Men often talk sneeringly about what q
woman can do. Mrs. Lewis Maryth. of
"icnita, Kan, however taught q saloon
Keeper In that booming city recently
very practical lesson of how a woman
can overcome evil She caused the sa-
iooI'keeper TO be pulled one day for
allowing her husband to squander his
earnings IN the grog-snop for three weeks.
Not satisfied with this, she determined to
break up the saloon keepers business,
which SHE did with vengeance. Arriv-
ing at The saloon about sunrise, hatchet
In hand, she gave the proprietor orders &c
march to certain corner and await fur
fher orders. She being very large
woman and he very small man, the sa-
Ioon-keeper concluded to march. The
woman then began business in earnest.
Nlth her little hatchetn sha demolished
the mirrors, and by stages smashed up
everything breakabls in the place. When
oer practical temperance work was over,
7he ordered tho saloon keeper to march
up Tue street for Il block in front ot her.
ne mrekiy obeyed, and she dismissed him
WIN the admonition never to sell any
more liquor. The temperance lesson
cost the saloon keeper about 81 900, and
will probably save many thousands to the
city homes.

A japanese Bride.

Quite as interesting as the scenery were
the movements of n bride an a groom in
the same car with us. We afterward
learned that he was Nagoya youth who
had gone to Kioto and prospered in brsi-
ness, and had just been down to Nagoay
to marry the young girl chosen by his
parents mud a go-between friend of the
family. He was raw, caliow youth in
appearance, and, spreading his rug on the
cushions, lay down at ha,f-length aud
obliged tho bride to sit bolt upright in
small space. When he did sit up, it was
he who leaned against the brides
shoulder, instead of resting her head
on his shoulder in true wedding journey
style.
For the whole day that we travelled to-
gether it was his comfort and not hers
that was considered. The groom hurried
on board the steamer and into the next
train of cars, and helping himself to the
only chair or seat, looked around curious
ly to see whore she was going to sit. The
bride smiled gweetly all the time, and did
not seem 10 think it at all out of the way
for her to be cushion, or footstool, or bag
gage porter for her lord. She wore dark
stiped silk kimono and an ecru obi, bro
caded with pine needles in black and gold.
The Japanese reverse our custome in
travelling, and wear their best clothes
when on journey, in order, they say.
chat their station may be known and
proper attention paid them. The brides
attention was mnch occupied with her
new gold ring, the wedding ring being
foreign fashion that they have taken up
with enthusiasm. The gold band on the
finger is fast replacing the shaved eye
brCws and blackened teeth that used to
distinguish the married women; but they
adhere to the change in hair dressing,
aud after marriage red is polonger worn.
The gay red Grape pettiooats, the red folds
in the neck of the kimono, and the bits
of red Grape tied in the hair, disappear
on the wedding day, and the japanese
have the bitter maxim: "Love flies with
the red petticoat."

which occurred last night, TOO late to be
telegraphed. 1t was wateispous and
tho valley was swept by mighty tidal
wave. The lose to property Is fearful,
wAile the sacrifice of human life Is, under
the circumstances, appalling. Swift and
terrible was the visitation. Without
warning, people were awakened from
slumber TO find theu selves threatened
with destruction by mad waves. Strange
to relate few people were conscious OF
the horrible disaster till they ayoke 70
look upon the desolate scenes next morn
ing and dragged the drowned from drifts.
The storm struck the town at IL o'clock
at night FROM Il northwesterly direction.
1t was accom- panied by stiff, cool winds
though not strong enough to produce
damage.
RAIN FELL IN TORRENTS
from IL to O'Clock withou. intermission
or cessation. Indeed, hose who were up
and witnessed the awful scene describe 1T
as en-. never before seen by
them. The vivid flashes of lightning
then displayed, IA il were, great
sheets of falling water. AT the close OF
the storm q great and ominous sound,
mingled with the shouts of the people,
and cries of distress, went up from the
valley, and such citizsns rs were in the
vicinity of the creek and ravines went
forth to render assistance. The flood on
Central avenue, the principal thorough
fare, was an angry river, whose rushing
tide swept every thing movable on its
bosom. For over half an hour the avenue
was transformed into q torrent 80 yards

came down on the tide, and were left
strewn on the sidewalks.

The Sioux treaty commissioners are
still hard at work trying TO convince the
Indians that it will be better TO sign the
treaty, dispose of part of their big reser-
va.ion to the government and pnt the
balance to some practical use by divid-
ing it among the members nf the tribe,
leaving each to do rs white land owners
do-get living off his own section or
starve. There is no doubt that the In
iians would appear better if they could
be induced to do this. But Indians are
both lazy and uspicious, They do not
want to work for living if they cgA help
it, and they fear the new treaty is a trap
to mpel them to work or starye. The
prospect that the treaty will be accepted
is, therefore, very remote. This is to be
regretted, bat it can't be helped. The
Sioux indians have been assigned their
big reservation by treaty, and If they
choose to keep it they certainly have a
right to do so.

FREE WHISKY.

The much newspaper talk about
" free whisky" is becoming tiresome,
because in the sense it is used it is
meaningless. No respectable political
party in this state is in favor Of free
whisky. As much as many of the
Democrats like whisky, the party can
not be charged with endorsing free
whisky. To call resolution favoring
or allowing the repeal of the internal
revenue laws declaration in favor of
free whisky is simply absurd. In the
early stages of the temperance reform
a half century ago the most distin-
guished lecturers insisted that the
United States internal revenue laws
ought to be repealed. because the ex-
penses of carrying on this professedly
christian government should not be
derived from the manufacture and sale
of distilled liquors. 1t is true the pub
lie conscience may have changed as to
the allowable methods for obtaining
funds for the support of the govern
ment, but the moral principle involved
probably remains about the same. The
Republican platform express a readi.
ness, if necessary, to repeal the inter.
nal revenue laws; for this the party
has been unreasonably charged as be.
ing in favor of free whisky. Equally
unreasonable is it to charge Prohibi-
tionists with being COMMITTEES to free
whisky, because of a plank in their
platform declaring in favor of the re-
peal Of the internal revenue laws.
There is enough and to spare where
with to charge the enemies Of the Re-
publican party without resorting to I'm.
fairness. The old adage that call is
fair in politics" is not now generally
accepted. We expect to elect Harrison
and Morton on a fair field and BY hon.
0rable means.

Inherited Diseases.

No fact OF nature Is more pregnant

cancer and scrofula, run in families
through inheritance. Insanity is hered.
1tary in Q marked degree, but, fortu-
nately, like many other hereditary
diseases, tends to wear itself out, the
stock becoming extinct. A distin-
guished scientist truly says: 'No organ
or texture OF the body is exempt from
The chance OF being the subject of
hereditary disease.H Probably more
chronic diseases, which permanently
modify the structure and functions OF
the body, are more or less liable to be in
herited. The important and far-reachinR
practical deductions from such facts
are obvious to rejecting minds, and the
best means for preventing or curing
these diseases is a subject Of intense in

A FEW POINTERS.

Give your team full hour at noon

Keep no farm hands that are unkinG
to children or who abuse cattle.
To conquer hard times and poverty

Corn that is too thick won't ear we'll
nor will the ears develop properly.
The fence corners are the pest holes
of the farm. From them spring nearly
all the seeds and all undesirable grasses
which are scattered over the fields.
Save the wood ashes to use as fertil
izer. 1t is more profitable than to sci
to the soap makers. Wood ashes never
come amiss on the farm or in the
garden.
See that the working teams are made
comfortable at night; a good nights rest
aids very materially to enable them to
keep up with their work, and at the
same time avoid running down too Sc.
verely in flesh.
