improvements at humphreys Corner.

improvements <L n uHfpAhSys
The painters are about putting the fin
ishing touches on the Humphreys store
and dwelling at the corner of East avenue
and Main street, aud the old buildings
have been made to look younger and
brighter than ever, though they have
| stood there 25 years, having been built in
1865. Steam heat has been introduced
through the entire dwelling, which re-
quired over 1900 feet OF iron pipes to con,
yey the heat from the boilers to different
parts of the building. The entire exterior
| has been striped with tin shingles of an
attractive design, and these stripes and a
succession of hoods and projections have
added greatly to the outside appearance.
which before was entirely plain. Added
to this a tasteful baY-window has been
erected on the south end of the second
| story and a handsome veranda on the
north end. Hot and cold water is con-
veyed to all parts of the house, and taken
| altogether the convenienees inside are fully
abreast OF those that would be included il
a dwelling if newly erected. One hundred
feet of new pave ment has been laid on
East avenue, and everything about the
| corner shows evidence of thrift and
neatness.
The heating appliances and water con-
veyances were introduced by Martin An
| derson, of Bridgeton. Mr.. Anderson and
his right-hand man, Mr.. Joseph Grim,
are conceded to be experts in this branch
and 1t is needless to say the work is of the
best and most satisfactory character. The
carpenter work. wood and tin decorations,
and general oversight of the entire work,
was under the direction of JOS. G. Stretch,
who is entirely at home 10 this specialline
The masonry aud plastering was done by
| Enos G.. Bee, of Alloway, who is a most
careful and painstaking mechanic and as
good as the best. The tin roofing, cor
rugated zinc spouting and all such appli-
ances were furnished by Pancoast 4 Lip
| pincott of our town, and do credit to the
furnishers. The paint used is from the
Sherwin, Williams Paint Co, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, and was furnished by their
agent, Jos. G. Stretch. All the painting,
both inside and outside, was lone by our
townsman, VIM. n. Nixon, and assistants,
and 1t is needless to add that it is well done,
as Mr.. Nixon generally does it in that way.
The paper hangings in the new rooms adj
ded TO the dwelling were furnished and
put on by MI. d. r. Cruise of our borough,
and if there is a better man at this work
we have yet to make his acquaintance.
The entire improvements. we are Informed,
cost about So, 900 to 49, 500 and do credit
to the owner and to all the contractors and
mechanics employed.

Ballot Reform Coming.
y VI SduIA0Is
Grow, Kan.

1t is generally agreed by both par
ties where the Australian system of
voting has been tried that it contrib
utes materially to the honesty and
purity of elections. This kind Of bal
lot reform has now passed beyond
the experimental stage, and there IS
more or less consideration of its ex-
tension over the whole country. Some
such reform has been rendered nee
essary by the bribery and corruption
which of a certainty prevailed in
many places at the last Presidential
election. The people are eager to
have more of the Australian system
and a great many politicians appear
to have discovered that their oppOsIt-
ion to the reform could not stay its
progress.
But there is an opposition to the
general adoption of the Australian
system of voting, the inspiration OF
which would seem to come from q
combination of corporate and moss
back political interests. From one
direction we find the complaint arts
ing that the Democratic party suffer
ed wherever the new system of vot-
ing was used. This is not true in
the first place, and, fit were, a party
unable to comply with the rudimenta
requirements Of the new ballot law
as applied in Massachusetts, ought t.
suffer 1t will be for the good of al
parties and all voters to have clean
honestly conducted elections, and am
reform which assists in Insuring thi
most desirable result will find favo
with the people2generally, if not witt
the men who live on politics.-Atcbj

CHOW. KAN Tan. ~

CROWs KAN, Jan. 7th, 80
Ed. Herald The subject of Farm
ers Alliances is causing considerable
talk at the present time in our county
and there are a good many inquiring
in regard to the workings Of the Al
lance and many want to understand
more about it I would like to state
through the columns of your paper,
that the Alliance is a perfect working
organization IN our county. The semi
annual county meeting was held Jan.
4th at Luctor, as per notice in your
paper, and the business all gone
through with tremendously; new Of
fieers were elected for the ensuing
year and resolutions adopted Of which
you Will be furnished by the Seere-
tary, also the full proceedings. Among
the avowed purposes of our order are
to try to secure the establishment of
right and justice, and to constantly
strive to better the condition of the
laboring classes In order to carry
out these great purposes we must
necessarily cambat all forms of injus-
tice, which inevitably follow combina-
tions of all forms which are intended
to extort from US an unfair proper
ton of the wages of our labor. We
claim that we are the wealth pro
/ ducers of our Nation, and produce by
far the greater part of the exports of
our country, and the welfare of which
is necessary to the welfare of all other
I classes, and allowed only a small pro
portion of our earnings to ourselves.
We also exert only very small iii
any influence in the character of our
laws. We claim that the secret pow
er is IN organizing and standing as
one man, working unitedly, harmon
iously and letting the most good pos
sibly be done for the greatest mum
bers. The objects and principles OIL
our organization do not conflict with
the religious or political belief Of any
and should have the sympathy of al
farmers and laborers. We cordially
invite them to come in with us anc
help to forward the cause along. Any

Almost every daily paper contains
accounts of crimes committed by men
and boys against women. Husbands
shooting their wives, rejected suitors
numbering the girls who do not see fit
to marry the ruffians, and accounts of
nameless outrages on little girls and
unprotected females. It is revolving
in the extreme and makes a decent
man blush with shame and his blood
boil with Indignation at the depravity
of the male sex. When will the time
come when boys will be taught chas-
tlty as the girls are taught it; when
will men learn to respect the rights
Of women. Certainly not till public
sentiment will look upon a man who
seduces a girl and deserts her, or
commits a nameless crime upon the
person Of a woman as being as bad as
murderer. Let the press, the pull
pit, the courts. make a public senti-
ment that will bring swift and ter
rible punishment to the male brute
who attempts to wreck the life of a
girl and then like a heartless, cold
blooded fiend abandons her to the
scorn and contumely of a selfish
world

a Fiendteh Murder

Special to the Capital.
GooD1AHD, Jan. THE coroner of
this county has just completed the in
vestigation of one Of the fouIest muir
ders ever comm tied in Kansas.
On Saturday last a Mr.. BIoss, Iiv-
ing about eight miles south of Good
land came home in the evening and
found his wife, amiddle-aged woman,
lying upon the floor of the house dead
with bullet hole through the head.
Tt was at first supposed to be a case
of suicide, but investigation showed
that the woman had struggled hard
for her life.
The evidence showed that some
fend finding her alone attempted to
outrage her person; that she tried
to defend herself with a revolver
that was in the house, but that she
was overpowered by the brute, who
after beating her senseless with a
board, shot her to death with the re-
volver that he took from her.
No clue has yet been obtained as
to the murderer, and the matter is in
volved in the deepest mystery.

her married life they moved from

Crazed with LIQUOR.

New YORK, Jan. 2-Chas. Ritter, a
baker, aged 45, became crazy as a re-
suit Of too much liquid refreshment,
and while calling on two young
wemen at 80 Cherry street, drew a
knife and badly cut them both, and
then ran amuck through the tene-
ment house, creating small panic.
He was finally captured and the two
girls taken to "a hospital One of
them. Kitty Farrell, IS likely to die
from her injuries.
A favorite argument Of saIoonists
is that they oppose prohibitory laws
on the ground that they interfere
with peoples personal liberty That
means that a man must have the lib
erty to make himself insane when he
may cut and shoot and kill others. 1t
always seemed to US that sober PEG
pie had some personal rights as well
as the liquor seller and liquor drink
er, and one of those rights is to be
protected from the fendish murder
spirit engendered by the liquor traffic.
