yEv vAT 10 KILL A fowN.

We often hear Of many ways by wnieh
q town is made to prosper, and rs the
matter seems pretty well settled, we pro-
nose . few suggestions, that if closely
followed, will successfully kill a Town.
We do not charge for our prescriptions
and the public is welcome to tho meo'-
cine. 1t is perfectly clear to us that our
rules are compile e, and consequently We
recommend them.
1. To kill town, You must nave .
live town like Salina tor your SUBJECT
for it is impossible to kill dead town.
e. Let every man in the town strive
to lead off in every public measure and
ifbe cannot have the leadership, let h'm
kick AGAINST the measure with sill MS
might and main until he kills it.
3 Let few &c: together and form
.sort Of mutual admiration society," 20
business together, trade together, wor-
shin together, and Danish from their
rre.encc and association all manners
and kinds of men who have not the SEM
blanc. OF obcyiug their demands ana
worshipins a,ta;nments they do not pos
sess.
4 Let menia,s stand around on street
CORNERS and run down mcn who are oP'
posed to their masters in business anu
let them run about and inform new men
about to start in any line of business tha'
it is impoIitic to do SO; as that a. or D.
have been here long time and are eh''''-
Cd IN all the trade and must and will have
it.
:. Let there be imported four or five
hundred poor, weak mortals, who hardly
dare say "thcir souls are their own ana
let them dare neither speak, act, or make
themselves heard, unless with the per-
mission Of those who they claim repre-
sent the capital and intelligence OF the
town.
6. Let shoddy characters that never
had any character or standing IN inc
place from whence they came have foil
control of the town government, and
make everything >ubservient to their
whims and prejudiccs, whether or no
thew hold Office under that government.
Z. Lot the biggest rascals be heartily
sustained in all their corruption because
!" they belong to our side"

On Tuesday last Grant Duke Alexis,
upon his return from the West, arrived
At Topeka, and was received by the Leg

the introductions had passed, the process
sion formed, in which the Grand Duke,
Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, Lieut.. Governor
P. P. Elder and Speaker 8. A. Cobb &C.
cupied barouchc. The procession pro-
ceeded to the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where
Alexis and suite were assigned quarters.
AT LIS P. N. the procession again form
ed and proceeded to the Capitol, where an
immense throns Of people were in wait
ing. Every window Of the Capitol pre-
sented a bevy Of women, who waived
their hankerchiefs. The ducal party re-
paired to the Governors room, where
they were introduced to Gov. Harvey,
State officers and many ex-oficia!s Of
Kansas. The doors were then opened
and quite number of ladies and miss
es were presented to the Grand Duke,
who received them in very cordial
manner. The party, preceded by
Alexis and the Governor, headed their
way to Representative Hall. After reach
ing the Hall Alexis and suite stood on
the left of the Speakers stand, the Sen
ate and Ho use of Representatives being
presided over in joint session by the
Lieutenant Governor, when Hon. S. A.
Cobb delivered an address of welcome
which was responded to by Alexis in q
very brief manner. At 2:45 TIE party

ner being announced, repaired to the
dining hall. After dinner the Duke and
suite left in the carriages for their train
and the committees seeing them safe Out

We would bc very much pleased to see
law passed this winter requiring rail
roads to fence their tracks. A law OF
this kind exists in some states, and why
should it not exist in Kansas. Such q
law would rebound to the benefit of rail.

We notice that some companies arc set
ting out hedges along their tracks, which
seems to US very good plan.

fHE CIVIL SERVICE AGAIN.

We don't believe those papers oppos-
ling tho civil service reform will do them
|sslvcs one bit of good. Happily there
are only two in Kansas that have taken
decided grounds against the measure
the Lawrence Tribune and the Atchison
Champion, the first said to be partly own

published at his home. This, perhaps,
Is accounts for tho milk in the cocoanut,
" . telegram from Washington, some
laws ago, announced that Pomeroy and
Carpenter were opposed to civil service
reform.
There is no use attempting to kick
ksainst the inevitable. Civil service re-
form will DO tested, and until is proven
INJURIOUS opposition comes with bad taste
rom men protesting to be imbued with a
progressive spirit. 1t is also reported that
Republican Congressman say that it will
ejure the Republican party, and that its
doption was forced through coalition
Democrats and Independent Republi-
ans. Then We say, bravo for the Dem
Gratis and Independent Republicans
int this is not the case. President Grant,
his two last messages, took grounds
favor of the reform, and, except few
ongressmen and those acting in concert
it'll them, it may be said the whole coun-
" approves it. A man controlling the
pstowal of tho public patronage for his
ate, or even q fourth of it, holds o
Iwer that is hard to combat. To take
10 from congressman, thereby lessen
his chances for doing evil, is the OBJ
4 of the civil reform rules, and also TO
re men in official position on their
prth.
If the Republican party is to lose any
it, influence on account of the exist
ce of the civil service reform, it deserves
die. but i. is unreasonable to argue
It party can be harmed by deciding
act justly. Should the reform prove
neutrality-suspicious. or unwisc, it can
ily be annuIled, and the work undone

A curious case under the
Ohio liquor law has just been
tried in Monroe county, in this
State. A woman recovered
5000 damages from a saloon
keeper whom she had sued for
having sold liquor to her hus-
band at divers times during the
last twelve months. No proof
was brought that her husband
had been seen to drink any H.
quor in the saloon; and the de
fendant swore he had not sold
nor given him a drop during
the time specified. But the
man had been seen drunk in
the saloon frequently, and this
the jury appeared to think
was all the evidence required
to prove that he must have OBJ
tained his liquor there. Con
sequently the saloon keeper
had to suffer for permitting him
TO enter his premises.

TheGreat Chill Cure,

DR.. Wilhoft's Anti Periodic
and Ague Cure has been before
tho public for years and has
never failed to effect a cure
when taken according to the
directions.
1t acts promptly in curing all
malarial fevers and dprevents all
the sequele of those diseases,
which so often follow badly
treated cases OF chills, such as
enlarged spleen and impaired
constitutions.
1t is safe for family use, be-
cause it is innocent; the tender
babe and the specialized grand
mother in the corner can use it
with as much impunity as the
robust man who tolls in the sun
and supports his family by hon
est and honorable labor.
No arsenic-no strychnine-
no quinine-no poison of any
kind enterslntoits composition.
The best and most enlight-
ened physicians prescribe it,
and often take it themselves
1t is cheap and reliable and
never fails.
II your liver is deranged and
digestion bad, use the celebrat-
ed Argyle Bitters as a gentle
Stlmulant and tonic, and made
of full strength Bourbon.

In 1895, Washington wrote to
Jefferson saying that while he
had been trying to administer
the government faithfully and
justly, he had been assaiied in
"such exaggerated and indie.

be applied to a Nero, a noto-
rious defaulter, Or even to CON-

has been with Gen. Grant.
