Last Friday a merry company of la
dies and gentlemen rode over to the
creek ofsprings, some five miles north
east of town, TO indulge in fishing
Encamping ia the neighborhood of
fine spring whose cool waters put the
excursionists in the most complscent
mood that hot day, and protected from
the scorching rays by a grove which
was rs shady as the ''umbrageous erots
and caves Of cool recess" the party
INDUCED In the pleasure of pulling out
the wiggling sun fish. Not only that,
but they enticed the musical frog to
leave his native waters and chased
him over the plain, now plunging nj
him where he WAS, and then where he
was not II was a great pleasure to
watch the merchant princes Of Salina,
usually avid Of gold" but now
''greedier Of renown"-each striving
with the other to capture the largest
number Of the green, long leaping
denizens Of the brook. After an A.
ternoon Of unusual sport, coal oil
stove was put in motion and supper
prepared. The lunch baskets were
unloaded, the fish were cooked, and
the tender frogs were served In Q style
to tempt Johnny Crapaud while in his
most fastidious mood. The company
spent most delightful afternoon and
returning In the cool Of the evening
felt that such trip was most invigo-
rating.

Of water, and the lawns Of Neasn.
Campbell and Phillips. on Ninth st.,
show the benefits Of shade. The shade
must not be too dense and thus pre-
vent the circulation Of air, or occasion
ii patches Of sunshine. The moisture
which the lawn sprinkler furnishes b
all the water supply needed. While
lawns may in some instances be raised
without the use Of these agents, We do
not believ that any general or perma-
nent success can be attained by relying
entirely on the appliance Of Nature. In
the use of water and shade, II must be
remembered that even a. too much
shade will kill lawn, %, too, the use
of large quantities Of water on .
scorching day will accomplish the

the Topeka, 6alina 4 Western.
Ossth from Cee0 o. Explesiea.
One OF the most unhappy afain
which has ever happened In our young
city, occurred last Saturday morning.
A girl named Anna Swedberg, eyed
about 10 years, employed in the family
of James Barrett, while attempting to
revive the kitchen FIRE ut about IL
o'clock that morning, made use Of coal
oil from and oil can, and an explosion
Immediately took place, setting fire to
the clothes of the girl and to the build
ink. The girl ran into the yard,
screaming, which attracted the atten-
ton of Mr.. H. F. Twining, who was
just then engaged In unhitching .
team Of horses in the rear of the yard.
He hastily went to her assistance, and
by the use Of water and an old carpet
lying near succeeded In smOthering
the flames. Mrs. l.. A. Miller and
Mrs. L. &. Brown who were just across
the street came also to her assistance,
and wrapping blankets about the suf-
ferer led her across the street to Mrs.
Miller's residence. DR.. Jenny was
summoned as speedily a. possible and
later DIR. Crowley. All that the ply
sicians' skill could do to save the girl
was done, and when that was found
impossible the usual steps were taken
to alleviate the intense suffering.
Her burns were Of the most cruel
nature, being more severe about the
bowels; which no doubt caused her
death. Herssuffsring during Saturday
was terrible. From 5 o'clock the next
morning until two o'clock p. M.-the
time Of her death-she was uncon-
scious. Her body was removed to
Falun township, to her uncle's, and
the funeral took place on Monday.
The boys of the fire department
made brave effort to save the burn

extinguishing the flames before the
house was half burned. For once, at
least, the Bsbcock was equal to the
emergency, and the streams being
properly and skillfuliy directed by
Charles Wilmarth principally, the
fire succumbed. 1t was the verdict of
all that the Babcock did handsomely,
and that Charley Wilmarth was equal
to the occasion Others also did good
service, notably Mr.. Al. Hine. The
building consisted of three rooms and
summer kitchen. The building
is damaged badly, but lacks a good
deal of being ruin. II is the proper
ty of Mrs l.. L. Bellville. and was in-
sured in the :Home for SOS. Wight
& Carroll are the compsny's agents.
The furniture was removed during the
fire, and little damaged. Only the
kitchen furniture was destroyed 4

Hon. ID. h. Long, State Fish Com
missioner, informed us while I'm town
last Tuesday, that he will be able this
fall to furnish carp TO farmers
who may wish to stock the ponds
they may have upon their farms.
This fish will live in any water where
the cat will thrive, and makes the best
of food. There is hardly a farmer in
the country that cannot have q fish
pond if he desires il. To have COM
plete health q certain amount Of fish
diet is absolutely necessary, and the
carp will supply the long felt want"
While here Mr.. Long examined the
fish ways at the dams, recommending
some changes. He gives it a. his
opinion that brook trout will thrive
and do well in Spring Creek, which
stream courses through large portion
of our county. He thinks from what
he can hear that the fish ponds in the
vicinity Of Eden Farm can be success
fully stocked with the best varieties
of fish, and is willing to do all i'm his
power 10 help the experiment.

Our first invoice Of Boots
and Shoes for the fall trade
received this week is very
large. Added to our stock,
which was large before, it
almost fills all the front part
of our store. We have built
our shelves up TO the ceiling
and still we lack room.
These new Boots and Shoes
were purchased when our
hopes were high, before
the dry weather set in.
We now think we have too
many for "hard times,' and
as the "crops are Short" we
will make special efforts to
sell them. Will the choic-
est of these goods stay long?
We think not. We want
some of the room which our
Boots and Shoes now take
up for our fall stock of Dry
Goods, which will arrive
soon. Come in Immediately
for first choice.

What blessing it would be to the
American housekeepers of the present
time were they able to eschew the whole
race of domestics, Irish, Dutch and colored,
by doing their own work in their own way,

found when they delegate their domestic
affairs to others, But the thought of OBJ.
tanning relief from the great bugbear

housekeepcr who has made the attempt TO
be thus Independent can tel! you, that ev
cry attempt has resolved itself after a short
time into darkened room, physicians Wis.

attempt again, but let domestic affairs
alone no matter how short her housekeCp
ing may fall Of what she would wish to
