LET ALL THE PEOPLE SAY AMEN,

The Emporia Republican has an
editorial on the money question in its
issue of June 28 which isreally hope
full. 1t exhibits signs Of awakening
intelligence. Will the Republican
stand by the sentiment Of that editor
isl, or will it again silently acquesce
in the policy of party which is as
far from that doctrine as the anti

ANOTHER REPUBLICAN, FAKE EX-

Every newspaper q? in the country
has been filed lately with accounts of
how Mrs. Lease was instrumental in
the appointment Of the superintend-
ent of the deaf and dumb asylum at
Olathe, thereby securing place for
her son as secretary. It now turns
out that her son has not received any
such appointment, and that Mrs.
Lease was not in the state when she
was said to have secured this place
for HIM.

In another column will be found
the call for a silver convention to be
held IN this city. This convention
should be well attended and should
raise the sentiment of Kansas, ire
spectlve of party, upon the silver
question. The sentiment in this state
in favor of silver is not limited to one
party. 1t is strong In all parties, and
the crisis demands that party lines
should be dlsregarded, and that it
should find expression in unmistak-
able terms. 1t should not be smoth-
cred or misrepresented by a few gold
bug tools who assume tOspeak for the

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY.

R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly report
under date of July 3 contains these
choice contributions to the multi
plicity of evidences of our wonderful
prosperity as a people:
The closing Of the Indian mintS against
silver, the fall Of silver bullion TO 62 cents
in New York and 32H d. at London on
Thursday, the fall in wheat TO 62A cents at
Chicago and 70 cents at New York, the sus-
pension Of operations by the miners and
smelters Of Colorado and some other silver
producing states have made the past week
one of unusual interest.

Provisions are steady, BUT WHEAT is AT
THE LOWEST PRICE FOR FORTY YEARS, though
now held By strong parties.
Hog products have declined 65 cents for
pork per barrel and 16 cents for lard per
hundred pounds, with increasing receipts of
hogs.
Cotton, though most Stubbornly sup
ported, is one eighth lower, stocks Of Amer
loan, here and abroad, being nearly two and
half million bales, though new cotton is
but sixty days away.
Business in iron and steel products was
remarkably depressed, and experienced OBJ
servers pronounce the situation and outlook
most unfsvOrsble ever known. The volume
Of business was quite large but at the lowest
price on record.
Trade in woolens was much restricted and
is waiting for future developments, neither
manufacturers nor merchants caring TO take
risks which they can avoid.
In boots and shoes somewhat general
of manufacture at the east seems
and while the cotton men
are in good shape, there is much reluctance
TO enter into large engagements for the
future.
Business failures the last seven days were
$50. For the quarter ending June 30 there
were S,199 against Lilo the second quarter
of last year. For the six months Of 1893 the
failures were 6,4O1, against 5,5O3 during the
same period in 1892, showing an increase Of
S98. The total liabilities of all failures in
the first six months of 1898 are s16S, S,OO0, 600,
while for the same period in 1892 they were
$42 OOO, 900, showing an increase Of $780,

Stranger Than Fiction.

The Indianapolis News says that a
certain farm editor received the fol-
lowing story and sent it to the curio
column collector, who returned it be-
cause he knew it stated facts and not
fiction. A horticulturist had missed
many apples every night. Finally
he set watch, expecting to trap his
neighbours boys. In the dim night
light he saw limbs of apple trees
shaking, and then he heard the fruit
falling. He had seen no one enter
the orchard. Non-plused he crepG up
close to the shaking tree. He saw a
hedgehog descend from the tree, roll
over on the apples until its back was
laden with the fruit attached by the
quilts, and wabble off. The farm ed
itor didn't doubt the story, but won
dered what an insect-eating animal
wanted with apples. "For the
worms" triumphantly explained the
curio man.

GUARDED The APPLE TREE
A Southern BOY who Kept a Promise to
His Sweetheart.


'Do you see that gentleman sitting

said Mr.. Matlock, the actor, TO an At
lanta Constitution reporter. "He
and myself met face TO face before
the fall of Vicksburg. We were two
ragged boys then. | was in an apple

and had trespassed too far upon the
confederate lines that | might get
some fruit from the tree. 1t was for

disobey, he would shoot me. As
touched the ground he laughed heart
lily and said that he did not mean to
hurt me, but if l had not obeyed he
would have been compelled to shoot.
We sat down at the foot of the tree
and became well acquainted, though
he would not allow me the privilege
} of single apple, because he said, the
tree was upon the plantation of the
father of his sweetheart, and he had
promised her that no Northerner
should taste any of the fruit.
"At that period | was learning TO

kept his promise TO her. We contin-
tinued our acquaintance for a year or
so after the close of hostilities by
correspondence, and this is the first
day we have met since the day under
the apple tree. He saw my name on
the program at the play last night
and to-day called upon me, and how
we embraced one another was pleas

Warren and he is a prominent bust

of the season he has invited me TO

his word that he would guard with
his life the apples from the Northern
soldier. OF course he would have
killed me if l had not come down

The English have queer sort of COM
bination hearse and coach, for mourners
that is very much used by the working
people in the large cities. 1t is called a
shelibere, after the inventor, an English
undertaken, who patented it about 40
years ago, though the vehicle on which
he obtained his letters was very different
from those now in use. The modern
vehicle is made to contain full sized
coffin in the forward part and to carry
from to 10 persons behind, though few
of the larger sizes are made, as the small
er ones are in greater demand. They are
fitted up like private carriages and lined
inside with morocco and are used with
either one or two horses. In the large
English manufacturing towns they are
used four or five times as often as hearses.
The forward compartment of the orig
NAL shelibere was made in telescope
fashion, SO that after the coffin was re-
moved it could be shut up to one-fourth
of its full dimensions. This arrange
ment was soon abandoned, however, as
nothing desirable was gained by it, and
since then improvements in the shelibere
| nave kept pace with those ON collins,
aeadstones and other things funereal,
An attempt was made to introduce

States some years ago, but it did not

were made were only intended to obviate
The necessity for putting the collins of

lives. A sort Of shelibere is in use in

ularly in Leipsic, where they are often
seen.
