This is, however, only one of
hundreds of opium shops in Shang-
hal. / have visited another den
upon leaving this big one. and !
found it nearly as large. 1t is said
that China uses 1890, 100000 worth
of opium every year, and it is rightly
called the curse Of the people. Opt
um is now grown in every province
in China. The seed of the poppy
is sown in November and it's juice
is collected in February and March.
The Chinese are naturally opium
smokers, but it is due to the for
eigner that the drug has become a
national evil. The officials and the
Emperor saw the danger before it
came, and they tried to keep the
opium out of the country. The
English, however,Swho were bring
ing in lAres quantities from India
were making too much money ou,
of it to let il go, Ahd one of the mos
disgraceful passages of history is
the record how John Bull, philan-
thropic and moral, as he pretends
to be, forced China to take a poison
which its officials knew would de.
grade its people. The Emperor Of
China at the start taxed the con-
sumers of opium and threatened
them with death. Opium SNUG
glers were seized and tortured, and
the native dealers were executed.
The Chinese, however, could do
nothing with the foreigners, and
they became the smugglers.
The government then appealed
to the foreigners, and one Of the
government commissioners asked
the English merchants to give up
their opium that it might be de
stroyed. They gave up 2O,OO
chests. worth $11 900, GOO. Chins
refused to pay for it on the ground
that it had not authorized its com
missioners to demand it, and tina
the opium was smuggled. For this
the British went to war with China
and through this war opened mos
of the ports. They made treat,
in which opium was not mentioned
but at the making of which th'
Chinese undoubtedly asked then
to prohibit it, and which they re
fused. At present the United State
is the only country which has mad
a treaty by which it is unlawful fo
it's citizens to sell opium TO the CHI
nese, and the poison is now brough
into China by the millions Of pound
a year. The Chinese. finding ths
they could not prohibit it, have b.
gun to raise it themselves, and, {
above stated, il is now grown j

tha. pneumonia was caused more
frequently by staying indoors in i'll.

and that more cases of the disease
occurred in the months of March

THE Gospel Meeting of the
Ketchum w. G. T. U. in Union
Church, last Sunday evening, was
by far the most successful and en-
tertaining one yet held. It was
combined with Easter exercises OF
the Sunday School. The church
was decorated with plants and flow-
era which shed their beauty upon
the scene. Conspicuous among
other lovely flowers was the pure
and modest Gala Lily, which
adorned the pulpit-a fit emblem
of the resurrection of our Saviour.
The pupils of the Sunday School
with their respective teachers and
banners, made most pleasing pic
ture, as they marched into the
church singing happy process
sional hymn. After the usual pre-
liminary religious exercises, the
choir-Mrs. A. ]. Pinkham, Miss
Sara Van Wormer and Robert War
ren-rendered with fine effect the
anthem: "Consider the Lilies.
The fine music furnished by the
members of the choir was one oi
the most enjoyable features Of the
programme. Mrs. T. T. Hunting
ton, the Treasurer of the Union
favored the audience with reading
in an entertaining style, "Broidery
Work" Then followed a beautiful
solo by Mrs. A. J. Pinkham "Not
a Sparrow Falleth." It was sung
in highly artistic style, and held
the audience spell-bound until the
last sweet note had waited away
Rev. George Richie followed will
a brief and entertaining address tt
the Sunday School. He chose fol
| the subject of his remarks, th'
| flowers, the analogy between then
and human life, and happily un
folded moral lessons of value to tn
young. It evidently put some o
them to rejecting how they nigh
make their lives as pure and beau
tiful as the Gala Lilies their pas
: tor talked about. After the SOU
stirring anthem by the choir: "Ir
cline thine ear" Mrs. T. w. Gillett.
the first Vice President of the Unior
read in a very admirable style
"Wrestling and Blessing" a pointe
and pithy address. The profoun
attention with which it was listene
to by the audience was heartfelt
appreciation for the beautiful sue
gestive thoughts which were s
touchingly expressed by the reade
The Rev. Mrs. Richie, Vice Pres
dent and Superintendent of Chi
dren's work in the w. G. T. U. {

prolonged absence. The Unio
welcomes her back, and it is earl
estly hoped that through her effor1
much good will be accomplishe
in the department of which she

J, The President, Mrs. Brodhea
closed with a few pleasant and a.
propriate remarks. After liber
collection was taken up, the Do
ology was sung and the meetir
was adjourned.

If all had hearts like those which
beat 30 lightly in the bosoms of the
young and beautiful, what a heaven
this earth would be. If, while our
bodies grow old and withered, our
hearts could but retain their early
youth and freshness of what avail
would be our sorrows and suffer
ings? But the faint image of Eden
which is stamped upon them in
childhood, chafes and rubs in oul
rough struggles with the world, and
soon wears away; too often to leave
nothing but q mournful blank re

John BisselI of this place says he
has for many years carefully sought
for the cause of the death Of cattle
which have been turned into stalk
fields, He is now fully convinced
that he knows what causes the disease.
When the corn does not mature we'll,
but is soft, there is nourishment left
in the stalks, and those years cattle do
not die from the stalk disease. :"
When the crop is good and the corn
sound, the stalks are dry and hard as
a dead stick. They contain no nOurish-
ment and clog up the stomach as
would so many dry chips Of wood.
If cattle are allowed to run IN the
stock fields, they should each day be
fed on some nourishing, succulent
food.

Success

Success
The camp fire and supper given by
the Phill1psburg Post Of the G. A. r..
last Tuesday evening at this place was
largely attended and was a perfect
success financially, OratOrically, mus
icalIy, and periodically.
After the banqueting the people as
sembled IN the court room, which was
crowded to suffOcatiOn, to hear the
speaking and music Frank Strain
presided. Speeches were made by
Elder Decker and Dr.. Wallace of
Phillipsburg, EX-COngressman Han
back and Hon. w. II. Mcbride of Os-
born and Major Drumhiller of Logan.
Hanback,, Mcbride and Wallace made
the principal addresses and they were
full Of wit, pathOs, elOquence and pa
triotism. The quartette consisted of
3. b. Sewell, @. A. Lewis, 7. n. Jones
and John Dawson, and their songs
were well selected and well executed
and inspiring. The PhilIipsburg cor
net and string bands and the cOrnet
band of Marvin furnished the instru-
mental music.
Mr.. Hanback, offered the following
resolutions which were unanimously
adopted:
WHEREAS, The soldiers of the Union
who now have their homes in Phillips
county, Kansas, assembled around a
camp fire recall again the story of
the brave and enduring effort which
characterized the loyal endeayor of
the defendants of the Union. In this
we bore our part and we have a right
to a voice in behalf Of such legIsla-
ton by congress as will mete out JUS
tice to our comrades who are suffer
ing from disability or disease incurred
in the time of duty and in the Nations
{ defense. We therefore demand:
/ 1st The passage of a law repeating
! the limitations in the Arrears of the
Pension Act, so that all may be placed
| upon an equal basis.
] I'd. The enactment Of the Deepen
i dent Pension Bill into a law.
/ Sd. A simpIIficatiOn of the rules Of
the pension department so as to adj
vance and not as now retard the al
/ lOwance Of. pensions justly due but
seriously delayed by technichalities
useless and hurtful.
18th. There should be granted a rea-
sOnable pension in keeping with the
suffering endured and disabilities IN
Cured to the soldiers and sailors who
were victims Of the cruelty and bar
barities practiced in southern prisons,
and the horrors of which were with
out example in any country pretend
ing to be under the influence OF
Christian civilization. The failure
heretofore to enact such a law is a
standing disgrace which should be
speedily effaced by legislation, which
! to some extent would tend to relieve
the pain and suffering so heroically
endured.
9Th We endorse that part of the
Presidents Message which refers tc
and recommends the increase of the
pension list so as to include all those
who are depending upon manual la
Dor for support and prevented from
doing so by reason Of disability re
ceived since discharge from service.
9Th. We call upon our senators and
representatives to further this oul
reasonable demand by earnestly la
, boring to secure the passage of laws
t in spirit with these propositions.
