 Its Debt.

Kansas City. March 31.-The citi- zens and councilmen of Atttca, Kan. met last night and discussed the qucs- tion whether it would be better tc ar- bitrate with the bondholders or to move the town. The town is end mas been for several years carrying an in debtedness of about s33 900, including old sugar mill bonds and interest. It was decided that if the matter cannot be adjusted for the amount the town is able to pay. tha citizens 4yjll move their business houses and residences to a piece of ground about a quarter of a mile south of where they now stand.

 The scheme of moving a tow. to e5- capc indebtedness is not original, Ness City, the county seat cf Ness county, having practically decided on that method of unloading her burden of debt last week.

A DIsGRACEFUL SCRAMBLE.
For the Second Lieutenant Vacancies in the Marine Corps by
 the Politicians.

Washington, March 31,-The effort to secure commissions in the ra0rgan- ized marine corps has degenerated into a disgraceful political scramble, de- spite the fact that the president is out of town and there is little use in can didates and their friends making any special efforts in that line. There are about ninety vacancies in the grade of second Iieutenants, and twenGy-seVep
 volunteer officers who served during the late war, are now being examined
 for some of the places. Later enlisted men with education, experience and pull enough will be examined, and finally it is now proposed to distribute the commissions as far as they will go, giving one to each state, and the re- mainder where they will do the most good This condition has invited a
 great deal of dickering, and the navy department is deluged with letters from
 congressman and senators who have
 constituents who wish to get a commits sion. The wrangling among some 6f

washington, Feb. 7.--Hon Robert P.
Porter arrived in Washington Sunday
night having come directly from Ha-
vana, after his successful mission to
General Gomez, whom he met at Renee
dos. He submitted his report to Sec.
rotary Gage yesterday. Aside from
the successful outcome Of his mission
the most interesting part OF Mr.. Por-
ter's report relates to his observations
as to the conditions In the island as
they exist today.
From Havana to st. Domingo. near
~ 200 miles," says Mr.. Porter, your
commissioner went over the same
route as he did last September. The
difference. however, In the condition
Of the country now and then Is very
marked. In September the whole dis
lance was one scene of desolation.
There were literally no signs of life,
human or animal, except at the rail-
way stations, which swarmed with
starving humanity. Never was there
such abject misery seen as then. To-
day condtp are improved. There
are beggars, but Of the chronic sort.
A decided change for the better is
noticeable in the country itself The
people are beginning to work again.
The quick growing crops have been
planted and some are ready for har-
vest. For ten hours in September, trav-
cling on the same road. but one yoke
Of oxen was seen. Today in some fields
large herds Of several hundred cattle
greet the eye. This Is the surest sign
that Cuba Is pacified."

A Hint to Offenders.

Men who have no regard for the
life and property Of others, must
expect punishment. When pursued
by the police, they have no right to
complain. When arrested and SEN
fenced to Imprisonment, they only
get their deserts. Their misdeeds
lead to suffering. Out of the two
hundred prisoners in New Castle,
there is not one who can honestly
say that his own misdeeds did not
lead to his present condition. Had
he pursued an honest, straightfor-
ward course in his boyhood days
he would not now be pauper or a
criminal. Young men should learn
that it is the first step that leads to
a bad life. They should, therefore,
learn to be temperate, industrious
and law abiding.
Night proving and dram drink
ing will ruin any youngman. Those
who are INDUCING in evil practices
should change their course at once.
Too many young men are forming
habits that will eventually prove
their ruin. They are forging
chain that will bind them hand and
foot. They should take warning
or they will be disgraced. Their
names cannot be forever kept off the
police docket or out of the police re-
ports. We say to them, beware,
you must change your course or you
will be exposed.
