Continuous spring rains, consisting of FIRE.
quent showers aud prolonged drixzles, set in
last Wednesday morning. The sky was over
east day and night, and at times, aud fire.
quently rs oftcn ms eight TO n dozen times
within twenty-four hours, hard showers
would pour down. The first day little hail
fell In localities. but the showers were OF q
high temperature, east, northeast and SOUTH
west winds prevailing. When rains come at
all In Kansas, they can confidently be ex-
pected from the fifteenth Of May to the If
teenth Of June, or first Of July. We appre-
bend some trouble this year from rain dur.
ing the wheat harvest. Wheat looks simply
splendid. II is heading out heavily. with
strong straw. Thin pieces will yield aston
ishingly. Oats aud rye arc on an average
looking splendid. As to corn, that which
was planted early and kept clean, is up from
ten inches 10 two feet high. but much OF
the corn was not worked In time, and the
weeds have. during the rainy spell, got big
start. Quite number Of farmers have not
yet planted their corn, but reasonable sum-
mer, with the ground as wet a. it is, will
make corn If planted by the fret week in
June.

IN ERA FOR IDIOTS.

The presents seems to be an era in
which lunatics hold the sway. A pre-
sumed lunatic shot the President, but
failed to kill him. A score of lunatics
have since felt called upon to assert their
determination to kill Arthur, Conkling.
Blaine, and two or three other high
officials. In fact the country seems to be
teeming with lunatics with muderous in
tent. 1t is gratifying to understand that
these are under police surveillance, and
that their first attempt at the execution
of their avowed purpose will be curbed
instantly by incarceration in a public
Jail.
But there are other lunatics, who have
access to the pulpits and to the columns
of the press, who are not as easily sup
pressed They are people who have ideas.
and the ideas are as divergent as could be
conceived. They deduce all sorts of con-
illusions from the most preposterous
premises-often hypothetical try to
make the people believe that they are the
arbiters of the nations fate They offer
a plentitude of suggestions and a cabinet
of what they conceive to be good counsel.
Among them is the editor of
the New York Tribune, who
advises that corps be formed, the duty of
which is to see to the personal safety of
the President of the United States and Of

the principal officials. Other newspapers
and other public men have made equally
absurd propositions. The public at large,
however, will not agree that the time
has come when a President of the United
States, elected by the people, shall be
protected by personal body guard.
There may be divinity that doth hedge
about king, but no such divinity, even
though it may be an armed cavalcade,
will be permitted to hedge about a Presi-
dent of the American republic. The
surroundings ofroyalty are repugnant to
the American people, and will not be
tolerated. Not that the people of this
country do not value the lives of their
rulers, but they consider, notwithstand-
ing the recent attempt upon the life of
President Garfield, that the only protec-
ton President needs is the affection OF
the people. They will resent any inno-
walton on the European plan that may
be suggested, especially such an innova-
ton as would require the President to
protect his life by Gordon of armed
men. The incident of the second Of
July does not afford warrant for such 6
grave innovation upon our system Of
government.

IN ELOPEMENT.
A Tobacconist Deserts His Wife and De-
camps With O Thirteen Year Old Girl

A Tobacconist Deserts His Wife and De-
camps With Thirteen Year Old Girl.
For the past year or two, Louis Fer
nandez has carried on a lucrative trade in to-
baceo and cigars in this city. On Thursday
last he disposed of his interest in the business,
which he had been conducting at No. 112
West Third street. On Sunday he went out to
White Bear lake with the ostensible object of
securing rooms for himself and wife for two
or three weeks. On Monday, in company
with his wife and young girl named Chris
tina Setza, who for the past seven months had
been employed as a servant IN the family, he
again visited the lake and left his
wife there returning to st. Paul with the SER
want, promising to return in the evening.
Monday night there was quite a heavy thunder
storm, and Fernandez not appearing at the lake
according to promise, his trusting wife sup
posed that to be the cause of his detention.
Tuesday night came, and still being absent,
Mrs. Fernandez concluded to come into the
city yesterday morning to find out the reason
of his continued absence. Inquiries developed
the fact that on Monday night Fernandez and
the young girl had taken the 3 o'clock train
for Chicago. The .grl is scarcely any
only thirteen years of age, and the
only support of her widowed mother, who re-
sides on Franklin street. So far as Mrs. Fer
nandez knows, there was no reason why she
should be thus deserted. They had been mar
rsu something over five years and he had
never shown any dissatisfaction with their
married life. 1t was learned yesterday that
Fernandez had converted all his effects into
money, and when he left had some $4,000 in
money with him. He left his wife $50, but
not line or word to explain his action. The
deserted wife is stopping with the deserted
mother on Franklin street, at present, both of
whom are in sore distress over this unac-
countable action on the part of the husband
and daughter.
