This is the way Lady Caithness, Nine.
Blavatsky's successor, was bedecked at
recent reception in Paris. The diamond
cross which she wore was the most
amazing thing in the room, and was as
great curiosity as the Mozaim set Of
gems in the French crown jewels. She
wore an olive velvet dress, embroidered
with steel. She had drivers" of dia-
monds edging the upper part of her
corsage, the stomacher and the sleeves,
aud Oh her head countcss's coronet,

AGRICULTURAL,
TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
HARVESTING BEANS,

In harvesting beans, considerable time
can be saved by using a machine COM
monty called bean-puller, but really a
bean root-cutter, as it cuts of the
roots just below the ground, leaving
beans and haulm loose upon the surface.
Then when dry, they can be gathered
quite rapidly with forks. They are then
drawn into the barn and slowed away
until threshing time. Beans are general
ly threshed with threshing machines
with cylinders arranged for the purpose.

is equivalent to the devils offer to give

BE Not DECE. WE'D.

The Nashville Banner, a Democratic
paper gets very near the truth when it
says: 1T is well to refrain from indulg-
ing in too buoyant hopes of the election
of Campbell in Ohio" Nevertheless,
Republicans do not want to lay too much
stress upon such ante-election admissions,
at least as to their sincerity. They are
only playing for position, as it were. If
their party is defeated they want to be
in poslsion to parry the hurtful effects
upon that party by dec airing that defeat
is no surprise to them; that in point of fact
it was expected. On the other hand, if
their party should succeed they will
magnify its importance to them by pro-
Tossing surprise. Don't suffer yourself
to be influenced by anything Democrat
may tell you, for, ''for ways that are
dark and for tricks that are delusive"
the average Democrat can put Beelzebub
to blush.

JUST REMEMBER THE FACTS.

No Republican should forget that the
greatest menace to the prosperity of
Kansas is PETER, Simpson and their
bowling coadjutors; yet these men could
never have reached their present places
of power but for the Democratic party.
Everyone of these defamers of Kansas
owes his place of influence and of oppor-
tunity to repress our business and to dis
tress our credit, to Democratic votes.
The Democrats of Wichita and of Sedg
wick county cried themselves hoarse for
Jerry Simpson. But for Demo-
ratio votes there would have
been no Alliane legislature with
its Grandmother Peffer. In every
single instance the Democrats last fall
combined with the Alliance to defeat
the Republican party, refusing, in dis
tricts and in nearly all of the counties,
to make Democratic nominations against
the Alliance candidates for congress and
for the legislature. just as they did in
the case of Jerry Simpson. Are Repub-
licans going to forget all these things in
twelve months? There is not a Demo-
cratic business man or property-holder
in the state whose business has not been
curtailed and whose credit has not been
more or less disastrously affected by the
action of his party in turning the legis-
lature and the congressional delegation
over to the hands of a
belly aching crowd of adventures
and nobodys. These are serious charges,
but who can gainsay them? Where is
the property holder in Kansas today. be
he Democrat or Republican, who would
not have been better off if the PETER and
Simpson gang and that legislature had
never been elected? We don't expect
Democrats to now turn round and vote
for Republicans, but we hope it's not too
much to express the wish that no Repub-
lican will, under the circumstances, fail
to vote his own ticket, clean and clear
from top to bottom.

THE FIGHT ON IKE AULT.

The Democrats have practically aban
doned their entire ticket in this county
except their candidate for sheriff. When
they found it impossible to again crowd
Cone onto the people they commenced
casting about for the man who in their
estimation could secure the greatest
number of Republican votes in this city.
| The conceded that the country would
go Ali nee and the city being Republi-
can their only chance was in the nomin-
ating of a man who wouldn't care to
personally discharge the duties of the
Office, but who. at the same time, be-
cause of his business relations and person
al popularity could command sufficient
number of Republican votes to carry the
city, as against the farmer nominated by
the Republicans. So the efforts of all
the recognized leaders and Democratic
manipuators are being put forth for the
election of the one candidate, the nomi-
nee for sheriff.
Charley Mosbacher is good fellow,
and personally popular among the boys,
but that fact does not entitle him to a
single Republican vote. With all his
success in business and clever ways he is
a Democrat who would run the office of
sheriff in the interest of the
Democratic party and its Demo
cratic managers. and the Republican
who casts vote for Charley Mosbacher
casts vote for the Democratic party
and vote against the principles he
claims to believe in; casts vote which
helps to put the Democratic party in
position to unite with the Alliance next
year to beat Kansas out of its electoral
vote for president.
However good a man Charley
Mosbacher may be, he is no
more competent, no more honest, no
more worthy than Isaac T. Ault, who
happens to run a farm out in the coun-
try instead of jewelry store in town.
Ike is not only as capable as Charley and
naturally as clever, but he wouldn't be
in town three months before being just
as popular among business men. But,
better than all that, he is Republican
against whose character there has never
been word or suspicion. He may not
be up to all the tricks and smirks of the
city politician. but he is true blue in his
Republicanism. No side issue or sore
head bolt ever caused him to waver in
his devotion to his party or to forswear
his principles. And as he has proved
true in spite of all the crazes and in the
face of pressures from his farmer neigh
bors and friends, so every Republican
ought to stand by him in fight wherein
the Democrats are trying to gain a vic
tory by their ''good fellow" dodge.
