There lie not q poor field of oats or
barley in SedgWick county. Such
oats as many fields turn of we new
er saw harvested. Set down oats
and barley at lbs per cent for Sedg-
wick in IST7.-Wichita Eagle.
We are q little surprised that the
bird does not give the exact figures
of the yield. 1t is the best fgurer
we ever saw, we believe. We sup
pose it will be within bounds to
put the yield of oats In Sedgwick
county At 375, OOO, 600 in round num-
bers. AT least we shall adopt these
figures till the Eagle is heard from
accurately.

TO MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN.

III III HUI IN INA v EN-
1t was In the early spring time
When the sweet flowers were in bloom,
That they laid away my mother.
In the cold and silent tomb.
And the sunshine seemed like darkness,
For gloom was over all;
And the spring wind softly signing,
Told OF the angels call.
For thy spirit is in heaven,
Dwelling with the holy there;
Thou vast borne from earth by angels,
TO the realms above so fair.
Sometimes. when the dark clouds gather
Thickiy foand my weary way.
Thou dost come and show the sunshine
Which behind the dark clouds lay.
Is thy home home OF beauty,
With the angels there above?
Where the spirit OF Jesus fingers,
And all is JOY and peace and lover
lam waiting, angel mother,
Longing for the time To come,
When I leave the scenes OF earthliie.
And dwell with thee at home. E.s.

THE PLATFORM.

WHEREAS, Throughout our entire
country, labor, the creator Of wealth, is
either unemployed or denied its just re.
ward, and all productive industries are
paralyzed; and
WHEREAS, These results have been
brought about by class legislation and
the mismanagement OF our national
finances; and
WHERRAs, After generations of ex-
perience, we are forced to believe that
nothing further can be hoped for through
the old political parties; therefore, we
make the following declaration OF our
principles:
peal OF the specie resumption act Of Jan.
IA, 1875, and the abandonment of the
present suicidal and destructive policy
OF contraction.

der paper money by the government, and

lie and private.
4. We demand the equitable taxation
Of all property, without favor or prIyi-
B. We eommend every honest effort for
the fuTtherance OF civil-service reform.
D. We demand the repeal OF all class
Legislation, and the enforcement Of such
wise and progressive measures as shall
secure equality Of right 20 all legitimate
interests, and impartial Justice TO all per-
soma.
Z. We demand that all legal means be
exhausted to eradicate the traffic in alec.
holic lquors and the abatement OF the
evil OF tntemperance. n
8. We are opposed to all further SUBJ
sidies by either the State or General Gov.
eminent either to individuals or corpora
tions.
Q, We demand that we as -lndepen-
dents Of Iowa sustain and endorse the
principle OF railroad legislative control
as expressed by the highest judicial a1-
thoritys net as enemies Of public enter
prise but as friends OF the country and
the people.
IL. We demand q reduction of officers
and salaries to the end that there may be

water. To his astonishment, the beaver
turned fercely at him, when q regular
fight for life ensued. Mr.. Kirksey broke

TERRIBLE ACcIDENT.-Sutro, June 10
We have again to record a sad accident
which has just occurred in the exploder
house near the mouth of the Sutro tun-
mel. About quarter to 2 o'clock loud
explosion was heard, succeeded by
number OF smaller ones, while at the
same instant fragments of the exploder
house., small wooden structure, were
seen flying through the air. The form
OF man was seen crawling from the
burning wreck, which proved to be Lid
dicoat, tho blaster, who had gone into
the. house after exploders, imme diately
after which the explosion was heard.
Mr.. Joseph Banks CALAMITY rushed up
to the building, while explosion after ex-
plosion was taking place, and was the
first to rescue the terribly injured man.
His body is lacerated by flying pieces of
copper, and it is feared that one, if not
both OF his eyes are destroyed. How
the explosion took place it is impossible
to tell as yet, and possibly never will be
known. Every precaution had been
taken to prevent such an accident. An
iron plate had been placed on the floor
OF the exploder house, connected by o
wire with the water flowing from the
tunnel, and the men had been instructed
to wet their boots before entering. Lid
dicoat is said to have wetted his, but
probably not sufficiently, for on examin-
alton they proved to be quite dry. The
total number of exploders which went
off is estimated at about $500. Work
on the tunnel will not be delayed. Lid.
dicoat died on the morning of the 10TH
