VERY IMPORTANT.

At the Ford County Farmers Institute
last Thursday Hon. Martin Mohler, Sec
rotary of tint state board of agriculture.
was called upon TO explain away some of
the fears which farmers have in giving
full and complete returns to assessors and
the census takers. These agricultural
statistics are very important, and that
Ford county may sum up such showing
as it rightfully deserves we urge our
farmers and stock growers to withhold
no item of property that will In any way
cause our county to compare unfavora-
bly, with neighboring counties. When
you have done this you have done your
reasonable duty; the county can then
make truthful report to the state. and
the state to the United States agricultural
department, and the final summing up
will give Kansas such a showing as to
place her we'll along in the front rank Of
the states in the Union.
For the benefit of such farmers as were
unable to attend the Institute, We quote
from Mr.. Mohler on this subject as fol-
lows: s.Ira, that there Is no connection
whatever between the assessment Of
property for the purpose Of taxation. and
the gathering of statistics for the use of
the agricultural department. A wide
spread misapprehension of this kind has
caused great injustice to many counties
and to the state. Second, that the provis-
ion of law for gathering agricultural sta
tisrics is for the interest and protection Of
farmers, and against the interests of
grain gamblers and stock syndicates.
Last year many Of our farmers refused
to give the statistics which the assessor
is required by law to take, honestly be-
lieving that these statistics are used by
some one and in some way unknown to
them against the interests of the produc-
ing class. The impression is wrong, and
should be removed from the minds of
farmers
AS the assessors and census takers will
soon call upon you, it is hoped our citi-
zens will bear in mind the foregoing re-
marks and cheerfuliy and honestly re-
spond to every question asked. Do not
try to dodge this or that, but be honest
with yourselves, your county and your
state.

Temptation! What is the nee Of It:
Why could not man have lived. grown.
developed, without it? What is there bat
harm that comes from it? Such as these
are questions asked by many about rs.
"What is the use of temptation is q very
pertinent question. 1t has at least three
beneficial effects upon those who regard it
rightly: first, it tests; second. 1t develops
third, it strengthens. Without sufficient
tests we should never know the kind Of
mental and moral fibre of which we are
made. We should not like to employ a
man to work for MS who had never been
tried. nor had not in any way been tested
as to his ability. The proof of genuine
manhood lies In the fact Of successful en-
durance of trial, of'testing. Many are not
able to stand the tests and fall by the way
side.
In the second place temptation develops.
The very fact that temptation comes against
one leads to the thought of how to over
come it. This develops all the mental and
moral faculties together. Their. exercise
enlarges their capabilities. But latent Ca
pacities never used are never developed.
If, however, the temptation comes, and
there is no resistance to it, there will be no
development of moral or mental power;
but wrong bias will at once be given to
the faculties, and the one tempted will he
weakened for right and worthy action. and
strengthened for meanness. 1t does not
follow, therefore, that because one is
tempted he must yield. 10 do SO is to 90
to ruin.
IT I
Temptation in the third place strength
ems. The constant use of our faculties not
only develops them, but also strengthens
them. Every temptation witllstood and
overcome gives strength for future moral
battles. Every temptation yielded to, but
weakens the powers of resistance; and
thereby strengthens the evil desires and
passions that have been asserting them
selves. Without temptation man could not
well he a free moral being, and grow and
Some one says, "Could not
God have created man and have kept him
from temptation?'' Yes, doubtless; but
man would then have been like machine.
Would any one prefer being machine, or
''wOOden man." rather than free being,
able to resist temptation? Show me the
man, woman, or child who does right be-
cause it is right to do right; because that
one loves the right, the true, the good,
rather than because there is no temptation,
and will show you a true, courageous,
brave man, woman or child.-one that can
be trusted. Hence instead of being orr
ruin, temptation should teach us our weak
and strong points Of character by testing
us. And our own good sense and judy
ment should direct our energies 50 that We
shall overcome temptation and thereby
develop and strengthen us; terrifying the
weak places, keeping intact the strong
ones, and thus becoming ardent lovers of
the true, the beautiful. the good.

In the celebrated case Of Stone Il
Cove vs.. this city the jury went out
about o'clock on Friday OF last week
and came to IN agreement at2 o'clock
Saturday morning. The verdict rem
dered was In favor Of Stone u Cove,
giving them $3.50 damages for rental
value and 500 for damage to ma
chinery, etc. An injunction was also
sued for to remove the dam, and this
question will be finally argued before
Judge McCue at Oswego next Satur-
day. 1t is quite probable that the III
junction will be granted.
So far as damages are concerned the
city has come out much better than 1t
did before the referee, who gave the
plaintiffs damages In the sum OF $ll0O.
Under the statute law of the state the
city will doubtless also escape the
payment of the costs in this case $500
or over) as well as in the two Com
mons cases. The law says that in suits
against cities of the second class for
unliquidated damages the city cannot
be held for the costs unless demand
upon the city council was male for the
amount claimed prior to the beginning
of the suit. A decision on this ques-
ton will be made after the injunction
question has been argued.

OBITUARY.

Died, in this city May l, 1890, of
scarlet fever, Julia Helen Perkins,
daughter of Ira C. and Ella B. Per-
kins, aged five years, five months and
twenty-four days.
Funeral services were held on the
lawn at the residence Thursday after
noon, Rev. j. T. Cooter officiating, and
were attended by large circle of SYM
pathizing friends of the family.
Little Helen was an exceptionally
sweet and aniable child and her un-
timely death is sad and terrible blow
upon her parents, relatives and play
mates. She was i'll about three weeks
and during much Of the time her suf-
ferings were of the most intense char
acter and proved to be beyond the re-
lief of medical skill.
During the past three weeks the en-
tire family consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Perkins, Mrs. Burgess and the two re-
naming children, Murray and Carrie,
were confined to their beds for time
with Helen, but We are glad to say
all are very much better now.

in our statement that the butter and
cheese factory would start up last
Monday. We were assured by sever
al that the cans and supplies would be
here by the time our readers got our

supplies did not come. nor have the
company been able to hear from their
order, though they wrote three or four
times. A new order has been sent to
Kansas City for supplies which will
doubtless be here 70.day or MOndsy.

be little unfortunate at the start, but
perhaps it will prove to be all the bet

Epidemic cop.,r,r,,.

Details OF an epidemic Of consumn-
ton in a business establishment Of
Paris have been collected by DIR. Mar
fan, of the faculty of medicine. A
man who was employed at that place
twenty-four years had the CONSUMPTION
during the last three years of the time
and died January 6. 1873, at the age
OF forty. He coughed and spat on the
hoor for three years, and did not leave
his work until three months before his
death. Since that time, fifteen out of
twenty-five employees have died, and
all but one from pulmonary comsump-
ton. The room in which these per-
sons worked was small-giving each
individual less than $50 cubic feet of
air-space-the floor was full of cracks
and dirty, and the persons employed
frequently arrived before the dust from
sweeping-laden with the dried expec-
torations of the consumptives-had
settled. 1t is regarded as very proba-
bic that the tuberculous dust was an
essential factor in spreading the dis
ease.

Unreliable Water Filters.

In search for the cause OF an cpl.
demic of typhoid fever which visited
Berlin early last year. the water sup
ply was suspected of having distrib-
utcd the germs, and this belief was
strengthened by the fact that the freez-
ing of some of the filters had made it
necessary to work others at an unusual
rate. DR.. c. Frankel and Mr.. c. Piefe
have since made experiments to test
the efficacy of sand filters-such as are
ordinarily employed-in freezing wa
ter from dangerous bacteria. Two fill
tiers exactly like those at the water
works were used, one being worked at
the same rate as at the water works
during the partial freezing, and the
other one-third as rapidly. 1t was
found that both the disease germs and
the ordinary water bacteria passed
through both filters, the proportion be-
ing greater the greater the rapidity of
filtration

OUR NEW ASSESSOR.
He Was Too Jealous, and Did His Duty
Too Well.

We had always thought that as n COM
munity, we, the people of Cross Roads
Town, would be entirely happy if we
could secure as assessor and tax col
lector an honest reliable and Jealous Of
fetal. We see our mistake now-our
happiness was all in pursuit and
and not in possession. We have got the
model official, and we are more unhappy
than we were.
The only fault we have to find with
him is that he is too Jealous. higgins
swung a new sign outside of his grocery
store the other day, and our assessor,
whose name is higgins, happened along,
began to admire it. higgins had painted
it. and he was fiattered with higgins
evident admiration, until he (Miggins)
asked him for IS.
Three dollars! What's that for?"
'Oh that's the tax on signs. Comes
under the head of improved real estate, ;
you know"
higgins paid it to avoid trouble, but
swears he'll get even with higgins on
weight.
Farmer Jones was building hen coop
last week, when higgins swept like an
avenging Nemesis up the road and down
on the unconscious Jones.
''Ah that's nice hen coop. Cost quite
little sum, should imagine"
'Oh, yes" said Jones. But don't
mind the expense"
mo; and besides it's good thing for
the town." said higgins. 1.-TWO dollars,
please. / have to make my report this
afternoon, and it's we'll TO have it all

CONSERVATION.

month, you know; we thought we d
make it light for you. The streets are
to be graded, and the town is growing.

ton was defeated.

yesterday. He was moving his house
from one lot to another. charged him
with three separate assessments--the
lot from which the house went tho lot

midway between them. He objected on
the ground that this made his taxes

to be. | said an assessor was bound to

that's the way | found them. 1t was
not my fault; had to do my duty. l
assure you he was quito violent Good
day.
Ard higgins hurried after Boggs,
whom he saw passing down the road.
Tho other day he wanted to tax tho
Widow Higgins on the elegant rosewood
coffin in which her husband was to be
buried. He wanted to go down on the
day of the funeral and collect, but we
reasoned with and told him it was real
ly not her coffin, but his; and that she
could not be assessed on what did not
belong to her, and that it was obviously
impossible to levy on Higgins. 1t did
not seem reasonable to our assessor that
dead man should not pay for indulg-
ing in luxuries of that kind. But up
to certain point we think it is necos-
sary to restrain higgins. 1t is no use
to reason with him. He is too faithful
official for that He wants simply to do
his duty. He started out for Mrs. Smiths
when he heard that lady had twins, UNI
der the impression that he could collect
from her under tho poll tax. He was
with difficulty dissuaded from this.
