JUST PUNISHMENT.

A few days ago Mrs. Candeld, wife of
the newly elected president of the Ma
tionaI teachers association, wrote let
ter from Nashville to friend in Topeka
Kan, her home, in which she made a
number of unkind remarks about the
people of Nashville. The friend to whom
the letter was written gave it to the To-
peka Capital, in which paper it was pub
lished. 1t was wired from Topeka to the
Nashville American, and published by
that paper while Mr. and Mrs. Garfield
were still in the city enjoying the hospl-
tality being lavished upon them.
Il created a sensation.
Among other things Mrs. Garfield
hoped to be occupying a corner of the
sky whence she could look down on that
section when "black heels shall be on
white necks. In another sentence she
mildly lampooned two ladies, wives Of
local committeeman, who had called on
her. Altogether it was very migrate
full sort of thing to write.
The American s republication threw
the author into a state of CONSERVATION
and she had tc be carried to her room
where she spent the day crying. She
wrote an explanatory note, saying the
letter was not intended for publication,
and making about as good an excuse
as was possible. Her husband was so
mortified that he resigned, but the exec
utive committee refused to accept his
resignation.
But won't there be a racket when
Mrs. Garfield meets the friend who
allowed her letter to be published?

TWO EASY CURES OF HICCOUGHS.
It is said that violent hiccoughs may be
stopped by putting drop of cold water into the
ear. a celebrated physician advises tightly
closing the ears by pressure and taking sey eral
sips of cold water. 1t has been demonstrated
that there is intimate relation between the ear
and the seat of trouble in hiccough.
The above is floating around in the
columns of the newspapers of the conn
try. The best cure for hiccoughs
is "white lie' told sudden
~ and energetically. Let any of
our readers try it for themselves.
To cure the hiccoughs, suddenly
alarm the sufferer by calling his attention
to the big spider on his neck or to the
man shooting at the woman behind him
or in any other manner startle him into
"catching his breath. -

the Second infantry for conduct unbe-
coming an officer and gentleman. Last
June while Col. Fletcher was acting COM
mandant at Fort Omaha his wife left him
and it was announced that she would sue

Shortly afterwards 8 story was cir

the colonel touching his wife s honor and
duplicating Assistant Surgeon Hender-
son and Capt. Charles a. Dempsey The
latter, upon hearing the report, called
on Col. Fletcher and gave him a sound
drubbing. Later Dr.. Henderson called
in company with Lieut.. Wright, and IN
spite Of the fact that an orderly was pa
trolling in front of the colonel s door, he
gave that gentleman q chastising he will
not soon forget. Henderson was arrested
but was immediately released. The af-
fair is causing great excitement in army
circles, and leads to the present court
martial proceedings. Owing to the alb
sence of important witnesses for the de-
Tense, the hearing of the case has been
postponed until Thursday.

IT Is difficult to credit the statement
that railroads subsidlze newspapers. It
would be very unwise on the part of rail-
roads TO do this, and the subsidized news
paper would be in daily peril of exposure
and ruin. If railroads did a thing so
foolish the people would be justified in
believing thar the roads had purposes an
tagonistic to the public veal, and if any
newspaper should sell its soul TO the roads
the people woGld give it neither con-
fidence nor patronage. If the charge
. that certain Texas newspapers are subsi-
died by the roads were true, the people
could spot the guilty parties, since such
paid organs would take the side of the
roads in every controversy with the
roads.

of the leading editors of the country use
violet ink. This accounts for a good
many things hitherto unaccounted for.
The wishywashy stuff that goes for the

alton Imagine Greedy or Raymond, or
Prentice or the elder Bennett writing
with violet ink! Nary time. We can
picture them now sharpening their pen
els with meat axe, and keeping q
bucket of ice water handy to cool them
so they would not burn holes in the paper
as they dashed off thoughts that stirred
up the brains of the nation. What
would you think of John Hancoclt's

the craftsmanship of to-day is a sort of
lavender affair, anyhow, and we should
