What Ais Old Party Politics.


At this time there seems to be
quite contagion in old party poll
tics, which has proven to be fatal in
number of places, but more espec-
tally in Kansas. At any rate the
chief bosses and organs of Repub-
lican politics in Kansas are suffering
with it in it's most malignant form.
We say it seems to be contagious,
because Democratic politics take it
from Republican politics, and vice
versa. Republican politics in Kan
sas caught it on the fourth day of
November, 1890, and took a relapse
on the 2Sth day of January. Dur
ing that time and up to the present
it has been under the treatment OF
it's most skilled bosses, but seeming
lv to no effect. Thus it seems to
be verging into it's past stage OF ac-
ton, which means commissions OF
deliriums, described as follows viz:
"That Farmers Alliance means an
archy, John j. Ingalls, skinned Dan
Voorhees,, the champion of Democracy,
and that alliance defeated him. John
j. Ingalls, made ex-rebel brigadiers
tremble in their seats, and now that
alliance has put crank in his seat.
By reason Of that alliance the south
ern democracy are now debating
legislation in Kansas. By reason OF
that alliance in Kansas, the eastern
mortgage holders will sell all the
farmers. By reason of that alliance
the Wall Street money lords will
loan no more money in Kansas.
That alliance is bringing desperation
on themselves and the state at Kan
sas. By reason of that alliance, the
legislature of Kansas voted $40
postage-stamp steal. By reason OF
that alliance, the lower house of the
legislature refused to raise the flag
over that part of the capital for fear
it would insult Ex-rebel Polk, who
by reason of that alliance is now try
ing to bust the Republican party in
Kansas"
We give these descriptions as a
basis on which we arrive at the con-
clusion that it is alliance la grippe
that is now ailing Republican poll.

He Didn't Know the Man.

There was musical entertainment ii
the palatial mansion of Col Dudv Big
bug. Miss Birdie Bigbug plays on the
piano. She is not much of player, but
her folks think that there is nothing
more for her to learn. Among the
guests was stranger, who happened
to be a musical genius After Miss
Bigbug had pounded the instrument
until the house had shook to its founda-
ton, a young gentleman asked the
stranger what he thought of the young
lady's playing.

replied.
''You don't say SO" said the delighted
young man.
"Yes, do. never expected it was
possible for any body to play so afro
ciously."
The young man was Tom Bigbug,

former-a fact that the stranger did not
discover until he regalned conscious

Important Trade Name Decision.

Judge Thayer, of the United States Cir
cult Court at St. Louis, has recently handed
down an opinion, and granted a perpetual
injunction against the defendants in the
case of The Hostetter Company against the
Bruggeman, Reinert Distilling Co., ALIAS
''Gold Spring Distilling Co.. prohibiting
the advertising, manufacturing or selling
Of any article of stomach bitters, either in
bulk, by the gallon or otherwise, or in any
way making use of the name "Hostetter"
except in connection with the sale of the
genuine bitters, which are always sold in
bottles securely sealed; and also prohibit
ing the sale of any bitters in bulk, though
the name .Hostetter'' be not used, but the
suggestion made to the purchaser that he
can put them in the empty Hostetter bot
ties, and purchasers would not discover the
difference. His decision supports The Hos
letter Company in the exclusive use of the
name ssHostetter' in connection with either
the manufacture or sale of stomach bitters
in any manner or form whatsoever, and
firmly establishes its ownership in the
name "Hostetter'' as ''TRADE NAME"

A STRANGE STORY.
It Il Related of Man Who Had Lee
Buried.

IL e Related of q Man Who Had Lex
Buried.
"That reminds me-" said the man
who is always being reminded OF some
thing.
'.What is it that reminds you, and
what OFF"
This item about man having his
leg buried the other day. / wonder If
he will have the same experience as A
friend of mine. Strangest thing l ever
heard of. You see, this poor fellow
had suffered untold agony for year or
more after injuring his right leg by
falling downstairs, and finally the
member became so diseased that ampu-
tation was necessary. The man nearly
died under the operation, though that
is not the interesting part of the story.
The removed portion of the leg was
taken away and buried. 1t is well
known, of course, to surgical
science that when a man has had
limb cut off he still suf
fers, or thinks he suffers, pain, which
amounts to the same thing, in the part
of the member removed. 1t was SO in
this case, and as my friend came back
to consciousness his complaint was of
the most severe pain in the buried foot.
"'There is something pressing upon
it, he would say, in what seemed like
delirum. It's packed too tightly
Now the sufferer knew nothing of
where or how his lost limb was buried:
as a matter of fact, it had been swathed
in lot of hay, packed tightly in a box,
and the whole put under ground. Day
after day went on, the suffering of the
man with the buried leg and foot grew
intolerable, until finally he begged his
brother to dig up the piece of lifeless
flesh, remove it's wrappings, and
change its position in the box. Only
sick mans within, thought the brother,
who was nursing the unfortunate fell
low. Still. why he could never explain,
he, too, was seized with a fancy that if
he were to do as the invalid wished. and
then tell him about it, the effect might
be relief to the sick mans mind. It's
all nonsense, of course, he said to him
self, but he went one night just the
same, dug up the limb, relieved it of its
wrapping, turned it over in the box,
and buried the grewsome thing again,
thinking the next morning he would
tell his brother all about it. The first
thing his brother said to him when he
saw him was: Something queer hap
pened last night What was it?'
We'll. you know that have been telling
you about my buried limb, how awfully
it ached, and how it felt as if some
thing was pressing upon it. Well, just
about ten o'clock last night, when the
thing was aching its worst, l all at once
felt relief, the pain was completely
gone, and / have not felt it since
The brother was astonished beyond
expression. 1t was just exactly five
minutes before ten o'clock on the night
previous that he had changed the posi-
ton of the buried limb, and he had not
told living soul of what he had done.
Rather curious, isn't it?''-N. Y. Trib-

Too Much Love,

Boston is the home of bright little
girl called Kit. There is no sentiment
whatever in the soul of Kits brother
frankie, and he often grieves his mother
and Anglers his father by the GOODNESS and
insensibility with which he repels his
little sisters overtures of affection.
"She keeps wanting to love me-" is
his only excuse when either of his pa
rents tries to persuade him that he
ought to let Kit play with him.
"Why, of course she loves you, poor
little thing" said his father the other
day in reply to this. 81 should think
that would be reason enough for you
not to be so hateful to her.
''Well, returned the youthful Adam,
patronizingly, well, maybe I'll let her
play with my shovel down at the beach
some time if she'll promise not to ask
to kiss me one single time from now
