Tell 'em am asleep and don't want to
be disturbed"
The above IS said to be the laconic reply
received by the Populists of this city yes
terday from Henry Watterson, the orator
and journalist of Kentucky. They sent
for him to Winfield, where he spoke yes
terdsy, to speak 81 the auditorium here
last night at the ratification meeting.
The response of Nh. W atterson was re-
ceived with chilling effect and many of
the Populists kicked themselves pretty
hard for being so flip as to ask Dem ocrat
to address them anyway. They had a
kind OF an idea. evidently, that a Ken
lucky Democrat was like the Kansas
variety-a kind of milk and water species
but they know better now
Well the ratification of the Populiss
ticket was as great fizzle as one could well
imagine. 1t was a worse fzzle than the
storming of the capital at Washington by
that great Populist statesman General
Coxey.
Long after the hour announced for the
comm encement of The exercises a solemn
stiffness prevailed with the exception of an
occasional outburst by the band TO keep
up the courage of the few faithful who
were present.
They were scattered in groups around
the large auditorium hall, something bear
ing the same proportion TO the vacant
space about them that the Sandwich
Islands do TO the Pacific ocean. Even the
lights burned dimly, thus giving the affair
a further depressing effect. Most of the
attendance were young sweet sixteeners,
who came in to see the handsome band
bows and to criticise their looks.
l. p. Campbell, Asa Fisher, Colonel Bird
and Pat Healy held whispered converse
tious and il was easy to interpret the sad
ness indicated in their downcast counten-
aDces.
The trouble was that no speakere were
present, all of those who were engaged
having failed to show up. Among those
expected were Governor Lewelling, Elder
Boikin and the Rev. Anua Shaw
When /. =. Campbell mounted the plat
form and looked at the crowd before him,
only about $50, he looked sad. He read a
telegram from Governor Lewelling an
nouncing the fact that he could not be
present, and among other things he said:
The state is on fire and Sedgwick county,
hope, will do her duty"
This was 3 painful expression consider
ing the size of the crowd present. 1t
caused quite laugh which was the only
sign of life manifested by the audience.
Mr.. Campbell spoke himself followed by
his partner Mr.. Sankey and after another
local political oracle had spoken the meet.
ing adjourned. With a heavy heart one man
remarking as he went out the door "All
this is the result of that woman's suffrage
plank. knew it would kill US"

FOOLISH VIRGINS.
Girls Make Themselves Sick Prepa-
ing for the Wedding Day.

Girls Make Themselves Sick Prepa-
ing for the Wedding Day.
Every expectant bride wishes to look her
very best on her wedding day. 1t is the red
letter day of her life, the day, when, how
ever Insignificant she may be, she is by uni
versal consent of paramount Importance, the
observed of all observers. Beside her bridal
splendor the groom sinks into mere neces-
sary appendage.
A girl would give or do or endure any
thing for the sake of looking her sweetest
and prettist on the day which ends her
maidenhood and promotes her into matron,
except-and the exception is so easy, too, a
mere negation-to avoid over fatigue and
anxiety in her preparations.
Many girl sews herself sick in her deter
mination to have her regulation dozens of
lingerie, and to possess gowns of every con-
ceivable shape and color. She thriftily
reckons that she can have twice as many by
making them herself or by sewing with
twice the nervous energy of paid seam
stress with her home dressmaker. So she
has the gowns at the expense of her color
and roundness and nerves, and goes to the
altar pale and worn, and often with an un-
comfortable tendency to nervous irritation,
which promises i'll for the beginning of her
welded life.
Now and then bride is sensible enough
to reflect that, fashion being as unstable as
an April day, it is really more satisfactory
to get her gowns few at time as she needs
them, and that her utmost physical vigor
and mental serenity are more to be desired
at this important epoch of her life than
much purple and fine inen.-Neto York
Journal.

DANGERS OF BAD WATER.

If we take England alone, more deaths
are attributed to impure water than to
pure, impure and adulterated spirits and all
coholc drinks altogether, and the diseases
from which the miserable victims die are
as hideous and repulsive as those caused by
drink. Five and twenty years ago, during
a most fatal epidemic of typhoid in the West
of England, l had to assist the Government
Inspector in tracing its cause to its source,
and the result was most conclusively estab-
llshed as due to impure water. The supply
of water as it entered the town was pure,
but in many houses the water closets were
supplied by the same pipe and cistern as the
water for drinking purposes As the water
was turned off during the night to prevent
waste, the pipes emptied and subsequently
became filed with air poisoned by the foul
gases from the closets, and when the town
water was turned on in the morning it rapid
ly absorbed the poisonous air in the pipes.
The outcome was that these houses supplied
from this source were decimated by an epi-
demic of typhoid. In those cases where the
inhabitants got their water from wells it
was found that they escaped, unless as in
many instances, they secured milk from the
shops supplied by the tainted water. The
whole problem worked out like q sum in
arithmetic Gcatiemdn's Magazine.
