THE Pan-American congress. when
deliberating TO promote more unity of
interests among the people who claim a
right to remember COLUMBUS as d, Wis
itOr, should agree on Il common Ian
guage, pot a new combination device,
but one of the present and most used
ones. 1t would greatly facilitate unity
and fellowship if single language were
recognized for the continent. That
most widely used and progressive would
be the natural choice.

A WELL.

Fort Scott, Kan June 4:-Treasurer
HOrnaday, has discovered al a depth OF
$50 feet. on his farm in this county, a
most startling phenomenon. 1t is an
artesian well of electric water. Ii is
very clear and cold, and contains much
less sulphur than does The artesian
waters of this city. 1t also contains
other qualities that the taste cannot de-
fine.
The electric forces of this remarka-
BILE fluid are very powerful. To place
both hands in the water at the same
time is utterly impossible. The shock
is so forcible that it will throw you
aside with vigor, giving you to realize
a second attempt will be qnite unneces
sarv. When only one hand is placed
in the water the effect is quite differ
ent. A steady, powerful current passes
through the body, beginning mildly at
first, but soo becomes intensely vigor.
N and ultimately uubearable. This
latter experiment produces al interest,
ing effect at night time. When in the
lark you will be astonished TO see great
electric sparks eminating from the fin.
gers of one hand, while holding the
other In the water.
This wonderful water is pleasant 10
the taste, but has an effect similar Il
hat of seidletz powder; however, as
the mixing process goes into the stOm-
.ch a vigorous protest will be made
made to get a sec ond glass of the fluid.
1t seems that SO soon as this water re-
turns into the stomach and comes in
in contact with the gasses therein an
illusion takes place which induces
startling electrical commotion and a
foamy substance comes boiling up with
such force that il overflows the mouth
and n0strils, much 10 the annoyance of
the victim. Much interest is felt IN
this rich find, and as the well is but a
short distance northeast of this city,
many investigate it's curious charms
avery day.

THE LAST DEMOCRAT IN THE IN
TERNAL REVENUE BUREAU
GONE.
REPUBLIC BUREAU, ]

hbEI LII DohrAOs Z
WASHINGTON, May IA. 1889.
Mr.. Nj. ii. M~armaduke, whose retire
ment from the internal revenue bureau
was noted briefly last night, wound up
his official duties to-day and turned his
desk and keys Over TO his successor.
He was asked for his resignation by
the commissioner of Internal revenue.
The demand was made purely on poll
teal grounds, as the commissioner pei
sonally assured MIR. Marmaduke that
his administration OF his very RESPONSE
BILE office had ueen entirely satisfactory
10 the department. This fact may be
confirmed by the circum stances that
during his incumbency of the Office
two official courts of the stamp vaults
under his charge had been made by
order OF the secretary OF the treasury,
which showed that more than one bill
lion stamps, aggregating in value about
81 900, QUO 900 had passed through Mr..
Marmaduke's hands, and every stamp
aid every cent had been properly &C.
counted for. The two reports made by
the secretary's committee compliment
ed Mr.. Marmaduke highly and stated
that '.Not one error had been made.
With Mr.. Marmaduke's departure
from the service of the internal reve.
nue. bureau goes the last democratic Of
fetal connected with this important
branch of u government at head
qcarters. This action on the part of
the republican administration is in
sharp contrast with that of the demo-
cratic administration. When Commits
sioner j. s Miller came into office
.rlo- tho frlaualan1 ,nu,rna he fNnnI
every official position filed by republic
cans. He refused to make a single re-
moval on political grounds. When he
retired from Office at the expiration of
four years he left i'm Office only Mr.,
Armstrong, of West Virginia, as chief
of the stamp department., and MIR.
Marmaduke, of Missouri, superinten-
dent OF the vaults. The republican who
was succeeded by Mr.. Armstrong left
the service for ''cause" wholly non
political. He was discharged for
drunkenness and insulting ladies in the
elevator.
The gentleman whom Mr.. Marina.
duke succeeded, though a republican,
was promoted to chief of division in
snother department with increased
salary, and he holds the place still.
Hardly had the present commissioner
gotten his official seat warmed than he
called upon Messrs. Armstrong and
Marmaduke for their designations.
John w. Mason the present commits
sioner of internal revenue, Is q spoils-
maj of the first water. He represents
everything that is vicious and vulgar in
American politics and will therefore
commend himself to the party whose
dirty work he is ready to 10. He was
made internal evenu commissioner al
the request of the whisky trust,
speaking through Steve Elkins. The
democrats found the bureau soIidly re-
publican, and only one nan was dis
charged, and that for drunkenness,
The republicans at the end of four
Years came in and found only two
democrats in the bureau, and within
three months these two are turned out.

rison for you.
