MILK is one of the easiest means of
spreading scarlet fever. The Chicago
Sanitary News reports the particulars
of cases of scarlet fever in the children
of four families living in the vicinity
of Parkside and on Greenwood avenue,
in Hyde Park. These families were
served by the same milkman and dur
ing the same period of time. 1t seems
that the family with which this milk
man lived had the scarlet fever, and
that in November the milkman's baby
was very i'll and had acute inflamma-
ton of the kidneys. No fever card
was put up on the house, nor did the
milkman stop delivering milk. Chill
dren in four different families whom
this man served with milk were at
tackled at about the same time, and at
the same time that the disease pre-
vailed in the family with which the
milkman lived

THE article we published a few days
ago, in which we attempted to prove
that home papers were the cheapest
and best mediums for home and boom
advertising, is likely to do good and
bear fruit in other cities, if not in En-
poria. We notice extracts from it in a
great many of our exchanges. Like
Sylvester's attempt at cOuplet, there
may not be much poetry in the matter,
yet there is lots OF truth, and if our
board of trade is in earnest about at
tracing attention to our city, the
means are at hand and the cost not
near as much as by any other system
so far tried. The result is not a mat
ter of theory. 1t has been tried, and
has always succeeded. Less money
spent in getting ur boom excursions,
and more spent in home printers ink,
with an assisting hand held out to all
such enterprises as the canning facto-
ry, and Emporia will boom herself.

The Lemont Creamery building is

A creamery can be started on cap

mistake to suppose that capital of
81 200 to S., 900 is necessary, and that
amount of money need never be invest

Tor which the writers fall into from a
too hasty glance at his name, which

what's more, he don't want it changed.
These perfumed illusions will, there

will not encourage this Irritation for

st has quietly leaked out that Gov

ouSly object to be returned to the
United States senate in place of Plumb,
and that coalition between our senior
senator and the governor has been
formed to the attainment of this end.
No paper in Kansas has been as fulsom
of Ingalls, lately as the Champion.
The Champion would again state, as
it has several times before, that Gov
ernOr Martin has no political aspira-
tiOns to be gratitied; that he has no
ambition to succeed Senator Plumb;
that no coalition between Senator In
gals and Governor Martin has been
formed for the end named in the above
paragraph, or for any other; that no hui
man being has any authority or reason
| to make statement like the above
since it is utterly groundleSs in every
particular. Governor Martins politi-
cal aspirations have been amply graft

present term as governor of Kansas, he
will be quite CONTEXT to retire from the
field and to devote himself exclusively

AN Arkansas woman gives Forest
and Stream this bit of insite into life
in an ague country: When we lived on
Bull creek we got our drinking water
from a spring that gushed out of the
creek bank. We had the clills that fall
and sometimes we had our chills the
same day, and as we lived alone then,it
was lonesome time for us. Anybody
who has had the real old agUe chills
knows how hungry they get on well
days-hungry for something new to
eat. One Sunday morning l took the
| water bucket and started for the
spring. When got to the creek bank
l saw a green-headed duck sailing
about. l forgot that it was Sunday.
and, dropping the bucket. went back
to the house for my shotgun. When
| got back my duck was still there.
There was also big fox
squirrel barking at Inc from stub on
the other side of the creek. l thought
"a squirrel will be better than duck
to make us some broth;'' so L crossed
over on log, soaring away the duck
as | went. The squirrel was rather
shy and kept lodging around the
stub. At length 1 got behind little
bush and threw a sod oyer into the
brush beyond the stub. The squirrel
lodged around on my side and in
another minute he was my meat.
picked him up, and, recrOssing the
log, filled my bucket with water anC
went to the house. There found Mr.
Burns, one of our neighbors. As
dropped the squirrel on the floor, Mr.
Burns said, ''Well, won't tell of it
if you did shoot it on Sunday" No
till then did / remember the day anC
realize that l had laid myself liable t.
the law. However, it was too late Il

silk Industry.

Hon. J. II. Morse of Peabody has re-
signed as a member of the board of
silk commissioners, and Col. J. H. G.
Brewer, member of Peabody, has been
appointed his successor. S13. 476.28 has
been expended during the life of the
station. They have sold out of the
products to a New York firm 179
pounds and so ounces of silk, realizing
S966.6S. The retiring commissioner in
his report speaks with much confidence
as to the success of the plant and pre-
diets that this work is bound to be a
potent factor in the development of
the state. He says further: Il deem
it proper to add that not only in this
state but all over the United States
the establishment of this station
has awakened deep interest in this
industry, and the interest is steadily
increasing. The people of our own
state are now engaging in the raising
of cocoons to a wonderful extent, as is
evidenced by the almost innumerable
applications that are now being re-
ceived for information on the subject,
and believe that during this coming
spring there will not be county in the
state but will furnish its crop, be it
greater or less, of cocoons. At the end
of this years work / expect the board
will make full report, and more ex-
plicit and favorable than we can now
submit

Shakespearian can on the question
