One of the saddest deaths that has
come to our community for long
time, was the death of Mr.. A. l.. john
son which occurred on Monday morn
ing of last week between the hours of
four and five o'clock.
Mr.. Johnson seemed to be perfectly
well and as healthy as usual on Sun
day and accompanied by his family
spent the day visiting neighbors. He
returned home about five o'clock and
then went to call up sick friend re-
naming there until ten O'Clock. Re-
turning home and upon retiring for
the night he complained of no pain
and no evidence of pain was manifest
ed until few minutes before his deaih
when his breathing became very loud.
His wife then rose, lit a lamp and
upon turning to the bed found him
dead.
Mr.. johnson was born at Bethel
Clermont county, Ohio, Sept. IS, 1854
and died Jan. II, 1895. Aged 40 years
months and Is days. He was an
earnest christian having united with
the NJ. Z. church at Union City, Ind.
when about Is years old and has been
a faithful member since.
He was united in marriage with
Miss Lizzie Walters in Ohio Oct. IA,
1880. Came to Kansas in March 1884
and leaves a wife and two children a
boy and girl to mourn his loss.
The funeral was preached by Rev.
Hunter IN the NJ. E. church and the
services were conducted by the Masons
and Woodmen. He was laid to rest
in the lola cemetery.
His death is a sad blow to the COM

SCHOOL NOTES

The first common school examination of the
year will be held at the following places: Car
lyle Spring Branch. Bayard lola LaHarpe
Moran. Humboldt Bethel and LaHarpe The
time of holding this examination has been an
nOunced for March l aud 2. but will need 10 be
changed until one week later, owing TO the
teachers association coming the first Saturday
of each month. All concerned will please take
note that the correct date is March and 9
Prof S. S Estey and G. W Smith have been
reappointed on the county examining board
The board has raised the required average for
third grade certificate from 20 to IS.
Those who attended the State association
from Allen county were Clara Harris. Grace

that there was no possibility of the
election of either of them by this Leg
islature. The strength, or the weak
ness of Mr.. Ingalls, was shown by the
fact that although he was voted for
on almost every ballot, the highest
number of votes cast fer him on any
one ballot was four. Both Capt. De-
Witt and myself would most certain
ly have deferred to the wishes of our
constituents in this matter if there
had been any possibility of our votes
awaiting anything. 1t did not seem
to us, however, that it would be ex-
pected or desired of us to sacrifice our
influence by casting our votes for a
man who had himself declared that
he was not a candidate, and whom
the vast majority of the Legislature
refused to consider as a candidate.
So much for the "whys and where
fores."
AS to the man who, from all this
tangle, has come out victor, hardly too
much can be said in his praise. l
may be prejudiced in his favor because
he is my warm personal friend. But
it is only the bare truth to say that he
is a clean, pure, honest, independent,
resolute, brainy man. He was born
in Ohio, (of course y, forty eight years
ago. He is about five feet eleven in
ches in height, and well built, with
blond hair and mustache, and strong
face. He is college man, lawyer,
and has lived in Kansas since 1868.
He has never held any office except
that of state Senator, although he was
a candidate for Congress before the
"Big Four" convention in 1882. He
has fine voice and is among the very
best speakers in the state. He goes
to the United States Senate, as every
man should go there, absolutely I'M
trammelled by pledges or promises,
free from connection with any corpor-
alton or clique, and with twenty years
of hard work in him. A great many
people who do not know Lucien Bak
er were doubtless disappointed when
they heard of his election. But those
who do know him have no fear but
that long before his first term is over
every man in Kansas will be proud of
him, and every Republican, at least,
will be glad to acknowledge that the
Legislature which elected him did
the party and the state service.

THE HUMAN EAR.
A Notable Lecture on the Sense of Hear
ing by DIR. Hartman.

Notable Lecture on the sense oil near
ing by DIR. Hartman,
During the course of one OF DIR. Hear
mans latest lectures at the Surgical
Hotel, be said: "Good hearing is es-
sential to heath and safety. A con-
tinued roaring cracking and buZZing
in the head, which is always produced
by partial loss of hearing, is constant
nervous irritation which will gTadu-
ally undermine the strength. Besides
this, even 70 slight loss of hearing rem
ders any one more liable to accident
many persons being killed every
year because of partial deafness.
Many people think that a gradual loss
of the sense of hearing is inevitable,
and that every one must submit to it
sooner or later. Hence they make no
attempt to find cure. This is great
mistake. Loss of hearing, either in
the old or young people is nearly al
ways due to chronic catarrh of the
head or middle ear"
Catarrhal deafness is due to catarrh
Of the throat passing up through the
Eustachian tubes to the middle ear.
The catarrh in rare cases originates
in and remains confined to the middle
ear. The SYMPTOMS are: Roaring,
cracking, buzzing in the ear, with
gradually increasing difficulty in
hearing. If not cured the hearing
will be entirely destroyed. When the
case has not already gone too far be-
fore the treatment is begun Pe-ru-na
will cure every case. 1t is only after
catarrh has destroyed portions of the
middle ear that Pe-ru-na fails To cure
All such cases should write DR.. HIATT
man, Columbus, Ohio, for futher adj
vice. A book GU la grippe, coughs,
colds, crtarrh, etc., will be sent free
to any address by The Pe-ru-na Drug
Manufacturing Company of Columbus
Ohio.

Salisbury Popular in Guiana.

SOUTHAMPTON, Oct 23.-The bishop
of British Guinea arrived here today on
board the steamer Orinoco from George
town. In an interview regarding the dis
pute between Great Britain and Venezu-
ella he said there was the strongest feel
ing among the coionists that Great Brit
ain should maintain the position she had
assumed regarding the SchOmberg line.
As to the possibility OF Intervention on
the part of the United States the bishop
said that although the coIontsts do not
look for United States assistance, yet a
certain section Of them seem to feel The
United States has more sympathy for
Guinea than England has. Therefore,
continued the bishop. it was matter Of
congratulation that the marquis of Sails
bury had demanded reparation for the
Uruan affair, which action. it was
thought. would lead to a speedy settle
ment of the whole question.
Another British colonist who was on
board the OrinOco expressed similar Opin-
ions and added that the Inspector of police,
Colonel McInnes, had gone to Uruan in
order to see that place properly pro-
tected.

WHY RASMUSSEN RAN AWAY.

CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-William Rasmus-
sen has brought himself to light and
now his fellow employees assert that
the young mOtOrnlan who has brOOded
over the death of lad by his car the
other day and who Monday night sent
his car whfzzing through the safety
gates into a Burlington passenger
train at a crossing, is of unbalanced
mind. They say it with pity as Ras-
mussen has been an exemplary COM
panion and employee, so far as honest
endeavor goes.
Rasmussen, for whom the police had
searched all night without success,
yesterday walked into the Office of the
West Chicago Street railway. Rasmus-
sen was unable to explain how the ac-
cident occurred except to assert that
HE did not see the lowered gates at the
track. He says he ran away because
he was afraid OF being arrested.
