S. d. Miss Howard went out to Dakota
five years ago, and with money earned
by herself, together with that donated
by her family and friends, built the
school she now occupies, having become
interested in the work through her con-
nection with the Hampton Va.) school.
Miss Howard said:
"Schools are the one thing necessary
for the Indians. In my school I have
twenty-five children, for whom the gov
ernment allows an appropriation of
$4,000 a year. The children are Of the
Sioux tribe. They are very apt, advance

The Mothers Responsibility.

At recent meeting of the Farmers
National Alliance the question of educa-
ton was discussed by number of prom
inent ladies, and there was a singular
unanimity in their expressions in regard
to the early training of children. If it
be true, as has been SO emphatically re-
iterated, that the character of child
can be unalterably fixed for life by the
education and influences Of the first
seven years of his life, then the startling
fact that mothers are largely RESPONSE
BILE for the sin and crime and wrong
that blacken the history Of the world
should be made Enthusiastically clear and
plain.
1t indicates also that it would be
easier to purify the stream at the foun-
tain than to tax the energies of the just
and virtuous to provide protection
against the ocean of evil that threatens
destruction. Wisdom would say strike
at the root, not at the leaves. Spend
money and time and influence and SYM
pathy to make mothers instead of pro-
viding the costly machinery of courts
and prisons and asylums, to mitigate
the evil while the source is untouched.

Brooklyn Girls at Washington.

There are many beautiful girls in
Washington society this year, particu-
larly among those belonging to the
southern colony, and it would indeed be
strange if their captivating charms had
not created havoc with the hearts of not
a few of the sterner sex. Among the
younger girls no one has made more
favorable impression than Miss Alice
Wilmerding, General Tracy's grand
daughter. She has been attending the
Washington riding school during the
winter, and her handsome figure and
graceful carriage on horseback have
been much admired. She is great pet
of the naval men.
The many Brooklyn friends of Colonel
Charles Haywood and his charming wife
will be glad to learn of the latter's
marked social success in Washington
Her receptions, dances and teas have
been attended by the swell set, and she
has received praise from the highest
quarters for her tact and charm as a
hostess. She has entertained during the
winter number of Brooklyn girls, in.

Mrs. Vanderbilt gave supper and ball
in honor Of two granddaughters-
Edith Shepard, the daughter of Elliott
F. Shepard, and Miss Sloane, the
daughter of the head of the famous car
pet house ON Broadway. The Wander
bilt houses take up whole avenue block,
and are made to look like two houses
connected by Siamese joint, which ap-
pears to serve as an entrance to both.
However, they are not two houses, but
three. The lower or down town half is
Mrs. Vanderbilt's house, and the upper
half is two houses, the homes of the
Shepards and Sloanes. These houses
were all thrown into one the other night,
and 900 persons assembled in some of
the rooms of the first floor
Tables were set in many rooms, and
the guests, who came in such numbers
that Fifth avenue was blockaded for an
hour, all found chairs and tables, food
and wine in plenty, and served as
promptly as if it had been a hotel At
least 100 walters attended the gentle
men and ladies and two orchestras played
for their delectation upon at least 100
instruments The tables were set in the
connected parlors of the three houses,
and the dancing which followed was en-
joyed in the picture galleries. No such
magnificent appointments as were seen
there aret to be found in any house-ex-
cept a kings palace-anywhere else in
Christendom.
The tesselated floors, the frescoed cell
ings, the draperies, the bric-a-brac, the
pictures, the service upon the tables-all
were the very best, most costly and
most elaborate that can be imagined.
One might say in sentence that moth
ing of less value than gold was upon the
tables. There were parts of the houses
that were banked with flowers, so that
that the guests seemed at times to enter
magnificent gardens, some that were
tropical and some that were formed of
the blossoms of our own midsummer.
The women of fashion were ablaze with
diamonds and costly gems, and their
toilets were such as no man can de-

A Character ut the Capital.

"The Climber" is the sobriquet applied
to woman who is trying very hard to
make out that she belongs to the foam of
the swim. Her principal claim to posi-
ton is mythical bank account that is
industriously rumored, and her attempts
to force the inner gates, if they were not
so palpable and amusing, would be dis
gusting.
So far as can be found out she is never
invited anywhere, and certainly not to
the White House, yet she always ap-
pears at every reception and calmly
takes up position back of the line
among the invited guests who have been
asked to the Blue room.
She pursued the same course straight
through last year and went everywhere
without invitation. This winter a new
tack has been adopted. An hour or two
before the tea, reception or whatever
she elects to go to, she sends note to the
prospective hostess regretting that her
invitation has not reached its destina-
ton safely, but as she knows, of course,
it was sent and must have gone astray,
she is coming anyway. Of course she
hasn't been invited, and of course she
does appear, and what can the hostess
do?
On another occasion, at card recep
ton to the president, she informed
representatives wife that the lady for
whom she was waiting had not arrived.
could I accompany you down stairs?"
she asked.
The woman made no answer, but 'The
Climber" and her husband followed the
silent congressional pair down stairs past
the surprised hostess. When the con-
gresham and his wife started to go
1.-THE Climber" swooped down on them,
'exclaiming that as she came with them
she knew she ought to leave at the same
time, but she was enjoying herself so
much that she would remain, if the con-
gressman's wife wouldn't feel hurt at her
detection. The only thing the congress-
mans wife cared about was escaping,
and she never said a word.
s'The Climber" has fine suite of apart
ments at fine hotel. She wears ex-
travagant gowns, but they arrive by ex-
press marked G. o. D. They never re-
main on their arrival. There is some
scurrying for funds for the next few
days, and finally some of the gowns are
located permanently in "The Climbers"
wardrobe. Her career is exciting more
interest than anything else. Washing-

Work and Women.

Work is the only prayer woman needs.
When, then, all women come to that, as
some are now doing, their position in
the world will be no more in question
than is mans position at the present
moment. The position Of independence
is always beyond question everywhere,
and earning ones own living is posi-
ton of independence compared with
getting it by dependence from some one
else It is a curious example of the
dimness with which one sees through a
social environment, that women are al
ways discussed, as if for them at least
it were better to get no living, and to
perish rather than to ''unsex them
Selves" as the can't goes, by working
for living. AS if no existence were
preferable to one with some drawbacks
to maintain it. The position is quite
absurd, as on that basis man might also
reject life because of its tolls. First get
living, then use it well, is the true
principle. Economist.

The Broadway Girl.

She is distinctive type of woman
hood, is the Broadway girl. She dresses
in the top notch of fashion. She carries
herself with swing as she moves along.
She wears jaunty hat, little too
much jewelry and uses paint and pow
der in reckless way. You can see her
any and every afternoon as she takes
her walk abroad. She is usually young,
light hearted and frivolous, and the
chances are her mother does not know
where she is. Men stare at her, and she,
poor, foolish thing, takes it for compi-
ment to her beauty. Very soon she be-
comes conspicuous and then a trife
more independent in her ways. And
just here she makes mistake, for men
begin to talk about her and ogle her
until some kind friend tells her that a
daily parade on Broadway is unbecom-
ing.
1t is no longer considered proper for
young women to be seen too often on
Broadway of an afternoon, and sensible
girls appreciate this. Fashion has set
its face against the Broadway parade,
and fashion is all powerful. And for
swhat reason2 Simply because there are
too many bejeweled and painted women
there already, and because men often
forret that they are men, and stare at
and ogle passers by, not to mention
other forms of annoyance. The wise
girl is not seen too often on Broadway OF
an afternoon. Coates in New

Decline of Matrimony in England.


The decline of matrimony in England
has of late years been very marked,
more especially among the middle and
upper classes. 1t is some relief to mid
die class families overburdened with an
excess of daughters that the opportuni-
ties for girls earning their own living
appear to be on the increase, but the
competition for paid employment ac-
ceptable to young ladies of the middle
classes is every day growing more Sc
we're. The prospects for middle class
girls in the immediate future appear,
therefore, to be anything but bright, ex-
cept to those who are not afraid of
work. There are thousands of young
men wanting wives at this moment in
Australia and America, where there are
few wives to be had. There is career
open to the surplus female population of
England if they can only manage once to
get to the other side of the globe.

Boston Claims the Gum Chewing Record.
Boston can easily claim the honor of
having the star gum chewers Of this
country. They were discovered on an
electric car last evening, and the free
exhibition of their powers in the masti-
eating line was truly wonderful. They
were two girls, old enough to be young
ladies. They chatted and chewed, to-
tally oblivious of their surroundings,
and cared little for the fact that they
were the center of attraction for car
load of passengers.
A watch was pulled on them, and it
was found that they were playing havoc
with the gum at the rate of seventy
strokes per minute. They kept on at
this rate for fully half an hour. Final
ly, when they left the car at Allston,
the other passengers gave sigh Of re-
lief and speculated on the length of
time it would take for the girls jaws to
become imperative from excessive use.

Here everything seems favorable to
the raising of immense crops Of wheat
with little labor and expense, and here
are located many Of the great "bonanza
farms" that have become the wonder Of
the whole farming world.
Here the traveller may drive for mile
after mile with nothing in sight but an
open sea Of waving grain. In 'front.' be-
hind and ON either hand nothing Is to be
seen but level expanse Of wheat. The
horizon makes an even circle all around
as in mid-ocean, save here and there
where 1t Is broken by little island Of
buildings standing out against the sky.
The little island may be Dakota town
ten or fifteen miles away with It's tall
grain elevator standing among the group
Of smaller buildings, or 1t may be head
quarters Of bonanza farmer, a group Of
big barns surrounding the smaller build
ings.
The homes Of many of these wheat
kings are fitted out with all manner Of
cOnveniences and many luxurles. The
bonanza farmer himself Is business
man as we'll as farmer-a business
farmer he might be called. He conducts
the business of farming In no hap-haz-
ard manner, but makes q careful study
Of methods and machinery. Perfect or
ganization is everywhere seen even to
the smallest details.
Such q farmer Is a manufacturer in the
best sense. He manufactures wheat,
choosing the best materials, the best
methods and the best machinery, in or

der to produce the largest possible re-
turns. He makes special study offarm
machinery, for he has too much at stake
to use any but the very best.
During the heat Of harvest his whole
fortune is In the balance and the best
machines that the times have produced
are none to good to assure success.
This is particularly true in regard to
the choice Of harvesters and binders, and
the result Of thorough trials with every
binder made has narrowed the choice Of
the bonanza farmer down to the use Of
one machine.
The picture accompanying this article
represents a scene on a bonanza farm In
North Dakota. So far as the machines
are concerned the picture might repre-
sent harvest scene on any big farm, for
1t is an undeniable fact that the famous
self-binders shown in the picture are
used, to the exclusion Of all others, on
nine out of ten Of the big farms Of North
Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Colo
rado, Montana, Tennessee and else
where.
Twenty or thirty self-blndlng harvest
ers in line, clicking steadily along
through thousand acres Of ripe, yell
low wheat, is a sight that one will not
soon forget. Stand at the edge of the
uncut grain and watch these twenty
Deerlng binders 60 by, each cutting its
swath Of six or seven feet and following
close behind the machine In front, line
four hundred feet long. Before the ma
chimes went by you were standing at the
edge Of the wheat, now the edge is q
hundred feet away towards the centre Of
the field, and that immense swath is

OF the Kansas Weather Service Issued
In Cooperation with the Kansas State
Board Of Agriculture for the Week
Ending june 30, 1899
PRECIPITATION.
The rainfall Is below the normal east
of Washington, Morris and Elk, and
north of Crawford, and In the extreme
southwestern and western counties.
Throughout the central and western
counties 1t Is generally above normal, the
heaviest rain falling in the central coun-
ties and amounting to over four inches.
In the central counties Of the extreme
east little or no ram fell.
TEMPERATURE AND SUNSHINE.
The temperature and sunshine have
ranged above the normal In the eastern
half Of the state, while In the western the
sunshine is normal but the temperature
below.
RESULTS.
All crops have been benefited this
week, and in proportion to the amount Of
rain received. The ground had become
hard on top, crust had formed, which
of course was readily broken by the cul-
tivator in the corn fields, but could not
be reached In the fields of small grain.
These rains fell mostly in the night.
The warm nights and hot days have
made the corn grow with wonderful
rapidity. The rains have loosened the
crust in the oat, flax and wheat fields,
and have watered the thirsty roots of all
plants.
The harvest in the extreme south-cen.

wholesale Farming.

The great wheat farms of the west and
northwest are to the smaller eastern
farms what the great wholesale jobbing
houses are to small retail stores.
The more conservative eastern farmer
opens his eyes with wonder, and perhaps
shakes his head with incredullty when
he hears tales told of the Immensity of
the great "bonanza FARMS" and their
wholesale methods of farming.
Ten thousand acres of wheat In single
field seems like fairy tale, and thirty or
forty self binding hsrvesters at work TO-
gether seems quite beyond belief. The
Dakotas are a land of big things, big dis
tances, big winds, big crops, "big lnjuns"
and big farms.
Many Of the largest and richest farms
In the world are located in the famous
Red River valley Of North Dakota.

groups OF bundles firmly bound and

A wagon loaded with binding twins
and carrying q water barrel follows the
line Of machines, and the foreman, in q
light two-wheeled cart dashes up and
down the line, and makes It his business
to see that everything isrunnlng smooth
ly. One may drive for days through this
wonderful farming country Of che north
west and see these gangs Of machines
cutting through the ripe grain every
where.
It seems matter of wonder that such
q boundless expanse Of wheat, all ripen-
Ing at nearly the same time and ready
for the reaper at almost the same hour,
can be gathered In time to save II.
Nothing could save 1t butthe use Of
this wonderfully perfect self-bindlng
harvester Of modern times.
A visit to these great farms Of the
northwest Ia enough to convince the most
sceptlcsl that this country Of ours right
ly stands at the head of all countries OF
the world for pre.eminence In agricul-
ture.
The American farmers lead all others
and fully deserve the large measure OF
success that has crowned their efforts.

During the evenings he attended
school and was among the first to gradu-
uste from the Burlington business col
lege.
He then began teaching school and be-
came deeply interested in educational
work. He was for fourteen years men,
Der of the board of directors of the state
normal school, and was president of
the board when he resigned five yeas ago
and came to Wichita.
He was superintendent of the reform
school for girls in Iowa for number of
years. He was appointed by the several
governors Of Iowa to represent the state
at the national conferences of chari-
ties held at the various points in the
United States.
Coming to Wichita five years ago he
embarked in the commission business,
in which he is engaged at the present
time. The unjust freight rates, the op-
preston OF the laborers, farmers and
producers, was brought to his every day
notice, and when the Alliance ideas were
promulgated, he was among the first to
espouse its cause. His worth was soon
seen by those who believed the teachings
OF the new party, and at its first meeting
In Sedgwick county he was chosen as
the chairman Of the county central com
mittee, in which place he has been con-
dnue every since. He was formerly
Republican but he has not voted a Re-
publican ticket since coming to Kansas.
