day she stands forth garlanded with
wreathes Of golden grain that Ceres
herself might envy, laden with fruits
Pomona might be proud to claim.
Her pathway had been full of diff
culties. Many time they seemed in
surmountable, but grasping her beau
teous banner-with eyes steadfastly fix
ed upon the stars-she never faltered.
Upward, ever upward she climbed.
Mounting each boulder in her path she
cried, "I'm nearer the stars by one
more difficulty!"
To-day she is nearer the stars than
ever before. Looking up through her
clear atmosphere the stars shine bright
and beautiful above her, and the diff
culties over which she has climbed are
receding from view.

LaCygne Journal, March 9th.
Hon. E. H. Funston is steadily gain.
ing strength in Congress, and is doing
his district and the country great SER
vice in the House of Representatives.
From the beginning Of his Congress
ional life hehas been the faithful friend
of the Second Kansas District, work.
ing earnestly and effectively for its in
terests. During the present session he
has shown himself a power in speeches
and debates on the floor of the House.
He. has won special laurels as the
champion of liberal dealing in the mat
ter of pensions for soldiers and soldiers
widows. Among the best speeches OF
the session, on the silver question, is
that of Mr.. Funston, who strongly and
eloquently, with sound argument, op-
posed the proposed stoppage of the
coinage Of silver. Political indications
point to the REORGANIZATION of Represent.
alive Funston without opposition In
the republican convention, and his re.
election by magnificent majority.

THROUGH DIFFICULTIES.
Leavenworth Times.

Leavenworth Times.
Kansas has gained her place among
the stars of the Union through difficult
les, such as were encountered by no
other state. Born on the battlefield
where slavery and discord waged war
on liberty and union, her very
swaddling clothes were drenched with
blood. Yet with an abiding faith in
her watchword she arose triumphant
over all her foes, and "the greater the
difficulty the nearer the stars" was all
her thought as she strobe on and over
them all.
No other state has had half the diff
culties to overcome that Kansas has,
and yet where is the state of twice her
age that is SO well known, yields the
influence, has made such rapid prog
ress, or has carried off the palm in SO
many competitions with her sister
states as has Kansas?
Do you remember, how twelve years
ago her fields were parched as ifby
furnace, and her substance devoured
by the swarming insects? How car
loads of food and clothing were sent to
her starving settlers? Ofcourse you do,
and the world declared that Kansas
must be again given over to the Indian,
the buffalo and coyote. That was 1874
and IS. And the next year was 1876.
The union was aun Kindred years old.
There was to be "family party" that

desert, and of course she can't fix her.
self up like her sisters, but amt no
respecter of persons. Kansas can come,
and she can stick up shanty for her
self, if she don't want to room with
the other gals"
You doubtless remember that she
was there. She put up her little sham
ty on the grounds. Did you go to see
her in her beggar's garments, feeding
on ''dried locusts 'thout any honey" Us
her diet was supposed to be? All yes!
but you found her ''nearer the stars by |
one more difficulty"
She kindly welcomed you in, and
showed you few samples Other handi- |
work. And when you had gazed on
those piles of beautiful apples and
swore they were "wax" till she handed |
you one to eat; when you had squinted
at every inch Of those mammoth corn |
stalks, and could find no place in the
whole eighteen feet where they were
''spliced;" when you had gazed, almost
in awe, at such enormous growth Of
grain you ask, "Is it possible that this

of miracles returned?

Everything has been so quiet for the
past two or three weeks that we had
almost forgotten there was such a thing
as railroad strike in kansas. Early
last Monday morning, however, an ac-
cident occurred on the. Missouri Pacific
near Wyandotte that reminds US that
the strike is still on and that some one
is growing desperate. At the time re-
ferred to, while. running along the NJ.
P. road on the Kansas side of the Kaw
river, at the Wyandotte Bluffs, a heav-
lily loaded freight train, pulled by en-
CINE No. 1862, plunged headlong into
the Kansas river, carrying the entire
train fifteen cars and burrying brake
man and the fireman of the engine be-
meath the ruins, where they were
smothered and scalded to death. The
engineer jumped and barely saved his
life. The accident was caused by the
spreading of the rails on the narrow
ledge between the bluffs and the river
where the Missouri Pacific track runs
at this point. On examination it was
found that the spikes had been pulled
and the rails merely left lying in their
places, without any fastenings what.
ever, to deceive the engineers. When
the heavy engine. struck the loose rails
they parted like reeds and the engine
and train jumped into the river. The
river being low the bottom at this
point was but an oozy bed of mud with
little or no water over it. Shortly af-
ter the accident three men were seen
making their way rapidly up the track
in the direction of Atchison. The
watch1nen and deputies at Pomeroy

shots at the flying fugitives. The men
made for the woods and made good
their escape.
