a MOTHERS FAREWELL.

Mrs. Ella l. Stogdill, the wife of one
of Wichita's first Methodist ministers
who died and was buried here, follow
ed her husband two or three weeks
since, notice of which appeared in
this paper. The Stogdill family came
from Burlingame to Wichita,
in 1874. Mrs. S. wrote
several pieces of poetry
which were published in the Chronicle
of that city by the editor of this,
who at that time owned the Chronicle.
After the death of the husband and
father the family went back TO
Revena, Ohio. Last month, and
during her last and EXTREMIST suffer-
ing she wrote the following aud hand

that al have written something here

the wYAhDOTTE JUDGE.

The Kansas City Journal says of thu
Wyando,te district court that yester'
day morning Judge Wagstaif ordered
all cases of violating the prohibitory
amendment stricken from the docket
The reason for this action is the recent
decision of Judge Horton, Of the su.
preme court. that the information in
all whisky cases is required TO be
signed by the county attorney. This
decision, made last week, will virtually
have the effect of annuling the liquor
law. inaslnuch as parties other than
the county attorney filing the in
formation will be required TO stand
the cost of prosecution if the case is
unfavorably decided.

NOW CONGRESS ADJOURNED.

Congress, both senate and house,
adjourned at p. IN. dag before yes
terday. Owing 10 the large amount
of telegraphic news from Chicago, the
dispatch giving in detail the last mo-
ments of the session, was crowded
out:
About 2:45 the vice-president pro
TEN (Mr. EdRunds) said: Senators
The hour that closes the first session
of the Forty-eighth congress has
come. 1t fills almost a century of a
constitutional and Republican govern
ment of people whose career has ex-
cited the wonder and admiration of
mankind. Let us hope that our la
bors as the representatives of states
and people may justify the
placing of another white stone in the
long and shining pathway of the re-
public. However ardent and perplex-
ing may have been our labors, howev-
er exciting may have been the contests,
opposing opinions and politics, no one
Of us, think, can meet our own sepa-
ration without emotions, and, ] hope,
not unpleasant solicitudes that en-
brace the past, present and future.
The smallness of our number and
the peculiar nature and organi-
cation which embraces potent parti-
cipation in the action of ihree.fold
organization of the government, legis-
latiye, executive and judicial, produces
an intimacy of personal relations as
pleasant as il is important, and makes
the moment when we separate one of
peculiar interest and tenderness.
The chair makes sincere and
grateful acknowledgements for
the very flattering resolutions
of the senate touching his administra-
ton of the duties imposed upon him by
his Office. He is glad and proud to say
that, without exception, he has been
aided by the constant kindness, cour-
tesy and assistance of all the members
of the senate and its officers. The
last formal act of the session,
wishes for all of you every
felicity. and he begs express 10 each
one of YOU his heartfelt personal
friendship aud good will. The pres
ent sitting of the session ofthe Forty |
eighth congress stands adjourned |
without day" When the vice-presi- |
dent closed his farew ell remarks the !
chambers and galleries were quickly |
In the house at 2:15 the recreation of
the call Of the house was INDUCED in, /
the doors were closed, and the excuse
offered that the gentlemen were In
Chicago Oh important business. FL
nally, on motion of Mr.. Young, the
house excused all the Democratic men,
bers who are in Chicago engaged in
the patriotic duty of nominating a
man for the presidency who would
beat the Republican candidate. But
the call did not consume time fast
enough and the hands of the clock
we're advanced ten minutes. Then
he speaker pro TEN. wishing each
md every member a safe return to
his home declared the house ad-
ourued without day. Applause
Leave taking and hand shaking fol-
owed and the hall was soon deserted.
