San Francisco, there awaiting further
instrctiuOnS -

McQuestin's Post is station of the
Alaska Fur Company, at the head of
the Yukon river, where the mercury
is frozen about eight months in the
year, and where the temperature is
estimated, during most of the winter,
to be about seventy degrees below
zero. Fred will stay there till April,
1894, when he will cross overland to
Rampant House. This will be the
most difficult and dangerous part of
the journey. The trip will be taken
by dog sledges over the snow and it
is thought it may be made in 20 days,
although no white man has ever at
tempted it. Arriving safely at RAM
part House the remaining part of the
journey will be a pleasant jaunt of
1900 miles in birch bark canoe down
the POrcupine and Yukon rivers, and
40 miles in a similar vessel across the
open sea to st. Michaels, another fur
trading post in the Arctic ocean.
The chief object of the expedition is
to collect specimens of the flora of the
region traversed, but incidentally
the topography of the country, the
temperature, humidity and other
physical features will be carefully
noted. 1t is great big lonesome trip
he goes entirely alone-and man
of less experience, less endurance and
less courage than Fred Funston might
well shrink from undertaking it. In
deed men who have plenty of exper-
fence and nerve, who have taken part
of this journey, have told Fred that
$4,000 would not tempt them to go
with him. And it is certainly a great
distinction for a mere boy to have
been chosen for so arduous and haz-
ardous a task. 1t is an expedition
that will attract the attention ofscien-
tific men the world over, and if sue
cessfully accomplished it will make
Fred Funston famous. And that it
will be successful we do not in the
least doubt. 1t will take a good
stomach and good heart and sound
lungs, and plenty of discretion and
sand and nerve and pluck, but Fred
has all of these tO.sell. We bid him
goodbye and God speed to day with
every confidence that some September
day in 1894 he will swing open our
office door and say ''Hello.", as jaunty
and light as if he had only been gone
around the corner for an hour. It's a
way he has. God go with him and
bless him and keep him from all
harm!

Obituary..

DIED: At Osawatomie, Kansas,
March 10, 1898, Samuel Whitaker, in
the 56th year of his age.
The deceased was born in COshOc-
ton county, o., October 1, 1886, and
was reared on a farm. In 1881 he
went to Illinois and enlisted as a pri-
vate in Co. c., Second H., Cavalry.
He served to the end of the war,
coming out with the rank of Captain.
He engaged in the merchantile bust
ness in Havana, ILL.,, and continued
in it until l2years ago when he came to
Kansas, locating at Carlyle where he
has since lived. About two years
ago he received a sunstroke from
which he suffered severely and which
finally resulted in mental derange-
ment rendering necessary his confine-
ment in the asylum, so that death,
when it came was a welcome release.
The wife of the deceased died about
three years ago, but three children
remain to receive the sympathy of
friends. Capt. Whitaker was a
brother of Mr.. l.. Whitaker, of lola,
and was a brave soldier, a good citi-
zen and an honest man.
The remains were brought to lola
Tuesday and inferred under the aus
pices of McCook Post G.. 4. R., of
which the deceased was member.

takes as well as their correspondents. ] remem-
Der one time mentioned that some few chang

been a slur on those that moved out of the

THE cOn-fusionists are cOnfounded
Senator Martin went to the President
the other day with a list of Demo-
Pops. that he wanted appointed to
office in order that fusion might be
perpetuated. Mr.. Cleveland very
bluntly told him that he considered
the POpulist movement a menace to
good government and that he would
not encourage it, The Senator went
away sorrowful. On the same day
Kansas delegation waited upon the
Secretary of the Interior in the inter-
est of Mr.. Click, and was told en-
phatically that Click would not be
appointed, the reason, understood if
not expressed, being that he had Civ
en- too much aid and comfort to fusion.
And Brer Click is coming home sor-
rowful. If the new administration
persists in the policy which these in
cidents would seem to foreshadow,
the days of fusion in Kansas will be
few and full of trouble. \ combine

THEY seem to have had regular
old-fashioned Democratic time of it at
Washington on Inauguration day.
The New York Sun Dem reports it
as follows:
There was much disorder, and there
was drunkenness so general that even
some soldiers and many policemen
shared in it. 1t had been so cold that
men and many women yielded to the
temptation to take frequently of
liquor and the consequence was pitt
full. 1t was bad enough to see drunk
en- militiamen trailing the butts of
their guns in the mud as they stag
gered through the streets, but it was
worse to hear of distinguished public
men showing themselves in disgrace
full conditions on the reviewing stand
and it was a thousand times worse to
hear of the drunken women who
accompanied these men.

ONE of the Republican officials
whom the POpulists denounced with
particular bitterness was Frank H.
Betton, labor commissioner. He was
such a bad man that when the new
administration came in his head was
one of the first to fall into the basket,
and a good Populist by the name of
Todd was put in his place. MIR. Todd
was interviewed the other day, and
this is what he said:
"In making up the forthcoming re-
port ] shall take up Mr.. Bottoms
work where he left it and his plan
will be carried out to the letter. Mr.
Betton is an able gentleman and his
ideas are good as was shown by the
fact that although Kansas spends less
on her labor bureau than any other
state, one of his reports took the Sec
ond medal at the Paris exposition"
