The Mennonites from Russia, who took
up new homes on the prairies of Central
Kansas, own nearly half million of the
finest lands in the state, and it is said that
no better cultivated farming area of equal
extent can be found anywhere. In riding
am ong tEese farms one is forcibly remind
ed of the beauty Of the best
agricultural districts of England OF
France, so thoroughly is everything done,
so orderly in appearance and SO few waste
corners to be seen. recent visitor re-
marks that the most striking feature of all
Others was the trees and hedges-a thrlv-
ing grove of cottonwoods, soft naples and
elms near every house; on the other side a
healthy looking orchard of apple, peach,
apricot, plum and cherry trees, double
row of young forest trees completely sur
rounding the home lot of three or four
acres; and extensive mulberry and osage-
orange hedges running clear around the
cultivated fields. This description does
not pertain to a single Mennonite farm, but
to every one III the settlement. In few
instances, noticing places without these
improvements, he was informed that those
farms belonged to Americans. The spe-
cies of trees planted are cottonwood, ash
fox slder, 1maples, and generally such as
would thrive in Minnesota, Iowa and Wis
consin. Certain trees have been found
unsuited to the soil and climate, but most
of those planted have fiourished. What a
lesson is this to all the farmers O n the tree

The Hottest Ever Known in Some Localities

Last Sunday vas the hottest day of the sea-

diseases brought on by the heat amounted to
so.
At indianapolis the mercury was at 81 and
three fatal sun-strokes are reported.
At Dayton, O., the mercury reached the
fatal cases of sunstroke are reported, among
them DR.. VIM. T. Rive, prominent German
homeopathic physician.
At Plttshurg the mercury was at 1O2, which
is the highest point since the signal service was
established ME years ago. Eight cases of
sunstroke are reported aud twenty prostrations.
AT Cincinnati the mercury was from lob
to ITO, the greatest on record. The coroner
was called to thirteen clses of death, all being
induced by excessive heat Twelve gu us rokeI,
none fatal, were reported up to midnight.
There were six cases in Covington; four of
them fatal -,-
In St. Louis, Sunday was the hottest
day of which any record exists.
Prof. Keibbon, of Washington university,
gives readings of a thermometer absolutely

heat at 10 and 1O3, and says with the ex-
ception eff July 81, 1880. when the mercury

QUEEN VICTORIA has had pretty lively
experience with would be aSsassius, mo less
than FIVE attempts having been made upon
her life with pistols and once she was struck
in the face by stick. None of these as
saults possessed any political importance,
but all were prompted by morbid vanity
and thirst for notoriety-very much as
seems to have been the case of Guitteau's
act. Mr.. Theodore Martin, who wrote the
biography of Prince Albert, and is the BIZ
ographer of the queen, thinks mistake
was made in the leniency shown to
Oxford, the first in the line of the assassins
who attempted the queens life, and in
support of this view he quotes the declara-
ton of Oxford himself, who, when told of
the attempts made by Francis and Bean in
1912, remarked that if he had been hanged
there would have been no more shooting at
the queen.

FATAL CASUALTIES.

A Furious Tornado in Swift County. Minneso.
ta Destr0yes Several Lives and Numerous
Farm Buildings.
On Monday last there was terrific tornado
in Swift county, which left q track of ruin In
its narrow course.
The first house in the track Of the tempest
was that of Wesley Havener, who lives on the
west bank of the Pomme de Terre river, In
Meyer 1t tore down over the hill west of him
and leve ing the trees around his house, pros
trated it in an instant, throwing himself and
family out of doors and leaving them bruised,
drenched, houseless and bereft of everything
except the clothing on their bodies. They have
suffered some very severe injuries, bat none of
them dangerous. Four out of five horses were
killed. Next q bridge 40 feet long, lifted 1t
from its foundation, and then dropped it 4
rods away. After taking several smaller build
ings and tearing them to pieces. Next came
the stone building of Mrs. Geo. r. Ifuen, in
which she lived and kept store and post flee
She and her children and T. B. Boyle, her
clerk, stayed in the house until the windows
blew in, when they run out and lay In the
grass. They had scarcely got out when the
building was blown to pieces, and with all its
contents was scattered all over the prailie.
The house of Henry Miller was destroyed
and inmates injured; also the house of George
Kepner, the church of the United Brethren and
many other small structures. A German named
Vreig, and one child were killed byt tie storm.

THE Cleveland Leader received several
letters from citizens of Ohio, inquiring
whether the governor of Ohio would not
become ex-otticio president of the United
States, in case both President Garfield and
Vice President Arthur die before either a
president pro tenn of the senate or a speak
er of the house is elected. The first letter
was taken as keenly pointed joke, but
subsequently this idea was abandoned and
inquirers were informed of the true situa-
ton. Ohio is great state, but some of her
citizens seem to have strange notions in re-
gard to the eligibility of citizens in the other
thirty-s Ven states to fill positions under the
national government.

The New York Senatorship.

On Saturday 9th. long speeches were made
but 40 results, as expected from the caucus
The first ballot for Conkling's term stood Pot
ter(d em.) so; Lapham G7: Conkling 81;
Wheeler.1. Far Platts term, Miller SO, and
the rest we're scattering as usual 1t was con-
tended by the stalwarts that Lapham and Miller
had been irre3ularly nominated; that there had
been no formal caucus; that faction should
not rule the party and that the election to sena-
torships f Lapham and Miller, both of whom
are now members of congress, would turn that
branch of congress over to the Democrats.
There was no time for special election to fill the
vacancies and it was not the policy of the Re-
publicans to endanger their majority in the
house of representatives.
On the | tn vote was taken for each va
cancy with no result. Rumors were current
that Mr.. Conkling would withdraw and that
Lapham and Miller will be elected.
On Tuesday, July 18th, the ballots showed
no special change. Negotiations are still in
progress for a compromise.
On Wednesday 18th, a ballot but no choice
The democrats threaten to rorce an adjourn
ment, and give the stalwarts the choice Of join
ing thom or allowing the election of adminis-
tration candidates. The end would seem to be
nigh. -
On the 4th the Assembly voted to adjourn
Saturday by vote of 81 to 81. The stalwarts
say there will be neither an election or adj
journment this week. The half-breeds claim
both. The democrats say there will be an
adjournment whether there is an election or
not. Nt' ~, G.. 1~E

choice, but plenty of indications that the end is
at hand. -

THE ordinary way farer who reads as he
runs may be excused for losing his mental
balance in times of great excitement.
But not SO with newspapers. They should
be sami-judicial, at least, and calmly
weigh their words, especially when great
interests are involved. But some of them
have no. done SO, in regard to the late at
tempt to assassinate the president, but no
insignificant number have urged most ex-
travagant notions in the way of preven-
ton and punishment of such offenses. They
gravely argue that it will be necessary here
after to surround the head of the nation
with stricter guard, and that he will have
to initiate the sovereigns of Europe by liv-
ing under police supervision and protect
ion; that free acces to him of the people
mustbe denied; and that he must abandon
the unrestrained life of the
ordinary citizen. This is SC
contrary to the spirit of our institutions
and to the idea of the chief magistrate of 9
nation of free citizens, that there would be
great reluctance to adopt it, even if there
was any faith in its efficiencyas protec-
ton. Nothing but the most radical change
in the manner of the life of the president,
an machinery of guard as annoying
as oppressive, could prevent the accom-
plishment of the assassination by man in
the mental conditionto to do it, and, there.
fore, reckless and prepared to take the con-
sequences; and we have an expressive ex
ample in Russia of the futility Of the mos
stringent guard that can be devised by hu.
man ingenuity backed by irresponsible
power, to protect the life of ruler from
determined foes. This scheme, and all
nthers Of similar character are unrepnbli.
