A Handsome RndoTss1nent.

1t will be remembered that a few
weeks ago an unqualified endorsement
of the skill of ouf esteemed citizen, w.
H. Long, blacksmith, ITO East Fifth
avenue, as a repairer of pIows was
published in this paper, from the
celebrated manufacturers of plows.
Parlin & Orendorf of Canton, Illinois.
We now publish similar endorsement
from equally celebrated firm, Deere,
Mansur & Co., Of the John Deere plow
works. It is as follows:
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March S, 1885,
We find that there is nothing that
inSureS the steady running and salts
factory working of q plOw but the
proper setting of the share, with the
required bottom suck, and this can
only be done by blacksmith who has
large experience in work of this kind.
Our warranty provides that we will
not be responsible for the run of q pIow
after the share has been in any other
fire than our own, for the reason that
the large majority of smiths do not
properly reset the shares, and often
take the original temper out of them
without properly rehardening them.
From what we know and have heard
OF Mr.. w. III. Long of Emporia. Kan
eas, we think we can cheerfuliy rec
emmend to all farmers who are Access
sable to him, TO have all work of this
kind done at his shop, as he seems to
be very Thorough in this branch of his
work. Respectfully,
DEERE, MANSUR g Co.

The committee from headquarters of
the department of Kansas G. A. R.
have secured quarters at Columbus for
the annual encampment in September
next. The national and all the depart
ment headquarters will be located in
the state house, the state auditors
Office being allotted to Kansas. Camps
are being arranged for all who desire,
and so located as to be within at most
a couple of blocks from the railroads,
30 as to be easy of access. But it is cal
cuiated that the larger portion of the
guests will be taken care of and housed
by the citizens, who have universally
announced their intention of throwing
open their doors. filling their parl0rs
and other rooms with eouches, and
giving sleeping quarters to ali such as
apply. All in all, the arrangements
made and making at the capital of
Ohio are such as insure not only the
largest and best national encampment
ever held. but also the best entertain-
ment at least cost of cash.

GOV. MARTIN is quite enthusiastic
over prohibition in Kansas. Heclaims
degree Of general prosperity far sur
passing anything before known in that
state, dependent on the prohibitory
laws. '.In 1880 only e,S6s, 900 acres
were planted In crops, but in 1887 the
area planted exceeded 1900 900. In
1880 the value Of farm crops was 1884,
25l 600, but in 1885 the value was 1894,
OO.O00." He adds that towns and
cities that languished, or were at
Stand-still, after the abolition OF the
saloon at once revived, and began to
develop. This, no doubt, demonstrates
the value of morals to the material
prosperity Of q community, A saloon
never contributed to any feature of
civilization and enlightenment But it
is very certain that the Kansas boom
has not been owing wholly to prohibit
ton, while it is equally certain that
prohibition has not injured the mate
rial prosperity of the state. These are
two facts that must be kept together.

THE cause of prob ibition seems to be
holding its own in California, despite
the vast annual output Of vinous prod
ucts in that state. The advocates of
that political faith held their state con-
vention at San Francisco this week, be-
ginning on Wednesday. Ex-Governor
st. John Of Kansas, General BidwelI,
an ex-wlne dealer, and other apostles
of the Chadband type were present and
lent to the occasion the light of their
unctuous smiles. The convention, OF
course, was opened with prayer, but,
wonderful to relate, the session came
to close mid the din of free fight, in
which the female delegates took an ac-
tive hand. A lively fusillade OF ep-
thets continued for two hours, during
which time men leaped upon the Ia
bles, canes were brandished, and gem
eral movement prevailed for the sup
preston Of harmony. Therow was not
strictly creditable to the great moral
reformers engaged In it, but it win not

THE state board of health of Illinois
is undertaking to revoke the license of
a physician for having advertised in
the newspapers. But the court has
decided that the board has no such
power. If it has power any way APP
proximating such autocracy it should
be deprived of it. Every man has an
inherent right to employ any one he
chooses in cases of illness, and the
physician has right quite as inherent
to announce his profession and make
himself known to the people. There is
atleast some ignorance, if not touch
of quackery, in all men. just law has
nothing to do with such quackery I'M
less it proves injurious to patients.
In that case let the law work with
equity, and punish those who do not
advertise as well as those who do.

merous friends regret the loss they have
sustained by the departure, but wish
that prosperity, happiness and the
blessings of God may accompany them
throughout their new journey of life.
The following is a list of the presents

CINCINNATI Enouirer: Woman

CINCINNATI Enquirer: Woman is
coming to the front everywhere. In
the world of literature and art she
holds her own with man, while in the
theatrical field she really has the best
Of it. And now she is working her way
up in politics. It's tough field, but
she is getting there all the same, and
in grand style. In New York she is be-
ing pushed into school boards, and in
Kansas there is no Office any too good
for her. In one town, Oskaloosa, a
woman was elected mayor on Mondays
election, and the whole city council is
made up Of women. It's only ques-
ton of time when woman will run
for governor of that state. Surely the
day of woman's power is approaching.

THE Hutchinson News says: sit is
said that pretty girls are no longer in
demand as stenOgraphers. The wives
of business men have taste for home
ly women in their husbands offices. -
This may be the case out there. But in
Emporia the wives are so good looking
themselves that they do not fear pretty
stenographers. At least, we judge so
from the number of the latter in our
city. There may be another reason
however.

The best and rKpest fruit is preferred

victor gains the crown first.
Mrs. a. NJ. Aver ill, wife of Rev. a.
NJ. Averill, depar ted this life and
gained her entrance to the Mansions

(nee Miss Rebecca FIJI Hey Mortonl was
born July 23rd, 1920, and died March
oath, 1888, being six ty-seVen years,
eight months and one day old. The
place of her birth was P 1ymouth Rock,
Massachusetts. She " as married to
the Rev. A. M. Averill il Ine 22nd, 1912,

the mother of five living children, two
Of whom died in infancy; one OF them,
a son, died at the age of sen zen months;
the other the youngest dau ghter, died
in 1868, aged three years, sew en- months;
three children survive her. The eldest
son is Mr.. A. NJ. Averill, W, of st.
Walter l. Averill, Of New York City;
the youngest living daughter, Carrie
Averill, the wife of Col. G. q. Suaugh-
ter, of Dallas. Texas. Mrs. Averill
was educated in the principles o t the
Puritans and brought up in the Con-
gregational church, and was conve rted
at very early age. She subsequently
made the acquaintance of her SurE1V-
ing husband and was by him baptized
and has ever since remained a membeE
of the Baptist church. Her views OF
religion were strongly evangelical and
experimental; and although not sec
tartan in her feelings, yet on the whole,
the Baptist doctrines and practices ac-
corded with her views more than those
of any other denomination. AS wife
and a companion, she rendered her
husband great assistance, while prose
cutting his studies, preparatory to the
Christian ministry, both by her indus
try and by her means. During his
work as pastor, many churches, both in
the east and in the west, can testify to
her great efficiency in every depart
ment of church work to which her
position summoned her. AS mother,
