-IT is evident from Colonel Ellis re.

one of the Argonauts Of the Pacific, or else
he is very young man. He docs not seem
to remcmber any farther back than 1870.
Nineteen years before that time the bias

OF California, but at that time there was no
Republican party TO speak Of.

IT is really shame that Senator Fair
had not given Col. Ellis permission 10 run
for U. S. Senator week or two sooner, so
that he could have committed his whole
speech TO memory. The Colonel is really

announcing the fac hat the great Demo

SHERIFF.,

A. w. Brann, the nominee for Sheriff, is
we'll and favorably knownin the county, and
has bceps resident here for many years. He
is a gentleman who will do honor 10 the Of.
fice, and at the same time is able to perform
the duties Of making arrests and looking
after criminals after they were arrested equ-
ally as well, il not little better, than any
Sheriff this county ever had. He does not
belong to the Kansas Cattlemen's Associa-
lion, nor did he when he was IS years old;
neither do we believe he knew Jesse James
nor the Younger brothers, but at the same
lime if he was called upon to arrest such
characters it is two 10 one bet he would
bring them. Mr.. Brann, did, however, do
good service in the Union army, and fought
bravely for the. country the secessionists
tried to ruin.

Tes. Of water-risht Commitments.

Warned by the fate Of the Oregon, the
Russian government has been inaugurating
an exhaustive test Of water tight compart-
ments, which IL contemplates applying 30 all
new vessels, and probably to older ones as
we'll Tho man-of-war selected was the cor
vette cruiser vitiaz, which was finished last
autumn, and is under sailing orders for the
Pacific. Sene weeks ago an intimation was
conveyed to the dockyard authorities at
Cronstadt that the water-tight compartments
would be tested In succession, and instructions
were given TO survey them afPesh and make
good any defects that might be discovered
II the official report is to be believed, every
effort was made to meet the wishes Of the adj
miralty; yet when the compartments were
actually filed with water the fluid gushed
through numerous apertures which had
escaped the eye, and in some cases to an ex-
tent which would have been troublesome at
sea after serious accident To secure per-
lection several of the compartments were
filled two or three times, and it was only
otter deal of door adjusting and leak stop
ping that the corvettes was pronounced fit &c
proceed to sea. Chicago News.

Improvements Needed In Park Benches.
OF course these benches are inadequate to
the accommodation Of the nlultitudes that
visit the parks, and who, sooner or later, are
anxious to sit down and rest. But man and
woman win stand up or walk around long
time before they will sit down alongside peo-
pie whom they do not fancy The park
benches are all as loRg as if intended to hold
geography class at a common school, and
what usually happens is this: One tramp
takes q seat at one end Of bench, and soon
afterwsrd another tramp takes seat at the
other end, after which everybody avoids it as
carefully as il 1t were newly painted never
saw park bench twenty feet long yet that
would accommodate but two, or, at the most,
three persons.
The seats provided for visitors should not
be longer than will accommodate two per-
sons Instead Of one long bench there should
be three short ones, ton feet apart Better
still would he six chairs, six feet apart A
still greater improvement woald be the sub

very trihing expense, and would present
many advantages. A gentleman or lady
could sit on it without without being in UNI

Portable that they wouh wish to occupy il

The blind Chaplain,s Modern Devi.

The devil Of to-day is polished, Travelled,
gentlemanly appearing individual. He has
been In London, and Paris, and New York,

knows all about the grand sights, and is well
posted on the gossip and news Of the day. He
moves in the best society and is much I'D
mired here. He dresses in faultless style
His cold, gray eye looks steadily at you and
fascinates you, perhaps he has thin, deli
cate lips and fine nostrils that are easily
curved in scorn.
One great feature of the modern devil is
that be never becomes enthusiastic over any
thing. You may show him the most beauti-
full sunset or natural views, the most rare
and valuable painting or piece of statuary
and with his cold, gray eye he win look
steadily at it and make some disparaging re-
mark You can not point out man or wo-

cynic a Mephistopheles. He enters your
drawing room and your churches He
causes trouble and discussion everywhere.

A rach Mans Tailor-maao Clothes.


A New York tailor who makes clothes for
fashionable young men-and fashionable old
men, too, for that matter-says that q
marked change has come over the methods of
some Of his customers during the past year
or two. It used TO be the proper thing for
rich men to make contracts with their tailors
for years supply OF clothes, at 80 much per
year. They got new suit and wore it as
long as 1t looked fresh; then they would take
it back and obtain new one In it's stead,
and so they were able 10 go through the year
in a well-dressed way. 1t was an English
custom that tho gentlemen imported, and IL
was considered quite the necessary way for
several years, till suddenly somebody began
to suspect that 1t was not quite as economical
as some other plan might be- The same
thing dawned on lots Of other people soon
after, and that ended the custom. A rich
mans tailor-nade wardrobe on this plan used
to cost anywhere from 3, 900 to $1,000 per
year-in exceptional cases, of course, mount
ing much higher. 1t woS bonanza for the
tailors, whose hot 1stirons seldom failed to
make creased suit returned by one Gus
toner look bright and fresh enough for
another.
Now rich men are paying for their clothes
as they buy them, at so much per suit. The
old style, which dill not amount to much
more than renting Of the CLOTHES, and which
went under on the score Of economy, makes
way for new scheme, which, II the tailors
ore to be believed, Is good deal more expen.

interesting, and the reason womapkind can-

Smoking is great safeguard against infec-
tious diseases. II h only by reading up the
subject scientifically In medical treatises that
ono thoroughly gets TO understand the
thousand risks Of this kind that we
run every day. In the country dur
ing the summer months, when men are on
their holidays, they look forward 10 having
temporary respite from smoking. Then IL
does not so much matter how the Temporal
ment is; living so much in the open air the
smoking OF other persons has little effect on
them and there Is less danger Of infection.
1t Is TO keep off the flies that men smoke at
the seaside and on the hills Their own

Pathetic Story OF Hallway Accident.
Tony BIS Last SCOOP.
II Is not 50 many years ago that Tony
b., the attache OF central Iowa paper,
now defunct, rode out from southern Iowa

on the brake Of flat car that was attached
10 'wild freight" and loaded with iron rails.
He was like other reporters, made up Of vices
and virtues--only the first seen by the world,
the latter best known by his intimate friends
He had been In newspaper work for about
six years, was thoroughly capable, and
scored more scoops than was ever recorded
against him. This, In the eyes Of the city
editor, insured his entrance into paradise
To make the story short, forty miles out
from its starting point tbs "wild" freight,

Tony, lying across the side Of dismantled
box car, on his chest . heavy rail, his legs
crushed, and dying. Beyond him lay q dead
brakeman; the engineer was buried under his
machine, and by large bowldsr was the fire
man, with broken back. Tony was con-
scious, and, when the conductor reached him,
asked for paper and pencil They were found
in his pockets. Unable 10 write himself, he
dictated this, angrily ordering the men who
had come up 10 let him alone:
