Clifton News:-The ticket nominated at
Hutchinson on Wednesday of this week
is the best state ticket ever placed before
the people of Kansas for their considera-
ton. w. L. Stanley is an old resident of
the state a leader in the lawyer profess
sion, and just the kind Of man Kansas
needs for a governor. He was by far the
choice of the convention which was de-
monstrated after the complimentary votes
were cast for the various candidates. The
ticket, from top TO bottom, is an ideal
one, and with it the Republican party
will march to victory this fall in Kan

SPANISH ELECTIONS,

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The state
department has received the following
dispatch from Minister Woodford at
Madrid:
Decree dissolying Spanish cortes
Feb. 26. New cortes will meet April
25.'
The dissolution Of the cortes had been
expected, and it may be attended with
important results. The two parties,
Liberal and Conservative, will now ap.
peal to the country, and on the result
will depend the political complexion of
the ministry. The Sagasta ministry,
now in power, is Liberal. Its retention
in power means much at the present
juncture, for it was on the advent of the
Sagasta regime that General Weyler
was recalled, the reconcentrado DEGREES
were annulled and the present plan of
autonomy put in force. The policy now
being pursued by General Blanco in
Cuba is an entire reversal of that under
the Conservative regime of Canovas and
his successor, and it is felt that the con-
tinuance OF this policy is no less at stake
than the ministry itself in the outcome
of the present elections.

"By this mean that all the testimony

theories OF those who think the explo-

AS bearing on the value of the opinion
of the officer III question, it must be
borne in mind that he was before the
court for about 10 minutes only, and
that he has at all times expressed him

not due to an accident.

Look Out Farmers!

1t more than keeps us busy watch
ing out for the many fakes and swim
dies that are being perpetrated on the
farmers, but if giving their game
away will save the farmers from be-
ing taken in we will feel amply repaid
for the trouble. Here is how the
scheme works. A couple Of men
drive to the premises and present
false papers purporting to give state
authority for examination of wells
and cisterns under the pure food laws.
They inspect the water through a
microscope and find all kinds OF mi
crobes, bacteria, cholera germs and
typhoid bugs, and permit the farmer
and his wife to look through the mic
roscope where of course they can see
the menagerie that always has been
and always will be continued in a
drop of water,
The frightened farm folks are then
advised to apply certain remedies,
which the fakirs sell to them at a
high figure Ga little plain soda, and
nothing more) and then go on their
swindling way. When strangers come
to inspect your wells you will do well
TO fire them off the farm with a doz-
en- boot and then set the dogs on
them.

RraGlstreef's Review.

Business conditions in the main reflect
the continuance of most of the favorable
features hitherto dominating the trade sit
uation in the more favored sections of the
country. Prominent in this direction, of
course, are the iron and steel and allied
industries, in which active demand, pres
= ent or prospective, has led to further price
advances, sustained and even increased
activity in distribution at most western
markets, with some Improvement likewise
noted at the south and on the Pacific coast,
steadiness in prices-wheat, corn and cot
ton, however, excepted-a reduced number
of business failures, fair gains in railroad
earnings; as whole, and bank clearings,
in spite of a slight reduction from last
week, showing heavy gains over all corre-
So onding periods in previous years.
1.-THE less favorable elements in the sit
uation are the reports Of arrested or
smaller than expected trade at eastern
markets, more particularly in textile lines,
lowered quotations and apparently less ac-
tive demand from abroad for our cereal
products and reduced prices paid for the
south's great staple, raw cotton. Qualify
ing the latter might be mentioned the fact
that spring wheat has apparently begun to
move in the northwest, and the promise of
large yields in wheat and cotton alike. has
tended to deDress prices"

FRIVOLOUS CUBAN BELLIES.
The Average Girl Knows More Of
Complexion Powder Than Of
the Baking Compound.

The bellies of the island often bedeck
themselves with fredies, in lieu OF
costlier but paler jewel lights.
These insects are nearly four times
as large as are the "lightning bugs" in
the United States, and emit beautiful:
glow from their breasts and under
wings. The young women dearly love
to imprison them in the gauzy folds of
their summerland costumes and en-
mesh them in the hair in mock coro-
nets. Sometimes senorita will wear
brilliant FREELY or two imprisoned in
tiny cage of gold or silver wire hang
ing as bangle to her bracelet. It is
an astonishing sight to see ight-be-
decked southern beauty shimmering in
the soft night as if clad in thousand
gems, but having no other adornment
than this economical one of firefiies.
The poor use them in more practical
way for lighting their houses, by put
ting them under wire screens or in
bottles, and they prove quite success
full in this Office of utility. At one time
the laws of Spain forbade the poor in
Cuba using any other means for house
lighting than frefies, and the practice
is still common one long after this
strange law has been abolished.
The life of the women of the upper
classes is very narrow one, and the
average girl has little else than mar
rage to look forward to. It behooveS
her to make an early marriage, too,
while the charms of youth abide, for
she will likely begin to fade at 30.
Handsome matrons are infrequent, as
in all tropic lands. Her mother teaches
her very little else than in the way of
personal accomplishments, and the
natural result is that the average girl
knows a great deal more regarding
complexion powder than she does of
baking powder; and her lack of other
useful knowledge is in much the same
proportion.
The young men "play the bear" in
their love-makings, as they do in all
Spanish countries, and one will often
see lovc-taken youth standing in the
public street for weary hours before
the house of his chosen one, patiently
awaiting the time when the parental
consent shall open the door to him.
