thing those who make the most OBJ
lection to this have been so long in
office that they imagine their posi-
tions to be a birth-right and that the
department could not move on with
ont them. Yet what a howl they
would raise were the party managers
to throw up the sponge and permit
the Democrats to carry everything
before them. The circular of Mr..
George Willie Curtis, civil service re-
former, warning employees of the
Government that political assess
ments are unlawful is boon to this
class of office holders, but Mr.. Curtis
is getting some pretty sharp talk,
and some prompt challenges for test
of the matter, from Chairman Hub
bell and others. The committee is
fortified with an opinion that its
members. who are Senators and Rep
resentatiyes, are not civil officers of
the Go vernment in the sense contem-
plated by the law. In 1898 the House
of Representatives exhibited articles
of impeachment against William
Blount, who had been senator from
Tennessee. Mr.. Blount presented by
demurrer the point that a Senator
was not civil officer of the United
States, and the Senate, sitting as a
court of impeachment, negatived the
resolution. This has ever since been
considered a decision that a Senator
was not civil officer, and neither is
Representative.

Save the Coal Ashes.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
gives the following useful account of
what can be done to make the nuis-
ance of coal ashes benefit:
1t is the common opinion that coal
ashes or of little or no value. This
is an error, l have witnessed some
of the benefits derived from their use.
They have likewise been employed
by my neighbors tor years. who hold
them in high estimation. Their ben,
eft is ola two-fold nature-they favor
moisture, and improve the texture
of the soil. They serve admirably as
mulch, either on the surface or
mixed with the surface soil. the lat
ter being the best. AS the supply is
not sufficient for general farm pur-
poses, they are used in gardens
around shrubs and trees, and partic-
ularly for potatoes, which largely re-
quire moisture. Mixed with the sur
face soil, and occasionally stirred,
they have an excellent effect upon
trees and shrubs, keeping up an un-
interrupted growth during drought
if the application is liberal and we'll
worked in.
Where used in a garden, the earlier
they are applied the better. The
ground having been previously work.
ed, spread evenly about an inch
thich, and mix thoroughly with a
few inches of soil. Where the
soil is quite heavy more ashes should
be used and worked in proportion
ally deeper, answering both as
mulch and as soil to grow the plant
in the other case, where the soil is
good, principally as a mulch. In
both cases manure is an advantage,
either liquid or reduced to fine
state, as coal ashes possess little ferti-
lizing material. The effect will not
be visible before the season is some
what advanced. After that it will
show, its best work being done in
hot. dry weather. The effect will
last several years, depending upon
how much used. Yearly applica-
tions may be made with benefit and
the experience here is that If liberal
applications are made annually, and
thoroughly mixed with the soil, no
manure is required. This know
has a doubtful look, but observation
for wears has constrained me to &C
cept it, and accordingly procure all
the coal ashes 1 conveniently can,
with the same gratifying result.

A Pathetic Record.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Sec
rotary of the Navy has received a
communication from Engineer Mel
vile giving an account of the find
ing of the bodies of Com mander De
Long and his party in the Lena Delta.
1t is the same narrative that was pub
lished in the press dispatches ofJune
10, with the entries in Commander
De Longs note book added. The
first of these entries was made Octo-
Der /, 1881, and is as follows: "One
hundred and eleventh day, and a
new month. Called all hands as
soon as the cook announced boiling
water, and at 6:45 had our breakfa fast
half pound of deer meat and tea.
The doctor resumed the cutting away
of Door Erickson's toes this morning.
No doubt it will have to continue till
half his feet are gone or death ensues
or we get to a settlement. Only one
toe left now"
On October 4 a touching instance
of the devotion of Alexy to his COM
mander is noted. The previous night
was terribly cold, and Alexy wrap
ped his sealskin around De Long and
kept him warm with the heat of his
own body. De Long gratefully puts
the incident on record, In the morn
ing Erickson was unconscious. He
was lashed to sled and the journey
resumed. A large hat was found and
for the first time in many days they
were able to- make themselves COM
Portable. In the evening each one
had a-half pound OF dog meat and
a cup of tea. Erickson died Thur.
day. October B. The. ground was
frozen so hard that his SURVIVING
companions could not dig grave for
him, so they sewed the body in the
flaps of tent, dropped it in the riv-
err and fred three volleys from their
rifles. On this day De Long wrote

In the new registration of voters,
which commences on Tuesday, July
11th, there is one thing we wish par
ticularly to direct attention to, and
that is the fact that If any 0oter me-
elects to appear in person before the
register of his district, at the time
and place appointed in the notice
now published, or at such times and
place as may hereafter be appointed,
and neglects to have his name duly
registered then, HE WILL ABSOLUTE
LY LOSE HIS VOTE! He cannot vote
at all until after the next registration
a year hence. and then only in case
he should then be registered. The
old registration is no longer in oper-
alton and gives no one a right to
vote. Let this be noted by all.

pose that he would do the same I'M
der similar circumstances and in this
connection 1 will say that although
| am not. according to his idea, ITO
the manor born," yet have lived in
the county about as many years as
he has lived in the world and am
supposed to have some interest in
the county's welfare. AS slight
proof of it, 1 will say that 1 have re.
ceived and disbursed from the diff
ferent Boards of Commissioners in
this county, in special levys on roads
and bridges the sum of eight hundred
and seyenty-five dollars, and have
two hundred dollars more in my
hands, for all of which trouble and
risk have never asked or received
one solitary cent, as compensation,
but have freely given that service for
the good of the county. Can the
above named patriotic individual
who has the tax payers" interest so
much at heart, say that he has done
as much for the public good. If so l
shall think more of him than I now
do.
The writer wishes me to realize, to
use his own expression that "he is the
servant and zoe are the masters" Now
do not realize anything of the kind.
fe'am not the servant either of the
man who dictated the communica-
ton. or of the party who suffered
himself to be made a tool of, by al
lowing his name to appear at the
bottom of the production, and 1 hold
them both in equal contempt.

newspaper controversy. and should
not have thought of replying to this,

in his notebook ."What in Gods
name is to become of US? Fourteen
pounds of dog meat left and twenty
FIVE miles TO a possible settlement"
On the next day he made the fol-
lowing entry:
"Friday, October 6-117th day
breakfast consisting of the last half
pound of dog meat and tea. The
last grain of tea was put in the ket-
tie, and we are now about to under
take a journey of twenty-five miles
with some old tea leaves and two
quarts of alcohol. However, trust
in God, and I believe that He who
has fed us thus far will not suffer US
to die of want now"
An entry made October 8 shows
that alcohol is Of great value in the
absence of food. Commander De
Long writes:
saturday, October Scaled all
hands at $50; breakfast, half-ounce
of alcohol and a pint of hot water,
Alcohol proves of great advantage
keeps off craving for food, preventing
gnawing at stomach, and has kept
up the strength of the men as given
three ounces per day, in accordance
with DIR. Ambler's experiments"
On Sunday, October 9, Noros and
Nindermand were sent ahead to look
for help, and, as has been stated be-
fore, they fell in with Danenhower's
party and were rescued. The brief
entries made by De Long after this
simply record the suggestive stages
of slow starvation.

Prayers were read for the sick. Kock
was found dead at midnight October
81, as he lay between DR.. Amber

of the same day. De Long makes
this pathetic entry: "Too weak to

WICHITA, KS, June 26.-Two-
thirds of the one hundred thousand
acres of wheat in this county have
been cut and are now in shock. The
average yield will be unprecedently
large and of the finest qrality.
Farmers declare they never saw such
fine grain. Many fields will yield
thirty to forty bushels to the acre.
The acreage of corn is neatly one
hundred and thirty thousand acres,
is growing rapidly and very promis-
ingly. Such other crops as potatoes,
oats and barley, all promise more
than an ordinary yield.
