Miss Frank O. Folsom, to Whom the
President Was married Wednes-
day Evening.

Miss Frank C. Folsom, the Presidents
bride. is % years old, a resident of Buff
falO, and daughter of that Mr.. Folsom,
now deceased, who for many years, was
partner with Mr.. Cleveland in the prac-
tice Of the law. Her father died in con-
sequence Of fall from his buggy. Miss
Folsom is a well-educated young lady.
She graduated from West College. Auro-
IA, N. Y. She possesses great personal
charms. Her hair and eyes are intensely
dark, her features we'll cut, and her COM
plexiOn faultless. In figure she is tall
and well formed, and she dresses in the
perfect taste which assuredly enhances
the endowment Of physical beauty.
Possessing striking and very pleasing
appearance, being accomplished and
clever, and accustomed to society, Miss
Folsom will make a mistress Of the White
House such as it has rarely had. The
Presidents best friend can wish him no
better fortune than to win bride whose
beauty and attainments are q demOnstra-
tion Of all that gallantry and patriotism
claim for the ladies of America Erie

A Heroine of the war.

There is long forgotten story Of the
war behind the bill introduced by Con-
gresham Wade to pay Mrs. Sarah L.
Everson $4,000. One day in December,
1861, Jeff ThOmpsOn's band of guerrilas
swoOped down upon the river town of
Commerce in southwest Missouri, and
set a trap. The anticipated game was
the City of Alton, carrying agreat guam
tity Of stores, large mails and more than
all else, the commander Of the Missis-
sippi gunbOat fleet and other federal Off
GERS of high rank. All the men of Com
merce were made prisoners and taken
back into the forest. Behind the long
wood piles on the landing the guerrilas
concealed themselves. They knew the
City Of Alton would touch there for fuel
and their plan was to remain in hiding
until the boat was fast, and then capture
her and all on board with one grand
charge. That no warning might be con-
veyed by the deserted appearance Of the
pIdCc, TIC WOnCu duu ChliuICu WCiC Jul
lected in little groups, but were forbid
den, with threats Of instant death, to give
any warning.
The City Of Alton came as the guerri-
las had anticipated, and swung in to
make the landing. The guerrilas smiled,
clutched their weapons, and held their
breaths for the signal. Suddedly Mrs.
Eyerson sprang out Of the midst Of the
other women, and ran to the edge of the
river screaming at the top Of her voice
and waving her arms. There was a
changing Of bells. The steamboats,
wheels reversed with all the power Of
the engines. The guerrilas rose to their
feet, sent a volley after the receding
prize, and with many curses took their
departure. Mrs. EversOn is now resi-
dent of Springfield, Mo, The story of her
herOism was in all the papers at the time
but that was the only recognition the
brave woman received. Congressman
Wade thinks she should have something
substantial from the republic. Hence
the bill.

Editing a Paper.

Editing paper is pleasant business
if you like it.
If it contains much political matter
people won't have it.
If the type is large it don't contain
much reading matter.
If I'VE publish telegraph reports people
say they are nothing but lies.
If we omit them we have no enter
prise, or omit them for political rea-
sons.
If we have a. few jokes folks say we are
nothing but rattleheads.
II we omit jokes folks say we are moth
ing but fossils.
If we publish original matter they
damn US for not giving selection.
II we give selections people say we are
lazy for not writing more and giving
them what they have not read in some
other paper.
II we give complimentary notice we
are consured for being partial.
II we don't all hands say we are great
hog.
II we insert an article which pleasee
the ladies the men become jealous, and
vice versa.
II we attend church they say it is for
effect.
II we remain in our Office attending to
our business, folks say we are too proud
to mingle with other fellows.

She Out-hefted Him.

The Thomas county Cat thus wauls
concerning the first marriage ceremony
performed in Thomas county. 1t is a
bad precedent to set for a Nebrasks
man to come over into Kansas and
carry off either a brunette, blonde or
mixed bride, but when the Nebraska
groom only weighs 40 younds and
the Kansas bride weighs 200 it is such
an unfair exchange as to become posi-
tive robbery, and the Thomas county
folks should get out an injunction, and
stop all such monkeying, as they did
on Sheridan county to stop school
land selling at Kenneth. -Atwood
Citizen.
Hushl Be still. A letter from the
brise groom states that he will be
back in the spring with the pansies.
He also writes that he likes his wife
better than he thought he would.

blowing and cultivation be productive,
as no better soil can be found any
where than in this part OF tie state.
About all the land in Thomas county
has been located by homesteaders, who
are preparing to put in crops in the
spring, every foot Of which can be
cultivated as this county is neither
bluffy or rocky.
Colby, the county seat, is a nice
town of about four hundred inhabi-
tants, having about one hundred dwell
ings and business houses, number
of which are two stories high, and are
substantially built. Business Of va

The Kansas Zephyr.

There is nothing more remarkable
than Kansas zephyrs. No difference
what the time Of year, whether sum-
mer or winter, they are peculiar. In
summer they leave ear marks on their
trail the same rs in autumn, winter or
spring. 1t may be a chimney takes a
tumble, or a building is blown to
pieces, but they would not be Kansas
zephyrs without these little events
In winter owing to their duration
and fierceness, they have been rudely
denominated :'blizzards." This name,
we think, originated in Dakota, where
hey are to be found roaming the
bro I'd prairies in their native glory
natural and froquented frolic grounds
for them during the winter season.
Even in Kansas majority of the
people entertain a sort of dread of
hese 'blizzards. They are not alto
gether rare.
They seem to watch the coal pile
from afar. and as the last hodfuu dis
apears, make tracks for the imme-
di te neie bib )lhod.
Neither have they adopted the
modern method of making calls. 1t
would be in order for city folks to
denounce them as '.horrid back woods
men," without the refined taste
and polish of educated folks. III
they come in time for tea, they are
apt to be with us at dinner
and tea again, and SO on for three days
at least To think of '.blutfing them
Off at the end of an hour would be
a piece of absurdity.
Hardly ever" do we find them in
the best of passion On the contrary
they take things cool Who of orr
readers that have been in Kansas
blizzard" will not corroborate the
statement that they take things cool |
If our eastern readers have an idea |
what it is to sh:ver-fairly shake
beneath Il great Overcoat, arctics and |
seal skin cap, they will know what we
mean when we say these '.blizzards"
are notorious for taking it cool. If i
the thermometer should register fifty |
degrees above, just before one of
these fellows came along, it would not
be uncommon for it to stand twehty-
five degrees below zero ere he depart
ed for warmer zones.
But this all csmes in being a ''sliz-
gard" Nothing short of it will make
half the contrast. And what is more.
you must be in Kansas to enjoy it.
California has its earthquakes, the
east its destructive floods and con
tagion, bat Kansas has its ''blizzards "
And reader. although you may not
have been in a Kansas ''blizzard." YOU
may have observed the wide spread
destruction of an earthquake or food.

ter; so was Joanna Baltic; so was Mary

Who will doubt that such women as
Florence Nithingale, Emily Faithful, and
Clara Barton, single women though they
be, have done and are doing double
duty for humanity?
Some of the most eminent women of
every civilized land are found in the pur-
suit of science, literature, art, or benevo-
lence, and are welded only to their chos-
en- calling. The tenderest ministratlons
to sick and suffering strangers IN our
hospitals and on our battlefields come
from the hands of the sisterhood. The
good there is in the old maid commands
our love and respect; for the sorrows
which may have been hers she deserves
our sympathy, and common justice,
which is the common right, requires that
we render unto Caesar the things that are
Caesars.
