Mitchell last evening with cordial enthu-

loved and admired by the American people
for years, she was made to know last eve

have been similarly displayed in Little

"Y ours of recent date at hand and you
give me quite an interesting letter about
Kansas and have been thinking seriously
about moving TO Kansas. thinking there
is better chance to make money there
than in the east, but see here, l got a
letter from friend of mine in ST. Joe,
Missouri, the other day and he enclosed a
circular got out by man named Cal
iC.ay which claimed to give correct
statement of the indebtedness of Kansas
Why, great heavens, John, if that is
true lis given in that circular would not
have farm in Kansas for gift, because
the taxes would soon make 1t cost an
awful price. Please write me Immediately
if the figures are correct or approximately
so, for am anxious to know. Have shown
it TO a number of our friends here and they
are disposed TO give me the laugh about
my talking III favor Of Kansas. Give me
some fBcts to knock them out of time.

A. Little Advice About Too Much Decora-
tion and Display In the Home.
An artist and lecturer who evidently be-
hsves that too little decoration Is better
than too much, gives the following warning
against the common error OF copfounclnS
show and display with taste:
Don't emblaxon your front door with AZ
mored knights and rampant lions, because
they don't belong or grow here. Don't put
your initials or your name over everything
you possess, SO that people who pick up
fork or look at pillow sham viii read
John Smith, my property Its all right
to mark things OF use In some such
way, but not things Of beauty, and.
il you must 90 marx them, make the
letters small and put them on the
back Of the object, not the front The
lady who wears her initials In diamonds on .
brooch Is vulgar. The man who prints his
monogram on his china does q useless thing,
for nobody is going to run away with his
dishes. Don't assert too much az the table.
Don't be too snowy and complex Don't
obtrusive. Put flowers on the table, but
place them loosely or in glass, for If you put
them In china or any other Opaque substance
you conceal half their beauty, namely, their
stems Don't entirely cover your walls with
pictures. and when you have a picture don't
let the shopkeeper kill it with big gold frame
Try bronze, or something that viii relate the
picture to the wall, and not make it stand
out like big shiny spot Of color and gilt

AGRAND SNOW STORM.

The grandest snow storm that ever
visited this section sence its settlement. IN
fact the heaviest snow storm that has
probably fallen in Kansas IL a third or a
century, was that of night before last and
yesterday. Surely nothing like 1t ever
occurred in November. 1t was not only OF
great depth but very heavy, in fact almost
water. 1t will prove a great blessing,
worth half dozen ordinary rain showers
aud will fill the ground full to soaking.
fiji the fountains and start the streams.
The prospects for wheat were never
better The west half Of Sedgwick
county is green with great wheat fields,
every grain seemingly having germInated.
This snow will stool it out so strongly and
thickly that it would take terrible winter
to damage it.
All business was practically suspended
in the city. The wires were down and not
single telegraph message was received or
sent out. Not street car moved IN any
part of the city except on Main, Oak and
Douglas, and on these but for few hours.
No mails had arrived before night.

Later in the day two other jointists,
Charley Detfenbach and William Foster,

This court, too. seems TO have been effect

THE FIRF ALARM.

LAST evening the fire alarm was turned
in from the corner of Main and Second and
the department answered. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty. however, that they
could respond for the storm, the snow and
the mud made the streets in a frightful
condition for the hauling of such loads as
the fire vehicles. The horses of number
? hook and ladder were almost completely
exhausted when they finally reached the
corner After all this trouble and exer-
ton it was discovered that there was no
cause for alarm. Some one had seen the
reflection of the sun in the rear of the
Fletcher block aud believing 1t to be fire,
gave the alarm.

State Secession.

Vermont was admitted into the Union In

New York before the revolution. Acting 10
the spirit Of the revolutionary times, its peo-
pie declared themselves free state in III,
and independent OF New York, and petitioned
congress for admission into the Union. Al
though congress was willing to sustain re-
belion by the colonies against the mother
country, il did not relish its exercise against
one Of the members Of the Confederacy. The
petition Of Vermont was therefore refused
The controversy remained unsettled until it
was arranged by q payment to New York Of

Gen. Benjamin F. Butler recently cd

all nations in all things were exactly on

of equality cannot exist among nations.
and therefore, all theories upon the quss-

Tess st the same time that the president
seems TO Try to get as near being a free

never have been penned. II is not his
fault, bet the laboring mans misfortune.

A President Painted Out.

When Carpenter painted the picture of the
deathbed Of Lincoln the figure of Andrew
Johnson was one of those gathered about the
couch, and this was as it should be, because
he was really there with the members of the
cabinet and others Before the picture was
quite completed, however, the feeling in the
north had grown so bitter against johnson
that the artist feared lest the popularity Of
the picture would be injured by the appear
ance in it of the then chief executive. He.
therefore, erased President Johnson and in
serted Schuyler Colfa1 in his stead, although
Colfax was no. really present at the death Of
Lincoln.
