FRANKFURT,
The Capital Of Great Common
wealth Sits in Gloom.
Nothing Of a Surprising Nature
Can Happen Now.
A SAD, sORROWFUL PICTURE.

Last week in writing about Frank
fort, "Falcon' says:
"The ghost of a capital is the old
town to day gno-t of her old
self, lie -lt- aud shivers in the snow,
with the trowning hills about her,
dumb, weary. white End the srillness
of death in all the atmosphere. Peo-
Pile ~ about win ia ed breath, and
shutting footsteps, seeming to shun
each other on the streets. There is
never a smile seen or laugh heard,
never merry group on the corner,
uoi bevy of chattering women
trudging toward the Capitol. The
faint smell of wood smoke is in the
air, the soldier boys hover YEARLY
about the fires in the State House
Square. A few shsme-faced men go
up aud down the stairs in attendance
upon couple Of phantom Legisla-
lures the sky lowers, the wind sneers,
the sun shines hslf-hesrtedly through
the haze; Frankfort draws herself
within herself, and Kentucky grovels
ia disgrace with her hand upon her
mouth anu her mouth in the dust.
Tnars is no news here. There can
be no news-nO stupidity, no inanitY
nor hypocrisy &c: fraud, nO disregard
OF popular rights, no contemptuous
trifling with solemn oaths, no viola
ton Of the laws of decency and hon
or, could be news now. People ex.
pect such, aud II would be news, in
deed, if any act were done or word
uttered which would be wise and
just aud patriotic.
No wonder Frankfort-staid and
lovely mstron OF the olden time. rich
with "reminiscences of just judges and
high-heArted stAtesmen-gathers her
silken skirts about her and sits brood
ing by the Preside, lest pollution con-
rsminate her on the stone steps of the
Capitol. Grooming to herself the
songs of other days, she lets the men,
who now disgrace the name of men,
do as they wil-she sits aloof, alone,
bordering upon the portraits of her
ancestors.
The general wish ~ Frankfort, 81
far as l could gather il, was that the
Legislature would sdjoa:a sine Tie
until the courts settled the contested
elections and gave the offices either
to those who were elected or those
who were not. 1t is further suggest
ed that if this Legislature never met
again the State would save money.
I thought both suggestions good ones"

The Music of Childheed's Happy

Strike with hand of fire, o weird

notes do touch and kiss the moonlit

Those who miss 1.-TWO Married
Men" at the Opera House Tuesday
night will miss a good laugh, for
there is no play on the road to-day
that is quite so funny as 1.-TWO
Married Men" If you have got
the blues and want to get rid of
them, 90 and see 1.-TWO Married
Men" There are many specialties
and the action of the play is always
fast and furious so that before one
realizes it the evening is over, the
curtain is down and you laugh
on your way home, and keep on
laughing until you go to sleep.

no longer a good card and the dis
play OF fear by Gov. Taylor and the
requirement of cavalry, infantry
and artillery to escort him on his
way TO church or about the streets
was only grand stand play

HOf the Calendar Since the Bi th
of Washington.
According to the Old Rule Be Was
Born on Feb. II.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS.

Only 16S years have elapsed
Z bince the birth of George Wash
Apgton, yet the date seems remote.
10 much has occurred since then, the
Heonditions OF life have so radically
changed, that it seems much farth-
er away than it is in fact. Among
the changes that have taken place
is the reformation of the calendar
Ae the time was counted then in
England and America Washington
was born on the 18th of February.
The date has been altered to cores
: pond with the change of the calen-
dar made twenty years later, but
|, it is worthy of remark that the
same course has not been pursued
with reference to the birthdays of
some other distinguished men.
The recurrence of the anniver-
sary of the birth of Washington
does not call for any elaborate dis
sertstion upon his life and charac
Ter. That has been done so often
chat his pre-eminent rank among
the great men of the world is per-
fectly secure, and his services to
the country are generally recognize
ed. 1t may be said, indeed, that
there has been in recent years re-
action from the extreme Vows with
reference to Washington which
once prevailed among his country
men. Critical historians have gone
TO even unnecessary pains to show
that he was not the demigod that
some of his eulogists have sought
to make him, but a man of like
passions with others. There is no
reason why any one should deny
this, nor was it difficult to
ascertain. On the contrary,
it is because the Father
of his country was a man Of like
passions with others that he de.
nerves in such ample measure the
latitude and admiration of his
Soouhtry.
With all his human weakness, he
was always faithful to his public
obligations, unfaltering in his
fidelity to his country. He has
given us the best example that his
tory affords, not merely of persist
emit devotion to country, but of the
most sublime abnegation of honors
which he might easily have clutch
ed had his loyalty to principle
been less sincere and indomitabie.
OF all the great leaders of men, an
cient and modern, he remains in a
class by himself.-Courier- Journal.

Northern Pacific Officials Expect to

Year.

Third Vice President J. NJ. Hanna
Fore of the y. L. says that 1000 fam
lies will become residents of North
Dakota this year to settle along the y.
=. line. He says:
We know this because they have
already been on the ground. have
bought their lands, and. in some eases,
nave done a portion Of their springs
blowing. or b lit houses. They have
gone back to their old homes TO winter,
put they will be on hand early in the
spring. The demand for land is
steady anu good. Sales are being
made every day, not for speculative
purposes, but for actual Improvement.
Our immigrants come mainly from
ONO. Kansas. Wisconsin. Illinois, and
tne.y are Il very superior class of peo-
PIE. 10 the most part they are Am.
erlcan born. though probably Il major
NY OF them are Of foreign extraction.
They are men who settled in these
older states at an early day and have
acquired Il competence. When they
moved to the farms they now occupy,
iald was cheap. AS the state has he
come settled up their lands have apnrr-
GATED IN value sul,.cicnt to make Them
small fortunes, and they are now SELL
ing out II ~reihvestin@ in the hope Of
turning another addition to their nc-
cumulations. The land on which they
are living now is worth. say $50 per
acre. They are selling this and buy
ing land at 50 per acre. The man who
mas Luz acres i'll Iowa or Ohio can sell
II and with the money purchase five
times as much i'll North Dakota. This
IS what they are doing. None of
those who will settle in that state next
spring has bought less than 100 acrrs,
ana not a few have purchased IL whole
section"

GROWING NORTH DAKOTA.
Minneapolis Journal: President
Mellen of the Northern Pacific says
four thousand families will move into
North Dakota this year from Europe.
This will mean easily $4,000 people.

Casselton, Maplcton. Davenport, and
the many other villages and the coun-
try districts will add easily $4,000. The
