about viii Long who was killed a few
days ago by an accidental TALL from his

much relieved when he found that it was
a man of the same name but not his

An Old Cnre for DiphthsrI,.

The most successful cure for diphtheria
is one of the old woman remedies left
over from the last century. Medical sci
ence can't tell why it is good, but the
fact remains that it cures as many people
as drugs do. All the paraphernala
needed is basin, some hot water and a
good sized funnel. The basin must he
filled three-quarters full with very hot
water-as hot as can be secured-boiling,
if possible.
The patient takes the basin in his lap
and places the open end Of the funnel in
the water Then he blows through the
mouth of it. This VIII send the steam
from the water up from the basin to the
throat and chest, and he will naturally
inhale a good deal of it. After ten or
fifteen minutes relief will be exper- need,
and if the operation is repeated frequent
ly enough permanent cure will be
established. New York Telegram.

A NEW WAY TO PAY DEBTS.

The expediency, not to say policy"
of life insurance has been given a new
application and in rather novel sort of
way. A church organization in Austria
ia became involed in debt beyond the
ability of the membership to pay, and
the committee to whom the matter was
referred to suggest or devise some
means of settlement divided the total
debt among themselves, when each
member procured insurance on his life
for the amount which fell to his share.
The policies were made transferable TO
the church society and the annual
premiums on the policies are paid out of
church collections. When one of the
insured dies the insurance On his life of
course goes in liquidation of the debt.
Thus when the last remaining COM
mitteeman "shuffles off this mortal
COLI the debt is paid. We see no obstacle
in the way of the adoption of this plan
in business purposes requiring borrowed
capital. 1t would have the merit at
least of being a good thing for the last
man.

A BALM FOR INJURED BONES.

Ever since the split that occurred in
the w. G.. T. U. last year over the ques-
ton of making the organization an
active factor in national politics, the
sisterhood seems to have been in a stew
or pickle almost continuously here and
there throughout the country. Now
comes the announcement that Mrs.
Marietta N. Bones, the Woman's Christ
ian Temperance union seceder, has
brought suit against thirty women of
South Dakota and the Aberdeen Daily
News for $50, 900 for libel The women
who are made parties to the suit are
among the most prominent in South
Dakota. Mrs. Bones went to st. Paul
two week ago from her home in Web
ster, S. D., and in interviews said some
harsh things about Susan B. Anthony,
Francis Willard, and other women.
A few days later many ladies of South
Dakota met at Aberdeen and adopted a
drastic set of resolutions upon Mrs.
Bones and secured their insertion in the
Aberdeen Daily News. These resolu-
tons said that Mrs. Bones had "neither
respect for womanhood nor for herself.
and had proved to be a hindrance and
disgrace to every women's society to
which she belonged" For these cruel
remarks Mrs. Bones wants the sum of
SCI. 600.

''The Boston Journal tells of ian
Atchison (Kan) man who has sent s.
bill to England in an envelope for the
past twenty years, and says he has never
lost dollar Strange, isn't it? One
would think that s. bill which has
been sent to England Gin an envelope
for the past twenty years would have
suffered at least a dollars worth by
natural wear and tear, even if it did not
give up the ghost altogether. The mar
rative is painfully incomplete in another
respect; it fails to tell how the So bill in
question got back to this country, as it
must have done in order to be sent to
England for twenty years. There is
some ambiguity about the statement in
another direction. 1t is not stated why
the So bill was sent SO persistently for So
many years, and we are left to conject-
ure whether or not it was sent to test
the reliability of the channel of COM
munication, with view to using it for
larger amounts subsequently. 1t is a
vexed and vexatious problem, and wants
to be elucidated before the real summer
weather comes on.

MORE ABOUT THAT COARSE CLOVER

To the Editor OF the Eagle
went out to look at patch Of alfalfa
to see what other advantages | could find
in its general introduction into Kansas,
and found it covered with bees.
caught several loaded workers to asser-
tain what they had in their sacks and
emptying them into my hand | found
the color a light amber the aroma dis
tinct but very agreeable and the taste
very good, so came to the conclusion,
after considering the fact that alfalfa
commences to bloom about the middle of
May and continues until frost, that this
may yet be a prosperous bee country,
notwithstanding the fact that the ma
jority of our native plants yield no honey
at all, but principally problem which
is made for tho food of young bees,
SO that the introduction of a good honey
plant like alfalfa is needed to make bee
culture a success. The climate of Kansas
could not be more favorable. At the
north it requires fifty pounds of honey to
winter a stock and the winters are so
long that the bees get SO reduced in
numbers as to require several months to
recuperate in if they don't dwindle to
nothing and get froze out. At the south
the extreme hot weather is very severe
on the bees as well as on the plants
which produce the honey. Now, the
vital temperature of the bee hive is 76
degrees, which is very near our average
summer heat, so l see nothing to hinder
making this, with alfalfa, a successful
bee country. II. Z. BIDWELL.

Gorernmental cemeterie..

It costs the United States about sixty
cents a month 10 take care of dead sol.
der who lost his life in the service of tho
Union. The sundry civil bin passed by
congress appropriated 500, 600 for ex.
penses of the national cemeteries during
the fiscal year. In addition TO this there
was the sum Of $40, 900 set aside for SAL
aries of superintendent of these burying
grounds, and there were also some odds
and ends, amounting to several thousand
dollars. for supplying headstones where
they were lacking, and so forth.
The government takes charge Of al
these cemeteries, which are under thu
direct control of the quartermaster gem
eral of the army. There are eighty-two
OF them in all. including an aggregate Of
327 900 burials. The smallest of the
burylng grounds is at Balls Bluff, where
twenty-five Federal warriors are in
TERED, only one of them identified. The
next smallest is the old battle ground on
Seventh street in this city. It would bs
much cheaper to remove the bodies rest
ing at both these places TO other loca>
tons, but sentiment accords 10 them o
claim to remain where they fell in brave
fight.
So. although only forty-three are
buried at the battle ground, superin-

salary of sixty dollars a month and
with house free for his occupancy. The
superintendent, as decreed by law, are

METEOROLOGICAL DISTURBANCES

The drouth in the south and the hot
weather in the east have been followed
by furious storms and cloudburstS in the
north and west. Nebraska, Kansas, Ar
kansas, Colorado and Illinois have all
been visited by these storms, in which
there has been great destruction of prop
erty, some injury to crops, and loss of
life, though fortunately but slight
Many people are want to say that the
climate of the country is growing worse,
and that each year shows greater atmos-
pheric disturbances and troubles; but
they will find it difficult to prove this
theory. The fact is that in a country as
great as the United States it is almost in
evitahle that some portion should be suf-
fering from unfavorable weather.
At the same time, il must be admitted
that we are little off this wear, as
nearly every section of the country has
been visited by spell of highly unfavor-
able and injurious weather.
These conditions have been predicte !
in advance by Profs. Foster and Hicks,
and with toierable accuracy despite the
general feeling of doubt that has been
entertained. These general conditions
are forecasted to continue throughout
this mouth and July, TO be succeeded BY
extremely hot weather for August and
September, and later in the fall more
and severer storms.
There is this assurance for those who
may be inclined 10 grow nervous over
such statements as these: The disturb
ances are not liable to occur simultane-
ously all over the country, nor is there
more than one chance in hundred that
any one of them will occur at any given
point.
