streets were crowded all day with
teams and people. Considerable grain
was marketed, selling for fair prices,
compared with eastern markets.
Our grain market is and has been
for some time seriously affected by
the difference in prices which, as pro-
ducers say, exist between this place
and points along the Fort Scott rail-
road. our merchants seem to take
that report for correct and are trying
to remedy The evil. Your correspond
ent was informed that the merchants
intend 10 associate and buy grain in
opposition 20 the regular buyers To
one not acquainted with the grain
trade the above scheme seems all right :,
at least il seemed that way to YOUR
correspondent AT first, but on ipyesti-
eating the matter little some things
are brought out of which one who
never was in that business does not
think. Besides the freight rate, which,
by the way. is as high as our grain
asserted. there is the expense of clean
ing the grain, then the shrinkage in
weight caused by cleaning, which very
often accounts to ten bushels per car
load, then the commission for selling

for local agents, risks assumed,

HE HAD HIS MATCH.

One who can take joke and get
ahead of the joker, is pretty sure to
make shrewd business man, prompt
TO meet emergencies. Here is good
illustration -
Years ago into wholesale groce-
ry store in Boston, walked tall,
muscular-looking man, evidently
fresh conner from some backwoods
town in Maine or New Hampshire.
Accosting the first person he met,
who happened to be the merchant
himself, he asked =
sDo you want to hire man in
your store?'
"Well," said the merchant, ST
don't know; what can you do?"
"Do?" said the man ''I rather
guess can turn my hand at almost
anything. What do you want done?"
'sWell, if I was to hire man, it
would be one that could lift well,
strong, wiry fellow; one, for in
stance, that could shoulder sack of
coffee like that yonder, and carry it
across the store and never lay it
down."
''There, now, captain said the
country man, that's just me. l can
lift anything I hitch to; you can't
suit me better. What will you give
man that can suit you?''
"Tll tell you," said the merchant;
if you will shoulder that sack of cof-
fee and carry it across the store and
never lay it down, I will hire you for
a year at 500 per month";;
sDone," said the stranger; and
by this time every clerk in the store
had gathered around. and was wait
ing to join in the laugh against the
man who, walking up to the sack,
threw it across his shoulder with per-
feet ease, as If it was not extremely
heavy, and walking with it twice
across the store, went Equietly to
large hook which was fastened to the
wall, and hanging it up, turned to
the merchant and said -
sThere, now, it may hang there till
doomsday: l shall never lay it down.
What shall go about, mister? Just
give me plenty to do, and 500 per
month, and it is all right"
The clerks broke into laugh, and
the merchant, discounted yet satis-
fed, kept his agreement; and to-day,
the green countryman is the senior
partner in the firm, and worth mil
lion dollars.

A DOCTORS HINT TO WORK.
ING MEN.

When you have heavy work to do,
do not take either beer, cider, or
spirits. By far the best drink is
thin oat meal and water, with little
sugar. The proportions are quarter
of a pound oat meal to two or three
quarts of water, according to the
heat of the day and your work and
thirst it should be we'll boiled, and
then an ounce or an ounce and half
of brown sugar added. If you find
it thicker than you like, add three
quarts of water. Before you drink
it, shake up the oatmeal well through
the liquid. In summer drink this
cold /; in winter hot. You will find
it not only quenches thirst, but will
give more strength and endurance
than any other drink. If you cannot
boil it, you can take little oat meal
mixed with cold water and sugar,
but this is not so good; always boil
it if you can. If at any time you
have to make very long day, as in
harvest, and cannot stop for meals,
increase the oat meal to half pound
or even three-quarters, and the wa
ter to three quarts if you are likely
to be very thirsty. For quenching
thirst, few things are better than
weak coffee and little sugar. One
ounce of coffee and half an ounce of
sugar boiled in two quarts of water
and cooled is very thirst-quenching
drink. Cold tea has the sane effect,
but neither is SO supporting as oat
meal.

s. S. LESSON FOR AUGUST 3oth,
STORY OF NABoTH. Kings, xxi, Alt.


STORY OF NABoTH. Kings, xxi, 4-17.
GOLDEN TExT.-Thou hast sold
thyself to work evil in the sight of
the Lord. l Kings, 21-2O.
Man always wants more and Ahab
was no exception. To the rest of
his possessions he wished to add the
vineyard of Naboth, well kept, fruit
full, and close to his palace. He Of
fered him money and also another
vineyard. Naboth said, ''It is my
right by law, and will not sell it.
Ahab would have honored the lover
of his fathers and their land if he
had been noble man, but he fell
into anger and moroseness. His
wife inquired the cause, and he told
of Naboth's refusal. Jezebel re-
piled, ''Dost thou not govern the
kingdom of Israel? Arise and eat
bread, and let thine heart be merry;
will give thee the'vineyard of Ma
BOTH"
She set about the fulfllment of
her promise by writing letters sealed
with the kings seal, to the elders
and mobiles of the city instructing
them to proclaim a fast, to arrest
Naboth for blaspheming against God
and the king, and prove the same by
false witnesses, and when it was so
proved to execute him according to
law by stoning him to death. The
elders and mobiles obeyed and sent
word to the queen that the deed was
done. She arose and said to Ahab:
"Arise and take possession of the
vineyard. Naboth is dead"
The despicable king who had con-
sented to all this villainy went down
to the blood-purchased vineyard and
was there met by Elijah, whom God
had sent to meet him, and received
from him the message that follows:
s'Thus saith Jehovah: Hast thou
killed and taken possession? In the
place where dogs licked the blood of
Naboth, shall dogs lick thy blood,
even thine" In Chap. 22-38 we.
can read the righteous and terrible
fnlfillment of the prophecy.
Ahab seems not cruel or idola-
trous man of set purpose, but a weak
man who would let others lead him
where they pleased. Jezebel was
not only his queen, but his ruler, and
did not hesitate on any conscientious
ground to gain her wicked desires.
She stirred him to every evil thing
that she wished, and so established
the worship of Baal in all Israel and
of Ashtorath also, and slew many of
the prophets of the Lord. She had
purpose as strong as that of Paul
when he would exterminate christian
ity. She was one of the most ac-
complished women of her own, or
any age, and has name of infamy,
because she was base and cruel.
We see first how the greed of the
king led to several crimes. A false
hood was raised; false witnesses
were suborned; an innocent man
condemned and slain, and his herit-
age stolen away. Second, that the
wicked do impious acts for pretend
ed zeal for the right. (See the charge
of blasphemy against God and the
king, in verse 13.) Third, we see
that retribution is certain, and often
not distant. For the work of man
will he render to him, and cause ev-
cry man to find according to his own

"And she amt no management

''Buys bakers bread, and makes

All the neighborhood was there,
of course. The richest man in Yel-
low Plains did not depart this life ev-
cry day. But every one looked cold
ly on the young couple as they enter
ed, and Mrs. Briggs studiously evad-
ed them.
When the burial services were over
Mr.. Briggs sidled up to the lawyer,
fat man with shining bald head
and white moustache.
SIT is about the mortgage, Squire
Coyte," said he. ssThat one that
Deacon Perkins had on our farm. /

won't be particular about takin' it up

but"
"What have the Gattawooche In
dians got to do with it, inquired the
squire, crisply.
"Why, they are the heirs. folks
tell me-" said Mr.. Briggs, uneasily
twirling bis thumbs.
"Not at all.' said Mr.. Coyte,
"The Gattawooche Indian will was
destroyed long ago; and Mr.. Perkins
never made another. The heir to al
the property is the next kin, his neph.
ew. John Perkins"
Public opinion changed as quickly
as only public opinion can do, wher
this piece of news became bruited
about.
| Everybody discovered all of sud
den that they had sympathized will
the dear young couple-that Johr
Perkins was a noble young fellow
and his wife, Meta, one of the salt o.

And Mrs. Briggs came humbly tt

with her husband in their behalf.
"About the mortgage, said she
ssthat Deacon Perkins had on ou

"It's over due, and Briggs hasn'

1t was bitter pill for Mrs. Briggs
to swallow, but Meta did not exul
over her fallen foe.
"Of course he will not lie hard will

s'Are we not relations? And now yol

My Own Bright Rose.

There are gardens and gardens of roses
All beautiful, bright and sweet;
But, oh! not one do covet
Of all that chance to meet;
For the brightest rose
Is the one that grows
In my own little home for me;
And wherever go,
Full well do know
No rose is so dear as she.
My rose has eyes that are browner
Than ever were eyes of Gazelle,
And heart that belongs to a woman
Whom we should trust long and well.
Not far do 1 roam
From the garden of home
Where my rose is blooming for me;
For the charm of my life
Lies therein the wife
Who is fair and sweet to see.
So bud and blossom, ye roses,
Wherever the gardens grow,
Not sweeter your fragrant blooming
Than the beautiful rose know.
Nor amongst you there
Is there bud so fair
AS the bud, so dainty and wee,
Which my rose, so sweet,
To make joy complete,
Has brought to my garden for me.

In The Long Run.

In the long run fame finds deserving man,
The lucky wight may prosper for day,
But in good time true merit leads the van,
And vain pretence unnoticed goes its
way.
There is no Chance, no Destiny no Fate,
But Fortune smiles on those who work
and wait,
In the long run.
In the long run all godly sorrow pays,
There is no better thing than righteous
pain;
The sleepless nights, the awful thorn
crowned days,
Bring sure reward to tortured soul and
brain.
Unmeaning joys enervate in the end,
But sorrow yields glorious dividend
In the long run.
In the long run all hidden things are
known;
The eye of Truth will penetrate the
night,
And, good or i'll, thy secret shall be known,
However well it's guarded from the light,
And the unspoken motives of the breast
Are fathomed by the years and stand
confessed,
In the long run.
In the long run all love is paid by love, s..
Though undervalued by the hearts of
earth;
The great eternal Government above
Keeps strict account and will redeem its
worth.
Give thy love freely; do not count the cost;
So beautiful thing was never lost,
In the long run.

REBELLIOUS MORMONS,
A Rising Imminent in Salt Lake
City-TrOOps TO be Held Ready.

General Howard, commanding the depart
ment Of the Platte, has returned to Omaha
from Salt Lake City, in which place
he spent the Fourth of July He says
there is great apprehension there over the
bad feeling existing between Gentles and
Mormons The situation has assumed graver
proportions and has been greatly intensified
by the insult offered by the Mormons to our
flag. The end is not yet and serious trouble
may occur at any hour on the slightest pre-
text
The Genties and United States soldiers
are very indignant The bitterness OF feel
ing is much greater than the public is aware
of, as the half has not been told in the pub
lished accounts In anticipation OF an out
break occurring at any day the war depart
ment has made preparations for it.
BY order OF General Howard the troops
that were to leave Fort Douglas and Fort
Laramie for Kansas to suppress the Chey-
ennes have been retained at their posts A col
lision between Mormons and Gentiles is looked
for, says dispatch, and should the former
attempt to repeat any such performance as
they carried out on the Fourth Of July there
will probably be bloodshed.
The Mormons in Salt Lake are all armed.
On the Fourth Of July they gave evidences
OF this by freely hourishing revolvers in the
faces of Gentiles AMI defying and insulting
them. Backed by the many thousands who
will be in Salt Lake on anniversary day they
no doubt will be inclined to be more defiant
and insulting than before and will invite
and challenge q conflict.
