There is peculiar dismalness in the sur
roundings of sick-bed from nightfall till
dawn in India. There is the long night, the
leaden-footed hours of which are marked
by the slow mournful wall of the distant
Watchman-"All's well !"-the occasional
buzz and crackle of a flying beetle that has
dashed into the fame of the night-light, the
dismal inquiring howl of a horde of jackals
as they sniff about with their ''Where-
where-where-wh-e- sudden
chill of the hour before dawn, when rats
run riot and wild-cocks crow. A foul dank
air spreads among the trees. and from the
earth a chill vapor rises. From out of it
come things innumerable, with faint eerie
rustles and tappings as they creep-scorpi-
ons and reptiles which feel the sudden cold
and seek to insinuate their bodies into cosy
hooks, beneath carpets and pillows, or with
in sponges and boots.
The Colonel's face was ashen gray as he
sat by the bedside of the wounded officer
his lips were set, his eyes hollow with de-
spair. About his heart there was a deadly
pain. The doctor had said that Jim Blake's
hours were numbered.
''Will he live to see and recognize his
wife," the Colonel asked more than once.
The evasive answers cut him to the

It was only four-wheeled cab. laden
with luggage, driving away, and five little
hearts that were breaking, and five little
sodden handkerchiefs that would not wave
because they were so wet and heavy with
tears, and, when the cab had turned the cor
ner and they had looked their last upon the
dear mothers pale tear-stained face. only
five miserable little children who refused tc
be comforted.
When Jims letter, with its piteous ap-
peal, first came, the mothers heart said
No" The letter arrived on Sunday
morning, and it kept Nelly from church.
All through the long hours of that Sunday
the mothers heart said No"
Darling mother, you won't leave usP
pleaded the children; for to these most
biased of little counsellors had Nelly con-
fided her case. There are five of US and
only one of him"

lings, while he is all alone" she answered,
feebly.
1t was hard fight that day; but at even
Nelly arose, put off her sackcloth and ashes,
and bravely went forth to church with her
children. There were questioning and
mournful looks among the little ones for
they guessed that their mother had made up
their mind
''She is going to leave US !" they whispered
to each other; and they were right
That night there was peace between the
mother and children

The people Of Bliss, Logan county,
have been greatly troubled by the fail.
ure Of the mail trains, and when they
do pass they often fail to leave or take
up the mail. Fully half the time the
past two months the mail has failed
in some way. Often three or four
days in succession the mail was not
taken from the catcher; often it was
not thrown off, letters being thus de.
layed. So last week the citizens sent
. formal petition to the First Assistant
Post Master General to establish q
horse route between Shoshone and
Bliss. Some four hundred persons
are greatly inconvenien need by the pres
ent gross neglect on the part Of the
Post Office Department in addition to
the usual delays on the railway.

RESOLUTION OF ALTURAs COUNTY BAR
ON THE DEATH OF E.. RICHARDS.
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased the All
wise Judge of the Universe to remove
from our midst E h. Richards, for
many years the resident acting clerk
of this county, to that Court of Last
Resort beyond the grave; therefore
RESOLVED, That we, the attorneys
and officers of this Court, tender to
the relatives Of the deceased our heart
fett sympathies in this their hour of
mourning; that we express our deep
regret over their loss OF relative and
friend.
That we feel that this Court and
the public have suffered great loss
in the death of this honest, capable
and efficient officer, in whom all had
the fullest confidence.
That as his death takes from US the
Probate Judge elect of this county,
we realize that this bar and this county
have great reason to regret the event,
which deprves us of the opportunity
OF being benefited by his experience
and wisdom in the honorable office to
which his fellow. citizens had elected
him, and in which his industry, cap
acity and honesty would have rendered
his services great public good.
That we move that this Court do
now adjourn for this day in honor Of
his memory, and that a copy Of these
resolutions he spread on the journal.
The court thereupon, in respect to
the memory of the deceased, adjourned
until next Friday, at 10 o'clock A. NJ.

Judge Foster Discharges the Original Pack
age Men on Habeas Corpus.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 2.-The hearing
in the Lawrence original package
habeas corpus cases came up before
Judge Foster yesterday afternoon. The
first case tried was that of E. E. Mar
shall, of Lawrence. The State was rep
resented by County Attorney NevisOn,
OF Douglas, and Attorney-General Kel-
-ogg and the petitioner by Henry L.
Call The evidence showed that Mar
shall had sold beer in the original pack
ages received from his house in Kansas
City. The Attorney-General and county
attorney contended that packages of
that sort were not original packages,
since they were put up in convenient
sizes to evade the law and suit the re-
tail trade.
Marshall was released and in ordering
this, Judge Foster said that the dis
senting judge of the Supreme Court had
made the scope of the Iowa decision and
of the law as it now stands very clear,
having expressly declared that whisky
and beer might be imported from one
State into another and sold by the keg,
case, bottle or in any quantity large or
small, just so it remained in the shape
in which it was put up for shipment
The cases of Julius Antoine and w.
L. Burns, both of this city, were then
tried and the defendants were dis
charged.
The arguments of counsel in the in
junction proceedings brought to restrain
County Attorney Welch and Sheriff
WilkersOn from further proceedings
against the original package agents,
were completed and Judge Philips gave
the attorneys three days in which to
file briefs supplemental to their argu-
ments, when he will take the case
under advisement Judge Philips left
for Kansas City in the afternoon. 1t is
probable that several days will elapse
before decision is reached in the mat

The condition of corn in Ohio, nli-
nois, Missouri and Minnesota is about
the same as last reported. In Minneso-
to and South Dakota cutworms have in
ficted considerable damage in some To-
calities. Our Sphinx County reporter
estimates the injury in his vicinity from
this cause at so per cent. Fields are
weedy in many parts of Illinois, where
rains have prevented cultivation. In
portions of Missouri there is need of
rain. Iowa fields are also weedy, but
the crop has made considerable gain In
that State and Kansas during the past
week Great improvement is reported
In Michigan, Nebraska and Indiana.
The condition of oats has improved
some in Missouri and Michigan. In the
latter State oats approximate the usual
average. Great improvement is re-
ported to have taken place in many
counties in Kansas and Indiana. Con-
tinued decline is the report from a ma
tority of the correspondents in Indiana
and Kentucky. The latter State does
not promise more than one-third of a
crop. Iowa and Ohio reports also show
decline. In Nebraska oats are heading
out very short
