FERRY, Kan, May Il, %
ED. HERALD: We concur with you
in your editorial of May 10th, and
your position on the live issues of the
day. If in holding up and exposing
to public gaze, the wrongs that have,
and are, growing up in this govern
ment on the land question, and if ia
calling for wholesome laws for the
suppression of the same, is to be
called Crank, then we say God
speed the Crank. Take the Des
NIoines valley land grant steal as an
example, where this government has,
and is to-day robhing hundreds of its
lawful citizens Of their justly earned
homes and putting it into the hands
of a corporation composed of few
persons whose only shadow of title
was gained through open and glar-
ing fraud. Continue in the good
work of agitating these wrongs
through the press, and educate the
people until they realize that an in
telligent ballot is the proper method
of dealing with these important sub
iects which threaten the life of our
government. Yours Resp't'y,
il. 9. FoRNEY.

The Rev. B. r. Paul, Of the Con
gregational church, Upton, Iowa,
was recently convicted by the church
council at Waterloo, Iowa, Of pIag-
iarism. The oTenso was that Of crib
bing editorials from the newspapers
and using the same in his sermons.
We see no good reason for such ac-
ton. IF Brother Paul preferred us
ing the productions Of a poor news
paper worm Of the dust, VINO discuss
living issues and questions Of the
present day, instead Of following in
the beaten paths of those who lived
In centuries past, no harm was done
to anyone. If he found In the news
papers something that appealed to
his judgement as worthy Of repro
duction, he should be commended
and not criticised. Topeka Capital

For the Phnlipsburg Herald
In Memory Of Little Harry KeIlar.

just as the flowers were blooming,
Harry was taken away;
But he is a bud in heaven,
Waiting the Judgment day.
n the bloom of youth he is taken,
We must endure the pain.
In our Fathers house we viii meet him.
For our loss is but his gain,
In his home his friends viii miss him,
Mothers heart Is allied with grief,
Father nouns the loss OF Harry,
For his stay here was so brief.
Yet we know we soon shall meet him,
In our Fathers house above,
And We'll part no more in sadness.
For there all is peace and love.
In that bright Celestial City,
Death can never enter there,
For all sadness ends on earth,
And in Heaven there is no care.
He saw the angels coming,
He knew that he was blest,
He knew that they were coming,
To take him up to rest.

POLITICAL GOSSIP,

The new governor of New Hampshire comments the Australian ballot law to the legislators of that state.
 Washington Democrats were cheered by what looked like Mir. Cleveland stand ing on the White House steps few days ago, but it turned out to be Representa- tive Coggswell, of Massachusetts.
 The Secret-Ballot law will go into op- eration in Montana in the October elec- tion, and it is predicted that in the con- test for congressman and members of the legislature the Republicans will thereby achieve great gain.
 Charles Price, the man whom President Harrison has appointed United States dis trict attorney for the western district of North Carolina, was formerly 0 Demo- crat, and about ten years ago was the Democratic speaker of the North Caro- lima house.
 In discussing the question whether the Illinois state senate had been bribed by interested monopolists, the Chicago Tr1- bune (Rep) says :-"There was no need for the payment of a cent. It would have been money wasted. The senators were against the people and for the mon opolists by nature and by instinct, and did not have to be bribed to do what they wanted to do.
 Hon. Hiram D. Upton, of Manchester. the new speaker of the New Hampshire house of representatives, being only thirty years old, is the youngest man, with a single exception, elected to that office in that state That exception was Hon. William E. Chandler, of Concord, who when he was chosen speaker In 1863, was in his twenty-eight year. Gen. Gill man Marston of Exeter, aged seventy seven, is the oldest member of the house, and William D. Eaton, of Seabrook, age twenty-four the youngest.

Heat of the Moons Surface.

It has been calculated that the lunar surface is raised by sunshine to tenn perature of something like 75O degrees Fahrenheit soon after the period of the full moon, and that it is depressed by the influence of radiation into space to some thing like 25O degrees below the zero scale of Fahrenheit soon after new moon. The moon has no heat screens around it like the earth with it's deep and blanket like atmosphere, so that when the sur face is turned away from the direct in tluence of the rays of the sun, the surface of the moon is exposed dur ing it's long cloudless day of some $50 hours to the direct rays of the sun, which shine upon it with a fierceness far be- yond anything experienced on the earth, and afterward it became almost inn measurably cold from it's night of simi- lar period. It Is inconceivable that any form of life could survive exposure to such degree of cold, vastly surpass- ing that of our arctic regions, and, in the short space of fourteen days, chang ing to degree of heat capable of melt Ing the more fusible metals.-N.

Another Brenthln0 We'll.

The Texas and Pacific company sank { bored we'll some years ago near Eagle Flat station, about no miles east of Fl paso, Texas, ill q fruitless endeavor tt obtain artesian water. The we'll was abandoned when it had been bored 9O( feet, but tho tubing is still intact in it This abandoned well has proved to be 6 remarkable natural phenomenon. Fol twelve hours each day furious gust O. air rushes through into the tubing, ant the next twelve hours an equally strong gust rushes out. This occurs with the utmost regularity. and, so far, no break has been noticed in the regular occurrence At first it was claimed that the air com ing out from the we'll was highly magnet ized, but later investigations have failed to prove this assertlon.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

But one day her desk was empty, and n her boarding house, in her little room. Sadie lay tossing in wild delirium of fever. At the bedside stood a stately grayu haired lady.
 Mrs. Brown," she was saying, ..has this poor girl no friends?"
 The landlady replied that '.in truth, she had never seen one have so few" And so it was that Mrs. Stanford, the wealthy occupant of Mrs. Browns first floor, nursed the girl, to whose face she had taken such fancy as she met her on her way to and from her room, back to life and health
 "How can I ever thank you?" asked Sadie, looking up gratefully into the kind old face bending above her.
 "1hank me, my sweet child, by com ing and being to me as my daughter" replied Mrs. Stanford. II am all alone in the world. and so are you."

FASHION NOTES.

The hem of @ widows veil Is deeper than ever.
 Mutton-leg sleeves are becoming to every one.
 Marrow plaitings are no longer used to finish the edge of dresses.
 Fruit Is only occasionally used as dec- oration for hats and bonnets.
 Sailor hats in colored straw are efTec- lively trimmed with black lace.
 Nainsook morning jackets have their entire front laid in narrow tucks.
 Dressy young married ladies wear white tulle veils with capote-shaped bonnets.
 Many of the summer dresses made of thin fabrics have bodices without darts.
 Mourning is worn for a longer period in the United States than any other coun- try.
 The ribbons used for sewing in rows on net dresses are generally two inches wide.
 The directoire ruf1le of white or black lace is one of the features of summer gowns.
 Yellow daffodils were the floral table decorations much used in London this spring.
 White silk brocaded or lace parasols are not seen to advantage in an uncx- pected shower. Scarf veils three-eighths of yard wide, scalloped on tho lower edge. are worn with travelling hats. Twenty yards of ribbon is very mca gci estimate of an allowance for trimming on a summer dress.

The May 90 Room a Town.

An exchange sensibly says that the
way TO boom a town is to treat its inter-
esis with the same consideration that you
would show your own business. Don't
be afraid To advertise it and don't "adver
tise il on the wrong side" Too many
people. who feel discontinued on one nc
count or another. express their dissatis-
faction openly and when among strsng>
ers. Don't hesitate to invest dollar in
some scheme for the public good, when
you can spare 1t and when the scheme
needs support. Act always as though
you want to see the town advance and
show that you will do what little pushing
you can. even IL you can't hold the rib
bons and drive. Don't he mean with
your town. Sacrifice self-interests for
the towns good. Treat 1t generously
and 1t will not forget you. The kind OF
a bottom produced 10y following these
directions is not that which comes from
option sales Of real estate, but is a good,
healthy growth.

An account Of strsnge occurrence comes
