The following is taken from the West
ern Veteran: While at Independence last
month we had the pleasure of meeting the
distinguished member of Mcpherson post,
Gen. w. r. Brown, who commanded troops
in Virginia during the war He is now 81
year old, but still quite hearty. He re-
lated little incident to us of the Vir-
ginia campaign, concerning our past de-
partment commander, Milton Stewart, of
Wichita. During a certain engagement,
Mai Hall of Stewards regiment was
mortally wounded and left the field. Capt.
Stewart remained with him TO care for
him, and thus fell into the hands of the
enemy. The major died and Capt. Stew
art buried him with the aid of fire shovel,
and then managed to get back Into the
Union lines.

SUGAR BEErs GROWN IN sEDGwICK.

Mr.. \. Martinson yesterday exhibited in
this office a specimen of sugar beets
grown on his farm out on the COwskin in
this county, this season. He only had
few seed an consequently got but a small
crop of the beets, not enough to expert
ment with to ascertain the saccharine
yielding quality. The beets are large and
well developed, however, thus demonstrat-
ing the adaptabilty of our soil TO the
successful growth of that important and
valuable crop. The only encouragement
the farmers need to engage largely in the
pro uction of sugar beets is convenient
market for the crop.

GRAND HOLIDAY OPENING.

The public gaze" last evening was en-
tirely directed at the tastefully arranged
stock of holiday goods opened for public
inspection by Chas. L. Champion, at his
bookstore on East Douglas avenue. The
crowds who awaited themselves of the in
vitation of Mr.. Champion to attend this
opening, were simply bewildered by the
elegance of the display pres -nted for the
inspection of critical visitors
The throng was immense, and we might
add intense. and was composed principally
of ladies, who good naturally allowed
themselves to be squeezed and costumes
damaged in order that they might get a
look at the many beautiful things exhib-
tied
Noticeable among the many works of
art, were lot of decorated japanese jars,
a fine display of baskets, both lined and
unlined. mass of decorated plaques, and
various curios that cannot be specially
mentioned.
Among the books are to be found all
standard works in any style of binding de-
sired, and the poets and many other works
can be seen bound in late style of leather
known as ooze, and finished in oXydized
mountings and clasps.
Music was furnished by Shaw's orches-
ira and was rendered with the usual bril-
liant style and forte which characterizes
that organization.
Although having done a large business
since coming to Wichita, Mr.. Champion is
prepared to do much larger bushes dur
ing the coming year than ever before as
everything in his entire stock is of the
newest style and the latest novelties to be
found.

The Alliance is not resting on its oars
since the recent election, as has been sup

weekly meetings and, it is said, with in
creasing interest in the workings and pur-
poses of the order at each meeting. One
Alliance in this county is increasing its
membership at the rate of six or eight at
every meeting. 1t is not to be supposed,
however, that just anybody and every
body that applies for membership is re-

plants of the common foxglove which
beside the flowers of the ordinary sort
bore well developed Japan lilies Oh the
same spikes with the other flowers. The
explanation is furnished by similar
freak in Salem garden.
A gentleman much interested in horti-
culture recently brought to our notice a
spike of foxglove from his garden, the
lower portion of the spike being covered
with the flowers of the usual form, but
at the summit it bore flower closely re,
sembling lily, yet of the same texture
and marking as the other flowers. A
close examination showed II to be Gu.

five separate foxglove flowers could be
counted mixed into the bell shaped flow,
