LYON COUNTY SUNDAY SCHOOL As
ISOLATION.

At recent meeting Of the executive
committee of the shove association, 1t
was decided to pursue the same line Of
work as that adopted the last ave years,
VITO personally assist in encouraging
and organizing Sunday schools and to
hold q convention in each township; bat
it was decided to hold them later than
in former years, unless the Vice-presi-
dent requests an earlier date for the con-
ventIon in his own township.
We hope to give the schools through
out the county such q warming mp"
that they will not freeze out through
the winter. The number of evergreen"
schools is increasing, but we stlll have
too many deciduous schools that lie dor
mant through the winter to be awakened
with the flowers of spring.
We earnestly urge all the Sunday
School workers throughout the
county to renew their
zeal in the cause and labor to inspire
new life in their schools.
If your school has been suspended
get the workers together and reorganiZe.
Do not wait tor some one else to move
IN the matter. You take the matter in
hand, and if you need any help let as
hear from you. We can find men with
warm hearts. and an earnest
love for the cause who hsRe hac
much experience in the work who are
willing to aid you. Wetrust that all viii
take hold of the work this season with
strong hand and warm heart, and that
when we meet in our town.
ship and county conventions
and compare notes and hear
reports we will find that the Sab
bath school has advanced as never be-
fore in its history. Let US have a long
pail, strong pull and pull all togeth-
er and eternity alone will tell of how
much good we have done. Anyone
wishing informatinon or aid will receive
the same by addressing the president or
secretary, or the vice-president of your
township. The following were elected
as vlce-presidents of the respective
townships:
Fremont. r. ]. Rudisill; Elmendaro,

New York Tribune: The Democra-
tic party declares, as with one voice,
that it "has better chance to elect Q
President this year than 1t has had at
any other time since 1890" The only
objection to this remark is that 1t has
not the merit of novelty. We heard it
IN 1880, both before and after the nomin-
alton OF "a good man weighing $50
pounds" We heard It in 1873, when
the Sage of Cipher Alley lifted up his
voice for Reform. We heard 1t partIc-
ularlY in 1872, when a great number of
influential Republicans organized 9
movement compared with which the So
called "revOlt" of to day is as q mole
hill to Chimborszo. We heard it In
1868, when the "Arm in Arm" conven-
tlOn, President johnson, Senator Doc
little, Cowan and others, and Mr.. Ray
mond, with a brilliant future behind
him." were supposed to have made
Democratic victory inevitable. We
heard it also in 1864, when Mr.. Tilden
helped TO prepare 3 platform declaring
the war failure, and the whole army
was expected to go tor "lsttle Mac" and
Senator Wade and others were unhap-
py. The Republican party has heard
that observation beforehand answered
it. as il will again.

ChIOFOfOrm fer Cholera

A tablespoonful of chlorofoFm in

faIlible cure for cholera. A doctor who
had lived in Mobile, Ala, and had great
success in curing people during . chol.
era epidemic there, told me about it.
When, in the Cuban regulation. / went
to Cuba to help organize the Insurgent
army, had 8 chance TO try the remedy.
for E cholera epidemic broke out among
the troops. Ny first experiment was on
q negro who was in the last stages. II
cured him and hundreds after him.
When We marched the officers carried
bottles of chloroform. and il man fell
ont, sick with the cholera. the remedy
was applied and he was able 70 resume
his place. l have seen men lying ont by
the roadside in . state of collapse, al
most dead. An officer would ride mp,
dismount and apply the remedy,
and before the column had passed the
men would be In the ranks again.

Interstate and commercial rela-
tions between the United

THIS work was inaugurated under the
administration of President Garfield,
and It will have the support of Mr..
Blaine, should he be elected president.
The work is one which requires the quail

Of superior judgment. Both these Judge
Thacher will bring TO bear in the dis
charge of his important duties, and we
may cay that our delegation in congress
have done a wise thing in securing his

A lady IN Ashtabula, Ohio, who had a
mania for shopping, but who seldom
bought anything, recently bought q
spool OF thread after spending two hours
In looking over the finest goods in the
shop. She ordered Il sent home, and
this is how il was sent, according to q
local chroAicler: "a heavy dray drawn
by four horses was procured and four
stalwart lAbprers with bare arms were
placed upon II TO hold the spool When
the team drove up to her door everybody
stared and no one could make out the
purpose. Alter a deal Of whip cracking

Of the cart, was the spool. With the aid

that that particular store will not very
soon sell that particular woman another

ABOUT POPULATTON.

The four leading cities of southern
Kansas are usually prosperous this year.
Fort Scott, the Oldest, has about 10000
inhabitants; Parsons, the youngest, over
5000; Wichita, the largest, 1874, and
Emporia steadily plods along with
z ,445.-Kansas City Times.
The above, we presume, was written
by our old friend, Mllt Reynolds, and it
intend to say that NJ. w. would
intentionally prevaricate. He is
simply the victim of census
liars. We do not claim that Emporia
Is larger than Wichita, nor have we SO
claimed for two years. But we know
it is larger than either Fort Scott or
Parsons. Wichita was always a boom
ing town, and 1t has grown very rapidly
for the last year or two. Last year the
returns showed q population of S,OO5.
This year it is about 1850. Even 80
sanguine q gentleman as brother Rey-
nolds must doubt that Wichita has added
to its population enough to make a city
of nearly 5000 in a single year. That
will not do at ALL We could have
believed a good square lie about the in
crease in the size of Wichita, but the
fact Is they piled it on little too steep.
We suppose the population to be hon.
estly about eleven thousand, or
two more than Emporla. According to
the statement of the number of
housts built in Wichita last
year gain of three thousand would be
about the right thing. We do not re-
member the population given to either
Fort Scott or Parsons last year, bat
neither of them honestly have the pop
ulation stated in the Times.
Aud DOW a word as to our own popula
ton. We have believed that it was in
the neighbOrhood OF 1900, and have so
told inquirers and friends There is
one thing connected with the population
here different from any other town of
which we have any knowledge. and
that is that more than One-fourth of our
people live outside of the
city limits. They do business in the city
and to all intents and purposes belong 10
the city. They are not in the enumeTa-
ton OF the census. In 1880 q separate
census of these was taken and the mum.
Der was 1900. It's now at least 1900
For instance, there is one addition, in
which the round house is situated, and
IN which most of the railroad men live,
as well as many others. This adJOIns
Emporia and contains from 400 TO SOC
people. There are a dozen other addi.
lions in the same condition. Adding
these 1900 additional people
and we have the 1900
i population, which we claim and
which is honestly our due. We are moi
ploddIng along at all, brother Reynolds
We are constantly growing and improv.
ing. But We refuse TO lie about oul
population. That's the difference be
tween US and the other towns named.
