A LEGEND OF ARROW HEAD.


At the time of the war in Heaven scene
took place not recorded in Milton's Paradise
Lost. When the Devil found himself van
quished he retreated to earth, alighting on a
mountain at the head of. DEVILS canon FIVE
miles from the Springs. From here he glided
down the valley, and slid along the base of
the range until he came opposite the Springs
in this locality. Here the great Archangel
discovered him, and let fly an arrow. This
his Satanic Majesty avoided by plunging into
the bowls of the earth, from which he sent
forth sulphureas stream of boiling water to
prevent pursuit The Springs and the en-
bedded arrow on the mountain side remain to
attest the truth of the legend, The Springs,
over twenty, are very wonderful indeed,
Their curative powers are known almost the
world over All kinds of baths are given
here-tub, vapor, plunge and mud, The
latter are exceptionally good for rheumatism,
and have made some extraordinary cures,
The hotel is heated by pipes filed with the
naturally boiling water, and is the only house
in existence heated in this way. We FREE
quently cook eggs in the Springs. 1t is a
novel way to lunch. The temperature Of the

THE Lawrence Journal would like
to have democratic orators answer q
few questions like the following:
l. Why have the expenditures of
the government increased $4,000, 600
mot counting increase of pensions, ,)and
the offices been multiplied under the
retrenchment and reform administra-
tion?
2. Why have 1900 officers been add
ed during the past year to the horde of
pap suckers?
8. Why are office holders forbidden
by presidential circular from partici-
pating in political affairs and yet, in
every state in the Union, there are
more federal officials in partisan con-
ventions and on the stump than ever
before?
4. Why has there been no attempt
made to adjust the. ubiquitous tariff
and establish tariff for revenue only?
5. Why has not some attempt been
made to open Oklahoma to settlement?
6. Why has not the law of congress
authorizing and compelling the Presi-
dent to appoint a commission to secure
a REIMBURSEMENT of Indian title to the
Oklahoma country been observed?
:. Why were the pension bills vetoed
and the 5000, 600 River aud HarbOr
approved?

A SENSIBLE LETTER,

The following letter from one of the
most influential business men of Fort
Scott, and one who has always been
a prominent and active temperance
worker, seems to us to express views
that must meet the concurrence OF
every honest prohibitionist:
FORT SCorT, KAs., Sept. 30, 1886.
James H. Troutman, Secretary.
My Dear Sir:-Having received
letters from Topeka and Olathe during
the last few weeks, in reference to the
third party movement, to which have
replied that there are none here within
the range of my information who are
willing to favor the movement, have
thought proper to give you my reasons.
am more impressed to think that
voting for Martin is the proper thing
for q true, unprejudiced temperance
man to do-since the developments of
the last twenty days. Iwant no bet
ter temperance paper than Gov. Mar
tins last speech, and this line is being
followed by others on the stump.
Mr.. Funston and General Caldwell
have been here this week, and both
indorsed prohibition in the strongest
terms. 1 am no politician, and am az
near non-partisan as any republican
can be-and yet can be a good repub-
lican in Kansas while the party is 80
outspoken on the temperance question.
I voted for Mr.. st. John for president,
but while the republican party has
done and is still determined to do that
which no third party can possibly hope
to dol think every Temperance man
should stand by it. I think we could
do our cause no greater good than to
withdraw every nominee now before
the people on the third party ticket.
Yours, very respectfully,
w. H. Stout.

In the legislature elected In Georgia
q few days ago there are not more than
fifteen antl-prohibitiOnists. Such an
assembly in the north would be over
whelmingly republicans. but in this
case all the members are democrats ex-
cept five.-COurdnt.
There are no doubt plenty of indi-
vidual democrats in the south who are
prohibitionists. But nobody has heard
of the democratic party anywhere in
the south putting prohibition in its
pOlitical platform.
The Iola register., 1886-10-29

THE democrats effect to laugh at the
speech making ability of the republi-
can candidates, but we take notice
that they don't put any of their own
candidates on the platform to any
alarming degree. They did turn friend
Snyder lose down at Humboldt one
night, but they clapped muzzle on
him the minute he got through and
not peep has been heard from him
since. They didn't dare to let any of
the rest of them make even one speech.

SOME of the demogogical enemies OF
Mr.. Ewing are trying to use to his
prejudice the fact that he has been
employed in several important law
suits by one of Iola's wealthiest and
most respected citizens. To every fair
minded, thinking man this fact should
rather be to Mr.. Ewing's credit than
otherwise. Does a shrewd and success
full man place large legal interests in
the hands of a characterless, careless,
incompetent attorney?

P. H. HARRIS, G. F. Scott and C. E.
Merwin addressed fifteen men at Deer
Creek last Monday night. Before the
eloquence was disbed out only twelve
of them were democrats. At the close
of the meeting all of the fifteen were
democrats, and the speakers were on
the fence. Let the good work 60 on
Democrat.
Come to think of it, Prof., the Deer
Creekers pelted US with lot Of stale
cats, didn't they? and disappointed
eggs and decayed vegetables and such.
The only wonder is that we escaped

ALLEN COUNTY has never had a
more thoroughly upright and conscien-
tious commissioner than w. A. Ross,
When he is sitting as a member of
that Board, he remembers neither
friend nor foe, but copsiders only the
welfare of the county. We have known
him to decide questions in favor of per-
sonal and political enemies and against
personal and political friends, because
he thought the interests of the county
demanded 1t. Such a man will do to
tie to.

HON. E. H. FUNSTON.
From tho Fort Scott Monitor.

From tho Fort Scott Monitor.
The Allen County Democrat last
week comes out with venomous at
tack upon Mr.. Funston, in which it
cites two instances wherein Mr.. Fun
ston failed to do his duty while in
Washington. So far as relates to the
first charge which concerns Mr.. Fun
stOn's failure to obtain an increase of
pension for one of his constituents, we
know nothing, but judging by the
falseh0Od and misrepresentation of the
balance Of the Democrats article, we
naturally conclude that the whole ar
ticle is tissue of misrepresentation
from beginning to end. However, we
will give portion of the Democrats
editorial, and then state the facts as
we know them to be ourselves, and let
the public Judge for itself.
Says the Democrat:
But this is not all. How did he
manage the appropriation for the pub
lie building at Fort Scott? Did he
secure the additional appropriation
needed to complete the building? No,
and why not? Simply because of his
stupidity. The facts in this case are
simply these: The people of Fort Scott
required an additional appropriation
to complete the public building at this
place, and asked and depended upon
Funston to secure it for them. They
waited and waited and no bill asking
for the appropriation was presented to
the house. Letters urging the matter
to be pushed forward were written: !:
but still no effort was made. Finally

THE county has never had an officer
who gave more universal satisfaction
than has NJ. p. JacOby, Clerk of the
District Court. Always courteous and
obliging. with a pleasant word for every
one. with the business of his office al
ways as straight as a string, he richly

Mr., EUGENE F. BARNEs,of Marion,
In declining to be candidate on the
Third party ticket, says: "If the Third
party is the only organization that
will ever do anything for prohibition,
the noble State of Kansas will in ten
wears float in whisky, and the nights
in Marion be made hideous with the
shouts of drunk men,"

ALLEN COUNTY DEMOCRATS AND PRO.
HIBITION.

The democratic bosses of Allen coun-
ty are not without shrewdness. They
are well aware that no ticket that
could be nominated would stand a
ghost ofa show with the people of this
county if placed on a whiskey plat

about prohibition was heard, and ever
since then when charged with being In
favor of free whiskey they have poin-
ted to their county platform and said
"The Allen cou nty democracy are not
opposed to prohibition. They do not
say a word against it," Let us see
whether they do or not. In the Sec
ond plank of their county platform we
find this 1--WE heartily endorse the ut
terance of the last National and State
platforms" But what are those utter
ances? Here are few of them taken
from the third plank Of. the democratic
State platform of 1884.
Constitutional prohibition has been fruitful
ofdiscord, perjury and discrimination; has not
lessened the evils Of intemperance, but rather
destroyed the pure fire side influences which
must ever be the loving power to control the
appetites of the wayward; 1t has never been
endorsed or acquiesced in by majority of our
people; 1t is an assault on the personal liberty
Of the citizen. In view of the forego-
ing, and for other reasons, we demand a resub-
mission of the prohibitory amendment and
pledge ourselves to work unceasingly for this
object. We demand the repeal of the present
obnoxious and unjust law for the enforcement
of prohibition and in its stead well regulated
license system.
These are the "utterances" that the
Allen county democracy ''heartily en-
dorse." Are they right sure they are
not opposed to prohibition?
But this is not all. In the last plank
of their county platform they say,"We
look to the spirit and genius of the
democratic party for the settlement of
the vexed questions..of labor and capit-
al, corporate and sole property, tariff,
taxes. sun,ptuary and sanitary laws"
That must mean, if it means anything.
that they hold themselves ready to
adopt the method of settlement" that
might be proposed by any of the subse-
quent utterances Of the State or Ma
tional democracy. Very well then.
they must endorse the following from
the State democratic platform of 1856.
= We are opposed to the principles Of
constitutional prohibit ton. and demanda re-
submission Of the prohibitory amendment in
this State so that the question may be finally
and intelligently settled, whereby the interests
of true temperance may be promoted and the
individual liberty and manhood of the citizens
respected and restored, and instead of consti
tutional and statutory prohibition we favor .
. we'll regulated and just license system.
That is the way the 'spirit and gen.
ius of the democratic party" of Kan
sas propose..to settle the question of
"sumptuary legislation" and it must
be agreed to by the Allen county dem
ocracy for they pledged themselves in
advance to abide by it, and we have
beard none of them repudiating i'll
since.
The democratic bosses of this county
are not without shrewdness. But let
them not think that by jugglery of|
words they can fool and befuddle the
people. The voice may be Jacobs
voice, but the hand Is the hand of|
Esau. The democratic party of Allen
like the democratic party of|
the State and the Nation, is for free
whiskey.
