Whenever Detroit or st. Louis gets
up some new and unusual experience
it is a curious fact that Chicago i'm
mediately produces something so much
more startling in the same line that
there is nothing left to be said about
the first episode. A few days ago a
couple Of young men fought a duel
with skates on the ice that covers De-
trOit River. A duel in Chicago out
classes the Detroit affair five to one
Mary Walsh and Nelly Mahoney had
a dispute. Who began it is not clear,
but Mary poured a pot full Of hot tea
down the inside Of Nelly's dress. be-
ginning at her collar. Nelly hit Mary
with the frying pan. and Mary came
back with the emptied teapot. Nelly
pinned her faith to the skillet because
1t was hot, but Mary abandoned the
teapot for a picture Of Washington
crossing the Delaware. and the result
was Nelly's defeat ingloriously. And
yet men like the soon to be ex- Congress
man Breckenridge pose as opponents of
the code and gentlemen to whom boil
ing tea down their backs is the way
they really prefer the beverage.

- A'''' ~ NoN through the 1nf1u-
erce Of her cousin, Schuyler COlfax,
she was appointed lightkeeper ut this
port. At that time, says the Head
light, Miss Harriet A. Colfax was a
pleasant faced young woman of %. and
her petite figure seemed peculiarly
untitled for the position, but time has
disproved this supposition, and the YER
dict is now unanimous that a wiser
choice could not have been made.
Miss COlfax is native Of Ogdens-
burg. n. Y, but as she migrated to
Michigan in 1853 it is fair to say that
she is Western woman. She learned
The Globe-republican., 1895-03-22

to set type in her brothers printing Of

and met and formed a sort of life part
nership with her lifelong friend and
companion, Miss Ann Hartwell, at that
time CHEEKY little schoolma'am Of
Michigan City. For upwards of thirty
years these little women have dwelt
together in perfect harmony, their in
tercourse being unmarried by a single
cross word. Faithfully and fearlessly
has Miss Colfax performed her duties,
never once in all these years neglecting
them for single night. Never has the

Kansas CITY, Mo-, Journal: The win

most feeders made money and the mar
ket has steadily grown stronger, many
cattle are being put on spring feed for
the summer market. Never before at
this season Of the year have SO many
young cattle bcen taken at the Kansas
City, Kan, stock yards, for the country
for feeding purposes, as now. Three
hundred cars of stockers and feeders
were taken for the country last week.
This is fifty cars more than during any
week in March, 1894, while in 1893, the
greatest number OF cars taken during
any week in March was 1O4. and in
1892 tho greatest number during any

In some portions Of southern kansss
the cotton industry is an important fea.
ture in the agricultural line. Mont
gomery county produces cotton that
equals the average of any state in the
union, although it is on the northern
extreme of the cotton belt. Senator Nc
Taggart, the representative from that
county in the upper house, is large
planter and also owns a gin, the largest
of the three in his county, which he OPP
crates in connection with -four mill, by
water power. He keeps three colores
families upon his farm to perform the
labor, and in the last nineteen years
there has been but one in which he has
not raised crop with a general average
of from three fourths Of bale to a full
bale OF 500 pounds to the acre, shipping
the product as do other producers in the
nei8hborhood, to st. Louis The profit
in the trade Is good when the prices are
medium or high, though for several
years they have been SO low that fair
return could not be secured. In consid-
ering the profits an important factor is
the seed, which is worth 10 or 20 cents
per bushel, and is valuable as food for
cattle and sheep when mixed with grain.
An ecre planted in cotton will furnish az
much of this seed as OF wheat or oats.
Montgomery county raises altogether
from fifty to 300 bales yearly, mostly in
the bottom lands.

Russian Horn Music.

From the country of the Car we hear
of an absorbing and pleasing musical
entertainment. The only instruments
are horns, and each produces but one
tone. The horns vary like the pipes of
an organ. One Of them sounds only ev-
cry c, while another only every D, and
SO throughout the tune. Each player
is so correctly trained that whenever
his instrument must speak, it is given
with the greatest accuracy. and the
tones of the different instruments
sound as if from a single one. The play
ers, usually serfs, receive very careful
training, and the works of Haydn, Mo-
Fart and other distinguished compos-
ers are executed with taste and skill.
This pleasing style Of band entertain
ment was invented by Narischkin.
Since his time there has been great i'm
provement in the construction and ca

KANSAS CHURCH AFFAIRS.
Kansas NctllOlisfs.

The fortieth annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church il Kansas
was in session in Leavenworth last week.
The conference was presided over by
Bishop d. A. Goodsell, of San Francis
co, Cal. The fourteen bishops of the
church in the United States alternate in
presiding over the 113 annual con-
ferences under their jurisdiction. OF the
more than million dollars raised for
missions by the NJ. E. church last year,
this conference raised nearly its share,
and SO of the other sums raised for the
benevolences.
The Methodist Episcopal church dates
its first work in Kansas as far back as
1929, when it established mission at
Shawnee Mission, und1r charge OF Rev.
Thomas johnson. The first Methodist
church organized was perfected at the
same place and by the same pastor in
March 1882, one Shawnee and one Del
aware-''a head man''-being the first
converts. 'H
The first session of the Kansas con-
ference was held in Lawrence. October
1856, presided over by Bishop Ossman
C. Baker, a ter whom Baker university
was named. The SESSION was held 10
tent, and sixteen members composed the
conference, of whom only two now sur
vive, and each is past his three score
years and ten-B. F. Bowman and j.
Dennison. The roll of the conference
now numbers 1872. although its limits
now contine it to the eastern portion OF
the state. From it has been formed
three other conference.-the South Kan
sas, the Southwest Kansas and the
Northwest Konsas. averaging 100 MEM
bers each. The lay membership in these
four conferences is nearly 100000.
