THE Emporia Democrat volunteers
the information that Col. Hollowell has
begun proceedings in the district court
at Wichita to establish and foreclose
a lien against property, ETC., and says
that this is the first attempt of the
state to make the property in which a
joint is carried on liable for the fine as
sessed when conviction takes place I'M
der the Murray law. On that point
there is nothing new in the Murray
law. 1t was provision of the law of
1881. But Col. Hollowell was not the
first in the field by any means. An ac-
ton of that kind was tried in Potta-
watomie county in April in 1884 and
the decision of the supreme court is re-
ported in go Kansas, 1877. Buck s.
Feighan having convicted Lewis Macke
Of the illegal sale of Intoxicating liquor
in the Pfefferle building, lot 100 Com
mercial street in this city, brought suit
February "a, 1885, against Louisa r.
Pfetferle and her husband to have the
fine against Macke decreed to be a lien
on that property, and recovered judy
ment to that effect January 80, 1886,
which judgment is of record in our dis
trict court journal Il, !" page 4sI. That
case was taken to the supreme court
and recently confirmed, and the opin-
ion of the supreme court is on file with

no KILL THE OHINOH BUG

An experienced agriculturist informs
us that the chinch bug, which has be-
gun its ravages in oat and wheat fields,
can be readily exterminated and the
crops brought through in splendid con-
dition by the use of cheap grade of
salt, sold at about seventy-five cents
per barrel, as follows: Scatter the salt
through the oat, wheat or other grain
fields, corn included, at the rate of a
bushel per acre, with as even !istribu-
ton as possible, 50 that all the gfuuud
will get its proportion. The effect on
the crop win be to invigorate it and
make it yield more heavily than other
wise. The effect on the chinch bug
will be that after the first shower
the bugs will disappear from
that field and trouble its scrop no
more. With the inexhaustible beds of
salt now being mined at Hutchinson
and discovered at other places in Kan
sas, it seems as if the chinch bug rem
edy had been stored for ages under the
soil of this state, awaiting the season
when its utility as an insect destroyer
would be brought to bear, and there is
time enough left this season for this
remedy to be tried by every farmer
who has crop of grain to save. The
experiment can be made in any field
where the chinch bug is at work, by
scattering salt over few rods of sur
face and then sprinkling the ground
If the chinch bug leaves that ground it
is reasonable to infer that it would
leave field Of any size after the first
rain following the salt treatment. The
question is a very serious one, and
twenty-five cents worth of salt to the
acre will be well invested if the result
is good crop of grain instead of
chiDch bugs. But there is no time to
lose in trying this remedy.

ONE of the highest compliments ever
paid to Roscoe Conkling came from one
whose bitterest enemy he was; and
that not after his death when praise
was in everybody's mouth, but while
he was still in the flush of his pride
and strength. In his Twenty Years
in Congress- the Hon. James G. Blaine
says of Mr.. Conkling: 1.-The ablest
and most brilliant man of the New
York delegation was Roscoe Conkling'
He had been elected to the preceding
Congress when but twenty-nine years
of age, and had exhibited an eloquence
and readiness in detail that at once
placed him in the front rank. His
command of language was remarkable
In af1uent and exuberant diction, Mr.
Conkline was never surpassed in either
branch of Congress, unless perhaps by
Rufus Choate.o

a new case was before the district
court last Saturday, probably the first
of the kind in the state. 1t was an APP
peal from the probate court, asking the
district court to grant a permit to sell
alcoholic liquors under the Murray
law. The appellant is F. Haussler. He
presented petition some months ago
asking for permit and the permit was
refused. The ground taken by thelow-
er court was that appellant was con-
victed of selling intoxicating liquors
contrary to law. while doing business
at his present location. Haussler was
sworn and testified that he was a reg
istered pharmacist produced certifi-
cate), was carrying on general drug
business, had stock amounting at
present to 81 ECO; had been in the bust
ness since April, 1885; lived in EN-
poria nineteen years; was convicted of
illegally selling liquors; am putting
up prescriptions. Here he named
physicians for whom he compounded
prescriptions. After the argument the
jadge dismissed the appeal, holding
that it was discretionary with the pro-
bate judge and the abuse of this power
should not be questioned, unless in ex-
IRENE cases, and he also held that the
evidence was not sufficient tojustify
an order to grant a permit.
Among the other cases this morning
was an argument on the demurrer in
the case OF F. E. Smith Vs. s. NJ Bell,
the defendant claiming that the de-
scription in the mortgage in question
did not describe any real estate. De-
murrer was overrIled, the judge hold
ing that the mortgage really did de-
scribe something. Judgment as prayed

THE democratic papers are now pro-
pounding the question: what good
did the debate between ingalls, and
voorhees, do?'' From a democratic
standpoint this is assuredly conun-
drum. But from republican view it
is easily answered. 1t has served to
open the eyes of lots of union people
who had been voting with the copper
heads. If there was any one class OF
people more contemplate than another
during the war it was the cowardly
stay-at-home sympathizers with rebel
lion, commonly dubbed a copper
head" And Voorhees, was one of the
most virulent, as all who lived through
those days have no trouble in remem-

CONSTELLATION
Inherited
Diseases.

In the realm OF disease the facts Of In
heritance are most numerous and are daily
accommodating. Here, alas, they become ter
efble, fatefuI and overwhelming. No fact Of
nature is moro pregnant with awful mean.
Ing than the fact of the inheritance OF
disease. 1t meets the physician on his daily
rounds, paraIyzing his art and nlIing him
with dismay. The legend OF the ancient
Greeks pictures the Furies as pursuing
families from generation to generation,
rendering them desolate. The Furies still
ply their work OF terror and death, but they
are not now clothed in the gArb Of supersti-
tion, but appear in the more Ineligible but
no less awful form of hereditary disease.
Modern science, which has illuminated SO
many dark corners OF nature, has shed .
new Light on the ominous words of tho
Scriptures, 1.-THE sins OF the fathers shall be
visited upon the children unto the third and
fourth generation" Instances OF hereditary
disease abound. Fifty per cent. OF cases OF
consumption, that fearful destroyer OF fanni-
lies, OF cancer and scrofula, run in families
through Inheritance. Insanity Is hereditary
in q marked degree, but fortunately, like
many other hereditary diseases, tends to
wear itself out, the stock becoming extinct.
4 distinguished scientist truly says: "No
organ or texture OF the body is exempt from
the chance of being the subject OF hereditary
disease" Probably more chronic diseases,
which permanently modify the structure
and functions of the body, are more or less
liable to be inherited. The important and
far-reaching practical deductions from such
facts-AIecting powerfully the happiness
of individuals and families and the collective
welfare OF the nation-are obvious to refiec-
ting minds, and the best means for prevent
ing or curing these diseases Is q subject of
intense interest to ali. Fortunately nature
has provided a remedy, which experience
has attested a. infaIlIole, and the remedy is

vegetable compound-nRture's antidote for
