Susannah Buhoup, wife of Rev. J.
l.. Buhoup, who lives fourteen miles
southwest of Emporia, died at her
home March IA, 1888. Mrs. Buhoup
was born March %, 1928, in Washing
ton county, Pennsylvania. Her maiden
name was Andrews. She was married
to Rev. j. L. Buhoup in 1912. In 1871
they moved to Atchison county, Kan
sas, and in 1888 moved to Lyon coun-
ty, Kansas, the home at which she
died. When 18 years of age she was
converted in the Smithfield Street
Methodist Episcopal Church. There
and then she united with the church,
and during all the remainder of
her. life she was quiet,
consistent and honored member of the
same. This is the first break death has
wrought in the family circle Five
children remain as heirs of earth's
richest legacy, the memory of a
mothers faithful Christian life. The
bereaved husband finds that the gospel
he has preached to others, is now his
sweetest so1ace. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. J. w. Walker,
pastor of the Grace NJ. E. Church, En-
.poria. The text employed-which also
had been selected by Mrs. Buhoup her
self, was: Eye hath not seen nor ear
heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God
hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by
his spirit" l Cor. 2, 8, 10.

''Bent Murdoch says the settling of

and the settling of the Indian territory
will be the making of Kansas. The
first proposition is true at least
Well, if the settling of the Indian ter
ritory is to make Kansas like Missouri
no one but an enemy of Kansas would
favor it. Why, outside of the counties
bordering Kansas, there is not as much
enterprise in the whole state as there
is in one county in Kansas. Remove
the Missouri border line a couple OF
miles east and the state would never be
heard of. Even now nine-tenths OF

ONE marked feature of the railroad
engineers strike was the peculiarly or
DERBY action of the strikers. Up to the
very moment of suspension of work the
business of the company was vigilant-
ly prosecuted by the men who were
waiting for the order to stop, and at
that moment the engines were careful
ly turned into the round houses by the
engineers who had charge of them.
Not threat was heard from the ranks
ofthe strikers, and not one of them inter-
fered with any of the engineers who
took their places. This is feature of
the strike that is very creditable to the
brotherhood.

THE striking employees of the Read
ing railroad were formally notified a
few days ago that the contest was off
and that they were at liberty to resume
work. But both they and the leaders
who graciously extended them this
permission knew that the abandoned
positions had been filled for several
weeks past, and that work for them
was no longer to be obtained on that
road. at the end of two months
struggle, for which there was not the
slightest cause, the strikers find them
selves impoverished and out of employ
ment. The work which is necessary at
once to keep them from becoming a
public charge must be sought else
where. The leaders gained fleeing

gained nothing except experience. If
this experience should prompt them to
vigorously eXpel and repudiate their

MAYOR HEWITT of New York re-
fused to run up the green flag of Ire
land on st. Patrick's day beside the
stars and stripes. This is in marked
contrast with the action of Mayor
O'Brien of Boston, who not only hung
out the green flag, but closed the pub
lie library on the 18th of March. 1t
seems to us that all good American
citizens should commend the action of
Mayor Hewitt and denounce that of
O'Brien. 1t would be a wise measure
for congress to pass law forbidding
the hosting of any flag but the good
old stars and stripes on any building
belonging to or used by the govern
ment for any purpose, and also forbid
ding any but the United States flag to
be carried in any public parade or pro-
cession. People who are not satisfied
to walk under the stars and stripes
alone have no business living and
making a home under its protecting
folds, be they Irish, Dutch. English or
any other nationality. Another ma
tiOnal law should prohibit mayors or
councils of cities from declaring St.
Patrick's, or any other but an Ameri-
can day, legal holiday.
