The Rev. J. W. Trout, pastor of
the Broadway Methodist Protestant
Church, married a couple from Kent
County few days ago at the parsOn-
age of the church. The groom was
a Well-dressed and middle-aged farmer
and the bride was an attractive
widow. She was accompanied by her
small child. After the pastor had
commenced the ceremony the child
became extremely impatient and in a
very annoying manner began Juggling
at his mammals dress. She tried to
pacify him and shake him off, but
he held on and yelled. The minister
noticed biscuit lying on the table,
and, without interrupting the cere-
mony. handed it to the child, hoping
to quiet him The ceremony ap-
preached the most solemn part. when
there came a startling interruption.
Instead of munching the biscuit, as
expected. the child walked to the far
corner of the room and with as much
force as he could summon hurled the
biscuit at his mother, striking her di-
rectly in the eye. She started back
with a cry of pain, and the minister
halted until she could recover from
the effects of the blow. He then
proceeded and the ceremony was
finally concluded. The happy bride
then took the child and administered
upon him severe, but just, punish
ment for his misconduct. Baltimore

FRANCE is getting more and more
war-like in mood as the details Of the
Morocco incident come out one by
one. 1t looks very much as if Eng
land had been trying to frame a
treaty with Morocco for herself, Spain
and Italy, and carefully keeping
France out of it. Should this prove
TO be the case, the French will be
very apt to guard against any sur
prises by sending a formidable squad
ron to Tangier; and the British men
of-war will be there also. A quarrel
about Morocco might set all Europe
by the ears just now; for al that Eu-
rope wants is an excuse for beginning.
Was this Morocco business the i'm
pending sensation in international
affairs to which Mr.. Balfour so mys-
teriously alluded in his speech the
other day?

STOCK AND FARM.

ElDorado Republican: Several fields
of corn sold in this vicinity last week
at from So to $14 per acre. One field
is reported to have sold at SIC.
Lyons Republican: F. W. Truesdell

appetite of the MISUNDERSTANDING public
Of this vicinity.
Dodge City Globe-Republican: j. n.
Churchill is marketing summer apples
from the Zimmerman homestead. He
reports a good yield of fruit free from
specks or worms. The winter variety
are quite large.
Cimarron New West: The Gray
county farm with less than 1000 bush
els of wheat is scarce. The 1000 and
5000 bushels owners are plentiful; but
wait until next year-deep blowing will
make big business.
Glasco item: The J. B. Fuller farm
of $40 acres choice river bottom land,
two miles west of this place, has beer
sold to a Mr.. Dopp, OF Delphos, price
$40 per acre. The farm is one of thu
best in the valley, and is a good invest
ment.
From Formosa: In thirty days, end
ing August 25th, over $69, 900 worth OF
grain and hogs left our town, and yet
all the day passenger trains give us the
go by. Formosa has good cause to
kick, and she will keep kicking until we
can have at least one train to stop each
way every day.
Irving Leader: The broom corn har-
vest is now in full blast, and the crop
promises to be one of the best for some
seasons. The quality is fine and the
price is good, ranging up to the $50
per ton mark, though it is not probable
that it will continue so high. 1t is q

ment to great number OF people

they have about sixty acres of similar
quality.

THERE is nothing like her in any
of the great navies of the world. Her
occupation in time of war would be
principally to destroy the enemy's
commerce, and she could get away
with an immense portion of the mer-
chant marine of a commercial nation
without encountering serious OBJ
stacles, there being no war-ship afoat
that could overhaul her. When it is
considered that the destruction of
the enemy's commerce would be the
main work of the United States navy
in case of war, a fair idea of the
value of the Columbia can be formed,
Though not intended primarily for
fighting, she could give a good ac-
count of herself in an emergency
She is particularly well fitted for
closer quarters, having a powerful
ram, which could be driven with
greaU force, and being armed with
a number of rapid-fire guns that
would sweep the decks and rigging of
Of opponent. The Columbia is a splen-
did naval vessel, and the American
people have every reason to be proud
of her as the result of American
inventive skill.

Total Solar Eclipse Next Year.

Though the next total solar eclipse
does not take place till April 10, 1898,
astronomers are already astir making
plans for observing it. Nature says
it will probably be every widely OBJ
served, not only because the shadow
Of the moon passes over such a great
stretch of land, but because the phe-
nomenon occurs at the period when a
sun spot maximum Is approaching, at
which time, of course, the disturbed
part of the atmosphere of the sun is
on the increase - The center of the
shadow traverses Chill, passes to the
north Of the Argentine Republic,
skirts the provinces of Bolivia and
Paraguay and cuts through the heart
Of Brazil, finally crossing the Allan
tic Ocean and entering the African
coast between Cape Verde and Ba-
thurst. York Herald.

Der of ministers attended.
Great Bend Register: The city is
overlooking with ministers and repre-
sentatives of the Congregational demon
nation of the adjoining counties, the

number of prominent ministers were
present from abroad and the services
interesting throughout.
Salina Republican: The evening ses-
sion of the northwest deanery of the
Episcopal church was well attended,
and the discussion, 'EKansas as mis-
sionary field" was very interesting,
bringing out many bright thoughts
with regard to the work of the church
in this field. The discussion was in
dulged in by some very excellent speak
ers. The entire session of the convoca-
ton has been a very successful one.
Oxford Mocking Bird: Rev. W. V.

A GREAT scientist once asserted that
every member of the human family
was the victim Of insanity, the differ
ence being only in the degrees of men
tai alteration. His theory is extreme,
but who can say how many Of those
who surround our daily life are con-
sidered sane merely because eircum-
stances have never conspired to push
them beyond the vague line which
divides rational from irrational ac-
tions. Alice Mitchell, in whose case
the jury to-day found a verdict in
Memphis, Tenn, of insanity, inner
tied mania from her mother: the
symptoms of an unsound mind are
shown by her strange love for her girl
friend, Freda Ward; her exaggerated
suferings from jealousy, and by the
murderous act which followed as a f.
nal result. Undergoing Imprisonment
and trial, she has had not the least
appreciation of her crime, of the gray
ity of her situation or of the shame
and sorrow her deed has brought upon
two respectable families. Bloodshe6
was never caused by love. Love
worthy of the name, inspires self-sac
rifice for the sake of its object. Pas
sion may lead to murder, but passion
is not love, The distinction is broad
and the difference not always recog
nized and understood.

lent for this sweeping punishment.

rapidly towards Bolinas ridge, and is
now burning on the Howard & Shafter
ranch. Gangs of men have left here

to the effect that the fire cannot be got
under control tonight.
Pasture fields near st. Vincent's or

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-The secretary
OF state today received cablegram from
the United States charge d. affaires at
Constantinople, informing him that the
house OF DR.. Bartlett, an American mis-
sionary, at Bourdour, in the province OF
Konia, Asia Minor, and the lives of the
missionaries therein were in danger.
He believes if promptactioni is not taken
the missionary house and the lives of
the missionaries will be in serious
danger in other places. The building of
DR.. Bartlett's residence was originally
stopped by the local authorities; per-
mission to complete the same was re-
fused unless DIR. Bartlett would furnish
bond or guarantee neither to hold
religious worship nor instruct children
on the premises. The legation applied
to the sublime porte for such permis-
sion, claiming that the treaty rights of
Americans extended not only to the pur-
chase of land, but to the enjoyment OF
the same. A permit was finally granted
by the sultan, and it appears that inn
mediately after the receipt of the permit
by the local authorities, the house was
burned.
Secretary Foster promptly cabled the
charge to make an urgent demand for
effective protection, indemnity, punish
ment OF guilty parties and reprimand
of the authorities if found remiss.
The United States cruisers Newark
and Bennington, now on the way to
Genoa, will be ordered to the vicinity of
the outrage to support the demands.

Probable Pardon,

LONDON, Aug. 19.-Gladstone's selec-
ton OF some minor members of the Rad
ical section for minor posts in the gov
ernment. has not remedied the tactical
mistake made in the exclusion of Radi-
cal representatives from the cabinet.
The fact is now universally recognized
that Gladstone carefully avoided admit
ting to Office men in any way identified
with independent radicalism. Glad
stones plans to meet some dangers
threatening the early overthrow of the
government are already seen in the for
nation of the cabinet committees. The
two hours sitting of the council today
was devoted to preparing measures en-
bodying part of the Newcastle pro-
gramme, and allotting work. Three
committees, in addition to the home
rule committee, were formed. One is
charged with the labor question, an
other to draft bills for rural reform and
local option, and the third is charged
with reforming the electoral registra-
ton.
The Associated Press has high author
ity to state that the new government
will not interfere with the completed
arrangements of the international mon
etary conference. No powers are vested
in the delegates. They are instructed
to decline to discuss any proposals en-
failing an alteration Of the monetary
system of England, but they are author
lied to consider proposals whereby Indif
might join the influential lead of state
for fixing the ratio of silver.
1t is expected that Mrs. Maybri will
soon be released from prison. It is un,
derstood that both Sir Charles Russell
attorney general, and Home Secretary
Asquith favor her release.
