MANUFACTURING COUNTY.

The most popular cry just now,
echoed all over the state, is for home
Industries, particularly manufacturing
concerns that will employ otherwise
idle hands and attract others; that
will provide market within the state
for much of our products that are now
sent abroad to come back to US after
many days in a different form and
capture all the profit made of of them
as raw material; and to utilize capital
in established industries, thus discour-
aging speculation and encouraging
stability. The idea is recognized as
good by everybody, but there are
many who shake their heads at it as
impossible.
A few figures will show that it is
by no means impossible but on the
contrary the best thing Kansas can
do. Shawnee county in 1887 was, as
to population the third county in the
state, and produced trifle less than
So, 900, 900 in farm products. In 1888
we produced trifle over $4,000, 600,
and were the first in population. Our
manufactured products exceeded our
products from farms by *1,500. 00O.
In other words, we are by IS per cent
a greater manufacturing county than
an agricultural one. Our industries,
including mechanical ones, aside from
the farm, numbered 80, employed ov-
er 1900 hands, aggregated nearly S.
0OO, 200 capital, expended nearly ST.
OOO, 900 in wages, and utilized over 3d.
OOO, OO0cf raw material. All this does
not include the great Santa Fe car and
machine shops.
These figures demonstrate that To-
peka is already something of a manu-
featuring city. They show that Kan
sas need not be a mere agricultural
community, every man competing in
the same product with his neighbor.
When We in Kansas take steps to fol-
low the same policy that has been the
secret Of the marvellous prosperity of
the whole country, the policy of d.
versifying industries, We will be sew
eral rounds higher Oh the ladder of
uccess.-Topeka Capital.

the streets as usual on Tuesday in appar-
ent good health. No one who saw him
dreamed that he was within few days
of the grave. In the evening he went to
the home of Mrs. Susan Louther, on Main
street, near Adam, where he has been
staying since the flood, and retired about
10 o'clock In as good health as usual.
The doctor slept in the same room with
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Turner, but in
d separate bed. About half-past 5
o'clock yesterday morning the lat
ter was aroused by the doctor,
who stated that hey sick. They went
down stairs, the household baving been
alarmed in the meantime. The doctor
remarked TO Mrs. Louther, 81 am going
to die," Upon being asked what allied
him he stated that it was heart disease
Hc then fell PROSTATE to the floor. A
slight hemorrhage followed, after which
he died in few minutes His brother,
DIR. B. L. Yeagley, who has been making
his home in Stony Creek township since
the flood, was hastily summoned, as was
DR.. Kistler also, but all efforts to resusci.
tate the stricken man were unavailing.
DR.. Yeagley is survived by his wife,
two children boy and girl, aged re-
spectively fourteen and eleven years,
three brothers, DIR. B. L., of our city, DIR.
Henry of Lancaster, and George of Fay
cite county, and two sisters, one in Con-
nellsvillc and the ether in Pittsburgh.
Mrs. YeagleY was not at home at the
time of her husbands death, being at her
old home, Pine Flat, Indiana county. In
response to hasty summons she arrived
last night on Johnstown Express.
The doctor contemplated spending the
coming winter either with his brother in
Lancaster or his sister in Pittsburgh,
whose husband is also a physician, his
new house ON Locust street not icing
half done at present.
He belonged to the Eclectic School of
Medicine, and was educated for his pro-
fession at Cincinnati, Ohio. His practice
in Johnstown has always been quite large,
and he was regarded as successful
medical adviser.
He was in religion, a member Of the
Christian Church, and in politics a
staunch Democrat, being elected County
Treasurer by that party in 1878.
Arrangements for the funeral will be
made to-day.

stated that $4,000 were available for the

their good and generous work in helping

ahrubt and unpleasant termiua tion.
Hubbs, Notwithstanding the fact that he
has a wife and family 1T siding IN Lud-
wick, has laid seige to many susceptible
and unsuspecting hearts, wherever he
happens to locate in the pursuit of his
calling, that of plasterer During his
soujourn at Latrobe he captivated
one of the fair daughters of that
village, and with whom he was
about to enter into a matrimonial alli-
ance. Upon her he. squandered his
money, loading her with presents and
other evidences of his affection, while
his family was suffering for even
the commonest necessaries of life.
Some time ago he went to work at Johns
town, and, after repeated appeals from
his wife, he agreed that she join him
there. Reaching that point with her two
children, the distressed woman was
almost crushed by the reception she re-
coived. Hubbs had no place to shelter
her, and, to still further add to her misery,
he was far gone in intoxication. Broken
hearted she returned to her desolate home
and prepared to support her offspring as
best she could. Tales of her husbands
pertid1ous conduct with other women
reached the poor wife's ears, but such
was her faith in him that she was slow
to believe them. A mutual friend of Mrs.
Hubbs and OF the Latrobe girl-to whom
Hubbs had represented himself as a sim
gle man brought about meeting be-
tween the forsaken wife and the unsus-
pecting maiden, when the true character
of the recreant husband and pretended
lover was revealed. The girls father is
anxious to interview the gay Lothario,
while the wretched wife has made an in
formation against her faithless husband
for desertion. An officer is now in search
of him, and it is hoped that he will soon
be brought to answer for his cruel treat
ment of his family.
