"For an entire year, it has been per-
ceptible to the close observer OF passing
events that the Democratic party was
marching through slaughter-house and
yesterday it seems to have stepped into
the open grave that yawned to receive
it There is little likelihood that il will
be resurrected thence until ii has had a
new birth OF integrity and courage and
thorough reorganization. To this COM
plexion has less than two years OF IN
capable leadership reduced great army
and noble cause that, upon lines Of
conviction, swept the country in 1890
and 1892.
"rhe victory Of the Republicans has
been so far-reaching and complete as to
sink mere personal incidents and local
influences quite out OF sight. There will
be special tale to tell to account for a
particular defeat here and there; and for
the reduction OF this or that majority
but the Democratic collapse is too uni
versal to be ascribed to anything other
than universal and profound dissatisfac-
ton. Never in the history OF the coun-
try have the people been so disappointed
In work Of their own doing, and never
before did they make such haste to undo
it. With some the object OF distrust has
been the administration--with others
the congress all, the party organi-
zation wherever it showed itself.
"rhe industrial panic was succeeded
by political panic, and panics OF all
sorts are unreasioning. They can only
be met and turned by quick, resolute

dispatch from Jefferson City, No,

dispatch seems to imply two things
that Mr. Harlan is usually drunk, and
that If he had been in that condition
at the time Of the murder he would
have been held innocent of all wrong
doing, They must have an original
system of justice at Jefferson City.

Care of the Hair.

A fine head Of hair is within the
reach of almost any woman by the
use of most ordinary and simple
means Here are some useful sug.
gestons:
When the hair has been neglected
cut it to an even length and wash
the scalp nightly with soft water into
which ammonia has been poured.
This may he strong as possible at
first, so that it does not burn the
skin. Afterward the proportion may
be three large sDoonfuls of ammonia
to a basin of water Apply with a
brush, stirring the hair well while
the head is partially immersed
A healthy system will supply oil
enough for the hair if the head is
kept clean. If the scalp is naturally
dry mixture OF hall an ounce of
carbonate Of ammonia in a pint Of
sweet oil makes the most esteemed
hair invigorator
Glycerine and ammonia make a del
icate dressing for the hair, and will
not soil the incest bonnet
Pomades Of all kinds are voted vul-
gar, and justly. The only excuse for
their use is just before entering sea
bath, when a thorough oiling of the
hair prevents injury from salt water.
1t should be speedily washed off with
dilution Of ammonia
When growth Of young hair is
established it ought to lengthen at
least eight inches year in vigor-
GUS subject. Hair is an index OF
vitality
A lady of fashion decreed 100
strokes of the brush to be given her
celebrated locks daily, auu those who
have tried the experiment find that
it is not at all too much. Given
quickly, this number occupies three
minutes in beStowing, and surely
this is little enough time to give a
fine head of hair.
Once a month the ends of the
hair should be cut to remove the
forked ends, which stop its growth.
The best remedy for ill-used tresses
is strict care; glossy vitalized tresses,
kept in order by constant brushing,
assume by degrees better color.

sending other states over $1,O00,000 AZ
year for eggs and table poultry, but the
people OF the state are steadily awaking
to the fact that il is really cheaper to,
pay a higher price for home raised eggs
and fowls than for inferior imported
eggs and poultry. Near the cities, poul-
try farmers get from private customers
as high as % cents dozen the year
round, and from 10 to Is cents more
than the average store price for fowl.
PRICE OF LAND.
From the foregoing it will DO seen
that small farms, say OF about 40 acres,
thoroughly cultivated, devoted to dairy
ing, hogs poultry, fruit and market
gardening, have home market for their
products. The present Colorado farms
usually run in size from 80 to 800, or
even a greater number OF acres, and
many are now ready for subdivision,
but small farms can frequently be pur-
chased, leased or rented. The price va
ries according to proximity to city and
railroad, ranging over 5000 down to 500
per acre, including water rights.
AN EVER INCREASING MARKET.
The recent marvellous development OF
gold mining in Colorado, with its even
more wonderfully certain future; the
vast coal fields and equally vast iron and
other mineral deposits OF Colorado; to-
gether with the certain great manufac-
turing futures Of Denver and Pueblo, in
addition to the steady influx Of popula-
ton, all guarantee an ever increasing
Colorado market for farm products, and
there is no reason whatever why they
should be imported from other states.

The lola Register SAYS that the wav
in which farms are changing hands
this spring begins TO look like old times.
All our real estate agents report
livlier inquiry for land than there has
been for years, and most of our CORES
pondents report numerous transfera
Out at Moran, for example, the Martin
farm, the Armstrong place, the Mo
Naught place, the Leo half section and
others have been sold within the past
week or two, and nearly as many changes
are reported from other localities.
The Pratt county board Of commits
sioners realize the fact that the wheat
crop in the greater part of tx county
will be extremely light, and in a good
portion OF it there will be no wheat
raised at all. The only hope is in the
spring crops of oats and corn. The farm
ers are without feed for their stock, and
the stock is in no condition to do tho
spring work. They have no money for
the purpose OF either feed or seed for
spring planting and the commissioners
are now considering the advisability of
loaning enough of the county funds to
farmers to enable them to put in a crop
There is no law that gives the board
power to take any such action, but un-
der the circumstances in which the peo-
pie of this county are placed, with several
thousand dollars Of idle county money,
the board feel that it would be for the best
interests Of the county, generally, il they
could assist the farmers in the manner
indicated, They would be in favor Of
loaning the necessary amount to each
farmer to enable them TO buy feed for
their teams and seed for their spring
planting, taking good security for the
loan and charging low rate of interest

INVENTIVE genius has not stopped
with the pneumatic tire on the sulky
and bicycle, but has been busy with
the work Of perfecting ball bearings
with such success that q few days
since astreet car, which was equipped
with the latest inventions in ball
bearings, that would do away almost
entirely with friction, was drawn a
distance Of several hundred feet by u
single man Juggling gently at three
strands of ordinary sewlng-thread at
tached to the car. Perhaps a more
interesting experiment was that of u
carriage manufacturer, who put an
other style Of ball bearings upon the
wheels Of large coach, to which
four horses were ordinarily hitched.
Then he took a trained dog, and har-
messed and hitChcd him to the pole,
when the dog drew the huge coach
easily around the yard, This sounds
like fancy, but 1t is a fact.

STOCK AND FARM.

The farmers about Fort Scott say
the ground never was in better condi-
tion for working at this time Of the
year. There has been just enough rain
and now the weather is excellent for
farm work. Most of the farmers have
their oats sowed, and some have begun
to plant corn. 1t has been the expert
ence of the Oldest farmers there that
when they can get their corn planted
by the last of March or the first of
April, they invariably have good crops.
Hon. Fred. Wellhouse, the noted fruit
grower who lives in Leavenworth county,
has just finished planting new orchard Of
27O acres on which he placed $4,000 APP
pie trees The varieties set out werp
twenty-five acres in Jonathans, seventy
five acres Ben Davis, and the remaining
40 acres in Gano, a new and very pop
ular apple. The trees were planted in
straight rows sixteen by thirty-two feet
apart. The rows were marked out by
deep blowing both ways Of the orchard.
They were then set and some dirt
stamped around the roots, after which
they were plowed up to on the sides. The
trees were raised by Mr.. Wellhouse, and
they were out of the ground but ten to
twenty minutes. They, therefore, had
no time to dry at the roots. A force Of
thirty men was used to do the planting,
which took only three days for the en-
tire $4,000 trees. Mr.. Wellhouse is said
to be the largest apple grower in the
world. He has about LOO acres out in
orchards in this state, and considers it
one Ot the best for apple growing in tho
union.
LaCrosse Clarion: S. @. Walker has
shipped $1,000 worth of eggs in the
past four months. The poultry of this
county brings in about $4,000 year.
A Pittsburg man says: The cold
spell here is not so severe as to discour-
age the farmers, who are actively en-
gagged in making preparations for their
spring work. Quite large acreage of
winter wheat was sown, which looks we'll
and promises good yield. A larger
acreage of corn and oats will be put in
this spring than usual, the ground being
in better condition than usual to re-
ceiYe it.

Mr.. WALTER BEsANT, during his
stay in America, learned a fact or
two concerning the odoriferous onion,
which ne has recently made public
for the benefit of English girls in
general and ugly English girls in par
ticular. "If ugly girls" he remarks,
will eat onions, they won't be ugly
any longer. Ugliness is often the re-
suit of bad health alone. Health is
beautiful and onions are health
giving" They brighten the complex
ion, and consequently tighten the

THE State of Florida Is now
thanks to the decision of Jackson
vile jury-the promised land of the
prize fighters Thumper Corbett has
been acquitted of engaging in a
fight by previous arrangement" with
Thumper Mitchell. The encounter
was purely accidental. That is, Mr..
Corbett, happening to stray into a
pavilion where several thousand peo-
pie were assembled, CHANGED to en-
counter Mr.. Mitchell, who was wan
derlng aimlessly about, clad in pink
trunks and fighting shoes, and fell
upon him and beat him. That is the
nominal sense of the verdict or
course everyone will know its real
meaning. The people of Jacksonville
made some money by reason of the
crowds that nocked thither to see the
fight. They have hopes of getting
more fights and consequently more
money in the future. Therefore they
are willing to make justice farce,
and dozen of them have shown
their willingness to perjure them
selves in order that prize fighters
may not be frightened away by the
courts The Jacksonvillians are a
frugal and thrifty race. They will
manage to make ends meet if the
general public continues to patronize
the ring.

How DESPERATE a man becomes
when he is hungry and cold is we'll
shown by the recent situation in
Pittsburg. Because of the great de-
mand for work there at 81 q day, the
City Employment Committee issued
an order that only married men
should be employed. The unmarried
men were allowed to starve and
free2e-not we suppose, on account
of any prejudice against celibacy in
the minds Of the officials, but for the
reason thatat least two persons would
subsist on the proceeds Of every dol
lar. Now mark the result: Without
the slightest hesitation every indi-
gent bachelor in Pittsburg grasped
the matrimonial horn of the dilemma
and unfaltering made haste to pro-
cure a wife. Even wedlock seemed
better than starvation to those dis
tractcd men; bravely they sought
and courageously endured it. But
their courage was as nothing to the
courage, yes, the heroism, of the
women who consented to marry them
The women probably were neither
freezing nor starving. 1t was not
suffering that scourged them into
The yoke. They bowed their heads
to the yoke because they knew they
owed a duty to society, and with the
spiritof a Jeanne dare were resolved
to perform it, cost them what it
might. Who, after this, can say the
age is degenerate? Who, after this,
can say we have no heroes-and no
heroines?
