here.
a long, long time ago, when we
first began to "take notice" and re-
member things, the gOdly neighbor-
hood of Carlyle held in particular
adherence a number of youths who
were designated collectively as ''the
criek boys" Everybody said they
were "haTd cases." If the word had
been invented they would have been
called coughs" Over in Carlyle it
was declared to be common thing to
hear these boys swear. Once in a
while vague rumOrs pervaded the
the neighbOrhOod that some Of them
had been seen fishing and hunting on
Sunday. At any rate there had been
several hours of a recent Sun
day when they were not at home
nor at church; and where were
they? And they were accused, too,
of chewing and smoking tobacco, and
of various other high crimes and
misdemeanors which in the eyes of
the good people of Carlyle placed them
outside the pale of human charity if
not beyond the reach Of Gods mercy.

made wonderful progress under the

the program rendered was one of the
best since the days of 'Old Brazier."
The full band pieces were particularly
well selected and the descriptive pieces
were delightful. C.. l.. Dickinson, of
Emporia, is an artist with the violin
and received well deserved eneores to
which he responded generously.
Miss Grace Beck played a selection as
only Miss Beck can, and Of course it
was warmly applauded. o L. Cowan
covered himself with glory by the
splendid rendition of a Baritone Solo
with band accompaniment. Taken
as 8 whole it was one of the best
musical programs given this winter
After the program some of the young

WASHINGTON, March ia sensa.
tioAxl order repudiating acts of the

front case and which probably will be
followed Immediately by the pe,emp-
tory dismissal of Silas w. Lamoreaux
Of Wisconsin, commissioner of the gen.
eral land Office, was signed by Secre-
tary of the Interior Bliss. The order
directs that all proceedings in the case
subsequent to the fling of the applica-
tion to locate Mckee scrip on the lake
front, be rescinded and annulled and it
orders q new trial before the new com.
missioner, not yet appointed. within 80
days aftor notice to all parties.
Action is based ON the purported
opinion Of Mr.. Lamoreaux given out by
him to one of the parties in interest,
three days before the time appointed
by himself for the formal announce.
ment of the decision, and the notice to
the other interested parties.
The land on which it was proposed
to locate claims by means of this scrip

dition. Ample revenue must be supplied,
not only for ordinary expenses Of the gov
ernment, but for the prompt payment Of
liberal pensions and the liquidation of the
principal and interest of the public debt.
In raising revenue duties should be SO
levied upon foreign products as to pre-
serve the home market az far as possible
to our own producers; to revive and in
crease manufactures; to relieve and en-
courage agriculture; to increase our do
mestic and foreign commerce; to aid and
develop mining and building, and to rem
der to labor in every field Of useful occu-
patton the liberal wages and adequate re-
wards to which skill and industry are just
ly entitled. The necessity of the passage
Of tariff law which shall provide ample
revenue need not be further urged. The
imperative demand Of the hour 10 the
prompt enactment Of such measure, and
to this object earnestly recommend that
congress shall make every endeavor. Be-
fore other business is transacted, let US
first provide sufficient revenue to faith
fully administer the government without
the contracting of further debt, or the
continued disturbance Of our finances.
