The Kansas Farmers.

The governor of Kansas puts the case of
the farmers very plainly before the public
in the current North American. The farm
mortgage debt of Kansas aggregated S157,-
145, 600 in 1890, and 10000 farmers are
annually dispossessed of their homes by
the foreclosure of these mortgages. Dur
ing the last 10 years the people of Kansas
have practically lost S3,OOO,OOO through
the decline of prices in corn and wheat
They are paying interest to money lenders
at rates all the way from six to II per
cent, and they are yearly disposing of their
crops at bare percentage above the cost
of production. What is true of Kansas is
true of other western states, and the I'M
rest and suffering among the people are
great.

lie Set His Trousers on Fire at the We'd
ding Reception.
All the girls in Jacksonville, Mich, have
been trying to catch Adrian Van der SlOuis
for long time. Now they are all laugh
ing at him, says Detroit despatch to the
New York World. A fair maid of James
town, Ottawa county, won him, and tn y
were married Monday night. After the
blushing bride had received the congratu-
lations of her friends, she, leaning on the
bridegroom arm, led the way to supper.
The bridal cake was beautiful thing, COW
cred with thick layer of soft sugar and
chocolate. The cake had been too tempt
ing for the brides little sister. She had
helped herself to a quarter section of it,
but, being unable to eat it before the we'd
ding company went to supper, had hidden
it under the table on a chair. That was
the chair on which Adrian Van der Slouis
sat, and Adrian Van der Slouis wore fine
lavender trousers. He did not know that
the cake lurked there.
When he rose from the wedding feast
and led the way out of the room, the
guests began to laugh. The bride, wom-
an of nerve and quick perception, hur-
ried Adrian aud his lavender trousers into
applied gasoline where it would do the
most good, and soon all evidences of the
chocolate were removed. Then the happy
couple returned to their guests. But
Adrian was i'll at ease. Bashful at best, he
was damp with preparation and gasoline.
He felt he must do something to distract
attention from himself. SO he passed
around box of fine cigars All the men
took one and lighted them. Then Adrian
Van der Slouis took one, bit OFF the end
and put the cigar between his lips. Then
he took a red-headed sulphur match and
scratched it on his lavender trousers. There
was puff, a blaze, yell Of agony. I'm
afire"' cried Adrian. clutching his coat
tails. BY way of rendering the promptest
assistance all the young women shrieked
One man seized the water pitcher, another
ran to the well. Only the bride kept her
wits about her. She grabbed up mat
and put out the incipient connagration.
Adrian's trousers are ruined and he ate
his breakfast next day from the mantel.
But worst of all, the girls who tried to win
him are laughing at him.

The total exports of American apples
thus far this season are over l, 100000 bar
rels, against little more than 100000 bar
rels up to the corresponding date of last
year, when the transatlantic crops were
abundant, instead of being scant, as is the
case this year. In 1891, which was the
"banner year. in the apple trade, 1,4j0,-
336 barrels were exported, and it is expect
ed that this great quantity will be equalled
before this seasons shipments have ceased.

The Rotherma1 Case.

The Rothermal case went 'sky high'
structed the jury to return a verdict in
favor of the defendant. The state rested
last night and Immediately the attorneys
for the defense Dufur & Menefee and
Huntington & Wilson introduced a mo-
tion to the effect as stated above. Argu-
ments were heard yesterday afternoon
and evening and this morning the court
granted the motion and the defendant
was discharged. No evidence had been
introduced by the defense. The point
raised was that the indictment charged
Rothermal with embezzlement, but the
evidence went to show that Rothermal
was not the agent of Morsoach, the man
from whom the money was alleged to be
stolen, consequently he was not guilty of
.embezzlement. The point was vigor-
Ously combatted by Prosecuting Attorney
Jayne and II. H. Riddell, who appeared
for the private prosecutor, and sub
mitted to the court last evening. This
morning the decision was rendered in
favor of the defendants contention.
The cost of the case has been very
heavy. A great many witnesses testified
for the prosecution and large number
summoned for the defense who did not
testify. Some have estimated the cost
of the trial at over $1,000. but this prob
ably an over-estimate; but at any rate
the bill will be large enough.

A large audience greeted the Howe
Readick Dramatic Company in 'iA1onte

However high may have been the praise
for the acting on the previous evening,
the words could be repeated in describ-
ing the performance last night. The
piece is well known to be a strong one
and it suffered nothing at the hands of
such players as compose the Howe
r ,adick Company. The audience was
very responsive and the applause was
loud and frequent. Mr.. Readick, MIR.
Ross and Mr.. Maxim were superior in
their parts, while the same may be said
OF the remaining members of the cast
especially Miss Tittell and Mics Free
man. Miss Tittell is favorite in The
Dalles and Miss freeman made herself
one by her acting last evening. The
music OF the Orchestra Union added
much to the pleaure of the evening.

Deatl, of Mrs. Lemko.

Mrs. F. Lemke died this morning
shortly after O'Clock. Her death was
not unexpected, as since noon of the
previous day she had been failing, and
the watchers by the bedside feared lest
she might not last till nightfall. About
two weeks ago Mrs. Lemke suffered a
stroke of paralysis, from which she
never rallied. Since that time she has
been unable to speak.
Mrs Lemke was aged 4S, and had been
resident of The Dalles quite a number
of years. She was woman of estima-
BILE qualities, and leaves many friends
who will mourn her loes severely. Her
husband, Mr.. Fred Lemke, and her son,
Mr.. John Hertz, survive her. The fun
eral will take place Sunday afternoon at
2 O'Clock from her late residence.
