morning, moderating to below at 8
o'clock.
Kansas City.-Dispatches from Kan
sas, Missouri and Oklahoma indicate that
the storm was very severe and the mer-
curry reached the lowest point known in
years. At Springfield, Mo-, the snow is
two feet deep, and this morning the mer-
curry recorded 16 degrees below zero.
All trains are delayed. The cold in Kan
sas is not as intense, and the snowfall
only averaged about two inches. This

16 degrees below throughout the state.
A tramp was found frozen to death eight
miles north of Pittsburg, Kas., this morn

cold weather most keenly.
Irving Hale's Prophesy.
Mr.. Irving Hale, well known to Santa

will be connected; in twenty years cleo
tricity will be in use ON most of the long
distance roads; within the life of the
present generation 15O miles an hour will

sILvER's DAY.
Growing Brighter = England Ia Rat
tied and India is In Bad Way.

New York, Jan. 24.The action of the
Indian council in London in announcing
that it could no longer maintain the Off
cial price of 1514 pence for council bills
and would henceforth dispose of the
paper on the best terms obtainable, was
rendered necessary by the unsettled con-
dition of trade and general business in
India brought about by the closing of
the India mints to the free coinage of
silver. Its immediate effect will be to
greatly depress the price of silver bull
lion, but ultimately it will lead to the
reopening of tho mints of India to free
silver coinage and will probably lead to
another international monetary con.
gress.
THAT CONFERENCE COMING.
The effect of the action of the Indian
council in receding from it's position is
already partly seen IN the sharp drop in
silver, both in London and in this city.
The council bills will now compete with
silver in the settlement of Indian balances
md this is almost certain to mean lower
prices for silver and lower rates for coun-
Gil bills.
During the past two or three days east
ern exchanges have been very weak and
rupee paper has fallen sharply in Lon
don. The effect of this last move on the
part of the Indian council will undoubt-
edly be to stimulate Indian export trade,
and may to some extent remedy the re-
cent disorganization of India's trade bal
ance. Taken in connection with recent
significant Developments in Europe, it
seems likely that the silver question will
soon come to the front again. This time,
however, the United States is more easily
situated among the spectators instead Of
being the one principally concerned,
whereas Great Britain, which in the last
monetary conference, was the most in
different of all nations concerned, is now
the nation most affected.
ENGLAND ALARMED.
London.-The Times says that while
the projectors of the India policy may
not have abandoned hope, their whole
scheme appears to be doomed. 1t is
more than likely that the mints will be
reopened sooner or later. 1t is now
evident that their policy could be made
effective by an import duty on silver,
but the government naturally shrank
therefrom because it would have ruined
India's export trade. The Indian gov
ernment will probably maintain its pres
ent attitude for short while longer, but
the best judges are of the opinion that it
will fail.
A Calcutta dispatch says trade will be
paralyzed till the result of to-day bidding
is known, and that the belief is becoming

absolutely prohibit the imports of silver
on private account. A Hong Kong re-
port says an e1haustive1 1Ianalysis Of
trade returns appears to prove India's
eastern exports must continue to dwin-
die if handicapped by silver duty or the
protection of the rupee.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg says
that a project has been presented to the
finance minister to replace the debased
pieces by new silver coinage.

The keeper laughingly says that In

he docs not think they have had one

lions were brought to the park and it
was thought advisable to put one Of
them with Major as his mate. When

Why Not.

The people Of south Finney have been
so often disappointed in the results OF
their labor, that they are seriously con-
sideriug the advisability of trying to ir-
rigate, and in has been suggested that
IvanhOe township or such portion as may
be deemed necessary be set apart under
the law as an Irrigation District. The
township is too thinly settled to make it
practical to reach the various farms from
any known water supply but it is believed
that a we'll could be sunk that would
furnish water for irrigating section or
more by going to the second stratum,
and the plan suggested is for all residents
of the township to move to section OF
school land or some desirable central
locality and form community. Put in
well, pumping plant and reservoir at
public expense and make arrangements
to stop and live at home. At least forty
acres should be reserved for reservoir,
park, school house, church etc. and from
this central community the settlement
could branch out and as needed the sup
ply of water could be Increased by adj
ditional wells and enlarged reservoir. If
the law is as to warrant a movement of
this kind, and some of our best attorneys
say it is, the effort can be made at COM
paratively small expense and in view of
the MANY disasters that our farmers have
met with the end would absolutely justify
the means and if successful in one i'll
stance it would be rapidly followed up
until the entire western portion of the
state would be dotted with similar COM
munities. The saving in school expense
alone by charging districts to conform
to the irrigation districts would in a year
or two repay the entire cost and farmers
would find themselves benefited in many
ways Garden City Seminal.

Saving Postage.

Patrick lived in New York, and his
parents still lived in the old country.
Patrick earned very little and had no
money to spare, but he desired to be
dutiful and generous son. One day
letter came to him from his father, in
which the old man said:
'.Me dear by. the times is hard in Ire
land. It's mesilf that am reduced, when
have occasion to appear in full dress,
to the necessity of goin' widout coat"
This pathetic appeal was too much
for Patrick. He at once took of his
own coat and prepared to send it to
Ireland. When he had got it all ready
he mailed it, and at the same time sent
this letter:
me dear fayther: send you by the
parcels post me own coat the day; but
to make it weigh the less for the post,
I've cut off the brass buttons.
Your dutiful son, Patrick.

them the solicitous fondness which
makes him keenly observant of them.
He feeds them all every day in the
week excepting Sundays. AS it is
found that animals are healthier when
they fast one day in the week Mr.. De
Vry decided not to feed them on Sun
day, as that enabled him to let his
helpers have at least a part of the day
to themselves. During the week they
are fed at four o'clock each afternoon,
and for half an hour before the keeper
appears with their food they devote
themselves to watching for his coming.
They move restlessly about their cages,
looking anxiously in the direction
from which he approaches. They never
mistake the time of day and never
fail to keep their watch save on Sun
day, when they show not even the
slightest signs of restlessness when
their usual feeding time approaches.
MIR. De Vry says that after the ami
mails have been in the park few
months they never make mistake as
to the day of the week.
A little observation demonstrates the
fact that animals are as individual as
are human beings, and that there is,
for example, as much difference among
lions as there is among human beings
of the same race. Among those who
are wise as to lions and can judge them
as certain men judge horses, Major,
the splendid male lion of the Lincoln
park collection, is considered one of
the finest of his kind in confinement
He certainly is a superb picture of
might, ferocity and courage, tempered
with dignity and grace. Whether or
not he reasons, he does many things
which would seem to indicate that he
does, and he certainly remembers and
is essentially faithful to his friends.
He was brought up on bottle by a
woman living in Chicago.
For months he had not seen her and
as every one knows who has visited the
animal house in Lincoln park there are
throngs of people about the cages from
early in the morning until late at night
every day liz the week. One day she
came to see him, and almost as soon
as she entered the door, and long
before she could get near his cage, he
saw her and rushed against the bars in
his anxiety to welcome her. When she
came close to his cage a glad child
could not have evidenced more affec-
tionate regard than did this magnifi-
cent, regal king of beasts.
Major is very fond of Mr.. De Vry and
his great amber eyes glow with pleas
ure every time he comes near him.
When he enters his cage, as he often
does, Major puts his wide, soft paw on
his shoulder and lays his big nose
against his cheek. Gentle and appar-
rently quite guileless as he is most Of
the time, there are occasions when all
the savagery of his kind crops out. He
isyery fond of his mate Jennie and al

under al circumstances . hatred o&
Mr.. De vry which is In singular oon-'
trast to the fondness which the lions
exhibit for him. This Is not the result
Of any trouble between the keeper and
the beasts, but was true from the first
time they saw him. Whenever he
comes within sight of their cage they
become the personification Of ferocity.
They open their wide jaws until every
one of their heavy teeth are visible,
their great eyes become green with
rage, and switching their great tails
they snarl and growl in a way to make
one shudder. As long as they can see
him they keep this up, and it is just
the same when he comes to them bring
ing. their food. It seems to be an ex-
aggerated case of such dislike as some
times exists, without any reason what
ever, between human beings
Many Of the animals are the special
pets Of frequenters of the park. Be-
tween an old and well-known physician
and big, shy elk there is the best
possible understanding. Wherever the
elk is, when he hears the doctors low,
peculiar whistle he at once gives all his
attention to locating him, and when he
discovers where he is rushes to him with
every evidence of delight. One of the
half-grown bears has way of express
ing his Joy when lady, who is in the
habit of bringing him Jumps of sugar
when she comes to the park, makes her
appearance, by bowling in a way that he
is never known to do at any other time.
As soon as he receives his Jumps of SUI
gar he ceases these demonstrations.
One day this lady, riding unexpectedly
through the park, did not have with
her the usual portion of sugar. AL
though she sat well back in the car
rage the bear caught sight of her and
set up his usual howl, and as she had
nothing with which to appease him he
kept it up until she was well out Of
sight. The next time he saw her he
started to howl a greeting, as had been
his wont, when, as if remembering that
he had not been treated well on the oc-
casion of their last meeting, he stopped
short and declined to be friendly until
after he had been given his treat of
sugar Jumps.
The way in which some of the an
finals become the possession of the
park commissioners is peculiar. For
instance, the big brown bear. 'Old
Jim," was at one time in his career a
dancer, and made an uncertain income
for the little Italian who owned him,
by performing as they went up and

Please Congress 90 Home.

Oh, Congress, please Congress adjourn
and 60 home! The knell of your party
has struck. You said you would bring us
to prosperous times, but you chiefly have
brought us bad luck. Of all the hard times
which our history knows, which the nation
has ever passed through the hardest are
those that are still on us now, and are
plainly reasonable to you. For eight
weary months, you have spluttered and
talked ':;eath the capitol's beautiful dome
so please give the people much needed
rest.
Oh, Congress, please Congress go home!
Oh, Congress, please Congress ad jOurn
and 60 home! Your ''fences'' are all
broken down. They need much repairing
and tinkering now, as the recent elections
have shown. The Republican wave has
swept over the land from Washington state
clear to Maine, and Republicans say when
November comes round they will sweep
the whole country again, for the Democrats
in searching you roam. 1t is time that the
fences were put in repair.
So, Congress. please, Congress, go
home.
There is anger and gloom in the White
House to- day as the President studies Hills
speech, and the cabinet weeps as it joins in
grief; there are sObs and a tear drop from
each. In bleak Minnesota the Democrats
say that in Congress the traitors do brood,
while Governor Tillman remarks that he
thinks Mr.. Cleveland is really ''no good"
and while this fighting goes merrily on,
the cry oft repeated doth come from all
the great nations exasperate now:
Oh. Congress, please, Congress. go
home.
The Wilson bills threats, like huge
burdens Of lead, on all of our industries
rest, depression has seized on the mills of
the east. and clutches the farmers out west.
And yet if that bill were but laid on the
shelf, and Congress were safely adjourned
prosperity bright would burst out in full
bloom, and each mill wheel at work would
turn. So the cry rushes on from the east
to the west, like tidal wave seething in
foam, and the whole country joins in angry
request:

The Capitals Grievance.

The Topeka Capital is grieved because
Senator Ingallt attacked the democrats
in his speech at Freedonia last Saturday.
Every Since the Capital and the demo-
cratic administration have been in such
perfect accord on financial matters. that
paper has had notion it could lead
Kansas republicans into Cleveland's
camp, and anything that interferes with
this programme is deplOred by the Cap
ital. Previous to the Republican state
convention the Capital wanted it dis
tinctly understood that if free silver was
ndOrsed by the convention the goldbugs
would bolt. After the convention did
that very thing the executive committee
took it for granted that the Capital meant
what it said, and refused to employ it as
the official organ of the party, but select
ed the Breeze, paper which though
small and obscure, is in harmony with
the republicans of Kansas on financial
matters. 1t is not therefore surprising
that Mr.. Ingalls, remarks were displeas-
ing to the paper which has been thus
sidetracked.
The Capital gives as its reasons for
disapproval of Ingalls, attacks on de-
mocracy two grounds. One is that 1.-The
contest in Kansas is against populism.' >
The other that democracy can be
trusted, that ''the party is natural one,
believing in law and loyalty to the
government and the constitution" etc.
BY what process of reasoning the Cap
itol arrives at the conclusion that the
populis.s are more to be dreaded as an
tagOnists than the democrats we do not
know. The democrats have elected Click
single handed against the republicans,
and the democrats and populist COM
bined elected Lewelling. The populist
rarty is a heterogeneous mixture of
people whose only similarity is a tenden-
cy to be dissatisfied. and who are alike
predisposed to think that whatever is, is
wrong. Mr.. Lewelling is governor
hence many popnlists already want
another change. Some of them even 60
so far as to say he was the worst COVER
nor Kansas ever had. The only way to
keep considerable number of the pop
ulists together any longer is to keep at
lacking them from the outside. There
is no cohesive principle to hold them to-
gether. The free coinage of silver is
their war cry at present. but majority
OF both the other political parties are al

down the country together. He was
always given to fits of bad temper,
which have now become chronic
one day after dancing for gaping
crowd while he was still on his hind
legs he seized his owner and Rugged
him to death. AS no one was discov-
cred who belonged to the Italian save
the bear, there seemed nothing better
to do with him than to take him to
Lincoln park. He has been there
for many years, and is now grown very
decrepit, and, in fact, is suffering all
the inconvenience of old age. A year
ago he could scarcely see, but he is
now getting the second sight of the
aged. His temper has not altered for
the better, however, as he has grown
older. He has no use for anybody but
himself, and when he is permitted to
exercise in the open part of the pit
where the bears are confined it is
necessary to shut out all the others to
prevent battle.
Among the birds is small, silver
gray parrot with brilliant red tail
which, because of it's intelligence and
powers of imitation, is a great pet
with those employed about the park.
No sooner does he see the gray uni
form of the park police than after

itation of policeman's whistle. When
ever he hears a new sound which he
considers worth reproducing, after
listening very attentively and appar-
emily thinking it over most carefully,
he repeats it with the utmost accuracy

much as to say: Il don't think that
could be improved upon, do you?"
