ELEGANT Fashion Books.

The new fashion journals, ala

Dowell & Co., 4 West l4th Street,
New York, are the most elegant OF
their kind ever brought to our notice.
The styles are drawn by the best ar
lists; and the books are produced by
rival houses in Paris, each trying to
excel the other in the character OF It's
publications. Formerly they were
printed in French; but they are now
published in English for the use OF
American readers. These journals
furnish the styles ono month III adj

years. Speculation always enhances
values in everything, and the same
rule applies to grain as to stocks,
bonds, real estate and other articles OF
value. The demagogues who howl
about the ruin caused by speculation
arc as little acquainted with that
subject as Balaam's ass was with
the Quapaw language. Active spec
ulation often boosts an article far
above its intrinsic value, but CAN
not break II below. II is not general
ly known, but nevertheless a fact, that
wheat in Chicago has been above a
shipping margin for over twenty
years. That is, ut no time could a
shipper buy in the Chicago market
and sell in Liverpool at the same time
at o profit. The fault must lie with
the foreign markets, and until the
Kansas law makers can obtain juris-
diclion over Liverpool, Marseilles and
Cork they had better let the job
out. Our advice to farmers is: build
ample granaries and cribs and hold at
least q portion of your crops till prices
are satisfactory.

SATURDAY, AUGUST l.
THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.

Joplin, Gulcna, Chetopa and Baxter
Springs are all interested in the Miss
ouri Pacific connection between Jop-
lin and Chctopa and have each and all
at different times endeavored to push
the construction of that link. There
has been no united effort on the part
of these cities, but they all want II
and all need it, and if they would all
unite together and make showing to
the railroad company there can be no
doubt brit that it would be construct
ed this fall. Joplin is fast becoming
a wholesale and manufacturing CELL
ter and needs this road as an outlet il
she expects to build up western and
southwestern trade. Galena needs it
for similar reasons. While Chctopa
and Baxter Springs must have an
eastern and northern outlet. The two
former cities have been mainly de-
pendent on mineral products and
Chetopa and Baxter Springs are
agricultural towns, but all four cities
interested in the construction of this
sink" arc thriving and growing much
faster than western towns in general,
and all of them are developing man.
ufacturing interest and spirit of
enterprise that nccessitates better rail-
road facilities than we now enjoy.
We would suggest that the enter
Drising citizens of these four cities call
railroad meeting and present their
claims to the Missouri Pacific CON-
pany, and if they fail to make any
satisfactory arrangement with that
company then see what can be done
with the Gulf, the Santa Fe or the
Frisco. The railroad tonnage OF
Baxter Springs has by actual figures
doubled in the past year, owing chief
" 10 the development of the Indian
territory south Of us, and we doubt
not that Chetopa has done as well.
Our crops are immense and our live
stock interests are growing rapidly.
We must have a railroad. Why not
make an effort to get it this fall?

REUNION AMPHITnEATRE.


The Interstate Reunion Associa.
ton is going ahead with the amphi-
theatre scheme, and the building is an
assured fact. Liberal donations OF
lumber, timber money and " DIRK have
been made and the committee feel sure
that the building will not only be
ready for this years reunion, but that
it will be paid for. Not only old COM
rades, but all friends of the old SOL
diers, are invited to assist in this work
aud become members Of the Inter-
State Reunion Association. The am
phitheatre will be a benefit TO the
whole people, and can be used for
public gatherings of all kinds. IT will
be about 60xS0, with stage 20x40 adj
ded and will contain seating capac-
iiy of over 1000 persons. Heretofore
the only drawback to our reunions
has been the lack Of hall room for the
speaking and campfires; only u few,
comparatively, could secure seat
where they could hear the talks and
the best seats were generally filled
with women and children, the old vet
Grams having to stand up outside or
crowded TO the rear. The amphithe-
atre will obviate this difficulty, as it
will be so arranged that person can
hear and see from any part of the
house, and the seating capacity will be
enlarged to accommodate the listeners.
The citizens of Baxter Springs are
doubly interested in these reunions,
and they should be willing to assist
literally in providing for the wants of
the men who come here annually.
Joplin spent ten thousand dollars on
the firemen's tournament and we will
have a larger crowd than Joplin did.
This building will give our guests
more real solid comfort than anything
we could do for them, and it is to be
hoped that every man in Baxter
Springs will not only become Il MEN,
her of the association, but will assist
literally in the building of the am
Dhitheatre.

HOLD YOUR GRAIN.

A Farmers Alliance circular has
been issued calling on all the farmers
to hold back their wheat until big
prices can be obtained. This may be
a pool, or trust, or combine, but it ia q
very proper move to make. Farmers
have always been TOO urgent TO sell
their crops and by rushing them all
on the market at once have caused dis
asterous breaks in prices. The world
is In need of all our surplus, but they
cannot take it all at once. II the sup

AFTER FIFTY YEARS.

At the annual meeting of the Maine
pharmaceutical association held at
Portland recently President G. X.
Partridge in his annual address vigOr-
ously attacked the prohibition laws of
the state. He said in part that for
many years, owing to the so called
temperance laws of Maine, the apothe-
cary who would fulfill his duties to-
ward the medical profession, the
invalid and the public has found him
self confronted with the statutes of
prohibition. Ii alcoholic stimulents
were prescribed and he filled such
prescriptions his legal place of resi-
dence was the county Jail and in adj.
dition thereto his pOckel6oOk should
be legally nIulctcd of handsome sum.
"Prohibition,' ne said, "after nearly
half a century's trial in Maine, has
proved a moral, political, demi-rclig'
ious fraud. Originally enacted from
the best motives as sovereign REM
eiy for intemperance its empiricism
has been fully demonstrated. 1t has
grown like fungus on the body poll
tic, stimulated by a combination Of
dark lantern societies with demagogue
fanaticism, political intimidation and
intolerance of individual rights. II
has shown total inadequacy for its
avowed purpose Of promoting real
temperance and good morals. 1t is a
miscarried effort 10 legislate. the king

A Sweet Reminder.

A touching incident occurred at Black
wells Island when the bell of the new
chapel was hung. 1t was rung for the
first time to test its sound which is
peculiarly resonant and sweet. After a.
few minutes trial, the archdcacon, who
had ordered the bell to be rung, sent
word to stop the ringing, fearing that it.
might annoy the inmates of the aims
house. At this moment, a lady who had
been visiting in the dormitories came
out to ask as a favor that the ringing
might be continued. She said that many
of the poor old inmates had burst into
tears when they first heard the sound of
the bell; and they declared that it re-
called to them the blessed Sunday bells
of childhood in the home far away. The
sweetness OF that tolling bell seemed to
send benson through those dreary
wards, and to bring back memories full
of Christian comfort and aspiration to
the inmates.-Young Churchman.

'Did you ever see the diameter of a

when Il bolt of lightning strikes a

the sand for IA distance less or greater
Transforming simultaneously into glass
the silica in the material through which
it passes. Thus, by it's great heat, it
forms at once a glass of tube of pre-
cisely it's own size. Now and then such
tube, known as a 'fulTurite,' is found
and dug up. Fulgurites have boon fol-
lowed into the sand by excavation for
nearly thirty feet; they vary in interior
three inches or more, according to the
bore of the flash.
But fulgurites are not alone pro-
duced in sand; they arc found also in
solid rock, though very naturally of
slight depth and frequently existing
merely as q thin CLASSY coating on the
surface Such fulguritcs occur in aston
ishing abundance on the summit of
Little Ararat in Armenia. The rock is
soft and 50 porous that blocks foot
long can be obtained, perforated in all
directions by little tubes filled with
bottle-green glass formed from the
| fused rock. There is small specimen
| in the National Museum which has the
appearance of having been bored by the
teredo, the holes made by the worm sub
sequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulgurites were found
by Humboldt on the high Nevada de
Toluca in Mexico. Masses of the rock
were covered with thin layer of green
glass. It's peculiar simmer in the sun

The most interesting thing noticed by

pressly in TIE interest of the ladies.
These living diamonds shine as 10 others
can, for the firefies in that part of the
world emit light of rare brilliancy, such
as is not seen in those of the North. So
beautiful and strong is the light they
give to the world that other objects
may be seen by the aid of it. This
