has genuine female ghost which makes
its appearance in the best portion or
the city and on Friday night the afore-
said ghost arrayed in white female ap-
parel was seen by at least score OF per-
sons in the vicinity of d street and
Walnut avenue. In speaking of his ex-
perience and the reason for the chang
ing OF his faith, Mr.. Chipohase said:
ION Friday evening / was sitting IN
front of one Of the hotels trying to get
breath OF fresh air. There was in the
crowd a passenger conductor of the Mis-
souri, Pacific road, whose name canno:
call at present, but think 1t was Waits.
We were talking about the intense heat
and had little politics mixed UP with
our conversation, when two boys ap-
peared on the scene and with faces as
pale as death grabbed the conductor by
the arm
The conductor sprang to his feet and
recognizing the boys as neighbors
begged them to tell what had happened.
1t was some time before the boys could
speak and they only could say ghost
Immediately a crowd of fifteen or
sixteen men started in pursuit Of the
ghostess and on arriving at the home
OF the conductor found his wife almost
scared to death. The woman said that
she had seen the ghost and that II aO-
preached within a few feet OF her be
fore she knew II was around and she got
full view of the figure and although
badly scared had woman-like taken time
TO see that her dress MAS cut after pat
tern worn some fifteen years ago
'sThe men started in pursuit, and
went with them. We formed a circle Of
es- m
near an agreed center. In about ten
minutes portion Of the party gave the
alarm that they had found the ghost
ess. and the order was 10 close in
1.-THE circle was closed in. There in
the plain street stood the ghostess IN the
plain moonlight. There was not man
in the crowd who had tasted a drop
stronger than lemonade. There was no
deception and we all felt certain that we
had captured the person who had created
such a disturbance in the city and about
which so much had been said in the pa
pers. We believed it to be human be-
ing and were closing in our ranks with
no kindly feeling.
THE figure was that Of female. 1t
was dressed in white and wore a huge
hustle. 1t was about four inches taller
than Mrs. Lease. and 1 felt certain It
was a man dressed In woman's clothing.
There were no weeds to hide the fig
ure from our view and we came on.
When about twenty-five feet from the
figure 1t stretcher out its arms, raised
them toward the sky and vanished. It
was gone but where 1t went TO no one
could tell.
II am convfced that the Arkansas City
ghost is a genuine article and would
judge that 1t would weigh about 225
pounds. I don't want to meet it and
hope it will not take it into it's head to
come to Wichita"

A GOOD THING.

The international agreement" fraud
has been exposed time and again, but
the gold papers refer to it sometimes
yet. Speaking of what the govern
ment can and cannot do to benefit the
farmers directly or indirectly, the New
York Times intimRtes that the free
coinage of silver might be of great
benefit, if it could be done with the
concurrence of all the great CONNER
cial nations of the earth-but adds that
there is nc possibility of getting that.
Now if the free coinage of silver is a
good thing, if it is needed, and it is,
would it not be a good thirg without
regard to what any other nation may
do2
O4e of the greatest absurdities, and
yet, n Of the most effective, is the
international agreement nonsense. TIE
free coinage of silver in this country
has no more to do with the finances of
the old countries than the pulling Of a
leaf from an oak tree. If an American
has turkey for dinner it does not salts
fy the hunger of an Eoglishman or
German who fails to get his dinner.
The kind Of money we make and use
does not concern a foreigner any more
than the kind of meat we eat or the
way it is cooked,
But the English and German banker
is interested. So long as this country
plays the fool the money lords can buy
our stocks, bonds, lands, railroads, fac
tories and other property at greatly re-
duced prices, as they have been doing
for some years. That is the milk in
the cocoanut.' We are playing the
fool and the other fellow, after having
bled his countrymen of all their earn
ings, reduced them to serfdom, has
money to invest, and unless we secure
a change, detnrone the foreign and
American money power, most of our
people will be crushed and reduced to
serfdOm.

PROVISIONING NEW YORK.

Feeding a City Like New York, an
article by John Gilmer Speed in Ladies'
Home Journal, presents some interest
ing and astonishing statistics. For in.
stance, Mr.. Speed declares that New
Workers consume 80, OOO, 900 dozen eggs
per year, for which they pay $14 AGO.
900; 800, 800 pounds of butter per day,
costing $18, 200, 600 per year; 297, 600
gallons of milk, 5 900 gallons of cream
and 1900 gallons of condensed milk
daily, at a yearly outlay Of $16 $50 900,
Including cheese, for which $40, O0O, 600
per year is paid, the aggregate value
of the dairy products consumed in New
York City is $44, $50, 600. Mr.. Speed
fixes the valuation of the meats of
various kinds sold to New Workers
each year at about $58, 900, 900. This
does not include poultry, from 200, 900
to 400, 600 head of which are sold week
ly. Upon a conservative estimate,

TIMELY WARNING AND CoUNsEL

The New York World, always wrong
during a campaign, always pretty near
right between campaigns, when there
is q wronged, an outraged people to ap-
pease, now comes out and admits that
the Populists and silver Democrats
we're not far from right. 1t says:
Carl Schurz and William L. Wilson
are men everywhere honored for states
manship, for absolute sincerity of
and for exalted patriotism.
1t is significant that these two men
have on the same day felt it incumbent
upon them to deliver to the country
the same strenuous message of counsel
and warning.
That message in brief in this: There
are real wrongs, real grievances, rea
expressions to be righted. Behind the
late outbreak Of Populism there was a
cause deeper than any reckless whim,
NOR earnest than a mere desire for
change. 1t would be Irrational to
suppose" Ra;d Mr.. Wilson, ell the
millions OF American voters who
massed behind the flag of free silver
were conscious advocates of repudia-
ton and disaster, OF less patriotic than
the mass of their countrymen."
The fact that Mr.. Bryan received
so large a vote as he did," says Mr..
Schurz, SIS a result which Certainly
was not owing to popular ignorance
and blind partisanship alone" but ''to
the existence of discontents not entire
ly groundless, the causes of which
should be examined with candor, care
and courage"
All this is what the World earnestly
urged upon attention early in the cam
paign. But for the existence of real
and grievous wrongs the clements of

GET A FOR IT.

The weather prophets all egree that
the coming winter is to be the coldest
on record, and that December Will
start the ball. We have heard 1t be-
fore. Now and then the weather
prophets hit the nail on the head.
But this winter will be an exception
if it does not give US some frosty
weather, and we may as we'll prepare
for it. While it is true that we have a
great deal of balmy weather. 1t IS
equally true that the climatic condl-
tions are changing so much that we
will have to change with it. 4 'ro
weather in North Carolina and forty
above zero in New Hampshire ie not
out of the Question, for such was tie
case once or twice last winter.
Ali this is fair warning that we in
the South no longer have a monopoly
of mild weather, and we must have
better houses and barns, and a plentl-
full supply Of fuel. We cannot afford
to longer depend upon the overhead
canopy for a shelter for u live stock.
They must have shelter and strong
walls to protect them from the cold
north wind. Our winters are short,
but we cannot afford to let out stock
suffer. Board up the cracks in your
barns, but leave windows for ventlla
ton when the weather is not evere.
1t has been said that the barns in the
States North of the Potomac are better
than the human habitations in the
South. This is true. The barns will
average better and are more costly
than the residences in the South. We
must have better barns Or quit farming
in the South.

THE WAVE OF PROSPERITY
WILL NOT WAVE.

Dun & Go. and Bradstreets continue
to tell fish stories about the good times,
but their business failure department.,
the real barometer of trade conditions,
knocks them out every week. Dun
says:
"When the rush of orders after the
election slackened, many began to
think business dwindling. Subsistence
Of deferred orders is not decrease of
business.
Broadly speaking, the gain has been
greater than any body expected, and it
is not surprising if a small part of it is
in excess of the present consuming de-
mand.
Reports from all parts of the u
try show clearly the enlargement of
trade, not at all points in the same
branches, but everywhere helped by &
more confident feeling, Extremes of
weather have made the work not alto
gether good for retail trade, but in that
line also there is improvement on the
whole.
"Wheat has risen over 6 cents for
the week, without material change in
foreign advices which have been on
the whole less stimulating. The most
important factor in the wheat market
is that the visible supplies do not gain
as much as has been expected.
Cotton has gained only a sixteenth.
after its considerable and the tolerable
heavy movement puts the spectators
for an advance in constant difficulties
and yet there is all the time to be re-
>memoered the fact that the crop was
nearly n month earlier than usual
and the present excitement over last
years movement may be materially
reduced thereafter. Nevertheless the
fact appears that the Northern mills
are taking much less cotton than in
previous years and the demand for
