Danger in VoIubflftx.

Don't talk! That was Grants rule,
and is the rule of other leaders who
have triumphed in war and politics.
There is safety in silence and dan
ger in volubility. Polonius gave
priceless counsel when he warned
his son to give all men his ear, but
his thought no tongue. The princi-
pie is a wise one to follow in any vo-
cation, and it's value in the military
profession is so great that it might
properly be printed in letters of red
in the army regulations.

Minor State New. Items.

Something of a sensation was crea
ted at Lawrence when it was an
nounced that a recount of ballots in
the Thirteenth Legislative district
showed that j. L. Brady, editor of
the Lawrence World, had defeated
George J. Barker, who was speaker
of the last house. Two weeks before
Barker had been declared the nomi-
nee.
Recently the Kansas City, Law
renee & Topeka Electric line was sur

The republican nominee for
delegate to congress from Oklahoma
is a formerly of Kansan man. He
served two terms as prosecuting at
torney of Chautauqua county, and
at the time of his election in 1890
was the youngest man who, up to
that time, had held such a position
| in the state. Mcclure is a graduate
| of the Kansas state normal and of
the law department of Kansas uni
versity.

ton has been receiving letters from
Kansas requesting him to address
a public meeting at Topeka as soon

journs He has been considering the
ACCESSIBILITY of making statement
of his position on reciprocity, and it
is not improbable that he may give
his views to the public through a
speech instead of prepared state

Jim Casey's Fourth
The Most Glorious Day In a
Mountain Boys Life.

= 1IM CASEY had come down from his
mountain home to attend the school
81 in the village of Clayton, which rest
ed in lovely valley in West Vir-
ginia
The boys had been talking for weeks
about the approaching Fourth, and the
royal fun they expected to have, and the
heart of Jim leaped expectantly- He was
tail, awkward lad of IL, whose ig-
norance of the ways of the village
and general lack. of knowledge made
him butt of ridicule by his fell
lows, but he was so good natured that this
did not concern him much, as the boys
really liked him, and their practical jokes
were of harmless kind.
He had never before heard of the Fourth,
and did not have the slightest notion of its
meaning. Nor had he the least desire to
know. It was sufficient for him that there
was to be plenty-of fun, and his happy ma
ture was content with this.
As a special mark of honor and favor,
he was assigned to the duty of ringing the
bell of the Baptist church, beginning at the
midnight hour.
His companions did not think it necessary
to inform him that the sexton, crusty old
fellow, had refused to permit the bell to

Consolation for the Beers.

Under the treaty of peace the bur-
ghers can return to their farms with
the assurance of greater material
assistance than was ever before
granted a defeated people. The
British gov eminent allows the sum
of SIS 100000 to be distributed under
the advice of Boer commissions to
persons resuming their normal oc-
equations. This amount is equiva-
lent to $1,000 each to $4,000 burghers,
and they alone can participate, as
foreigners and colonial rebels are ex
Guided.

Not a welcome evidence.

The number of immigrants coming
to the United States this year prom
ises to be nearly one-fourth greater
than that of last year, and 2H times
as great as the number four years
ago. The treasury department be-
ieves that the total immigration for
the year will be nearly, if not quite,

what About Your School Housess

You may not this season be able to build
a new one, or make the radical changes in
the old one that you had in contemplat Jon,
but there is no school district in the Unit
ed States that cannot afford to tint with
Alabastine the interior of their buildings,
thus making them more attractive, get
ting coiors made with special reference to
ting a sanitary and rock base cement coat
ing that will not harbor disease germs.
The closely crowded school rooms need
all the safeguards to the health of the pu-
pill that intelligent officials can surround
them with, and all sanitalians unite in say
ing that Alabast inc is the only proper ma
terial to be used on such walls.

PeriIs of July 4.

1t has often been found that those
who make the most noise on the
Fourth of July know the least about
it. In time, as public sentiment
works slowly up to it, the cannon
cracker and all extraordinarily dis
turbing decorating toys will be pro-
hibited. The observance of the
Fourth of July has become in many
instances a terrifying and danger
Gus nuisance, accompanied by death
and disaster, fire and bloodshed, and
it will continue until municipalities
take control of festivities.

in demanding that the American peo-
pie be made free and Independent be-
fore the people of the Philippines, and
no man can consider himself free who
is forced to pay toll to corporation

law has made foreign competition i'm

Compelled Trimming of Trees.
At recent meeting of the Clay
CENTER council an ordinance was
passed requiring the trimming of all
trees in the city so that no limbs
hang over the walks. A general
crusade against low hanging limbs
resulted. Cotton-bearing cottonwood
trees have been practically eliminated
from the city and the cotton nuisance
was this year not experienced. The
streets of Clay Center, in regard to
their trees, now present an appear
ance probably equalled by no other
city streets in Kansas for beauty.
