and may be your subscribers and
readers would like to learn how we
do, WE'LL we are pretty well and
getting along fairly. The death angel
has made but few calls among us this
year, Angels without wings have
gladdened the homes of many, and
we have had but little sickness. OF
course we have some who "die daily"
the "feeble that wrap the athletic
in his shioud." These | do not in
clude in our invalid corps. Such ca
ses are not alarming and do not call
for tears or sympathy or mention.
They do not die once for all like 9th
ers, but commonly attain a green old
age, floating away piecemeal like
thistle down. Two cases Of cancers
are noteworthy. One was treated at

makes the treatment of This disease a

Senator Ingalls,, being asked
regarding the re-submission Of
the Prohibition issue to the
people of Kansas said: ere
submission? There may be
such a thing talked about by
Kansas City brewers and a few
politicians in Kansas, but so
far as the great body Of the
people is concerned the idea
ofresurrecting the question is
not for one moment enter
tanned. Kansas has the best
temperance legislation in the
world, and the only change
that is likely to be made is to
make it stronger. The senti-
ment of the state is ovcrwhelm-
lngly in favor of prohibition,
and there is every probability
that it will remain so. What
ever other states may decide,
the great body of the Kansas
people stand united against
the saloon. The result is that
a generation is growing up that
has never seen a saloon.
