NAVIGATING THE KAW,

The Kansas City, Kansas, Daily
Gazette, in reproducing what the EAGLE
said touching the fact that an attempt
was once made to navigate the Kaw
river but which was abandoned as I'M
profitable as was the Missouri after
wards: says:
Two or three trips were made in 1866
by steamboats, to Fort Riley, and one
boat actually reached Junction City
nine miles further by the Smoky Hill.
The captain was drunken than a lord,
and the river very crooked. The boat
that transported the Manhattan colony
on its return stranded near St. Mary's,
and it lay there until it rotted. The
Missouri is great navigabie stream; the
kaw is an assortment of sand bars and
water. The Kaw never was navigable-
wonderful commerce used to float on
the Missouri. We were on a pontoon
bridge across the Missouri few weeks
ago. The stream was fully five hundred
feet wide, and we were told from twenty
to thirty feet deep. We wonder why
such stream is not navigable. We
think it has been dried up as a useful
stream by railroad and stock nlanipula-
ton, and not from any change III the
stream, or in the practicability and
profit Of water navigation.

The autumnal equinox is considera-
bly, ahead of time this year, but from re-
ports from the Atlantic seaboard its at
tendant gale was none the less severe on
that account. The weather has been all
out of whack throughout the year, SO
far, with no indications of getting back
into the old order, We have nothing to
complain of in that connection in this
section; on the contrary the season of
1889 could not have been improved up

Gator had had the making of it.

TIE SANTA FEE AND THE STATE OF
KANSAS

In figuring up the future Of The a., t.
e S. T. r. r., eastern directors, the
foreign holders, and the home manage
ment and home papers, all base the
chances for liquidation and success, on
| Kansas crops. This has been the tune
ever since it was discovered that the
management had over-built and gone too
far in acquiring new lines, and it has
been a tune very detrimental to Kansas,
| as well as deceptive to the general public.
The Santa Fe got her name and fame
as Kansas road, and her great
dividends were earned in Kansas traffic.
and before the road had scattered all
over creation. But it is preposterous to
longer talk about big crops in Kansas
sustaining the Santa Fe, or about the
traffic of this state putting the price Of
stock and the margin of dividends where
they were once. The Santa Ee runs
clear across Texas, the biggest state in
the union; it traverses the states Of Hi
nois, Missouri Kansas, Texas, Colorado,
and part of California, the territories Of
New Mexico, Arizona, and the
Indian Territory. 1t touches Iowa
and Nebraska, and runs through one
state OF foreign nation. Its
California extension of thousand miles
from Albuquerque across mountains OF
lava and deserts Of cactus, IN which ex-
tension it owns half interest, does not
pay, it is said, 500 per annum per mile,
over operating expenses. From the
lakes TO the gulf, from the rivers to the
Pacific ocean, stretches steel bands OF
this giant corporation. While there is
undoubtedly great future for the road,
as whole, and while the Kansas por-
ton of it is all right now, and has al
ways been all right, as a complete
system, counting in even the
wild and foolish branches and extern
sions. built through rivalry or from
spite, it is foolish to talk about the Santa
Fe's portion Of her Kansas traffic saving
the entire system, however tremendous
the crops or whatever the prosperity of
the state. The Santa Fe is the financial
meter Of Kansas for all New England,
which fact works wrong to Kansas.
The Santa Fe has been the states pet
railroad, the state is not afraid of beng
measured by the earnings Of that line
within the state, but the foolish talk
about the whole system depend
ing on Kansas traffic, or that
big crops in Kansas will put
the stock of the road back, up to one
hundred and plus, hurts Kansas and
such talk by Kansas papers ought to
cease.
The Santa Fe as 1t stands today, Gov
ering the new and the rapidly develop
ing quarter Of the North American con-
tinent, with one possible deep-water
terminal on the gulf with another
terminal at the worlds great grain port

ton of and linking the traffic Of the ORR
ent, and there is not only the grandest
future, possible to any system, whose
Importance and comprehensiveness
could be magnified by a single remain

Attorney Forest, of the defense in the
Cronin case, in Chicago, performed a
very clever coup on the prosecution by
securing an expert examination of the
blood stains on the Carlson cottage, the
place where the murder is alleged to
have been committed, without legal au-
thority. Whether any evidence was
obtained thereby that will throw any
light on the subject, or serve the defend
ants to any advantage, remains to be
seen. The refusal of the state to secure
the same evidence for the prosecution,
if there is anything it, and its efforts to
prevent the defense from securing it, is a
suspicious circumstance, to say the least.

WHEN TO USE THE FINGERS,

Celery is always taken from the dish
and carried to tho mouth by tho fingers.
If individual salts arc not provided, it is
etiquette to use one half of the butter
plato for salt.
Those who are very particular hold the
largo end of spear of asparagus with a
fork, while with the tip end of knife
they daintily separate the tender green
tops from the white end, which is then
put aside.
When corn is served on tho cob it
must be taken in the fingers, only man
aged very daintily. We have seen
pretty little doylies for the purpose of
holding it, but it is q question if that is
not carrying table linen too far.
When slice of lemon is served with
fish or meat it is much more correct to
take tho slice in the fingers, double the
ends together and gently squeeze the
juice over the article than to use iknife
for that purpose, as is sometimes done.
Watercress is taken in the fingers, and
the prettiest way of serving it is to oh.
tain long, low sided basket or dish, in
the bottom of which lay folded napkin,
then heap the crcss so as to fill the bas-
Set and you have not only an enjoyable,
but u very ornamental dish for the
breakfast table.
Lettuce when served without dressing
isalways pulled to pieces with tho fingers.
This is usually the lady's duty and there
is no prettier picture than that of q
young lady preparing plate of fresh
crisp lettuce leaves in this way, for the
tender green shows off to perfection her
dainty white hands.
1t is always proper to help ones self to
bread, cheese and lump sugar, if tongs
are not provided, with the fingers. Never
use your own knife, fork or spoon to
take from tho dish. 1t is also correct il
plate of hot unbroken biscuits is passed
to not only break off for yourself with
your fingers, but for your neighbor also.

sounded from aloft. followed by tear
ing and crashing that started the captain
to his feet
1.-THE main topsail has goncr ho ex-
claimed, and Immediately lie sprang upon
the deck.
Again the ship was put before the gale,
and for several moments Capt. Marshall
was undecided what to do. While in
this qlandary he felt hand laid upon
his shoulder, and on turning he beheld
his wife. She had ''souwcster" upon
her head and pea jacket buttoned
closely about her.
"What is the matter, James?" she
asked
Her husband explained his perplexity.
A strange look of fearlessness and con-
fidenoe rested upon that fair woman's
face, and looking for moment at the
compass, she said:
1--WE head due northwest. Station a
trusty lookout in the foretop and let the
ship stand onl'
Capt. Marshall felt at that moment as
though an angel had been sent to pilot
him to haven of rest. Whence arose
the feeling he knew not, but instructive
ly he obeyed. Fearful and loud roared
the mighty storm, and on dashed the
riven ship, but all fearless and composed
stood the heroic woman upon the quar-
ter deck, and the hardy seamen, rs they
gazcd upon her, felt that what daunted
not woman should not daunt them.
LAND hor came from the foretop.
In three minutes more, as tho ship rose
upon the bosom of giant sea, the land
was made out upon the deck, bearing
about two points on the larboard bow.
Emma caught sight of it, and scizing q
glass, at the next swell she discovered a
lighthouse upon its summit. Then she
turned her glass over the starboard beam
and in moment she exclaimed:
"There are the Bantam lodges. That
land on the larboard bow is Seguin, and
beyond can see Cape Small Point.
James," she continued, as she gazed into
her husbands face with look all made
up of conscious power, "if you will drop
your foretopsail, I will take you into the
Kennebec!'
For n moment Capt. Marshall had
hardly credited the evidence of his own
senses, but ono look into the calm, radi-
ant features of his wife determined him,
and in five minutes the foretopsail was
sheeted home.
Emma Marshall seized the spanlzer out
haul and sprang upon the wheelhouse.
and calm as the falling of tie summers
dew fell her orders to the men at the
wheel. The island of Seguin was cleared
in safety, and the ship bowled fearlessly
by the foam dashed rocks, and ere long
her bows cleft the smoother waters OF
the noble Kennebec. All danger was
passed. Though the storm still ragged,
yet the old Vincent rode at anchor, and
tho bowling tempest could harm her no
more. Confidence was restored to the
hardy crew.
Emma Marshall descended from her
station and sought her cabin. Her
rough habilaments were thrown aside,
and ere long she reappeared in all the
modesty and beauty of her native grace.
Capt. Marshall pressed her to his bosom,
and at that moment the hardy seamen
waved their hats high above their un-
covered heads, while prolonged shout
of Joy and gratitude went forth from
their relieved souls. They had been
saved from the terrible coast storm, and
from the bottom of their hearts they con.
fessed that Emma Marshall was wife
worth having. g.-Sylvanus Cobb
