John Hall , two ex-cowboys and scouts from the west ern part of the atato , came to town yesterday and will camp out on the Logan during the fall and winter and do trapping and bunting. They nro hardy frontiersmen and will make their abode in a tent. LeCledo re lates an interesting story about him self. He was with General Miles , then Captain Miles , in bis action against the Indians and carries three wounds on bis body received in bat tles and encounters with the red men. Two of these wore received In the battle of Wounded Knee , in the last Indian outbreak at the Rosebud ag ency. During these troubles ho served as scout with llfty-ono others under Chief of Scouts Wells. In 1871 he made alone a 185-mile Journey car rying a mesago from Captain Miles to General Crook , delivering It safely after several days hard travel through the enemy's country.

SINGLE I1URNER MAY RESULT. The village board of trustees has for muno tlmo past been wrestling with Ibo street light problem. The half do/.en gasollno lamps that for merly gave a light equal to an electric arc have got out of order and all at tempts to operate them prove unsuc cessful. Three acetyllno gas lamps Illuminate the business part of the town fairly well , but the resident , portions tions of the town are loft In utter darkness literally , not figuratively , One proposition before the board Is to place about two do/en single burn er gas lamps upon posts on diagon ally opposite corners at the Intersec tions of the principal streets and , aa this seems the most feasible plan for satisfactorily lighting up the side walks that are bordered by ahado trees , It Is likely to bo adopted. Owing to the immature condition of much of the corn crop , moro than the customary number of farmers are In lending to feed cattle this season. The soft corn makes an excellent ra tion to get stock well started and abundance of well matured grain will bo forthcoming to finish the cattle In good shape for market. Owing to the destructive hall storm which obliterated the growing corn in a largo scope of country in tills local ity last July , a largo acreage of win ter wheat has been sown. The weath er has all along been very favorable for Its growth and reports agree in representing that , with an ordinary winter , the prospect for an unusually large crop next year Is very oncour- glng.

IT IS A GOOD PAYING INDUSTRY. There Is Such an Excellent Market In Norfolk That Produce From the En tire Section Could be Handled Lit tle Capital and a Big Profit. "Thoro should be moro poultry farms In this vicinity , " said a Norfolk commission man this morning. "Wllh a very superior market hero , and ono which will take all of the poultry that could possibly bo raised , there ought to bo a large number of farms de voted exclusively to the chicken and poultry raising business. Thnro Is such a demand for poul try In Norfolk commission houses poultry to bo shipped out that no matter how much stock a farmer could bring In , wo would lie able to buy the whole lot at any tlmo and to pay him good priced , too. The poul- trv farm has eomo to stay In places where It has been started at all. It Is a good paying Investment right from the beginning and people who are doing nothing else , are unking all kinds of money at It. "The beauty about It Is that there IH very llttlo capital required nnd af ter you hnvo had even the slightest start , the increase brings remarkably good Interest on the money. It takes but very little cash to keep the stock fed. There Is no question about the prollt of the business and It Is an Industry which can thrlvo In this HOC tlon of the country most oxtrnordlnar lly well. " ATCHISON GLOBE SIGHTS. A noted writer says : "It Is not death to die. " We'd like to bet that It Is. If there Is no Joy back of It don't try to smile. A sickly smllo is a torrlhle thing. "That man , " said a citizen today , speaking of on enemy , "would kill you when ho wasn't mad. " Funeral processions seem to bo growing shorter every year , and wed ding processions longer. If you Insist on being a worm , don't ho surprised If people go out of their way to plant a foot on you. The men lack ono source open to the women ; they can't put on a veil over their summer hat , and wear it all winter. Have you any sense ? Look your self ever carefully , and bo candid ; have you not grave reason at least to feel suspicious ? Show a letter from a girl in which she doesn't toll of anything now she Is getting , nnd we can point to n case of unhappincss. Wo have noticed a growing tenden cy among women to complain when j they get together of how the noise of | children "gets on their nerves. " Wo have observed that the most worthless man In the community Is the most careful man in the com munity in taking care of bis lifo. . When people look ever a program or an amateur concert , they are as surprised to see a now nnmo as to see a change on the hotel bill of faro.

Wo Hnd wo can satisfy a friend wo mven't soon before in twenty years , jy tolling him ho doesn't'look a day older , but If it Is forty years , we have to make it an hour. The women are very much interest ed in the case of the Atchison county woman who not only had no trouble in keoplng her servant , but couldn't got rid of her. It Is never safe when a woman is complaining of the way her husband treats her , to remind her of the days when she was afraid some ether girl would get him. Wo would suggest to the poor cooks that they make grape pie ; the con sumer Is so busy crushing the grape seeds that bo doesn't have tlmo to ob serve that the crust Is poor.

CAPTIVATING SIMPLICITY. Thr U'nj .Inliii HiirroilKliN SiTtirril a Tri'HNiirIrrUMlilii. . Early In the sixties of the last cen tury , u . ' Hugh .McCttlliiL'h bud just been nppolntcd comptroller of the cur rency to orgnnl/.e the new department under tlu > provisions of the rational bank art , there walked Into bis otllce , unannounced , one day a stranger dronsed in "store clot lies" and wearing long bnir. "My mime Is llurr < mgh .Iohn Hur roughi. " said the visitor. "I should like to have a position in your department. " "What do you know about banking ? " asked the comptroller , thinking that perhaps in the unique stranger might be discovered some genius of an nc tuary or accountant. "I'libapiilly nothing , " replied the up pllcnnl. "Who sent you here ? " "No one. " , "Well. who's your congressman ? To whom can you refer me ? " "I know no congressman. " "And you expected to get a govern men ) position without qualification for the position and without Indorsement or hacking of any character ? " "I think I could learn ollleo woik here , and ( be salary would be a great help to me in my literary career. " "Oh , you are a writer , are you ? What's your line ? Poetry , perhaps ? " "I try to write poetry , " confessed the visitor. "Got any of It with you ? " asked the comptroller , now considerably amused. "If so , let's see It. " The poet-naturalist produced a song redolent of early spring. It treated of the ehewlnk , the oven bird nnd the Carolina wren , with n dainty reference to forest violets and hepatlca. "This Is great , " commented the comp troller ; "It's right out of the woods. " "Which Is more than can be said of the author , " observed Mr. Burroughs , thinking of the world of finance which be was seeking to invade. The comptroller laughed. "And Is this all you have in the way of cre dentials ? " "I have some more poems at home , " was the bland and sincere reply. In much merriment the comptroller summoned an assistant. "Here's the most astonishing instance of Ingenu ousness I hnvo ever encountered in public life. " said he. "That man over there applies for a government position and the only backers that he can name arc the muses. Yet this department Is not political , nnd somehow I'm Inclined to put the fellow to work. I am cap tivated by the man's honest sim plicity. " So John Burroughs was set to work ns a treasury clerk. No appointment ever before bad been secured on such n basis and no one since has had the temerity In asking for a government Job to cite song birds and wild ( lowers as his only references. Some of Mr. Burroughs' old col leagues are still In the treasury service. In telling this story of bis appointment they dwell with emphasis upon the ex cellent work he did In the department , earning rapid promotions and finally securing the responsible position of re ceiver for a failed national bank In New York , the affairs of which lie set tled satisfactorily both to the creditors nnd the government. Saturday EvenIng - Ing Post. IH | I.oitK Sermon. A Philadelphia clergyman used to re late the following on himself : "I preached a funeral sermon at one time nnd spoke on the resurrection.

"The undertaker was n man of nerv ous temperament , and as the afternoon was going he began to lie anxious to been on the way to tbe-cemetery. lie finally whispered to one of my members , 'Does your minister always preach as long as that at a funeral ? ' " 'Well , ' said the brother , 'that Is a good sermon. ' " 'Yes , ' snld the undertaker , 'the ser mon Is all right , nnd I believe In the resurrection , but I am afraid if bo does not stop pretty soon I will not get this man burled In time.

Absolutely Pure THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE Joseph Chamberlain Addresses Conservative Association. LABORERS STAND BY PROPOSALS 'Liverpool Meeting Adopts Resolu tions Endorsing Government's Fis. cal Policy and Eulogizing Services of Former Colonial Secretary. Liverpool , Oct. 28. Joseph Cham berlain addressed another monster meeting In the Hippodrome here last night The meeting was nuld under the auspices of the Worklngmen's Conservative association , and the- 6,000 persons present gave the former colonial secretary a tremendous le- teptlon. it was organl/ed as an offset to the recent ac'.lon of representatives of labor unions in various places In de nouncing Mr. Chamberlain's tariff anil preferential proposals. Mr Chamberlain devoted the first portion of hi3 speech to the "dump ing" of the inaififnclurors of the United. States and Germany In this country , which he said must result in depression after the present prosper ity. With regard to the cry of "dearer food , ' he pledged himself that his proposals would not add anything to the cost of living : on the contrary , they would decrease the cost of llvlnp to the poorest families In the country. The speaker devoted the greater part of his speech to a powerful argu ment addressed to the working class es of the United Kingdom , to whom he appealed against their leaders. Em phasizing , the statement that it was impossible to reconcile free trade with trades unionism , Mr. Chamber lain pointed out the Inconsistency of supporting a policy which admitted the product of the cheapest kind of labor without taxation. The meeting adopted a resolution eulogizing Mr. Chamberlain's servi ces , endorsing the government's fiscal policy and declaring the advisability of binding the empire more closely together.
