The Accidents Reported From About the
City Yesterday.
Ada Schelfier, the little daughter,
aged five years, Of the Widow Scheiller,
of South Eoff street, got bad fall yes
terday about noon. IL is rather strange
that the child was not killed, a: she
fell down twenty-five steps, alighting
on her head. The child was playing at
the top of the long stairway, and, miss
ing her footing, fell. The mother
rushed to her child and round her lying
at the foot of the steps. DR.. Ford was
called, and found the injuries not as
bad as feared A cash two inches long
and 80 the bone was cut in the child's
head, requiring several stitches.

WILL LOSE THEIR VOTES,

One very important question to citi-
zens of this state who contemplate G olng
to the strip has been overlooked. and
that is the effect that filing on a claim
or town lot down there will have upon
their citizenship in this state. 1t has
been asserted that they do not lose their
right to vote here until they actually
move to the land filed upon, but such is
not the case. The state supreme court
has ruled upon the question in a case
taken up from Comanche county, and
this is the decision:
A man who filed homestead claim on
land in Oklahoma territory, and made q
settlement and improvement thereon. in
aud after the month Of june, 1893, and in
tended to make said claim his home, and
who returned to his former residence in
Comanche county, in this state, for a
temporary purpose, intending to go back
TO his claim In Oklahoma, WAS not legal
voter at an election held in Comancne
county on the 9Th day of November. 1893

other European potentate issue such
high-handed order Of oppression as
that of Hoke Smiths booth job he wonld

devised except those carrying the death
penalty could entail the misery and suf-

that hundreds upon hundreds of families
should for more than year undergo all
the deprivations and hardships of camp
life on the border waiting Oh the tardy
action of congress and the still less eX-
cusable dllatoriness of the interior
department, but at the last hour the most
red tape is instituted and enforced upon
not only the long suffering settler, but
upon from enc to two hundred thousand
other citizens, all presumably as honest,
as patriotic and as wise as this egg
throwing Georgian. MIR. Smith surely
could have found some other plar for
helping his ''sooner" friends than his
booths and smart alec department
clerks. The outrages and blunders of
the interior department with reference
to the opening of those lands of the strip
ought to damn the entire administration

The old soldiers are given no advan-
tage in locating land in the strip over
any previous opening of pubic lands
to settlement, and those who depend
upon the flying report that a soldiers
filing will be given preference over
actual settlement upon claim. will be
sadly disappointed. The bill passed by
congress March 4th neither adds nor
takes from The law bearing on the ques-
ton of soldiers rights, but disposes of
the whole matter by the statement that
the ''rishts and privileges of the soldier
shall not be abridged" The only aivan-
tage soldier or sailor has over other
citizens is that he may make fling at

will be credited with the term of his

FACTS ABOUT HAY FEVER.
It and Kindred Distempers Are Not Pc
culiar to Any One Country.

It and Kindred Distempers Are Not Pc
culiar to Any One Country.
Hay fever has been more frequently
observed in England than in any other
country, but the apparent greater
prevalence of the affection in this
country as compared with others may
in some measure be probably due. says
writer on the subject in Hygiene, to
the attention which has been directed
to it by the writings of DIR. Bostock
and others. From different published
accounts it is evident that the disorder
is not at all uncommon in Germany,
Belgium, France and Switzerland, and
cases have also been recorded of hay
fever occurring in Italy, Austria, Rus
STA, Denmark and other European
countries. An analogous affection, at
tributed to the odor of the roses when
in bloom, is by no means uncommon in
some parts of the United States. where
rose trees are cultivated in large num-
bers. 1t is known by the names of
rose cold, rose catarrh, rose fever. 1t
has also been observed in England.
The sense of smell, like the other fac
ulties, is liable to undergo modifca-
ton or intensification ESQ to speak, at
times. Everyone is aware how pain
fully acute the senses, especially those
of hearing and seeing, become dur
ing exhausting illness and in certain
nervous conditions, and the faculty
of smelling is singularly subject
to varia ton, both in disease and
health. Numerous well-authenticated
cases have been recorded of individu-
ais, evidently in the enjoyment of good
health, who have been suddenly affect
ed by the smell of some flower or ami
NAL Some persons cannot bear the
scent of particular flowers, such as, fox
instance, roses and geraniums; and an
anecdote is told of a distinguished
general who, although he had gone
through many campaigns with great
bravery, always turned pale and faint
ed at the smell of roses suddenly held
before him. Others, again, are visibly
disturbed and annoyed by the smell Of
different animals. DIR. Carpenter re-
lates, in his principles of Human
Physiology" the case of blind gen.
tleman who could always tell by his
sense of smell whenever cat came

quently observed in rural districts than
in towns and in the suburbs than in
the central parts of large cities, and it
is also more common in localities
where grass Is chiefly grown than
those in which wheat crops are princi-
pally cultivated or which are situated
near 20 the seacoast- Although hay
fever is generally observed in rural
districts it does not follow, as some
writer's have advanced. that residents
in large towns are altogether exempt
from its attacks. The writer has seen
the affection on many occasions in per
sons living in London-in Portland

Thames street, City road, Houndsditeh, |

ty and municipal indebtedness in 1890
was about s999. 600, 000-nearly $780,
600, 900 more than the bonded debt Of
the United States. Of this vast amount
about $S46, 900, 600 was upon municipal
tiles and s144, 1000, 600 upon counties. It
has been frequently said that Ohio
heads the list of the states in the
amount of local Indebtedness. The
census figures of 1890 do not confirm
this assertion. The county and munich
pal Indebtedness of Ohio in the census
year was little more than sos 1000, 900,
of which $50, 900, 900 rested upon munic-
qualities. Pennsylvania had S91, 000,-
600 of local debts, Massachusetts, $780,
100000 and New York S244, O00, 600. II
the local bonded Indebtedness of the
various states was disappearing as
rapidly as is the debt of the United
States, there would be ample cause
for congratulation. But it has been
fast increasing for many years, and in
the proceedings of the legislatures
that recently adjourned there was
nothing to show that the reckless dis
position for heaping up local burdens
has abated.

WELL, wHEREFOREa

It has been good while since the Wich-
ifa EAGLE has claimed the outbreak OF
Popuiism as ''The Murdoch rebellion. -
Leavenworth Times.
The EAGLE in its rebellion" made
many points that were afterwards en-
bodied and utilized by the Populist
party, much to our chagrin, we admit.
but the points were none the less well
taken, aud we have yet to repent of
Murdock's rebellion. Our whole object
was to save our party, in the state. The
men who had made the state and sus-
tanned the party had come to be entirely
siby run in the name of the Republican
party, both state and party
were dominated by a set Of
ringsters who only secured sue
cess for themselves by continued
pretense and playing into the hands of
cranks. The wiping out of the $4,000
majority, the defeat of the party, and the
RELOCATION to private life of every man
in high place. all came exactly to pass as
we predicted. Plumb escaped by dying.
The Republican party could only have
won, in this state, last fall, by the nomi-
nation of liberal man for governor on
the national Republican platform; still
of the Republican editors and
politicians of Kansas have not come yet
to understand that fact, nor ever will.

mines. During the same time A-ueri-

KANSAS CALAMITY IN CHICAGO.
From the Topeka Capital


The only dscreditable feature Of Kan
sas day at the worlds fair is the effort
of the administration to use it as the
new party uses the Fourth of July and
Decoration Day, as partisan rallying
day. We see that Jerry Simpson, PETER,
Governor Lewelling and his daughter,
Mrs. Lease and her daughter. john Da-
Wis, jeff Hudson, Mrs. Diggs and pretty
nearly the entire calamity chorus will
fill the vocal numbers or the program.
If there is any place where calamity
ought TO hang Its head and take back
its calumnies on the progress of the
country it is the worlds fair. But the
Populist orators and eiocutionlsts are
ike the wicked as Described by the
Psalmi-t. 75d chapter, 9th verse: ''They
set their mouth against the heavens and
