r.HBurke returned Monday from
Bushong, and gave report of the con-
dition of the smallpox patients at that
place. There have been three houses
quaranttned there. The place at
which it first broke out was a hotel,
that has since been termed the pest
house. The old Green farm, about a
mile and quarter from the hotel, and
a COW shed, where were housed four
men known to have been exposed, were
the other two places quarantined. The
quarantine-on the mel. in the COW shed
has run out. They did not take down
with the disease, SO they were turned
loose last night. Three of the people
at the Green farm house have the dis
ease; one of them is still well. There
is one man at the pest house sti!l liable
to the disease. so there are two more
who will possibly take the infection.
Only one patient has died. Ten are now
sick, seven at the pest house and three
at the Green farm. The patients at
the dest house are getting along well;
most of them are sitting up part of the
time and are feeling very comfortable.
The disease has been, so far, kept with
in quarantine, and none but those first
exposed have caught the contagion.
The authorities have in this matter
used discretion and have given the mat
ter prompt attention. for which they
should be commended.

A COMPARISON.
II. s. ALEXANDER,
City Clerk.

If the peculiar characteristics of
the leading men Of to-day were
fairly analysed and contrasted one
with another what a study would be
afforded to those who seek to draw
the lines and make comparisons.
Take the two noted senators of Kan
sas for example. Ingalls,. with his mar
row-chested frame. educated sentiment
and caustic eloquence. Plumb, with
his broad-shouldered. robust body, we'll
balanced head and unassuming ap-
pearance. Two men Of widely differ
ent type Of character. Among stran-
gers Ingalls, would pass unchallenged
for reserved but rather homely Puri-
tanical schoolmaster. hailiDg from some
antiQuated burrough of one of our
downeasU states, He looks as grace
full and docile as a lamb and carries
none of his stingaree qualities about
him in everyday life. He has little o.
no worldliness, and as little genius in a
commercial sense for the art of money
making as has horse for walking on
the ceiling overhead. His polished ed
ucation is apparent, but the force of
his peculiar genius is so completely dis
guised in his general makeup that it
becomes a great surprise. No one
would ever dream that this man could
hurl more sarcasm and artistic billings
gate from his voluble tongue in an hour
than half the senate could swallow in a
whole session. His invective seems to
flow SO naturally that he scarcely real
ICES its results.
Plumb is altogether a different sort
of man, not only in appearance but
in debate. He would be more readily
taken for dignitied, well-to-do west
ern farmer. He has kind, benevolent
face, and does not belle his looks in the
least. His smiles are captivating, and
few men can leave his presence as enc
mics. In conversational powers he is
as attractive as pretty woman. 1t is
said to require hard-shelled man to
resist Plumb's persuasive powers when
once his hand is laid familiarly
upon his listeners knee or shout
der. Plumb does not fight his op-
ponents with a braided prod and de-
light to make them howl with rage,
but goes to work in deliberate man
ner to deDude the opposition of its
false covering and expose whatever
deformitieS it may be possessed of.
Hrs arguments are smooth and care
fully applied. Their influences are
soothing and curative. His everyday
life is practical and progressive. He
makes money. and applies it where he
thinks it will do the most good. He is,
taken altogether, the most influential
man in the state. Bow BACK.

AN adjourned meeting of the Iegis-
lature is being discussed among the
Kansas Solons for the purpose of con-
sidering the recommendations of the
Interstate convention touching the
beef combine to be held in st. Louis
March u. Unless that be done or an
extra session called by Governor Hum
phrey, the matter will have to lay over
for two years. An extra session would
cost pile of money. An adjourned
session, would cost nothing, as it would
be only a continuation of the present
session over the fifty days for which
pay is allowed. One thing or the other
should be done, or else Kansas will get
no benefit from the scheme originated
by her against the dressed beef monop-
oily.

Iris due to Secretary Bayard to say
that he makes at least very plausi-
BILE defense of his Samoan policy. In
the first place the genius of our insti-
buttons are opposed to encouraging the
military spirit such as prevails in Eu-
rope and is the cause of its autoeracies
and standing armies. In the second
place he favors the naturalization of
places like Samoa that may be OF SER
vice to one or more foreign powers, and
is opposed TO guaranteeing anything
To guarantee even the naturalization
of Samoa, to say nothing of its autono-
my, would require the expenditure of a
large sum of money in Notifications in
Page Page strongly garrisoned, and a
fleet in the south Pacific. In other
words, it involves entangling alliances
which are opposed to the spirit of
the Monroe doctrine. For these and
other reasons the secretary has pur-
sued peaceful policy respecting Sam
GA. The secretary is plausible enough,
but differs FROM Secretary Whitney,
and every representative of the gov
| eminent in Samoa, who think he
should have been more firm with Bis
mark and put on holder front. The
| question now seems to be in fair way
to an easy and satisfactory settlement
at the coming:conference in Berlin.

Remarkable Instance.

One of the most remarkable occur
ences happened Saturday in our city.
Daniel Young, coIored man pretty
well known, went to Tobie's drug store
and procured box of Red Cross cough
drops and took them home for his little
boy, eighteen months old. who was
suffering from cold and whooping
cough. The child got the package and,
unbeknown to the parents, ate up the
entire quantity OF the candies. Last
night the child passed tape worm
fourteen inches long, the same being
on exhibition at Tobie's drug store this
morning. We get our authority for this
statement there. It is remarkable
more from the fact that the medicine
had an entirely different effect on the
child than what it was intended for,
than that such an enormous worm
should have developed in one SO young.
Cough drops have heretofore never
been thought to be cure for tape
worm. or worms Of any sort.

OxLAHOMA.

Living as close as We do to Okiaho-
ma. and knowing that the land and
opportunities there are no BETTER II as
good, as in this state, itseems strange
that hundreds and thousands Of men
should be standing around waiting tor
a chance to walk into it, as If they
expected to pick up a fortune once
they got to It. They seem to look upon
that wild land very much as the half
starved and king ridden poor OF Eur
ope regard the United States There
is the same eagerness TO get into 1t.
to find elbow room and liberty, as well
as vast and indefnable opportunities
and advantages that no country, no
matter how favored, could realize, and
all this, too within few hours.
OF course the people who indulge
these airy visions are building castles
in the air. They viii find when they
reach Oklahoma that it won't
be cakes and ale all the time, nor at
ali for that matter. They will have
many hardships to endure and viii
fare as pioneers always do. The sweet
will come with much bitter, and for
tunes will have to be wrung from the
soil II got at all. There will be no hol-
iday features about it, and very little
to alter or relieve the hard and dull
monotony of blowing and digging. II
will be work, work, work for the hon
est settler, with but few of the bless
ings and relaxing influences of societ!
that make life endurable.
Undertaking such life is not yer.
unlike entering the state of matri
mony. 1t should be done carefully ant
with consideration. A. due regar'
should be had for the difficulties ant

Men of grit. of stamina. and courage
/, only should think of 1t.
Scalawag3, rogues and scoundrel
will be there in abundance ready to d
suckers, Of whom there will be a
abundance Of course.
In view of these circumstances, an
of the additional fact that the create
part OF Oklahoma is a treeless an
sandy plain and poorly adapted t
farming, it is difficult to understan
why so many who could do much bette
here in Kansas if they would get dow
