Obituary.

At early morn of the 18th inst. the
spirit of Roy Settlemeyer winged its
flight to that Gland that is fairer than
day." For nine weeks he lay pa
tient sufferer, the first four with the
deadly typhoid, which left him too
weak to rally. To the knowledge OF
the writer there has not been i'm these
parts clearer case of death bed con-
version. Roy was shy and timid till
Gods spirit filled his heart, then he
was all courage and faith. Over a
week before death took him he bid
his parents and friends goodbye, en-
joining them to meet him in heaven.
And on till the eyes closed in death
his face is lit up with the smile of
heaven. AS the little wasted body
was borne to the grave the school
house flag hung at half mast and the
procession moved between two long
rows of scholars with their heads I'M
covered. Appropriate services were
held at the house and at the grave by
the writer.
The oldest daughter is down with
the typhoid. Mr.. and Mrs. Settle
myer have the sympathy of all the
community. s. M. IRWIN.

COL. JONES EXPLAINS IT.

The X. C. Journals Washington
correspondent asked Col. Jones how
it happened that he was not appoint
ed marshal and he explained as fol.
lows:
~ see now how it is. 1have looked
into the matter. The president did
the right thing. He is pressed for
votes on this Hawaiian matter and
the tariff bill and other matters. BY
appointing Nicely he gets the Kansas
PopulisU votes in the house, and the
PETER vote, or, at least, he is promised
that. Well, he has been made to be-
lieve that he would get them. Now.
/ hope he will, and whether he does
or not, we will tell better after they
vote. This is all the politics there is
to it, and fine place like United
States marshal of Kansas will buy
six Populist votes in Congress.
They are very cheap and he did the
right thing to make the appointment
as he did This is all the politics
there is to il and of course the other
matters we know about, and some of
it may be true, and, being Demo-
crat, am not saying that all of it is
true, but what l will attribute the
appointment to is that this place was
exchanged for six Populist votes in
Congress and that they were very
cheap, and don't blame the Presi-
dent one bit for the appointment. OF
course the reason that these Populist
members sold out so cheap was that
they wanted Nicely to fix up some fu-
sion for them in Kansas and return
them to Congress. This is their main
slice in the pie.
Well, we will just see how it will
work. / would like to see the color of
the POpulist's hair who will come to
Congress again from Kansas by reas-
on of Democratic vote. If the Popu-
lists will come out and be Democrats
against silver, just as We Democrats
are; if they will favor bond issue just
like We do, and if they will quit their
foolishness and then come along with
Secretary Morton and his reforms We
will associate with them, but we will
not vote for them as long as they
abuse our president. They must
come over to Us"

The Cigarette

A scientific writer in Hdrper's
Weekly has the following sound
sense abeut the cigarette habit that a
lot of boys about lola would do well
to read and ponder:
The use of cigarettes is not merely
the use of tobacco, it is vice by
itself. In reformatOries where the
cure of tho opium, alcohol, and cigar
cite habits IS business, cigarette pa
tients arc TO- restricted from smoking
cigars or pip :, which are regarded as
comparative harmless. The cigar
cite works u special evil of its own
which tobacco i'm other forms does not
effect. This evil result may be due
to drugs or to paper wrappers, or to
the fact that the smoke of cigarettes
is almost always inhaled into the
lungs, while cigar smoke is not. AS
to that, let the experts decide; about
the fact of the effect there is no doubt,
and no dearth of evidence. No, other
form of tobacco eats into the will as
cigarettes do. The adult man can
carry off good deal of poison of one
kind or another without disaster, and
his duties being fixed and his will
formed, he Is usually able to make his
minor vices subservient to his more
important obligations. And so it
happens that it is matter of constant
observation in clubs, and wherever
there are intelligent men who allow
themselves all the creature indulgen-
ces that they dare, that these exper-
fenced persons are constantly "swear-
ing OFF, cigarettes for longer or short
or periods, and smoking cigars instead.
The cigarette fetter begins to gall,
and they fling it off. But young boys
do not do that. They have not dis
erection enough, for one thing, and, for
another, cigars cost too much for
them, and cannot be smoked surrep-
titiOusly in spare moment. 1t is tho
Internal cheapness of the cigarette
and its adaptabilily for concealment
that tempt the. school boys.callow in
telligence.
