CONCERNING A TRAITOR

One of the best things that has been
said upon the reception of jeff Davis
in the south, is the speech of Governor
Foraker, at Cleveland last Friday.
He said:
If the spirit of liberty was not dead
in the south neither was it dead in the
north. Whatever actions may repre-
sent, this man, jeff Davis, who talks
about liberty, represents only human
slavery, the degradation of labor, the
treason of secession and rebellion, the
horror and infamies of Libby and An
Jacksonville all, in short, that is most
malicious, vicious and damning in
American history. To talk of him rs
an illustriOus statesman, who is to be
hOnored with Washington in history,
is to insult every sentiment of loyalty
and decency in this great country he
wickedly did SO mnch to destroy.

DISSENTING LARGE CITIES.

Strikes and labor agitations are re-
sulting in driving large msnufsc turing
enterprises away from the over
crowded cities to smaller points on
railroad lines, where they are less liza
bic to have trouble with their en-
plOyes. In these smaller places the
unemployed and vicious classes are
less numerous, and the danger of
strikes and boycOtts greatly lessened.
The scattering of the great plants
over the country would certainly be a
partial cure for the disasters to be APP
repended from the periodical raids of
mobs and riots, instigated by men who
do not work Themselves and do not
want other men to work.
Much of the strength of strikers in
great trade centers lies in the fact that
they have the support of a vast num-
Der Of men employed in other indus
tries, who, while perhaps content
with their own condition, are ready
to extend encouragement and assist
in kindling the fires of discomfort in
other trades. The scattering plan is
worth the trial at leas..-Leavenworih

Pierce and the Algebraic Problem.

Ex-President Franklin Pierce once
taught in Oxford county. A problem in
algebra was brought to Mr.. Pierce by q
scholar, with the request that he give aid
in solving it. He took the problem and
worked on it a long time, and, being un-
able to solve it, gave the scholar lecture
on perseverance and advised him to work
it out himself That night the young
schoolmaster worked at his room until a
very late hour on the problem, but with
out success. Finally in a sort of mental
abstraction he got up and commenced
pacing the room. While so doing he no
ticed a small closet near the side of a
chimney; opening this and exploring its
interior he found a torn and wrinkled
piece Of paper with figures on it. Taking
it out he found that the figures on that
piece of paper were the solution of the
very problem which had perplexed him SO
greatly.-Lewiston Me) Journal.

A KANSAS CANAL.

Travellers to Colorado, via the
Santa Fe road, have noticed for the
past two or three years a very large
force of men and teams engaged in
making canal in the vicinity of CHM
arron, and further west 1t is now
complete and the water will be turned
into it in a few days. The canal is
forty feet in width at the bottom, six
feet in depth and seventy miles in
length. 1t has cost three-fourths
OF million dollars, aud was
built by A. T. Soule, the Hop Bitters
man Of Rochester, N. Y. The purpose
it is designed for is to irrigate and re-
claim the arid region around Spear
vile in Ford county. Whether it sue
ceeds of not, depends on the water
supply. The Arkansas sinks out of
sight frequently in western Kansas,
and unless some system of submerged
dam can be devised to check this I'M
derflOw and bring the water to the
surface, the enterprise will be a fail
ure.-Minneapolis Messenger.

AN IRATE METEROLOGIST.

The Lcavenwor:h meterologist, Mr..
W. +. Foster, writes us sharp per-
sonal letter, because we said that his
great storm. which was TO have been
this worst of the season, and which
was to open out west of the Missis-
sippi ON the cath or 25th of April and
sweep on TO the Atlantic by the Goth
or 9th. didn't materializc. Nor did
it. Mr.. +. speaks of retaliation. II
he proposes to do this by sweeping
the Arkansas valley with storm, we
hope he will consider how many inno-
cent people might suffer and withhold
his vengeance. AS for the threat that
he will hereafter withhold his predic-
tions from the EAGLES dispatches,
that is more like it. The wind blow
eth where IT listeih, and we hear the
sound thereof, but we cannot tell
from whence its comes, or wither it
goeih, and we would rather Mr..
Foster would leave us IN ignorance. If
Mr. Fosters retaliation, though,
should fizzle out as badly as did his
great continental storm, it will hardly
reach this valley of sunshine and of
the great metropolitan EAGLE. As
for the Times great meteorological
being personally offensive to the edi-
tor of this paper, that is the sheerest
nonsense. He no doubt is a bright.
clever gentleman. but God rules the
storm and no 'feIler" has ever sue
ccssfully figured out the rule. When
il comes 10 guessing the EAGLE can
make as good hand IS anybody.
Mr.. Foster may note: We guess tina,
on the Goth of June the Missouri river
at Leayenworth won't be fordable;
frour july I'd to 9th weather extreme

southern Kansas from The 9th to 18th

In New Yord, the other day, one of
the street railway strikers sent a note
to the Master Workman of the assem-
bly, of the Knights of Labor to which
he belonged, asking the privilege of
Withdrawing from the order that he
might go back TO work. 1.-The oblga-
tions | took when joining" he wrote,
"wili be just as sacred TO me when |
am out. but have another obligation
which must fulfill, aud that is to pro-
vide for my family" There is ma
terial in this brief but pertinent
and impressive statement for
very serious thought on the
part Of workingmen who are
asked io surrender the right of in
dependent action for the doubtful
benefits of a secret labor organization.
The obligation of husband amt
father TO feed aud clothe his wife and
children is one which he cannot afford
TO disregard ON any account: aud vet
he cannot be a Knight of Labor with
ont conseDting TO neglect that impera-
tive duty at the dictation of "griev-
ance committee" for reasons which he
is not permitted TO pass upon for him
self in any observation-disclosures.

Mr.. GouId's resolving, on the advice
of his physician two years ago, to take
exercise.

"All right" said Gould; "show me
exactly what TO do"
Thereupon the medical man in
structed the millionaire in a variety
of movements such as flexing and ex-
tending the arms and legs, initiating
the lungs and slowly excluding the
air, beating the chest with the hands
aud bending the body sideways and
backward. Next dav when his bro

SOME STORIES OF THE OCCULT.


Prophecies Of . Modern Pythoness-The
Great French Wizard.
The taste for occult manifestations, once
satisfied by spirit rapping, pianchette, and
ghostly manifestations, pandered to by
ghost stories which are creating Juror, is
after all only q revival Forty years ago,
in 1916, at the ultra refined literary recep-
tons of Lady Blessington, a young French
girl, introduced by friend Of the hostess,
laid the foundation Of her future reputa-
ton in fortune telling. It was Mile.
LIE Normand, the modern pythoness. Lady
Blessington, who had been informed by
her Partisan correspondent Of the miracu-
lous gifts of her protege, determined to try
her before she could have become &C
quainted with any Of the persons present,
or even ascertain their names. Three men
were successfully brought to her. To the
first after examining his hand she said:
AYour life will be happy and successful
one; you will die old, without pain; but on
one occasion you and one of your children
VIII miraculously escape destruction" To
the second: 1T seems almost incredible.
but would say to you, in the words Of
Shakespeare, Thou wilt be king hereafterr
Yes, sir; you will reign" After gazing
into the palm Of the third, the young girl
shivered, grew pale, and dropped his hand.
Quickly rallying, she informed him that
she had seen nothing worth repeating and
left his side. But the same night, before
leaving, she implored Lady Blessington to
distrust her guest, saying: He will COM
init murder and be sentenced to death"
These three men were Charles Dickens,
who, in 1854, returning from abroad, was
in the horrible railway accident of Staple
hurst, and escaped unhurt; the MS. Of
Our Mutual Friend" his offspring, en-
closed in a small handbag, was found
upon the track amid the debris, and re-
turned to the author. The second man
was Prince Louis Napoleon. No COM
mentary is needed. The third was Charles
Wainwright, then q most promising
painter, who afterward murdered his wife
with the most revolving cruelty. He was
condemned to death, but the queen COM
muted his sentence to transportation for
life.
Desbarolles, the great French wizard,
has chosen this opportune moment to leave
the world; sooner he might have passed
away without even the slightest notice.
He was not rich, having lost all his for
tune in the failure of bank, and because,
as he said, -he had not dared to ask per-
mission to examine the hand of the man.
ager." He used to receive his clients in q
room of dazzling brightness, with curtain
less windows, the light coming in full
from the sky, the gardens, and above the
roofs. Desbarolles laughingly exclaimed:
my attic is the anteroom of the constella-
tons"
In 1865 very young creole, Mile.
