WESTINGHOUSE DAY.

The 22d of February is memorable
in American history as the birthday
of George Washington, who was born
in Westmorlapd county, Virginia,
February 20, 1892, and next Wednes-
day will therefore be the 161st ami
versary of his birth. He died Decem
Der Is, 1899.
By universal consent of all the civ
ilized world, George Washington has
been made the ideal of pure patriot
ism. AS such patriot the day of his
birth has been made legal holiday,
in which the people are expected to
do no work, and banks and Courts
are closed by law. In many towns
flags are displayed, and in the large
cities troops and organized societies
parade, salutes are fired and the day
honored with all appropriate ceremo-
ny. This is due as setting apart a
day in honor of true manhood and
love of country; in honor of the great
American, a man symbolic of our
country, who living in time when
birth and heirship were deemed nee
essary at the head of government,
came from the people, became the
head of the army and the head of the
government, and by his courage, wis
dom and patriotism, secured all for
the people and nothing for himself.
February 22d is Americas day, and
the day Americans should honor, ven
crate and hold most dear. We cele-
brate the Fourth of July as the birth
day of the nation, the day which
declared all men free and equal, but
we celebrate Washington's' birthday
for the purity and grandeur of it's in
dividual patriotism and the noble
principles of unselfsh manhood it
teaches.
In all history no example is found
of a purer or more unselGsh devotion
to his country than that furnished by
Washington. While he is kept in
memory and in honor the Republic
will have an example to point to her
children and measure of value for
her statesmen.

Tracheotomx Advocated.

Some of the most experienced practi-
TONERS express the opinion that the ex-
pected fact that intubation would, on
account of its simplicity, take the place
OF the knife and add materially to the
of the profession, has not been
fulfilled. 1t is urged by those who take
this ground that the operation necessi.
tates a degree of manual dexterity which
the average physician, with his few OPP
portunities, is not able to acquire, and the
objection made is that the patient is sub,
jected to a certain amount of exhaustion
which can be i'll borne in one suffering
from diphtheria.-New York Tribune.

his native tongue upon MS, constraining
the household to a hideous jargon, the
bastard growth Of two languages, con-
descended to jerk us back rudely into

BANDITS in A KANSAS TOWN.
The Bank Of Mound Valley Boldly Held
Up at Noon.

CoFFEyvILLE, Kas., July 10
The Bank of Mound Valley, owned
by G. M. Condor of Oswego, was
robbed at 1890 o'clock to-day by
three men who rode into town, and,
entering the bank, tied and gagged
the cashier, j. O. Wilson, and Sc
cured the money in sight, which
amounted to 5000.
Before Mr.. Wilson could give the
alarm the robbers had made their
escape and were on their way to the
territory, twenty miles south.
As soon as the news was received
here several posses started out to in
tercept them and as they passed two
miles east of Angola at 100 it is
possible that they will succeed.
Mound Valley is a little town Of
about 1000 people, eighteen miles
northeast of here in Labette county
at the crossing of the Frisco and
Katy railroads. This was the only
bank in the town. It's capital stock
is $4,000, but on account of its
proximity to Oswego but little money
is kept in the bank in the town.
The robbers were white men and
young. No one from Mound VAL
ley is in pursuit, but the country be.
tween here and Edna is aroused and
their capture is probable.

Governor Waite Utters Warlike Words
open Talk Of Rebellion ihdui-
ged In.

DENVER, July 12.-Over 1900
people crowded into Coliseum hall
yesterday in attendance on the silver
Congress. The addresses of all
speakers we're very bitter. that of
Governor Waite, Fopulist, especially
so. In the course of his remarks,
he said:
If the money power shall attempt
to sustain its usurpation by the
strong hand of the law we will meet
that issue when it is forced upon
us, for it is better infinitely that
blood should flow to the horses
brides rather than III national
liberties be destroyed.
It is true that the United States
is unable to carry out its govern
ment policy without the dictation
or consent of foreign powers; if We
are a province of European mon
arches, then we need another revo-
luton, another appeal to arms, and
we have won that battle. Ii war is
forced upon us we will send to
Halifax a far greater army of
british tories" according to our
population than our forefathers sent
there after the revolutionary war.
The wal has begun; it is the same
war which must always be waged
against oppression and tyranny to
preserve the liberties of man.
The words were greeted with
deafening applause and were the
keynotes for subsequent speeches.
Judge Kerr, of Pueblo, Endorsed
the recent revolutionary telegram
sent by Edward R. Holden to the
East, in which the latter declared
that if the war upon silver contin-
ued the West would rise, repudiat-
ing all her obligations; that $780,
600 men would be paupers and =
million people upon the verge of
starvation, and a revolution be the
final result.
J. Cook, jr., led the opposition.
He said:
"We are liable to do things We
may regret | appeal to you as men
not to do to-day what you will re-
greet to morrow. We are excited.
We hardly know what we are doing.
Let us be reasonable and act as
intelligent men. We are going
East as men to educate men in the
East. If we fail, then is the time to
act. There is time enough to talk
as you feel now"
