town Of Pawnee, the first capital of the
State. The town was started by BOOM

Governor, A. II. Reder, who owned land
there and was good deal of specu-

houses were made ready for the first

1855, the Governor called the Legisla-

whether male or female. If the stu
dent is tardy only once she allows that
student to kiss her. All students who
disObey this standard are ruled out of
the kissing match. The kisses are
given and taken every Friday after
noon. Needless to say the young men
do not play "hooky" on that day.
There are slxty-five pupils at the Will
son district school. Four years ago
Miss Daniels went there from Illinois.
She was a good teacher, but the stu
dents, mostly boys, were hopeless vic
tins of the 'hooky" habit. Try as she
would the pretty schoolma'am could
not keep them in school regularly. She
arranged u list of prizes to those who
attended regularly, but they held no
attractions for the country boys.
Then she consulted with the school
board on the kissing question. They
were willing If she cared to experiment
that way. Some of the school board
said among themselves if she did adopt
the plan they believed they would start
to school again. So two years ago she
adopted the scheme, and 1t has worked
well ever since.

prairie schooners, Il long procession
that wound it's way $50 miles out on
the prairie, the travellers growing more
angry that the Governor had selected
so distant a place. They had provisions
for the trip, and when they reached
Pawnee not one of them went to the
boarding houses as had been expected,
but they cooked in their wagons and
lived on the edge of the town site.
On the day for the opening OF the
Legislature they went to the new stone
building and held session, which con-
sisted of organizing and adjOurning to
Shawnee Mission in the eastern part of
the State, where, despite all the efforts
of the Governor, the remainder of the
session was held.
Pawnee did not make town. The
cholera broke out the next year at Fort
Riley and the people fled. The State
house stands out on the plain, deserted,
the roof gone and the interior n place
for the hiding of coyotes and sandhill
owls. The State has been asked to pur-
chase the old ruin and preserve it for
future generations, who will doubtless
appreciate it as a reminder Of the eff
forts of the first-comerS to make this a
great city, and for a time it seemed
likely that they would succeed.

MEN THE CHEAPEST.
Animal Hire in Russia Exceeds That
Paid for Human Labor.

Animal Hire in Russia Exceeds That
Paid for Human Labor.
In Russia the wages of horse are
higher than those of man, and hence,
Of course, very much higher than the
wages of women. Thus, in the Nishni-
Nolga section, We find the average pay
of man and horse to be about ~ cents
per day; of man alone, "a cents; that is,
3S cents for a horse, and 81 cents for
man. The women receive from 10 to
20 cents. In the central agricultural
region the average is: Horse, % cents;
man, 20 cents; woman, 13 cents. In the
southern steppe: Horse, 36 cents; man,
% cents; woman, 1G cents.
This is an interesting commentary on
the standard of living of Russian agri-
cultural labOrers. Its meaning Is SIM
ply that human beings are cheaper than
draught animals. In other words, it
costs less to keep them alive. In the
southern steppe five women can be EN-
ployed more cheaply than two horses.
Is 1t difficult to imagine the condition
of home life, the dearth of refining it-
fiuences, the sOdden, hopeless stagna-
ton that such state of affairs reflects?
Is it any wonder that the products OF
such wage status as this are lndivid-
ual degradation, social barrenness,
meager education, political despotism,
religious intolerance, and, generally, a
type of civilization scarcely above BAR
barianism?

 ROCHESTER, (N. Y.,) Correspondence Chicago Tribune:l While testing 8 telescope on the roof of an optical fac tory in this city, party of scientists discovered thief at work over two miles away, and informed the police and had him placed under arrest.
 Lorenzo Hanian, r years old, ab- stracted tub of butter from the rear of farmers wagon, and, carrying it across the Vincent,street bridge, con cealed it under the structure, all of which was plainly witnessed by the party of scientists testing the big in- strument.
 The police lay in wait for Hanian, and when lie came to secure his booty effected his capture. After all this had happened an excited farmer appeared and said that he had been robbed of tub ofbutter.
 The farmer is still mysti6ed as to how the butter reached the police sta- ton before he did.

THE Enterprise takes the TRIBUNE to task for preferring Mark Smith to General Wilson for delegate to Con- gress, and asks, "Why not be decent, Reppy, and let the convention speak ?" It then shows the same want of "decency" that we had exhibited by closing it's tirade as follows:
 We believe a sense of justice and the true spirit of democracy will prevail at the next democratic convention, and that General Wilson will be re-nominated. as he should be, by exclamation.
 It is certainly the privilege of man or newspaper to express preference for candidate prior to the nominat- ing convention, and we never before heard it charged as indeceney so to do. General Wilson was not our choice two years ago and he is not our choice now, yet the TRIBUNE supported him as Loyalty as any newspaper in the territory, and will so support him this year if he gets the democratic nomina- tion. The TRIBUNE has never spoken of General Wilson exceptin the kindest terms, as it has great respect for him. Yet this is not question of respect or decency, but rather a matter of get ting the best service possible. Mark Smiths ten years in Congress, his wide acquaintance and ability give him an advantage which any man can see at a glance. This is our reason for preferring him as representative.

How happy some so-called democrats would be if they could elect Bryan and Stevenson by their little selves. But they are not going to do it-they will have the assistance of hundreds of thousands of populists, silver republi- cans and other reformers, who are in the fight for the principles involved, and who cannot be driven from the performance of their plain duty by the sneers and petty jealousies of creatures who are democrats only in name.
