A MOVEMENT is on foot in Atchison to
Aecure the abolition of the police board
It would be just as we'll. The board is
the source of considerable expense and
does not perform the duties for which it
was created. The metropolitan police
law was enacted for the sole purpose of
securing the enforcement of the prohibit
tory law. 1t has been 3 failure every
where except in this city. Why then
should the people of Atchison, Lesven-
worth, Kansas City, FIT Scott and Wichita
be put to the expense of maintaining it
The Wilson County Citizen should
read up little before he undertakes to
discuss the country's finances He says
there is six hundred million dollars
more money in the country now than
there was in 1873. As a matter of fact
there is not that amount of money in the
country all together. Nothing is money
but gold, and there is not that much
gold, according to the treasury reports.
All the other circulating medium con-
sists Of notes, or other promises to pay.
Silver is no longer money, silver certif-
Gates are not money, coin certificates are
not money, gold certificates are not money,
legal tenders are not money, national bank
notes are not money. The government
is pledged to redeem all these forms OF
currency in gold. Where then is all the
money! Silver was money in 1873.

A ter the Apples.

A gentleman who some years ago
had occasion to take a long journey
through the Caucasus, was accom-
panied by q servant and gu de, who
told him many stories of the country
stories of danger and peril in that bear
fre lucnted forest land Once, Stepan,
the guide, and friend of his had OBJ
served an apple-tree well laden with
fruit, some seven or eight versts from
their village in the forest. 1t stood
unclaimed of man, almost the only relic
of some once prosperous Tscherkess
village. Stepan and his friend arrang-
ed to meet at the tree one morning
early, and share the frnit
When Stepan came near the tree,
he saw some one already engaged in
throwing the apples down. Thinking
his friend was trying to steal q march
on him, the irato Stepan heaped all
manner of abase on him, and at last,
getting no answer, fairly yelled with
rage, and began to throw things into
the tree.
Then the shower of apples ceased,
and with gruff snort, huge old bear
came tumbling out of the tree, almost
on top of the terrified villager. AS
usual in such cases, Bruin was quito as
much frightened as the man, and
shambled off as quickly as possible,
leaving the apples to Stepan and his
friend.

Following the instructions OF the Doc

plication Of o cold, moist cloth on the

her temperature, for the Doctor had told
her that if tho mercury reached ccr-
tain spot he must be instantly sent for,
as there was imminent dangcr Forum
ately this did not become necessary.
Slowly, slowly the hours wore on, and
at last the morning dawned, finding
Hattie still at the sick-bcd. What
night she had spent! What tormentlng
thoughts had crowded uron the troubled
heart of the young girl The absence
of Ralph, Yesterdays conversation WITH
Jack Spoford, her aunt's sickness anG
possible death-hero were sorrows
enough, indeed, to overwhelm the heart
of ono so young.
Morning dawned, but the new day
brought no change for the bettcr in MRS.
Warringham's condition. All that sur
rounded her did the utmost to save her,

the cold clay of her who had taken a
mothers place by her, when her own
dear mothers death left the child oil
scarcely five summers unprotected al {
