E.and for state constabulary always
armed and equipped and ready to
start at any moment for the seat or
disorder and we shall have the sys-
tenn of gems de armes of the old world
fastened upon us. There will be the
man in uniform everywhere just as in
Europe. He will have to be maintained
by taxation and the children Of the
men who are SO eager to join lynch
ing parties will be brought down to the
level of the peasants of the old world.
Any man who joins a lynching party
is forging letters for himself and the
children that come after him.
$S$&S
If the mob spirit grows at the same
rate for the next five years as dur
ing the last year, courts and Jur1es
will become obsolete. No man OF
sound mind can fail to see that if this
lynching business goes much farther
it must of necessity end in anarchy
end wholesale rioting and slaughter.
Nothing will stop it until we get back
to the original doctrines proclaimed in
the Declaration of independence and
The constitution.

The Kansas State Historical society
is making an effort, which seems
likely to succeed, to get the scaffold on
which John Brown was hung. 1t is
probably wanted as an object lesson
to show how far the state has de-
generated under republican rule as 1t
is now one Of the negro burning
states.

Every day the papers still publish
accounts of boys who die after suf-
| fering terrible torture" from wounds
| received from toy pistols. These
deaths must run far up in the scores
There is no death more horrible thar
that caused by lockjaw. 1t is time
that every state prohibited the manu-
facture and sale of those most deadl!
| things for it seems that thousands O
American parents are 50 wanting IL
common sense that the public mus
take some action to preserve the live
of children.

country for hundreds of miles does not
average more than one family to ev-
cry twenty miles square. Nothing can
be grown here, only what can stand
hard frosts in midsummer. We had
two hard frosts last week and an inch
of snow fell on the 3rd of July. There
are no gold or silver mines anywhere
rear. The Looloo mines are nearly
fifty miles north, but they are closed.
There is little summer pasture here,
but still less winter hay or grass.
There have been two bears killed with
in few miles of the village this sum-
mer. Wolves are often heard to howl.
A few buffalo and elk were killed here
years ago. A few deer still remain.
Summer visitors are about the only
source of revenue. A railroad route
has lately been surveyed and staked
out, but it will be years before it will
be built and doubtful whether it ever
will pay. Cattle that are raised here
which are the only surplus production
can be driven to market over the
ridge. We have heard more thunder
than ever before in twelve days. Ev-
cry afternoon and evening the noun
tains are capped with thunder clouds.
The labor union of bookbinders in
Washington does not seem to boss
the president or be able to override the
civil service commission. William A.
Miller was discharged by the boss
printer last May, but the president has
reinstated him for the sake of equal
| justice. The printers now will prob
ably all strike.
The state government of Alabama
| has seemed to turn against the late
| enslaving method of colored people,
for debts and fines, called peonage. No
white men or women are SO enslaved.
We can't help believing that all laws
should be equally just toward all
classes. Every law that white citi-
zens have for their protection or ben
eft, colored citizens should have the
same laws. Every law for men. hus-
bands and fathers should be the same
for women, wives and mothers. Ev-
cry law for grown people should be
the same for children. II men are al
lowed to go into saloon and drink
and smoke and chew, women and chill
dren should be allowed the same priv
ilege. Nothing of the kind should be
allowed anybody, old or young. All
laws of this country should be laws
of equality for all classes, sex and
color.

from 10 Western avenue, Minneapolis,
Mimi:
Following a severe attack of Ia grippe
I seemed to be affected badly all over. I
suffered with q severe backache, indf-
gestion and numerous ills, so 1 could
neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I
would give up my work, which could
not afford to do.
"Oneof my customers who was greatly
helped by Feruna advised me to try it,
and procured bottle the same day. I
used it faithfully and felt marked i'm

took five bottles, and then felt splen-

Of the throat, catarrh of the lungs,

states. Another innovation proposed
is electric lighting attachments for
both the patrol and ambulance. lie
is now in correspondence with a Chi

plies, and hopes before another month
to have the conveyances equipped af

The idea is not only to have head
lights, but in addition lights for the
body of the wagons, instead of carry
ing Ianters as now. The batteries
will be kept at the station and charg-
ed before Il run is made. They will
furnish power for six hours. For each
wagon there will also be Il light with
Il cord attachment, to be employed in
case Of accident for the guidance of
police or physicians.

enumerated above. the plan is to pur-
chase with the fund team of horses

At present one team is serving for the

SOUTH SEA ISLANDS
SWEPT BY TIDAL WAVES

Fapeete. Tahiti, July 2S.-Via San
Francisco. Aug. SIT would seem that
the ninety islands Known variously as
the Low archipelago or Tuamotu GROUP.
are destined to be reclaimed by the
Pacific ocean.
Last January they were swept by
Hood composed of nigh waves from the
ocean and the lesser ones from the en-
closed Ia soons, and in consequence
nearly 600 of the inhabitants were
drowned and property to the value of
S500.600 was destroyed. And now. six
months later, fierce gales from the
southwest and southeast have again
caused great surSing crests to sweep
over some of the islands. So far only
four persons are believed to have per-
ished, but the fear is great that when
all the islands are heard from there
may be a distressing list of fatalities.
The steamer Excelsior suffered much
damage during the series of gales,
while she was on her trip from Tahiti
TO the Marquesas group.
Three of the Tuamotu islands were
under water to such an extent that the
inhabitants had to climb cocoanut trees
for safety Houses and stores, coora
and finally the cocoanut trees were Dc
stroyed, while the inhabitants had Il
close call 10 death. 1t is thought most
of the islands of the group were visited

Household Pests.

1t is in the middle of summer If ever
that insect intruders put in their un-
welcome appearance. Once any of the
household pests are seen it is time for
war against them, Alum water is one
of the most successful exterininators
for most creeping things. The alum
should be boiled an hour until 1t is
dissolved. A saturated solution is not
too strong. Keep u bottle of it and
when bugs, ants or cockroaches are
seen apply the liquid with brush TO
cracks in the floor. .bedstead or other
woodwork. as the case may be. To
free their closets from moths, many
heusekeepers lay cloths saturated in
tIIrpentine on floors and shelves. Some
persons declare that pieces of red fan
mel distributed about corners and other
haunts of carpet bugs will lure the en-
eny successfully and keep him from
invading floor coverings and clothing.
FLANNEL. too, it is said, will Danish lit
tie red ants. who will not travel over
wool. They will avoid places where
thew find it. Common borax sprinkled
Iiberally about the haunts of water
bugs viii dispatch them. but the treat
ment should be continuous.
