Pops Don't Want Watson to Speak
in Kansas.

The Topeka Co-operator, state or
gan Of the Populists, is indignant at
the arrangements made for Tom
Watson. 1t says; tom Watson,
the able and patriotic Populist states
man, our candidate for vice president,
will make q visit to Kansas unless
prevented by Chairman Breidenthal
and his Democratic-Sewall combina-
ton. The actions Of Mr.. Breidenthal
in regard tc this matter within the
last few days are very suspicious.
He is evidently trying to prevent in
some degree the Populists Of Kansas
from seeing their candidate for vice
president, 1t is reported that he will
fix his meetings in one locality for all
day and have him make night trips
to the place Of his next meeting"
He will speak at Girard tomorrow,
lola Friday and Abilene Saturday. 1t
is doubtful II he can get here by after
noon Of that day.

children.
Grandma Bert is II years old and
has 5 daughters living and son and
a daughter dead. She has 46 grand
children and 2S great grand children.

GUS supper and other entertaining
features. At 5 o'clock all went home
feeling it had been good to be there.

to be expected from his Democratic
proclivities, is for free silver and may
be induced to make a speech before
he goes home.

an unpleasant experience on the night
Of Sept. 4. Mr.. Brechbill writes;
I'VE camped last night neara large
stone school house. During the night
a light hurricane struck us, carrying
away our tent and we were obliged to
take refuge inside the building. The
storm was terrific and we had to
prop the door with benches. In the
morning every sign Of our camp was
gone. We found bed clothes, pieces
OF furniture, knives and forks, etc.,
scattered in every direction. All
that remained OF our stove was one
lid, the rest being taken SO far that
we were unable to find it. Our wagon
was found lying upside down in a
rayine 40 rods away. 1t is complete
wreck. We are left here without any
extra clothes, food, or means Of trav-
cling"
Many friends Of these gospel work
ers will no doubt send relief as soon
as possible.

CAVALRY HEADQUARTERS.
Fort Riley Has Greater Things in
Pr0speCt.


The handsome military post, Fort
Riley, which Abilene people so enjoy
visiting will have $4,000 expended
on it this year an appropriation for
that sum having been agreed on by
congress. 1t will also be known
as Cavalry Headquarters" The
Guidon says; This title was recently
applied to Fort Riley, and from
present indications 1t was not mis-
placed, for It appears in the near
future we are to have four more
troop, ordered here, making twelve
in all. Beyond doubt we have the
best facilities in the United States for
the maneouvering Of mounted men
Smoky Hill bottom alone alfording
room for the drilling Of 5000 mounted
men. Four more troops could easily
be ordered here without detriment to
any other post. For instance, two
troops could well be spared from both
Fort Robinson and Fort Meade with
out detriment to either post, and a
great advantage would accrue here
in the shape Of reducing the dispro-
portions caused by three light bat
teries being paraded with only eight
troops Of cavalry" At the fall field
to commence Oct. 3, 600
troops from IT. Leavenworth will be
present.

THE COMING OF TOM WATSON.

Watson is coming to Kansas! Great
Heavens, what spectacle! Watson
in Kansas where the Populist party is
in the hands Of a Democratic receiver!
Where there is not one solitary Popu-
list running on the electoral ticket;
in Kansas where the Populists traded
the electoral vote for Tom Watson off
for the Democratic votes for the
state ticket; in Kansas where even the
Populists admit that their state
ticket will be defeated and they have
been sold out body and pantaloons.
Watson in Kansas is spectacle that'll
make Banquo at the feast felicitous;
that would, by comparison, make
Hamlet's fathers ghost Jester in the
Kings court, spectacle that could
be equaled only by the ghost Of the
lamented Colonel Leonidas Polk dash
ing into the Democratic headquarters
crying for the key to the sub
treasury. Tom Watson in Kansas!
Suffering Moses, what sight! Who
will greet himP viii Breidenthal
step out Of the Democratic head
quarters, where he and the Demo-
cratic chairman sit side by side under
q picture Of Banker Sewall OF Maine
will Breidenthal greet WatsonP
Will Governor Lewelling, who is run
ming on a Democratic ticket and
dares not declare that he is Popu-
list-will he greet Watsonp Will the
Kansas Populist editors who walked
out Of the Populist convention be-
cause resolution was passed declar-
ing in favor Of straight, old-fashion-
ed, Populist, middle-of-the-road tick
et-will they rush up to Watson
while their papers are supporting
Sewall electors? Watson in Kansas
can only hang around the backyard,
peep through the kitchen window in
the night, and sneak off like poor
Enoch Arden seeing his children bear
ing another mans name and the wife
of his bosom deep in another mans
affections. As well might the prodi-
gal son return to find his father
murdered, his mothers bones at auc-
ton and the other brother swapping
the fatted calf "sights unseen for

bone yard. Great balls of fire. What
a flood of "bitter burning tears will
sizzle down the draws, gulches and
ravines of Tom Watson's ample
cheek as he witnesses the Kansas
spectacle!
The coming Of Tom Watson will
create as much CONSERVATION in Kan
sas as would the appearance Of the
avenging angel in the den OF the For
ty Thieves!-[Emporia Gazette.

- Care May KILL"

Care killed a cat" says the old
saw. Whether that signifies that
even the traditional nine lives may
be sacrificed to worry, or whether
such placid animal as puss might
also be brought to an untimely end
by brooding over the responsibilities
attending on her numerous progeny.
we know not, but that "care may
Kill" is the moral that it behooves
everybody to remember. Nearly
every latent disease is aggravated by
worry, and many maladies may be
brought on by no other cause; vet
many American women who travel
leagues in search of health, who sub
NIT to the most torturing operations,
and oftentimes doom themselves to a
painful and wearisome existence, in
finitely trying TO themselves and to
others, might undoubtedly have been
spared years of suffering, if i'm the
beginning they had cultivated the
philosophic mind and cheerful dis
position.
Every woman may have her indi-
vidual mind cure" if she chooses
to exercise the will power that is
given to every one to greater or less
extent-enahling one to throw off
immediate cares and to find pleasure
in something within our reach.
saw Jack the other day." said
one Wall Street man to another
Z" he looks ten years younger, and
seems as happy as a school-boy."
Why, L thought he lost all his
money while ago." answered the
other.
$50 he did," said Number One.
" And it is just that that has appar-
emily agreed with him so we'll. He
used to be thin and careworn and ir-
ritable, and now he is stout and smil-
ing and happy. He has kept his
teeth and his hair and looks younger
than any of us. He has some small
position on railroad, travels most
of the time, lives in his portmanteau,
looks we'll dressed and comfortable
and says that as long as he has five
dollars in his pocket he has not care
in the world"
What agonies of mind mother
endures, for instance, over evils that
never happen, possible accidents and
illnesses that amount to nothing
What causeless apprehensions the
fathers and bread winners suffer
about their affairs-all so useless, and
yet so injurious to health and spirits
Perhaps the most senseless worry
In the world is the daily and harass-
ing anxiety which so many women
actually cultivate about servants and
ordinary household cares. It sounds
absurd to hear a well-tO-do rnatrop
groan and complain over the respon-
sibilities which really constitute her
state and her comfort, and of which |
she would be 10th, indeed, to be de.
prived-crumpled roseleaves of an
existence which is in reality most
luxurious. Trouble is sure to come |
to all sooner or later. and there is no
use borrowing trouble from an un-
known future. Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof.

SLEEPING.

Inc violet eyes lie shaded deep.
beneath the white lids closing:
Ihe cheeks flushed faint with ROSY sleen
The dimpled hands reposing-
Inc sweet red lips held half apart
smiles coming and retreatinp:
God bless and keep the little heart.
within the white breast beating,
AS baby sleeps.
The tiny, restless, busy feet
Lie still in cradle nesting
Ihe clinging arm, full, white and sweet
Upon the pillow resting:
close out the burst of noise and glare
Harsh sound, and harsher seeming
And let the soft, sweet summer air
Float gently through his dreaming,
AS baby sleeps.
And life and time go hurrying on,
Their varied meshes weaving
ana heaven is lost, and heaven is won,
~, Ana JOY gives place to grieving
Inc summer comes, the summer flies.
And brings the autumn's glory
While still my darling's violet ewes
repeat the same old story
That baby sleeps.
L sit and muse, while yet apace
Inc future years are winging,
Ana tnlnk what gifts of love and grace
,y ihelr hidden hands are bringing;
What paths the little feet NAV tread,
What works the hands be moulding
What crown awaits my darling's head
When heart and soul, unfolding,
No longer sleep.
Ahl Hope has many a fairy theme,
F1om her sweet lips unfolding,
And life has many a golden dream,
That some fond heart is holding:
But none so glad as those that rise.
In light and beauty blending,
10 shine before a mothers eyes,
Above the cradle bending,
While baby sleeps.

CASABICRANKA.


The girl sat on the baseball stand
All but her beau had fled,
And he, poor chap, could not demand
Relief from what she said.
"Why does the pitcher throw it SO -
She murmured in dismav:
Such actions violent, YOU know.
His awkward moves display.
Why does he so expectorate
Upon the snOw-white ball ?
Was he not taught until too late
That that 8 not nice at all?
Why does that fellow don a cage
And let his voice resound
In cries of Strike = awak ming rage
In those upon the ground ?
Why do the runners always fall
And slide upon their face;
Or else-they do not care at all
Upon some other place?
Why do people murmur Rank p
He has no rank, 'tis PLAIN
Why does that player, lean and lank,
Seem in such awful pain?
Why does the catcher wear that pad
Close to his bosom pressed ?
And why has not the other had
His clothes cut like the rest &?
Why does that player SWING the wood
In such reckless way,
And question, as no good man should
What those behind him say?
Why do the men such colors wear
But here she turned her head,
And then at last became aware
Her escort had dropped dead.

WHICH.-Talleyrand had the wit
which enabled him to retire grace
fully from an embarrassing situation.
Once, at dinner, he sat between
Madam Recamier, the celebrated
beauty, and Madam de Stael, whose
beauty was not that of the person.
Talleyrand poured forth compli-
ments, first to one lady, and then to
the other, until Madam de Stael sud-
denly asked him if she and Madam
Recamier fell into the river, which
of the two he would save. "Ah,
madam, you can swim !" promptly
answered the wit.
But there Is no bon mot which can
not be capped by one equally witty,
and Mrs. Jameson, in her 'Common-
place Book reports this witticism,
which she thinks far prettier than
Tallyrand's: "Prince s., whom |
