SO the Mayor OF Charleston gave, on tie

had pluckcd the burning brand from the
very summit OF St. Michael's spire, and
saved the city and the church.
Commenting on thoabovc, the Charles
ton Courier says:
Ihero were several errors in the ac-
count taken from the New York Eaenino
Post. and published in Yesterdays Ceu,
1ler, regarding the alleged saving of ST.
Michael's steeple. The incident referred
to did occur in June, 1896, but st. Phil
lips was the steeple that was saved by
tho negro man, and not st. Michael's.
Il very accurate statement of the affair
may be found in Mr. W. L. Kings book.
'Tho Newspaper Press of Charleston. u
Iho name of the colored man who 80
courageously saved the steeple, says the
account in Mr.. Kings book, was Will,
and he belonged 10 Mr.. Charles Linning.
A committee was appointed to nppraise
his value, and the committee reported
to the vcstry Of the church that "thcy
had estimated the value of the said Will
ut El75 sterliDg." The amount was paid
to his owner. who subscribed G10 to-
wards the project, and, Will being called
and informed OF Lis emancipation, re-

ALLEGED LAND FRAUDS.

The Grand jury in session during
the last term of the u. S. District
Court at Topeka, has united in a
statement to the Commissioner of
! the General Land Office, relative TO
| alleged land frauds in the Wichita
District, and recommend the ap-
pointment of Il Commissioner for a
more thorough investigation. Italso
makes some grave charges against
the Register and Receiver, and re-
commends their removal. In the
matter of fees, it is a question
whether there is anything in the law
which would prohibit them from
collecting u sufficient amount to
meet the extra expenses for the dis
posal of those lands, so long as the
settlers themselves were satisfied,
at least until the commissioners
gave them instructions that the law
relating 10 fees for the disposal of
the Public Lands, did apply to the
Indian Lands sold under a special
act. In that event the best they
could do would be to discharge
their clerks, and do so much as they
could themselves.
1t is time the government should
appreciate the fact that the Register
and Reviewer are only allowed suf-
ffcient compensation to support
themselves, and pay the incidental
expenses of rent, light, fuel, &c,
without being obliged to hire large
additional clerical force. We can
conceive of reason for collecting
additional fees in order to facilitate
the very large amount of extra
business required for the disposal |
of the Indian lands, so long as the |
government fails to furnish them |
with the necessary clerical force |
with which to meet the emergency; |
but we should be very sorry to be-
lievc that Messrs. Akin and Shannon |
were guilty of collision with attor-
neys and agents, whereby they |
agreed TO send them the business, as
a consideration for the division of
fees, or of mutilation of the records |
for The benefit of those who desired |
to commit fraud. Testimony be-
fore grand juries is usually one
sided, and in view of the reputation |
of the gentlemen, we shall wait until |
both sides are heard, before we per-
nit ourselves to believe such charges |
against them.-Humboldt Union.

AGNES ClrY.

We have had such heavy rains
during the last week that every
thing is at stand still except vege-
tation and that is growing nicely.
Some OF our farmers have sown
nearly all of their farms in small
grain this spring, in anticipation OF
a dry season, but from present indi-
cations we hope and believe they
are mistaken.
The indications for u great corn
crop are better now than they have
been at this season OF the year for
many yesrs.
II think our drouthy men are
drying up and blowing away, and
our old farmers are getting more
solid and heavy every year.
IF man comes to Kansas and
goes to farming on the drouth basis
Qlants nothing he is very apt to
soon blow away. But on the other
hand, if he expects a good season
and plants and sows, he is sure to
reap and if he don't get a whole
crop he will get half crop, and the
good old maxim is, ga half loaf is
better than none." So the drouth
is one of the dead issues ia Kansas.
II has probably moved farther east.
Emigration still pours in; but
owing to the condition of the Trrst
and Kaw lands it moves farther
west, hunting for cheap lands or
homestead lands. lam very sorry
we have none for them here, but
hope we will have soon, as the Kaw
land bill has passed Congress and it
is supposed their lands will be dis
posed of this summer. PHRANK.

HOW TO LIVE CHEAPLY

One of the subjects talked and
written about at the present time is
how 10 live cheaply. Prices of al
the great staples of life are high,
Rents are enormous. Fashions are
exacting. Wants multiply while
resources diminish. How to make
strap and buckle meet is the prob
lem which presses on hundreds OF
housekeepers of the middle class.
The difficulty in the problem is to
reconcile the irreconciIables. The
middle class generally wants all the
fine things, all the style and display
of wealthy neighLors.
The problem would simplify it.
| self at once, would the middle-class
family cease trying to appear what
it is not, and be content to appear
and be thought just what it is. 1t
is what is done to keep up appear
ances that destroys the equilibrium
between outgo and income, and
makes life drudgcry and a veXa-
ton.
How 20 live Gheaply is question
easy enough to answer if one will
be contented with a cheap living.
Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place of fashion.
Study simplicity. Refuse to be be-
guiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position
in society and is justified by your
resources. Set a fashion of SIM
plicity, ncatness, prudence and in
cXpensiYeness, which others viii be
glad to follow and thank you for
Introducing. Teach yourself to do
without q thousand and one petty
and snowy things which wealthy
people purchase, and pride yourself
on being just as happy without
them as your rich ncighhors are
with them.
Put So much dignity, sincerity,
Kindness, virtue and love into your
simple and inexpensive home that
its members will never miss the
costly fripperies and snowy adorn-
ments of fashion, and be happier in
the cosy and comfortable apart
ments than most of their wealthy
neighbors are i'll their splendid es-
adjustments.
1t does not fellow that in order to
live cheaply one must live meanly.
The great staples of life are not
costly. Taste, refinement, good
cheer, wit and even elegance are in
expensive. There is no trouble
about young people getting mar
ried with no outfit but health, love,
and an honest purpose, provided |
they will practice thrift and pru-
dence to which their grandparents
owed all their success, and make |
their thought aud love supply what |
they lack in means of display. |
Those who begin life at the top of
the ladder generally tumble off,
while those who begin at the foot
acquire steadiness, courage and
strength of arm and Will as they
rise.-LGolden Age.
