Christ Veeh Insane.

Christ Veeh, who has resided a
short distance northwest of this city,
keeping bachelor quarters for several
years, was brought before the Probate
Judge on Tuesday charged with in
sanity.
For several days the nelghbors have
noticed that he has been acting
strangely, becoming somewhat violent
by spells during the last few days.
He had worked for John Gundel for
five or six years previous to living on
farm by himself and consequently
was we'll acquainted with that family.
He assaulted the girls in the family
a time or two and might have done
harm but for timely interference on
the part of Mr.. Gundel. He also at
tempted self-destructi on by jumping
from a bridge into the creek. His
dementia seems to be that he is Jesus
Christ.
At the trial before the Probate
Judge, Tuesday, DrS. Y. f. Burt and
e. A. Nelson passed upon his sanity
and adjudged him fit subject for the
asylum. A telegram was sent to To-
peka because Of the difficulty of guard
ing him without good jail, and he
was taken away that night. Before
leaving, however, he jumped from a
west window Of the hotel Office and
hurt himself badly.

The joints in this city are not do
ing business and PhillipSburg may be
claSsed among the dry towns. Closing
peacefully is a much better way than
having to be forced to quit for a time
after litigation and conviction.
Philllpsburg has passed the 1000
mark. II. S. Polling, trustee, has fig
ured the population at 1,O22. This is
the permanent population. Besides
this number there is quite floating
resident list, and Auburn Heights,
which is not in the city limits, but
really part of the town would, if
counted in, swell the number to 1900
or l, AGO.
T.. Levin who recently sold his
farm near town expects to leave in a
short time for Vasallia California.
Mr.. Levin has resided in Kansas for
twenty three years, twelve of which
have been in this county. During
that period many associations have
been formed which will be hard to
break. He has spent about four weeks
visiting friends and relatives in Iowa,
whom he had not visited for twenty
years, and will also visit in Stockton
before leaving. Mr.. Levin expects to
locate in California permanently if
satisfied with the country and he TAX
eS with him the best wishes of large
number Of friends.

The sIipshoa way.

Those who do not intend to cut theIr
corn or who have delayed the cutting
until it is too late, will propably slip
chuck 1t, crib It and let the weeyils eat
the best Of It Then they will be -
short of feed for few months that
the hogs will be poor, tho cows dry
up, and the p1ow teams will not -
strong enough to do any good ploWing.
and as a result next years crops VIII
be short. But why grumble about
short crops when that which 10 grown
is one-third left in the field, and Of the
balance 4 large portion Is eaten by'
weeyils? Enough bi-sulphide of car
bon to protect an entire crib full BY
killing gevery insect In It might cost
a half dollar. There will be q better
use for every bushel Of corn saYed
than feeding weevils. Where woevils
prevail, as Is the case over half Of
Texas at least, q few punches Of rags
the size Of large peach, saturated
with the bi-sulphide and thrust into
the corn foot or 50 below the surface.
will do the work. It Is more sAtisfac-
tory than the old way Of wettinE the
corn. for while water enough will keep
out the weevil, It will damage the corn
more or less. Farm and Ranch.

EX-EMpRESS CARLOTTA OF MEXICO, ..
MAD FOR MANY YEARS, IS NOW DYING
Ever Since 1861 She Has Kept Mock Court in Chateau

promised "all these will give unto thee.

would have made Ferdinand the nex1
heir had he then been living.
Carlotta, as empress Of country
which wished to be republic, played hel
losing game bravely, and even brilliant
ly. In magnifcence Of her court, In per.
sonal extravaganza, she was almost
second Eugene. She was sincerely In
terested In her people, gave Macmillan
sage counsel in state matters, restored
the semi-ruined Chapultepec, palace q
the Aztec kings, and rebuilt the cele'
brated 'Montezuma bath" Is
When the climax of the Inflated Mex.
lean empire came, Macmillan was III
with fever, and his presence at the seat
of trouble was imperative. The empress
undertook to return to Europe to invoke
aid of Napoleon I'LL, and OF the pope. But
Napoleon, who had gotten them into this
predicament, was not going to help them
out. Then it was that the first mad
symptoms manifested themselves. She
left Napoleon in despair, and arriving At
the Grand hotel In Paris, she had an at
tack of insanity.
In many quarters in Mexico to-day
more sinister cause for her mental break
down is implicitly believed In. It is az
serted that a decoction of the "loco
root" which produces insanity, was Sc
cretly introduced into her food by some
disaffected subject. But whatever the
cause OF her madness, it has never left
her. Reports Of her death were sent tc
her husband shortly before his own exc.
cution, thus sparing him one torment. q
The ex-empress has been confined for
many years in the Chateau de Bonchat
near Brussels. For years she has made
pathetic pretense Of holding court, order
ing the pictures taken down from the
walls, that she might give; them to her
attendants-who would quietly replace
them-and excited by all visitors save
her sister-in-law, the late Queen Henri

received the Impressions, current in Bel

portion of her once splendid. fortune,

In 81 years she had just one moment
Of happiness That was when she was
told Of the death of Napoleon III.
