According to the Humanitarian, the vice of ether drinking has invaded Aus tria and Germany. In eastern Prussia the Director of the Asylum for the AIienated recently called the attention of the Government to the fact that in n,is district ether drinking was fast supplanting the use of alcohol. In the city of Memel alone, situated in the extreme northeastern part of Germany
 the sale of ether destined as drink for the past year is officially stated to have amounted to S,5S0 quarts, to which must be added large quantity that, through smuggling, escaped official counting. In the district of Heydekrug, a still more considerable quantity is annually sold as a stimulant. The ether is sold by liquor dispensers and retailers oyer the counter to the con- sinners in drinks averaging from four +o five srammes, this dose producing more exhilaration, as well as more inn

Edgeley is particularly fortunate town in North Dakota. It has enjoyed for years about the cheapest possible system of fire protection in a water ser vice from an artesian well, which sends a constant and powerful stream from depth of nearly 1,40e feet. Too much salt renders the water unfit for domestic purposes, and the gas it contains was regarded also as an objection until one of the residents developed a process of separating the gas from the water, and using the former to light and heat his store and residence. The separation of the gae is to be accomplished on a larger scale, and the streets and resi- dences are to be lighted and the busi- ness houses all heated at minimum cost from the same source that fur nishes the town a free water works sys- tenn. There are many flowing wells in the State and all have more or less gas but none in a quantity regarded as worth testing.

A curious point in insurance law is

A curious point in insurance law IS troubling the Vienna courts. A sur geon in trimming his nails before per- forming an operation cut his finger, but went on with the operation and his finger was infected so that he had to call in a doctor for himself. He claimed compensation on an accident policy, but the company refused to pay on the ground that operations per formed by doctors on themselves were expressly excluded in it's policy. The courts must decide whether nail cut ting is a surgical operation.

The Dakota Huronite cites the case of farmer who during the year has disposed of 700 bushels of potatoes for $245, 800 bushels of wheat for s41S, milk $475 wool $21O, besides the increase from cattle and sheep $500, making a total of $1,64S, besides the products used in supporting himself and family. The Sioux City Tribune in commenting up- on this showing calls attention to the fact that the dairy products were the most profitable of all. This farmers s cows brought him more gross income and net profit than eighty acres of wheat land at ten bushels to the acre, or than several hundred sheep. The Huronite says that all the other Da- kota farmers who farm intelligently are doing just as well.

The other day a passenger train in Arizona left the rails, rolled down the bank and landed in three feet of muddy water at the bottom of the river bed. Within the cars there was some nat ural confusion. Men, women and lunch boxes were thrown into heap and not an umbrella or parcel was left in the racks. One by one the occupants of the rear car extricated themselves from the mass and sought for means of es- cape, while stanching various wounds caused by broken glass. Every exit was damned tight. Just then in the midst of the doubt and confusion rose a woman's voice in emphatic demand:
 "Let me out! Let me out If you don't let me out I'll break a window"

The Hope Dispatch pays the RE-
rLEcroR high compliment on its
reputation for accuracy. One of our
correspondents in reporting rum
away several miles distant said one
horse was killed. The Dispatch
states that the in jured horse did not
die and severely criticses the Re-
FLEcToR on It's lapse from reliability.
We know some papers which mie ht
have stated that all the horses in the
township were killed when no acct
dent had happened and no one would
have considered 1t worth comment,
but so generally have people come to
expect perfect accuracy in this great
moral and religious exposition that the
slightest slip causes wonder The
Dispatch is amply justified. We have
instructed the careless correspondent
that hereafter he must remain by the
injured horses bedside until death
actually comes or must at least view
the remains, II he has to travel 10
miles to do it, before sending in any
report. 1t will probably take years
to live down this error but we hope
by prayerful alertness eventually to
do IL.

We are in receipt Of the thirty
third annual catalogue Of the Univers-
ity ofKansas.,We are pleased to notice
that the University is making adj
vances along several lines. The tsc-
ulty now number 70, an increase Of
twelve over last year. An additional
year in each has been added
to the courses OF medicine and law.
The University now offers facilities
for the completion Of the scientific
branches usually taught in medical
courses. 1t is the intention to add
as soon as possible the clinical and
technical work necessary for complet-
ing a regular four year course in
medicine. The extra year in law
makes it possible to add new subjects
to the curriculum and to increase the
time given to some Of the sub
jects taken at present. A cut of the
the new Fowler shops show a hand

chemistry building, work on the
foundation of which will soon begin,
makes two new buildings added to
the campus in the last two years. A

ment Of the mineral resources OF the

Funston's Generous Praise.

Governor Stanley received letter
yesterday afternoon from General
| Funston written on the l4th Of May
Among other things, General Funston
says:
snow that my promotion to triga'
der general takes me away from my
old regiment, the Twentieth Kansas,
think the present an appropriate
time to tell you how greatly appre-
ciate the splendid way in which you
have upheld me in the matter Of pro-
motions in the regiment, as well as
numerous courtesies to me and to the
regiment.
my hold on the regiment was
greatly strengthened by the fact that
the officers and men realized that the
Il
way to preierment was through hard
work, good behavior, and gallantry
in action, and not through social oil
political pull.
"In my recommendations to you,
have never been influenced by any
other consideration than the good Of
the service, and desire to reward
the most meritorious.
81 know how hard the pressure on
you must have been at times by peo-
pie at home anxious to see their
friends promoted. II is great pity
that more Of the splendid non-com.
missioned officers Of the regiment can
not be adequately rewarded, but, Of
course, the vacancies which occur are
few The policy have always fol-
lowed has been to select from the
non.commissioned staff, or from the
first sergeants, for second lieuten'
ancies, not going among duty SER
geants at all.
Sergeant Major. Warner, recon-.
mended for promotion recently, was
not only the ranking non-commis-
stoned officer Of the regiment, but had
been SO thorough and conscientious
in the discharge Of his duties, and SO
cool in action, as to, without doubt,
merit his promotion.
First Sergeant Murphy won his
straps by conspicuous gallantry in
action, as did also Lieutenant Hardy"
After expressing his appreciation
to Governor Stanley for the governors
intercession with the president in his
behalf, General Funston adds:
81 wish to bespeak for my success.
or, Colonel Metcalf, the same sup.
port that you have given me. He
is splendid officer, who will keep
the regiment up to its present high
standard OF efficiency"

Good Republican Talk.

The Republicans Of Allen county
adopted some resolutions that are
strictly to the point. They say:
We particularly endorse the admin
istration Of President Mckinley for
its wise and vigorous management Of
the war with Spain and we glory in
the magnificent achievements Of the
army and the navy Of the United
States, whose courage and skill and
daring have advanced our great Re-
public to the front rank among the
nations Of the world and made the
American flag an ensign of honor and
and a symbol Of power in the remot-
est corners Of the globe. More es-
peciaIly do We glory in the magnif-
cent record made by our own regi-
ment, the gallant Twentieth Kansas,
in which so many OF our boys are
serving and which has been led with
such skill and dash and daring by one
who grew up in Allen county and Of
whom we are all proud. Ten thous-
and miles from home they are fight
ing with brave hearts and strong
hands the battles OF their country,
the battles Of civilization; and while
we deeply deplore the unhappy con-
flict 10 which they are engaged, we
wish to 90 on record as emphatically
endorsing the policy which declares
that the authority OF the United
States must be established on every
foot OF soil over which the flag floats.
The Allen county Republicans fur
ther endorse the state administration
and adopt the following resolution on
the subject Of trusts and combines;
We call attention to the fact that q
Republican legislature passed the
first antitrust law ever placed upon
the statute books Of Kansas, that the
first antitrust law passed by the con-
gress Of the United States bears the
name Of a Republican senator, and
that the St. Louis platform contained
a strong resolution on this subject,
as abundant evidence that the Repub-
lican party is on guard and will pro-
tect the people against the evils that
might arise from these unlawful COM
binations.
The Allen county platform is short
but it will be difficult for Republicans
in any county to improve it. 1t ap-
peals strongly to the national and
state pride and the good sense Of
every right minded man in Kansas.

he will not be present at the meeting;

they were doing harm, neither was he
prepared to say that they were doing
