A Dazzling Drug Store Opened Last
 Night.

The drug store of Wakelin X Co.,, in the Monihon block, was thrown open last night and the bright glare of elec- tric lamps reflected from the bright furniture and fixtures within attracted crowd during the evening. The be- longings are oflthe most modern kind and have been placed almost regard less of expense. The store is one of the most metropolitan in the west and can hardly fail to attract a large pat ronage.
 The mammoth soda fountain, as large in itself az a small drug store, breaths of winter and is revelation of icebergs. It stands almost to the ceil. ing and covers an area nearly ten feet square. Con strncted entirely of glass, metal and m arble, it is a dazzling feat ure of the establishment. The pro- prietors are thoroughly drug men and their gentlemanly clerks are trained to the business.

LAST NIGHTS RAIN.
A Prospect of Continuance of the
 Aqueous Blessing.

Aqueous Blessing.
 The prayer for rain was heard last night. A dun cloud of dust rolled up from the southeast and enveloped the valley, but the rain was not in the cloud of dust. After that came a strong wind, but the rain was not in the wind. After that the valley was oyerspresd by a dark, dense cloud, out of which came not "a still small voice" like that which attracted the attention of Elijah at Mt. Horeb, but the more sonorous roar of the thunder, reverberating from the tops of the Superstition mountains. That was the rain and everything was let loose. It may not have lasted long enough, but the clouds camped in the heavens over the valley and on going

Ambition.

What a world of recOllectiOns that
word calls to mind! The high hopes,
the resolves, and the goal we started
out to reach. But as yet we have not
reached it, having fallen by the way
side when only halfway there. But
the ambition is not dead, it is only
sleeping. 1t can be aroused, and we
will try once more to reach the goal.
An ambitious man may be diSappOint-
ed, his little scheme may have fallen
through, but you will find him "bOb-
bing up Serenely" in short time just
as enthusiastic as ever. If you take
away mans ambition what has he
got left to live for? Nothing. He is
dead or worse than dead, for he is TAX
ing up space that good live man could
fill. No man wants man in his en-
plOy without he has some ambition,
nor will he keep him there long; for as
soon as he is found wanting in this re-
spect he is politely told that his services
are not wanted. He must make room
for his more ambitious brother. A man
with ambition who will take hold is
bound to rise. We have number of
instances where men have risen to some
high position by the sheer force of will,
but behind the will was the ever inspir-
ing ambition beckoning them onward
toward the goal. You show me man
without ambition and l will show you
man that is not fit to drive hogs.
Ambition is to man what the dew is to
the flowers-it is that invigorating life
giving substance that is ever causing
men to do and dare. There is nothing
so stimulating to mans ambition as
little encouragement; kind word now
and then will work wonders. When a
man finds that his efforts are appre-
ciated he will throw fresh energy into
his work; it is no longer task for he
takes pleasure in doing it. So if there
is any danger of any of you letting
your ambition go to sleep, let me say
to you arouse 1T. Don't make the mis-
take that a great many make-that is
to dream your time away while here
thinking to make it up when you get
on the outside. But 60 in now, and
spend your time so that when that great
day does come you will be prepared to
fight life's battle anew. YON.

held as a secondary suljugatOr. We
find in the statutes a term of years or
days ascribed to every OffenSe, to be
meted out to the viOlatOr. If society
means to reform the criminal there is
no need of ascribing to every unlawful
act given term of years or days.
There is no need of measuring out JUS
tice like grocer measures out his COM
mOdities-a fixed amount for fixed
price. Reformation means to cure, and
if society means to cure the criminal OF
his evil tendencies, it should deal with
him as it does with the insane-cOnfin-
ing the convict until he is reformed,
that is, until his moral disease is pro-
nounced cured. TO sentence criminal
for stated term of years is Furnishing
the offender for the crime committed
and not seeking to reform the unsOund
morality of the convict. To cOnfine
criminals until they have worked out
their own salvation, until they have
shown by their conduct as prisoners
that if restored to liberty they would
become honest citizens, would be seek
ing to reform the convict, as well as
satisfying 1.-The vengeance of the law"
The limit of Imprisonment should be
determined by the good conduct of the
convict and not by the crime commit
ted. When a convict had proved him
self worthy of his liberty he should be
set free, and if he erred he should be
mercifully dealt with; but upon being
given his liberty the third time and he
abusing it, he should never again be
permitted to mingle with the world.
Perhaps this would be too hard on the
third timer; but if one seeks to make a
prison place of irregular habitation,
he should at least be allowed the priv
ilege of making it his constant home.

Joy In Oklahoma.

A special dispatch from Guthrie, Ok
lahOma. March 4, to the Globe Democrat,
says:
''All last night crowds fingered about
the newspaper offices here waiting some
news regarding the Cherokee Strip bill,
and when along towards mOrniug the
news came that the bill had been sent
back to Congress, even the most san
guine gave up all hopes Of it's passage
The city had scarcely got wakened up to
business, however, this morning, when
message came that the bill had passed
Like prairie fire before high wind
the news spread, and soon the entire
city was aflame with excitement. With
in half hour cOurierS were departing
on horseback for the boomers camps
along the line. Everybody here, from
the Governor down to the poorest negro
is delighted with the news, and all feel
that Oklahoma will now take a stride
forward which will surpass her glorious
record of the last three years. The news
was so good that the old boomers could
not believe it for time, but when they
fully realized that the long hoped for
hour had arrived some broke down and
wept while others shouted and rushed
about like crazy men. In the hundreds
of tents and huts along the line, where
families have waited long months, and
some even years, with poverty and pri-
vatiOn as companions, there is rejoicing
such as only the homeless can know
when at last a home is assured, and
many an old crippled soldier tonight
has his long suffering family gathered
about him in the Pickering light of the
campfire talking hopefully of the fut-
ure. In every direction tonight the
lights of great camp-fres are seen, show
ing that the news is fast reaching the
most isolated points, and all are rejoic-
ing here. In this city men are already
preparing for the run, and fast horses
have doubled in price. Car load after
car load of tents, blankets and camp
equipage are being loaded, and contracts
have been let for the erection of build
ings to house the thousands who will
come here to wait"

A View of It.

Our universal aim seems to be hap
piness, felicity of mind and body What
constitutes happiness? Philosophers
have answered the question in various
terms, each giving his individual idea
of what, to him, was happiness and how
men were to secure the universal dis
pensatiOn of it. Confucius said, in con-
nection with securing universal happi-
ness the root of all law, that the follow
ing should be obeyed: "Do not unto
athers what you would not have them
do unto you There is a doubt if a
thief would seek retaliation from the
fraternity who had robbed him in turn,
nor is it to be supposed that he would
wish the offender to be any more mer-
eifully dealt with than he would have
been had he been discovered in the orig
inal crime. The original thief would
not wish the one that had dealt with him.
as he (himself) had dealt with others,
any happiness. And why? Because the
universal law is "an eye for an eye
and not, do not unto others what you
would not have them do unto you" To
punish supercedes to save in the minds
Of the majority, good or bad. If we
violate the law we know that we are
Jeopardizing our liberty, if we do not
realize at the same time that we are
committing crime. We are aware that
If apprehended we would be punished.
We could not excuse ourselves to the
court by pleading that we were maniacs
of the "klepti. species, the court would
not be satisfied with such lame excuse;
the court would reason that "the ma
jesty of the law" must be upheld and

Postal Thieves Always Caught.

In an average year, says the postmas

tions, just issued by the Thayers, of Bos-

OF assistant pOStmaSterS, forty or fifty
pOstoffice clerks, and any where from
fifty to seventy mail carriers are arrest
ed for dishonesty. But there are $780, 600
people employed in the postal service in
one way or another, and this percentage
of wrOng-doing is infinitesimal. But
that does not prevent the inspector force
from useing it's hardest efforts to cut the
percentage down, and they are doing it,
especially since the lottery matter has
been driven from the mails. 1t is to be
said in eXtenuation, too, that these tens
of thousands of postal employees are
exposed to much temptation, and some
times they find themselves in tight
places financially, and it seems simple
thing to help themselves out temporari-
ly by turning over" some of the gov
ernment cash cash which is lying idle
on their hands. Every dishonest postal
employee imagineS that his method Of
stealing is new one; that he does it
better than anyone ever did it before;
and that he can elude detection. He is
invariably caught. He can never tell
when he is being watched or how.-Er.

Synopsis of Congressional poinps.

WASHINGTON. Aug 26.-The speech made
by Hill of New York in the senate was re-
markable in many respects. One of these
was the hostility to President Cleveland
shown all through it; another was that
the senator came out fatty as a free coin
age man, and even said the ratio should
be 1512 to l instead of 16 to l. The
fiat theory was fully indorsed. The gold
dollar was worth 100 cents because it was
coined to be worth that much; so would
the silver dollar be under similar circum-
stances. Coming and purchase were two
different things. Purchase implied price
and that made a thing commodity.
Free coinage made money. He had a big
audience. Stewart spoke next to a score of
senators. Some uninteresting legislation
was passed and the senate adjourned to
Monday.
Nothing sensational transpired in the
house. Aside from the speeches delivered
by Burrows and Springer there were none
that commanded the attention of the mem
bers ard, indeed these two speeches were
not listened to with the interest they de-
served

GOTHAM BALANCES NOT GOOD.
No Longer To BE Accepted Legal Re-
serve of Kansas Banks.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug 26.-State Bank
Commissioner Breidenthal has issued a
circular letter to all state and private
banks in Kansas, in which ne calls atten-
tion to the refusal of New York banks to
pay drafts, except through the clearing
house, and declares that this action would
indicate that the bTnks are insolvent, the
United States supreme court having de-
clared insolvency to be inability to meet
obligations in the usual and ordinary
course of fbusineSS.
He calls attention to section 13 of the
Kansas banking law, which provides that
Each bank shall at all times have on
hand 20 per cent. of its deposits, one-half
of which may consist of balances due to it
from good, solvent banks" and continues:
an view of 'heSe facts balances due from
New York city banks in excess of 2 per
cent. of your deposits, VIII not,be considered
as a part of your legal reserve until such
banks shall again resume payment in
lawful money of the United States" He
also calls for the name OF each banks

on deposit there.

In property given in these dispatches were
about correct, the total reaching S505, 600
by the latest estimates. Included in this
