Col. DAVID TAYLOR of Emporia
was in the city on Saturday, and while
here interviewed a number of our peo-
pie on the governorship, for which he
is candidate. Mr.. Taylor is a gentle
man of ability and possesses qualifica-
tions that entitle him to the fair con-
sideration of the party. There is,
however, great obstacle in his way,
and that is the extreme doubt as to his
ability to secure the hearty support of
his own home. The probabilities are
that Lyon county's vote for governor
is already pledged in anoter direction
in payment for services rendered sew

SOME of our Republican contempt

1t is not because Walkinshaw is a re-

because he is one of the best, most ex-

Congressional Proceedings and OGhel
Items Of Note.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, March 9.-The house
proceeded to the further consideration
of the omnibus war claim bill coming
over from last Friday. The amend
ment agreed to in the committee of the
whole, after a prolonged debate, ap-
propriating $40, 900 for the relief of the
Protestant Episcopal theological semi
nary and high school, of Virginia, was
again the subject of discussion, being
opposed by J. D. Taylor and Kennedy,
of Ohio. who took the ground that the
claim was not included in the provis-
ions of the Bowman act;
and by Grosvenor, OF Ohio, who
protested against the payment OF
a claim when it was not shown that the
claimants were loyal. He declared that
congress might as well pass bill pay
ing for the occupation of the hotel
where Ellsworth fell, and for damages
caused by the blood of Ellsworth
trucking down the walks of the build
ing.
ported the amendment. holding that
the theological seminary had been To-
Gated in loyal territory. which had been
so recognized by congress. The pro
position was laid down that the loyalty
or disloyalty of the trustees
had no bearing on the
Justice of the claim.
Reed. of Maine, said that the naked
proposition of the amendment was to
pay sc, 600 TO corporation on account
of the fact that it was deprived of the
use of its building by the operation of
war. If the precedent contained in
the amendment were set, congress
might have to pay rent for the fields
used in combat. The amendment was
agreed to. Yeas, 1872; nays, IS; and

ESIPoRIA's parks are at last becom-
ing useful as well as ornamental.
Yesterday morning the remains Of
dead horse belonging to the city were
inferred in Humboldt park. Now let
the city authorities follow this beauti-
full precedent by burying all the dead
dogs and cats in the city in the same
place, and we viii soon have q park
containing extremely rich soil, al
though it may not be an extremely
pleasant or healthy resort for pleasure.
Besides. it is more economical to bury
the dead animals in the heart of city
than to go to the expense of carrying
them out to the city dumping ground.

The st. Joe people have never quite
forgiven Bob Ford for killing their pet
hero, Jesse James, and delight in any
thing calculated to belittle him. The
following we copy from the News:
Bob Ford, who has attracted a good
deal of attention in the dime shows be-
cause he shot Jesse James in the back,
is living in New Mexico. He recently
offended man named Miller, and Mil
Ter at once challenged him to mortal
combat. Ford accepted, but when the
important hour arrived Ford did not
put in an appearance. although Miller
was there with his Winchester rife.
Ford is the subject of good deal of
unfavorable comment in that country.
Miller ought to accept an engagement
in dime show, and flirt with the fat
woman.

No more can the old sneer about
mot stealing hot stove' be ap-
plicable, as it is now on record that
William Jackson, Kansas City negro,
was arrested for trying to sell a stove
on a street corner in the busiest part
of the town. When the police opened
the stove, which was hardly cold, they
found a roast of beef, potatoes and a
few other articles such as a small
family would have for dinner. 1t is
thought he went into some kitchen,
removed the fire in the stove and
carried it off despite its heat.

How a DyingChild

lump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew
larger. The family physician thought IL was
caused by piece OF broken glass or needle,
but failed 70 bring anything to light The
child became faebleF all the time, seeming to
lose the use Of her leg, and finally quit walk
ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb
OF either hand became enlarged, the flesh be-
coming hard. The hip joints became involv-
ed, 60 that when seventeen months old she
could not stand, having lost the use Of leg
and arm Partial curvature Of the spine also

muscles contracted, and there was general
wasting Of flesh and muscle. At eighteen
months Of age she was placed under the
treatment OF a prominent physician OF Bos-
ton, Mass, but at the end OF ten months she
had declined to such degree that she was in
dying condition. This was In April. 1885
We took the child away not knowing what
to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were
over-persuaded by friends to try "one bot
tie" of SwFr's SPECIFIC, which we did. and
before it had all been taken we saw change
for the better in her symptoms We kept t
up, and have done so to this day, and VIII
keep it up, II the Lord wills, for many days
to come. for it has brought our dying Hazel
to life, to Vigor, to strength and health again.
The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed tn
rosy tint. She is able to walk anywhere.
