object Plainly stated

and accompanied by the reasons.
These motions and proposals areacon-
sideTed by what is called the triple coun-
Gil or cantonal legislature, which CLASH
fieS all under two heads, ''expedient"
and t'inexpedient." To secure a place
under the head of "expedient" the pro-
poSal must receive two votes in the
council. The rejected propositions may
be brought up by the assembly on a
majority vote; but in this case. consider
alton of it must be deferred for one year
In the larger assemblies no debate is
for adoption or rejection Of the PROPOSE
tiOD. But IN the smaller states the line
is not so tightly drawn. A secret vote
it is taken by show of hands. The
election of officers is made i'll the same
way, except that nominations may be
made on the spot, and need not be sent
in by petition.
The object of Mr.. Stephens resolu-
ton was to secure an investigation into
the workings of this scheme of direct
legislation in Switzerland, with the idea
of introducing plank into the Repub-
lican state platform this year indorsing
il. In offering the resolution he face
tiously remarked that the Republicans
must get up some scheme to meet the
subtreasury and other Authorizations of
the Alliance. There is undoubtedly
great deal of merit in the scheme, which,
if carried out, would change the govern
ment from representative one into
pure democracy. All our laws are made

THE FREAK OF A SUICIDE CLUB.
Reducing the Remains of One of Their Num-
her To ASheR.


Chicago, Ill.,, July IA strange and
Welrdly dramatic scene was enacted last
night on the south shore Of Lake NIichi-
gan. AT the base of the great ridge OF
glstening white sand near the waters
there was lighted a funeral pyre, and all
that was mortal of Morris Allen Collins,
president of the Dallas (rex) Suicide
Club, was, by his own written request,
reduced to ashes. The White Chapel
Club, of this city, had charge OF the
strange ceremony.
A torch was applied to q pile of pitch
soaked wood at 1880 o'clock, and during
the five hours that the body burned, i'm
preSSive ceremonies We're performed, con-
siSting Of music, recitations and addresses.
Collins committed suicide July Sth, by
shooting himself through the head, in his
room ON West Madison street He was
forty years old, and the son of Rev. Sam
uel Collins, Il Methodist minister who
settled in Texas early In the fOrtieS. The
scene Of the cremation was by far the
most deSolate spot that could be found
in the vicinity of Chicago. The building
Of the funeral pyre occupied eight men $
time during the greater part Of the day.
When completed it stood eighteen feet
long, eight feet wide, and twenty feet
high.
In addition to the members of the
White Chapel Club, q considerable num-
Der Of their friends from the city We're
present at the ceremonies, besides half
q hundred country people, attracted b.
curiosity. >nrt -.
The body Of Collins, draped in a 1,nt.a
robe, was taken from its casket and
placed an top Of the pile. The White
Chappelers lighted their torches and
marched three times around the pile, sing
ing 81 dirge. The fire was started. the
club chaplain, W. G. Thomas,
delivered a characteristic address.
which was followed by other
addresses by the members. AOurnfully
the harps and either played the sad notes
of an "elegy" and the funeral sermon
was delivered by Dwight Baldwin, At
last came the ceremony Of gathering the
ashes With trowels made and plated for
the occasion the few charcd remains OF
the body We're reverently placed IN tenn
porary urn. Bearing this the company
returned to the city long after sunrise
this morning.

Nailed Himself to n Post.

From The Ansonia Sentinel.
Arson Smith, of Shelton Center, wooden
legged veteran, tells a funny story about him:
self Mr. Smith set to work to make a frame
for the support OF his tomato vines. 10 keep
the posts steady while mailing the Stats he
placed his left or wooden leg, against them
and drove the nails home with vim. After
mailing one end he started to go to the next
posi- but found, to his surprise, he could not
move. Visions of paralysis flashed over his
mind, but on examining carefully he found he
had driven the nail through Stat and post into
his wooden leg and that he was nailed fast
to the tomato frame.

Chetopa Democrat: The new NJ Z.
& T. depot will be ready for occupancy
in few days. It has been very slow
work putting on the finishing touches.
Speaking of the Santa Fe railroads
prospects, the financial letter of CordIey
& Co, of Boston contained this: 'fKan-
sas, on which the Atchison system in
reality is based, seems to have really
entered on one of its cycles of good
years, commencing with last year. So
far this year the state has nearly COM
pleted the harvest of approximately TO-
600, 900 bushels of good quality No.
Chicago grade) wheat, exceeding last
years banner record by some Is, 600. 900
bushels. This is, If our recollection
serves us right, the largest crop Of wheat
ever raised IN any state. The corn crop
in Kansas, while some seven to ten days
late (but rapidly gaining), is in prime
condition at the moment, with no reason
to specially fear any accidents that will
set it back, or reduce the expected yield
of from 1OO,OOO,OOO to 100000
bushels, though of course the grain is
never absolutely safe until cut. The
heavy traffic in sight, together with the
officially announced successful reorgan-
ization of the company's finances, ought
to advance the market price of the com
pany's stock quite materially"

STOCK AND FARM.

Jewell City Republican: Billy Ed
wards has fifty acres of wheat that re-
quired 200 pounds of Irvine in binding
-four pounds to the acre.
Centralia letter: Lee Kincaid has fin
ished threshing his wheat, which was
the first threshed here this season, and
it yielded a fraction over twenty three
bushels to the acre by weight, and
Melted him exactly $14 per acre.
F. A. Lane, of jamestown, shipped
his cattle over the Missouri Pacific to
Atchison and the Rock Island to Chica-
go, making the run in thirty hours. It
is said this is the fastest time ever
made by a stock train between these
points.
Ingalls, Union: There are twelve
steam threshing machines in Gray
county and three that are run by horse
power. It will keep them all very busy
until snow flies to clean up what thresh-
ing there is to do. This is not a bad
showing for new county.
From Humboldt: Some of the wheat
in this vicinity was hardly worth har-
vesting, as was proven when it was
threshed. We heard of one ffteen-acre
patch that only yielded total of nine
teen bushels barely enough to seed
the same land again. The rust ruined
the wheat here this season.
Wichita special: G. E. Eisenmayer,
one of the biggest grain buyers of this
section, who has just returned from a
tour of the western part of the state, re-
ports the ccrn crop almost total fail
ure. When he went westward, early in
the week, the prospect was bright; but
now he says from the west line of King
man county to the Colorado line, dis
lance of $50 miles, all the corn has been
burnt up by the intense heat of the past
four days.

TWO New Railroads.


The Pittsburg, Fort Smith & Sonth-
ern Railroad company has fled a
charter.
The company is formed for the pur-
pose Of constructing and operating a
standard gauge line of railroad and tele-
graph lines from Pittsburg, in Crawford
county, through the counties of Craw-
ford and Cherokee, thence on the most
practical route to Fort Smith, Ark. The
corporation has capital of $4,000, 600.
Its principal offices are to be at Pitts
burg, and the directors are James II.
Pickering. FINS E. Marshall and Fred
Wild, of Kansas City, Mo-; Chas. B.
Riley, Thomas ]. White and Charles w.
Trickett, of Kansas City, Kan.
The other road, to be known as the
Kansas City, Pittsburg & Western Rail
road company, will build line from a
point on the state line on the east side
of Crawford county, and forming a con-
nection with the Kansas City, Nevada
& Fort Smith Railroad company's track,
as the same shall be hereafter located,
and running thence through the coun-
ties of Crawford, Cherokee, Labette,
Montgomery, Chautauqua and Cowley
to the southwest corner of Cowley
county. The estimated length of this
railroad is $50 miles. Its principal
Office will be at Pittsburg. It will also
have capital stock of $6,00O,OO0. Its
directors will be E. L. Martin, Richard
Gentry, A. E. Stillwell. J. Med. Trim

IT does seem as if the time had
come when the great body of the trav-
cling public, the people who have no
money to spend in extras and cannot
afford to tour it in Pullmans, should
have a share in the advance that has
been made in providing comforts for
travel. A beginning has been made
in many instances by roads which
have put on, where competition is
lively, free chair cars on their day
trains. These have not the elegance
or luxury of the drawing-room car,
and they do not remove one Of the
worst objections to the ordinary
coach, the crowding of seats and en-
forced and unpleasant propinquity of
strangers; but they are a vast i'm
provement aud step forward. 1t
ought not to be difficult task for the
railroads to hit upon a car that shonld
cost practically no more than the
present day coach, which should pre-
serve its advantages, and which
should add to these a possibility OF
comparative privacy when desired,
together with seats designed for com
fort, and ventilating appliances that
will attend to their business. The
ordinary railway car is ages in arrear:
of development. 1t is time its evolu
! tion were begun.

A PARAGRAPH is floating around
stating that in the course of about
6, 600, 900 years from now the forces
au work on the earth will have COM
pletely leveled its surface, so that
there will be no longer hills or val
legs, continents, or distinctive oceans.
All the land will have been washed
down into the sea, which will then
cover all with a watery mantle and
render impossible any life except that
which can exist without dry land.
Almost coincidently with this comes
an assurance from a distinguished
astronomical writer that the sun may
last 5, 900, 900 years longer, but not
/ twice as long as that. His stores OF
heat are being given out so rapidly
that some fifty thousand centuries
hence they will be depleted beyond
the point sufficient to maintain
human life or any of the higher ami
NAL organisms. Other authorities
tell US that supplies of fuel are being
used up so fast that they will have
disappeared much sooner than the
time named, and still others predict
that the human race will be killed of
by insufficiency of food as well as OF
coal. Between these different prog.
nostications for the future the pros
pect is rather gloomy one.

HAPPINESS between husband and
wife can only be secured by that con-
slant tenderness and care of the par
ties for each other which are based
upon warm and demonstrative love.
The heart demands that the man
shall not sit reticent, self-absorbed
and silent in the midst of his family.
The woman who forgets to provide
for her husbands tastes and wishes
renders her home undesirable for him.
In word, ever-present and ever
demonstrative gentleness must reign,
or else the heart starves.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

ton for the new M. E. church is nearly
completed, and the sound of hammer

of town. This will doubtless be the
finest church edifiee in the county, out
side of Emporia, when completed.
Rev. II. NJ. Carr, of Parsons, one Of
the most prominent divines of the Bap-
list church in the state of Kansas, and
a brother of Colonel Clark Carr, United
States consul at Denmark, at meeting
OF the members Of his church formally
announced his withdrawal from the
Baptist church and stated that he would
identity himself in the future with the
Episcopal church The announcement
has created an unusual stir IN church
circles owing TO the prominence of Rev.
Carr and the further fact that he has
for over thirty years espoused the cause
of the Baptist religion.
