The FIGHT ON INGALLS,.
The Alliance Movement in Kansas to De.
feat Senator Ingalls,.

| feat Senator Ingalls,.
The action of the Kansas Farmers
Alliance in its recent State convention
at Topeka in declaring against the re-
election of Senator Ingalls,, has made
the Senator's friends in Kansas very
uneasy. 1t is conceded that the ALI
ance will be a most powerful facttr in
Kansas politics this fall. Though they
determined not to organize poll !ical
party they announced their intentit n of
capturing the next Legislature. They
have firmly resolved to support no one
who is not member of the Alliance.
1t is evident that the next Legislature
will be made up largely of the
Granger" element, and if the Alliance
secures a majority, as now seems
quite possible, there is not mu,h
show for Senator Ingalls,. lIe
has been arraigned in very Sc
we're language by the Alliance in
its State assembly and in various county
conventions throughout this State. They
allege that in his eighteen years service
as United States Senator, he has never
championed one measure that was in.
tended to benefit the agricultural class.
They admit that he is brilliant man,
but declare that his ability has never
been exercised for the benefit of his
constituents. AS yet, the farmers have
not named their candidate for Senator.
Among those who have been mentioned
are Judge w. A. PETER, editor of the
Kansas Farmer; Major William Sims,
State Treasurer, and A. w. Smith, pres
ident of the State Board of Agriculture.
Neither of these gentlemen are as
pirants.
The friends of Senator Ingalls, assert
that the fight against him in the Farm
ers' Alliance is being engineered by
men who have always been opposed to
him, and. are not Republicans. The
great body of farmers, they say, are
Republicans and will support Senator
Ingalls,.

Dr. John Bulls sar.aparilIa.

Our druggists tell us they are selling .
great deal OF DIR. John Bulls Sarsaparilla
1t has not been advertised much in this
vicinity, and we take it that the large de-
mand for it is attributed merely to its ex-
traOrdinary merit as q blood purifier and
strengthening Alternative. We know of
several instances where it has put sick men
and women on their feet after physicians
had exhausted their skill. 1t is medicine
that certainly goes right to the spot, the
very first dose seeming to do good. The
blood is the life and we believe there is no
other medicine made so powerful as a blood
purifier as this remedy. And it does look
as if when the blood is made pure person
naturally gets well. We advise any of our
subscribers who are ailing and feel sick from
any cause whatever to give DIR. Bulls Sar-
saparilla an immediate trial.-Covington

General Crook as a Huntsman.

General Crook was very fond of hunt
ing" said Lieutenant Kennon, land was
one of the best shots | ever saw. When
he was young officer he always did the
hunting for his mess. In those days
sometimes the mess bills exceeded the
officers salaries, and have heard GEN
eral Crook tell how they made him
caterer, and by his intimate knowledge
of the Indians economical methods of
cooking, and his luck at hunting the
mess was soon able to declare dividends.
l have been with him on many hunting
trips, and l never saw better or
steadier shot Sage hens are not the
easiest game to bag, and yet have seen
him repeatedly drop bird out of flock
with each barrel, but not only that, he
would kill a chicken every time. His
eye was so quick that while aiming he
could select the chicks instantaneOusly.
With all his experience and trials Gen
eral Crook was as simple as child. He
was straightforward and truthful. and
had no patience with concealment or
trickery. lie never broke his word to
white man or red man. Washington

CAMERA AND PHoNOGRAPH.
Wizard Edison Works Out a Combination
of the Two.

Wizard Edison Works Out a Combination
of the Two.
Thomas a. Edison has been at work
for long time on a novel scheme in
connection with the photograph. 1t
consists in the application of instantan-
eouS photography to the illustration of
Photographic sounds. Last spring he
began exhaustive experiments with this
end in view. To prosecute them it be-
came necessary to erect special build
ing where the camera would be entirely
free from the disturbing tremor in the
main labratory caused by the jar of tbs
machinery.
In this he had masonry pier con-
Structed, running down to the solid rock.
He then perfected an ingenious piece of
mechanism by which it was possible
to take in single camera a series of
consecutive pictures, the exposure for
each of which was not more than the
25Oth part of a second. These pictures
followed each other at the rate of from
eight to twenty a second, the principle
being that of taking the views in a per-
fectly dark room, the exposure being eff
fected by means of an electric flash.
After many discouraging failures, Mr..
Edison was at last successful. His idea
was that q speaker might be photo
graphed from eight to twenty times a
second during his entire speech, while
a. the same time the phonograph. was
recording the spoken address. The pho
nograph and the mechanism of the
camera were so connected that when the
reproduction took place, both spoken
words and the Photographic pictures
would continue spontaneously together,
and that when the photographs WERE
thrown on a screen. by means of a ste
the rapid recurrence of the
pictures would be such that the effect
would be a continuous one, and as the
monograph reproduced the address,
the gestures and the facial expression
would appear to be that of the living
speaker.
The experiments were completely sue
cessful and Mr.. Edison now has in his
labratory large number of these dual
As yet there does not
seem to be any practical commercial

AEouR-WoRp SPEECH.
One of the Most Effective OratIons De-
Iivered by General Grant.

Ono OF the mOst EnectiVe OrdIlO0S De-
Hvered by General Grant.
During the war Major Wham was a
Lieutenant in General Grants regiment,
the Twenty-frst Illinois, and was as
fortunate bodily then as he has been
since
1--WE were in for thirty days at first
and had a Colonel who wore two pistols
in his belt and made speeches on dress
parade" he said to a circle of friends at
the Ebbitt last night. I've refused TO
enlist unless we could have a new Colo
mel, and the case was presented to Gov
ernor Dick Yates while the regiment
was encamped at Springfield. 1t was
then that Colonel L. S. Grant was as
signed to our regiment and the Gov
ernor suggested that the boys be en-
Unused with some speeches by Logan
and one or two others. The programme
was carried out, and boys, who had
been worked up to a three-cheers-and-
a-tiger state of mind, and were accus-
toned to speeches from their old Col
onel, called for Grant Grant Colonel
Grant with the accent on both words.
There was slight hesitation, and then
Colonel Grant, who had been sitting
down, arose and made an effective
speech without exhausting the English
language. 1t could be hardly divided
into the three parts required by rhetori-
clans, for it consisted of but four words,
to-wit:
- Go to your quarters
81 told the story once at reunion
when Grant was present, and the veter-
ans took it with storm of applause, but
the old commander never smiled. 1t was
one of those incidents of necessary army
discipline which he thought ought never
to be alluded to at reunions, and have
never told it since"
What did you think of your Colonel
those days?' was asked.
"a man that couldn't sec Grant had
the elements of greatness in him was
shoat himself" was the reply. 1--WE all
said then he was bound to climb the lad
der of fame, and the world has seen our
prophecy fulfilled. "-Washington Star.

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.

How Commodore Preble Reproved Gal
liant Lieutenant Decatur.
Nearly twenty years of my early life
from the grade of midshipman to that
of lieutenant-were spent in what
might now be called the old navy, says

New York Times. During those years

ficers, but in all my experience never
knew one who so far forgot what was
due to his position or himself as to
strike a sailor with his fist or to chase
him about the deck with a belaying-pin,
as appears to have been the custom on
board the United States ship Enterprise.
As a youngSter | remember hearing a
story which may interest some of your
readers and at the same time illustrate
what was the thought of that kind of
;diicipline Tor the want of it, by the old
time heroes of the service.
Earty in the century one of the most
distinguished officers of the navy was
the first Commodore, Preble. The gal

famous-was a Lieutenant on board

''Mr. Decatur" replied the Commo-
dore, ''since2you have been on board this

casions to caution you, aud once or twice
to speak pretty sharply, and yet, sir, you
have never knocked me down. When

You can return to your duty" It was
said that through his future brilliant
career Decatur never forgot that rebuke.
