Just what is the matter with some
of the wheat is hard to determine.
Some say the patches of yellow wheat
only can be found on wheat that was
drilled in on stubble; while others say
that such patches appear on the well
ploughed ground as we'll. Some say
there is little green bug that girdles
the stock, while still others affirm that
it is little brown bug and that it eats
a hole through the main part OF the
stock. Most men, however assert that
it is their belief that with good soak.
ing rain the damage would be very
light as compared to the large amount
of wheat sown, and we agree with
them.
Jack the nipper, showed up in the
vicinity Sunday night last. In the
dead hour of the night he stole upon
his unsuspecting victims, and when
the light of morning shown upon the
earth the ghastly remains of many
mangled victims we're to be seen on
every hand. With his keen knife he
cut down, in the pride of their youth,
tomatoe plants, potatoe hills, tender
young bean stalks, and almost every
other kind Of vegetation; and there is
weeping and wailing in the land. b.
Two sons of John Felkner, of Com
anche township. we're out rabbit shoot
ing one day recently. One Of them,
the elder, turning quickly to get shot,
dicharged his gun almost in the face
of his brother. The shot ploughed
through the skin of his forehead, and
the powder burned out one of his eyes.
Tie accident is greatly deplored. rssr

senators wear wells and keep their hats
on.-Evening News.
AND yet, the News, as well as all
other republican papers of Kansas, has
no word of condemnation for Botkin or
his methods; treats the whole business
of the impeachment trial in a fippant

no Importance whether such a man as

BOTKIN's only known rival is a just
ice of the peace down in Missouri. He
recently was called upon to marry a
young couple. He took his usual pre-
paratory measures by producing a
quart bottle of red liquor, and taking a
large swig himself, he offered it to the
groom. The young man refused to
drink, when the justice fined him ten
dollars for contempt of court. While
Missouri papers are setting forth the
claims of their man for the champion
ship of whisky guzzling justice, we de-
sire to remind them that the Kansas
fellow has the advantage over their guz-
Zler, in that their man is condemned
by his party while the Kansas speci-
men is upheld by the prohi. repubs.

LIFE in Japan is said to carry Won
derful charm to the hearts Of suscepti-
BILE tourists. The delightful atmosphere,
the soft breath of the current winds and
the indescribable loveliness Of the
women combine to seduce foreigners
into deserting their native lands for this
oriental paradise. Lafcadio Hearn, the
well known magazine writer, has be-
come SO entranced that he has married a
Japanese woman and become perma-
nent resident of the island Sir Edwin
Arnold is said to have nearly reached
the same point. In view of possible
danger If this desertion continues, we

halt to this business by another Japan

w. A. Brown private at Fort Missoula,
has been arrested on the charge of opening
letter given him to have registered and
taking from it 4 ten dollar note. The ser
want at the house of one of the officers
handed Brown the letter to take to MissouIa
and have registered. On the way, it is
charged, Brown opened the letter, took out
the contents, ten dollar note, put the let
ter III new envelope, di ected it to its in
tended destination in Virginia and regis
tered it. The loss of the money was dis
covered, of course, and an investigation
begun. The envelope bore no mark of hay-
ing been tampered with, but the handwrit-
ing of the directions wRs different from
that OF the letter. A sample of Browns
writing was obtained, and it was similar to
that on the envelope. Brown on being
confronted with the facts, paid Inspector
watkins the money, but denied having
taken it out OF the letter. Capt. Ord, at
tho fort, asked if the government would
prosecute Brown. If not, he said the mill
tary authorities would do 30. AS the letter
had not reached the postofiice when it was
opened, the civil authorities were in some
doubt as to convicting Brown. District
Attorney Weed, however, thought that the
point. an entirely new one. was worth in
vestlpatlon and directed Browns arrest.

How shall we get ready for one or
all of these three exploits4 We shall
make a dead failure if in our own
strength we try to save man or wom-
an or child. But my text suggests
where we are to get equipment. 1.-The
people that do know their God shall be
strong and do exploits" We must
know him through Jesus Christ in our
own salvation and then we shall have
his help in the salvation of Others.
And while you are saving strangers you
may save some of your own kin. You
think YOUR brothers and sisters and
children and grandchildren all safe,
but they are not dead, ard no one is
safe till he is dead.
On the English coast there was wild
storm and wreck in the offing, and
the cry was, MAN the lifeboatl" But
Harry, the usual leader of the sailors
crew, was not to be found, and they
went without him, and brought back
all the shipwrecked people but one.
BY this time Harry, the leader of the
crew, appeared and said why did
YOU leave that one?" The answer was,
HE could not help himself at all, and
we could not get him into the boat. "
''Man the Iifeboatl" shouted Harry,
land we will go for that one.
No" said his aged mother, stand
ing by, ''you must not go. lost your
father in storm like this, and your
brother Will went off six years ago,
and | have not heard a word from Will
since he left, and don't know where
he is. poor Will and cannot let you
also go, for | am old and dependent on
you" His reply was, Mother, | must
go and save that one man, and if am
lost God will take care of you in your
old days"
The lifeboat put out, and after an
awful struggle with the sen they picked
the poor fellow out of the rigging just
in time to save his life and started for
the shore, and as they came within
speaking distance Harry cried out, I'VE
saved him, and tell mother it was
brother Will" Oh, yes, my friends,
time and for eternity-some man, some
woman, some child. And who knows
but it may, directly or Indirectly, be
the salvation of one of our own kin
dred, and that will be an exploit worthy
of celebration when the world itself is
shipwrecked, and the sun has gone out
like spark from smitten anvil, and
all the stars are dead!
