was the most destructive prairie IRE in
fourteen years. Starting between
Bunker Hill and Dorrsnce in Russell
county, the fire soon reached fright
full magnitude, and aided by fierce
gale blowing at the rate OF forty miles
an hour, the fire swept over the country
in a northsasterly direction, spreading
dismay among the people and entailing
great loss Of property and LIFE.
Thousands OF acres OF pasturage have
been burned, and seven lives are re-
ported as being lost and many more
persons are injured. A couple OF sur
rev loads of men, accompanied by DIR.
William Lille, went from this place to
give their aid and assistance to the
many sufferers by the fire. When the
fire reached the Saline river, being
famed by the gale, it leaped across the
river and with renewed energy rushed
onward, leaving homeless families and
devastation in its wake.

A Scnool-Boy on Corns.

Corns are of two kinds-vegetable
and animal. Vegetable corn grows
in rows, animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds of corn; there
is the unicorn, the capricorn, the
corn-dodger, the field corn, and the
toe corn, which is the corn you feel
most. 1t is said, 1 believe, that
gophers like corn; but persons hav-
ing corns do not like to 60 far if they
can help it. Corns have kernels, and
some colonies have corns. Vegetable
corns grow on ears, but animal corn
grows on the feet. at the other end
of the body. Another kind of corn Is
the acorn; these kind grow on oaks;
but there is no hoax about the corn.
Many a man, when he has a corn,
wishes it was an acorn. Folks who
have corns sometimes send for doc
tor; and if the doctor himselfis cOrned
he won't do as well as if he isn't. The
doctors says corns are produced by
tight boots and shoes, which is prob
ably the reason why when man is
tight they say he is corned. If a
farmer manages we'll ne can grow a
good deal of corn on an acre; but /
know farmer that mas one corn
that makes the biggest acher on his
farm. The bigger crop OF vegetable
corn a man raises the better he likes
it; but the bigger crop of animal corn
he raises he does not like It, An.
other kind of corn is the corn-dodger
The way it is made is very simple and
is as follows-that is if you want to
know. You 60 along the street and
meet man you know has corn, and
who is a rather rough character; then
you step on the toe that has the corn
on it and see if you don't have oc-
casion to dodge. In that way you
will find out what a corn-dodger is.

Frozen Eggs.

N the winter season quantities of
eggs are frozen, and it is generally
considered that such eggs are worth
but little, or 60 say the least, are
much injured for cooking purposes.
This, however, is not strictly true,
for if properly treated they are but
little injured. Instead Of putting
them into cold water to take out the
frost, and waiting several hours for
the thawing to take place, as was the
custom, according to the Poultry
World, and then finding the yelks in
such solid state that they can be
used with no satisfaction in cooking,
try the following method: Place
them in boiling water and leave them
there from five to twenty minutes,
according to the amount Of frost In
them, when, upon their being opened,
the yelks will be found in such
state that they can be used for almost
any culinary purpose.

A woRKlnoMEN's BUILDING.

Novel Enterprise at st. Louis-Elabor-
ate Arrangements for the ExposItion.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 1S.-There is
no city in the United States that has .
building of any Importance whatever
devoted entirely to the uses Of work
ingmen and owned by them.
st. Louis is to have one very soon.
The lodges and unions Of the city have
discovered that they are paying to the
owners of the various halls in which
they hold their meetings something
like $50, 900 year in rent, and they
are tired of it. The ruling rate of in
terest here is eight per cent. The
workingmen could pay the interest on
$3.50, 600 with the money they now
spend for rent. That is the way they
look at it, and the contemplation Of
the fact has driven them to the decis-
ion to build hall to cost about $780,
600 and pay for it by the rent charged!
the organizations that use it AS all
the building trades are supporters Of
the plan the building will probably be-
erected without delay, the idea being
now to finish it this year.
A new charity has been stablished
in st. Louis on such a broad founda-
ton that its success is guaranteed. It
has been found that some of the chill
dren in the public schools were so in
sufficiently fed that it was useless to
expect them to study. They were sent
off in the morning with a scanty break
fast and no lunch, and got only a little
to eat at night. A plan to help these
families was at once put into opera
ton, In charge of the Provident Asso-
citation. Agents were sent around to
the homes of all the school children
who were inadequately clothed and
fed, and systematic relief was pro-
vided for the heads of the families.
The plan was suggested first a month
ago, and the principals of the schools
report that il has resulted in great
increase of pupils and much more salts
factory work. The charity viii be
made permanent one, and 1t has as
surance Of strong financial support
There has been already a rush Of ex-
hibitors to the Exposition, which opens
in September, and the management
has been forced to warn those who in
tend to make displays that they must
choose their position at once, II at al.
The many new attractions of the Ex-
position have been so thoroughly adj
vertised all over the country that the
managers expect ten times as many
people as came last year, and all the
railway arrangements will be made
accordingly. The art galleries and the
exhibits of electrical wonders will be
especially alluring. Director Sousa,s
famous Marine Band Of Washington,
which for years has divided the honors
with Gilmore, will furnish the music,
beginning the first night Of the Elk
position. There viii be two great
pageants while the Exposition lasts,
the Yelled Prophets parade, and the
Columbia procession, and considering
the sight-seers these VIII draw, besides
those who come for the Expositicn
alone, the hotels and boarding house
keepers Of the city do not think they
are too sanguine in making their A.
rangements 70 accommodate half .
million people during the months of
Ssntenber and October.

MEASURING THE BABY.

We measured thu riotous baby
Against the cottage wall;
a lily grew on the threshold,
And the boy was just es tall;
with spots Of purple and gold,
And heart like jewcled chalice.
The fragrant dew to hold.
without, the bluebird whistled
High up in the old roof-trees,
And to and fro at the window
The red rose rocked her bees;
And the wee pink fists Of the baby
We're never q moment still,
Enatching at shine and shadow
That danced on the latt1ce-slI.
His ewes were wide as bluebells,
His mouth like flower unblown
Two little bare ieet. like funny white MICE
Peeped out from his snowy gown;
And we thought, with thrill of rapture
That yet had q touch Of pain,
When June rolls around with her Eoses'
Well measure the boy again.
All me! in darke 0ed chamber,
With the sunshine shut away,
Through the tears that fell like bitter raln'
We measured the boy to-day;
And the little bare feet, that were olInpieu
And sweet as budding rose,
Lay side by side together
In the hush of long repose.
On from the dainty pillow,
Wk.te as the risen dawn,
The fair little face lay smiling,
With the light of Heaven thereon;
And the dear little hands, like rose-lea'es
Dropped from rose, lay still,
Never TO snatch at the sunshine
That crept to the shrouded s1l
we measured the sleeping baby
With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket
That waited him below;
And out of the darkened chamber
We went with achildless moan
To The height OF the sinless angels
Our little one had grown.

KANSAS CHURCHES.

North Topeka item: The coiored
Baptist preachers of the state were In
quarterly session at Barkers church
last week.
The Rev. Dr.. A. B. MoCurdy, Of Fort
Scott, Kan, has accepted call to the
passionate of the First Baptist church OF
Beatrice, Neb.
Topeka Capital: The small storm
entrance to the east door of the Cen
trail Congregational church was blown
over during the high wind Sunday
night.
Atchison Champion: It is thought
that the work of decorating the in
terror of st. Benedict's church will be
finished by Easter. The work will cost
about $1,000. The frescoing is the
finest ever done in the city.

old parishioners to secure his services
again here.
The general condition Of st. Paurs
church at Kansas City is very much
improved since Rev. Howard took
charge of the work. He is earnest and
enthusiastic in his efforts and has exer-
cised rare Judgment in his management
of church matters. Bishop Thomas,
who sent him here, was greatly pleased
at the evidences of good and effective
work and predicted much good work
for the future.
Emporia Republican: The attend
ance at the First Congregational
church, both at morning and evening
services, was unusually large, the
church being filed to it's full capacity
on both occasions. Interest in church
meetings through the week is also being
manifest in a greater degree, and the
proposed series of Sabbath evening
lectures by the pastor is causing re-
vival of interest in church matters such
as has not been shown for some time
past.

Aaron nurr,a lnnuenes.

Within the memory Of middle aged
people, a woman died at great age
in one of the Middle States whose
recollections, had they been pub
lished, would doubtless have thrown
light on many obscure passages of our
early history. She was the daughter
of man eminent in the political
struggles of the first years of the Re-
public. One anecdote which she
often related, gave the details of a
dramatic chapter in the life of Aaron
Burr.
Miss Blank, then a beautiful girl of
16, went with her father to Rich
mond to witness the trial of Burr.
Her father was one of his prominent
political enemies, and she had been
taught to call Burr the arbitrator,
and to denounce him with the wrath
Of an ignorant child.
Burr was released on bail during
the trial. The daV after Miss Blanks
arriva, she received beautiful and
costly basket of flowers from him.
The next evening he called UPON her,
as he had done upon all the ladies at
the hotel.
So winning was his manner, 50 ap-
parenGly sincere his words, that Miss
Blank was led to believe IN his inno-
cence.
On the day Of trial. Burr's friends
and enemies took opposite sides of
the little courtroom. In her old age
Miss Blank confessed that, on enter
ing the courtroom, she dropped her
fathers arm, and seated herself
among Burr's friends. and" she
cried triumphantly, ''every woman
present-many of them the wives
and daughters of his opponents-was
upon that side of the courtroom.
Her triumph was short-lived. Her
father led her out Of the courtroom,
and it gives us significant insight
into the customs of the time to know
that he took her to her room, locked
her into it, and kept her there during
the trial.

ing for the safety of Aaron Burr. l
was not in love with the man. am
convinced now of his guilt Yet such
was the power of his gentle, sincere
manner, that to this day / feel its
charm"
Burr's wit, she often declared, was
as brilliant and harmless as sheet
lightning. A malignant word, even
against his foes, never passed his lips.
His ambition was a plague-spot that
tainted many sweet and kindly traits
in his character.

sERIous rACrs ABOUT BREAD
which Honsekeepers should Earnest-
" Consider.

~ Consider.
A serious danger menaces the health Oh
the people Of this country IN the numerous
alum baking powders that are now being
urged upon the public. :, .-..,
There is no question a. TO the desrimensAi
effects of these powders upon the syssem1;;
every hoard of health, every physician, VIII
tell Won of the unwholesome qualities they
they add to the food. Some countries nave
absolutely prohibited the sale OF bread con-
taining alum. L:,a
Even small doses of alum, gwen to child
rem, have produced fatal results, while cases
of heartburn, Indigestion, gripping consLpa-
ton. dyspepsia, and various kindred gastric
troubles from irritation of the mucous mem,
brane, caused by the continuous use OF iooo
prepared with the alum or alum phoSpnate
powders, are familiar in the practice OF eV-
cry physician.
1t is not possible that any prudent house
wife, any loving mother, will knowingly use
any article of food that will lnjpre the health
OF her household, or perhaps cause the oeatn
of her children.
How shall the dangerous alum powders be
distinguished? And how shall the danger to
health from their use be avoided!
Generally alum powders may be known
from the price at which they are soios OF or
from the fact that they are accompanied oy
a gift, or are disposed of under some scheme.
The alum powder costs but few cents
pound to make, and is often sold at ~ or %
cents pound. If some present Is given with
it, the price may be 30, 40 or 80 cents a
pound.
It is impossible to name all the alum pow
ders in the market, but any baking powder
sold at a low price, or advertised as costing
only half as much as cream of tartar pow
ders, or accompanied by a present, or dis
posed of under any scheme, Is OF tins class,
detrimental to health, and to be avoided.
But the easy, safe and certain protection
of our bread, biscuit and cake from all dam
ger of EMBELLISHMENTS 10 in the use of the
Royal Baking Powder only. This powder ID
mentioned because of the innumerabie re-
ports in its favor by high medical authori-
ties, by the q. s. Government and by the
official chemists and Boards of Health, which
leave no doubt as to its entire freedom from
alum, lime and ammonia, its absolute purl-
ty and wholesomeness. While its use is thus
safeguard against the poisonous alum pow
ders, it is satisfactory at the same time to
know that it makes the whitest, ightest,
sweetest and most delicious food, which will
keep moist and fresh longer, and that can
be eaten with immunity hot or cold, stale or
fresh. and also that owing to its greater
strength il is more economical than others.
These facts should incline consumers to
to turn deaf ear to all opportunities to buy
the inferior powders. If grocer urges the
sale of the cheap, impure alum brands, IL
should be borne in mind that it Is because
he can make more profit on them. The wise
housekeeper will decline in all cases to take
them.
Take no chances through using q doubtful
article schere so important matter as the
health or life of dear ones IS at stake.

KANSAS RAILROADS.

Atchison Champion: Twenty-Five
cars of merchandise, consigned by
Atchison merchants to points east and
west, we're received at the Missouri Pa
cifc freight depot in one day. The
Santa Fe and Rock Island are also
shipping more goods than for many
years past.
Emporia Republican,: The Santa Fe
is certainly under excellent manage
ment. Recently We ordered bill OF
goods from Chicago, several hundred
pounds, by freight. The bill by mail
and the goods by freight started at the
same time and the goods got here be-
fore the letter did. The freight beat
the mail. The same thing was nearly
repeated to-day on bill from Kansas
City. The freight got here as soon as
the letter did, and there was no delay
in the mail, either. The Santa Fe gets
there.
Atchison Champion: The employees
in the Missouri Pacific freight depot
have been up to their eyes in work for
several weeks, but just now they are
rushed more than ever. On an average
of fifty cars of freight are being loaded
and unloaded daily. The receipts all
consisted of shipments by Atchison
wholesale merchants and afford pretty
good idea of the amount of business the
wholesale merchants are doing. The
workmen at the Missouri Pacific depot
have been compelled to put in from ten
to twelve hours each day for more than
week. Spring trade has opened up in
much better shape than was expected,
and as consequence there ID rejoicing
all along the line.
