Always Complaining.
There's lot o. complainin'
From folks when it's rainin',
An some when the weather Is dry;
Jest grumble an grumble
For tempests to tumble
The rain from the clouds in the sky.
It's hard to content 'em;
No matter what's sent 'em,
They wrangle and worry about;
An one seat in heaven
Would makn 'em want seven,
II the saints didn't hustle EN- out!

Prayer.
Lord. send thy light,
Not only In the darkest night,
But in the shadowy. dim twilight.
Wherein my strained and aching sight
Can scarce distinguish wrong from right
Then send thy light.
Teach me to pray,
Not only in the morning gray,
Or when the moonbeam's silver ray
Falls on me. but at high noon day.
When pleasure beckons me away,
Teach me to pray.

There is much uneasiness felt in this city

Hole. The Indians, however have sent
across the range to the head of Green

LAW AFARCE AT WICHITA
When JOintists are Caught They are Not
Convicted.

WICHITA, July 19-Matt Wall, the
jointist who was arrested on the 18th
inst. for selling liquor in violation of the
prohibitory law, has been tried and &C
quilted. The policeman who made the
arrest stated upon his oath he saw Wall
sell beer to two men. Wall swore that
he did not sell any liquor, and the alleged
purchaser of the beer testified that he
did not buy any. The city attorney re-
trained from making an argument and
the judge ruled that the evidence was
insufficient to warrant a conviction.
Special Importance attaches to the trial
from the fact that Wall, who is reputed
to be wealthy, had previously made
boasts that he could violate the law with
impunity. The prohibitionists regard
the trial as a farce. At English and
Alderman parks, and at a place in the
packing house district, beer gardens are
running wide open. The police COM
mission disclaim jurisdiction over these
localities, while county authorities show
no disposition to interfere.
Goaded by the Eagles persistent oppo-
sition, prohibitionists are making over
lures looking to the establishment of a
morning paper here that they may have
an opportunity to air their opinions of
the prohibition question. It is rumored
that Colonel H w. Lewis is to have di-
torial charge of the paper should it be
started

HEROISM KANSAS BOY
Cadet Lands of Barber County Saves q
Fellow Annapolis Cadets Life.

Cadet Lands of Barber County Saves
Fellow Annapolis Cadets Life.
MEDICINE LODGE, July 18.-A copy of
the Annapolis Capital has been received
here which relates an act of heroism by
Cadet Irving Lands, in which he saved
a companion from drowning. Cadet
Lands is a Barber county boy. son of
Senator Lands, Populist The account
of the affair says:
The third and fourth crews of cadets
were practicing on the broad Severn
aboard the little steam launches of the
academy, and it happened that launch
No 3, the one destined to play an i'm
portant part ERE the morning, was in
charge of Cadet Herndon of Texas. The
launch also carried Cadets Boyd, Lands,
Day, Graeme and Jensen. Towards the
close of the drill Lieutenant Doyle had
a "wig- wag" signal sent to the launch,
ordering her to come in.
Cadet Boyd, flag in hand, jumped on
the side of the boat to read the message,
but as she was rolling quite heavily in
the swell of the river, and he was intent
ly atching the signal from the other
boat, he missed his footing and fell al
most backward into the water. Without
an instants hesitation, Cadet Lands with
that cool nerve and magnificent heroism
that has ever marked the sons of the west
in moments of danger, plunged over
board and by dint of wonderful exer-
tons, succeeded in getting his almost
exhausted companion to the boat To
the fact that Cadet Lands is accounted
the best swimmer at the academy may
be attributed the rescue of Cadet Boyd
from drowning.

Wheat opened easier this morning on
better crop prospects in the northwest
and lower cables. The September option
opened about cent lower with the crowd
hammering it numerically but after
they had pounded on it nearly
half an hour without any effect they
ceased selling and the market gained
strength at once, and gradually adj
vanced to $3.50, and rem aimed around
this point until a few minutes before
the close, when the bears hammered
it to 6614c, but Immediately after the
close the price bounded to 66%c bid,
and calls advanced from SIC to
Csc for tomorrow, with indications of
a bull day tomorrow. Wheat is much
cheaper at these prices than it was at 90
last spring and if bought and held will
make good profits in the near future.
Corn and oats were rather easy on good
rains over the corn belt and it looks like
sale now and will sell considerably lower
soon as the big crop is insured.
Provisions have ruled stronger and
higher all day with extremely lighter run

HOGS ON COLLEGE CAMPUS
Protest Against the Use of the Grounds of
Campbell University, Ho1ton.

HoLToN, July 1S The Holton Signal
prints the following:
A number Of citizens are complaining
that the lessees of the University are
violating the hog ordinance of the city
by having greater number of hogs in
the lot which they have built on the col
lege campus than the law allows. Out
side of the question of health it is an out
rage that the beautiful grounds
surrounding the university should
be used for such purpose,
and the grass and possibly the trees
killed out. The people are paying taxes
on $4,000 university bonds, part of the
proceeds of which was expended in
grading these grounds, setting out trees.
cutting brush and otherwise beautifying
the same. The directors should call the
lessees to account for they have no more
right, in our opinion, to use the college
campus as a hog corral than they have
to use the college building for a corn
crib or slaughter house.

Chicago: There is nothing in the crop
