Temperance and the Kelley Cure.

ED. INDEX: The editor of the CIes-
set, in last weeks paper. says THAT #
all temperance advocates would turn
their attention toward influencing i'm
bbiihefs ef to try the Kelley
bi-chloride of gold cure their object
would be attained more quickly than by
extorting pledges" Will the gentle
man tell the people how he knows that
their object would be attained at all,
and what he means by eTtorting pledges,
and who has been guilty of such disrep-
utable conduct in this community? He
says that the Kelley cure has struck
the city and that it knocks all the new
year resolutions and temperance lee
| lures in the shade. Will he again tell
us whose resolutions 1t has knocked in
to the shade? and when this was done:
Has the editor been struck with the
Kelley cure? and are we to understand
that the editor of the Cresset advises
all temperance people to stop trying tC
stem the tide of the rum curse and &C
to peddling patent medicine? Can the
| editor name more men that have beer
saved by the Kelley cure than he car
those who have been saved through
| good resolutions brought about by the
belief in temperance principles? If so
will he do it? and tell us how he knows
that the Kelley cure is permanent. Is
| the editor of the CresSet opposed tC
| tomDerance work and good resolutions q
1t you say no, will you tell your readers
why you accept such opportunities as
the Kelley cure affords to side track the
efforts of temperance people by declar
ing the futility of such efforts III The

great temperance question? Are yor
for us or against us?

Mrs. Caroline l.. Denton.

Mrs. Denton, President of the fifth
District K. e. S. A, was born at Am
ltyville, Long Island, defending upon
her father side from the New England
Puritan stock. ard upon her mothers,
from the original Manhattan settlers.
AS child she was noted for truthful
ness. reverence, love of justice and
practicalness, which, as she grew older,
contlicted with many popular theories.
Being sensitive and shy, she made
few cOnfdants and early developed a
remarkable talent for original and
independent thought, occupying her
mind with puzZling theological and
social problems. In 1S47 her parents
removed to Illinois, where she met and
married talented young Englishman.
She united with the Methodist church
when seventeen years old and still re-
tains her membership there. In this
connection Mrs. Denton says: Il have
never been strictly orthodox, and have
the largest tolerance and sympathy for
all honest christian belief and ell
deavor."
Her first public lecture given at Fair
bury, Illinois, in 1870, was a decided
success. Since then she has given as
much time as she could spare from the
care of home and children to suffrage,
temperance and other reform work, and
is we'll known as a speaker and writer
of prose and verse. She has been a
widow fifteen years and is now living
with her children in southern Kansas,
| where she organized the first county L.
5. a., and is an energetic leader organ
izing societies, holding conventions,
bible readings and other public meet
ings. One reporter said: Mrs Den
ton presides with gentle dignity and
kindly sympathy that seems natural to
her." During the war Mrs. Denton
was president of a Soldiers Aid Society
in Illinois, and among her cherished
memories are letters of thanks from
grateful soldiers.
Mrs. Denton will attend the Equal
Suffrage convention in this city. next
Monday and Tuesday.

Letter From Eli BENEDICT.

EDITOR INDEX: AS the roses are al
most here again and the busy season is
approaching let US lay our plans to
make '92 grand success in the way of
agriculture. | feel 4 my duty to give,
my brother farmers my experience in
growing alfalfa clover.
Let me say right here that, by exper-
fence, find that the home for alfalfa
is IN the first bottoms, and the creek
bottoms of the Medicine river, right
here in Barber county. Three years ago
l seeded 40 acres to alfalfa on first bot
tom on our ranch here, and L am sur
prised at its success. The soil of this
40 is composed of gumbo up to the sec
ond wire on the fence, once covered
with salt grass. On one corner it was
sandy. There is where 1 thought we
would get a stand of alfalfa, but the
heavy gumbo soil had no faith IN, as
had read alfalfa wanted a loose soil.
But my experience in this field has prov
ed the reverse. The loose, sandy places
could not get a good stand by three
years trial, but on the heavy, gumbo
soil 1t was grand success from the
starh Some of this was second sod. and
1t is lovely. l do not mean to say it will
not do well on second bottom or up-
land, but it will do better on first bot
toms, and land, we think, is almost
worthless, AS it sometimes over-fows.

cultivate. Break up this land, SOW it

after it will net you $40 an acre IN hay.

ours three times this season and the
same last, and it made two tons to the
cutting, and it is bringing us $3.50 per
ton.
PIoW the ground deep, harrow It fine,
ana walt till good soaking rain comes.
II you have to wait till June. If it is
sown when the ground is dry it hurts
the vitality of the plant; even if it does
grow, many OF the plants will die.
When Barber county is covered with
alfalfa clover there will be cattle on a
thousand hills and money in them.
Our motto should be: alfalfa. wheat

The first actual transaction of COM
MERGE recorded in the bible is the pur-
chase, by Abraham. of the cave Of
Maehpelah, for four hundred pieces of
sllver-close to one thousand dollars in
our money. Ephron, the former owner

as resting place for himself and his
family, for so was the custom in those
days, as well as now, This piece of sac
red history is almost four thousand
years old. Every citizen of Medicine
Lodge may lose all real estate except a
grave In our cemetery, and all, in the
end, possess only that in some grave
yard. AS look on the bare mounds
sunken places, tangled grass and weeds,
L ask: Did your friends roll a stone
over the sepulchre of memory when
they left you thus? It can not be. Our
graves are sacred to US. They are the
visible miniatures Of those graves in our
nosoms, that are shaded by the ever
green OF memory, and nourished by the
tears OF love, regret and grief. I'VE
leave this hallowed page in the book Of
life to be read at that day when the Sc
crets of all hearts shall be made mani
fest.n
Monuments of marble are fitting to
designate these graves of ours, but they
| are not tokens Of love. The cold steel
of the artist who cut the letters of their
names, did so, to show his skill and get
his money. Would that suffice you liv-
! ing ones as sufficient token from your
friends when death conslgns you to The
clod of the valley? We had rather have
a simple branch to bloom and fade. an
evergreen through which the wind
would sigh than shaft that rises high
and glitters in the sun.
1t is not all of life to live, nor all of
death to die, scriptures tell US. 1.-THE
body sown in dishonor and corru1tlnn
shall be raised in honor and incorrur>-
tion.' "They that are in their graves
shall hear his voice and come forth" 1t
is shocking, but true, that should the
trumpet sound now many in our ceme-
terry would rise amid the tangled grass
of the prairie. Our silent city on the
hill can be made as beautiful as the
cave of Machpelah. We can have walks
and trees with less expense than thou
sand dollars. Grave yards and school
houses indicate moral status. We have
the school house, let US have the ceme-
terry to correspond.

SERMON BY ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.

Archbishop Ireland, who has been
at Rome for six months, returned to
St. Paul lately and has just made his
first public utterance since landing in
America. He confirmed the favora-
BILE reports as to the Fairbault school
plan, and said, referring to Pope
Leo's health: cleo today is 80 years
old, but, surprising to say, In this adj
vanced stage of life he has all the
energy of mind and body which we
would expect to find in man
younger by decades of years. All
you may hear and read about the
pope being on the threshold OF
death has no foundation in fact
During my entire stay in Rome he
was not indisposed for single
moment, and from all / heard
there was scarcely an inter
ruption from his assiduous labors
even for little while, because OF
failing health. You will often see
six bishops waiting to see him, per-
haps one from America, another
from China, another from France,
and SO on. With each and every
one he speaks. Among the countries
that obtain a special place in his
mind is the United States. One
reason of this is because of the vast
extent of the church's dominion here;
also the favored condition and great
liberty she enjoys here. She has all
the vitality to live, and all she wishes
TO enjoy on this favored soil is
freedom which in most countries she
seeks in vain. Leo wishes Catholics
to be thoroughly loyal to this coun-
try, which gives them this freedom.
He sees also in this country type of
government which must be the dom
inant one"
