In looking over our exchanges

LII lOOhluS ONeI Oui CAShduSCo
we note, in advertisements and
otherwise, many names of one
time citizens of Canyon City.
particularly we note the name
of John Houser as a candidate
for district and county clerk of
Sherman county. Few young
men have grown up in Randall
county with a more enviable
record, every body knows him
and he has not an enemy, so far
as we know, in the county. He
is honest to the verge of crank
ness, truthful to a fault, tenn
perate in all things, outspoken
in defence of what he believes
right, in fact he has proven him
self man to be trusted and we
hope he will be elected, feeling
sure he will serve the people
we'll and honor his friends at the
old home by his course.

ANTELOPE MIGRATIoNS.
The "Trek-BokISen" of Early Days
I'm south Africa Was IA Neigh
bOrhood Calamity.

This is the name given by the Dutch
settlers of South Africa to the period
ical migrations of the antelope from
the upper weld to the lower lands.
These removals are described by the
author of "Kloof and Karroo" says
Youths Companion.
In old days these trek-bokken were
source Of the greatest alarm and
danger to the colonist: quite as great,
in fact, as the locust flights. Countless
thousands of anteiopes. impelled by
drought and the loss Of their more Sc
cluded pastures, migrated from their
true nursery and headquarters into
more fertile districts i'm the interior
of the colony.
\ treli-bokken might be witnessed
for a whole day, and the weld would be
left denuded of every scrap of pastur-
age. The immense numbers of the
antelopes literally swept everything
before them, and farmers frequently
lost whole flocks in consequence. From
sheer press of numbers the antelopes
cannot retreat. and one has to be care
full to keep out Of their way.
As the leading antelopes feed and
become satiated, they fall back and al
low those in the rear to come to the
front. But for this provision of in
stinctive nature the rear guard would
be starved to death. for those in front,
of course. leave not a particle of nour-
ishment as they pass. On these occa-
sions the antelopes are wedged So
tightly that escape is impossible; and
indeed it is actually on record that
lions have been carried along, whether
they would or no, in the midst of a
trek-bokken.

SENSE OF THE BLIND.
Development OF n Latent sixth sense
Which Helps to Compensate
for Loss of Sight.

1t is impossible for the most of us to
realize the nature of sixth sense as
it is to represent to our imaginations
the conditions of an existence in fewer
or more, than our familiar three di-
mensions. But the greatest mathema-
ticians are said to attain to a concep-
ton of n fourth dimension, and it is
certain that some people possess a
rudimentary and mysterious faculty
of perception, which is distinct from
the familiar five, says the London
Globe. According to DR.. laval, the
blind Partisan physician, it is the de-
velopment of this latent sixth sense
which serves to compensate the blind
for their loss of sight even more than
an increased alertness of hearing and
of touch. The seat of this rudimentary
sense is in the head; to some of its
possessors it appears more definitely
in the forehead, while others localize
IL in the interior of the ear. It's pos
SCISSORS are able to detect the presence
of a solid object, such as door or wall,
within a short distance of the head in
total darkness, and become aware of
the obstacle by means of sensation
of vibration or pressure upon the ear
or brain, Many persons possess this
sensitiveness without knowing it to be
at all exceptional; but with most of
them it is not strong enough to save
collisions in the dark, except when they
move slowly and carefully. Could it
only be developed to a practical degree
there would be fewer shins scarified in
midnight passages.

PUBLIC UNTIDYNESS.
National slovenIiness of the United
states Is Something to Oc-
casion Wonder.

The discovery that there is more of
filth, squalor and general sloveliness
in public places and works, in streets,
squares, riversides, docks, quays,
roads and bridges in the United
States than in any other country of
the first, or even second, rank is a
humbling but salutary experience. In
what may be called our public house
keeping, in the outward appearance
and maintenance of places and works
administered by public or semi-pub-
lie enterprise we rank with Turkey
rather than with England or Ger
many. Oriental Japan, tiny Switzer-
land and slow-going Holland stand
far ahead of the United States in
this respect, says a writer in the
Forum. Our national sloveliness is
seen in dirty streets and unsightly
water fronts; in ill-kept squares
ragged sidewalks, and abominable
pavements; in shabby railway sta
tions and embankment walls built
up of rotting sleepers; and in a
thousand shiftless substitutes for
SOiN PSi iiahohI NOihS' Inc uHSpedh-
able country roads which abound in
so many regions not only illustrate
the existence, but also demonstrate
the folly of this semi-barbarous
slackness of administration; for they
constitute the most costly means of
transportation possible, impose a
heavy tax on every farmer and other
resident, and are clog upon the gem
eral prosperity of the regions they
traverse. Tidiness and the efficient
maintenance of public works cost
more in the first outlay than negli-
gence; but they save this excess
many times over in the end.

ton and others who planned with him
intended it should be. Instead of five
bedrooms Mrs. Roosevelt will have at
her disposal nine bedchambers on the
second floor, four of which will have
pretty dressing-rooms attached to
them. In addition there will be mag
nificent guest chamber on the first
floor, to be reserved for great person
ages who may be entertained at the
white house. This bedroom, now the
state diningroom, will be of great size
and superbly furnished, as is fitting to
an apartment in which royalties may
sleep. Under ordinary circumstances
Prince Henry of Prussia, on the occa-
sion of his recent visit to Washington,
would have been President Roosevelt's
house guest as a matter of course. But
it was simply out of the question, be-
cause there was no place to put him.
In future, however, whenever a royal
parsonage comes to see us he will get

hibition in the muesum at Washington.
Her idea was to erect two large an
neXes at the rear on the east and west
ends of the mansion, and connect them
by beautiful arched collonade with
the original building. Across the rear
between the two anneXes was to
stretch the conservatory and the in
closed area was to be made a garden
spot of surprising beauty, with its
palms and fountains and brilliant hued
flowers. 1t was the ambition of Mrs.
Harrison to see her plans carried out,
but such was never to be her privilege,
nor that of any others who so warmly
supported her in the matter.
The present plans of alterations in
the white house are the ideas of Presi-
dent'Roosevelt and his wife, and the de-
tails are now being worked out by Ar
chitect Charles T.. McKim, of New
York, under the presidents direction.
The present dimensions of the white
house will not be increased, nor will
there be any external alterations. The
interior, originally colonial in style,
will be restored in such way as to
preserve the original lines and make of
it the mansion which George Washing

servant diplomat, the keen politician
will cease to frequent the halls and
rooms of the white house for the pur-
pose of consideration Of national and
international affairs, and the sacred
precincts of the presidents home will
not be invaded except upon the invita-
tion Of the president and his charm
ing wife, and on the set days for pub
lie functions.
At the present time almost half Of
the capacity of the white house is
President Roosevelt and his large
family are crowded into the west
wing of the mansion, with only five
bedrooms. A temporary office build
ing is to be erected on the white house
lot at an expense of $4,000 to accom-
modate the executive department Of
the government, and in this building
will be transacted all the business of
state, and the cabinet meetings held
there. The alterations on the white
house are to cost in the neighborhood
of S165. 600. Practically the entire in
side of the building is to be torn out
and the building remodeled in such a
manner as to supply all the needs of
the president for comfortable. com
modious domestic accommodations
and for social functions beftting the
exalted position of the nation.
When Mrs. Benjamin Harrison was
mistress of the white house she con-
ceived the idea of magnificent and elab-
crate changes and additions to the
mansion and had the architects pre-
pare plans of the same. A model of the
white house, as it would be with her
ideas carried out, was made at great
expense, and it can now be seen on ex-

and resume his business or whether
he realized that the crash was coming
and decided to get away. Mrs. Hell
ton and their boy are still here, but
shells as much in the dark as to his
plans as are the rest of his friends.
1t seems probable now that the cred
itors of the Helton store will compel
the stock to be taken into bankruptcy,
in which casethe assets will be divided
among all the creditors.
This action is of course brought by
the creditors who we're not protected
by mortgages. L. Hobart, Bixby
and Klauman held mortgages but
it is said the papers had not been filed
long enough prior to the failure to
satisfy the law which regulates such
things. The two banks and the whole
sale grocery each have claims Of some
hundreds of dollars, the lola candy
company has 500 coming, a milk bill
alone amounts to 800, the base bal
association was let down for some $50
being its shareof money earned by the
pop privilege on the ball grounds. II
fact everybody seems to be in.
Tuesday Cliff McCarley tried tc
sci re the soda fountain on the ground
that he had sold it to Helton on the
installment plan, but he ran across q
counter claim Of John Woods who
holds bill of sale to the fountain.
Helton seems to have squeezed every
available cent out of the stock and
what became OF the money nobody
knows. Some say he lived extrava-
gantly; others that he took money
away with him. 1t was reported nov
that he was last heard of at Wichita
and that his wife visited him there.
The lawyers who represent numer
Gus creditors went to Ft. Scott the
other night and made talk to ref
eree-in- bankruptcy G. E. Corey, with
the result that G. G. Helton was de
clared a bankrupt and G. II. Gard o.
this city was appointed a temporary
receiver. The next step will be Q
meeting of all the creditors wher
someone will be selected to take
charge and wind up the affairs of the
store. The liabilities probably are
two or three to one as against the
assets.

Ft. Scott Wants Labor Day.

FIT. Scott seems determined to for
get the practical agreement made last
year at Pittsburg that lola should
have the labor day celebration this
year. She is going ahead with talk
about celebrating there and the labor
organizations of southeastern Kan
sas should take action and decide
where the celebration, shall be. lola
is the proper place, and Pittsburg
ought to stand by her. Yet the Fort
Scott Tribune says:
lola is making quite big talk for
labor day celebration and is attempt
ing to get the crowd away from Fort
Scott Invitations have been received
in this city and some of the union men
are having some fun with the lola
neighbors. In advertising the cele-
bration TO be held over there and in
sending out invitations the union la
bel is not found on the printing. In
this manner the little burg is trying
to work up a good crowd for the cele
bration and keep Fort Scott from hav-
ing big time, but this viii be found
to be pretty hard thing.

something more than a dinner or two
from the president. lie will occupy
the state guest chamber, and will be
made to feel at home.
The presidents present Office will be
come hedchamber, with the warroom
adjoining as a boudoir. In like man
ner the cabinet-roOm and the room oc-
cupied by secretary Cortelyou will be
changed into bedchambers, and the
telegraph-room become a boudoir.
The stairs now leading to the official
quarters are to be taken away and the
space thus made vacant on the second
floor will contain bedroom. The por-
tion Of the main corridor hitherto
used as an anteropm for the accommo-
4dation of office-seekers and other busi-
ness callers will be reclaimed as pri-
vate hallway.
The changes on the first floor will be
less radical. The present ceremonial
dining-room, as already indicated, will
become the state guest chamber, and
an anteroom will take the place of the
stairs, while the famous east room will
be transformed into a banquet hall,
the use for which ii was originally in
tended when the building was first
planned.
No little interest attaches to the pro-
posed alterations in the white house,
inasmuch as it evidently marks the
final disposition of the question of the
evolution of the mansion. Since its
corner stone was laid in 1792by George
L., Il
have marked the history of the white
house. Originally the front door was
on what is now the rear side Of the
mansion, Pennsylvania avenue at that
time running south Of the white house.

The Graduates of Allen COunty's
Schools Received Their Diplomas
Monday Night.

Kansas and education are almost
synonomous terms. The state is sand
to have fewer illterates than any
other state in the Union. Her people
stand ready to adopt any feature that
will interest and advance the school
children and her educational methods
and systems are far in advance of
many older states. One Of the COM
paratively new features, but one
which has grown rapidly in impor-
tance and interest, is the granting of
diplomas on the completion of the
common school course. 1t gives the
children of the country school some-
thing to look forward to and helps to
keep them in school till the course is
completed. 1t makes a milestone for
them the same as High School com
mencement does to the High School
student or the College commencement
10 the College student.
1t is customary in this county to
choose some night during the session
of the Normal for the graduates to
gather from all over the county, have
appropriate exercises and an address
and there present them with their
diplomas. Monday night was the date
selected for this year and all that day
the graduates and their friends began
gathering early in the day. There
were seven.y-four graduates in the
county and Miss Olmstead had worked
up such an interest in the event that
all but seven of them were on hand.
A platform had been built in the High
seat the class, and it was an inspiring
sight to see the seventy young men
and young women walk in and take
their places. Seventy Allen county
boys and girls who have labored and
worked with their books and prob.

generation ever had opportunity to
secure. 1t augurs we'll for the future.
