MUCH WHEAT IN HARVEY.
Farmers are Rushing the Seeding
While Ground is Dry.

Newton, Sept. 16.-Harvey county
farmers are sowing an unusually large
amount of wheat this fall. Not only
this, but there is a great rush on to
complete the work now because the
rains and the later more pleasant
weather have made the ground in
splendid shape to work.
There is a scarcity of wheat drills. F.
S. Steinkirchner of the Lehman Hard
ware and Implement company says that
it seems they cannot order the drills
fast enough, or keep them in stock.
Two or three men were inquiring for
them this morning and none were to be
had.
There will not be very many enor-
nous fields sown in Harvey county, but
there will be any number of large fields
and nearly every farmer will have
wheat next year.

but he was too much agitated to tell his
story at once and by the time he made
1t known the child had gone down for
the last time. The body was rescued,

merry party ended in a sorrowful af-
fair. The father of the little girl is in

Didn't Do it Again.

A new member of the Senate was
complaining to an old member Of some
Of the difficulties he was eneountering.
''For one thing" he said, 'these news
paper fellows don't always get things
straight don't mean to accuse them
Of earelessness or Of intentional mis-
representation, but now and then some
remarkable stories are printed about
me at home"
"You'Il get used to that, y replied the
veteran. That won't hurt That's
part Of your apprenticeship. Pve been
all along there. Let me tell you little
experience Of mine. Soon after 1 came
here picked up paper from my State,
and saw it asserted in letter from
Washington that my colleague and my
self had met and arranged slate, and
that all the patronage for the State
would be distributed according to that
arrangement. There was no warrant
for the statement, and made inquiries
for the correspondent. He came to Sc
me, and proved to be bright and most
agreeable young man. Iasked him for
his authority, and he pleasantly refused
to give it, but said that he had every
faith in his informant. To that re-
piled that all would ask then would
be the privilege of denying the story
putting my statement against the other.
He said that was only fair, and be
would attend to the matter. When the
correction appeared it read something
liz e this 4: Your correspondents story
about the deal between Senator - and
his colleague, by which the patronage
Of the State is to be divided between
them, has raised quite stir here.
There can be no question as to its absO-
lutte truth. But Senator, who has
evidently been ratified by the publica-
ton, now solemnly assures your eorre-
spondent that he had nothing whatever
to do with the deal After that went
slow on correetions-"-N.Y Y. Tribune.

The steamer Empress of China brings
mail advices of disgraeefll scandals in
Shanghai. British Consuls there have
discovered that Chinese youths attach
ed to the Legation had been marrying
English girls. In fact, it had been a
fad among English girls to teach these
Celestia,s English and then marry
them.
The Chinese youths, with no sanctity
for the marriage law, treated their En-
glish wives as playthings for the hour,
and rs soon as they got them to China
sold them. If the girls rebslle1 their
Chinese husbands left them with moth
ing, not even the clothes on their backs
They locked them in empty houses to
scream until some one came to help
them.
In no single instance did these girls
write their relatives in England telling
of their shame. Their parents had for
bid their alliancs with Clinansn and
they suffered degradation in silence.
The press has taken the matter up, AMI
will request the British Government to
take some steps to prevent undesirable
international marriages. - Chicago

Wash Shirt Waists.

The best shirt makers have sent out
their patterns for the summer, and
there is little or no difference from last
years styles. The sleeves are smaller,
and there is perhaps a trifie less full
ness in the front. Yokes are made
square or pointed in the back, as is most
becoming. a plain band finishes the
neck, so that either a rundown or
high collar can be worn. The prefer
enee is as yet for the heavier wash ma
terials, such as Madras and duck, and
judging from the samples fancy white
materials, the white shirts are to be as
fashionable as they were last year. The
thin materials are not among the new
shades. When they are used they will
be made up in the fitted and more fan
cy waists. The different shades of
Od-colOr, a steel blue and pink are
among the new shades. Then there
are the checks and plaids, whose name
Is slegion; bIt the dif,reut patterns Of
white and tan are easily the smartest.
Among those that have yet been shown
there is one style that must not be for
gotten, of plain eOlor-dark blue pre-
ferAbis-mlde with square or pointed
yoke at the back, medium full front,
and d)wn the center of ths front fiat
pleat edged On either sids with ruliis
of sheer white linen. This is a pretty
style, and looks very smart when worn
with white leather belt and white linen
collar, the blue and white combination
be ing perennial favorite for summer.

Tales Told by Wrinkles.

A careful observer tells us that ones
history can largely be told by wrink-
les. Horizontal lines across the fore
head are found even in children who
are riekety or idiots, and being out in
the sun with the eyes unshaded will
produce them permanently, but they
are natural at 40 or earlier.
Vertical lines between the eyes de-
note thought and study, since deep
concentration contracts the eyebrows /;
grief and worry produce the same
effect, and frequently repeated either
leaves permanent fold in the skin.
Arched wrinkles just above the nose
indicate extreme suffering, either men,
tai or physical.
The earliest wrinkles of all and the
most unavoidable are those which run
from either side of the nostril down to
the mouth, and these are produced by
smiling, and even the motion Of the
jaws in masticlting.

mankind the magnanimous and too
novel example of people always guild
ed by an exalted justice and benevo-
lence."
To-day, nearly century from Wash
ington's death, we turn reverentially to
study the leading principles Of that
comprehensive chart for the guidance
Of the people. 1t was his nniinching,
immovahle devotion to these percep-
tions of duty which, more than any
thing else, made him what he was and
contributed so directly to make US what
we are. Following the precepts of
Washington, we can not err The wise
lessons in government which he left us
it will be profitable to heed. he seems
to have grasped all possible conditions
and pointed the way safely to meet
them. He has established danger sig
nails all along the pathway Of the Ma
tons march. He has warned us
against false lights He has taught
US the true philosophy of "a perfect
Union" and shown US the graphic dan
gers from sectionalism and wild and
unreasonable party spirit. He has en-
phasized the necessity, at all times, for
the exercise of sober and dispassionate
Judgment. Such a Judgment, my fell
low-citizens, is the best safeguard in
calm and tranquil events, and rises su-
perior and triumphant above the storms
of woe and peril.
We have every incentive to cherish
the memory and teachings Of Wash
ington. His wisdom and foresight have
been confirmed and vindicated after
more than century of experience.
His best eulOgy is the work he wrought; |
his highest tribute is the great Repub-
lie which he and his compatriots found |
ed. From four millions, we have grown !
to more than seventy millions Of peo-
pie, while our progress in industry, |
learning and the arts has been the won
der Of the world.
What the future will be depends upon
ourselves, and that that future will
bring still greater blessings to a free
people / can not doubt. With educa-
tion and morality in their homes, 10y
atty TO the underlying principles Of free
government in their hearts, and law
aud justice fostered and exemplified by
those intrusted with public administra-
ton, we will continue to enjoy the re-
spect of mankind and the gracious favor
of Almighty God. The priceless OPP
portunity is ours TO demonstrate anew
the enduring triumph of American civ
ilization and to helpin the progress and
prosperity of the land we love.

He Used Buttons.

1t is amusing to people familiar with
the Capitol 10 watch strangers examine
1t, and nowhere are these strangers 50
amusing as when they are in statuary
hall, where there are a dozen or more
''echo" stones, each of which creates a
different sort of an echo, owing to the
peculiarities of the acoustics created by
the formation of the ceiling. Men and
women, old and young, frequently af-
ford the most amusing spectaeles when
the solemn guide exhibits the wonders
of these echo stones. There are also
two pillars, one on either side Of the
room, which are called the telephone
columns, and a person speaking in a
very low tone near one may be dis
.inctly hearl by anyone standing near
the opposite pillar. Yesterday mem
ber's secretary was leaning against the
pillar on the south side of the hall,
when he heard voice say:
"Oh, dear, what shall do? My skirt
is falling off and 1 haven't got pin ?"
The young fellow glanced around,
saw no one near him, but observed two
young women near the telephone pillar
opposite. Instantly grasping the situ-
alton, he gruffiy said in low tone:
''Sew it on or use a hatpin.n
He heard a slight scream, saw two
young women look about the hall in a
startled fashion, and, observing no one
was near, the one in distress exclaimed:
"Did you ever?'
NO, never" replied the secretary
as gruffiy as before, ~ use buttons.n
This was too much for the young
women, and they precipitately fed
