RICH BUT UNHAPPY.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seward had Buckets or
Gold Yet We're Miserable.

The divorce granted Mrs. Kebecca
Seward from her husband. w. 9. Seward
by Judge Martin iast week unraveled q
story as sad as il is Interesting. There is
something 10 ne regretted in the fact of
yOung couple who have found each others
temperaments Incompatible after too
hasiy marriage seeking for divorce. put
when grey haired people with grown-up
children come into court and ask that the
binding ties be tent aSundcr. there is al
ways il sadness i'm the story of their lives
as brought out in the trial that should
teach Others to profit by their examples.
MIR and Mrs. Seward were married in
1858, or in other words, thirty-seven years
AGO. That was back in Illinois, and their
honeymoon was as radiant as ever Romeo
and Juliet passed. They were indus
trious people and knew how to keep
money after they had made it. In few
years they had accumulated over 30c
acres of land in Illinois, valued at
$4,000. Whenever money was earned
that was not put into land or improve
ments, it was converted into gold coin
and buried.
From Illinois the couple came to Ford
county, Kansas, and were again prosper
Gus. Here they acquired section OF
land. still retaining the Illinois property.
After awhile they tired of the Ford
county farm and started overland to
Colorado. There they visited relatives
and finally turned again toward Kansas.
While driving through Harvey county
near Sedgwick, MIR. Seward took a fancy
to the farm where he now lives. 'What
will you take for the farm?'' he asked Of
the owner $50 ,OOO'' was the reply. Mr..
Seward took a tin bucket from the bottom
of his wagon and paid for the farm in
gold. He also bought fine farm in But
Ter county and paid S., 900 in gold for it.
In the meantime. four daughters and
two sons came to brighten their hons.
These children are now all grown. In
the midst OF all their apparent pros
perity, there was unhappiness in the
Seward household. He was cruel to her
and perhaps she had feminine weaknesses
and the trouble that followed was more
than condition of happiness would al
low. They separated in October, 1888,
and Mrs. Sewart brought divorce pro-
ceedings in this term of the District
court.
She was given divorce and . judg-
mept for 3d. 500 which was considered to
be about half of the actual cash value
of the belongings of the defendant. The
case was fought for several days in the
district court and the number OF wit
nesses called in was very large. The
story of the married life of the couple
was brought out as herein told, which
perhaps Is but portion Of the unhappi-
ness that has dwelt In the hearts OF the
interested parties for years. 1t at least
proyes the assertion that riches and hap
piness are not always Of the same family.
fSeward and family lived several years.
in the eastern part Of Ford county. He
was khown to be rich, mean and misery.

CAUSE AND CURE OF HARD TIMES
IN KANSAS
.[TO BE CONTINUED

We Will name the following causes
LIST The financial depression that swept
over the whole nation; but which af-
fected Kansas more than most states be-
cause it was heavily in debt aud SO much
money had to be sent out to pay interest
and in some cases, to pay the debts them
selves.
I'd. The Strip opening, that almost
depopulated certain sections along the
border. and took out capital that was in
vested in speculations from which there
has been but little return.
Sd. The reaction Srom one of the great
eat 'sbooms,'' that ever cursed country,
making it necessary that property should
60 as correspondingly low, as it had
formerly been high.
18th. Two and in sOme cases three sue
eessive crop failures.
18th. The political and financial policy
of so many municipalities, that the way
to bring ''gooc times" is to license pro-
tect and encourage the drinking of beer
and whisky, and various forms of vice.
This has caused many to spend money
for that which destroys the family. rather
than that which supports it.
We could survive any one of these with
but little complaint; but they have all
converged upon one period Of time.
HOW LONG WILL THEY CONTINUE?
Not long, and can never occur again in
the same degree. The reason is, that the
causes that produced them once, can
never all exist again; and those that may
exist, are not likely to converge upon one
point of time.
We may have another financial panic;
but judging this one by the history of the
past, our financial doctors, of whom there
are so many, ought to soon find way
out.
We never can have another ''Stril
Opening for there is no ''strip'' to open
We are not likely to haye another

favorable reactions from that quarter.

Some More Good Vines for Florida.

Some More Good Vines for Florida.
During the summer and fall months the
great desirability of vines in this land of
almost perpetual sunshine, is fully realized.
The difference in temperature between
piazzas and porches curtained by thrifty
vines, or rooms whose windows and walls
are clothed with their verdure, and those
absolutely unprotected against the suns
rays is very marked and distinctly notice
able. have already described a number
of our commoner vines, both native and
exotic, but there are several others either
so little known or so meritorous as to war
rant description.
Few genera of plants produce more Curl
GUS and interesting flowers than the Arts
tolochias. The Dutchman's Pipe(A. Sipho)
a native of rich woods from Pennsylvania
along the mountains south to Georgia, is
an example familiar to many readers. It's
curious brown-purple flowers are shaped
like Dutch pipe, hence its popular name.
But unique as are the flowers Of this species
they are far out done by many of those of
its numerous exotic cousins, all of which
are curious and many extremely grotesque
in form and lurid in coloring. Three of
these species flourish exceptionally we'll
here and attract much attention by their
neat clean growth and their marvelously
curious flowers.
The Boat Flower "a. cymbifera) is an
elegant and rapid growing climber and
profuse bloomer. It's flowers are large. in
shape somewhat like Venetian gondola-
hence its common name-eight inches long
in color light green and creamy white,
beautifully veined with brown and dark
purple, the throat velvety black. 1t is a
remarkable flower, and attracts much at
tention when in bloom.
Another equally curious species is the
Bird Flower "a. ornithocephala). The
flowers of this species are about four inches
long and of truly wonderful appearance.
They may be described as having the head
of hawk with the beak of heron, giving
it singular bird-like resemblance that de-
lights all who have a taste for the odd and
curious in nature. In color the flowers are
reddish purple veined and marbled with
gray and brown. The plant is a rapid
grower and produces its flowers freely.

flowers which are produced in the greatest

on long stalks and have slightly distended

The vine is of annual growth. and an old
established tuber will quickly cover a large
space with vines and leaves, and bloom fol-
months in succession. This vine is hardly
known in this country outside of the South,
and even here is but rarely met
One of our prettiest climbers is the Crab
Eye vine (Abrus precatorius), the so-called
Wonderful Weather Plant" which has
created great amount of interest both If
America and Europe. Aside from whether
it does or does not correctly forecast the
state of the weather, it is certainly mos
beautiful climber. 1t is of slender grace
full growth. covered with delicate pinnate
leaves and clusters of yellow flowers, fol
lowed by punches of pods which when dry
burst open, disclosing brilliant red seeds
with black eyes. These seeds are used
for making various articles of jewelry, etc.
and are often exposed for sale with sea
shells. The beauty of the bright yellow
flowers and cleaning seeds on the back
ground of feathery green foliage, may be
better imagined than described. The vine
is perennial, and survives the ordinary
winters here, eventually covering a consid-
cradle amount of space.
