Potatoes have come in rapidly during
the present thaw. The prices are run
ming from As to Sc cents per bushel.
Quite large part of the crop was held
over by farmers with the expectation
of better prices in seeding time this
spring. Whether there was any wis
dom in holding on to the potatoes with
the good prices offered last fall, is ex-
tremely doubtful.

There is an air Of prosperity about
the village that always evokes favor
able comments from outsiders who
have occasion to visit this place. The
ravelling men who make this point
and there are half hundred of them
are universal in pronouucing this
among the most stirring towns in the
northwest. There is also, a stability
in this condition of things, that is a
source of satisfaction to the citizens.
and also a strong inducement to PEG.
pie in less favorable places to come
here and locate. The support of the
town, now comes entirely from the
products of the agricultural develop
ments of the country. Every year
notes the influx of a large number OF
men with families, who seek homes on
the undeveloped lands tributary to this
center. With the diversified indus
tries now in operation, there is mar
ket for everything so far raised. With
the addition OF the pickle factory,
comes a still wider range of resources
into which the farmer may delve and
get ample returns for his labors. New
things in connection with the advance
ment and growth of this place, are
getting into shape, and the coming
summer will see them evolved and as
sumo the proportions of brick build
,ings. A more extended notice will
probably be given in next weeks pa.

SNYDER ASKED TO RESIGN.
His -sssignation Was Not Voluntary as He
Gave Out.

His designation Was Not Voluntary as He
Gave Out.
1t leaked out today that the resigua-
ton of Judge s Fl. Snider as insurance
commissioner was not voluntary offer
ing on his part as the public was given
TO understand in his letter of resigna-
ton
Judge Snider is not saying anything
about it but it is positively known that
Governor Morrill, requested the Tesigna-
tIon which was so cneerfully offered up
Saturday morning.
In his letter Judge Snider said he had
other business which would claim all his
attention but as he left for Chicago this
afternoon and told his friends that he
might possibly go on to New York it is
supposed he is in search of the business
which is to furnish him employment
Some of the local PopuIists are kick
ing because Judge Snider pretended to
give up so cheerfully an office which
would place two and half months sal :
airy in the pocket of George I. Anthony,
when the facts are that his resignation
was requested by the governor
1t has been expected that Governor
Morrill, would appoint George T. Anthony
for the short term between April Is and
d uAy l, Dut Ch0 StoAy - no" out LAdt t1ISr0
is trouble between Mr.. Anthony and the
governor, because Governor Morrill,
wanted to name the assistant superin-
tendent of insurance, and Mir. Anthony
already has man picked out for the
place.
1t is said that the governor wanted C..
G. Blakely of the Kansas Mutual to have
| the place.
Whom Mr.. Anthony intends to name
for his assistant is not known, but Cap
tain J. II. Downing of Hays City is said
to be candidate. and as he is warm
personal friend of the ex-governor he is
thought to be the man. The position
pays 81 500 a year.

have inspired greater respect from the
public than has the arrest of the card
writer. But Wilde is a man who never
lets slip good opportunity to get an adj
vertisement, and although the advertise
ment he is now receiving is not to be
obtained without expense and would not
be pleasing to most of us it will prove
good enc if extensive dissemination be
the proper standard.
Wide is essentially product of the
second half of the nineteenth century,
though, to the credit of the race and
the age, he is not a typical one. Guilt
waited he certainly is, but he must not
be considered primarily as cultivated
person His chief characteristics are
clever impudenca and Willingness to
do almost anything for money. Who
but man of these traits could have
displayed the nerve he showed during
his memorable tour through the United
States when he attired himself in knee
breeehes and appropriate accompanying
garments and lectured in stained glass
attitudes with a sunf1ower in his hand?
There were those who thought him a
bit daft at that time, but it was seen
long before the conclusion of his tour
that he knew lot.
Yet Notwithstanding Wilde's keen
ness he was easily bunkoed during that
visit to the States IL years ago by
Hungry Joe'' and has more than once
said since then that the notorious conf
denoe man had much greater ability in
several directions than any one else he
had ever met.
Many people have forgotten that it
was Du Maurier, the author of the
much discussed ''Trilby," who first
exploited Wilde, yet SO it was Du
Maurier, though himself a very clever
person, seems TO have been taken in by
Wilde quite as much as Wilde was de-
ceived by Hungry Joe, - for the artist
evidently accepted the posings and other
nonsense of the 'apostle of astheticism"
as sincere, else he would not have Carl
catured him, thus furnishing the desir-
ed advertisement. Gilbert and Sullivan
took Wilde in similar fashion, and in
their opera of Patience" did him a
similar favor. Now Wilde can laugh at
them all, for his plays and books, albeit
some of them, as George Parsons La
throp has said, are tdisgustingly filthy
and a-reek with unnatural debase-
ment. y are exceedingly successful, and
he has money a-plenty. But, after all,
it would seem that he has paid high
price for it. C. W. OLDBoRN.

WANTED TO SAVE SINNERS.
A Demented Colored Man Creates Sem
stations In Lawrence Churches.

stations In Lawrence Churches.
LAWRENCE, Kas, March "a
Considerable excitement was caused in
four of the churches at the time OF the
morning service yesterday, by an insane
colored man who attempted 10 preach to
the congregations.
He first visited the Congregational
church, and marched up the aisle to the
pulpit Some of the members persuaded
him to leave the church, and he went
across the street to the Methodist
church. Here he did the same ds at
the other place. He vas urged to leave,
but did not do SO until he had informed
the people that he had been sent to them
to save them.
His presence created much fright
among the women and children. He was
given E'wide berth" on his way out.
Having exhorted the Methodists he
went to the Episcopal church, which is
diagonally across the street Advan-
cling to the choir seats, he sat down for
moment Large drops of perspiration
rolled off his forehead, which showed the
great nervous excitement that he was
under. He had with him a large pull pit
bible. which he had obtained at one of
the other churches.
Presently he mounted the chancel
steps, and opening his Bible, read pas
sage from st. John, then sank down on
his knees and prayed His manner was
subdued. Prof. Arthur Garfield ap-
preached him and asked what he in
tended doing. "I'm going to save the
sinners cried the fellow, becoming
boisterous. The professor suggested that
if he wanted to lind some sIlners he go
down in front of the EIdridge house
"There are plenty of sinners here" re-
piled the mailman, casting a sharp look
at his questioner.
Finally Prof. Garfield and one of the
members of the congregation seized the
man and hurried him toward the door.
He at first resisted, but upon being re-
minded by Prof. Garfield that the scrip
lures forbade resistance to the power -
he left the church. Later he was ar
, rested by the marshal at the English
Lutheran church, where he made a dis
| turbance.
He is a medium sized man of rather
heavy build, dark skin and very large
eyes. His clothes are plain, but neat. Ii
is not known where he came from and
he refused to give his name He seemed
to be harmless but has strange actions
and frightened the women and children
very much. The colored people here
have been holding protracted revival
/ for six weeks past, which probably ac-
| counts for the episode.
