A Cholera Scare in Kansas.

Considerable excitement has been
caused at Topeka, Kan, over the ar
rival of large numbers of Russians in
the state, some of whom came from
the cholera infected district. On
Thursday last car load of these peo-
pie were brought to Kansas, five fam
flies stopping in Topeka. The others
went to Willis county. Four OF the
families went to Mayetta Sunday,
leaving only one family in Topeka.
AS these people are from region on
the Volga where cholera is now raging,
fear is expressed by those who know
the circumstances that they might
bring in their boxed-up household
goods germs of the disease.

At Smithville, Mo, the other day
Peter McCanley. a farmer went to
town and got drunk He became
quarrelsome and was arrested. His
son went to town in the afternoon
and heard of his fathers disgrace.
He went to a hardware store and
purchased a revolver and cartridges.
As he went up the street he met his
father in charge of an officer. With
out a moments hesitation he pulled
out his newly-purchased weapon and
shot his father killing him instantly.
Before the officer could interfere with
the parricide he had sent a bullet
crashing into his own brain. He died
in a few minutes. The only cause
known for the crime is that the
father had disgraced himself by get
ting drunk.

1t looks like the pine forests of Nir-
ginia might be nearly all destroyed.
Reports from every section OF the
State say the trees are dying in great
numbers. In some cases whole for
ests have been known to be killed in
a few days. Commissioner Of Agri-
culture Whitehead says the pines are
being killed by u long insect with n
sharp pointed head. L bores into
the trees, causing them to soon die.
Col. Whitehead is of the opinion this
destructive insect is the same that is
found in hickory logs sometime after
they are cut when the tree is full of
sap. The worm apparently matches
in the bark of the hickory. Chest
nuts are dying the same way rs the
pines, the Commissioner says.

WE think it is not wise for our Dem
ocratic friends to underestimate the
strength of Mr.. Davis, Republican
candidate for Governor of this State.
Mr.. Davis is solid, substantial man,
OF much ability and considerable po-
litical sagacity, and is popular wher-
ever he is known. We think it ex-
tremely fortunate for the Democrats
that they have to oppose him such a
wide-awake, active and able candi-
date as Col. MacCorkle.

There is not a Democratic editor
in the land from Cape Cod to Sa n
Francisco, from Lake Itaska to Key
West, who is not today buying the
very paper on which he prints his
Mckinley prices falsehoods for less
money than he paid before the Nc
Kinley bill was passed. We know of
our own personal knowledge that it
is true Of the New York dailies-one
of them is saving $50, 900 year in the
fall OF the price of its paper below the
price actually paid for it before the
new tariff was enacted. The Ameri-
can Protective Tariff League will pay
81, 900 to that Democratic editor who
will show that paper of the quality
and kind used by him to publish his
Mckinley prices falsehoods cannot be
purchased in the open market from 5
to 40 per cent cheaper than it cost I'M
der the old tariff.-American Economist.
HAND over that thousand dollars I!
The REGISTER is paying just as much
now for its paper as it did before the
Mckinley bill passed, purchasing in
open market and always keeping an
eye open for low prices. Indeed, the
last paper we bought cost half cent
a pound more than we have been pay
ing heretofore. We haven't yet seen
where the Mckinley bill has helped
the printers.

VIZ regret to notice that white
winged peace is not lowering over
the Democratic camp in this vicinity
just now, but that, on the contrary,
bitter talk and unwise actions are
prevalent. This is all wrong from a
party standpoint, and can only re-
suit in harm to the Democracy. We
would admonish the side that won in
the recent primary election that the
November election is yet to come off;
and to the friends of the defeated
candidates we would say that, having
entered the primariesin good faith,
every honorable mai is bound to
support the nominees-but neither
side should keep up the bitterness.
Let both sides keep cool.
