sound lawyer. His brother John re-
sides at North Vernon and has been
speaker of the house of representa-
tives of Indiana and chairman OF the
repu blican state central committee.
Mr.. Overmyer was raised democrat,
but before arriving at majority he be-
came a republican. On settling in
Kansas he found himself out of har-
mony with that party and joined the
little band of democrats AS he says,
returned to his fathers house." and
has for years worked increasingly for
the principles of that party. In 1884
he was elected to the Kansas 1egisla-
ture as an independent and anti
prohibitionist, where he made
record as orator, debater and parlia-
mentary gladiator, and an upright rep
resentative of the people. He assailed
prohibition with great energy and
worked against fearful odds in vain to
stem the tide of legislation then at it's
flood tide in Kansas. He has ever since
been regarded as the leader of the anti
prohibition element of the state, and
has omitted no opportunity to assail
and denounce that issue.
In 1889 Mr.. Overmyer was the demo-
cratic candidate for congressman in
the Fourth district. With no hope of
election he made a vigorous canvass,
polling several hundred more votes
than the democratic ticket. In 1891
Judge Frank Doster, the admitted in
tellectual leader of the radical popu-
lists of Kansas, made nota-
BILE speech, in which he advanced
the most ultra socialistic senti-
nents. going SO far as to declare that
1.-The owner of the property has no
right therein except that which is in
ferior to the user of it, To this Over
myer replied in a memorable speech
at Strong City, which competent critics
claim is the most complete and crush
ing answer to socialistic arguments
which has thus far appeared from the
political rOStrum

tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet

less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to

the value to health of the pure liquid

met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

Second Minority Report.
Nathan Cree offered the following
minority report:
I, the undersigned member of your commit
tee on resolutions. beg leave to dissent from so
much Of the report OF said committee as con-
dennis woman suffrage. and respectfully SUBJ
init the following resolution q minority re-
port on the same subject:
Resolved, That the pending amendment to
the constitution OF our state, comforting the
right to vote upon woman presents question
concerning a change in our fundamental law
upon which the democrats Of Kansas are

thereto is tenet of the democoatfc party OF
Kansas, and we further declare that the men,
bers of that party are free to vote upon said
amendment according to their judgments
touching its merits. NATHAN CREE.
The silver minority report was cham
pioned by S. A. Riggs, of Douglas, and
Gov. Click, and at 2 o'clock in the
morning, with may delegates absent,
was substituted for the majority re-
port, and as amended the platform was

Old Holland Songs.

Some of the old Dutch nursery
rhymes and songs brought to New York
by settlers of the early seventeenth
century are still in use among their de-
scendants here and among the kin left
behind in Holland. A New Yorker
travelling in Europe fell in with Hol-
lander and recited to him, as well as he
could recall it, Dutch lullaby long
used in the family of the American.
The Dutchman instantly recognized the
song as the lullaby he had heard in
childhood, furnished translation, and
was so delighted to meet one of his own
race from overseas that he insisted
that the American should pause in his
journey and visit the home of his chance
acquaintance.-N.Y Y. Sun

Curious Beliefs Concerning the Earthss
First InhaK tants.

Curious Beliefs Concerning the Earsh'S
First Inhak tants.
From Berosus, a learned Babylonian,
who wrote about the year 260 B. c., the
following curious account of creation
Is taken: SIN the beginning all was
darkness and water, and therein were
generated monstrous animals and men
OF strange and peculiar form Some of
these latter were menlike creatures
with two wings, and some even with
four. Some had one head and two
faces; others two heads with single
face between. Sometimes a single
body would have heads both of the
male and the female. Besides the
above there were men with heads and
horns like goats, men with hoofs like
horses. and some with the upper part
of man joined to the lower parts of
horse, like centaurs. Then there were
bulls with wings and human heads,
dogs with four bodies and with fishes
tails, men and horses with dogs heads,
creatures with heads and bodies like
horses, but with claws like lions and
tails like fish. Besides these there
were other monsters showing a mixture
of the forms of various beasts More
over there were monStrouS fish and rep
tiles and divers other creatures which
had borrowed something from each
others shapes; of all of which the like
nesses are still preserved in the temple
of Belus. A woman ruled all
these monsters and her name was
Omorlza, which is the same as Chaldee
Thalatth and the Greek Thalassa.
Then Belus appeared. He split the
woman in twain, and of one half OF her
he made the heavens and of the other
half the earth, and the monsters which
she had ruled he caused to perish
And he split the darkness ana divided
the heavens from the earth, and put
all the world in order. Belus then COM
manded one of the gods to cut off his
head and to mix the blood which
flowed forth with the earth, and to
form man and beast therefrom. So
man was made intelligent, and was a
partalxer of wisdom Likewise Belus
made the stars, the sun, the moon and
the planets. st. Louis Republic

serted that 1t is the most interesting map
ever published; and SO great was the de-
mand for the first edition that 100, 600 were
soon absorbed, but it has been re-issued for
the occasion of the K. of P. Encampment
at Washington in August, and viii be

THE HIGHLAND COSTUME.
How 1t Was introduced Among the Early
NorWegiRns.

How 1t Was introduced Among the Early
Norwegisns.
The first reference to Highland cos
tune occurs in the Saga of Magnus
Barefoot, King of Norway, 1093-1103,
written by Snorro Sturleson, who was
reared with the children of that mon
arch's daughter. Here it is stated that
Magnus and his men, on their return
from a marauding expedition to the
west of Scotland, brought with them
a great deal of the habits and fashions
of clothing of these western parts
They went about the streets with bare
legs, and had short kirt1es and over
cloals, and therefore his men called
him Magnus Barefoot or Bareleg."
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like a first reference
to actual tartans in the statutes of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide
that ''all ecclesiastics are to be suitably
appareled, avoiding red, green, and
striped clothing, and their garments
shall not be shorter than the middle of
the leg" But it should be noticed that
the word tartar" which occurs in the
ffteensh century, in the accounts of
the lord high treasurer of Scotland,
and which was regarded, by both Borth-
wick and Pinkerton, as meaning tartan,
really indicates, as pointed out by DIR.
Dickson, fabric of eastern origin, fire.
quently variant" or shot, the warp
and wool being of contrasting colors-
We find, however, a true reference to
tartan, in the same accounts, in the
following century; for in August, 1888,
there appears an entry for iii. elnis
of Heland tartane to be hoiss to the
l1ingis grace" these ''hoiss" or trews
being evidently intended to be worn
with Zane schort Heland colt" ac-
counted for under the same date
