Wheat Rates.

The Kansas City Gazette says: gu
THE rate on wheat from Salina,
Kansas, to Kansas City is fixed at IA
cents, while the rate to st. Louis is
only II cents, thus making the Kansas
haul nearly five times more than the
Missouri haul. And this rate is de-
Tended by the Kansas railroad CON-
missioners. The Atchison Champion
thinks that if the present legislature
does not accomplish anything else,
it will have accomplished good win
ter's work if it shall have succeeded in
providing some way TO rid the people
of Kansas of commissioners"
The wheat rates from Abilene are
practically those of Salina and the
complaint has been made here. The
making the commissioners elective in
stead of appointive will do much to rem
edy matters and this will doubtless be
done as both republican and peoples
party platforms demand it.

DIVORCE DAY.
Wholesale Settlement of Family
Troubles by the District Court.

Wholesale Settlement of Family
Troubles by the District Court.
These are the days.for new methods
in all kinds of procedure. The man,
the party, the society. in truth, every
thing and everybody is trying some
new way of doing an old job. 1t has
been suggested that the farmers
alliance movement is the originator Of
all this and indirectly is the cause of
many change Of base and manner.
However, that is only another mans
hint and We simply throw it in for
what it is worth.
Now one would think that this fever
of change would not enter the portals
of justice, bnt 20 a layman it looks just
that way. Heretofore the divorce
cases in this county have been sand
wiched in between other trials at all
times, before shutdown and after, but
now all that is of the past. Nothing
having the least glimmer of star
chamber will be permitted any more.
All must be open and above board.
The family skeleton must be paraded
in broad daylight, unsayory though 1t
may be, and all the baidheads and lust
ful-minded are happy. -
What is the result of it all? Why
this is divorce day" in court. We
like that way of putting it, it has
real old COMMONWEALTH sort of sound
and makes you think of rule day" and
all that. There is delightful novelty
in this way of doing thugs. You
know when to go to eourt-and you
also know when tostay away.
twill be many term before We
shall get as racy a grist as that of to-
day: Grimes VS.. Grimes, BOneman VS..
Bohemian and Cox VS.. Cox. The first
case was tried this morning, the de-
PENDANT not appearing. The testimony
showed that the defendant was afraid
to sleep alone when her husband was
away, hence the court granted the
husband a divorce.

A STRANGE STORY.

A certain lady of letters, well known
to some in Utica, in company with
number OF congenial companions, was
passing the summer at mountain re-
sort In this State, says the Utica IN.
W Herald She and her companions,
who were also ladies engaged In liter
ary pursuits, agreed that each morning
they would meet and relate their dreams
of the night before, both for the pur-
pose of making scientific observations
and for the interest of the thing itself.
Doubtless if the ladies had pondered
the maxims laid down by the father OF
his country, and had understood that
one in which he forbade the revealing
of dreams, they would have followed
his iIlnstrious example But If they
had this aneedote would never have
been told
The symposium was held regularly
every morning and was source Of con-
siderable amusement One day, how
ever, the lady first referred to, who
NAV be called Miss Gale. came down
with troubled countenance, and when

AN ANCIENT AMERICAN TOWN.
Some of the Queer Features of Laguna,
New Mexico.

Some of the Queer Features of Laguna,
New Mexico.
Laguna is built upon a rounded eleva-
ton of rock. It's appearance is exactly
that of Syrian village, the same clus-
ter of little, square, fat-roofed houses
in terraces, the same brown color, and
under the same pale blue sky. And the
resemblance was completed by the fig
ures of the women on the roofs; or NOV
ing down the slope, erect and supple,
carrying on the head water-iar, and
holding together by one hand the man
tie worn like Spanish rebozo. The
village is irregularly built, without
much regard to streets or alleys, and it
has no special side of entrance or APP
proach. Every side presents a blank
wall of adobe, and the entrance seems
quite by chance. Yet the way we went
over the smooth slope was worn here
and there in channels three or four
inches deep, as if by the passing feet of
many generations The only semblance
of architectural regularity is in the
plaza, not perfectly square, upon which
some of the houses look, and where the
annual dances take place. The houses
have the effect of being built in ter
races rising one above the other,
but it is hard to say exactly what
house is-whether it is any thing more
than one room. You can reach some of
the houses only by the aid of ladder.
You enter others from the street. If
you will go further, you must climb
ladder, which brings you to the roof,
that is used as the sitting-room or door
ward of the next room. From this
room you may still ascend to others, or
you may pass through low and small
doorways to other apartments. 1t is
all hap-hazard, but exceedingly pictur-
esdue. You may find some of the fam
lily in every room, or they may be gath
cred, women and babies, on a roof
which is protected by a parapet. At
the time of our visit the men were all
away at work in their fields. Notwith-
standing the houses are only sun-dried
bricks, and the village is without water
or street commissioners, was struck
by the universal cleanliness. There
was no refuse in the corners or alleys,
no odors, and many of the rooms were
patterns of neatness- To be sure, an
old woman here and there kept her
hens in an adjoining apartment above
her own, and there was the litter of
children and of rather careless house
keeping But, taken altogether, the
town is an example for some more civ
ilized, whose inhabitants wash oftener
and dress better than these Indians

A Bachelor in Southeast Ottawa
Eats Strange Food.

A Bachelor in Southeast Ottawa
Eats Strange Food. ,
The Manchester Sun relates a wild and
woody tale of suffering in the hills of
southwest Ottawa and bordering on
Dickinson county. 1t says that during
the severe blizzard in Janu airy, Mr..
Summers, living about eight miles
northwest of Manchester in the hills,
lived off horse flesh to keep from starry
ing. Ed Reed was at his house last
Sunday and seeing horse hide in the
yard asked him about it when the old
man said that during the storm he had
nothing to eat and could not secure
anything therefore killed his pony and
subsisted from the flesh thereof. Mr..
Summers is an aged bachelor and lives
alone.
The pitiful condition in which the
old fellow found himself can well be
imagined. He is said, however, to be
none the worse off for his strange food,

ner sleeping hours she refused 70 tell
them. She had dream Of very bad
omen and did not wish to depress them
as she had been depressed by its recital
There was a futter Of excitement, Of
course, but the refusal was final.
On the morning after Miss Gale sp-
peared still more disturbed, and in an
swer to the questions of her friends she
said that the dream had been repeated
She still refused to reveal it, but when
the vision appeared on the third success
sive night, she became quite nervous
about it, and was persuaded to make It
known.
''The dream that have had three
times, now" said Miss Gale, sis
this: I seemed to be sitting at my
window in the upper story of the
house, where my home is, watching
the passers in the street. Soon q line
of carriages appeared coming up the
street, and when looked more closely
1 saw that it was funeral procession.
regarded it idly, but became more In
terested when it halted in front Of the
house where was. noticed distinct
" the appearance of the train, the
drivers with their black hats and gloves
and the hearse. The hearse backed up
In front of the door, and the undertake
er's assistant, who was sitting up in the
seat with the driver, jumped down and
opened the door. Then he looked up at
me and saw that in the front of his
cap was the number 90 He had deep
scar across one cheek. Are you readYT
asked the man. 1 was greatly startled,
and while 1 was trying to say some
thing in reply to the question, / awoke."
The effect of the story upon Miss
Gales listeners was depressing, but
after awhile one of them remarked
upon the saying that dreams go by
contraries, and the unpleasant thoughts
were laughed away. The dream was
not repeated again. The vacation passed
pleasantly, and their remembrance
Of the dream grew indistinct, and when
Miss Gale returned to her home and the
cortege of her vision did not material
ize, she quite forgot it. Several months
later she had occasion to visit Chicago,
and while there took advantage of an
opportunity for inspecting some Of the
public buildings. One day she left her
friends on the first floor of one Of these
buildings, and went up to the fifth story
to see some particular object of inter
est. Having finished her inspection she
waited with several other people for
the elevator to take her down again.
When it came the others got in quickly
enough, but the man who had charge Of
the elevator thought Miss Gale was too
slow.
'Welt,'' he said, ''are you ready?"
Like flash the memory of her dream
came back, and she looked at the man,
astonished. Then she saw the scar
upon his face and the number ''9" in
his cap.
''No, no, not yet" she said, involun-
tarily.
The man slammed the door inpatient
ly and the heavy laden elevator started
downwards. 1t had not reached the
| next floor before the steel cables parted
and the whole machine crashed to the
basement. -Four persons were taken
out of the wreck, dead.
