MoRRILL's GOOD ADVICE.


ABILENE, Nov. 30.-Frank Van Dorm
of Abilene, whose pardon from the peni-
Tertiary by Governor Morrill, has been
announced, has written to the governor
thanking him for his clemency. Reply
ing, Governor Morrill, in part said ~
was very much pleased with the express
sion of your intention to lead a true,
honorable, manly life. Your experience
has indeed been a bitter one but you
have it in your power to make
it the most valuable lesson OF
your life. Thera is only one safe
course to pursue-be absolutely honest in
everything; show TO the world by your
conduct that you can be trusted, and it
will soon place confidence in you. It
does not take long for an honest, upright,
straightforward man to gain the conf
dence of those with whom he is aesocia-
ted. It takes far less time to lose it. No
one can make or unmake you but your
self. Whatever you are to be in the
coming years of your life, and I trust
that they may be many, will depend
upon yourself"

NOrristOwn offsets to a Removal of Gan
eraI Hancock's Body.


YOUNGSTOWN, Pa, Nov. 3O.-A dis
patch, stating that the old Second Army
Corps had gained the consent of the rela-
tives of General Winfield Scott Hancock
to remove his remains from the mauso-
leum in Montgomery cemetery to Airing
ton, has created much Indignation in this
vicinity, and it is freely stated that such
a removal ought not to be permitted.
Some months ago the reported remov-
ing of the body of Norristown's dis
tinguished military hero created SINH
lar impression. At that time the mauso-
leum was rapidly going to decay. but on
Surgeon General Lewis w. Read of this
place promising to have it placed in re-
pair it was decided to let the dead rest
where he, when living, had expressed a
desire to be inferred. The contract for
this work was awarded to George w.
Smith. and this work is now almost CON-
pleted DR.. Read having decided to pay
for it out of his own purse.

HOW IT FAILED.
Why Medicine Lodge is Not a
Whisky Metropolis.
Instead of Just Chester /. Longs
Town.
ALCOHOL SUPPRESSED.
Professor Dyche Figuring on a
North Pole Trip.
Gov. Morrill's Good Advice to a
Pardoned Convict.

WICHITA, Nov. 30.-Colonel Huffman
was telling some of his friends yesterday,
as they sat around the bright open fire in
the Office of the internal revenue collec-
tor, that Chester I. Longs town. Medi-
cine Lodge, was as dead as a door nail.
And then Colonel Huffman told how a
sugar plant was established at Medicine
Lodge, and the farmers in that section
commenced to plant cane, but while it
was demonstrated that superior quality
of sorghum could be raised there it was
also shown by actual experiment that
sugar could not be manufactured at a
profit under the Wilson bill.
Last spring the owners of the sugar
plant at that place took notion to close
it so far as making sugar was concerned,
and they kept sixty five barrels of syrup
and experimental on making alcohol,
and to their surprise the experiment
demonstrated that one gallon of the
syrup would make one gallon of alcohol
with 1879 test. when $50 is the govern
ment standard.
The revenue collector explained
that an article of alcohol standing that
test was very valuable and beat the
manufacture of sugar clear out of
sight for big profit. He said that the
company applied for a government
license to distil alcohol from sugar cane
and that he went down and made the
necessary survey and everything was
all right to start the distillery on large
scale. The company intended to manu-
facture alcohol at Medicine Lodge and
establish depot in Missouri to sell their
product SO as not to violate the prohibit
tory law of Kansas.
The Women;s Christian Temperance
union told the men who owned the sugar
plant that they would pull them every
day in the week if they attempted to
manufacture alcohol at Medicine Lodge.
And that is the way great manufactur-
ing enterprise failed to materialize and
now the little town of Medicine Lodge
sends to Missouri for its alcohol.

SHOCKING AFFAIR.

Hotel Waiter Piled With Dragged
L:quOr-Ons Worry Sick Woman.
A young Topeka woman ia lying
very i'll as the result of Thanksgiving
night escapade, while young man who
holds prom inent Office position is wait
ing anxiously for her recovery.
Those who were on Kansas avenue as
late as 10 o'clock Thanksgiving evening
were astonished to see two policemen
chasing a staggering, Keeling young
woman who was tempting to run.
They started to follow at Fourth street,
and caught her between Fifth and Sixth.
She was out of her head and in a sorry
plight.
She was supported to the station and
physician sent for. Part of the time she
was unconscious and at others she raved
in pitiful manner, exclaiming almost
necessarily, you made me drink it. you
made me drink i'll"
After working with her until nearly 2
o'clock, she was taken to her friends.
She is still there bedfast, but will prob
ably recover.
The beginning of this pitiful story is
as follows: The young lady in question
is one of two mattresses who went to
North Topeka Thanksgiving evening in
company with young men. They walked
out in the western part of the town by
the building which used to contain
BedwelPs asylum. Here after drinking
awhile the girl who was more accustom-
ed to these things left, while the limo
cent one remained alone with her com
panion.
Ever since a great sorrow came into
her family this young lady has been sub
ject TO epilepsy and at times has been
considered ''queer." After drinking
whisky for a time she was seized with a
fit and her escort was almost completely
''psralyzed' by the drug store
coucoction. When the girl came out of
her condition with shattered nerves and
reeling brain she started running for
home, and it was at Fourth street, after
coming all the way from the North side
that she was found.
The young man was found lying
where he had fallen near the old asylum.
A humane person came along, saw him
there and took him to a lodging house
near by and put him to bed.
1t might be said that four young ladies
from the same hotel expected to take
part in this spree, but TWO of them were
disappointed
1t is suggested that it would be wise
thing for the hotel in question to reor-
ganize its force of waiter girls. If male
boarders set out to drvg and mislead
young girls it is time to either fire the
boarders or the girls. Stricter rules in
relation to waiter girls being out after
night should be enforced at all hotels
where they ara employed.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 30.-In letter to the
Horseman, Colonel John G. Taylor of ST.
Louis, the owner of Joe Patchen, has
this to say of the greatest PAGER ever
seen in this country.
81 notice in one of the last numbers of
your paper an interview with Orrin
Hickok. in which he says Joe Patchen
has ssen his best days, is now stiff and
sore, and he knows he wound up the sea-
son last year just the same way. Now,
the facts are, Joe Patchen never took a
stiff or sore step in his life, and that he
closed the season of 1894 in fine form. as
at the first start of the season the records
will prove by his mile on the
San Antonio half-mile track in Decem-
Der in 2:09, and his race at Houston
the following week in 2:07-last half
in 1:02, over slow, rough track. The
last week in December ne was shipped
to California, and with one days rest
from six days shipment. drove Robert
J. out in three heats in better than 2:07
on slow track. Then he beat Robert
j. at Fresno in February, the race of
his life; and this Hickok says he was
stiff and sore. 1t is great pity some of
the great 4 ANS have nothing like this
old skate that is stiff and sore. At the
request of some of my friends l let up
on Patchen after his race at Sioux City.
He has had no work since, and he put
on fifty pounds of Hest in four weeks.
He has not pimple on him, and NJ. E.
McHenry told me a very few days ago
he was better than ever, only short of
work, and McHenry believes, as l do, he
will be a better horse next year than
