alleges the defendant agreed to marry
her on Thanksgiving day, 1898, and he
failed to keep his promise. By failure
and neglect of the defendant to per-
form his promise the plaintiff alleges
that she is injured and damaged in the
loss of character and reputation.
Prof. g. G. Blake, the Kansas wealth
er prophet, says that In the main the
northern states will have a blighting
drouth. and no crops this year, but
that Kansas will have full crop, and
her farmers will get good prices. He
advises: 1.-The drouth this summer
be will so severe in maHy states that we
do not see how to give any advice, as
the crops will simply dry up long before
maturity. But in Kansas, part of Mis-
souri, and the south the greatest efforts
should be made to plant every available
acre with corn as soon as possible, and
in those parts where our table for 1889
show rain will be sufficient iduring the
summer and early fall, the lister should
follow the binder in June and plant
corn as fast as wheat and oats are
cut" The advice is good whether the
predictions prove correct or not. Suf-
fering and want never comes to COM
munity that has plenty Of provisions
for man and beast no difference how
low the price may be. The man or
community that has a surplus is the
prosperous and happy one, regardless
of prices.
Mrs. Mary Dunn, a widow living in
Oswego township, Labette county,
committed suicide Saturday night by
taking fluid extract of belladona. At
about 8 o'clock Tuesday morning she
awakened one of her daughters, Alice,
and complained of feeling badly. After
attending to her mothers wants, Alice
went to sleep again, but was awakened
at 4 O'Clock by her mothers heavy
breathing. Being unable to arouse her
she called assistance and DR.. Barbe of
Oswego was summoned, who arrived at
about o'clock. He was unable to
arouse her, and finding that she was
about to become mother, he sent for
DR.. Williams, and upon his arrival
they attempted to save the child's life,
but thepoison had done its work on the
child also, and was dead when deliv-
cred. Mrs. Dunn never gained con-
seriousness, and died at 6 O'Clock in the
evening. She left no writing of any
kind, but the dead infant at her Sside
and the partly emptied vial of BELLA
dona told the terrible story. Not de-
string that the odium of her shame
should rest upon her children she hoped
that the grave would hide her secret
forever. Her husband left her about ten
years ago, and she has since lived alone
with her three children on farm near
Oswego. The children are aged re-
speetively, sixteen, fourteen and eleven
years, the Oldest and youngest being
girls.

countenance and support civil service
reform got, it received from President
Cleveland. Seeing that it threatened
him with destruction, he let go of it to-
wards the last, but not in time to save
himself President Harrison, no
doubt thinks well of it, if we may
judge from his expressed intentions to
carry it into effect, but the rank and
file of the party, congressman, politi-
clans ,office-seekers and their friends de-
spise it, and keep up such a clamor for
the spoils that resistance is out of the
question, if it was ever seriously con-
templated. A good many democrats
will be allowed to serve out their terms
of Office, and will then be replaced with
republicans. That is all that remains
of civil service reform, and it is no
easy thing for the president to keep
even that remnant of it in his hands.
AS for the rest, it is dead ami buried,

WE are not prepared yet to take much
stock in the rumors lately started at
Washington concerning the GOODNESS
said to exist between Secretary Blaine
and the president. If those rumors be
well founded and Mr.. Blaine as well as
others have been badly treated by the
president who is said to be so very anx-
ious to let the world see that he, and
he alone, is president, then is he much
more of prig than is good either for
him or the country. There is such a
thing as standing so very erect as to
incur the danger of falling backward.
But, President Harrison baS had too
much experience with men and affairs
to make the gross blunders attributed
to him in the rumors alluded to. Mr..
Blaine's health has not been robust for
years. 1t was not so during the cam
paign last fall. There can, therefore,
be nothing improbable in the accounts
sent out from time to time concerning
attacks of reumatism and lumbago
which compel him to keep at home. To
say that he is only feighning illness in
order to pave the way to his resignation
because of the unfair treatment he has
received from the president, is to sup
pose condition of things in the cabinet
fatal to the success of the administra-
ton

THE FRENCH EXPOSITION

The great French exposition about
which we have heard SO much in the
last few months, is now opened. Pres
ident CarnOt's address was pitched in
rather high key and gives AIS better
opinion of the man and his abilities,
than hitherto prevailed.
From its tone one gathers but little
idea of the severe trials and paroxysms
through which democratic government
i'll France has passed in the century
just ended. From its optimistic tone,
one sees nothing but smooth sailing
ahead, though = crisis may develop
itself at any moment. Crises are as
at a Donnybrook fair.
But in spite of them all and the fact
that France is hedged in by monarch
cal governments, the spirit of democ-
racy survives, and not only survives,
but strengthens with each year of its
existence.
One hundred years ago began the
contest between the privileged classes
and the third estate. The fight was
a bitter one and soon became a most
bloody. The memory of CEN
turtles of thraldom and slavery
was quickened in the people, and the
determination to endure it no longer,
and to avenge the injustice and oppres-
sion of fourteen hundred years of
Bourbon rule, grew to frenzy in
which king, queen and nobility, to-
gether with government, laws and re-
ligion were wiped out of existence and
the reign of terror began. The story
is a familiar one to all.
Democracy triumphed and, with in
termissions, has continued to hold
sway for century. That it is des-
tined to persevere, cannot well be
doubted. There may be crises and
but nothing less than the
oyerpowering personality of another
Bonaparte could reconcile the French

Tn. Queen wopldn't perrit It.

LONDON, May Tt transpires that
Lord Lytton, the British ambassador
to France, was really DESTROYS of re-

other fake equally as gross and false
was sent out by the Associated Press a

The usual treatment of catarrh is

THE editor of the Kansas City GA
zette does not like Sol Miller's way of
discussing the relations of the presi-
dent and Secretary Wanamaker, and
the cause that led to the formers sue
cess, especially so far as the use of
money is concerned. The difference
between the two editors may be one
only of temperament, but there is this
to be said of Sol Miller, that in addi-
tion to being good republican of an
Independent and honest way of think
ling, he is not an Office seeker, and
would not, as he says himself, have an
office. He is therefore free to criticize
when and where his judgment war
rants. Whether Brother. Martin is
equally as disinterested, we don't
know.
THE Guthrie correspondent of the
Wichita Journal is doing some
wild and woody writing
for his paper concerning the
situation in that town. Last week he
sent out a buncombe report about a
general uprising of the citizens against
Mayor Dyer, whom they fired from
Office because of his rascally interfer-
ence in surveys aud other matters. By
1 the same account Senator Kelly was
ordered out of town. Now it turns
out that neither statement was true,
and that the whole thing was fake.
The situation is all serene in Guthrie
as we learn from newspaper accounts,
as well as from gentlemen who have
returned from there in the last two
or three days. The Journal man is 3
