Atchison Globe: Men will never
be reliably good until that goodness
pays for its own sake; men cannot be
depended upon until they learn that
hell is not a far off country where
punishment is meted out at some flu
ture time, but that it is in existence
all around us and so sure as we trans
gress, so sure yill we have hell fire.
And we will have it right away, too.
A religion Of selfishness is the only
religion that will appeal TO a selfish
people. You never committed sin
that you were not promptly punished
according to its degree. Only the
foolish imagine that hell is a long way
of, and that possibly there is mercy
that will save them from it.

The Chattawa cat compeller is the
latest invention aud originated IN the

ic, from whose lids the complaints OF
the midnight cat had frightened "tired

About Alliance Stores.
Fort Scott Monitor.

Some months ago there was great
deal of talk among farmers about the
abuses of retail merchants, and the
threat was made by a late alliance
candidate ~ this county, who Blythe
way failed of election, that il ner-
chants did not come to the terms Of
the alliance that woe would be 10
them, The farmers believed that the
city merchants were making large per
cents and having an easy time Ot II,
all at the expnese of the farmer COLI
sumner. They believed that they could
buy from the wholesale merchants on
the same terms that the retail mer-
chants could, thus saving the middle
mans profits, and various other inter-
mediate expenses. Three plans were
followed In various sectiOne. Some
places q certain store was designated
the "alIiauce store" aud furnished
goods under contract and guaranty to
the members. These did not prove
satisfactory, and very few contracts, II
auy. were renewed. The stores which
were intended to be left out in the cold
could easily undersell the contract
stores for the very good reason that
they could get better terms from the
wholesale men than the contract men
could. No wholesale dealer could
afford 10 throw away the trade Ut .
half dozen good stores, dealing IN q
better paying quality Of goods, for the
trade Of single store dealing almost
exclusively in staples, on which no
money IL made by any Of the dealers.
The farmer trade in fancy goods, on
which the money is made, amounts
practically TO nothing.
The plan Of buying directly from
the wholesale dealers failed for the
reason that no wholesale house could
cell 10 unknown parties In small guam
dties, shipping to local stations Scat'

recorded in the upper part OF New

story of destruction will not be known
until tomorrow, although il is believed
that no human lives are lost. The

eastern part of the state WAS visited by
snow storm last night and this morn
ing passengers from Philadelphia re-
port havoc being done 10 telegraph
and telephone wires and telegraphic
communication is practically sus-
pended. The Western Union wires
here are working westward, but Phlla-
delphia, Reading and Washington are
shut out, while Baltimore and New
York are being reached by long and
circuitous route. The postal has no
communication at all. Sixty breaks
have been found up TO points few
miles outside of this city. 1t will take
months TO repair all the telephone
wires. 1t is feared that the high waters
in the Susquehanna will cause serious
damage at certain points badly situated
for floods.
New YORK, Jan. 25.--The strom ex-
tended over the entire region from Bos-
ton through the lower Eastern States,
Southern New York, New Jersey, Dele
ware and Southern Maryland. At S
O'Clock this morning there were but
few wires running from the Western
Union Office, and at 9 O'Clock nearly
every wire was rendered useless. Atone
time communication to Philadelphia.
Albany and Boston was entirely cut
off The wires to Albany were the first
to resume working which was at
O'Clock. During the day telegraph
matter had been sent by train from
here to points in New England and
New Jersey to be forwarded. Gangs of
repair men have been ordered here
from all directions including between
fifty and sixty from points east of
Buffalo.

DAKOTA LEGISLATORS.

Form q New ombipatioB on the Elec-
tion of Senator.
PIERRE, S. ID. Jan. PA special
dispatch says: Considerable speculation
has been INDUCED in today regarding
a new turn in the senatorial situation.
The Fuaonists are strongly talking of
fixing on either j. w. Harden or
Speaker Seward IS their choice and let
the ballotdetermine whois.the strongest
tomorrow without q caucus. IL rs said
that nearly If not all the Democratic
and independent members have agreed
to vote for the one of these two who
shows up the greatest vote
on Joint ballot. Harden is
of Democratic pedigree while Seward
has always figured III politics As a free
lance. Moody takes his evident defeat
as caused by the unseatng of the
Lawrence county members coo)ly and
desires to remain the caucus nominee
of the Republicans Until he or some
other one IS named for Senator.
Pettigrew, who has been here lsboring
earnestly in Moody's behalf, is said TO
feel worse over the situation than
Moody. There Is still strong talk OF the
Republican members of the House se-
curing and organizing separate body,
though the more conservative regard
this action as revolutionary.
