Homes for Needy Children.

Rev. o. E. O'Byrne, district super
intendent of the Kansas Children s
quarters in Ottawa. Mr.. O'Byrne
formerly was located at Garnett, but
has been transferred to Ottawa, the
latter place being more centrally To-
Gated in the district, which is compos-
ed of Douglas, Johnson, Miami, Linn !,
Franklin, Anderson, Usage and Cof-
fey counties. The object of the Kan
sas Children's Home society is to find
homes for needy children in good FAM
lilies. There are six districts in this
state with state headquarters at Tope-
ka, where Rev. o. S. Morrow is 1ocat-
ed as state superintendent.

popular loan. If such an arrange.
ment has been made, it is breach of
faith on the part of the administra.
ton. The entire bond issue, if any
issue at all is deemed necessary, should
be popular in its form. But such a
proceeding would be quite out of char
actor on the part of the Republicans.
Placed in power by the plutocrats, the
republican party is found to look after
the interests of the money grabbers,
irrespective of the wishes or the well
fare of the people. Such proceeding
as that alleged to be under way Oh the
part of the treasury would justify the
Democrats in the senate should they
refuse to allow bill to pass making a
bond issue. 1t seems to be impossible
for the monetary reformers to be pa
triots instead of partisans. Even the
Philadelphia Ledger, which is fairly
conversative, becomes rapidly parts
an when discussing the bond issue. In
speaking of this matter the Ledger
says:
eth word com should be changed
to gold No word of double meaning
should be used in SO imi ortant a con-
nection. The United States is on a
gold basis, and there should be suffi-
cient courage and patriotism in CON
gress to so declare" There is only
one reasonable explanation of such
talk, and that is a resolve to drive
democratic senators into opposing a
bond issue and thus try to make it ap-
pear that democrats are Constructing
war measures" Monetary reformers
know, if they know anything, that a
gold bond cannot pass congress. They
also know that bond issue that is not
popular in it's character will be defeat
ed. In proposing either of these meas
ures the reformers are obstructionists,
partisans and unpatriotic, and their
small trickery will meet with just con-
denmatiou from the people of the
United States.-Chicago Dispatch.

The Origin of "Mrs. drundy."

How many who daily use the name
of Mrs. Grundy have any idea of her
origin? asks The Saturday Evening
Post. 1t is generally believed that
Dickens was somehow responsible for
her, but writer in the Dundee Ad-
vertiser points out that this is an utter
mistake. The real creator of Mrs.
Grundy was Thorn Is Morton, the
dramatist (born 1904, died 1889. the
father of the author of BOX and Cox, -
and she is referred to in his comedy,
"Speed and Plow," which was first
performed in 1898. Mrs. Grundy is
not a character in that play; she is
merely mysterious parsonage whom
Dame Ashfield, the farmers wife, con-
stantly quotes, much in the same way
as Sarah Camp al1udes to Mrs. Harris.

AT CAMP LEEDY.
Fourteen Companies Now
Mustered Under the Old
Flag.
Topeka City OF Booming Cannon

the Boys I'm Blue.

| Topeka Special.
Topeka is seeing all the war there is
to be seen in Kansas. The steady
| tread of marching feet is an iuspira-
ton to the small boy, who, in imita-
ton of his big brother dous his regi-
mentals, shoulders his toy gun, and
keeps regulation step to the music of
the youthful bugler of his regiment.
Five companies arrived in one day re-
Gently and marched to the State House
during the firing of the national salute
to the victory of Manila. They were
dressed in all shades and colors and
were at once marched to the State
House, from which they soon emerged
fitted out in spick span new regimen
tails, and when lined up preparatory
to their march to Camp Leedy, they
presented fine appearance, and were
greeted with prolonged and hearty
cheers.
1t has rained almost every day since
the arrival of the first troops and the
boys have had plenty of opportunity
to sleep OH a Cuban battle field during
the rainy season. There are now
fourteen companies here and more
coming. 1t is expected that every
thing will be in readiness by the 10th
or 18th for the march to the front, and
there will be sorry lot of ambitious
soldiers if orders are not received to
march forthwith.

The Advantages of Rest.

There is no better preventative of
nervons exhau ,tion says an exchange,
than regular, unhnrried muscular ex-
.rcise. If we could moderate our hur-
ry, lessen our worry, and increase our
open-air exercise, large proportion
of rervous diseases would be abolished.
For those who cannot get sufficient
holiday, the best substitute is an oc-
casiona1 day in bed. Many whose
nerves are constantly strained in their
daily avocation have discovered this
for themselves.
A Spanish merchant in Barcelona
told his doctor that he always went to
bed for two or three days whenever he
could be spared from his business, and
he laughed at those who spent their
holidays on tai1some mountains.
A hard-worked woman who has for
many years conducted large whole
sale business retains excellent nerves
at an advanced age, owing, it is be
1ieved, to her babit of taking one day
week in bed. If we can not avoid
frequent agitation, we ought, if posi-
BILE, to give the nervous system time
to recover itself between the shocks
Even half an hours seclusion after {
good lunch will deprive a hurried
anxious day of much of its injury
The nerves can often be overcome b,
stratagem when they refuse to be con
trolled by strength of will.

BARRIOS ASSASSIN ATED.

President of Guatemala stabbed By
German Socialist.
WASHINGTON, February 9-Senor
Lazo Arriaga, the Guatemala Minister
TO the United States, this afternoon re-

Minister Of Foreign Affairs Of Guate-
mala, announcing the assassination OF
President Barrios and the succession to
the Presidency of Vice-president Man
uel Estrada Cabrera. No details what
ever were given.
The dispatch came from Guatemala
City, the capital, where President Bar
rios has lived. 1t added that entire
calm prevailed This last assurance,
coupled with the immediate succession
of the Vice-President, in accordance
win the methods of the country, is a
special scource of qualification to the
Guatemalan officials here, and to some
extent alleviates the shock with which
they received the news of the tragedy.
A dispatch from Guatemala says that
the President was assassinated by Os-
car Salinger, a German Socialist. AS
the President was leaving his house to
enter carriage and be driven to the
capitol, Salinger sprang in front Of him
and stabbed him before the guards
could interfere. The murderer was ar
rested.
A message was received from the
City of Mexico to the effect that Gen

President of Guatemala, and is prepar-
ing to go to Guatemala at once. 1t Is

NEW YORK ELECTION.

Much speculation has been in.
dulged in as to the result of the
New York elections. New York
is a large State and contains over
a million voters. Mr.. Roosevelt
may be in some doubt as to how
white voters will act, but We think
he does not lie abed at nights
worrying over the probable action
of the colored voters. Mr.. Roose-
velt has done what was in his
power to protect the young colored
ladies who were unjustly turned
out of the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, but he was powerless
in the presence of the Secretary of
the Treasury who was opposed to
having colored ladies in his depart
ment. Unless all signs fail Mr..
Roosevelt will be the next governor
of Now York and ,he colored voter
will be pleased.
