There are not as many venomous
snakes in the country districts as there
were formerly. During the hot season
of the year copperhead and rattlesnakes
leave the high grounds and take up
their habitation in the valleys along
water courses. At the time of the great

Some eight months ago a Mr., Charles
Murray came to New Martinsville. He
claimed the State of Maine as his home
and said he had been engaged in teach

and in Accomack and Northampton
counties in Virginia. He was Of good
address and education, and taken alto
gether was genial, atable man, in con-
sequence of which he soon had quite q
circle OF friends. He didnot appear to
have any occupation, but was possessed
OF sufficient means to meet all his bills
promptly. He boarded at the Point
house. In April he was taken with the
"grip" and for time was confined to
his room, but getting better he again
appeared on the streets and amongst
his friends. The disease, however,
finally developed into malignant case
OF typhoid fever, from which he died
on Monday, the Goth inst. He was here
among strangers, but he made 1t known
that he was an Odd Fellow and that
order took care OF him in his last illness
and buried him in accordance with
their beautiful burial forms. Although
a stranger, his remains were attended

concourse ofour citizens, all OF whom
expressed regret for the sudden closing
Of what promised to be useful life.

SUB-TREASURY, ALFALFA, STOCK,
ETC.
To the Editor of the Eagle.

i To the Editor Of the Eagle.
| have found out where the farmers
sub-treasury is. Sub means under, and
/ treasury means what holds the treasures,
which all means the farmers money is
under the farm and you have to plow it
up to get 1t out and seed in what will
make the most for it, alfalfa for exam
pie. Don't you see our immense crops
are going to fill the farmers pockets and
the government treasury, too? The
government cannot make money by
buying gold and silver and coming it.
Paying out 100 cents for a dollar
don't make money. All the wealth of
country comes out of the soil:
it is the storehouse of the world, and the
farmers must get it out b. sowing seed
and harvesting the crops. Then you will
be independent and can combine and get
your own price. That is the only posi-
bic way on earth to get even with the
trusts. l have been studying it in all its
phases and / see no other alternative but
to SOW, reap and hold for yolr own price,
which Is a reasonable profit for your
time and labor. The farmer has as much
right to stock his farm as the merchant
has his store and live by it. 1t will break
up all the combines in the world: it is
the only road to freedom and independ-
ence.

English shire colt and every farmer in
Kansas ought to see it. This is re-
markable year for large young stock and
everyone that attends the fair this fall

THE PLATFORM TO-DAY.

The EAGLE hopes that the resolutions
of the county Republican convention of
today will have no uncertain sound
when it come to the men who are taking
advantage of the prominence given them
by the Alliance to lie about the people of
Kansas and their honesty. Nobody de-
nies that we have had a very severe
brush with hard times, which hard times
were elimination of a logical reaction
from speculation and from partial fail
ure of crops last year, conformity, and
not from governmental misrule unless ii
was under the administration of Grover
Cleveland which had but fairly closed
when the Alliance came into life. Truth
is truth and on no other foundation of
principles can any party survive. The
Republican party is proud of its record;
Kansas is the child Of the
Republican party; it is what
it is by, from, and through Republican
rule; and, it therefore becomes the duty
and should be the pleasure, of every Re
publican convention. to stand by the
state and its people as against all enemies
whether at home or abroad. The leaders
of southern democracy are Dragging that
Kansas is the only state in which the
third party is likely to organize on a sub
treasury, fat money platform. This has
been promised by Alliance mouth piece
If the Republican party is to go down
before such craze let it down with the
truth inscribed on its banners and its
banners flying.

Wood That Resists Fire.

In a recent western fire il was again
demonstrated In the clearest manner
possible that California redwood as a
building material comes nearer being
freproof than almost any other material
of which buildings are constructed In
this instance q fire broke out in the up
per part of a one story building while
the wind was blowing a gale that was
recorded at the United States signal sta
fion as moving at the average rate.of
thirty miles an hour. But notwithstand-
ing this, and the fact that it was several
minutes before water was got to the
building, the fir laths under the plaster
were burned downward nearly to the
floor, and whole squares of the side plas-
tering were thus loosened and fell in be-
fore the FIRE had burned through the
thin redwood shingle roof
j 1t was a most wonderful illustration
Of the fire resisting qualities of redwood.
FIad the whole building been as COM
fustible as the laths nothing could have
saved the city. The roof was old and as
thoroughly ready for the flames as red
wood ever becomes, yet the fact remains
That it resisted the ignition, and bystand-
frs could see seething furnace of
flames through the apertures under the
caves, while nothing but smoke issued
through the roof. The peculiar manner
ip which redwood smothers fame. and
prevents its flashing forth is an impor-
tRnt fact in suppressing confagrations,
ds fires are communicated to neighbor-
ing buildings by means of the external
flames and sparks which they send up

THE sUB-TREAsURY SCHEME N. G.

When the Alliance of South Carolina
elected Tillman for governor of that state
and those of Tennessee tided Buchanan
into the Office of chief executive of that
state, they evidently thought they had the
politics of the country in a swing. But
before Tiliman took his seat as governor
of South Carolina he took occasion to
inform his supporters and followers that
he was Democrat first and an Alliance
man afterwards; implying clearly, that
he did not intend to permit his Alliance
afiliation to in any way interfere with
his loyalty to the Democratic party.
This, of course, includes the sub-treasury
scheme, the acme of Alliance statecraft
and economic demands.
And now, although a trifle tardy,
Governor Buchanan declares himself
on the all-absorbing question. And
his position, although not quite
as emphatic as Tillmans in its
outspoken reputation of the lead
ing tenet of the party, is yet as unm is
taxable of his intention to let it severely
alone. He refuses to discuss it, as it has,
in his view, no existence, the bills pro-
viding for it having been thrown out of
congress. He knows that the Alliance
lecturers have been advocating the sub
treasury scheme in various parts of the
state, and that Senator George recently
achieved a great victory in Mississippi
by literally squelching the advocates of
the gross and offensive heresv, yet he
makes the comfortable position for him
self of ignoring it. Others may do and
say what they please, but as for him
there is no sub-treasury question and be-
ing none he has no comment to make or
opinion TO express upon it. He proceeds
upon the philosophy of the immortal
-. n" that every man is right from his
own stanpoint, and indulges in what
might be termed politics made easy.
But the Memphis Commercial thinks
the governor will wake up some fine
morning to find the whole Democratic
party in Tennessee in the field to squeloh
this sub-treasury scheme, which the Al
lance lecturers are treating as the livest
of live questions, aud then ne will have
TO brace up, look it squarely in the face,
and take a position on the side of the
Democracy, along with Tillman and
Gordon and Oates and other Democrats
who used the Alliance as a sort of spring
board with which TO thrust themselves
into office.

How to BE Happy in summer.


Battle early and often.
Seek cool, shady hooks
Wear lightest. lowest shoes.
Ride at morn and walk at eve.
Believe Elat walters are human.
Let hats be light and bonnets airy.
Eschew kid gloves and linen collars.
Dress in canbrics, lawns and ging-
hams.
Be lavish with laundresses, fruit men
and fans
Court the sea breezes, but avoid the
hot sands.
Stir up the sweet and give small place
TO the bitter.
Let melons precede and berries follow
the breakfast.
Remember that seeming idleness is
sometimes gain.
Retire when in the mood and arise
when most inclined.
Order freshest fish and corn cake;
never mind the heavy frit-er
Remember that nine-tenths Of the peo-
pie are at the seashors for rest.
If you feel like doing a good deed,
treat dozen street children oice cream.
That is mission work
Look pleasantly at the tired stranger
who glances wistfully at the part of
your car seat not occupied.-Ladies'

THE PENSION SYSTEM IN DANGER

From the Leavenworth Times.
From the amount of noise the Demo-
cratic papers are making about the cost
of pensions it is fair to presume that the
party leaders contemplate an onslaught
upon the pension system, either in con-
gress this winter or in the presidential
campaign next year.
1t is very certain that the Democrats,
especially those of the south, have no
love for the pension system and would,
if they could, wipe it out entirely.
Heretofore they have been restrained
from making any open attack upon the
system through fear of solidifying the
north. But they appear to be growing
bolder now, their mutterings have be-
come loud and angry; such papers as the
st. Louis Republic are open in denounc-
ing the ex-Union soldiers as professional
mendicants, and these papers are forever
complaining of the burden of pensions.
When the time comes that they think
it safe, the southern Democrats, who
control the Democratic party, will at
tempt to greatly modify aud perhaps to
destroy our pension system. Maybe that
time is at hand.

IT WAS A PUT UP JOB.

Talking of Senator Pomeroy, Sol Miller
in this weeks Troy Chief says:
Speaking of that York affair, cir
cumstance connected with that has often
REQUIRED to us, and we have always be-
lieved that the whole thing, even to the
dramatic exposure in joint session, was
deliberately planned beforehand, and
known to many who were in the plot.
AT the time of that election we were in
Washington, where there were many in
terested in the outcome. The evening
before the day of the joint session L. J.
Worden of Lawrence, said to US: 81
want TO make prediction. l prophesy
that tomorrow, when the legislature
meets in joint session, some member
will arise and produce a package of
money, saying that Pomeroy had at
tempted to brioe him, and there was the
money he gave him. In the stampede
that will follow, John J. Ingalls, win be
elected senator" Just twenty-four
hours from that time, news came that
it had happened in every particular as
was predicted. How did Worden know
that? He went too deeply into small
details for prophesy. The whole thing
was deliberately laid plot. Those in not
only knew what would happen, but
selected the tool for their work.

Monument Opened at PompeiI.

Two important monuments In Pompeii
have now been opened to the public, aft
er remaining closed for the last thirty
years because they were used as deposits
of art. They are the temple dedicated
to Augustus and the Women's baths.
The latter is the only building in Pom
peii in which are preserved intact, with
out any restoration, the ceilings Of the
rooms, the pavement Of the tepidarium
is also intact In the temple only one
object-but that of great value to art
is preserved, the altar on which sacri-
fees were offered up. 1t is Of marble,
perfect in all its parts, covered with rich
bas reliefs, representing the different
forms and incidents Of sacrifice. On one
side is represented virgin scattering
incense over the altar, while the sacri-
cial bull is brought up in procession Of
priests and musicians. On the other
side are sculptured wreath Of oak
leaves and two branches Of laurel.-Lon-

The Democrats are not fusing with
the Peoples party this season-it is a
case of sour grapes with the Dems. But
if anybody thinks they are not Willin'
Barkises-willing to make any kind of
sacrifices for the sake of getting the of
fees, which is, after all, the height of a
Democrats ambition, just let him
peruse this little appeal from the Arkan-
sas City Democrat:
The Democrats have platform upon
which conservative men from either of the
other parties can find standing room.
There is room for all; and especially those
who are wandering after the tickle goddess
of reform in another party. There is a

The united statez and chili.

from the Dehfef RepoDilcan.
The sympathies of England were with
the congressional party. On the other
hand, our government was looked upon
IN Chill as though it had taken sides
with Balmaceda. As a matter of fact,
the great majority Of the American peo-
pie sympathized with the congressional
ists But, In accordance with inter
national law. our government was bound
as neutral TO recognize only the pozse er
which had control of the Chiiian govern
Inent. The people of Chill will likely
for years feel unkindly toward the
United States because of the attitude
our government was compelled to take.
This is to be regretted. But liberty
loving Americans will feel ample com
pensation for it in the reflection that the
party of constitutional liberty has at last
triumDhed
