HARD STORMS NOT NEW.

We frequently hear the remark that
the storm of last week was the worst ever
known in western Kansas so early in the
season. We distinctly remember storm
which occurred early in November, 1872,
in which the writer of this and District
Clerk Case we're showed up in a hunters
camp at Grinnell, on the Kansas Pacific.
The storm was fully equal in violence to
that of last week, and the temperature
was much lower. Do you not remember
it, Billy Norton Courier.
The above, from the pen OF Mr.. j. 81.
Simmons, who has lived in Norton county
for SO many years, is likely to let in a
food of light on the worst-storm-so-early-
in-the-season people. As history, Mr..
Simmons's statement will stand uncontra-
dicted.
Lurking among Mr.. Simmons's ne
marks concerning the weather in western
Kansas not being new, is the suggestion
OF proposition which we have often
been tempted to make on reading in
the newspapers published out here that
the winters are growing colder, as the
result Of the country changing to be suit

the buffalo grass will have to go before
this climatic change will come with per-

reasons for predicting coming change
of some magnitude in our climate as there
are for believing the buffalo grass must
go. We believe that the buffalo grass
must go, but we know, by eight years Of
inspection, that it is not going in hurry.

&c RARELY

Rarely has party been so completely
demolished in the discussion of the
issues of campaign as has been the Re-
publican party in the late canvass. The
Democratic orators have been more than
matches for the Republican orators in
in forensic ability, and Democratic poll
cies, state md national exhib It'd 81 lie by
side with, Republican policies, have re-
hected the highest honors and by contrast
effectually paled their Republican rivals.
i Scott City Herald.
The editor of the Herald, Mr.. Case, is
elected delegate to the legislature.
If, outside of this, he can construe the
defeat of Moonlight for governor, and of
nearly all the prominent Democratic
candidates for congress throughout the
country, into demolition of the Repub-
icans in the discussion of public ques-
tons, he is welcome to his consolation.
Neither Democratic papers nor Dem
ocratic orators have, in the campaign
just closed, advanced new idea in poll
tics. Outside of their vicious sentiment
on the Southern question, their campaign
thunder was made up of principles
which the Republican party had origi-
mated, and thrown aside for the purpose
Of originating newer ones to suit the
changed conditions of later times.

SELECT YOUR HORN.

Were it not for the insulting impudence
the advice of some of the new Democrat
ic papers to old settlers in western
Kansas on the subject of making final
final proofs on their claims would be
amusing. Nobody is arguing that the
government domain shonld be seized by
fraud. A decent respect for the rights OF
the settler does make contemplate many
of the purely-technical acts of Democratic
land officers jim rejecting applications for
making final proofs.
As we have said on past occasions,
these technical rulings fall with the full
est force upon the class Of people who
have stayed here through this regions
adversely.
In addition to the technical rulings
which render it well-nigh impossible for
those who are the most deserving to make
final proof, applicants are frequently kept
in ignorance as to what paper will be
given their notices for publication. FIRE.
quently the papers published nearest
their claims are ignored for the benefit of
some pet organ whose place of publica-
ton is at much greater distance from
them; and this in absolute defiance of the
rulings handed down to land registers
from Washington.
Land Commissioner Sparks's latest
order, that the forms of fnal-proof papers
be changed completely, is without sense
If it be conceded that the blank forms
which had been in use were recognized
by him. OF course, this recognition on
his part will not be questioned.
The fact is, the land laws are the Gre
alton of the Republican party. They
were enacted amid the fervid opposition
of the Democratic party. The mildest
possible explanation Of the present Dem
ocratic method of conducting the land
Office business, therefore, is that the
policy of the party is to render odious
the land laws, with the view to securing
their repeal. If this theory is held to be
there is, then, just one other
which can find Judgment in a clear brain.
This is that the Democratic party is sus-
tanning its past record by displaying its
utter incapacity for the transaction of
public business.
Grab either horn of the dilemma you
prefer!

USES OF ORATORY.

There is, well remarks contempory
journal, no branch of education that one
realizes greater benefit from in life than
the ability to clearly and forcibly express
ones ideas in public While the press is
becoming great factor in molding and
expressing ideas to the public, oratory.
nevertheless, inds its use. We often
hear ridiculed the college boys attempt
at oratory, which, on the part of the press
or the individual, is bad taste. This
branch of education is something that
every student should pursue with the
greatest care and assiduity. Ideas and
understanding in ones head are very
good things, but unless they are in a
shape to be expressed the world is none
the wiser. The young man in college
and in active life should avail himself of
every opportunity of declaiming, for in
that branch he improves in every effort,
as he does by learning well lesson in
any branch that he may be pursuing.
With a man in public life it matters not
how much knowledge he may possess, If
he is unable to forcibly and clearly ex-
press his ideas in public speech his influ-
ence extends but little beyond himself
In our national congress if one will look
over the past, the men Of influence and
renown were those who were able to
clothe their ideas in good language, and
in forcible manner express them.
Among those. for example, were Patrick
Henry, Fisher Ames, Daniel Webster,
John Randolph, Charles Sumner, John
G. Calhoun, Henry Clay and others.
While many others were equally wise,they
lacked that oratorical power and their
names are forgotten. In public meetings
when questions of importance come up
there is nothing in man that yields
such influence as the power OF express
ing publicly his views. A man may be
. first-class pariamentarian and know
just what should be done, vet If he is
unable to speak in public he is with
out influence. These examples are seen al
most daily by every reader of the World,
when the man gifted as pubio speaker,
or acquired through hard study or prac-
toe, shows his influence in society.
These facts, which none fail to see, should
prompt every young man and school boy
never to neglect anything that would
enable him to better express himself in
public

Shot to Death by q Mob.

ANTHONY, Ks, April 19--About two
months ago a fight occurred in the village
of Danville, near this place, between three
brothers named Weaver and a man named
Adel Shearer, The latter was fatally
wounded, and the Weaver boys were ar
rested and hurried away to avoid mob vio-
lence. Last week they were returned for
trial, but their cases were continued for
the term, with bail fixed at $4,000 each,
At one O'Clock this morning mob of forty
or more armed men surrounded the
residence of the sheriff, where the
prisoners were under guard. The guard
hearing them, rushed the prisoners out of
the back door and into the basement of the
new school building The sheriff and his
deputies were overpowered. Ropes were
placed around the Weaver's necks, and
preparations made to hang them to the
rafters, but the trample of approaching
feet frightened the mob, so they fired fifteen
or twenty shots into each man, literally
shooting them to pieces, and, mounting
their horses, rode rapidly away. The
mother of the boys and the wife of one OF
them witnessed the entire tragedy.

O'Clock this afternoon, He and his twelve
year-oll daughter were out walking and
in their meanderings came upon the rail-

rushing of a passenger train behind.
They endcavored to escape, but too late.
The engine struck Mr. Praeger in the back
just as he was stepping across the rail
holding his child at arms length in front of
him, The wheels passed over the mans
abdomen and thighs, manging him in a
horrible manner He died on the way to

a very deep cut on the right leg from the
thigh to tine ankle, and is very weak from
loss of blood but her life may be saved.

VIENNA, April l9-The fire at Stry is still
raging The situation there is appalling.
Thousands Of the inhabitants are bankrupt.
The charred remains of many victims have
already been dug out of the ruins. The
mayor of the town has sent telegram to
Lemberg asking that troops be sent to Stry
with appliances to extinguish the fire. The
damage is estimated at several million
forins. The total number of dead is now
forty. Most Of the victims were children.
VIENNA, April 19.-When the fire at Stry
had reached its height the prisons were
opened, but the authorities had delayed
the release of the prisoners too long, and
fourteen of the unfortunate inmates were
burned to death. In the suburbs Of the
town all was confusion. The peasants
looted houses and shops after conflicts
with their owners, some of whom, in
their despair, committed suicide. The
gale was so severe that sparks
were carried three miles and set fire to a
number of huts occupied by the peasantry.
The Emperor has donated $500 for the re
lief of the sufferers. The latest estimates of
the fatalities at Stry are placed at one
hundred, including fifty children, supposed
to have been burned to death in a school
house. When the fire commenced the bulk
ofthe inhabitants were absent at fete,
