LYMAN j. GAGE said to a commit
tee of the House at Washington: "We
have come or seem to have come to q
time when the old ideas of military
grandeur have passed away. II
looks as though we were stepping
into an era when the trophies of in.
dustries and the triumphs of peace
were taking its place. The success OF
the exposition is triumph Of civic
industry and is worth more to the
people Of the country than five years
of military triumph" The sentiment
is worthy The facts as relating tc
the exposition do not, unfortunately,
fully bear it out. An exposition
which ought to be wholly civic in a
country which more than any upon
the face of the globe may well sing
the triumphs of peace and abstain

Chicago exposition, is in sense ap.
pertaining to it. Such an exhibition
seems entirely out Of place. 1t is the
mission of the United States to teach
peace, not TO encourage war. 1t has
an army, but a small one. Now that
the trouble on what was the Western
frontier has almost totally disap
peared with the extinguishment OF
the savage, it may be rendered q
smaller army still. OF all exhibitions
that which will give least pleasure tc

A Gigantic Temple.

In Seringham, India, is the larg.

is square, each side being mile in
length, so that 1t is four miles round.
The walls are twenty-five feet high,
and for or five feet thick, and in the
center Of each wall rises a lofty
tower. Entering the first square you
come to another, with wall as high
and four more towers. Within that
square there is another, and within
that again another-and you will find
seven squares, one within another,
crowded by thousands Of Brahmins.

The island OF Yezo, which lies
furthest north of all the Japanese

Californian Monthly, Helen Gregory
Flesher gives a very interesting ac-
count of this strange people, who are
called Amos.
Ethnologists have been unable to
establish their origin satisfactorily,
but 1T seems most probable that they
came from Asia. Indeed their own
tradition, which Mrs. Flesher gives
as follows, bears out such theory:
"Kamni, the Prince Of Asia, fell vio-
lently in love with his daughter. As
punishment for their wickedness

n. Aayrath, statistical reporter for the
department At Washington, also to the
state board Of agriculture for Kansas and
the O. 8. statistical agent at Topeka,
has made statements Of Ford county for
severalyears. From his figures we CLEAN
the following facts; Last gear the acre
age Of winter wheat in Ford county was
Is, AZ, averaging between fifteen and six
teen bushels to the acre; acreage OF rye,
7,3se, averaging sixteen bushels to the
acee.
In 1881, the acreage of wheat in this
county was $50 acres; rye. twenty acres.
Last fall there was about $1,000 acres
CT winiec wheat put IN. During The WIN
ter more or less ground is being seeded
to this grain. and by spring the acreage
will be something like 10000 acres. OF
rye there are about fifteen thousand acres
seeded.
In 1891, 800 acres were in barley
which averaged the surprising yield Of
forty-four bushels per acre. In 1881 we
had only forty-one acres. Last year we
had ., 24O acres in oats, averaging thirty
eight bushels to the acre. In ISL t was
276 acres. In 1891 the acreage of corn
was 6.404 acres. averaging twenty EIGHT
bushels to the acre. Mr.. Mayratb thinks
fully one half the wheat is still in farm
ers' hands and more than half the corn.
Martin Mohler. of the Kansas state
board of agriculture. reports about the
same average yield Of wheat per acre in
the eastern third OF Kansas as that shown
by Ford county, but gives the western
third lower. Mr.. Mayrath protested
agsins' this, claiming that the wheat
crop averaged better 10 the western third
THAI IN the central or eastern portion.
Mr.. nohler al frs. cOntended that other
western counties had not turned out so
we'll as Ford, but finally said be dare nor
publish report giving western Kansas
as large yield as the older parts of the
state, because the opinion prevailed that
those older regions give 'arger returns
per acre than the frontier. aud there
would be terrible uproar if us reports
showed differently. We have no doubt
thai Mr.. Mohler's reports are con,cien-
tiously made up in accordance with the
facts. aud presume lie was merely ,ndul-
ging in :. little badinage with oul friend
Mayrath.

The deceased has been a resident Of
this city for the past ten years or more.
Though posseSsed OF considerable prop
erty acquired by her former business Of
dealing in lsces, her tastes were simple,
and, during the time she has been among
us, her life has been passed in q quiet,
uneventful manner, loaning money and
looking after real estate investments.
Though not ostensively avoiding the So
ciety of her neighbOrs. she did not appear
inclined to intimate. confidential COM
partnership with any. No relatives ever
paid social visits to her dwelling where
she lived alone and unattended up to the
LAST few days Of her life. when kind

old age and Ia grippe had not yet extin-
guished. Her last hours of conscious
ness were the evening before her death,
when she told the friends around her
bedside that her days were numbered.
She seemed anxious that death should be
speedy, expressing the hope that she
would not survive the night aud asking
that her friends help her TO die. Shortly
Afterwards the old lady lost conscious

Among her papers was found letter

A dispatch was wired to This address and
responded to by a telegram from F. D..

of the deceased. He gave orders that the
remains be forwarded to that place. In
accordance with his directions. they
were embalmed. properly robed and
placed in metallic coffin for the last

A week or two since, quite number
of tax payers became uneasy owe. tine
apparently large amount of team work
being doue on our streets. sometimes as
many as four teams being on in one day.
All at once we were besieged by num-
Der of such citizens, urging US to do some
thing in the matter. We called on Act
ing Mayor Fitzgerald, who said the street
committee was the proper authority to
regulate this matter. That, if this COM
mittee failed to take proper action, he
would bring the matter up at the next
meeting of the council. On further in
vestigation, however. we learned that
the committee on streets and alleys had
already ordered all team work stopped.
We were further advised that three of
the four teams which had attracted so
much attention we're not on the pay rolls
Of the city, but had been moving some
dirt to I'LL cellar at the expense Of the
owner of said cellar. 1t was surplus dirt.
taken from adjoining the third ward
school house grounds, where = deep cut
was started some years ago. We further
learned that while Mr.. Sughrue's bills for
team work have been about the same as
those Of the preceding two years. much
Of the work has been hauling cinders for
street crossings, which otherwise must
have been made of planks. This has ef-
fected quite saving in lumber. besides
cinders are more durable.
On the whole, therefore, the city's in
terests have not been<6adly served.
last night, the council resolved that
no further work be done, except on di-
rect order of committee on streets and al
leys.
