An Editor on Housekeeping,
IExchange.


 For the past two months our better half and baby have been visiting rela- lives, and we have been keeping house." In our two months practice and study we have discovered that women useiessly wear themselves out keeping house. We find in our experi- ence that many dollars can be saved by judicious management. To sweep carpet Oftener than once a month is wearing on the carpet aud disturbs one's rest too frequently. To sleep in a bed for two or three weeks without dist drbing it makes it's conform to the natural position of the body and sleep more restful. Food is just as nutriti. ous and wholesome when eaten from the same dishes several times as when a half hour is spent in washing them after each meal. We find it saves time to kick our old papers under the bed instead of spending twenty minutes folding them up and putting them in the paper rack. It saves fuel and coal oil to spend our evenings down town with the boys. We could go on and enumerate many economical and time saving features in housekeeping but will save our new found theories ou practical housework for our wife when she returns.

MT. Charles A. Conant, of the New York Journal of Commerce, contributes to the American Monthly Review of Reviews for August an admirable ex- position of. the new tariff law. His ar ticle is intended to tell the business man what he may expect from tbe ope- eration of the new schedules. So much of the newspaper discussion of the Din. gley bill has been warped by partisan ship that the ordinary citizen is at a loss to know the real animus of the measure or it's probable bearings on in- dividual and general interests. Mir. Conant writes with moderation and candor; his article is calculated to en- tighten the public on a topic that re- quires first of all impartiality in treat. meut,

PUTNEY VS. HABIST.
O INF ' O' IIlAUIULs 4 Prominent Wool Dealer Ar rested for Embezzlement.

The following is from the columns of
 the Albuquerque Democrat, of the 3lst inst, and narrates the particulars of the arrest of F. ". Hamm. of that city
 charged by l.. B. Putney with embezzIe- ment:
 For the pastfew weeks numerous rumors have
 been in circulation regarding certain irregular ities in the business of F W Hamm, ST.. with
 L. B Putney. MT. Hsmm left this city some weeks ago and was reported to be located fn To-
 peka for short time. Soon after his departurs
 intimations were heard that his accounts were not considered wholly satisfactory. and he was followed in a few days by George H. Brown
 bookkeeper for Mir Putney. Last Sunday Messrs Brown and Hamm returned to this city, Mir
 Hamm coming back of his own account, no pa- pers of any kind having been served upon him: The Culmination of the affair was reached today
 when B. Putney swore out complaint charg ing Mr. Hamm with embezzlement of $4OO0
 Mir Hamm was placed under arrest and bond was fixed by Judge Crawford in the amount of $5,C00 Up to a late h. UT last night the required bond had not been secured and MT Hamm was in the charge of an officer. MT. Putney was seen by the reporter last evening and stated that there was very little to be said further than the facts given above. The charge has been made on account of the failure of Mir Hamm to satis- factorily account for the proceeds of the sales of various bands of sheep which were sold by him as agent for Mir. Putney. These sales were made at various times in January up to two weeks ago yesterday. The amount of shortage charged in the complaint is understood to be somewhat below the exact figures ss shown by the accounts, MT. Hamm, when seen, stated he had at present nothing further to say in regard to his arrest than that he felt confident that in the end everything would prove to be all right At Halum has beer iu business in AlluqUer- que for some years, anJhas always borne a hTgh reputation. and been looked upon as an honest. upright man in every way.

 A half century ago a small band of people wended their way, from east of the Mississippi river. out over the prairles, and across the mountains. and after many weary months of trials, travails and tribulations, they entered the region of the great Salt Lake of Utah, where they planted 8 colony, among the then far American wllds, that they might worship God, accord ing to the dictates of their own consci- ence. The captain of the band was Brigham Young, the people were the Latter Day Saints, commonly known as Mormons.
 Their conquest of the wilds of Utah tbeiz reclamation Of the arid region to agriculture their wonderful growth in population and v altL their persecu- ----- and .-lal-, -geA the school 1aiL- dren have learned to know. Less than twenty years ago, public sentiment was so aroused against these people, that punishment and even death was advo- cated as the remedy of ridding the country of their presence, Brigham Young was painted as the arch fend who ought to be stoned, aye executed. It has been less than ten years, since 8 number of their teachers were inpris- oned. and otherwise persecuted by a misguided, mislnformed public opin. ion.
 But more recently, the work of these people have come to be partially under stood. Their honesty of belief, their thrift, integrity and the strong moral sentiment which prevailed among all of their communities, and their active support of good government.
 The country has been, during the last week celebrating the anniversary of the pilgrimage of these people, into their new home, and their achieve ments, since that time. They have de- dicated a statute to the great Apostle of the Latter Day Saints, Brigham Young," with pomp and splendor. and the country applauds the act.

Newspaper Truisms.
-p-ess Nr4 pr-rtar !

A new spaPeI without enemies IS scarcely deserving of friends. The vicious and lawless never like a bold. fearless newspaper, and every selfres- pecting editor should be proud of their enmity. First and foremost is the man who owes newspaper an honest debt and will not pay it. Then there is the ambitious mortal who wants an office and complains because the newspaper cannot consistently ch ampion his cause he is quite likely to become an emeny. The man who wants to shape the policy of the paper and is not allowed to do so is sure an enemy. But the manifest enemy of all is a man whom a news paper has befriended, and who deliber- ately condemns the sheet after securing from it all the assistance he possibly could. The newspaper can. to some extent, respect an open and avowed enemy, but an ingrate under any cir cumstances IS beneath contempt.

Japan and Hawaii.
Review of Reviews l

It is, of course, not strange that the
 Japanese have become somewhat into- xicated by the ease with which they
 defeated the Chinese. As matter of fact, the United States has always been
 Japan's best friend. The people of
 this country have hat tor J8par Che most irteusl feeling 9i ilisfsa5 sll sympathy Lf.. E1rcpeaB iasla v5t5 has beea eucocraglug Jarsu $- take an attitude Of aggression in mat ter concerning the United States and Hawaii, Japan should be warned in
 time against evil advisers. It is only
 an enemy of Japan that could give such advice. Certain London newspapers
 have asserted that the Japanese navy could readily overpower that of the
 United States, and lay waste San Fran cisco and the whole Pacific slope. But
 this merely illustrates once more the
 inVinclble ignorance of London jour nalism. Our vessels already in the Pacific and adjacent waters are more than a match for the whole Japanese navy, and would need no assistance from that large half of our naval artna- ment that is stationed Tn the Atlantic. This same element of malevolent Euro pean journalism has hinted that 1t would be an admirable thing for Japan to attack the United States with Hawaii for an excuse, while Spain should de- clare war simultaneously on the score of Cuba. tis probably hard for some Europeans to believe that no sane per- son Tn the United States would for moment have the slightest doubt about the outcome under these circum- stances. But the Japanese know some thing of the resources of America, and they will not exchange American friend ship for Spanish alliance. Happily there is not the slightest speck of war-cloud hoveung over the Pacific, nor is there any lurking him, of unfriendli- ness in the Japanese Governments arguments on the annexation question. The correspondence will doubtless pro- ceed with courtesy on both sides. As suredly it will not exercise any deter mining influence upon the fate of the annexation treaty, The 0U'y thing to be really decided is what would be best for the United States.

 Many men are too prone to blame others for their own lack of purpose and resolution. We have heard the medl- cal charlatan, when patient died who ought to have lived, pass by his own ineficiency and animadvert upon the defect of nurses, the mistakes of drug gists, the mysteries of physiology, the marvels of pathology, the atcana ot materia medica, till his hearers felt profoundly grateful for deaths and fun- erals. So most men, who have been unfortunate in their careers, attribute their lack ofsuccess to either the ignor- ance or malice of others.
 Be an integer. It is suggestive that the numerical character which signifies one, and the ninth letter of the alpha bet, which stands for Individuality. are almost identical. One and one makes two. or eleven, but cipheIs do not count up very rapidly. Be something, and insist upon being counted for all that you are worth.
 Society is made up of the working class and the shlrking class, and it IS not necessary to say which ofthese two is prosperous and happy. The young man who is looking for soft spot will find it at that point where his brains ought to be.

MT. Head of Prescott, and Mir. As- pinwall of WinsIow, are candidates for the treasure portfolio, both are good citizens we'll qualified to perform the duties of the office. But As inwall seems to be legally disqualified on &C., count of being a member of the Terri torial session, he would be in peculiar attitude as legislator and Territor- ial official. if his office was under inves- tigation. MT. Aspinwall is a most ex- eelent man for the trust, but Governor McCord's friends should not ask him to adopt the dangerous policy of ap- point ting members of the legislature. Barring the illegality of such appoint ments. this policy once introduced. he would be expected to appoint every member Of the next legislature, to some office, and there are not few. who W0uid attempt t1 control legislation with Just sucn club.

One young man of Dickinson coun,

Robert Kenney, the app king OF
East Dickinson. Mr.. Kenney has
studied the business of fruit raising
and his orchard is one OF the finest in
the state. From it he sold this year
about 10000 bushels of apples. He
has just purchased of P. Whitehair Of
Chapman the latter's fine'river bottom
farm, lying along the Smoky Hill,
paying therefor $500. Mr.. Kenney
will doubtless extend his fruit raising
upon this property and his past sue
cess indicates that he will be still
more prosperous. There are many
opportunities in Kansas for2the young
man and Mr.. Kenney has amply

ONE MANS SUCCESS.
How Herman 0esterreich Has Pros.
pered in Dickinson County.

A well known farmer, Herman
Oesterreich, Of Liberty township, was
in the city. Mr.. Oesterreich is an un-
assuming gentleman averse to talk
ing Of his own affairs, but there is in
his life in Dickinson county an inter-
esting story Of prosperity in Kansas
and the winnings that come to him
who seeks them intelligently. Mr..
Oesterreich came to this county 40
years ago last September, being one
of the earliest settlers. Indeed he
shares with half dozen others the
honor Of first coming to this section
Of the state. He was then 20 years
old and had nothing but his bare
hands, good health and sturdy will
with which to carve out fortune.
He has attended strictly to farming
and stock-raising. We do not believe
he ever in bis life spent an afternoon
on the streets talking politics and he
has given his whole attention to his
farm. Mr.. Oesterreich's home place
consists of $50 acres OF as fine land as
lies out of doors, in the best part Of
the county. He has several other
farms in Central Kansas. He has a
fine home. barns, fences, lots of stock
and money in the bank. He is worth
probably over $75,OOO-every dollar
made out Of Dickinson county soil.
Farming Of the right kind does pay.
