The Holton Signal propounds this
knock -downer. "What il there in
Kansas for democrats 10 organize and
work for?'' Now and then . chance
for local Office. Only this and moth
ing more.-Wichita Eagle.
1t is true that the democratic party
IN Kansas has dwindied down to almost
nothing. But, notwithstanding all this,
they just as surely hold the balance of
power in this state with their present
vote az did the three members Of the
Illinois legislature who dictated Palm
er's election. The only question now
for them to decide is whether they will
give the state over to Ben Harrison aud
thus probably elect him, or will they
give it to the Peoples party nominee
for president and, by SO doing, relieve
their old enemy, the republican party,
Of ten electoral votes. This Is the ques-
tion that Is now confronting the demo-
CRATIC party Of Kansas. The returns
from the late election plainly show that
with three straight tickets in the field,
the Peoples party will have good plu-
rallty. We don't think the republicans
can count on the democrats helping
them 10 3 presidential contest, although
they saw Ct to do SO in an of year.

Mr.. uInner had appeared to be

Ever and anonymously he wohli

Mrs. Hummer said nothing as slis

anxious giauces al the clock and her

Mrs. Hummer could only nod in re-
ply, while her face assumed an even
more anxious expression.
A moment Mr.. Hummer hesitated.
aud then, rising with but poorly con-
cealed anger, he drew upon his good
right foot the heavy boot which had
covered it during the day. and, while
dear, timid little Mrs. Hummer con-
ccaled her face in her handkerchief,
tipped softly out into the front hall,
and as silently closed the door.
All was still. The silence seemed
almost painful to the tender-hearted
little mother waiting in the living
room. and she longed to warn her
daughters lover of his peril.
Minutes passed, which seemed as
hours. but there came to her ears no
sounds of violent alteration. The sus-
pense was terrible.
Suddenly the door opened softly. and
old Mr.. Hummer tiptOed in again. like
the .'SOn John" of history. with one
boot off and one boot on, and stood be-
fore her.
For full a minute he stood gazing

FINDING OF THE PHARAOHS.
Their Tombs Accidentally Discovered BY
Wandering Arabs.
The most generally interesting among
the recent discoveries in Egypt was the
finding of the Pharaohs. in 1881. The
story has been given to the world in
print, therefore it will be only outlined
here. But by far the most fortunate
way is to hear it directly from the lips
of the keeper of the museum, Emil
Brugsch, himself, his vivid. briefly
direct narration adding the last charm
to the striking facts. BY the muse
um authorities it had been for several
years suspected that some one at Luxor
(Thebes) had discovered hitherto un-
opened tomb; for funeral statuettes.
papyri, and other objects, all Of i'm
portance, were offered for sale there,
, one by one, and bought by travellers,
who, upon their return to Cairo, dis
played their treasures, without COM
pretending their value. Watch was
kept, and suspicion finally centered up
on a family of brothers; these Arabs at
last confessed, and one of them led the
way to place not far from the temple
called Deir-ei-Bahari, which all Wis.,
itors to Thebes will remember. Here,
filed with sand, there was . shaft not
unlike a we'll, which the man had
discovered by chance. When the rand
was removed, the opening Of a lateral
tunnel was visible below. and this tun-
mel led into the heart Of the hill, where.
in a rude chamber twenty feet high,
were piled thirty or more mummy
cases, most of them decorated with the
royal asp. The mummies proved to be
those of Seth the First, the conqueror
who carried his armies as far into Asia
| as the Orontes; and of Rameses the
Great (called Sesostris by the Greeks).

somewhat famous Ex-Governor Stearns,
Of Florida, who had been recently ap-
pointed by President Hayes a commits

Hot Springs who had impreRrd real

the national government. One day the
two gentlemen, who had no personal ac-
quaintance, met in the hotel Office.
"Gen. Early" said Stearns politely.
you ought to be willing to shake hands
with me. You owe me an arm" and he
indicated his empty sleeve.
"How is that, GOVERNOR queried
Early. at the same time extending his
hand.
II lost that arm in the cause of the
