EUROPE swELrERING.

The Most Intense Heat That Has Ever Been
Experienced on the Continent.
VIENNA, August 22.-This city is sweltering
beneath heat that is more intense than has
ever prevailed here within the memory of
the living. It is not believed that such trop-
ical warmth has ever before been experienced
in Austria. The mercury has reached ITO
have been stopped and the whole city lies
idle and suffering. Several persons have
died from sunstroke.
BERIIN.-The heat throughout Germany
continues intense. The thermometer in this
city registered so degrees in the shade. Ow-
ing to the fear that workmen in the Spandau
gun factory would be Frustrated by the heat,
operations were suspended there. Instruc-
ton in the municipal schools were suspended
because of the hot weather. This action was
taken by the school authorities IN conse
quence of request from the emperor.
PARIs.-The heat is lessening in Paris and
the people are looking forward to mere en-
durable weather. The change in the tenn
perature has already brought about marked
change in the appearance of the people, and
the bOulevards are crowded with people com
parlng their experiences during the hot
weather.
BUDA PEsrH. - Dispatches from Vienna
state that the thermometer registers ITO de-
grees in the shade there. But in this city
with the mercury at that point the weather
will be regarded as comparatively endurable.
Here the mercury touched 116 degrees in the
shade, and were it not for the fact that the
air is dry, life would be scarcely endurable
under the conditions prevailing.

Guthrie's Can Called Down.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 22.-Joe Guth-
RE, the Cherokee strip cattlemen, has been
heard from again. His attorney. Colonel
William A. Phillips, of Salina, wires the
general of the army as follows:
''Mr. Guthrie te1egraphs me the troops are
mixing his cattle with diseased stock and
hurrying him, causing great loss. AS he
was authorized to be there, 1 ask that he be
given time enough to ship and remove his
stock. Am here sick"
The message was referred to the interior
department, and in due time reached Com
missioner Morgan, of Indian affairs. He
answered it as follows:
referring to said telegram, I have the
honor to state this Office has given no one
any authority to go or remain upon the
Cherokee outlet, and has no knowledge or
information whatever as to any authority
being granted to Mr.. Guthrie or any one
else to either hold or Craze cattle or other
stock upon the Cherokee outlet"
Concerning the matter the commissioners
said he had been annoyed to some extent by
statement in the papers from Guthrie to the
effect that he had authority to hold cattle on
the strip. If he had the authority as claimed,
the commissioner thought it good time to
present it and protect his interests.

BISMARCK is showing in more way

BISMARCK is showing in more ways
than one that he does not intend to
grow old any faster than he can pos
sibly help. Not only does he show
this in his vigorous and aggressive
policy toward the young Emperor, but
when Count Bismarck was welded
the other day. the Prince kissed the
hand of his daughter-in-law. When
asked why he did this, his reply was:
''bfy old master used to say that
when a lady kisses your hand it is an
official intimation that you are an old
man. AS long, however, as you are
allowed to carry a lady's tiny hand to
your lips, depend upon it there is a
drop of young blood somewhere in
your veins" 1t is evident that there
is plenty OF blood and iron yet in the
old mans body.

MOST of the violence inflicted on
the captured Pinkerton men at Home
stead, was the work of Infatuated
women. While the terrified men
were being led through the throng Of
strikers, feminine voices were heard
calling upon husbands and sons tc
avenge the deaths of their comrades
One Pinkerton man was thrown upon
the ground and tramped on by women.
and another was struck in the face
and nearly killed by a stone. Only
by the greatest vigilance on the part
of the strikers was dire vengeance
prevented. Several women seized an
elderly prisoner and would have
burned him to death. after pouring
oil over him, had they not been for
chilly prevented. This extraordinary
ferocity, which frequently has shown
itself in times of bloodshed and great
excitement, is a strange attribute Of
the feminine nature. Woman, usu-
ally all heart, patience and softness,
sometimes throws aside all restraint
and becomes a veritable fury.

THE amount of learning which is
supposed to be turned loose upon the
world at each Commencement season
becomes larger and larger each year,
but it has not been observed that
there is as yet any indication of an
inclination on the part of the public
to stand back and let the University
men manage everything. They may
be better equipped than the rest of
the world, but in the struggle for life
they have to make their fight with
the comElonest and most ignorant.
They have to learn that valuable as
requirements are, it j. in the long
run character that vanquishes.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Seneca letter: The Methodists have
purchased the Moulton corner on Main
street, and are preparing the ground
and getting material on the premises
for the erection of a commodious
church. They expect to spend not less
than $4,000 for the building. The Uni
versalists have just warmed" their
fine new brick parsonage and their
pastor has now full, peaceful possession.
Manhattan Nationalist: The dedica-
ton OF the new German Evangelical
church, corner of Poyntz avenue and
Sixth street, took place last Sunday.
The members, many friends. and num-
be- of brethren from Topeka, Wamego,
Alma and Riley assembled at 10 o'clock
in the chapel of the Presbyterian church,
their place of meeting for several years,
and marched from there in procession
to the new church, which had been
tastefully decorated. The exercises
were conducted by the regular pastor,
Rev. Dietel, of Topeka, and the presid-
ing elder of Kansas, Rev. Darkman, of
MarysVille. The afternoon exercises,
which were attended by many Ameri-
cans, were partly English, and were
conducted by Rev. D. @. Miner, of
Manhattan; Rev. Kupfernagel, of Wells
Greek, and Rev. Dietel, of Topeka.
Including the lot, it has cost about
$4,000, and we are informed by Mr..
Priboth, the treasurer of the building
committee, that the entire indebtedness,
after deducting small sum of unpaid
subscriptions, will amount to less than
500. That some thoughtful friend has
presented the church with a fine choir
organ, we have already stated in last
weeks issue.

THE trouble with gossip is that
nine-tenths Of it is not true. 1t may
be that when people do bad things,
other people have a right to talk
about them, but the trouble is that
many victims of gossip are not guilty.
There is so much danger in doing
wrong in spreading gossip that most
decent people have resolved not to do
it. There is a rule in the best news
paper offices that sensational things
should not be published until there
is a shooting, or a case in court, and
the rule would be a good one for gen.
eral adoption. The best people don't
talk gossip even when they know it
is true; it is a waste of time, and can
only result in disgusting people with
humanity in general. But to talk it
Unfortunately is to aid malicious
persons in injuring innocent ones.
The favorite weapon of malicious
people is gossip; you aid them to pun
ish deserving people by repeating
their talk. A man or woman guilty
of an offense is very apt to accuse
others of the same Offense on slight
provocation. The people most given
to gossip are usually guilty them
selves This rule very seldom fails.
The cleanest and best people do the
least gossiping. We do not believe
in reveling in a scandalous story even
when 1T is VIGOROUSLY true, but it is a
moral crime to repeat gossip on hear
say, for the reason that you are very
apt to injure innocent people. Nearly
every one has personal knowledge of
scandalous stories that are untrue,
but they were talked about with great
vigor in spite of the fact that they
injured innocent people. This is
worth remembering in every case of
gossip: it may be untrue. The chances
are nine to one that it is untrue
If people realized the harm gossip
does innocent people, they would quit
it starting stories'' is the favorite
weapon of the meanest people, and
good people should not encourage
| them.
