was still alive. He found at last man
and his wife living some distance from
there who had had the disease, and they
promised to take care of the invalid Tor
good pay. Plumb then could get no
team with which to transfer the sick man,
and finally, in desperation, seized one
that was hitched in front Of OF store.
He got away short distance, when ne
was overtaken and the team taken away.
Finally, after persistent effort and plead
ing, and bitter denunciation of the peo-
pie, he obtained team and drove to the
shed and took the poor plague
stricken creature, dying alone OF hls dls'
gushing disease, in his arms, and drove
with him to the home selected. He left
all the money he had, and promised more
when he could get it-for the care OF the
man if he lived, and his burial If he died;
Then he went on down to Emporia and
had the smallpox himself, and came very
near giving his own life as the sacrifice
for that of the poor stranger whose life he
saved. That is the story OF how Senator
Plumb's face came to be pOck-marked.

Plumb, of Kansas. The senator's face is

not to Disagreement. I will tell you how
he came by those marks, and in doing so
will tell you tale of rare heroism as it
was told me by an old Kansas man who
was personally cognizant of the facts.
Many years ago, when Plumb had just
come to Kansas from Ohio and settled at
Emporia, he was poor and struggling for
a living, as were most of the other pio-
neers about him. One day he drove to
Lawrence with a load of produce. On
his way he stopped at little town to feed
his team, and while there he heard that
some Ohio people had been there look
ing for place to locate, and had passed
on, leaving one OF their number behind,
who had been stricken down with small
pox. Some Of the people had carried the
sick man out of town to shed. and left
him there alone.
Plumb sent his load of produce on and
went Ia work to find some one to take

An OFFENSIVE PARTISAN.
A Recent Discovery In Phillips
County.
KIywfn REPUBLICAN.

The term offensive partisan" has be-
come very familiar since the Democrats
have come into power, and just what it
means has been the subject of great
amount of newspaper comment. We are
willing to admit that after months OF
earnest study we find our conclusions en-
tirely erroneous, Judging as we do from a
recent change made in Phillips county.
Mr.. H. G. Spaulding for some time past
has been postmaster at Phillipsburg. He
has suffered since his birth from de-
formity which makes it difficult for him
to leave his office if he chose to do SO, and
at times is compelled to use the invalid's
chair in going around the city. This,
however, did not prevent him from per-
sonally attending to the duties of his Of
flee. We can truthfully say that no Of
fee in the State has been conducted in
better shape and with more general salts
faction than the Philipsburg Office. Last
week he was removed from Office and Da-
vid G. Clark was appointed in his place
Now, we suppose Mr.. Spaulding comes
within the rule laid down by Halpin-
Cleveland, Notwithstanding the fact that
If he desired, he could not have left his Of
fee to Extensively disturb the equilibrium
of the Phillips county Democrats.
The civil service reform that retains
such offensive partisans in Office as Hon.
John Bissell and Col w. T. s. May,
and will turn out worthy, competent,
inoffensive man, and one who is crippled
for ife is fraud and humbug; but in
this appointment we have new version
of the favorite Democratic term, "offen-
sive partisan" One-legged Union SOL
diers and cripples are now within the
rule, while old thoroughbred politicians
are retained until their term of Office ex-
pires. We hope our Democratic brethren
are entirely satisfied with the "grand re-
form" that the Democratic party has in
augurated.
