Kansas Weather Observations.

Fair rains occurred the first Of the
week in the northern half of the middle
division and generally in the eastern
with light rains in the western divis-
ion. The week has experienced warm
days with unusually cool nights aud a
clear sky. The rains have improved
the pastures and late crops and put the
ground In good condition for fall plow-
ing. HayiDg is in progress generally
over the State, while In the southeast
ern counties it is about over and corn
cutting has commenced.
Corn fodder cutting is in progress in
the middle division. In the southern
counties of the middle division the
ground is generally too dry for fall
plowing. Threshing progresses slowly
in the eastern division, farmers at
present prices preferring TO hold their
wheat in stack. Chinch bugs are at
work In cornhelds in Woodson and
Reno and in the latter county have
attacked broom aud katiir corn, Frost
on the goth did slight damage in Stat
ford. Rain is much needed over the
larger part Of the State, seriously in
many portions.

A Narrow Escape.

This time 1t was a poorly constructed
clstern cover that might have caused
sorrow and pain to the friends and
relatives Of Jacob Fair. Saturday
night Jake was in Gish & Keller's shop
on Buckeye and going back of the
building stepped on loose cistern
cover which tilted letting him fall into
the cistern. Fortunately in the fall
he grasped the easement with one
hand and with the water coming to hii
knees hung suspended for severa
minutes before he could pull himself
out OF his uncomfortable position. Th'
cistern is large one holding over two
hundred barrels and was almost full o.
water; the opening is about three fee
across. 1t was a narrow escape.

FOR THE WINNERS.
A Patriotic Epistle from Defeated
Candidate.
To the Editor OF TnE REFLECTOR.


To the EDITOR OF THE REFLECTOR.
For thirty three years l have been
voting the Republican ticket. l shall
do so again next Nov. l am well
pleased with the selections made
Saturday, don't think stronger
ticket could have been nominated. All
the candidates are well known, and
their selection proves their ability.
The opposition, singly, or rs an
amalgamated association cannot by
any means defeat this ticket. The
Populists are dispirited, reticent and
doubling, knowing that "their time
draweth nigh" Even the Monitor
refuses to discuss the theories it ad-
vocated two years ago. In lieu of the
glitteriDg promises made to Republi-
cans that their financial obligations
would be greatly lightened by cheap
money" they are realizing that their
last state is worse than the first. y
Even the Democrat within their ranks
isn't satisfied with the change" He,
too, Is troubled, and the beginning OF
the endn is dawning on his vision. And
there, too, is all that element which
antagonize American institutions, in
cluded in the ranks of those who
brought about the "change." They
feel that change came DER the spirit
of their dream"-a change from bad to
worse. But "why muse upon the
past with sOrrow?n Soon a brighter
era, an era Of good feeling, OF pros
perily, an era when every true Ameii
can citizen will rejoice in bis country't
destiny, will be ushered in. May the
time soon come when Republicans
Democrats and Populists shall lay
aside their prejudices willingly, re-
nounce past foliies, and unite ito pro
mote the general welfare" Their
shall the American citizen, looking Il
the east where our manufactures bic

yankee sends his wooden nutmeg

Looking to the north, the great refrig
orator of our continent, where sports

west where the Golden gate stand

their night caps of untrodden snow

A VEGETABLE BONANZA.
Root That Il Often Quoted as Being
the Most Valuable.

Root That IL Often Quoted As Being
the Most Valuable.
High prices are often paid at certain
times for drugs such as quinine, CO.
caine and others, but a drug Is used In
North China which in actual value far
surpasses anything which has been
known here.
The substance in question Is called
ginseng, and is the root Of Aralia quin-
quefolia. 1t is so highly valued as
tonic and stimulant medicine in China
that 1t is sold at from twenty TO two
hundred and fifty times its weight In
silver, sometimes for five hundred
times that amount. Pearson's Monthly
states, however, that IL possesses no
important medicinal properties. Next
to China the drug is produced In good
quality in Corea, and is the principal
article of export from Corea inta China.
So much is this the case that the Co
renns are 10th TO part with any seeds
OF the plant lest their practical monop-
oily in this root should be invaded
The wonder is that with such much
used commodity at such price steps
are not taken to cultivate IL In SUM-
cient quantity SO as TO adjust the bal
ance between supply and demand.
The reduction, for example, in the
price of quinine was largely the result
of increased cultivation of the cinchona
plant, and the same may be said of CO.
caine in respect to the cocoa plant.
Perhaps, however, the foreign substi-
tutes Of the real product, ginseng,
which reach the Chinese markets from
North America and elsewhere, inter
tere with the native production. But
with silver In one scale and portions of
the highly-esteemed root in the other,
II seems reasonable to conclude that
the cultivation Of the Aralia quinque-
folia in North China would be remu.

CLEAN UP.

Every day brings fresh news of the
spread OF cholera IN Europe. 1t has be-
gun early, is spreading rapidly and this
country can hardly escape. 1t is the
duty OF the government officials to keep
it out if they can, but we must not rely
on them. 1t is the duty Of every city
and every citizen to do everything pos
sible to ward off the dreaded scourge.
Clean up; see that wells and bitches
are kept clean and pure, let old rubbish
be burned. Everyone can quarantine
against cholera, and other diseases at
the same time, by surrounding himself
with pure air and eating and drinking
pure food. To clean up and keep clean
will repay US hundred-iold even il
cholera never crosses the ocean.

THE NEW CHARTER.

The bill introduced into the house by
Mr.. Hurley to provide the city OF PhG-
nix with a new charter, is one whose
course will be awaited with great in
terest and its passage Is much to be de-
sired. Its provisions were determined
By the gentlemen of the chamber Of
commerce after having obtained the
fullest possible expression of the views
OF those interested. That new char
ter is almost indispensable none can
deny and that one based on the terms
of Mr.. Hurley's bill will as nearly as
possible meet all requirements is equal
ly undeniable.
The charter voted down at the special
election contained two fatally objection
able features, one OF which invested the
council to with too great power while
the other deprived property owners of
any voice in the matter of improve
ments affecting them. In the new
charter, both of these evils will be cor
rected.

have informed them as to the precise
needs OF the city and it should be passed

moved by spirit of hostility toward
the newspapers. Most of them have in
fact shown from time to time that they
are not. Neither is it to be inferred
that they conceded with Mr.. Skinner
in his misdirected scheme of retrench-
ment.
Concerning the part taken by news
papers in territorial affairs. Mr.. Brewer
gave it as his opinion that in the mat
ter of the bonds alone the press of Arr
IONA have deserved more than the ter
ritory can do for them. He believed
that it was the newspapers, supple
mental to the work OF the loan commits
sion, that effected the remarkably fav-
orable sale Of the territorial bonds.
