The Sahna Daily Gazette, after q
heroic effort of six months to keep its
head above water, gave up the unequal
struggle the first of the week and was
swept under by the TO it, resistlesS tide.
The Gazette was a well edited paper and
a credit to the profession, its publishers
and the town, but it takes money to run
a daily newspaper with Geographic dis
patches, and more of it than the Gazette
was able to realize from its business.
SaIina is not without a daily paper, how
ever. The Evening Republican is still in
the field and appears 10 be amply able to
supply the demand for and fulfill the re
quirements of local paper, and being
without competition now it ought TO
succeed well.

It's banner floating high encourages

THE UPBUILDING OF KANSAS.
''There is no room for hesitation in any
enterprise which can be justified only
by success" is a maxim that was old
when the ''Sni Hills viper press was
sending out attachments TO kill 'yan-
KEGS" for going to Kansas its people 10
bless.
The implied undertaking on the part
of Kansans by coming TO Kansas was
to upbuild Kansas, not Gall City, and
why there should be temporizing spirit
on the part of Kansas is something that
the writer hereof cannot understand.
Yet there are those who believe, or affect
10. that we can gain point by spaniel
fawuing'' at the feet OF the ''viDer at the
mouth Of the kaw.
So long as Kansas are content 70 lick
crumbs that fall from Kansas City table
so long will Kansas be dependent.
Kansas City stands today in the most
periious situation that ever threatened IT.

IF the Democratic factions really want
to come together, discarding all bygoneS
and meeting on a common level, the first
thing for them to do will be to choose a
leader. With an eye to the eternal fit
ness of things, Hon. Bill Morrison IS the
man, for with all the vicissitudes Of the
party, and his Gown relegation by his
district he has never lost his horizontal
ity. William would unquestionably

The absence of chinch bug ravages in
Kansas this season, heretofore referred
to, is accounted Tor. They've got the
cholera, which has not only taken their
appetite but, according to Prof. Snow,
taken the bugs off also. All right:
thanks to the science of bugology and
physics we now know how to get rid OF
the pests at any time and in short order.
All that is necessary to be done is to in
troduce the cholera, either by turning
loose a lot of the bugs sick with the dis
ease, or in the absence of infected bugs,
to scatter the germs of the disease,
which can be gathered during the cpl
demic period and preserved against the
next appearance of the pests. Great is
science! Great is human ingenuity!

The announcement that the Chesa-
peake & Ohio canal that was SO badly
damaged by the recent foods through
out the country traversed by it, would
not be repaired, seems to have been pre-
mature. Attorney General White. of
Maryland, says that in his opinion the
company can issue bends for the restor-
alton of the canal. This viii be glad
news for Senator German, who has
found that canal to be Democratic
bonanza. 1t was at one time feared that
as an annex to the party in Maryland its
usefulness was gone, but MIR. White de-
clares that Democracy shall not lose its
grip.

BUT THEY HANG MEN IN TOPEKA.

Justice in this world seems to grow
more laggard, but if Mr.. d. w. Bout
well, of Topeka, is not afforded an OBJ
portunity by the courts to make some
body sweat for the treatment to which
the officers of that city subjected him,
then there is an inexcusable looseness
somewhere. Boutwell, was a Fifty-six
Beecber rifle settler in Kansas, of un-
improbable integrity, whose convictions
of right were as unwavering IS was the
faith of the martyrs. The legislature of
Kansas once gave him a thousand dol
lars for an act of bravery in saving the
state. Boutwell, it seems refused some
time since to give policeman the names
of the men boarding at his house sub
iect to poll tax. For this he was thrown
down, dragged along the ground into
court, then dragged out by the heels to
a rock pile where he was further mall
treated for refusing to work. We knew
Boutwell, thirty years ago as man who
had two beliefs, God and freedom. If
he had been man Of property and
standing he could have shot the police
man to the death without mourning any
chances of trouble; but while he was
man among TIE best of Topekas
men of an early day, he
had, like FREQ Ortman, got down,
and it's all right for a police bully to
abuse any man who is down. Fred
Ortman was happy hearted German
who laughed and drank his beer, was
well-off, respected and happy. D. ".
Boutwell, believed Gods hand laid the
foundations of Kansas, of which he was
one of the willing instruments, and he
preached occasionally. Being well-off
and respected he too was happy in those
long ago days. But the years in lifting
up also pull down. Lots Of fellows in
Topeka have been lifted up, but here
are two men, however they may be
deprecated and sneered at by Topeka,
who, being men once are presumably
still in some degree capable Of feeling
and of thinking, are down, down to
where even justice, to say nothing Of
sympathy, can reach them. \ Topeka pa
per sneered at the EAGLES sympathies
for poor Fred Ortman," nevertheless
we are sorry for both Ortman and Bout
well and wish, heartily, that they could
have their own. or at least show for
| some small portion of the results of their
! honest. earnest lives.

The Wichita EAGLE says the Republi-
cans of Kansas are ripe for rebellion.
About what? Because they can't get their
beer? The should have kicked years ago
or forever after hold their peace-Kansas
City Gazette.
Who said anything about beer in that
connection? Both Eskridge and Martin
talk as if they thought revolution in the
Republican party impossible unless beer
should be the casus beli. Do these ed
itors think and dream of nothing else?
Is beer such desirable yet such an I'M
attainable article in the purlieuS of Kan
sas City, Kan, or is Eskridge oblivious
of the fact that whole car load of that
prohibited invigorator was lately cap
tured at Emporia. No, sirs, the EAGLE

SUGGESTIONS FOR sICK-RooMs.

A large, sunny room should be select
ed for the invalid; If without carpet,
so much the better. Sunshine as dis
infectant is worth bushels of chloride of
lime.
The bed linen should be changed at
least once in three days; the blankets
once week, those that have been re-
moved being hung in the open air for q
few hours, then thoroughly aired in a
warm room.
The room should be kept thoroughly
ventilated and at temperature not
lower than 6S degrees or higher than 70
degrees. If the patient is kept warm
air may be freely admitted without the
least danger.
The carpet of sick room should be
lightly brushed once a day with a
wetted broom. The furniture and
woodwork should be wiped with a
damp cloth. Dry busters and feather
brushes are worse than useless.
A sheet folded once lengthwise, laid
across the bed. with the upper edge
just touching the pillows and the ends
tightly tucked under the mattresses will
be found to add greatly to the patient s
comfort. 1t does not wrinkle like a
single sheet, and crumbs may be readily
brushed off 1t.
The nurses dress should invariably
be neat, tasteful and pretty. Slippers
or boots Of felt should be worn. To be
continually smoothing the bed, poster
ing the patient with sympathy, and say
ing dozen times an hou: GLOW do you
feel now p is enough to drive o sick
man wild.
The cross sheets should invariably
be kept free from crumbs and wrinkles,
as these are frequent cause of bed
sores. Whenever the least redness shows
on the patients body the skin must be al
once bathed with alcohol, thoroughly
dried and busted with powdered oxide
Of zinc.
Meals for invalids should look as
tempting as possible. The tray should
be covered with the whitest napkin,
and the silver, glass and china should
shine with cleanliness. The patient
should not be disguised by a display OF
too much food, and should not be con-
suited beforehand as to what he will eat
or drink.
In bathing the invalid should never
uncover too large surface at once.
Pin blanket round the shoulders,
fastening it behind, and remove the
nightdress under that. Put the hand
under the blanket and sponge the skin.
q small portion at time. A woman
hair should be combed every day If she
is able TO bear the fatigue. If II has be.
