Talking himself to Dfath

The doctors of the Osawatomie,
Kas., insane asylum keep John N.
Reynolds, famous as an ex-convict,
under the influence Of opiates about
half the time. They have to do it to
prevent him from talking himself to
death. He wants to make speeches
day and night. One morning he COM
menced to deliver temperance lecture
and did not quit for twenty-seven
hours, and only then when he tainted
from hunger and exhaustion. He
weighed 200 pounds when he entered
the asylum. He has talked himself
down to 12O. Reynolds is the only
man in the United States who ever
ran for senator while an inmate Of the
penitentiary. He was formerly pres
ident of bogus livestock insurance
company at Atchison, and was sent
to the penitentiary for the fraudulent
use Of the mails. He claimed that
his enemies were prosecuting, and, to
test his standing in the community,
announced himself as a candidate for
State Senator. He received 500 votes.
Upon his release from prison Reynolds
wrote book about penitentiaries Of
Kansas and Missouri. Itwas entitled
"Twin Hells." Reynolds cleared
about $4,000 on the sale Of the book,
but the money went as fast as he got
it. Two years ago he took the lecture
platform in the interest OF prison re-
form. He kept up six months and
then his mind went wrong.

Under Setting Hens

The blind tiger people all over the
State have resorted to all kinds OF
schemes, devices, plans, wrinkles, etc.,
but never before has one of them re.
sorted to frizzlcs in order to conceal
their stock in trade until yesterday.
And that the frizzles brought into play
should be on setting hen seem a
little unique.
The constables have long been
watching man named Gibson, sus.
pecting him being a walking ''blind
ttiger"-one of those fellows who carry
their bottles in their pockets and sup
ply their patrons on the spot. Yes
terday they became convinced that he
was doing this kind Of business, so
they went down to his place and made
complete search. In valise they
found several pint bottles. The rest
of it was found in hen nest under a
setting hen-two half-pint bottles OF
whiskey. Whether Gibson expected
the hen to hatch several barrels Of
whiskey out of each of these small
bottles does not appear. Anyway, he
was arrested and locked up. He gave
bond and obtained his release in the
afternoon.
The constables are jubilant that
they have found ''nest of whiskey'
at last.-COlumbin State.

Edlth's Marriage Portion.

It is now announced that her father,
John D. Rockefeller, is going to settle
upon her at the time of her marriage
only s1,OOO,O00. For several weeks
it has been noised around that Edith
was going to outshine the Gould girl,
who married a count, by about 2 to l !;
that her portion would not be less
than s35 5000, 900, and indeed that is
said to be her prospective inheritance !;
but her papa proposes to let her pro-
spective husband marry her for what
she is, plus bcggardly 100000.
But we are glad to hear that the en-
gagement will not be broken on this
account. Edith is going to marry a
man of more account than count.
Harold Mccormick, Of Chicago, is no
pauper himself, and by prudent man
agement Harold and Edith will be
able to get along as nicely as if they
were in better circumstances.
Of course, it is a hard blow to Edith
to be turned out Of her fathers $ home
with only s1,OOO,OOO to begin house
keeping on, but it may be just the
discipline she needs. She may yet
live to thank her father'for having
made her plan and economize for her
self. Anyhow, it won t hurt her bit.
Many young couple have gone to
housekeeping with less money in the
bank than she will have, and some OF
them have done quite we'll. If she were
going to marry a duke or count it
would be different, but she isn't; she
is going to marry man.-Detroat

A Model Will.

In this day Of contested wills and
wills which arc palpably unjust it is
pleasant to find one which all good
men can approve, one which will stand
without question in every court OF law
and morals.
Such will was left by the late Wal
ter @. Gresham. 1t is SO brief that we
give it in it's entirety as follows:
"I, Walter @. Gresham, do hereby
make this my last will and testament.
1 give, devise and bequcath to my wife,
Matilda Gresham, all my estate, prop:
erty and effects, real and personal, and
of every kind and description, and
whcresover situate, to have and hold
absolutely. l appoint my said wife
executrix of this will" F."
This brief document gives an insight
into one Of the noblest things about
Judge Gresham, his beautiful family
life. He was in all respects mode
citizen. The most crucial test Of true
manhood is given by his conduct a
home. There Judge Gresham was th'
ideal man. His home was ever to hin
and to every member Of his household
place of perfect Joy. He was such
husband and father as every mar
should be. That is more to his credl
than all the record of his public hon

Something That a Boy should Know

A boy said: GLOW hard it is to do
right! I've tried and tried, and there's
no use trying any longer.
But one day, after reading his Bible,
he said: "Why, I've been trying to
change myself all the time, and here |
read that only God can change me. l
can no more change my heart than a
colored man can make himself white.
How foolish l have been not to ask
Him.
And he was right. Are you trying
to change your own heart? You can
never do it. 1t will get worse and
worse until you ask Jesus TO give you
a new heart.

ne Judge Murphy said when an. ap!
pication was made some years in the
Goldenson case for a change of venue
representations had been made by
the defendant much stronger than in
the Durrant case. The Supreme
Court had upheld the ruling denying
the application Of Goldenson, which
left hiw no doubt on the wisdom of
trying Durrant in San Francisco.
He gave the defense the right to re-
new the motion at a future time. The
Judge said he considered some publ
cations had been improper and tend
ing to arouse feeling against the
party accused and make it difficult to
secure proper jurors. He condemned
the proposed play as an. outrage
against decency, and said he would
take steps to prevent the proposed
production during the trial or while
the case was pending in the Superior
Court. After brief recess the ex-
animation of jurors began. It is OK.

The Silver Debate.

CHICAGO, July S5.-In the Horr-
Harvey silver debate this afternoon
Horr began by saying that the 412k
grain silver dollars coined between
the years Of 1853 and 1873 we're all
coined at the Philadelphia MINT and
from foreign silver coins which had
accumulated in the treasury under
the act Of Congress which made
them receivable but did not permit
them to be paid out again. That was
why silver was coined at less than the
bullion value. After 1853 the Gov
eminent did not coin a dollar of our
silver for private. owners. g..
Harvey in reply denied the state
ment and said he could not prove it..
He presented the mint statement
showing that over 100000 in silver
dollars had been coined at the Mint
at Carson City, Nevada, in 1870.
Harvey then resumed the discussion
of the question of primary and credit
LIZ bdlu 6OOu us Gu0T0 was
an over issue of credit money it caus-
ed distrust of the Governments
| ability to pay. This caused run on
the treasury for the redemption of
credit money and the only remedy
was to either increase the amount of
primary money, or decrease of the
amount of credit money.
The amount of gold was estimated
at from s4OO.OOO,OOO to 100000, 600
and of our credit money about 800.
100000.
This was too much credit money, he
said, and accounted for the countly'e
financial arrangement. The remedy
was to increase the primary, money
by remonetiZing silver. Every mo-
ment's delay would endanger. the
