guilty Of treason and his property COM
fiscatsd. He escaped and lived until
about three years ago. At his death his
heirs brought suit to recover tho prop
erty confscated. A large amount OF
the best residence and business prop

great many suits were necessary. They
have been pending for some time, and
to-day Judge Benson gave decision
in favor of the heirs, holding that they
were entitled to the property on pay
ment of the taxes and legal charges.
The value of the property involved will
probably reach 100000.
Fort Scott years ago
there came to this city gentleman
named John Shorten, whom most Of
the old residents know quite we'll. For
some cause Mr.. Shorten became obnox-
ious to the English government and
was compelled to seek home in Amer
lea to save his life. When he left ire
land he bid farewell to loving wife
and infant child. daughter. After his
escape from his cruel prosecutors, his
wife was separated from her child and
cent to British India, the child beng
placed in an orphan asylum. The child
grew to womanhood and inherited an
estate that was left to her mother. This
the government could not deprive her
of. About eighteen months ago the
daughter was welcomed by her father
in this city. Through information re-
Gently obtained, Mr.. Shorten found out
the whereabouts of his wife. The result
of the whole story is that to-day, when
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas train ar
rived in this city, it brought Mrs.
Shorten, the wife and mother, who had
not seen or heard from her family in
twenty-five years.

STOCK AND FARM.

D. W. Shannon. of Washington coun-
ty, threshed 400 bushels OF oats from
five acres sown.
Bird City News: Chas. Schuck, liv-
ing over in the edge of Rawlins county,
reports a yield of seventy bushels OF
wheat from bushel and half sowed.
Liberty Review: Charlie Roszell sold
eighteen head of hogs for shipment.
He had lot of pigs that were Uttered
in April that averaged 272 pounds
gain of more than pound day from
the time they were born.
Axtell Anchor: In riding through
the country we notice many fields OF
corn where on one side OF the road the
stalks are thick and the ears are large:
on the other side the crop looks sickly.
The difference seems to be in cultivation
and care of the land.
Oskaloosa Independent: We made a
note last week to The effect that wheat
was looking pretty we'll in this locality,
but it seems such is the case only IN
certain fields, where the grain was
sowed early, and through other favor
able circumstances obtained good
start.
Mcpherson Republican: Some time
since Mr.. Simpson had foreclosure to
make against a man in the northern
part of this county. The case went
along sor some time, the foreclosure was
granted and the sale ordered. But the
farmer had got a good crop of broom
corn and succeeded in marketing it in
the nick of time. and the very day the
sale was to be made he came down and
paid off every dollar. One single crop
at fair prices let him out of all his finan-
cial troubles.
Washington Republican,: Perhaps
the largest and most convenient cattle
barn in the state of Kansas is that OF
E. Reedy, in Little Blue township. The
barn is 24x26O feet, with good stone
basement. The basement opens to the
east and is fitted up for feeding cattle,
a trough for that purpose running
nearly through the entire length OF the
building. The superstructure is built
of wood, at each end is hay NOW, and
the remainder is given up to q bin or
crib for storing ear corn, except bin
the entire length which is used for stor-
ing shelled corn. From this bin spouts
carry tho shelled corn to the feed trough
before mentioned. The barn cost g.
800, aside from the stone and much OF
the timber which was obtained from
MIR. Reedy's fine 640-acre farm.

"7Aere,s something behind It."
That's what you think, perhaps,
when you read that the proprietors
of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offer
$500 reward for an incurable case
of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you
think, to find the makers of medi-
cine trying to prove that they be-
lieve in it. "There must be some
thing back of It'll"
But it's plain, square offer, made
in good faith. The only thing that's
back of it is the Remedy. It cures
Catarrh in the Head. To its mild.
soothing, cleansing and healing
properties, the worst cases yield,
no matter how bad or of how long
standing. It has a record that
goes back for 25 years. 1t doesn't
simply relieve it perfectly and
permanently cares. With q Rem
edy like this, the proprietors can
make such an offer and mean it.
To be sure there's risk in it, but
it's so very small that they are
willing to take it.
You've "never heard of anything
like this offer True enough.
But then you've never heard OF
anything like DR.. Sage's Remedy.

A Wonderful Dinner to the King and

Wonderful Dinner to the King and
Queen of Italy in Vienna.
American Analyst.
There is no table in the whole world that is
served so daintily or artistically as that of the
Austrian Court. The damasl is so fine that it
looks like satin, and for luncheon or afternoon
tea is replaced by heavy white silk cloths and
napkins, edged with Point de Venise and
adorned with the imperial crest in raised gold
embroidery. The viands are prepared so pref
tily that it seems almost pity to break up and
eat them, and the fairies themselves might
least ON the tempting pieces n,onteeS prepared
by the artist that presides over the imperial
kitchens.
Particularly remember a dinner given in
honor of the King and Queen of Italy at the
Hofburg, in Vienna, some years ago, as the
eliminating point of luxury combined with
the most refined and exquisite taste The
tablecloth was strewn with forced violets, nes-
tling so close to one another that they formed
perfect bank of fragrant blossoms, leaving
only room for the plates of semi-transparent
Sevres of the Famille Rose, each of which was
surmounted with thick garland of marguer
ties. Marguerite being the Christian name Of
the Queen of italy, her little namesake had
been used with great profusion in the decora-
tion of the festive board. Before the plate of
each lady slender, tulip-shaped vase of Vene-
tian glass mounted in finely wrought gold CON
tanned bouquet of marguerites and violets,
powdered with diamond dust The menus
were engraved on thin sheets of hammered sill
yer, with the Austrian eagle embossed on the
corner. Everything was served on gold dishes,
and the dessert plates were marvel of beauty
worthy of Benvenuto-Cellini.
when the sorbets were placed before the
distinguished guests a faint murmur of adj
miration was audible For even the blase
eyes of people satiated with every form of
luxury were charmed with the little double
headed eagles made of delicately spun sugar,
perched on pale-pink glass ball containing
tiny electric light. On the back of each di-
minutive bird was large daisy, also made of
spun sugar, wherein the sorbets were served.
and the gold plates on which the whole rested
We're garlanded with Parma violets.
The dinner was really what one may de-
scribe without eXaggeration as being the
apotheosis of gastronomy. The dining-hall,
scented as with dreamy incenses and lighted
with mellow wax candles, the soft briliiancy
OF which would have entranced even Lucullus
had he been throned there on his ivory chair,
was sight to be remembered.

School Notes.

Monday is visiting day for teachers only.
The public schools close on Thursday and
will reopen on Monday, September 81.
Tuesday is visiting day for parents and

One of the best uses to which the Smith
sonian Institution has ever been put was the
recent grant of privilege to the pupils of the
High Schools to exhibit their work in its halls
during the summer. This will be q fine op-
portunity for those who view it merely as an
exhibit to make a more careful examination of
it than can be done in one days visit at the
school-room, while the educators will see
much deeper, and find it highly instructive as
study OF methods. The exhibit in the
Smithsonian will consist Of art, such as draw
ing, plastic or clay work, crayon and ordinary
drawing, designing, manual training carpen-
terry, mechanics, and steel work from the sim
plest jointto complicated machinery Histor-
ical and notebook work will also be exhib-
tied. 1t cannot fail to attract attention, espe-
cially from parents.

graduates, conferred the degrees, and said
that tone of woman's highest privileges was
wifehood, motherhood, and home-making,
for which nature had fitted her.n He con-

something so well as to entitle them to the
diploma. The graduates were the Misses
