the photographers trade has increased enor-

sterllngi Is being formed for the express pur-
pose Of unifying half dozen of the studios Of
which the Court ladies and other women to

Merrill, of Franklin county; A. F.
Allen, of Douglas also a number
of assistant lecturers and visitors.
The evening session took up the
sub-treasury plan and discussed it
thoroughly for over three hours, at
the close of which a vote of thanks
was rendered the Citizens Alliance
for the use of their hall, and the
body adjourned to meet in three
months. A. II. HARRIS,
Secretary.
The above official report of the
district lecture bureau will give our
readers the business part Of the
meeting. On the evening of the
18th, the county lecturers, Edwin
Snyder and several visitors discuss
ed at length the sub-treasury plan,
it's good or bad features as the case
might be. The defenders of the
sub-treasury plan were largely in
the majority as to numbers, as well
in eloquence and argument. Among
the younger men who discussed the
question, was N. F. Jacknon, of
Linn county. He is a forcible
speaker, and will, some day, stand
high among his fellow men.
On Thursday afternoon, A. F.
Allen addressed a fair audience at
the court house. He was followed
by DR.. Merrill, of Rantoul, in
speech of about twenty minutes, in
which time he walked the monkeys
up considerably.
In the evening, the Alliance peo-
ple again listened to Mr.. Allen and
DR.. Merrill. We cordially invite
these friends, one and all, to again
visit our city, for we feel that it
was good for us that you were here.

DISTRICT LECTURE BUREAU.
The County Lecturers Of the Sec.
Ond District Organize for EfA
fective Work. Bylaws.

Pursuant to call OF the District
Lecturer, A. F. Allen, the county
lecturers Of the Second congress
ional district Of Kansas met at
Garnett, Kansas, Wednesday, Aug.
18th, and organized themselves into
the Second District Lecture Bureau.
Six counties were represented in
the meeting. By virtue of the call
Mr.. Allen was chairman, and A. II.
Harris was elected temporary secre-
tary.
An interesting talk by Bro. Ed
win Snyder, of the American Live
Stock Commission Co., took up
some time, and he fully explained
the business features Of our order
the dissemination of such informa-
tion being the purpose of our meet
ing. He detailed closely the
business of his company, and urged
the lecturers to make special
feature of cooperation and the up
building of our enterprises in their
educational work in the future. We
all were benefited by these remarks,
and must agree with the speaker,
that the true business features of
our noble order are neglected to a
dangerous degree. Short addresses
were made by several of those
present and it was determined to
proceed to organize ourselves i'll
connection with the state bureau.
A motion to that effect carried
unanimously. By motion which
carried without a dissenting voice,
committee of three was appointed
on constitution and bylaws, con-
sisting of S. R. Price, N. F. Jack
son and A. H. Harris. They
reported as follows

FUN FOR SAILORS.

How Crews Were Made Up by s.shang-
 haied" Recruits.
 The practice of kidnapping or ''shang- haieing" seamen appears to have fallen into innocuous desuetude. Sailors are too common in these days of steam craft to oblige master mariners to man their forecastles through the treachery of land-sharks. In the days of the Cali fornia gold craze every vessel sailing into the Golden Gate was almost sure to lose its crew to man through de- sertion. It was the same in Australian ports when fortune hunters from all parts of the globe swarmed to the Bal karat and other diggings.
 Woe betide the poor devils frequent ing resorts along shore in those days if they drank too much or found them selves alone with the harpies who dealt in human flesh and blood. Nobody cared whether the victim, hoisted over the fall like bag of meal, was drunk, drugged or beaten to insensibility. When he came to himself he would be miles and miles from land, with three or six months voyage ahead, and nothing left for him to do but make the best of his situation and obey orders.
 An old Cape Cod sea captain was talk ing on this subject recently and related a little circumstance that came under his own observation. His ship had been loaded and lying in San Francisco harbor for a month, waiting for a crew. An offer of liberal wages failed induce single foremast hand to ship for voyage to Liverpool, and as last resort he offered a shipping agent a bounty of S100 head for any man he put aboard. That evening his crew was completed, and with the assist ance of boarding-houss runners and longshoremen the ship was got un- der way and put to sea, the cap- tain, mates and steward running her short-handed until morning. When day broke the captain thought it well to look his men over. Most of them had slept off the potations, and five of them staggered to the deck, when called, in a very shaly condition. Four of them proved sailors, and the fifth was a grocer's clerk. Hearing noth- ing from the other four, he went below to investigate. The first one he looked at was Chinaman. Bucket after bucket of water was dashed in his face without avail, and, when at last he was dragged on deck, it was dis covered that he had been dead several days. The other three were aroused by the racket and came creeping up the narrow companionway. Imagine the captains surprise at three full-fedged cowboys! He says he shall never for get the astonishment and dismay with which they gazed aloft and at the dreary waste of water, stretching away on every hand. Luckily their kidnap- pers had deprived them of their weap- ons, or there would have been mutiny then and there. Before they saw land again all three had become fair sailors. They had one weakness that made life burden to the cook, an old darl1y. They had fashion of conveting the halyards into lariat and lassoing the ''professor, whenever he stuck his head beyond the galley door.-Bostor Traveller.

CHAPTER XIII.
ONE MINrrr TOO LATE.


 It was two hours after midnight when Captain Starbright and a companion were ushcred into the sick room at Lone Hollow. "How is he!" questioned the Captain of the girl, who sat beside the couch.
 "He has been very restless" answered Grace, in a voice that evincei deep anxiety II have brought something that may do him good," and the Captain produced a small bottle from an inner pocket, and poured part of the contents into glass that stood on a stand at the bedside.
 The old man refused to touch it, however. He glared at the Captains companion and growlcd:
 A doctor-a miserable leechl Did 1 not tell you 1t was lawyer wanted7'' And have brought one. Allow me to introduce my friend Gripes, Mir. Vandible." " The sick man glared at the bald little man who bobbed his head in recognition of the introduction. Mir. Gripes was thin tc attenuation, with projecting gray brows, deep set ferret eyes, and wrinkled neck and cheeks, the very personification of a sharp attorney.
 He polished his hat with his elbow and stood ready to make himself useful. The Captain glanced at Grace, then at the old man on the bed. He nodded to the girl | who understood, and walked from the room with the assurance that she would be called if her presence was needed. Clearing his throat Lawyer Gripes as. sumed seat at the bedside, depositing his hat under the medicine-stand, and then said in q low, insinuating voice:
 "I understand that you wish some legal papers drawn, Mir. Vandible 2'' 'I want will made," returned the old | man, bluntly, and far from weakly. I "Exactly, exactly" rubbing his hands to- gether rapidly. Il suppose you have de cided upon the terms of this will 2"

oUTwTTINe THE FACULTY.

Various Devices of Students to Pass EX-
 animation Without Study.
 At recent meeting of a number ot college men in Hartford, conversation happened to drift to the trials and struggles of examination days. It was led that way by the story-teller, who said that, having been at one eXamlna- ton where each student drew sepa- rate slip of questions, he met class mate who had to go in with the next division. ''The thing is not likely to be a chance" he said to his friend, but in case you should draw the paper l had I'll tell you what each question was So he did. The fellow looked them up, went in, and drew that very paper, and came out triumphant.
 But that proved very mild case when the others came up. It seems that in one examination at Yale some years ago in Latin one fellow, who was very shal1y, put his own underlined textbook into his overcoat pocket and entered the room. He was called to the desk and the tutor gave him textbook, of course not interlined. He showed it into his other pocket, walked slowly back to his seat, drew out his own book 1AOA4 DOChSb, hA(l " ttS dl1 PAS PGtANNA' After reciting, before the tutor could call for the book, he absent-mindedly thrust it back into his pocket and turned away. Being asked for the book he apologized, hauled out the other one and retired.
 Once in alumni hall at Yale a shaky student who couldn't bear to part with his class discovered in advance a knot hole in the floor. He secured the desk by that hole. Pretty soon he had the misfortune to drop his pencil. Bending l over he showed his examination paper down through this knot-hole. Fellow! in waiting in the cellar ran off with it filled out papers for him, not too well but we'll enough to save him, for per fectly-correct examination was not con sistent with his record, and on return ing signaled to him. This time he haC the misfortune to knock lot of pape, off his table and litter the floor. H. got down and concientiously picked yvery thing up, including the relief pa pers that came up through the knot hole.
 At another time, where papers wer' drawn, one fellow drew two by sleight of-hand process, passed on one, surren dered it, and went out. Then he gav the extra one to lame friend, who a once ''crammed" that paper. Then h went in, drew his paper, and calml substituted the one he knew, passint well on it, and carrying away, fo what might be termed outdoor relief the paper that he drew. This was kep going all day.
