STOCK AND FARM.

Albert Berry, Of Chase county, has
1000 head OF cattle in his pastures on
School creek, and expects as many
more.
The Neosho river is again within its
banks. The food which has just sub
sided destroyed about half the corn and
wheat on the bottom land along that
river.
The strike, which prevents the ship
ment Of cattle to Chicago, is greatly in
creasing the receipts at Kansas City,
Kan. Before 5 p M, on July 6, 1862
head we're received.
Strong CITY special: Cholera is cpl
demic among the hogs in this section
of the country, scarcely head being

of Clover Cliff farm, is the heaviest loser
so far, having lost about $4,000 worth.

MANY reputable people will ques-
tion the logic of the Chicago Herald
in its comment upon the killing Of
Archibald McKillip by Calvin f.
Keatley. If the same line Of reason
ing be followed to its legitimate con-
clusion, the wrongs Of Keatley's
daughter would never have been ex-
plated by the legal punishment Of
McKillip, for to secure such punish
ishment in the courts would have
given the matter no less Of publicity
than did the tragic denouement.
The Herald says at is not worth
while to morallZe upon the killing Of
Archibald McKillip by Calvin f,
Keatley. Public opinion always has
justified and probably always will
justify homicides Of this kind--cov-
ertly If not openly. From common
sense rather than sentimental
standpoint, however, Keatley has
done the very thing that he should
not have done. He has made a pub
lie scandal Of a family disgrace that
would otherwise have been forgotten
soon II it had ever become known at
all. He has pilloried the young wom-
an whom he sought to avenge, he
has brought suffering and shame upon
those dearest to him and trouble and
expense upon himself. In this as in
all similar cases murder is mistake,
not alone morally but from the low
standpoint Of expediency." True, as
to the murder. But in its squeamish
terror of publicity would the Herald
have foregone all measures against
McKillip, leaving the despicable
skunk TO practice his lecbery unhin-

cy percale shirt, with white collar,
is affected. Polka dots, hair-line
stripes and solid colors are correct in
these ties. Those of the new white
washable silk are easily ti1d, hold
their shape and save mental wear

butterfly form have been the rage for
some time, but the straighs-edge fin
ish is the ruling passion in hand-tied
bows to-day.
A late attempt to connect extreme
dullness with positive gayety is a
black satin scarf with a bright-red
lining. The chappie of the period
ties the affair in simple sailor knot,
but manages to let one Of the aprons,
as the ends Of the scarf are called,
turn around just a little so that just
a suggestion Of the flaming red satin
is seen. There is no telling to what
extent these brilliant-hued Innings
may be carried. No. 2 is a puzzling
style when on, for the beholder can't
imagine how the wearer produces the
broad effect which appears at the
rear Of the main apron. This style

ABOUT once year some one hobs
up with a new design for a postage
stamp. This time it is Washing
ton newspaper man who comes to the
front with a suggestion that the ma
tlonal flag would be patriotic and
appropriate blazon. He says there
are out-of-the-way parts of the coun-
try where people may be found who
have never seen the flag and have no
idea what it looks like, and he would
remedy this state of affairs by having
every letter carry the stars and
stripes. 1t may be doubted whether
people so benighted that they have
never seen the American flag would
ever receive letters, or if they did
that they would have any idea what
the stamp represented. But any
thing that promises a change from
the present inartistic stamp designs
should be welcomed, and the flag idea
is perhaps as good as any.

WE are glad to see several Of our
esteemed contemporaries condemning
the bicycle stoop"-that absurd, I'M
healthful and hideous practice where
by large proportion of bicycle riders
convert themselves into hunchbacks
when riding their machines. The
general reprobation of this detestable
habit ought to bring about the re-
formation which Is so urgently
needed There never has been any
justification whatever for the stoop-
shouldered bicyclist on the public
highways. The only time when it is
permissible for a bicycle rider to con.
vert himself into an unsightly in
terrogation point is when he is en-
gagged in hot race on the track and
needs to utilize every particle Of
muscular force at his command.
| Under such circumstances the
practice may be excused although it
can never be healthful or graceful.
But it is as senseless for free and
independent American citizen out
for pleasure spin on wheel to
adopt the awkward racing seat, as it
would be for a horseback rider out
for canter to appear in the habili-
ments and attitude of a professional
jockey. If our enthusiastic wheel
men do not care for their health they
should be taught, by universal
rldicule, to sit up straight and cease
perverting themselves into carl
catures of humanity. The attitude
Of young man on bicycle, sitting
erect, with handle bar well raised
and maintaining perfect control OF
his machine, is that Of a gentleman.
The same rider, with handle bal
dropped, backbone curved and nose
in apparent danger Of abrasion from
the tire of his front wheel, bears &
striking resemblance to monkey
astride stick. Self-respecting anC
intelligent young Americans cam
afford to initiate monkeys.

twill silks, punches up artistically in
pongee and China weaves, and looks
provokingly cool in lawns and other
midsummer fabrics. A popular form
in the negligee bow class Of neckwear
is shown in cut No. 3. An ideal
summer tie is a Windsor bow of thin
silk. 1t does not hold its shape like
the cravat of starched lawn, but it
is infinitely cooler. Turned-down
starched collars will be generally
worn this summer, so that the shield
bows will be found useful. The
shield bow is not an article of fash
ion, yet is extremely convenient.
The four-in-hand of the graduated

the long scarf for stylish semi-dress.

AMONG KANSAS CHURCH PEG
PIE.

The Salvation army proposes to build
tabernacle in Wichita at once.
Chanute citizens want the county
commissioners to offer a reward Of $3.50
for the arrest and conviction Of the par
ty or parties that set the M, E. church
on fire in that city the other day. The
city council Of Chanute has offered re-
ward Of $3.50 for the arrest and convic-
ton Of said parties, and the good peo-
pie of Chanute are very DESTROYS that
the commissioners offer like reward,
believing that $500 reward will enlist
the services of a first class detective and
result in the arrest of the guilty par
ties.
Rev. W. Fl. Irwin, whose home is in
Lawrence, and who has been conductin &
revival meeting at Linwood for several
weeks past, tells very thrilling story.
One of the children playing about the
tabernacle in which Mr.. Irwin was
preaching found big bomb secreted
beneath a bush near by. This bomb, on
examination, was found to consist Of
light sheet iron, was about four inches
in diameter, and two feet four inches
in length aud filed with eight pounds
of the best blasting powder and small
pebbles and stones. Two fuses entered
the pipe just opposite each other, one Of
which had been lighted but went out
before reaching the bomb. Mr.. Irwin
says that the only reason he can see fol
such action is tho fact that he has beer

idea Of train stealing and against whis
ky selling, and it is thought the bomt
was intended to destroy the tent and in
iure the people while the meeting was

The "Authority" Ruled out.

Mr.. Dan Wilson, an American law
yer was once prosecuting a case be-
fore Missouri justice of the peace,
when the opposing counsel cited
"Greenleaf on Evidence" so decidedly
against him that bold effort had to
be made. Wilson asked him for the
book, opened it, rose, and, with
look of solemn surprise, said he was
amazed that so good lawyer should
bring such a book as that into court.
"Why," said he, "the author himself
never thought of its being used for
an authority in any case. Just hear
what he says in the preface, Doubt

ciples might be made, and the work
might have been much better execut-
ed by another hand. For, now it is
finished, l find it but an approxima-
tion towards what was originally de-
sired. But, in the hope that it may
still be found not useless as the germ
of a better treatise, it is submitted
to the candor of liberal profession.
Now" continued Wilson, "an author
who admits that his work is as bad
as this certainly never expected it to
be brought into court to govern the
opinions of a gentleman who has sat
on the bench, as your Honor has, for
eighteen months" The justice was
perfectly satisfied. He ruled the

whatever, and gave his judgment foE
