A PROHIBITION ISSUE.

Col Jno. Russell announces himself a
candidate for the legislature upon the plat
form of opposition to the prohibition amend
ment and law. We have personally known
Colonel Russell for years and he is all be
claims Being of true Scotch descent his grit
and ienacity of purpose are unquestioned.
But on this question Of prohibition he is ia
more than one sense OF wrong. In his
present attitude. while we entertain nothing
but the utmost respect for the man. we are
nevertheless compelled to say that lie has
miscalculated the temper and convictions OF
the people OF the 9)th district. The people
of Kansas have, very surely made up then
minds to thoroughly test the prohibitory
enactments, and the Republican party has
become the exponent of that intent, and
as the law and amendment have, but in Il
very few instances, been given fair test.

will consent to its present repeal. With
such an issue before il, the Republican par

regular nominee who stands squarely upon
the state platform. Colonel Russell has in
effect placed himself with the Democratic
party. and while the anti-prOhibitiOnists OF
that party may support him its strong ten.

Fireside Omens.

The bright and ever cheerful com.
panions of our homes in the winter
time, the fire, has given rise toa host
Of omens and portents, many Of
which at times create no small con
sternation when the events supposed
to be prognosticated are not of very
lucky character. A hollow cinder,
for example, thrown out of the fire
by a Jet of gas from burning Goals, is
looked upon as a coffin if it be long,
but as noneybox II it be round
Some, too, exclaim on seeing the fire
suddenly blaze up that stranger is
near; whereas, In the Midland coun.
ties, if the fire burn brightly after it
has been stirred, this is considered a
sign that the absent lover, wife or
husband, as the case may be, is in
good spirits. A very popular charm
for reviving a fire when il has burn
ed down is to set the poker across the
hearth, with the fore part leaning
against the top bar Of the crate. The
poker and top bar thus combined
form a cross, and so defeat the malice,
Of witches and demons who preside
over smoky chimneys. One notion
is that the poker when in this posi-.
tion creates draught, but the real
meaning of this harmless supersti.
tion is, perhaps, the one we have
just given. Various items of wealth.
er lore, also, have been derived from
the way fires burn, an enumeration
of which we find in Willsford's "Na.
ture's Secrets" "When our common
fires do burn with a pale flame they
presage foul weather. If the fire do
make a buzzing noise it is sign Of
tempests near at hand. When the
fire sparkleth very much, it is a sign
of rain. If the ashes on the hearth
do clodder together Of themselves, it
is q sign of rain.n

A Snake Story.

story? l saw this myself, and did
not read it in any newspapers.
A large water-snake was coiled up,
half in, half out of the water, watch
ing the fish dartingabout and around
it. 1t was large striped snake,
called a water moccasin. This kind
of snake sometimes strikes its fangs
into dogs that attack it.
| once had little terrier, which
used to fly at snakes of every kind
with fury, and shake them,to pieces.
But one day she came home with her
head swollen as large as two heads.
She dropped and died after few
days Of sickness
Bul1 am forgetting. my story
While the fish were playing around
their dangerous foe, all at once the
poisonous fangs were darted out, and
a large catfish was stopped in its
sports. The snake had him fast, and
stretched itself out to swallow its
prey. He was, however, too greedy,
for he began to swallow the head of
the fish whilst it was still huttering,
and not quite dead. One of the
strong, sharp fins pierced like a nee
die through the neck Of the reptile,
and he could not get the fish an inch
further down his throat. There they
lay when l found them, stretched
out on the sand among the rushes by
the swamp, both quite dead. The
greater part of the fish was out of the
snakes mouth, but the head was in
side, and one fin sticking through
the scaly neck Of the water-snake.-

A Singular Story.

Says the Bedford PennsylvdniaJ
Inquirer: There is family living in
the neighborhood Of Lewistown, this
county, of which the following mar
velous history has just been related
to US by responsible physician,
well acquainted with the facts
Some fifteen or twenty years ago the
father and mother had a quarrel and
for year the foFmot never spoke to
the latter. A child was born eight or
ten months after the quarrel, and he
has never spoken q word to his faith
er. They work together days at
time, and the father talks to his son,
but he never answers. The young
man has been questioned in regard
to the matter, and he says he is new
er prompted to speak to his father;
that he has never had an impulse to
speak, and that it seems to him that
there has never been any occasion
for him to speak to his father; that
he bears his father no ill-will, and
should speak. to him should he ever
be tempted to do so.

ing she sank into an exhausted slum-
Der from which she never awoke.
Now on this afternoon the daught-
er was in Omaha, totally ignorant of
her mothers illness. Her husband
after@ard wrote that on that after
noon, being in their private parlor
in hotel, she suddenly Sahk into a
deep sleep which lasted nearly an
hour. From this she awoke pale and
sobbing, saying she had dreamed
she was with His mother, who looked
strangely ill and exhausted. The
impression, however, soon passed
away.
This coincidence, of cotirse, can be
easily explained on natural grounds,
and yet one almost wishes that it
could not be SO explained. We'd
like to believe against reason that
the mothers love would be strong
enough to bring back her child for
that brief moment TO ease the pain
Of death.
In Pompeii, lately, the workmen
discovered in the hardened mud of
new excavations, two empty spaces
left by decayed and vanished bodies.
The spaces having been filled as a

the usual practice, the figure of
woman with her arms outstretched
to a little boy were brought to light.

Ireland's Enemy.

Ireland has been long oppressed

greatest enemy the Irish people have

and oppressive Liquor Traffic.
ofthis enemy, Bishop Ireland spoke

address before the National Total Alb

In the course Of his remarks, he
said;
