The Editor In an 1ronical Mood.

The following is taken verbatim from woman's jouTnnl: .'After you. have bathed put on sufficient underelothing and do not arrange your stays too tight; then ee- lect dress out of which tho dust has been shaken and go to your breakfast" Such advice might not be out of place in an asy lum for feeble minded people, but it would hardly seem ft advice to give the public in general for woman under ordinary cir cumstances ought to know enough to put on her underclothing and dress and go to the table without being told. In another place it says: IA corset cover is simply matter of taste Very many women wear it, and very many do not" This will no doubt bc startling news to most people. The current supposition would be that women nre born in corset covers and never take them off.-Nokomis Free Press .SaZette

 Bill proved up all right and built nice little house on his claim. Just about this time deputy marshals were in demand, and Bill was pointed out as 'gamo'' man who would be likely to mako good one. So Bill Snow moved to town and began to wear high hceletl boots, drink liquor with the hoys dance with the girls at the danechouses and incidentally to serve some warrants for the United States marshal Over in tho Pottawatomie country he killed an Indian for whom he had warrant, and later on he had shooting match with a half breed Mexican over pretty girl.
 This latter affair came to the cars of Mollie, his wife, and sho concluded to fol- low Bill some night. By this time Bill had become so popular that he had spent the $l, 900 nest egg, sold his claim on the Canadian and was about through with tho proceeds of that. He had advanced from the stage where they call man game" and had become noted as kill CT. AS he remembered the dime novel days in Illinois he wished somo of his old chums could hear of his exploits, so he had a local writer give him "sendoff.'
 This newspaper notoricty stirred up other bad men with records, and Bill had to ddend his title with his pistol, with tho result that he killed man named Dennis over in tho Chickasaw country. When he returned to Oklahoma, he was more of hero than ever But his money was almost gone, and he had an extravagant girl on his hands, the former mistress of the Mexican whom he had |. killed Added to this, he went into poll tics and tried to be elected sheriff. His record us killer was not in his favor, and he was defeated by the better class of people.
 About this time his wifo, Mollie, follow ed him to a questionable house in company with man. friend of Bills. They

 They buried pretty, unfortunate Mollie Snow at Guthrie, o. T., few weeks ago, tho victim of arsenic administered by her own hand. Two weeks before that the Indian police killed and buried Bill Snow near Lenapah. Wild Bill, as Snow was called, was typical killer" of tho later day stripc-a dapper, well dressed, flashy looking young fellow, with jet black hair, big black eyes and adimc novel desire to bo considered bad man."
 When Oklahoma was opened up to set tlement in 1889, Bill and Mollie were posted in tho Cherokee strip ready to make tho run for a home, says a New York Times correspondent Bill had always been reader of dime novels, so when he reached Arkansas City and found that 1t was fashionable t0 wear q big six shooter he purchased 4l caibcr Colt and belt.

For weeks after this neither Bill nor Mollie could sleep well at night for thinking about that lonely grave on tho prairie but the men on tho border came to speak of Bill Snow with respect as a "dcad game" man whom it would bo well 10 let alone.
 In May, when the final rush for homes came Bill, Mollie and the pistol were in the front rank. Down upon the banks of tho Canadian river Bill drove his stakes, and when a couple of Texans came along and concluded to squat upon Bill's land he warned them off with his six shooter in his pistol hand. They were preparing to resist when a friend of theirs came along and said: Better let that fellow go easy. He's tho game chap that killed

It is Q curious fact that, whlo you can buy photographs of any place in Europe in nearly all the bookshops of New York, it is almost impossible 10 find views of tho. buildings in that city. I went up and down Broadway and Fifth avenue for miles the other day trying to find pictures of the prominent clubs and the palaces that have been built on Fifth avenue during the last two years, but nobody has them for sale, and nobody knew where l could get them, so I was compelled to hiro a photographer and have them taken.-New York Letter in Chicago Record

1uggernaut Many or. the early accounts of these self imposed atrocities in India were not believed at first in civilized coun tries, but travellers who have traverscd that part of the orient have corroborated even the heartrending descriptions of the three eminent tourists and scientists, the brothers Schlagintweit.
 5a,, ,Woldemar Friedrich of Leipsic, who has lately made a prolonged tour of India, during which he has gathered valuable data and made graphic sketches of the Nomads on and in the vicinity of the Clutch steppes, says that in the harbor city of Mandri fanaticism rcigns supreme. The Brahman religion has here twice us many representatives as the Mohammedan The disciples of one sect tic a gauzy cloth around mouth and nose to prevent any insect or particle of dust from entering their sacred bodies. Bnt most wonderful of all of Professor Friedrichs experiences was a saint he met in the neigaborhood who had made n solemn VOW never to sit or lie down for sleep or rest Rao had re- fused to grant him boon, therefore there was something in his life that kept him in disgrace with the divine powers, and he determined to propitiate his-tlcity with his martyrdom of a lifelong abstinence from sitting or lying. In order to be able 2 to keep his vow he has hecn compelled to construct a kind of hanging mat for his back and shoulders, in which he hangs the 1iyolong day rceiting his penitent chants and prayers Tbns he s!neps at night and in this position he must also cat and drink as he has grown too weak to either walk or stand.

FEEDING WHEAT TO STOCK.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The returns

estimated amount to be fed at 29, 273, :
900 bushels, making total of 75,3O3,

The figures on wheat feeding are
merely the meager estimates from those
states wherein correspondents have
complied with the requests of the de
partment and must not be taken as
anything more than an attempt at ap-
Proclamation of the total feeding OF
wheat from the present supply. The
severity and length Of the winter will
necessarily influence the final findings

Report of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. @
WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The interstate
commerce commission has transmitted
its eighth annual report to congress.
The report speaks of the unreasonable
freight rates from Chicago and Cincin-
natl to Southern points. Also of the
unreasonable rates on wheat. It refers
to the failure of many carriers to post
their tariffs as required by law. The
commission explains the necessity of
providing single classification of
freights for the whole country, saying
that experience has shown the neces-
sity for congressional action and sup
ports the belief that uniform classifca-
ton depends upon the passage Of a
statute requiring its accomplishment.
