Appeal TO The Temperance Voters OF Kan
Topeka, KAN, July 6.-I deem it
my duty as president of the Kansas
State Temperance Union to make an
appeal to the voters of the State in be-
half of the enforcement of the prohibi-
tory law. In nine-tenths of the coun.
ties in the State the law is reasonably
we'll enforced. In all the counties there
is such enforcement as closes the open
saloon. But in few counties there
are ':joints" and other places where
intoxicating liquors can be obtained
contrary to law. 1t is matter of the
highest congratulation that so much
has been done, and that it has been
demonstrated in many cities and coun-
ties that the law can be enforced as
fully and completely as any other
criminal law. Wherever there is any
lack of enforcement the fault is princi-
pally with the people, and .secondarily
with the officers elected by them. A nd
the object of this appeal is to call the
attention of the voters of the State to
the importance of their action at this
particular crisis. County conventions
are soon to be held in many of the
counties for the nomination of the
candidates for the respective offices of
the county. It is exceedingly desirable
that no man shall be nominated for
any office who is unfavOrable to en-.
forcement, but I call special attention
to the offices of county attorney, pro-
bate Judge and sheriff. These with a
judge on the bench who regards his
oath of office can fully enforce the law
in any county. The place to secure
such candidates is at the primaries and
in the conventions. What right has
man to complain Of the action or nom
action Of the county attorney when he
has taken no part In the selection of
such a candidate for the office? do
not believe there Is a county in the
State in which the friends of the pro-
hibitory law can not dictate the nomi-
nations in the republican party.
Active work just now will save vain
regrets and serious losses hereafter. 1t
is sad commentary, but nevertheless
true, that there are men now seeking
office in Kansas who If elected do not
intend to respect the. obligations of
duty solemnized with an oath, nor the
will of the majority of the people.
There are men now holding office in
the State whose souls are reeking with
perjury, who have stultified them
selves and betrayed public trust
''who knew their duty but did it not"
If these or their like are to be continu-
ed in Office, then the primary respon-
sibility falls on the voters. Now lie the
time to administer the remedy. I call
upon the delegates who are soon to a.. |
semble in the Republican State Con-
vention lit is too late to appeal to the
convention) to be sure 10 |
nominate man for attorney general
who believes in the prohibitory law
and its enforcement, who will regard
his oath and the rights of the people,
and who has both ability and energy |
to discharge his duty. In the admin
of law this has become most
officer.
I respectfully ask every newspaper
in the State to publish this appeal.

quality and quantity. The preparation of
the land begins about Sept. 5, and consists
in blowing, narrowing, fertilizing abund-
antly with ashes and detritus. and laying
off into squares to facilitate irrigation.
After sowing, the fields are irrigated three
times, at intervals of fifteen days. After
that there is only one more irrigation.
about the middle of the winter. In the
spring irrigation takes place on March 20,
after which the land is repeatedly har,

parasitic weeds. The plants are thinned

Modern Costumes in Greece.

And this hideously dressed person is

people around him. whose national dress
gives them that dignity of mien and of
manner which always accompanies a rich
costume.
So it is with the women. About Mount

One of the very queerest ways of earn
ing a living among the endless eccentrici
ties of ingenious necessity In this city is
tina of a woman who lives in a little fat
on Nineteenth street, and who writes
obituary poetry, thereby avoiding the
necessity Of an obituary for her own tomb
stone. She is a genial person on ordinary
occasions and possesses a notable facility
for rhymes. When she is interviewing
customers this geniality subsidies into a
delicate and dramatic sympathy which is
very soothing to the bereaxed-She says
Of herself: you see, I am not a poet.

1t Is difficult TO realize what a modern
Invention the table fork Is. Queen Eliza
beth never heard of one. She had, it is
true, a few dainty forks, perchance with
crystal handles, for eating preserved fruit
at dessert. But long after her time dinner
forks were unknown in England Thu
very earliest now to be found belong t
the same noblemnn whose hour glass salt
has been already spoken of. and these are
not older than the middle of the reign OF
Charles II. The few early forks of the
reign of George | are three pronged. ana
but few OF our neighbors can show us
four pronged forks much before the reign
Of George III. from which time their
fashion has remained unaltered to the
present day. except for their handles,
which ave followed the fashions OF
spoons. finishing up with the familiar
fiddle pattern" of Nineteenth century
use.
Before the days OF forks the ever and
basin, which have now generally disap.
peared, were much in request after every
course; whereas now the basin alone. with
a little rose water. makes its appearance
at civic feasts after dinner. as a matter
of fashion rather han necessity. Fou1

Composite photography is the most

The idea of twenty or thirty faces being

plain Anglo-Saxon nonsense. One might
