STOCK AND FARM.

Representative s. 1. Hale, of Lac Crosse,
Rush county, told Topeka Capital re-
porter that the reports sent out from
Topeka to eastern papers to the effect
that the farmers in the western Kansas
counties were in great danger of starving
and freezing to death was a malicious
fabrication. "They are poor, to be
sure" said Mr.. Hale, "but as to starving
there is nothing in such story. The
people are hopeful and are feeling conf
dent Of q big crop of wheat next year.
The fields have not looked so promising
for eight years at this time of year.
Horses and cattle are being pastured on
the wheat fields and although this is
common here it has not been possible in
western Kansas for five or six years.
Our county has 100000 acres of wheat
and 1 want to say also that the reports
about the free wheat shipped west is en-
tirely wrong as far as our county is con-
cerned. Not bushel Of wheat was re-
ceived that was not paid for and much
of the seed from the crop now in the
ground was raised in the county the
year before. Men who had wheat on
hand sold it to their neighbors and in
many instances allowed them years
time to make payment"
Great Bend Register; Judge A. H
Baker, Of Hoisington, has been on tour
OF inspection through the counties OF
Barton and Rush, in the interest of east
ern land holders, and having seen and
examined very great portion of the
wheat fields in the counties named he
has full knowledge of their condition,
and when he says wheat is in excellent
condition and that the coming crop will
no doubt be very large, as he did, it is
official and can be relied upon,

Preservinp the Teeth.

Time was when dentists simpli6ed
their business by extracting a tooth
as soon as it became troublesome,
with the natural result that the
owners face lost its contour and
winsome curves, writes Maude ON
Murray, in an article that will please
all women, entitled Education fHgt
Beauty's School, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. Now it is different. Dem
tistry has made great strides within
the last twenty years, and we are the
gamers. If the breath should be
offensive consult the dentist and have
the teeth put in order. If the
trouble seems to come from the stom-
ach take some simple corrective, and
if that fails to sweeten it look for
microbe growth in the mouth and
war against it increasingly A few
drops of any one of the many good
antiseptic tooth lotions added TO a
half glass of water used by rinsing the
mouth on retiring, will gradually
ostracize these unwelcome dwellers.
Mothers should be impressed with
the importance of caring for the chill
dren's teeth from infancy. From the
time the first teeth make their app
pearance they need constant care.
Every morning the mouth and little
teeth should be carefully washed with
a soft sponge or cloth dipped in luke
warm water. If they begin to decay
before the time arrives when nature
intends the first ones to fall out to
be replaced by the permanent set,
they should be filed by a dentist
with white bone filling, or some soft
preparation which will not require
much cutting to hold it in place.
This will preserve the baby's teeth
as long as will be necessary, and will
also preserve the shape of the face,
as cannot be done if the teeth are
drawn prematurely, thus allowing
the jaws to shrink.

A DISPATCH from the City Of Mex
leo says; General Jose Vincent, who
is In the field in pursuit OF the revo-
lutionlst, General Canuto Nerl, and
his band of insurgents, has made
report to the authorities here that
despite his utmost efforts he is un-
able to find the revolutionists." "
Well well. This is most unpleasant,
not to say distressing, Here's a
hydra-headed revolution galloping
around loose, interfering with busl-
ness and threatening to oyerturn the
government Of President Diaz, and
yet the commander Of the govern
ment troops can't find it. Here are
hordes Of bloodthirsty insurgents,
filed with patriotic ardor and mescal,
marching through the country and
presumably ravaglng, burning slaugh-
tcring and laying waste the land, and
yet they are invisible to the naked
eye. 1t is a remarkable situation.

Topeka Capital Poor Commissioner
Hale reported at the ministerial union
meeting, called to consider the needs of
the poor, that the county had expended
about $4,000 in the relief of the poor,
mostly OF the city, during the past year.
In answer to inquiries from various
members he stated that he with his as
sistant made every effort to prevent
imposition being practiced, but in spite
Of all their efforts there were quite a
number Of professional dead beats who
sought to live off the public. Usually
those who make the most noise are the
most unworthy. Last week 1870 families
were relieved, sixty seven Of them being
supplied with coal The Russians are
generally self-supporting. About half
of those who are relieved are colored
people, but large proportion are wild
ows and children. In many cases the
head Of the family has left the city in
search Of work and has failed to send
money for the support Of his family,

PREMIER GIoLoTTI, of Italy, reas-
sures holders Of Italian government
paper that interest coupons will be
paid, rumors to the contrary notwith-
standing. 1t was true, the minister
admits, that fresh taxes are being
extorted to provide for domestic ex-
penses, but gold would be required
in payment Of customs and this would
pay bondholders. To have reached
this desperate extremity would seem
to indicate that Premier Giolotti is
nearly ready to ask for a receiver If
importation shall cease or be reduced
materially, where is his coupon-hold-
er to get payment? The paper Of the

SOMEBODY has discovered that
church sleepiness is to be explained
on scientific principles. 1t is, in
fact, condition Of hypnotsm, and,
so far from indicating inattention to
the sermon, shows rather complete
absorption by it. Fixing ones mind
on the voice of the minister, in the
otherwise complete silence Of the
audience-room, produces just the con-
ditions necessary to domination by
another's mind, and the noddlng
head and dropping heavy eyelids are
not eloquent Of the preachers dull
ness but rather mute testimonials of

A DINNER-GIvER has mustered
courage to write to the newspapers
to complain Of the people who are al
ways late for that hospltable meal
whatever time we tlxit, and though
we give them quarter Of an hours
law-putting seven-forty-hVe for
eight, for example, on our invita-
tions-they do not make their ap-
pearance till long afterward. The
dinner is spoiled, our other guests are
naturally annoyed, and yet there
seems no remedy" The remedy, as
James Payn points out is Of the
simplest and yet most efiicacious
kind. Never wait. If the failure in
the arrival of these belated guests is
due to accident they will, Of course,
be pleased that you did not put back
the dinner for an indefinite period;
so far from being rude, you are CIV
ing them credit for the politest feel
ings If they intend to be late
which is the only way some people
have of impressing Others with
sense of their importance--they will,
on the other hand be very possibly
offended at having been deprived of
the opportunity Of putting their fell
low-creatures to inconvenience, and
the result is still more satisfactory
for they will never come again.

Khedive's Position strengthened.

LONDON, January 24-Some surprise
was expressed yesterday az the news from
Cairo that Lord Cromer had expressed
himself so confidently in regard 10 the
prompt suppression Of any outbreak that
might occur. To-day's advices gives the
grounds for Lord Cromer's confidence.
His lordship is assured OF the entire
fidelity OF the native Egyptian army 10 the
British cause and with the British army OF
occupation cooperating Swith the native
troops it is believed that any attempts at
insurrectlon would be promptly crushed:
Major General Sir Wallace Grenfell, OF

was at the war Office to-day, in conSulta-
tion with the RI. Hon. H. Campbell Ban

officially stated at the war office that ooth
Sir Wallace Greenfell and General hitcn-
ener the Sirdar of Egypt who has complete
authority over the Egyptian troops unite
in guaranteeing the loyalty OF the native
soldiers to their English officers. The lat
est dispatches from Cairo state that toe
hostility of the Khedive towards the
English shows no signs OF aoaung. In
answering the threat uttered by LORD
Cromer to the effect that a complete
change Of regime might be necessary IN
the event of resistance 10 British autao1-

TIE CHINESE HOLOCAUST
Later Advises Show That fully One Thou
aand People Were Burned to Death.

SAN FRANCIsCo, January 24.-Shangnal
advices, by way of Vancouver, give addl-
tional details of the frightful loss OF life IN
the burning Of the great temple near Can
ton ON December Both. The facts show
that the disaster was more horrible than
the first advices indicated. IL seems that
ON the night before the fire band OF brig
ands. after having .despoiled number OF
family houses, tried to raid an exhibition
TO be held in honor of Tin Hau Goddess, in
which there were many valuable decora-
tions. Soldiers on guard opened IRE on
the robbers and fight ensued. The result
was one Of the marauderS was captured,
while the rest made their escape. On the
following night several places on the roof
OF temporary theatre which formed one
part of the amusements were seen on nre.
The flames spread rapidly and soon pam
boos and beans were falling from the roof.
Someo Of the audience were knocked down
by flaming rafters and badly burned before
thev could escape. Those who got out could
not go home on account OF the solid mass OF
people on the streets and they took
refuge in neighboring temple.
This al last caught fire
also and the scene then was an awful one.
Altogether over one thousand lives were
lost. including those who were burned IN
the theatre. The greater part OF the
bodies were so horribly burned that iden-
tifcation was impossible. The Chinese
are very particular about funeral honors 10
relativess but in this case relatives OF the
dead refused TO remove them, and so the
ruins were filed with blackened and de-
caved remains from which an intolerable
stencil arose. Two hundred and eighty
houses in the village were burned.

BEATTY'S TRIAL BEGUN.
a Jury Secured and the Reading OF the
Expert Evidence Begun.


PITTsBURG, PA, January 24.-Robert
Beatty, VINO is charged with being an ac-
complice Of Hugh +. Dempsey in the at
tempt to close down the Homestead steel
works during the strike by administering
poison to the non-union workmen, was
placed on trial in the Criminal Court TINS
morning. Beatty, it will be remembered,
was arrested in Louisville and brought back
here on extradition papers after hard
battle. The idictments against Beatty are
the same as those upon which Dempsey
was tried.
At the opening of the case the defense
protested against the right OF the common
wealth to stand aside jurors without cause
and objected to the system OF the kings
Jury" Judge Stowe said he knew
of no such institution as the
Kings Jury and agreed with Judge Gibson
of the Supreme Court, that commonwealth
would have no chance in times OF great
public excitement Of convicting any oneif
the right to stand jurors aside was denied.
The Jury was then selected without dlfi-
Guilty and the case was formally opened.
The Jury, as finally made,up, is composed
Of seven farmers, two merchants and three
mechanics. The prosecution and defense
having agreed to admit the evidence OF the
doctors, patients and experts, given in the
Dempsey case, the reading Of this testl-
mony was then begun and continued all
day 1t will probably occupy the greater
part OF to-morrow's session.
Patrick Gallagher and j. NJ. Davidson,
the two other defendants who confessed To
administering the poison at the instigation
Of Dempsey, will be called up Immediately
at the conclusion of the Beatty trial. 1t IS
expected that they will plead guilty and
throw themselves on the mercy OF the court
