leaven was renewed with freshly
scraped potatoes three times during the
voyage on the sailing packet that

she found employment as cook In n
Boston boarding house she took this
yeast along and kept it alive and Wig

into 100000 or more. but there is no
drnger oi her marrying any young
and ardent lover, for she is now in her
sercnty-fifth year, says Pennsylvania
Grit. Then the old woman is blind and
has been blind ever since she was II.
Recently her brother died in California
and left her big fortune, which she
purposes to spend in the amelioration
OF the suiferings of her fcllow-afflic
kind. Miss Holmes lives in n quiet and
pretty street in Jersey City, and for 25
years she has struggled through de-
cent poverty. Her brother in Califor-
Iia has. always looked after her wants,
but Miss Holmes Pride would not al
low him to support her, and she has
earned her own living we'll through the
years of her solitude. Early in life
she conceived love for music, and al
though deprived of her sight she man
uscd to master that difficult art. Once
that she became proficient she desired
TO teach. And, strange to say, she was
quite as proficient as u teacher MS she
was as Il performer. She found she
could succeed with pupils who had their
eyes as well as with pupils who had not.
And in that way she supported her
self. If not in elegance. ut least in COM
tort Now that Miss Holmes has been
rendered independent, she will devote
her money to the education of her feb
lows who are afflicted with blindness.

SINCE VICTORIA WAS CROWNED.

There Have Been Great Social Re
forms and Wonderful Inventions.
Great social reforms belong to Queen
Victoria's reign, writes William George
Jordan i'll Ladies' Home journal, mar
rating the progress of the world since
Queen Victoria asccnded the throne
60 years ago. The degrading practice
of logging has been abolished in the
armies and navies of America and Eng
land. Children are no longer permitted
to work in the mines of Britain. Press
gangs no longer force men into tho
service of the queens navy. The Red
Cross society, approved by 40 nations,
has softencd the horror of war. The
transportation of criminals, with it's
many evils. has been suppressed. En-
ecutions. are no longer conducted in
public. The treatment of criminals has
become humane. Factory laws and
building acts make life easier for the
poor.
Inventive science has made marvellous
progress in every department during
Victoria's GO years MS queen. Cantilevcr
bridges have surprised the world.
Traxel has been wonderfully quicllcncd
by street cars, cabs, trolleys, cable cars,
elevated roads and other triumphs of
invention. In 1897 there were no tyne
writer's, no passenger elevators, no mod
ern bicycles, no soda-watcr fountains,
no horselcss carriages, no chemical fire
eXtinguishcrs, no ironclads, no perfect
Ing presses. Fully chroniclng the in
ventiye progress of the last six decades
would make it seem as if nothing of
real consequence To mans comfort had
been done before 1887.

Crop Outlook.

For several years past we have been
waiting for, and expecting favorable
crop season, holding on as it were to
the willows. Each recurring season
our hold on said willows has become
weaker, until many of US have almost
lost our grip. With light crops and
failure and low prices for what
little We did raise, there is nothing
unnatural that many Of us have
become discouraged, and are almost
ready to give up the struggle 10 de-
spalr, and no doubt would have done
so, but for hope that is said to "spring
eternal in the human SOUL" While
"hOpe long delayed makes the heart
faint" "Don't give up the ship"
Hope on, hope ever, keep hoping,
without hope mans condition in this
world or hereafter, would not be
pleasant to contemplate. Through all
this adversely Of crop failure, low
prices and financial distress, we shall
have learned to be less prOdigal and
to realize to some extent our de-
pendence on divine providence. l
have the utmost confidence that we
shall(as the motto Of our great state
AID astra per aspera) emerge through
these difficulties, not to the stars
perhaps, but to better times.
The ground is thoroughly saturated,
could not be better for the spring
planting, wheat never in aner con.
dition, fruit prospects are excellent,
where the trees are healthy. Never
before at this time of the year, do /
remember TO have seen the ground in
better condition than now, the 5th of
March. Cheer up brother farmers we
are going to have an all round crop
season. G. W. BAILEY.

WELLINGTON KANSAS THURSDAY I 1897
A County High School Secured.

The bill providing for county high
school in Wellington has passed both
houses Of the legislature and has re-
ceived the governors signature. 1t
provides that the county commits
sioners shall levy tax to support a
county high school, and that the city
of Wellington or its board of educa-
tiOn shall provide suitable building
for holding the same.
Each school district in the county
will be taxed to support the school,
and farmers will be allowed to send
their children to high school in this
city without being compelled to pay
a tuition fee. The Third ward school
building was erected for high school
purposes, and will accommodate every
high school student in the county.
There is ample room for six hundred
scholars in the building, but it is not
probable that an attendance of more
than three hundred will be had very
soon.
The city is not crowded for school
room. There are two idle rooms in
the First ward school, four in the
Fourth and two in the Fifth, 50
there will be no trouble In clearing
the Third ward building solely fol
high school purposes, should it be-
come necessary.
The institution of a county high
school in Wellington is good thing
for the city, TO say nothing Of the in.
creased educational facilities that
will be afforded. 1t will necessitate
the employment Of additional teachers
and bring scholars from every town.
ship and city in the county. The
school will, in all probability, be CON-
bined with the city high school and
left under the control Of this school
district. By combining the two high.
er branches, both will be benefited
to a great extent and the school here
will become one ot the foremost in
the state.

So many horses have been affected by
what is commonly known as pink-eye
in Sherman county, that o. P. Hulse,
who is an expert on such cases, has
given the matter some consideration.
He thinks the disease is not pink EYE,
but is caused from overfeeding. The
hay this fall contains about twice as
much wheat as usual, hence overfeed-
ing is easily done. Hot and dusty drives
with irregular watering, has much to do
with bringing on the disease.

trouble in each instance. Means is in
