SYMPTOMS WE'RE ALARMING.

Both Affected simultaneously with a De-
sire to Find n Doctor.
The following is a true account of
the development of a curious and
alarming complaint which suddenly
attacked ChaPpie and Cholly as they
were driving bach from the - club
the other day, according to the New
York Tribune, and which is still af-
forcling great amusement to their
friends. One of these young gentle
men who was driving hi: companion
IN his buggy suddenly complained of a
stitch IN his left side. The pain grew
more and more intense, until he be-
came quite seriously frightened, when,
TO the CONSERVATION of the pair, the
other man was attacked precisely in
the same fashion on the right side
With fifteen-mile drive ahead of
them, and fancying themselves seized
by some mysterious and inscrutable
disease, with the pain increasing everv
moment, the prospect was not a pleas
ant one. Wildly they dashed the horse

and n doctor, and on they dashed over
stones and ruts, leaving the rustic
passers-oy agape with astonlshment.
Suddenly, in the midst of his lamenta-
tions over the pain, Cholly exclaimed:
Don't you smell something burning?"
and strong smell of fire which, if it
had not been for their excitement and
fright, they would have noticed long
before, made itself very apparent

clapped his hand on his waistcoat

their immense relief they found that q

only slowly burned it's way through
the garments of the owner OF the box,
but had extended itself to the trousers

his last Poole suit, and causing no lit

A CHINESE cRulxsHAnk.

His Fascinating Cartoons Attacking tho
Opium Traffic.
The Society for the Suppression Of
the Opium Trade has republished in
fac simile a mos curious set of Chinese
cartoons on the national vice, which
has an almost exact parallel in the
famous Cruilzshank series, known as
'The Bottle" says the London News.
The native Cruikshank begins with n
picture of a happy home, at any rate
of happy summer house. The native
debauchee is taking his first Whit. He
reclines on a couch of ebony, inlaid
with marble, and all his surroundings
are elegant and luxurious.
This is No. of the series. No, 3
represents parental cXpostulations -
the youth on his knees before his
father and promising never to do it
again; No. 3, relapse, and No. 4, the
wife painting scrolls for a livelihood
in the miserable home. In No. the
smoker is at it again, while the wife
and children, with a reckless indiffcr-
ence to perspective which is in itself
suggestive of despair, weep by the side
of the besotted fathers couch, and the
old mother does the work of a domes-
tic drudge.
In No. the wife loses her temper
and dashes the smoking gear to the
ground. while the Infatuated debauchee
tries to beat her with a bamboo. In
No. he is again sucking at the rccov-
cred pipe, while compassionate friends
vainly offer him the food for which he
has lost all appetite. In No. wife
and child regard him with horror, but
he does not seem to mind. In No. he
has been sold up and his lodging is on
the cold ground. In No. 10 the dogs
arc after him as he crawls through the
villages. No. II is the same as No 10,
''only more 500 In No. IL we see him,
or rather the wretched skeleton of
him, crawling into hole in the rocks,
an wintry landscape, to dic-still
hugging the pipe that has brought him
to ruin.

State Insuranco in Germany.

John Graham Brooks, the bureau of
labor expert, describes In the Forum
the effect OF compulsory state insurance

STAND UP FOR KANSAS.

The Altoona Pennsylvania Tribune be
walls the rule Of populist demagogues in
Kansas, intimating that for damaging
effect, the border ruffian troubles were
insignificant. The Kansas City Gazette
makes this wholesome and truthful re-
ply:
The worst feature of it is that it is all
so wholly unjustitiable. The people of
Kansas are in better shape than are the
people of any other portion of Gods
green earth. Their debts have been
greatly magnifed and harped upon by
demagogues, although they are not as
great as the debts OF other portions of
the world. The expressions by lenders
IN foreCiosing mortgages may be stated
at an mhnitessimal minimum, while the
amount of money lost by eastern people
in fraudulent loans, that is by men
mOrtgaglnga pieceof property aud then
skipping, and in fool enter prises, can be
stated at very large sum. Kansas has
had bad crop years, just As has been the
luck of other portions of the earth, bat
on an average since her development be
gan she has led the world in productive
ness. Her state government Is the clean
est, and always has been. Of any in the
United States. Her local governments
have been expensive, but in every in
stance the fault of the extravaganza OF
the people themselves We have bet
ter class Of school houses and a better
grade OF schools, than any other people
enjoy. We nave four times as many
miles OF railroad as we need. The Kan
saS people have done business all their
days On the basis of 500
man driving a $1,000 horse. We
want to get there Tie Kansas people
have done as much in twenty-five years
as the people Of Pennsylvania have in
hundred And we al come here with
out 8 cent Aud while we have invested
. good deal of labor we also had 10 bor-
row very much. IL the Kansas farmer
had put in his time as the Pennsylvania
farmer does. and taken the same care OF
what he raises. and what he owns. or
owes Tor. we could have such giur Of
money that we never would of heard Of

that he he'd for collection against
farmers, notes for machinery 10 the
amount OF S59.000, and that to his
know!ege It least SO. 900 Of it lay out in
the fields when not III Use.
But all this confusion ia Kansas is the
result of a Confederate trick. The
Farmers Alliance. a secret political
organization, was transnlanted from the
south, lis sole purpose oeIuE - break or
demora.lze this magnificent Republican
state 1t has succeeded. That the pco-
pie should he so misled BY the most con
temDlible quacks and shysters as leaders,
we admit, IS a reflection on the iutelli-
Eence or stability OF our people. Other
wise. Kansas Is al right. Tie little taste

DID YOU EVER THINK OF Ir9

Not few of our Democratic cotem-
poraries, of the state, are quoting, with
anything but approving comments, the
EAGLES reflections and suggestions
touching the late revolutionary monkey
shines Of the fusionists at Topeka. All
that is very well, and to be expected.
But have these dear fellows ever stopped
for moment in the reflection that for
a quarter of a century they have had
little else than the delectable privilege of
sitting around criticising and find
ing fault with The Repub-
lican party, but that the pinching
shoe is now on their own
foot, and that from this on until such
time as the people can no longer put up
with them, the Demo-Pop combine
must answer roll call and do the ex
planning. Does it ever occur to them
that Kansas in the administration
Of all Of her affairs, state, municipal cor
porate and otherwise, under Republican
rule has been the cleanest state in the
Union. the most honest towards others
and with herself clear Of all treasury
robberies or defalcations worth mention
ing, with the fewest political
scandals and all that; but
that from now on, for a while at
least, the argus eyes of these editors,
who have been abused for thirty years,
will be on every move and every action
Of this new power and its satellites,
many of whom are ignorant, most of
them venal and all Of them hungry.
Well, it's all true-just as true as that

unnatural alliance, stands over hell of
black, smothered but heating combus-

PIaioIz History.

There are in existence to-day about
one hundred clan plaids, OF which about
half are the Highland tsrtans. The
other half are modern variations pro-
Guced by Lowland families for their
Identification, as certain ambitious per
sons to-day buy up or think up a fine
coat of arms. The plaid oftenest seen
on the streets to-day is the Gordon
plaid. This is the blue and green and
black plaid, with single yellow bar
1t must not be confounded with the
blue and green and black with the
white bar, which is the Lombard plaid;
or the blue and green and black with
the double yellow bar, which is the
plaid OF the CampbelLs of Breadelbanc;
or the same plaid, with the single red
and double white bar, which makes up
the Colquhoun tartan What risky
thing it was to be born at all in those
days when it might cost man his life
not to know the difference between two
bars of white and one bar of yellow In
the tartan Of any stranger he might
meet on the wayside. The Gordon
plaid has famous history from back in
the almost legendary days of Malcolm
III, when Richard Of Gordon slew q
monster in the Morse and got big
grant Of land and title for it.

as TO KANSAS,

The state bank commissioner has taken
charge of the bank Of Santa Fe. The
bank had capital of $4,000. The cause
of the failure is unknown.
The situation at Topeka seems TO be in
fictitious, or contagious, or probably both.
There are indications of county seat fights
in half dozen counties in different parts
OF the state.
Emporia Gazette: Among the recent
cases of mysterious disappearance is that
of a gentleman named Watkins, who
thought he was a candidate for United
States senator.
1t is said tlat Kansas is the only state in
the Union whose number of convicts in
the penitentiary decreases while the popu-
lation of the state increases. Kansas
kind hearted governors probably assist the
record as they step down.
A young lady at Belle Plaine recently
poured "A bucket of molasses instead of
water, by mistake, into a bath tub, and
took plunge. Guess this must have
originated the recent fad among the girls
of wetting their hair with sugared water
to make it hold its kinks and look woolly.
John J. Kloehr. the hero Of the Coffey-
vile bank robbers, has been drawn as
Juror for the March term Of the Montgom-
cry county district court, when Emmett
Dalton will be tried for murder. 1t is the
general opinion that the attempt to try
the accused will fail through failure to
secure jury.
A Wellington woman went to sleep with
gum in her mouth and in the morning
found dead mouse between her teeth.
The creature had been attracted by the
gum and creeping into the womans oIen
mouth to secure it, was crushed by her
closing jaws. This will probably cure her
habit Of wearing her mouth open at
night.
Mrs. CASTOR Boyd of Newton has been
appointed by the state worlds fair COM

The following ladies will assist Mrs. Boyd
at the places mentioned in procuring the
