Kansas Temperanoe Union.

ToPEKA.-The Kansas Temperance union
closed its two days session after adopting
the following resolutions, which we're pre-
ceded by preamble reciting the benefits of
prohibition:
Resolved. That we earnestly call upon all
judges, county attorneys, sheriffs, police
commissioners, and other officers of what
ever grade, faithfully to discharge their
sworn duties in the enforcement of all laws.
We deplore the non-enforcement of the
law in certain localities of this state, and, be-
lieYing that the sentiment of the people Is
undiminished, we lay the fault at the door OF
the state and county officials charged with
the enforcement of the law; and we pledge
our aid and encouragement to proceedings
for the removal and punishment of such OH
GERS who refuse to do their duty, and call
upon all prohi bitionlsts, and other law abld-
ing citizens, to assist US to this end.
We respectfully urge upon all churches
and temperance organizations, upon all w.
{. 4. u. associations, to whose fidelity our
cause owes much, and l. d. o. Good Temp
lars, all editors. ministers and teachers, all
citizens of every avocatiOn; the necessity OF
renewed exertions on all lines of work, both
moral and legal. While We avail ourselves
of the strong arms of the law, we insist, as
we have always done. upon the prime lmpor-
tance or moral influences, and of education
given in the home, in the school, and from
the platform and pulpit
We recognize the valuable service rendered
to our cause by the w. c. T. O., and the In
dependent Order of Good Templars, and all
other Temperance organizations; and we as
sure the members of those organizations OF
our cheerful cooperation with them IN their
work.
We heartily approve of the Metropolitan
police system, and we believe the honest and
fearless discharge of their duty by the police
commissioners will secure for larger cities
the efficient and economical enforcement of
the law; and in the interest of the public we
respectfully demand of the governor of the
state that the police commissioners shall rem
der such discharge of their duty, or that, IN
failure to do SO, they shall be summarily re-
moved.
We express to the prohibitionists of Iowa,
the Dakotas and other prohibitOry states,
our most earnest wishes for their success IN
the important contest in which they are now
engaged.
The address concluded as follows:
We have lived to see the general closing of
saloons in this state. The corrupt educating
power of the saloon in Kansas Is gone, and
gone to stay. But our work Is not COM
pleted. We ask all, of whatever platform or
creed, all men and women who love their
families and their homes, to join with US in
the struggle to reach the day whens by the
grace of God, we shall have locked the door
of the last JOINT in the state OF Kansas. We
shall hold our ground. We shall move for
ward to assured and glorious victory. APP
pealing to the intelligence and conscience of
our fellow citizens, we again throw aloft the
old banner, storm worn, but with blaZonry
undimmed, for truth and right, for our fam
lies and homes.

"a girl who sits ungracefully is a
rarity" said an artist to a New York
Sum reporter. THE sex's poses on q
chair are instinctively and uncon-
sciously slightly. Then why will not
girls practice good carriage? They
spend hours Of prayer and effort over
their hands and makeup, yet every
body knows a fine figure is the most
important requisite OF all. Any face
can be rendered attractive by express
sion. Any face for which we care be-
comes beautiful to Us. But even love
can only soften dislike to regret over
round-shouldered, hollow-chested form.
Good carriage induces a good figure.
1t at least throws such lines as you
have into an adjustment of harmony.

A short neck is forgotten if ones head

their time bathing, rubbing, and exer-
cising, they would have something to
show for it. Instead, they sit around
in masks or make themselves hideous

scriptions, and oils, and they don't

Many women, especially those addicted

WAsHISGroS, d. C., September 16--George

bureau. vas able to give some interesting
data concerning the mortgage indebtedness
of Kansas He rushed the investigation in
Kansas in response to the general demand
for information.
The counties showingthe largest indebted

So, 629, $50; Shawnee, 81, 962, O90.
These three counties show Is per cent of
the indebtedness of the entire state, while
they contain only 10 per cent. of the DOpula-
ton.
The Indebtedness Of these three counties
ndded to that of Cowley, Dickinson, Reno
and Sumner counties show % per cent of
the total for the state, while the population
OF these seven counties Is only Is per cent. of
the total population Of the state, and their
indebtedness Il larger than that of any other
seven counties in Kansas.
special investigation was made in the
counties OF Decatur. Jefferson, Lincoln, Lyon
and Fawnee, the object being to find out for
what purpose the people borrowed the money
The special work was distributed over the
state IN such a way that the information Sc
cured would serve as a reliable basis from
which to make far estimate of the entire
state.
The investigation shows that of the money
borrowed between the years of 80 and 's9 in
Decatur county, 81 ESSr cent was used as
purchase money IN making improvements
and IN business enterprises; for same pur-
poses IN jefferson county. 81 per cent; Lin
coin, q per cent Lyon, 70 per cent; Paw
nee. a per cent. of the money borrowed
about per cent. was turned to business en-
terprises-
Superintendent Porter said to the reporter
that 1t was fair to conclude that three
fourths Of the money borrowed in Kansas
had been used in purchasing lands, making
improvements and in business enterprises.
Inc remaining quarter was placed in the
column of miscellany and could not be clas-
slnsd with any degree of satisfaction.
Ihe investigation concerning the interest
paid on loans throughout the state shows
that 10 per cent and less is paid on So per
cent of the total indebtedness. More than
Y per cent IS paid on less than per cent of
the total Indebtedness. This shows that over
half the money loaned in Kansas Is drawing
between 10 and II per cent interest.

A Million Letters Mailed.

ST. PAUL. September 16.-Farmers' all.-
ance leaders in Minnesota and North and
South Dakota have resolved upon another
attempt to stop the tremendous flow of wheat
to the markets.
The receipts in Minneapolis and Duluth
for last week have run from 500 to ], 800 cars
every day. At this rate the alliance people
assert that 10000, 600 bushels of wheat in
the hard belt will be out of the farmers hands
before January l, and their haste Will put
the price back to 50 cents.
The alliance, therefore, began mailing
from it's headquarters million letters to
farmers, calling a halt eli along the line.
The letter states that the new wheat growers
association and alliance secretaries all over
the country are unanimous that wheat Is
bound to sell as high as S1.50 and possibly
81 per bushel, and they are unanimous in
this warning to farmers not to sacrifice their
wheat and give Spectators all the profit there
is IN it The letter says the crop Is being
greatly over estimated by newspapers and
grain dealers, and continues, 1--WE do not be-
lieve the majority of farmers are foolish
enough to cooperate with the spectators to
depress prices further. There is no question
but that prices will take turn upward in
few days The shortage in Europe can now
be figured with accuracy.
about a week ago a congress of grain deal
ers from all parts of Europe met at Vienna
and computed the figures about the crops in
raised 25S, 600 900 bushels, 100000 less
than last year. Last year 1t consumed all of
its own wheat crop and at least $1,000, 600 of
reserves; 100, OOO,O0 was imported from
America; all that other countries could sup
ply, and 1t had its rye crop besides This
year 1t viii have from America 10, 900
bushels more than last year, If we take the eZ-
treme figures which any reputable authorities
have made. for our really splendid crop. IL

supply, which Is Insignificant, but will have
74S. 900, 600 bushels less of its own crop and
$1,000, 600 bushels less TO draw from other
countries, and 10000, 900 bushels from
America to make up the deficiency, 796, Co.,
600, and It must consequently eat 678, 600 900
bushels less grain
when il is entirely certain that the Euro
peans Will have to economic in bread to the
extent of $4,000 600 bushels and when the
situation Is aggravated by a partial failure
of the potato crop, the prices they will pay
for American wheat viii be higher than ever

YeIlow Rova ComInp

NEW YORK, September 1.-THE Post says:
Lower rates for sterling exchange have prac-
tically touched the gold importing point. and
it will not be surprising if large amount of
gold comes this way at once from the CONT
nent. The struggle of the Bank of England
to retain its gold through the interpositiOn
of artificial obstacles has not yet begun. It
is safe TO say the best informed bankers,
both here and in London, expect that in the
end Great Britain will have to join to a con-
siderable extent in the shipment of gold to
the United States Bankers correspondents
in London are eagerly watching for a chance
to get gold on profitable terms, but thus far
the bank has been able to checkmate them
by the high price fixed by it for gold bars. a
further drop IN sterling rates, however, may
easily Justify the importation of sOYereigns.

Colorado RaIIroaa Newe.

DENVER, Col, September 1s.-One of the
greatest sensations in western railroad circles
ever known will be made public within the
next few days. The Atchison, Topeka q
Santa Fe railroad, through the capable direc-
ton of President Marvel, has proven itself
the conqueror in western railroad business.
The sensation in question is no less than a
consolidation between the Santa Fe route
and the Denver 81 Rio Grande railroad,
whereby the latter will be a feeder to the
former. This arrangement has been con-
summated through the efforts of Attorney
George r. Peck, of the Santa Fe railroad.
This new arrangement will cause the Bur
ington and other lines TO build westward,
since the Santa Fe now virtually controls all
the Colorado roads.

country of the national party of Hawaii, cor

when made. The president was interested
by the letter and asked Senior MarenO to

The Pos+ Saws

NEW YORK, September 19.-The Post says
Three and half millions of gold are now on
the way from Europe TO this country. most
of it probably in American coin, and large
share acquired by the practical advancing by
bankers here of the premium demanded by
foreigners. This gold has all been picked
up among private banking establishment:
on the other side The great boards of the
Bank of France and Bank of England have
not yet been touched. The English bank in
particular maintains a fuctuation and pro-
hibitory price on gold bars and American
coin Some surprise is expressed that the
London agents of our banks have not de-
manded British gold coin for shipment. Ex-
change rates are at a figure where an appar.
ent profit might be secured on such trans
action, and of course the bank could charge
no premium.
