Obituary.

Louise Wolford was born January
g, 1884 in Albany county, n. Y. She
moved TO Wisconsin at the age of 20,
and in 1875 moved to FIT. Scott, kans
January Is, 1860, che was married to
Jas. w. Coutant. They lived in Ft
Scott until 1879 when they moved to
lola which has since been their home.
Three children were born of this mar
riage, two of whom are living. The
deceased was an earnest Christian
woman, a faithful follower of the
Master. She was true member OF
the NJ. f. church of this city and
during all these years that she has
resided in lola no member of the
church was more jealous in finding
and caring for the sick, nor more
careful in looking after and welcom-
ing the stranger. Yet all this was
done go quietly, so unassumingly
that only inquiry developed that che
had been at work. Who will take
Sister Coutsnt's place in this church ?
She was an active member of the
Womans Christian Temperance Union
and an untiring worker in both the
Womans Foreign Missionary Society
and the Ladies Aid Society of the
church.
The prayers and coincidence of the
entire mem bership of the church, as
well as the sorrow and sympathy
of the entire community, go out to
the family and relatives Of the de-
ceased in this hour of bereavement.
The funeral services were held at
the home of the family conducted by
Rev. A.. b. Bruner, and attended by
a large concourse of friends.

Chamberlain speech in which he
distinctly declared for an alliance
with America. But from the stand
point of diplomacy and horse sense
was not the Honorable Joseph just
trifle premature and indiscreet {?
Spain certainly has right to protest
against such declaration at this
time, and will undou btedly make
good use of the incident to enlist the
sympathy of Europe in her own
cause by working fears. OF course
America and England can whip the
rest of the world; but we don't want
to have it to do just how. Mr.
Chamberlain would have done well,
it strikes this observer, to have wait
ed until America had given Spain
her quietus. Then quiet announce
ment that America and England
would hearafter Skinny on the same
side would have had very salutary
effect on the disposition, if not on the
nerves, of Europe.

ONE SOUND DEMOCRAT.

Barney Sheridan, the honestest and
ablest Democratic editor in Kansas,
in signed article in his paper, the
Paola Spirit, makes the following as
sertions and predictions which we
commend to our Democratic, or for
merly Democratic, readers here in
Allen county.
Populism is heresy, a fad. 1t is
wrong and the Democratic party can
not afford to encourage it or support it -,
directly or indirectly. Fusion means
half Of it or part of it or all of it. At
the Democratic State convention of
1890 at Wichita | fought it and again
in Topeka in 1892 l fought it. Two
years later i was against it and with
the help of ADLER men straight Dem
0cratic ticket was nominated with
Overmyer at the head. The Miami
delegation opposed it at Hutchinson
In 1896. went contrary to my con-
victions in 1892 and put up the Lew
elling ticket in the Spirit because l
hated and dreaded to assume an at
titude of defiance to party will, though
| didn't put up the Leedy ticket in
1896. Even now IL Ia with feelings of
regret that l boldly and positively
say that the Democratic Western
Spirit will not support any fusion
ticket that Democratic conventions
may put up. But the welfare of the
Democratic party demands that as an
editor must take this position. The
future will justify my course. The
fusion State ticket will be beaten next
fall not less than fifteen thousand, per-
haps twenty-five thousand. Indeed /
shall not be surprised If 1t goes under
by forty thousand. This will end it
and next year the Democrats can be-
gin to get in shape for 1900.

AND still the New York millionaires
continue to fiaunt their insolent pa
triotism in the very faces of the peo-
pie like Simpson and Tillmsn and the
Populists generally who know that
their only object in life lie to Cypress
the portland rob the government. A
half dozen or so Wall Street bankers
got together quietly the other day and
arranged to present the government
with a war ship, fully equipped. And
now Oliver II. p. Belmont has pro-
posed to build and equip and give to
the government torpedo boat, and
proposes, moreover, to command it
himself Is 1t possible that our Pop
ulist leaders have been deceiving us
after all, and that the rich are as pa
triotic rnd as self-sacrificing as the
poor?

ONE LESSON OF THE WAR.

If you must smoke, smoke q pipe or
a cigar.
That Is the dictum that comes from
the surgeons who are examing the
volunteers as to their fitness for mill
tary service. The surgeons cay that
ninety per cent. of those who are I'M
able to pass the physical examine
ton, are rejected because of disa-
bilities directly resulting from smok-
ing cigarettes. Surely such report
as that should bid the cigarette
tiend" pause and consider. These
surgeons are not fanatics or senti-
mentalists or reformers. They are
hunting men who are able to carry
gun and they care not one whit
for the mans morals or his habits.
But when they find that a man has
a weak heart or deranged stomach
or a generally debilitated flabbiness,
they know he can't carry gun and
they reject him. And when they
find that nine out of ten Of those thus
rejected are cigarette smokers they
simply state that fact and leave
others to draw the conclusion. And
even cigarette tiend ought to be
able to draw a conclusion which is
so plain aud palpable.
One of the lessons of the war. there
fore, is, don't smoke; but if you must
smoke, get pipe or a cigar.

RaVages of the Flood.

People of lola are already acquaint-
ed with the hilarious conduct of Coon
creek last Sunday and aside from a
few who had personal experience with
the water, every body took the way
ward young stream as joke. In that
case no damage was done except to
the reputation of the real estate deal
ers who sold lots along the creek at
'bottom' prices. That sedate old
creek east of town was also on a tear
Sunday, but its spree was more des-
tructive. The wood trestle bridge
near McDonald's ranch about three
and one-half miles north of LaHarpe
on Rock Creek was badly wrecked by
the high water and the center section
of about twelve feet was washed
away, rendering the bridge useless.
The water overlooked the creek banks
all along washing out fences for miles
and the farmers have been busy be.
tween showers for the past three
days repairing the damage. Crops in
the bottoms were also badly damsg-
ed. Quite a number Of farmers lost
stock, the heaviest loss reported being
twenty-five or thirty fat hogs belong
ing to E. II. Tobey. VIM. Huber al
so lost three head of cattle and other
minor losses are reported This taken
with the fact that the crops are al
ready very backward on account of
the continued rain, makes the Sunday
storm one of the most destructive in
recent years.
