all the polls. Half of the senate and
entire house delegates elected. This
Legislature reapportions the state for
congressional representation. and
elects most of the heads of the state
departments. The new senators vote
for a successor to y. S. Senator Ma

A few weeks ago quiet, unostentntious
life was terminated in our city, which de.
serves more extended notice than has yet
been written. The Rev. Henry Adams was
born in Western Massachusetts about u
years ago. Sixty years ago. or al the age
Of IL, he was led to embrace the Christian
faith. This was while he was engaged in
the hardware business In Boston, and with
every prospect Of business success, hs chose,
like Noses of old, to abandon these things
and to devote himself TO careful prepare
ton for the gospel ministry. Studying at
Andoyer and Yale until his course was CON-
pieted, and then glowing with zeal he went
to the then far west and was ordained to
the work Of the gospel ministry in the State
OF Ohio. He labored for years In the Pres
byterian Church, and although his work
was at times very difficult and trying, yet
he was uniformly rewarded by seeing the
work Of The Lord prospecting in his hands.
At times, sorely overworked, he had to rest
from his labors, but resumed his work again
and again, until be had spent forty years In
the Masters service. His work was from
fret to lest characterized by revivals. 1t
was in one OF these special Efforts in which
he was engaged irf Northwestern Ohio ten
years ago that h;s health gave way. From
this attack he never fully recovered, but
grew more and more feeble until his life
faded away and he entered into rest, few
weeks ago, as above sisted. During the
first half Of his ministry be was connected
with the Presbyterian Church and during
the later with the Protestant Episcopal
Church. lie was a hearty worker in all
union meetings for the promotion of Chris.
tianity, and jealous advocate of temper.

CITY MARKET
SENATOR INGALLS,.

We have only room to say this morning
before going 10 press that Senator Ingalls,
delivered his address on the life, character
and tragic death of Garfield, to a large au-
dience In this city last evening. As to the
matter Of the address, its searching analysis
OF character, its beauty and pathos, review

productions Of the time but to those who
have seen and heard Senator Ingalls, I'm.
trammeled by manuscript, and fired with
the eloquence OF an occasion, or spurred on
by thickly besetting opposition, his address
Of Tuesday night was disappointment.
In a written address there is no chance for
those oraiorical displays OF burning wit,
scathing inyectiye and lofty flights of beau
ti'ul dctioD for which he is noted in the
United States Senate and on the stump.
But notwithstanding, he held his audience
breathless from first to last, and no one but

We have had our say about this southern

our readers or not the editor OF the EAGLE
has been. We probably did Prof Sheldon, of
the Agricultural College, IN injustice, for
by the last quarterly report OF the Kansas
State Board Of Agriculture, received last
week, we fnd twelve psgss devoted TO
tame grasses, four or Eve kinds OF which
are illustrated BY well executed cuts.
Every farmer in the State ought to send

"Bermuda grass be- been quite extern

two or three years; and the most extrava-
giant claims have been made for 1t by inter.

with this grass upon q considerable scale
at the College farm, We have no hesitation
in saying that Tor this section, and, We are
confident, generally throughout the State,
these claims are totally unfounded. Ber.

hot weather Of June had set in, our Der.
muda grass showed scarcely sign Of life
or growth. But even then the amount OF
feed which 1t furnishes 10 quite insignin-
cant. Moreover, our stock Of all kinds
showed no great fondness for 1t, leaving It
always for orchard grass growing near by.
1t is possible that in exposed positions, or
upon poor sandy soils which cannot give
support to the more vigorous species, this
grass may be useful. 1t grows vigorously,
turning its energies chiefly to the produc.
ton OF root-stocks, with which 1t dis the

is not apparently injured by our winters.
We are confident that our farmers will do

DIR. Brickman preached on Sabbath morn

like him better as a lecturer on metaphys-

hearty amens from DR.. Kelly. Upwards OF
800 people listened to his sermon Sunday

was viewed and treated from spiritual

he proposes TO answer the naughty and
