From One Who Was There.

Emporia, Kans July 4th 1885,
EDITOR DEMOCRAT:
have just returned from Chicago
and feel like advising and encouraging
everybody especially teachers and ad-
vanced students, to visit the Worlds
Fair. The educational value of this
condensed trip around the world is so
great that young people especially can
afford to make great sacrifices if nee
essary, in order to see this great con-
gregation of the nations of the earth
with their varied costumes, habits, in
dustries, etc.
The cost of attending the fair is much
less than I had anticipated. Mrs
ReeCe, Lois, Archie, Hazel, and 1
stopped at the Columbian Hotel cor. of
7Ist street and Cottage Grove Ave. 1t
is very quiet pleasant homelike place
and convenient to the grounds. Our
rooms were well finished and furnished
and the cost for the 5 persons was 81 a
restaurants is no greater than at Great
Bend and other Kansas cities. At the
French cafe on the grounds, and out
side of the grounds coffee, tea, sand
witches, pies, milk, sell at cents.
Lemonade 5 cents. Most places on
the grounds and some places in the
city charge 10 cents. This however is
no more than the regular price at rail-
road restaurants all over our own state.
The Santa Fe Co., always looking to
the interests of its patrons has regard
less OF the protests of other companies
lowered the rates and put on through
chair cars for the comfort and convent
ence of of its patrons. The kindness of
the Santa Fe Co. in lowering the rates
just now and thus forcing other compa-
MES to do the same. will long be appre-
ciated by the travelling public. 1 men,
ton these facts because the report that
good accommodations In Chicago are
so expensive that none but the wealthy
can attend the Fair, has caused many
people to give up the idea of going.
When you visit the fair, go first to
the Kansas building and drink at the
Sunf1ower Fountain placed there by the
boys and girls of Kansas The notices
on the silver cups beautifully express
the noble sentiment that prevails among
the young people of Kansas. Our
number is SOY West Sixth Ave, EN-
poria, Kans. We are always glad to
have Great Bend people stop with US.

As the pesky flies are beginning to
make their appearance by the millions
we will give our readers very simple
and cheap mixture which is sure death
to these troublesome creatures. Take
half teaspoonful of black pepper,
finely ground, mix with double the
quantity of brown sugar, the COM
pound to be softened with cream.
The flies will eat greedily of this mix
ture if placed where they can easily
reach it, but it will be their last meal
for the least taste of it to fly is rank
poison. If watched they will often be
seen to drop within a few feet of the
plate they have just left and some of
the healtiest eaters do not live to leave
the plate. Try this remedy. it is sure
death.

Lack of EntArnrisa.

''Lst me have three fingers of wills
key" he said to the clerk of a drug
store in a Kansas town.
81 can't replied the clerk, who did
not know the customer. 'sThis is a
prohibition state
81 can't get drink of whiskey, eh?''
''No, sir; not without a physician
prescription, when it is to be used as a
medicine
els there no emergency at all in
which you would be permitted to dis
pense small quantity of whiskey with
out that formality-a case of life and
death, for instance?'
"Why yes replied the clerk 81 sup
pose if a man was to be bitten by a
rattlesnake, and it would require some
time to go to a doctor and get pre-
scription, in that case it might be
allowable to give him whiskey.''
''Do you know where you could find
a shaker" was the next query.
''Why, no. replied the clerk, greatly
surprised at the query.
''Well," commented the thirsty one,
with great deal of disgust in his tone,
sit seems to me that if this drug store
had any enterprise it would keep rat
tlesnake on hand for use in cases of
emergency. '-Harper's Magazine.

REPUBLICANS DIVIDED.

A few days since The Press said
that the republican party of Kansas
was hopelessly devided upon the silver
question. The utterances of the lead
ing journals of the party prove our as
sertion. Take for example the utter
ances of the AtchisoI Champion and
the Topeka Capitol; the one is TRIM
mer on the question, waiting for the
republicans in congress and the lead
ership of the party to sound the key
note, when it will fall into line for the
hard money theories of the east, while
the other is in unison with the senti-
ment of the west. The Champion is
fearless and brave in the support of
free coinage. And there is no doubt
but the majority of the republican
party of Kansas are with it. In re-
cent issue that paper speaks out boldly
as follows:
1.-The greatest battle of human free
dom is now being fought. The con-
spiracy of all the bankers of Europe
and England and Wall street to reduce
the standard of all values to the single
item of gold alone is an attempt to
make it possible for less than $4,000
men to control tn , finances of all the
earth. A moments reflection will ex-
plain what this means. It not only
covers the right to fix the rate of inter.
est, but to govern the prices of every
product of labor and the farm through
out the known world. The battle is
on. 1t cannot cease now until the is
sue is decided. The victory will be for
the $4,000 or for the untold who farm
and toll, manufacture and barter.
Every dollar should be the equal of its
neighbor and be worth 100 cents.
That standard all agree is the correct
point, The issue is not upon that
point, but the fight is for quantity. If
the $4,000 can demonetize all metal but
gold-then they can demonetize all pa
per money. The real question is, shall
the money of the people be made in the
interest of the people or for the benefit
of the 25, 900? How other nations may
solve this problem is not the question
TO be solved by American citizens.
How shall it be settled in uhe United
States? That's the question. What
is best for the American people? That
is the real issue. The Wall street ma.
nipulatOrs with to presses they own
and the fnanciers lney control in the
west, say this question Di.st be settled
to suit Wall street. This is the whole
thing in nutshell. They say to Kan
sas close down the smelters, shut
down the mines in Colorado, then you
can sell your butter and eggs and
grain and live stock in New York, and
pay the freights, and Wall street will
dictate the terms.''
These words have the true ring, and
in the battle than is now on many
honest republicans will be found align
ing themselves against the goldbug
leadership of the party. The great
west ought to be of one mind upon
this great question.-Topeka Press.

lesson: "a poor family in this city took

the stove where it was placed. No bank
in this city has collapsed. Nervous peo-
pie may find a lesson in this incident"

IN Col JOE. BORDERS letter from
the Worlds Fair to the Hoisington
Blade, he says this of the Kansas ex-
hibit: MY first visit to the agricultu-
raj building was in company with my
friend Commissioner Cobun, and when
he ushered me into the Kansas exhibit
was struck with speechless awe at its
grandeur. The fact was, it was gen.
creditable one to Kansas. The exhibits
of our cereals were artistically arrang-
ed and good taste was displayed by the
decorators. Nowhere in all that vast
building could be found a finer
exhibit than that of Kansas. The agri-
cultural building is, indeed Beauty.
And when our good friends, the farm
ers, visit this fair they will be glad
to see and know that the most beauti-
full of all the exposition palaces is the
one in which their interests and hopes
center" Compare this with what
Granny Townsley said about it, and
then hide your face in shame, you
'standuppers, for the poor old disap-
pointment who presides over the
Tribune. Col. Border is live, widea-
wake Kansan, who only mixes his fic-
ton. in the heat of campaign, with
politics, and who will tell the truth
though the republican party fall, when
it comes to standing up for his state.
How would it do for Congress to is
sue volume of greenbacks sufficient
to pay the amounts due for pensions?
Provided that these greenbacks shall
be legal tender for all dues, public
and private, and the act would neither
appreciate gold nor depreciate the notes.
Its advantage would be that the money
paid for pensions circulates more wide
ly among the people than any other
disbursement of the government. and
this fact would insure a circulating
medium which would largely meet the
popular necessities.
