OUR Reading correspondent, Mr..
w. W. Stratton, in referring to the
late frosts this year, makes the follow
ing observations, which we deem
worthy of editorial reference for the
consideration of our farmer readers:
Again have our uplands proved to
be more valuable than the rich bot
tom lands, to the sturdy yomenry of
Kansas. This spring brings new
ideas to the mind of the farmer. In
the spring of 1880 we had frost, the
seventh day of May, that cut down
corn, potatoes and such other garden
vegetables as are affected by cold
weather. This year, 1888, on May 10,
the frost did its work in the bottom
lands, while on the uplands there is no
complaint. 1t is becoming settled
fact that our uplands are more and
more valuable as one test after an
other is tried, not only for vegetation,
but for fruits of all kinds. One word
more There are fields of corn this
year on the bottom lands where the
| chinch bug is working, almost COM
pelling the farmers to replant, while
on the uplands we hear of no such com
plant even in the same neighbOr-
hoods. Upland farms can be bought
at low prices this year, but it will un'
doubtedly be but few years wheT
they will be priced among the best OF
our farms.

An Assuranoa Of Haalth.

Among the assurances of health af-
forded US by the regular discharge of
the bodily functions, none is more i'm
portant and reliable than that which
regularity of the bowels gives us. If
there is any-even temporary-inter-
ruption of this, the liver and stomach
suffer conformity with the inactive or
gans, and still greater mischief ensues
if relief is not speedily obtained. a
laxative, above all cavil on the score of
mineral composition or violent effect, Is
HoStetter's Stomach Bitters, approved
by the medical profession and most
important item of the family materia
medica of American households. 1t is
botanic, painless in action, and if per-
sisted in, effectual. The stomach and
liver, in no less degree, and no less
promptly and thoroughly than the bow
els, are regulated and toned by it, and
it is an admirable defense against ma
laIial and rheumatic ailments, and a
benign remedy for kidney complaints,
nervousness and debility.

ONE of the remarkable events in the
present national campaign is the action
of he democratic convention in
South ICarolina, refusing to indorse
the Mills free trade bill. In 1882 the
old state undertook, by the action of
its legislature, to nulify the tariff law
then in force and permit foreign goods
to be landed at Charleston without pay
ing any duty at the national custom
house. Old Hickory put quietus on
the notification business, and threat
ened to hang John c. Calhoun, who
was the master spirit in the uprising
against the enforcement of law of
congress. The reasons of the cOnven-
ton for refusing to indorse the free
trade bill now before the house are not
given, but the fact seems to be that the
thing was done.

MAJOR T. j. ANDERSON completed
arrangements with the executive COM
mittee at Chicago for taking sixty
members of the republican flambeau
club and the drum corps to Chicago to
attend the Republican national con-
vention. The committee will pay the
railroad fare of the club and furnish
the fire works. They will pay their
own expenses while in the city. Quar-
tiers have been engaged for them at the
new Hotel Brunswick at 81 per day.
Major Anderson says that he heard
but one name mentioned for the presi-
dency while in Chicago, and that was
Gresham. Illinois seems to be very en-
thusiastic for her adopted son. He
says that Blaine was not regarded
among the republicans at Chicago as
in the race or standing any chance of
receiving the nomination.-Topeka

s.sNTYILn SERVICE RRFoRM.

With national treasury overlooking
with cash to such an extent as to cause
great uneasiness in business and polit-
ical circles, it does not speak well for
the administration or a democratic
house that pensioners are not being
paid in Kansas for want of funds. and
the federal courts all over the country
are being closed for the same reason.
Only couple of days ago the United
States court in Kansas City, Missouri,
was forced to close its doors with full
docket on hand, discharge its list of
jurors, without pay, who were in atten-
dance, and leave important litigation
OF all sorts in state of chaos.
In Fort Smith, Arkansas, on May 81 /,
owing to the absence Of appropriations
for the pay of witnesses, the federaI
court was obliged TO close and over four
hundred witnesses were discharged
without pay. Many of them came from
points several hundred miles distant in
the Indian Territory and were in abso-
lutte poverty. Amongthe cases contin-
ued until the next term of court were
thirty murderers, twenty-six for larce-
ny, forty for illicit whisky selling and
twenty-eight for assault. besides over
thirty minor cases. The district Judge
and the United States marshal sent a
telegram to the attorney general, ask
ing that authority be granted for the
transfer of witnesses, the comptrollel
having recently ruled that they are no
transferable.
Missouri and Arkansas are demo
cratic states, but we doubt much wheth
er the voters who were sent home with
out their fees, will have much lOye 70

Stata vs. Craufnrd

The Crawford case was the subject

to their entering the bedroom and the
noises which she heard from the room
below. Cora's father, E. I. Cox and |
several minor witnesses we're called |
and swore as to different places the |
defendant and Cora were seen to- |
gether.
In the morning H. H. Knox was |
called and he testified that after the
first trial Crawford had admitted or
as he beliYed admitted that he had
sustained improper relations with
the young lady in question.
He would not swear pos
itively what words defendant used, but
it gave him Knox to understand that
the charge was true. The state rested.
To begin the defense, two furniture
men of the city were called, accompan-
led by a woven wire spring, and were
questioned as to the poss ibility of the
beds Speaking or making any sort of
noise under any circumstances. They
agreed that it would be impossible for
such spring to make noise if it was
| fit for use.
Cora Ballard was next called. Her
testimony was to the point and her an
swers came quick and somewhat emo
tional. She denied the charge against
Crawford, said she was engaged to him,
he always treated her in gentlemanly
manner, kissed her sometimes,
sometimes Rugged her; knew that he
had been living with a woman he called
his wife: had little fight with her on
the street; she (Mrs. Crawford) said
Cora had better quit going with the de-

from her, or she Mrs. Crawford) would
shoot her; was in the room with Craw-
ford; it was the only place she had to
receive her friends. The cross-exam-
nation was very lengthy and brought
out some little contradictions, but all
together the testimony was very clear.
, At the conclusion of her testimony the
| defense rested.

in rebuttal, and what was introduced

THE Topeka Capital continuously
charges the Commonwealth with at
lacking and abusing Blaine. Possibly
this is true, but we have failed to see
it, and we read the Commonwealth
every day. According to the Capital,
there is only one man in the republican
party who is qualified to be president,
and his name is Blaine. The Common
wealth, however, differs with this view.
And it is right. The woods are full of
republicans in every way as good and
as strong as j. G. B., and there are
thousands of republicans in this state
who would be very glad to see such a
man as Gresham, for instance, carry
their standard in the coming contest
With such a man as Gresham there
will be an aggressive warfare carried
on by the republicans, while should
Blaine be the nominee it will be as it
was before, and republicans will have
their hands full in defending the fair
fame of man who, whether innocent
or guilty, is not like Caesars wife.
