One Way to Succeed.

Some one wrote to the Kansas Breeze
asking If young man could succeed
in Kansas; ii a few hens could do well
under the present system of legisla-
tion; If it was best to start in without
some action by the government or
should he wait until the plutocrats
have heen knocked out? The following
IS al extract from the answer given
the young man by the Breeze:
We have seen men succeed in Kan
sas, just as if the plutocrats were not
running things We have man in
mind now. He started in a dozen
years ago with all the load OF legisla-
tiOn on his back, and without cent.
He seemed to be unconscious of the
fact that he was the slave of Wall
street, and in a worse condition than
the African before the war. OF course
he was slave, because even then
there was several re-sC9s n Kansas
vic I.aa stated That src.- was TIE case;
but he did not know it, He went
right along and worked by the month
for another slave OF plutOcratic tyran-
ny, at $50 per month, and saved his
money and bought piece of land, and
married him a wife His wife was
just as foolish as lla was: she didn't
seem 10 know that :hey were simply
a couple OF slaves and victims OF OPP
preston. The nan worked and saved,
and the woman worked and sang.
They managed 70 gather n few hens
and female swine or two. The mems
laid their eggs right along. just as if
the wealth of the country wasn't con-
centrating into the hands OF few.
He fattened his pork on ten cent corn,
and made it bring him sixty cents a
bushel. He paid his debts, and built
house, right in the face OF plutocrat-
ic legislation He was one OF the
most unreasonable men you ever heard
OF. The question, whether thousand
men owned a third OF the property,
didn't seem TO trouble him, 50 long as
he got good price for pork He SEEM
ed to have an old fashioned fool notion
to attend to his own business. This,
of course, wasn't in proper form; he
ought, OF course, TO have followed after
some orator whose mouth hung on a
hair trigger. He built a house, and
paid for If, just at the time the orator
was proving that it wasn't possible to
get out OF debt. He didn't talk much
on national finance. and he wasn't
seen much about picnic where people
gathered TO DO up monop0lies; but he
bought more hogs. He put money in
the bank, In spite of the fact that
Wall street was sitting upon him all
the time. In fact, he never seemed to
find out that Wall street was after
him at all. He succeeded in Kansas:
We think you viii succeed in Kansas.
but we wouldn't advise You to wait for
legislation. We never have had much
faith in legislation to increase the out
put Of eggs from the given number of
hens-Nidette.

Al last Washington prunes are to
be known under their proper name.
IN the East, instead of as heretofore
masquerading as an Oregon product.
Phil F. Kelly & Co. OF this city, ON
Friday started special train of ten
cars Of Clark county prunes east over
the Northern Pacific railroad from
Portland. Eight OF these cars will
go to st Louis and two to the Atlantic
seaboard- Next week the same firm
viii forward another train of eight
cars east and another OF FIVE cars to
Puget sound.
The prunes were heretofore all
taken by Portland merchants and
sold under Oregon brands. In point
of fact they were all raised in the
vicinity OF Vancouver, Clarke county,
Wash. which is the great section for
prune growing on the coast. These
shipments comprised, when green,
about 5.O00. 900 pounds of fruit. The

A TERRIBLE REcoRD.-It is said that
eighty thousand persons die premat-
urely in Great Britain every year by
the indirect influence of intoxicating
drinks; that is from destitutioD, acci-
dent, violence, and disease; and that
forty thousand are annually killed bY

Poison IN DRNK.-Sone very inter
esting reading is furnished by a little
book recently published, which gives
full directions for compounding the
vaIieus drinks usually sold in bar
rooms.
Many who imagine that they are
consuming the distilled essence of corn
and rye may be surprised to lem that
there Is very little genuine liquor in
tho market. 1t does not pay TO sell ii
when limitations can be made at a cost
one dollar gallon. And the imita
ticns are made from cheap and vile
potato spirit, favored with various
ellis, and toned up by such deadly such
deadly poisons as sulphate of copper,
chloroform and sulphuric acid.
Ordinary wines, though less injur
isus, ar equally fraudulent, consisting
largely of seasoned cider, boracic, log
weed and various coloring matters.
Even bser is not above suspicion, malt
and hops being replaced by various
chsmicals, to secure larger profits.
Perhaps il would b best to avoid all
these drinks Verify there is death in
the cup.

La Coterie was entertained on Tues

home of Mrs. DR.. Perkins.
The delightful autumn day brought
out an unusually large attendance of
members and the addition of the guests
of the day, Mesdames Foreman, Luck.
Gill and Jordan, and Misses Swobe and
Park, made a large, merry party.
Mrs Harbour, representing the Trib-
une and Ogden Press, was made well

After ten-minute talk by Mrs. Cor

programme was given.

Last week was livelier in social
way than any that preceded it for
several months. The chief event was
the reception at Fort Douglas on
Thursday evening. There were numer-
pus smaller parties.
There was unusual activity at Fort
Douglas on Thursday evening. Recre-

rolled up to the club house and depos-
tied there their richly dressed occu-
pants. Out upon the night air stole
the softened strains of dance music

upon their duties. Everything betok-
ened that an event Of Importance was
taking place at the post. and SO it
proved.

tastefully decorated with bunting and

were stacked, and above the door
hung a. picture Of Gen. Penrose. taken
during his service in the late war. A
touch of softness and femininity was
given to the scene, suggestive Of bat
tle's stern array. by the pretty ar
arrangement of rugs. divans and piano
lamps on the stage. An eXtemporized
platform draped with bunting was
khe station for the garrison band;
which furnished the music.
Refreshments were served in the
periors and dining rooms of the club
house which were appropriately dec
