Kansas Notes.


More Eureka people visit Europe
than any other people in Kansas.
They go with large shipments Of
cattle.
The joint keepers at Hutchinson sell
whisky to boys and hibitual drunk
ards, and trouble is threatened.
Rev. Miss Brant of Crawford county
has made application for the position
of chaplain of the Hutchinson reform
school. She is an ordained minister
of the Universalist church, though she
started out in life as an artist.
The marriage of Mr.. Spatz at Lyons
will no doubt be followed by some of
those little ones, which are the natural
consequence of every matrimonial ALI
ance, no matter how peaceful it
may be.
The regular monthly weather report
by Chancellor f. ii. Snow of Kansas
university, says that the past month
has been remarkable for its high mean
temperature, which was higher than
that Of November, and which has been
exceeded by only three Defenders in
twenty-nine years.
In evidence of the good health which
prevails among the children in the
Soldiers Orphans home at Atchison,
the Globe relates that six years ago
Superintendent Faulkner set apart
building for a hospital and placed kind
ling in the stove ready to be lighted
when a patient should be received.
The kindling is still there and has
never been lighted.
The marriage of Miss Hub at Atchi-
son suggests the hilarious thought
that when she stood up for her felloe
and the preacher spoke, one wheel of
matrimony was ready to turn--at least
until it was tired.
Mrs, Nancy Nolan is the name of
refined and intelligent woman who
was last week removed to the insane
asylum from Pleasanton. OF all the
delusions ever born in the brain of in
sanity she possesses one of the most
horrible. She believes that she has
the heart and liver of her husband in
a glass jar and that all of her neigh
bors are conspiring to take them
from her.
Charles Hill, 17-year old boy of
Efingham, was killed in the cyclone at
st. Louis last June, and his mother did
not hear of it until last week. The
boy ran away from home early last
spring, and nothing was afterward
heard of him. His mother, Mrs. Eliz-~
abeth Warner, recently won a suit for
damages against the Santa Fe road for
killing her first husband, Charles Hill,
at Nortonville, six years ago In or
der to settle up the estate she was
compelled by law to give the where
abouts of the deceased's children. She
went to Nortonville, to inquire of
friends there about her son, and found
from copy of the St. Louis Globe
Democrat that the boy had been killed
in the st. Louis cyclone.
Suit has been commenced in Topeka
to stop the collection of two notes,
each for 81, 500, which were transferred
to the bondsmen of A. d. Hubbard by
his mother. 1t will be remembered
that Hubbard was a defaulter as re-
ceiver of the Hamilton- Snow printing
plant in the sum of $4,000. Before the
amount was known, however, the poor
old mother put up her little fortune,
which is entirely comprised of these
two secured notes, for the purpose Of
keeping her son out of the peniten-
tiary. It is not sufficient to make good
the theft, and the prospects are that
the son will go to the penitentiary
anyway, so the mother brings suit
to recover her notes Kansas City

in receipt of a letter from Germany,
addressed to Lady Antoinette L. Has
kell, Mayor, Gaylord, Kansas, U. S.

Atchison Globe: Corn is selling at
places in western Kansas at 81 CENTS
There is such a demand for corn to
crib that ear corn is worth more than
shelled corn; ordinarily shelled corn
brings more, as it costs cent bushel
to shell it. A few years ago the farm
ers received 6 cents bushel from their
neighbors for hauling corn to the rail
road; they are certainly not receiving
as much for their corn now as it cost
them to raise it.
Presiding Elder Lowther of the Win
field district, in his church paper, the
Christian Herald, advertises for "a
pastor who can preach like an angel,
raise the dead, call out the stay-at'
homes, stop the mouths of grumblers,
keep up the finances, have revival
and live on wind"
Mrs. e. e. Harris of Cuba, Republic
