A GOOD LEGISLATURE.

Possibly no insinuation was intended
by the Philadelphia Call in printing
the following but it is calculated to
give rise to g. suspicion that all has not
been as 1T should be in the legislative
affairs Of the keystone state The Call
says:
The way to have a good legislature
Is to vote for good men. Reform comes
alone with hard work and solid votes
Next fall the people of this state will
have another opportunity to vote
against the raScalS and so keep them at
home Better let them steal chickens
and produce than elect them to rob the
treasury and mulct the corporations
Let the people get together in this
matter of new and honest legislature.
Let every voter determine that no man
shall go back to the legislature who has
betrayed his trust and lined his pocket
at the expense Of the taxpayer. Turn
the rasca1s out, and keep them out.

SOLD BEFORE HARVESTED.
That is What Some Kansas Farmers
Have Done With Wheat.

Kansas City, June Pc. Dye, a sub
stant1al stockman and farmer of Chau-
tauqua county, Kan, was in Kansas
CITY yesterday and brought with him
encouraging reports as to the condition
or wheat and corn in that county.
Il reside" said Mr.. Dye ''in the
southern part of Chautauqua county,
not more than three miles from the
Usage nation and where we raise most
ly wheat. L am in what is known as
the Little Caney bottoms, where as
much as 40 bushels of wheat to the
acre has been raised. Last year the
average yield was about % bushels to
the acre and the probabilities are the
yield this year will be about the same.
l have 24O acres in wheat, which has
been injured somewhat by the recent
heavy rains. STILL I expect 20 to 81
bushels to the acre and possibly so
bushels.
My shipping point" continued Mr..
Dye, is Niotaza, which is at the juno
ton OF the Missouri Pacific and Santa
Fe, and where cash wheat has been
sold by the farmers the past spring at
$L30Ql31 per bushel. Some of our
farmers have sold this years crop,
whatever it may be, already. I know
OF one man who has sold his crop at
7Sc per bushel, and he received $500
down to bind the contract. Another
farmer has sold his crop at 81 per BUSH
Ell and money has been paid on the con-
tract Deliveries are to be made at
threshing time. Wheat cutting will
commence the fore part of next week.

Emporia, June 27.-The first assembly
of the Church of God and Saints of
Christ is being held in this city. 1t

A Coffeyville Freight Hauler

Cruel Treatment of Aged Man

YOUTHFUL SUICIDE.

Head Blown Off.

His Toes.

Coffeyville, June 27.-An aged couple
arrived in Coffeyville three or four
weeks ago, by way of the NJ. K. & T.
evening train, and intended to leave for
the north over the Missouri Pacific at
10 p. m. When they alighted from the
Katy train, they were besieged by the
usual number of cab drivers, express
haulers and hotel porters. The old
gentIeman's hearing was quite defec-
tive, and he gave his trunk check to a
freight hauler by mistake. They want
ed to be transferred to the Missouri
Pacific depot to wait for the night train
north.
The freight hauler did not inform the
Old couple that he was hauling freight
instead of passengers but after the re-
malnder of the conveyances had left he
loaded them on his freight wagon and
drove rapidly to the Missouri Pacific
depot: The old gentleman was already
troubled with Bright's disease and the
rough ride aggravated his case and in
Jured his health considerably. Since
that time the old gentleman has died.
Those who knew him and were ac-
quainted with the facts of his expert
ence at CoffeyVille are disposed to at
TRIBUTE the cause of his death very
largely to the treatment he received at
the hands of the heartless freight
hauler

New York Tribune: On what decent
pretence, it is asked could our govern
ment demand. as a condition of peace,
the permanent surrender by Spain of
the Philippines, or Porto Rico, or any
other of her colonial possessions? On
no mere pretence, but on the we'll
established ground of the victor's right
to exact a war indemnity from the con-
quered foe, and to prescribe the manner
in which that indemnity shall be paid.
Japan beat China, and took Formosa
Turkey beat Greece, and took a strip
of territory with the assent Of the
powers. Russia beat Turkey, and took
q slice of Armenia. Germany beat
France, and took Alsace-Lorraine.
Prussia beat Denmark, and took
Schleswig- Holstein. The United States
beat Mexico, and took California and
New Mexico. The rule may be harsh
one, but it is the law of nations. On
what decent pretence could our govern
ment be asked to fight Spain, Hberate
Cuba and pay all the bills without in
demnity?

SPANISH PRONOUNCING.
Simple Rules for Determining Span
ish Names

AS the American public will doubt
less have occasion for a largely in
creased use of Spanish names in the
future, it may not come amisS to pub
1ish some of the simpler rules by which
the pronunciation of these names may
be correctly determined from the first.
To begin with, every vowel marks a
syllable and receives it's full sound, ex-
cept where it would be awkward and
twist the tongue, as in the combination
of two vowel sounds on one syllable,
as in que, gui, que and qui. In these
custom allows but one sound to the
two novels, and the first letter of the
syllable is hard-gay, ge and ka, Ike.
The vowelS are not allowed from
three to hve sounds each, as in Eng
sllSh, but are uniformly the same, so
that once learned it is comparatively
easy to decide upon the pronunciation
of the words of this sonorous tongue.
nance or continental tongues, viz: A
is always all, as in father; e is always
long a, as in made; is like e, in eve; Y,
when used as a vowel, the same; o is
round o, as the children say, as in ode.
This sound is, however, sometimes
shortened where it is obviously awk-
ward to give the long or orotund o, but
there is no rule to that effect. u has
the sound of u, in usual, except as in
the cases mentioned above, where it is
considered silent. OF the conSonants,
h is never pronounced, that is, in its
own proper person. But g, while hard
before a, and u, has the sound of h
before e and i. Thus young men likely
speak of our venerated George Wash
ington as the Immortal Horha." G al
so is Softened before e and i to a soft
tn sound, in the Castilian, though
throughout Spanish America it has US
ually the sound of S in this position.
But before the other vowels it is every
where hard. D is modified to a sound
of tn, as in the word then, when it oc-
ours between two vowels or at the end
of the word, as Madrid, for instance,
which is Mah-dreeth in Spain. But this
pronunciation is by no means Obliga-
tory, any more than Paris is always to
be pronounced Paree. AS a matter of
fact, this tn sound for d is very var
liable throughout the Spanish Ameri-
cans, and plain Madrid will do any
where. The b and sounds are also
frequently interchanged in the north
ern or Basque provinces, as also in
Catalonia, where, by the way, this war
with America is very unpopular. This
change of b and is also found in the
early literature of Spain, but no rule
for it is given in Spanish grammarS.
The diphthOng ay has the sound of i;
hay, which means there is, is pronounce
ed i. mo IL means there is not any;
ey is a, long-Waler. AS to accents,
words that end in a vowel are accented
on the syllable before the last. Those
that end in a cOnSOnant on the last Syl-
liable.
Exceptions to these rules are signif1ed
by making the syllable to be accented.
By observing these few rules the
greater number of words in Spanish
may be mastered, except for that in
definable holding of vowel sounds,
which is learned only from a teacher.

CRASHING OF TEETH.
New York Women Protest Against
Duties on Dentifrice.

New York. June 27.-There was
sound like the gnashing of teeth all
over the town yesterday. It swelled in
it's -click-click from the battery to
Harlem and back again; and down at
the Appraisers stores it rose into a
storm CT protest, until the general board
plugged cotton in it's several ears and
scurried homeward.
OF course, it was the teeth of women
that were CRASHED. 1t was trivial
matter of a bargain day. This was
genuine; this was far-reaching; this
was matter of tooth powder! Yea.
of tooth wash! Tooth wash declared
dutiable by a miserable masculine
board that never had its incisors plug
ged with platinum!
And TO add to the horror of the situa-
ton, this tooth wash was brought I'M
der the Dingley ken because it was al

SIGSBEE GROWS THIN.
Inactivity Causes Him Much Worry
Engineer Resigns.

st. Louis. June Pr. S. Robinson
an engineer on the st. Paul, was in the
city last night en- route to his home, in
Fayetteville, Ark. He has resigned be-
cause of ill health. He says that the
fans for cooling the air on the st. Paul
are inadequate for the climate in which
she is now moving, and there is much
suffering from the heat. Robinson says
that Capt. Sigsbee is evidently worry
ing over something, as he is fretting his
life away and is growing thinner every
day.
He looks worried all the time" said
Robinson, land 1 have noticed how
much he has changed in the last two
months. 1t has been noticed, too, by
those who are under him, and it has
been talked about by those aboard the
ST. Paul. He does not begin to be as
healthy in appearance today as he was
even when he took charge of the St.
Paul, and those that knew him when
he was the commander of the Inflated
Maine say that he is but a ghost of his
former self.
1T is generally believed that he has
not entirely recovered from the effects
of the Maine strain, and that what he
needs is a rest"

HENDERSON IN JAIL.
Theatrical Manager Brought to Grief
by Civil Rights Law.

Chicago, June 27.-David Henderson,
ter, was remanded to jail by Judge Car
ter for failure to pay a Judgment of
$3.50 awarded by the circuit court to
Hugh Richardson, colored, for a viola
ton of the civil rights act. The order
was not put into effect Immediately, as
Judge Carter allowed the attorneys of
the theatrical manager to make an ap-
peal
Richardson secured the judgment
during HenderSon's management of the
Chicago Opera House because he was
refused admission to the orchestra on
tickets purchased by white man. Hen
derson's plea was that as an insolvent
he should not be made the subject of
punishment for failure to pay the judg-
ment. Judge Carter held that a viola
ton of the civil rights act was a breach
of criminal law and that the mana
gers insolvency should not stand in the
way of his punishment.

Farmers Now Gathering the Biggest
Crop on Record.

Atwood, June 27-The farmers of Raw
Inns county are now gathering the largest
crop of alfalfa ever raised in the county
Two weeks later they will be harvesting
the biggest grain crops the county has
ever seen. The Rawlins county wheat
fields are the largest and promise at this
time the greatest yields in the history of
the county. Corn acreage is large, and
the most of it is in splendid shape. The

county, is already figuring putting an
exclusive passenger train, instead of run
ming the mixed train as they are now.
This will give the towns two daily trains.
