Grand canon Of Colorado River

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges-a Titan of ohasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder Of
the world. You can "read up" about it by
asking g. 7. Nicholson, g. p. d 7. A., A.
L. l. S. +. R. R. Co., Topeka, Kas., to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem

attributable to dyspepsia and non-as-

Congressional History.
NcDonough County Democrat.


The question has been asked
whether the Quincy district ever had
q republican representative in con-
gress. 1t had for eight years. When
the republican legislature of 1861
met it redistricted the state, the
fourth district including Adams,
Hancock, Henderson, Warren. Mer-
Ger and Rock Island. In 1862 the
republicans nominated Charles b.
Lawrence, afterwards one OF the su-
preme judges, but he was defeated by
Charles NJ. Harris in the democratic
reaction Of that year. Abner C..
Harding. OF Monmouth. was elected
by the republicans in 1864 and again
in 1866. Gen. John b. Hawley, of
Rock Island. was nominated by the
republicans in 1865. and he defeated
X. K. Cable. In 1870 Hawley de-
feated Gen. Singleton by 40 votes.
The legislature Of 1871 again changed
the district, putting Adams in the
Eleventh district, with Brown, Pike,
Calhoun. Greene and Jersey, which
was overwhelmingly democratic.
In 1881 Scott and Cass were added,
and the district became the Twenty
seventh. In 1898 the present Fif-
teenth district was formed. which
includes Adams. Brown, Schuyler,
Hancock, McDonough, Henderson and
Warren.

Once during the schooldays of the
president of the French republic his pro-
fessor in geography asked him, ''Perier,
give us the exact position and indicate
the latitude of the Gambler group"
Casimir Perier crossed his arms tightly
upon his chest, looking very perplexed
One Of his neighbors whispered to him
the wrong answer, whereupon the pro-
fessor gave him the exact position of
this little group, which belongs to the
more important French establishment
Of Tahiti, and after q short pause, and
with little point of irony, said: You
ought to know that, Perier, because it
is thanks to your grandfather that
France acquired the ascendancy in these
parts of the world. 1t was through his
efforts and entreaties that the dusky
queen Of these islands was induced to
come to France, and the men Of my
generation still remember the comical
songs which celebrated the event" Pc
rier blushed considerably, but, holding
his head still higher, answered the pro-
lessor with his quick and peculiar die
ton, II will most certainly go over
this lesson again and try to be more

The Management OF Asylums.

In reply to letter from j. W.
Babcock, of Columbia, S. c., regard
ing the management OF insane asy-
lums. Gov. Altgeld has written that
he was once imbued with the ideas
that the management of an insane
asylum should be subject to as few
changes rs possible, but since having
been brought into closer relations
with the management of such insti-
tutions he has entirely changed his
mind, and now feels that complete
change Of management at reasonable
intervals is an absolute necessity to
the welfare of the asylum. as there
seems to be everywhere an irresist-
able tendency to get into a rut.
Summing up he says: MY idea of
public service is, first. select men
solely with reference to their fitness
second. do not put man on the pay
roll who is not absolutely needed
third. do not pay more money in the
institution than similar ability or
service would command outside;
fourth, do not keep a man an hour
after it is found that he is just not
the right man for the place, and let
it make no difference who recon-
mended him, or what influence is
back of him; fifth, keep the stand.

a Partisan Industry.

A Paris correspondent describes one
Of the oldest industries of that city to
be found in little shop in the Rue des
Ecoles, which deals exclusively with the
secondhand boots of the men who work
in the sewers. These boots are furnished
by the state and come half way up the
thigh, and each man is allowed new
pair every six months. When new, they
cost %; when sold secondhand, they
realize the modest sum of 90 cents, but
as at least 5000 pairs per annum are
sent to the Rue des Ecoles it makes
quite booming industry. The leather
Of these boots is, SO to speak, tanned by
the alkaline and greasy water in which
the sewer cleaners paddle, and they are
eagerly sought for by the great Partisan
bootmakers, for this leather, being at
once tough and light. serves to sustain

Again he made an equally feeble at

Emin had addressed request to XII

Tho request was granted. but the sultan
sent secret orders to Said, one Of his
vassals, to assassinate the explorer.

his death would be terribly avenged by

fearless and incorruptible beyond the
reach of wheeding, bribery or intimida-
party, section, sect or faction; patriotic
and not partisan, always for the right
and against the wrong, union of all
the newspapers would be the highest
terrestrial illustration of omniscience
and Omnipotence. Such a combination
could overturn any principality, throne
