We have received several COM
munications concerning the indict-
ment of the Jobs and Davis. These
communications are all sensible,
forceful and entirely void OF obJec-
tionable features, and yet we are
constrained not to publish them for
this reason: The LEADER felt that
its solemn duty was to expose as
much of the rottenness OF that affair
as came within its knowledge. This
it did and a grand jury of seven
honest and true men assisted by the
prosecuting attorney, one OF the
ablest attorneys in the state, have
vindicated our course and indicted
the parties in the case. The mat
ter is now in the court, in whose
probity and integrity we have i'm

the accused will have fair anC
impartial trial and it is not our de
sire to say any thing that might b.
construed by the defense 10 be al
attempt to create a prejudice agains
them. For this reason the LEADE
desires to say nothing more at pres
ent.
AS to the gratuitous insult
which have been offered to ii
grand jury and our people general
they amount to nothing, are the
own refutation and are not wort
answering.

STOCK AND FARM.

A new demand for feeding cattle has
sprung up in the Kansas City, Kan,
market and one that promises well for the
future. The big Kentucky feeders, who
have heretofore gotten their young cat
tie nearer home, are now turning their
attention to Kansas. st. Louis used to
supply good many cattle to this trade
and also to feeders in Ohio, and there
is no reason why share Of il should
not come to Kansas if worked for.
Jewell City Republican: John Blay-
lock says Kansas is not bad country
to rise in, if the crops do fail once in q
while. He came here in the 70's, traded
an old shot gun and two calves for a
claim of $50 acres, on which he now has
we'll improved farm, all under fence,
house, barn, orchard and feed lots, and
last, but not least, he has in the house
an intelligent wife and lots of fine look
ing children.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

Topeka Journal: The Ninde Chau-
tauqua organized at the First Methodist
church parlors. Bishop Vincent and T.
B. Sweet will assist in making this one
of the brightest and best Chautauqua
years. Roman history will be the win
ter's study.
The services conducted by Elder Ro-
mig and Prof. Dowdy in East Topeka
have closed. The praise service of song
held Saturday evening was unusually in
teresting. Elder Romig has succeeded in
organizing a church with near 400 mem.
bers, They have employed Elder F. E
Mallory, of Atchison as pastor, have raised
nearly money enough to purchase lots
and build, and in a short while they ex-
pect to have comfortable house of their
own in which to worship. East To
peka has been religiously awakened as
never before. Up to this time 4O6 have
responded to the invitations to come tC
Christ. OF this number 800 have been
immersed.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

A meeting Of the stockholders Of the
Santa Fe system has been called by
Geo. G. Magoun, chairman Of the ex.
ecutive board of that company, to
be held at the company's general head
quarters in Topeka, October 26. The
proxies will be held as usual by Kidder,
Peabody & Co.
The Santa Fe is in correspondence
with the various roads comprising the
Western Passenger association, endeav-
oring to secure cheap rates to California
this winter. What is proposed is q
$65.50 rate from tho Missouri river, and
an $50 rate from Chicago. The chances
for an immediate acceptance of these
rates by the association are very meager,
but the leading western lines would like
to have them in effect by the 10th of
October, when the irrigation congress is
held at Los Angeles.

The problem Of manufacturing a
non-corrosive paint for the bottoms
Of steel and iron warships, which has
been ycxing the navy officials for a
long time, has just been satisfacto-
rlly settled. A paint was invented in
Germany, several years ago. which
had the desired properties; but, as
the government requires American
made paint on American warships, it
could not be used. Now, however,
the German paint plant has been re-
moved to this country and United
States cruisers will now have nom
corrosive bottoms, The question Of
suitable paint for use in salt water
has troubled all countries, the Japan
csc alone having had a non-corrosive
article, This is a lacquer whose COM
position they keep secret.

JOIYN CUDAHY, the great packer,
many times a millionaire as was COM
monty reported, played the role of
"plunger, and plunged into financial
ruin. For many years he had been
remarkably successful man. BY close
attention to great and profitable
business, and by shrewd buying and
selling and handling Of pork prod
ucts, he had accumulated a vast fort
une. He might have retired at any
time and been as happy as vast
wealth can make any man for the
rest of his life, enjoying the best that
money can afford, and doing good all
around him. His income was so vast
that it would have been serious
effort to spend the tenth OF it. He
was conducting a colossal enterprise.
and he employed an army Of well-paid
men. Had he been content with that
he would have prospered. But he
had the specializing spirit. He was
not content until he had risked all on
the turn of a Garland he lost his
fortune. Why did he do it? is the
inevitable question that must be
asked. Why do other men commit
the same folly? What becomes Of
their conservatism, their reflection,
their common sense, their Judgment?
Even ii they double their fortune by
speculative stroke, Of what good is
it to them? 1t does not increase
their happiness. 1t only doubles
their discomfort, and makes them
doubly anxious to risk everything
again in one grand plunge, and vent
ure all, taking the chances Of going
down so far that recovery is impossi-
BILE. 1t is double or quit, and it usu-
ally is quit forever. II they double
they only double their own cares. II
they lose they so broke, and are
wretched the remainder of their
lives. This millionaire has plunged
into ruin, but the plunging will GO
on, and other millionalres will go,
like him, on corner" speculation.
Those who are not millionaires and
don't gamble have every reason to be
thankful that they have not the
money for q big plunge.

A DISPATCH from Kokomo, Ind,
recently reported the death Of Juan
Burger, the l3-year-Old son Of citi-
zen of that place, from the direct
effects Of cigarette smoking. In his
room were found 0SS empty cigarette
boxes he was saving up to send to the
manufacturers for prize. He had
come within twelve of the prize when
inevitable death stepped in and
claimed the victim--of narcotic poi
soning-and yet, with these fatal re-
suits constantly reported, there are
thousands of parents who are so un-
wise as to offer no objection or to
make no effort to prevent their chill
dren from continuing habit which,
If it does not soon kill them, dwarfs
and wrecks them for life! And in the
face of this cigarette numbering there
are manufacturers sordid and wreck
less enough to offer a premium for the
murder of Children 1t is pity no
law can be found which will stop the
evil. 1t is even more apity that there
is not some law which will visit the
severest penalties upon those who
tempt children into this pernicious
habit by the Offering of prizes.

FRANK r, STOCKTON, writing in
the Forum Of Mark Twain and his
recent works, says: mark Twain's
most noble characteristic Is courage.
Few other men-even If the other
men could think of such things
would dare to say the things that
Mark Twain says. TO describe the
travels of a man on glacier, with
particular reference to the fact that
being pressed for time he rode upon
the middle of the glacier, which
moves faster than the edges, is one
Of the bravest things in literature.
1t required courage to write She,
but She could not possibly exist and
glaciers do move. Mark Twain is a
high jumper, but he always jumps
from the solid rock of fact and is
not afraid Of breaking his neck by
falling back upon it,.

Hurrah FOR Posex County |,

"EhOmas p. Harris and family, Of
Posey County, Indiana, moved to
Saline County, Illinois, last winter,
arriving at their new home Dec. 3"
says John S. Williams, in the Mount
Vernon Ind. Democrat. "The Mon
day following, Dec. 5, his children.
five in number, started to school.
The school was over one-half out
when they started. They attended
school just two and one-half months
at the Shady Grove school, Saline
County, Ill. They had attended
school about the same length of time
at the Miller school in Black Town
ship before leaving this State.
"There were eight prizes given for
good scholarship by the teachers OF
Shady Grove school, and Mr.. Harris
children captured every one of them.
Charley Harris, aged IA years, took
two prizes, competing against 20
year-old pupils; Ina, aged IL years,
took two prizes, competing against
pupils IS years old; Maggie, aged 0,
carried off two prizes, competing
against l5-year-old pupils; Herbert
and Herman, twins, aged 7 years,
captured one prize each, competing
against l2-year-0ld pupils.
son the last night OF school they
had an old-fashioned spelling match,
such as we used to have in Indiana
thirty years ago. The teacher told
everybody to stand up and spell, and
when one missed word he had to
sit down. There were two teachers
present who took part in the spell
ing, and who do you think stood up
the longest? One Of the Sucker
school teachers, of course. Well,
hardly. 1t was little Ina Harris,
formerly Of Millers school, 'Hooppolc
Township, Posey County, Ingiany,'
aged II years, and don't you fail to
comment upon it!
Read this, We Carping critics of
Chicago we who have been poking
fun at 'Posey County, Ingiany' Go
to-! Weep and howl for your mis-
cries that shall come upon you!
Verify, it would be better to have
one Of your pork houses tied about
your neck and be cast into the depths
of Lake Michigan than to try to spell
down a l2-year-old pupil from 'Posey
County, Ingiany,' schools.
"Ahem, gentlemen, take the wit
ness We will acknowledge the
'hooppoles and pumpkins if you long
nosed Suckers will tell US what you
have to brag about Hprrah for
Posey County!

A MAN killed himself in Philat

A MAN killed himself in Philadel-
phia and left his body to medical
college. This was his dying message,
written on a postal card; "A Chump
for Observation-Disclosures: Cut my
body up to show the young cranks
how a chump is made. l have been
a chump ever since 1 became man.
/ owe nobody anything. | have no
money aud no friends Don't let my

This man may have been a chump,
but it is doubtful. 1t is one Of the
paradoxes of life that when a man
knows he is a chump he is not a
chump Buffalo Express,

Fans.

Fans have long since gone beyond
the stage of strict use, and are now
regarded as a part of the finished
toilet of the well-dressed woman.
For this particular summer, the
black fan holds the highest place in
regard of "fair woman" The kinds
most in favor are those Of plain black
silk, mounted on various colored
sticks, or else the spangled ones. A
few years back, the only spangled
fans were Of silk, but we have now
the daintiest creations in gauze and
net. To one skilled in the manipu-
lation of one of these very useful lit
tie articles, its absence creates a sort
OF void. 1t is so useful to fill up the
pauSes in an awkward conversation,
or lend an expressive emphasis when
words fail. BY all means have a
black fan, and learn how to use it
effectively.

The fruit years service of the female
nurses employed in the hospital at
the Leavenworth soldiers home ex-
PRED and they were notified that
their services we're no longer re.
quired. Three Of them left for New
York from whence they came, There are
other female nurses employed in the hos
pital, but as they are there on yearly
contracts, it is supposed that they, too,
will be let out at the expiration OF their
years service The discharge Of the fe-
male nurses is taken TO mean the aban-
donment Of the trained female nurses at
the home and the substitution OF male
attendants.
Emporia Republican: One Of the
many unreported fatalities that attended
the opening Of the Cherokee strip on the
10th instant was that Of Vernon Winter,
we'll known school teacher Of this
county. Mr.. Winter had a team and
wagon in the lines, and when the signal
was given, started with the rest on a
wild rush for a claim. He got crowded
out of the line, however, and in the blind
ing storm OF dust his horses plunged
headlong over an embankment, throwing
him into the ravne below and breaking
his neck. The body was found some
time afterwards by party Of friends
from the same neighborhood and
shipped to Olpe, where his parents
reside.
A dispatch from Leavenworth says
the grand lodge, Knights Of Honor,
which met in regular session here, is ex-
cited over the mysterious disappearance
of George Klockson, grand treasurer,
who failed to put in his appearance
Klockson lives at Fort Scott and drew
$3.50 out of his bank there and started
for Leavenworth. Most of the money
was in 50 and was for the purpose Of
paying the delegates to the grand lodge
their per diem. 1t is feared that Klockson
was foully dealt with, The police here
think they have solved the mystery.
They arrested Frank Howard, alias John
Moore, desperate burglar, who is want
ed for several crimes. In his possession
was found $505, mostly in $2/bills. The
police think he waylaid Klockson, robbed
and possibly murdered him.
The reunion of ex-soldiers and sailors
Of northern Arkansas and southern Mis-
souri, has Just closed. Two thousand old
comrades were present with their fami-
lies. The weather was all that could be
desired. The Kansas drum corps, of
Baxter post was on hand and furnished
music. The reunion Was under the su-
pervision of Col. w. II. Baker, formerly
Of Creston, Kan. AS usual Kansas men
furnished the bands, singers and speak
Drs. Among those present were Charles
Daniels and Captain Bob M. GROCER, Of
Baxter, Comrade II. Smith of Kansas
City, and others. Under the peculiar
laws OF Arkansas the union soldiers
can't get tents, but the confederates
can. This deficiency was supplied
by the Interstate Reunion association Of
Baxter, which furnished the boys 100
tents. Everyone present had a good
time and speak in praise of the manage
ment of the first reunion Of Yankees
held in Barton county, Ark.

A RETURN made by a British Gov
eminent agent shows some peculiar
things regarding the prices Of bread
and flour at different points on the
Continent of Europe. For instance,
-four retailed at . cents pound at
Budapest and s cents a pound at
Paris, Frankfort and Florence. At
Lille, -four was 4! cents pound, and
white household bread 81 cents a
pound; at Berlin these figures were
exactly reversed. OF course, quality
has much to do with price; but it is
remarkable how the price of bread
varies with different cities. In some
English cities it is almost given
away; and in some American cities II
brings two or three times the price
that it does in England.
