A COMPLETE SUNDAY PAPER.

The SUNDAY JOURNAL was started on
the oath of August last, and at once came
to the front as the Peoples Paper, on ac-
count Of the excellence and variety of its coz
tents, the completeness Of its telegra;,n;c re-
ports and the high character rrez-vadng its
columns. The des.asd for the paper
compelled US 70 enlarge its pages, and to
mslo arrangements whereby it is placed
in every town and city Of the State aud sur
rounding territory. This at once doubled its
already handsome circulation, and added to
the value Of it as an advertising medium.
The SUNDAY JOURNAL will not be GEM
etery of dead matter nor a repository for
Stupid stereotype plates Every line of it
will be new, fresh, and largely original matter.

A STORY comes from Oregon to the effect that
young lady dentist of that State had as pa
tient handsome gentleman, whose teeth re-
quired much treatment Whether she wished to
retain him as permanent patron, or whether,
having done good job, she wished to secure
him as standing advertisement of her dental
skill, report does not specify; but at all events
according to the account she gave him one day
dose of ether that confused, but did not make
him insensible. Then she sent for a clergyman,
end while the subject was under the influence Of
the drug the two were declared man and wife.
When the handsome man recovered his senses
he expressed surprise, and some disgust, at what
had occurred, owing to ths fact not before
known to the fair dentist, that he already pos
sessed wife Such developments as this can
but be embarrassing to dentists under such cir
cumstances, and this case should be warning to
others of the profession. 1t is altogether prob
able that the Oregon young woman will investi-
gate the record of the next man whom she fam
ces for a husband before wasting ether and a
wedding fee.

family that he found his voice little
stronger but he should not try to use
il, hoping that with caution it would
grow strong enough SO he could talk
again. The failure Of fathers voice
is OWING to debility and he is growing
weaker all the while The change of
air he feels just now but as ! said his
weakness constantly grows upon
him.

nyriadsof worms Destroying Corn
Tn N ansns Fields.

Parsons, Kan, June l7.-There Is
now making its appearance In this
vicinity scourge equal to grasshop-
pers. Large fields OF corn, standing
an average of eight inches high and
looking fresh aud green In the morn
ing, before night become withered
and dead. Examination discloses the
fact that In each hill myriads of
worms, ranging from an inch and a
quarter down to one-eighth of an
inch in length. Apparently, they be-
come completely distributed over the
field aud then commence work stimuli
taneously and within very short
time the whole field Is devastated.
Nearly every piece of corn Is more or
less infected. The eggs from which
the worms are hatchod are supposed
to be deposited by small, yellowish-
white miller and the worm Is term ed
the ''wet worm"
