STRONGER THAN IN 1890.

A special from Topeka to the Kan
sas City Star last Thursday says:
Col. A. A. Harris, of Fort Scott,
one of the few Democratic leaders of
the state, is in town today and in
speaking Of.the campaign said:
In my district the Democrats are
feeling somewhat better over MOOre's
chances for election, but many Of
them are yet very sore. The Repub-
licanS seems to be conducting the
campaign with a view to reclaiming
Peoples party men. The Democrats
held the key to the situation and the
work should be done among them.
1t is true in my own country, and so
far as | can judge, it holds good
throughout the state, that the PeO-
pies party is as strong as it was two
years ago."

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
hrs Emery ID. Harmon the Victim of an
Overdose of Morphine

There was a sad case of accidental
death in Deering, last evening, Mrs. En-
cry D. Harmon dying of an overdose OF
morphine. For some years Mrs. Hal
mon has been subject to attacks OF Ill
ness, during which she suffered great
pain. To relieve this distress, morphine
had been prescribed, and Mrs. Harmon
had been in tho habit of taking it. Yes
terday afternoon, Mrs. Harmon came IN
to the city with her husband and her
mother, Mrs. Sarah P. Mason. Mrs.
Harmon was then apparently in good
health. She returned to her home, and
later complained of feeling i'll. she
sank into stupor, and died at $50. DR..
Topliff was called, but her life could not
be saved. On the dressing case in Mrs.
Harmon's room was some morphine
powder, and in the opinion of the physl-
clan an overdose Of this caused her
death. Mrs. Harmon had taken some OF
the powder after being taken i'll, and
must have made mistake in the dose.
Mrs. Harmon was 80 years old.

RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
In Future Men Who Enter 1t Mvst be of
Strong Physique.

Tt is not improbable that at, the next
civil service examination at the post Of
fee, which is to occur in the first part OF
February, candidates for appointment to
the railway mail service will be required
to undergo a much stricter physical ex-
animation than heretofore. The civil
service commission are preparing new
regulations for applicants for POSITIONS
in the railway mail service; butt is not
known by the federal officials here
whether these regulations will be in
force at the next examination or not.
The commission take the ground that
the work of the railway mail service is
so hard as to require men of the strong
est physique. Therefore they will re-
quire of applicants aNcertificate from a
physician upon his honor before the ap-
plicant is subjected to the educational
requirements that he is in every way
qualified for the physical strain. A Sc
RES of questions has been prepared
which the physician must answer. NO
one is eligible for the educational tests
who is below feet inches, or under
1875 pounds in weight, or concerning
whom negative answers are given by ply
sicians to the following two questions
lis the applicant, in your opinion, capa-
BILE of prolonged, severe, mental and
physical exertion, and equal to the de.
mands of very exhausting occupation,
''Is the applicant free from any form OF
disease or disability which units him at
present, or is likely to unfit him in the
future, for the performance of the class
of work described in the next preceding
question: The commission reserve the
right to have the applicant examined
again after he has passed the education,
al tests. at the discretion of the postal
authorities, as to his condition.

THE FAITHFUL.
They Came When They Saw Mr.. sweetsir's
Sky Rockets Bursting In the Air.

There was quite an excitement up at the
corner of Cumberland and High streets
last evening that would have seemed
much like Fourth of July affair, had
the weather been just right. MI. ALVIN
D. Swcetsir was celebrating Andrew
jackson Day. Over his doorway burned
a series of gas jets so arranged as to spell
the once magic word jackson" while
near by hung large American nag, with
clasped hands on it, surrounded by four
stars, labelled North, South, East and
West. Within there were even more
signs of celebration. The rooms up
stairs and down were decorated with
flags, bunting and pictures. There were
several pictures of Jackson, at different
periods of his life, and portraits OF
George Washington, Tilden, thurman,
Cleveland and Governor Russell. David
B. Hill was not represented. 1t is MI.
Sweetsir's custom to entertain the Whoie
upper ten of the Democratic party OF
Portland on these occasions, and his hos
pitable home was all arranged for them
last evening. To make the arrangements
more complete, hickory slabs were placed
in corners and stood up by doorways.
From 7 to s o'clock on jackson nights
Nh. Sweetsir abides on the house top and
shoots rockets and Roman candles into
the air. This summons the clans, and by
o'clock they begin to come. First on
the scene last evening was the patriarchal
Joshua Emery, who speaks of Jackson as
ssthe first man I hoora-ed for IN ~.
Uncle Benjamin Smith is not far behind
him, and then come Ex-Surveyor Nathan
Cleaves, Geo. L. SWEET, Geo. Q. Gosse
and other faithful. Some who could not
come but sent letters were Messrs. S. G.

tertainment. Speeches were made by

New Drain for the Jail.

The county commissioners inspected
the drains at the county jail yesterday
and found them in bad condition. The
old drain is of brick and runs under the
building. 1t has no traps and was found
to be heavily charged with gas. The
commissioners decided that to put this
drain in good condition was out of the
question, and decided to put in six inch
iron pipe above ground. They will also
turn the water from the cutters into this
drain. This will give ventilation above
the building. The work will be done by
