OTATE OF KANSAS,
OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,
NJ T- 1000

TOPEKA, Nov. IL, 1886.
Chas. H. Gibbs, Esq, wa-Keeney, Kan,
DEAR SHIN answer to your favor, of
November II, will say that, in my opin-
ion, it Is your duty to proceed to collect
the taxes on your tax-roll against prop
erty In Wallace county the same as you
have heretofore done. If Wallace county
is legally organized county, it is for
Wallace county to establish that fact.
Until they do so establish it. my view of
your duty is that you should consider
Wallace county as an unorganized county
attached to Trego county for Judicial
purposes, township of Trego county and
subject to taxation. Sec 81 OF Oh. ~,
laws 1873, as re-enacted by the special
session of 1884
Yours respectfully,

Attorney General

ten years ago he passed through this city on his
way to Persia, where he has since labored in the
city of Tabreez missionary. The chief work
is. with the Armenians, but the day is coming
when the Mohammedans of that country will

this city, who is an earnest missionary In Persia.

it would not be wise to cut down the trees, lay
waste the park and divide its cost, giving 81
apiece to each of the neODle in New York. The

tions During Residence In Russia.
The evening session opened with the reading
by Rev. NJ L. Haines, of the First Presby terrain
Church, of the sixtieth chapter of isaiah "Arise,
shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the
Lord is risen upon thee etc. Prayer was
offered by Rev. II. A. Edison, D. D.
Rev. j. Wilson, of Siam, then spoke of mis-
sionary work in that field from the time of the
arrival of the first missionary. The earlier
missionaries died without having an opportu-
nifty to see the fruit of their labors The speaker
said it was his privilege to see the bap-
tism of the first Siamese convert, in 1852 a
man of comparatively high life. In southern
Siam, where Mr. Dunlap has labored, multi
tudes are being gathered into the church
and many have made journey by boats of two
hundred miles, and were baptized before they
returned to their homes, In Bangkok the field
is more difficult, but there the workers are en-
couraged. He spoke Of the mission work at
Changmoi, in Laos where he had had the privi-
lege OF working for the past twenty years, and
the superstitutions of the degraded people, who
are Buddhists in religion. 1t used to take eight
and even ten months to hear from the home

They May Not Drink.

The Fall Brook Coal Company, which,
employs over one thousand men in its|
mines and on its railroads in the semi-|
bituminous coal region in Tioga county j
Penn, conducts it business on the|
strictest temperance principles. I'M
December, 1882, the company adopted
a rule that any employee who was
known to use Intoxicating drinks
would be dismissed from the company's
service. The rule is known as {" Rule
No L. Since then the company has
discharged over three hundred of its
railroad hands and nearly as many
other employees for violating the rule.
AT first the company re-employed dis
charged men on satisfactory evidence
that they had reformed, but the trial
was made with but five men. Every
one of them broke the rule the second
time. Then no excuse would recover
a discharged man his place. When an
employee is detected in using liquor or
beer, the money due him is placed in a
blue envelope and handed to him. The
receipt of blue envelope is notice that
the man is discharged, and that under
no circumstances can he ever again OBJ
tain employment of the company, even
as track-repairer. The strict enforce
ment of the rule has forced some of the
oldest and best men in the service of
the company out of its employ, but Rule
No. l will not be varied from to save
the most valued man on the payroll.
A person applying for work to the Fall
Brook Company must present certif-
cate that he is a teetotaler, and must
sign pledge that he will continue to
abstain absolutely from intoxicating
drinks while in the service of the COM
pany, whether on duty or not. Since
this rule was adopted by the coal COM
pany the list of fatalities in its mines
and on its railroads has decreased fifty
per cent and the employees all have
money ahead.

Eight-HOur Thoughts.

There is class of people in this
country who get up at five O'Clock in
the morning and who never get back to
bed until ten or eleven o'clock at night;
who work without ceasing the whole of
that time, and receive no other emolu-
ment than food and the plainest cloth
ing. They understand something of
every branch of economy and labor,
from finance to cooking. Though har-
assed by hundred responsibilities,
though driven and worried, though re-
preached and looked down upon, they
never revolt, and they cannot organize
for their own protection. Not even
sickness releases them from their posts.
No sacrifice is deemed too great for
them to make, and no incompetency in
any branch of their work is excused.
No essays or books or poems are writ
ten in tribute to their steadfastness.
They die in the harness and are sup
planted as quickly as may be. These
are the housekeeping wives of the la
boring men. 1t is they who get their
husbands breakfast at five O'Clock in
the morning, get the children off to
school, do the washing, ironing and
baking, sewing, scrubbing, sweeping
and marketing, caring all the while for
the babies, and doing the mending after
the husband lies snoring. They do go
to bed, but hardly sleep, for nursing
children often draw their life from
them all the night long. What leisure
or enjoyment for them? What chance
for Improvement or uplifting? And
what do they think of the eight-hour
movement? They think it means that
the calico they now buy for the five
cents will cost eight cents by-and-by;
that the coal will soon be 81 and IS a
ton, and that the pittances out of which
they now buy these will be less before
long. Is it a pleasure to them that
their husbands will have two hours
more leisure? If the men stay at home
during that time the chances are the
wives will be reproached for what is
deemed neglect, and that some of the
children will be whipped. Will the
husbands fetch coal, or black the stoves,
or take the washing from the line, or
go to the market? Not for one day out
of the three hundred sixty-fve. They
will irritate them with their criticisms,
will make the children unhappy, and
then leave for some place more suited
to their selfishness.. 1t sounds hard,
but it is true, and every woman knows
that it is true. She knows that there
will be two hours less in which to earn
money and two hours more in which to
spend it. She knows that her burden
will be no lighter, and in patient Gym
icism she awaits the result.-Chicago

studied himself to death. When he
was appointed chief-justice, in 1864, he
had been out of his profession for some
years; he had mixed in politics, and
although an able man and sound law
yer, he saw himself presiding over men
who had given their lives to their pro-
fession, and who had vast stores of legal
learning, acquired during the years that
he had been devoting to other things.
Stung by this, he worked as no man
ever worked beforehand, only fifty-six
at the date of his appointment, he died
at sixty-hve, worn out with his labors.
The conference room of the supreme
court is plain room back of the court
room. Here, around long table, the
justices meet to prepare their opinions
and discuss them. Several of the Justices
are slightly deaf, as gentlemen of their
age are apt to be, and the consequence
is that the shouting in the conference
room sounds sometimes as if it were
time to read the riot act. The door
keeper smiles when the hubbub gets
very loud. "They're just as amiable as
so many lambs, but some of 'em don't
hear very well, and so they have to
bawl pretty loud" Forth from the
place of commotion step the judges,
grave and sedate in their black silk
robes, looking as if they had never
raised their voices above a judicial
monotone in their lives Washington

A Strong Temperance Argument.

Senator Spooner, the eloquent young
Wisconsin senator who made repu-
tation in the senate for oratory in the
delivery of an eulogy on the late Vice
president Hendricks, is teetotaler,
but he does not make a parade of his
temperance principles. 1t is noticed
that he does not drink intoxicating
liquors of any kind, and when he is
asked the reason he does not hesitate
to give it. He says: 81 have three
boys love. They have never smelled
liquor in my breath and they never
shall" The reason why he avoids
strong drink is very satisfactory one.
There is not one man in a thousand
who will not admit its force, although
not more than one in a thousand may
be guided by it.-Sarannah Meas.

Temperance.
How Drink Kills.

1t has been my duty to read the re(
ords of, and to make careful inquir
into, the last illness and death of man
parts of the country. Two great fea
lures are shown in those records-th
value of mans inheritance of vitality
and the modifying force of habits 0
living upon that vitality. Every ma
is born with an amount of vital fore
that ought, accidents apart and humanl
speaking, to carry him a specific dis
lance on the scale of years, and eac
mans inheritance can, on the average
be fairly determined. Among the per
sons selected with care for physica
soundness and sobriety, and who are
as rule, respectable and useful mem
bers OF society, the death-rate is mort
profoundly affected by the use of in
toxicating drinks than by any other onI
cause apart from heredity. There ard
not, among insured men, a great man
deaths in the gutter nor from deliriunI
tremens. There are great many hob
nailed livers, and other diseases whos(
history is not far to seek; but in thd
majority of cases the effect is mainly
apparent in the predisposition to dis
ease caused by drink and the sappin9
of the vital powers, impairing thei1
ability to maintain healthy action undel
adverse circumstances, to sustain {
conflict with disease, or to rally from
shock. The degree to which many dis
eases, commonly referred to malaria
over-work, and other vague, general
scapegoat causes, are actually grounded
in what would almost invariably b.
called temperate use of drink by per
sons of reputed temperate habits, woul,
be incredible to the mass of people un
accustomed to careful observation
and comparison of related cases. Tha
habitual, scottish drunkenness shoul
issue in disease and death, most peopl
can understand; but that moderate, OF
DERBY, decorous indulgence should issu
in congested brains, insanity, suicide
paralysis, disease of kidneys, liver
stomach, in pneumonia, rheumatism
and in general in those diseases whic
at bottom mean poison imported int,
the blood, most persons do not know
and are slow to believe.-Jacob L
Greene, President Connecticut Mutual.
