Bitterly Condemns the Pastime and
Uges Girls to Learn Something.

Cofeyville, July 1.-During his lee
ture before the Chautauqua assembly
here, Sam Jones said:
THE average conversation in the par
Tor would turn down Webster. There's
nothing to it; they don't say anything.
Get something in your head, girls. fill
1t up with the right sort of stuff. The
average girl doesn't want to be intellec-
tual, or useful; just a pretty little
thing The most tremendously dan
gerous thing in the country is to be a
pretty woman 1 would rather see nay
daughters face pitted from forehead to
chin with small pOX than to see her the
target for every Internal ScOundreI that
might admire her beauty. But I guess
none of you girls need be uneasy about
your beauty. Pretty is as pretty does,
and beautiful character immeasur-
ably surpaSses a beautiful face. The
girls have cut off the tops of their dress
eS for the ball room and the bottom for
the bicycle until I'm getting uneasy.
The two pillars that uphold woman's
character are mOdesty and purity. God
save the country from immOdesty. God
pity American woman when she tells
mOdesty to step aside.
I never saw really intelligent per-
son dance IN my life. But yet if 1 had
a girl that couldn't do anything at the
top, I'd fix her so that she could get
around at the bottom. I'd rather see
my girls trotting like an old COW than
dancing.
THE devils working right here in
this community. Down in Texas a
wild turkey hunter paid 500 for an old
gobbler that would go out into the tim
Der and call wild turkeys to him by
his gobble. Then the hunter would
crawl UP and shoot them. Every
preacher in this town has an old COB
Bile like that in his fiock-a devils
bell-wether and believe.
THE lap of society has never Graded
a great man into history from Adam
down to the present day.
Boys, girls, let me give you these
tdOQt'S' and these dog nO1s4 IN,
bad company; don't be idle; don't drink
liquor or gamble. I like a working
girl. wouldn't give one working girl
for every little butterfly in town.
Teach your girls to play on the cook
stove as well as on the piano. The girl
who can talk intelligently always
makes the best housekeeper. Here are
three 'dos:' Stay by your integrity; die
before you tell a lie. Lean on the arm
that's able to uphold you; stick to God
and right Stay by and love and honor
your sweet mother. The love of a
mother will Outlive everything but it
self"

DYNAMITE GUNS.
Fifteen Men, In Relays, Are Required
to Work Them.

New York, July dynamite guns,
such as are used upon the NesuVluS,
are operated upon an entirely different
principle from the ordinary powder
guns. They have engines and boilers
and air compressors and coolers, and
all sorts of intricate machinery, in
house not far away, by which the pro-
jectiles are fired. The dynamite, or
gun-cOttOn, or explosive gelatin, or
whatever the explosive material may
be, is contained in the prOjectile only
This projectile is called an aerial tor
pedO" by the manufacturers, and is ex-
ploded by means of q fuse, similar to
any powder guns.
Dynamite or any other high explosive
cannot be used in an ordinary cannon
because the powder would explode the
dynamite before it left the gun, there
fore, the system of using compressed
air came into vogue as the only method
of throwing dynamite at any distance.
The system is popularity known as
Zalinsl<i's, although that naval officer is
not connected with the manufacture of
the prOjectileS or the guns. The air is
compressed and passed along through
various tubes before reaching the gun,
and is used at about one thousand
which is much less than the power Of
powder. Dynamite will be exploded at
about five thousand pounds pressure to
the square inch These guns are enor-
nous affairs, smooth bore, fifty feet in
length, made of the best iron, in three
sections, Hanged and bolted together.
anu supported on a steer carriage Inc
carriage is mounted upon a steel racing
ring, so called, and the system of hand
ling is by an electric motor. AS these
guns are covered by a large number of
patents, they are very expensive, cost
ing the government many thousands of
dollars each. Fifteen men, in relays,
are required to work them.
The gunner stands upon a platform on
the left side of the carriage, uses a. fine
telescope sight, and when all is ready
he pulls lever which allows the COM
pressed air to enter the gun, and the
discharge takes place. These guns are
all loaded at the breech, and the projec-
tile is handled by a separate carriage.
The projectile is about ten feet in
length for the fifteen inch gun, and
when charged with 500 pounds of dyna-
mite, or gun cotton, weighs fully 1000
pounds. 1t is a steel tube composed of
walls three-sixteenth of an inch thick,
and has a spiral vane at the rear. The
fuse is a foot in length and weighs
twenty pounds. This fuse contains
two pounds and a half of dry gun-cot-
ton and a few grains of illuminate of
mercury as a detonator. It is set to ex-
plOde at impact, or as the gunner may
desire as TO time

NEW METHODIST HOME.
Women's Missionary Society Estab-
fishes One at Wichita

Wichita, July 1.-The Woman's Home
Missionary society of the Methodist
Episcopal church of the southwest
Kansas conference has decided to es-
tabIish a Deaconess home in this city.
The conference at Lyons last spring
authorized this action. It was decided
this morning that the home should be
opened as soon as possible. officers
were elected and committees were ap-
pointed to go to work to push the mat
ted to completion. The home will start
on a rather small scale and grow as the
occasion requires and funds allow. A
charter will be secured and a building
leased. 1t is expected that the home
will result in much good in this confer
ence. The MethodistS are entering the
movement with considerable enthusi-
asm and will make it a success.

Wellington, July IA. c. Lambe has
returned from Omaha. He reports
great crowds attending the transmits
sissippi exposition. The agricultural
display from Kansas is disappointing,
he says, made so by the fact that the
Rock Island railroad turned over all
its collection along its various lines to
Nebraska. Rem & Newbold and 9TH
erS made an extensive collection of
grains, grasses and fruits in this coun-
ty for the Rock Island people and they
all appear in the Nebraska display
This was hardly fair, he says, on the
part of the Rock Island folks. but Mr..
Lambe thinks we can furnish Kansas
and Nebraska both with a creditable
exhibit, so he has gone to work to make
another collection in this part of the
state. He is a member of the Kansas
committee in charge of the exhibits and
