kENSINGTON PLACE.

One hundred and sixty acres of the most
beautiful suburban residence property to
be found in any city in Kansas. Divided
into five, ten or twenty acre tracts to suit.
And for the first time offered at the very
low price of 5000 per acre until eighty
acres have been sold. This figure is less
than half its value but owing to the fact
that we owe money which must be paid,
we propose to sacrifice this property. If
you desire such property in the beautiful
city of Ashland, come and examine it.
Seeing is believing. Don't take our word
for it but come and see for yourselves.

Queer Religious Sects i'm Russia.

NJ. Tsakni. Russian writer, has
just published an interesting work
upon curious religious sects in Russia
1t appears that IN Il @ Empire there are
no less than 5.O00,O 900 of devout fol-
lovers of insane and cranky notions of
Christianity; and new religions or
sects are constantly springing up in
spite of all the efforts of the Russian
authorities.
One of these sects is called the Run
Always. They fly from their villages
or towns. They believe in returning
to a wild state of existence, destroying
their identity as much rs possible, and
living like savages. Civilization they
regard as the great curse Of humanity.
They also carry on Il sort of brigand-
age, and one of their most sacred du-
ties is to rob churches.
There is another sect, calling them
selves Christs. They adore one an
other. Crazy dancing forms part of
their religious ceremonies.
The Skoptsys. another religious body,
believe in standardization. They are
also expert dancers and tumblers
Barnum would be proud of such a set
OF acrObatS.
There is another sect that never
speak. They make signs skillfully.
Blood sacrifices form part of the re-
ligion Of other fanatics. and the butch
ering of sons and daughters to appease
the wrath of the Lord is getting rather
too common.
There are also missionaries who 90
around preaching the glories and
beauties of suicide and its absolute
necessity for salvation. A Mr.. Souck-
hoff is the leader of this gang. He
was arrested for murder some time
ago, but managed to escape, and
turned up in village where he
preached SO hard in favor of murder
and suicide that several of his follow
ers cut each others threats, and others
shut themselves up in their houses and
burned themselves to death.

Barnum Talks OF Elephants.
I have parties of men who 90 our

L have parties of men who 90 out on
special elephant-hunting expeditions
in India and Africa. At certain sea-
son of the year our agent, white
man, mounted on camel, will ride
througn the country. and the news of
his approach will quickly be commun-
icated to the natives of the interior.
When he arrives at some well-known
point OF rendezvous he will be met by
hundreds of the black natives, each
member of the party having in charge
a camel, a giraffe, rhinocerous, a
party of monkeys, or a group of wild
goats, these having been secured by
the natives during their hunting ex-
petitions. 1t is tolerably easy to
catch the largest of beasts, the ele-
phant-that is, it is easy for the ma
tives who know how to do it. They.
use tame elephants as decoys. taking
them to the interior, allowing them to
mingle for a time with their live breth-
rem, and inducing them to lead the I'M
tanned beasts into kraal or fenced
Enclosure, where they are quickly
chained and brought into submission
to the will of man. BY strict disci-
pine, and from association with the
tame elephants, the wild ones soon
become fit subjects for civilized COM
munity. There are thousands of tanned
elephants in India and Africa. where
they are used in performing the heavy
labor of the country. In my own cir-
Gus have made use of them RI load
ing our cars, one elephant doing the
work of many men.-The Epoch.

Chairman Murray.

The Memphis Appeal does not pro-
TESS to be for Bob Taylor, but here ia
the way it closes an editorial excoria-
ting Chairman Murray, OF Hawkins
county, and his methods to pack the
convention
"What cares Murray for all this? A
party convention is to him but q
means to an end, a gathering for the
practice Of chicane, of deceit, OF lying
and OF dishonesty. 1t is no harm then,
he thinks, to cheat tho people Of their
purpose, and by robbing them OF their
right to select delegates actually make
himself one, a majority. This is not
Democracy, though accomplished I'M
der cover of the Democratic name
this is not Democracy. though cloaked
under Democratic authority. 1t is
none OF these. 1t is an outrage as
fragrant and an abuse as much to be
condemned as the stuffing OF ballot
boxes at elections. The result is the
same i'll both cases. Ghe will OF the
people is defeated. A political man.
ager with sheaf OF blank certificates
foils the peoples purpose OF fair ex-
preston Of their preference. Surely
there is herein food for thought. How
long can party survive such methods
of management? How long can we
hope for success where practices like
this are permitted to obtain, to defeat
the will Of the people and prevent the
fair expression OF preference that is
the test Of pure Democracy and unde-
filed?"

Ringing Resolutions.

THE following resolution was adopt
ed by the Gibson county democratic
convention;
ave endorse the democratic admin
istration of the State Government for
the past two years under the guidance
OF Gov. Robt. L. Taylor for its purity,
honesty and economy, by which the
credit Of the State has been sustained
and elevated. We indorse Gov, r. l..
Taylor, believing he can make u most
brilliant and successful canvass, and
believing that he is the strongest man
before the masses Of the people, and
under the usages OF the party he is en-
titled to denomination at the hands OF
the democracy OF the State, we favor
his denomination and instruct the
delegates from this convention to the
State convention to cast the solid vote
OF Gibson county for r. L. Taylor as
the nominee OF the party for Governor
as long as he is candidate, and use
all honorable means to secure his
nomination"
