A WOMiN's DOUBLE LIFE.
A Strange Oase that Eivals the Story Of
"Dr. Jekyli aud Mr.. Hyde"
Nnuton Kan , Rapuhlicap

A Strange Case that Rivals the Story Of
"Dr. Jekyn aud Mr.. Hyde"
Newton (Kan Republican.
The story Of CDR. Jskyll and Mr.. Hyde"
is quite outdone by recent Kansas reve-
lation OF the story Of Miss Clara Blalock,
of Columbus.
Here Is one Miss Clara Blalock, first q
promising schoolgirl, graduating with
honor in the city schools, and prom oted
to be teacher, and here is the said person,
the msster-spirit Of q dark conspiracy
against the lives and property OF the citi-
zsns Of q great stretch ef country.
That women csn become criminals OF
the deepest dye aud inspirers Of dark and
bloody deeds is true enough, the case Of
Patty Cannon, which George Alfred
Townsend has preserved in his curious
novel OF "The Enteiled Hat" is notable,
out with association has come the marks
o. crime on face and form, In man.
ner and conversation the young
woman has rapidly degsrerated into
the bag, but never before has q fresh,
dimpIed ssschool- msrm," preserving the
| while the charm which distinguishes the
young and pretty "lady teacher" from sll
other feminines, BEEN found the compan-
ion and accomplish Of desperate GRIM
inals.
The curious feature in this case is, that
while Glars, the school-teacher, WAS per-
fectly good, Clara, the horse-thief, was
| perfectly bad. The letters penned
by the same fair hand that wrote
copies for the children, are filed
with the foulest and most profsne
words, used with design in sort Of
cipher. No wicked werd ever escaped
the lips Of the school. teacher and the
while her brain must hsve been filled with
the darkest designs and flendieh purposes
When she came to the schoolhous, in the
morning no shadow rested on her brow
from her guilty knowledge that the night
before business house had been burr ed
in the town by her sccomplices and
when she had looked over the
children's examination papers and filed
out her school report, she sat down to
write directions where horses should bs
stolen and whittier in the darkness they
should be ridden; to write pages in
hideous jargon Of the drama that finally
| eliminated In murder.
Isita wonder that this young girl,
| with these terrible secrets within her
heart, betrayed nothing, neither,
BY word or deed or manner,
or even that deterioration produced
by crime on the eoul, eating 1t as rust
does iron. Is 1t not wonderful that, &C.
customed as she WAS to the companion
ship of desperate men, her own brother
among the number, the very innocence
and guiltlessness Of the children did not
weary and fret her, and she did not re-
veal herself to them by some bitter curse
But there WAS none Of this; the gentle
and decorous school teacher went ner IN
nocent ways BY days and ct night went to
her mothers house, with its trap-door in
| the roof, which led to where the great
piles sf stolen goods were hidden.
Surely Kansas can always furnish
something to interest and stsrtle, but
othirg more interesting or startling OF
late. we think, than this robber school,
mistress.

Cheap Potatoes from Europe.

The recent large arrivals of pota
toes upon transatlantic passenger
Steamers, which bring them over prac-
tically as ballast, has occasioned no
little surprise in the shipping world,
as well US among dealers of farm pro
duce. A steamer of the National
Line arrived here few days ago
with 900 barrels Of potatoes, and
upon inquiry it was found that the
freight paid upon them was hardly
enough to cover the expense of put
ting them into the vessel, to say
nothing OF the transportation of them
for 5000; aud, too, they were landed
here at less price than brought from
Newfoundland, which, after payment
of the import duty of 8 cents bush
ell, are cheaper than the home product.
This new departure of bringing pota-
toes from Europe, together with the
Mills Free Trade bill entirely to re-
move the duty from potatoes. is caus-
ing alarm TO everybody excepting the
foreign growers and the foreign ship
owners.
The receipts of potatoes from Great
Britain, since October l last up to
Saturday, were 3,4ll $40 bushels,
against LOG, O47 for the same period q
year ago. There also came 240. 249
bushels from the Continent, against
I9,5I2 bushels q year ago. This
means an attack upon the American
farmer, and more effective one upon
his industry if the duty should be en-.
tirely removed, as he will then
find it useless to cultivate his
Improbable lands, but the Dem
ocratic Congress is determined
to foster the foreign producer
and the foreign capitalist in preference
to the American industries.
G. S. Palmer. produce merchant,
who has studied the question thor
oughly. said on Saturday: "To remove
the present duty of 10 cents per bush
el would undoubtedly so flood the mar
ket with foreign potatoes that Ameri-
can producers could raise them only
at loss to themselves. The present
duty was equitable and it should
not be made higher than it is at pres
ent, because in seasons when the
home crop fails, or is not large enough
to meet the home demands, high
tariff would be an injustice. When
they are put mp in sacks they are cas-
lily handled, and make excellent bal
last. The farmers are much opposed
to having the duty removed. Foreign
potatoes, by being brought as ballast.
can be sold cheaper than the home
product, but once drive our own far
mers out of the market, or remove
the home competition, there will be n
demand for potatoes that will send
up the freight charges. and the pota-
toes will cost the consumer more than
they do now."--N. Y. Tribune.

As the doctor placed his hand into
Victor's bosom he suddenly drew
back "What means this? A NO.
man G woman !" he exclaimed.
X X x x
There is little left for narration.
Victor was Clarence Cleeland's Evan
geline. The bells that ruDg out the
old year rang the death knell to the
sorrow in the heart of the Man in
Black; the peals that rang in the new
year announced the advent ofjoy to
sorrows vacated throne On New
Years day Clarence Cleeland and
Miss Evangeline Afford were mar
ried in the church where the spirit
had moved the Man in Black to re-
pentence. And our good old German
huckster woman-why, the reader
has certainly not forgotten her-was
most profuse in showering congratu-
lations and blessings upon them.
Standing on the threshold of a new
life, and looking back over the broad
road that lead TO the alter of the
golden calf and TO the bitter water of
Morah, Mr. Cleeland has recognized
the truth of the Scriptural remark
that they that will be rich fall into
temptation and snare and into
many hurtful and foolish lusts."
When the particulars of his flight
occur-as they frequently do-he is
wont to say with the wise man of
old: The wicked flee when no man
pursueth." 1t is thus, looking back
ward; it is otherwise, looking for
ward lie has made peace with his
God and is living life of faith and
repentance, and has received the "to-
ken of covenant" When dark rain
clouds of sorrow come over him, he
sees the love Of God shining through
the storm, forming a bow of promise
in all splendor, with these beautiful
words upon the arch; 81 will never
leave thee nor forsake thee"
With the further explanation that
my Victor-Mr. Cleeland's Miss
Evangeline-had received but flesh
wound at the hands of the mob; that
she had adopted male attire and q
false mustGche, wrong as it was, only
to insure protection and gain liveli-
hood among the rough population OF
oildom-the story of the Man in
Black closes.
No: it doesn't.
A happier and prettier home than
theirs can hardly be found. 1t nest
les in one OF the picturesque valleys
among the grand old hills of Pennsyl-
vania, where the willows kiss the
stream, and tie bass play and the
doves nest undisturbcd. Nor would
this story be at all complete, did |
not state that little bright-eyed Wis
itor has arrived at the cottage and
that the chap who has been distribut-
ing oil the vertical pronouns through
these chapters is godfather.

Hot Water for Plants.

1t is q fortunate circumstance that

that is fatal to most of It's minute
enemies. Water heated to the boiling
point, poured copiously over the stem
of an enfeebled peach tree, ard allow
ed to stand about its collar, will often
have the happiest restorative effects,

sumably too much for the fungus
which had infested the vital layers Of

The London florists recommend hot
water, up to las degrees Fab. as o
remedy when plants are sickly, owing
to the soil souring-the acid absorb ID
by the roots acting as q poison. The
usual resort is the troublesome job of

simpler to pour hot water freely
